I too have fine curly longish hair - and found your video to be very helpful. Most of the videos I was seeing were with women that have very thick hair. Thank You!
I was actually nervous to try these because I thought my hair was too thin for them. So glad you found my video helpful!❤️ Let me know what you might like to see for my next video.😊
Thanks for the curl clip tut 😂 its crazy how something so simple in application can escape you. I would never think of clipping the clips that way. Thanks
Great video! My hair is super fine and thinning as I am aging, but I wonder if you would list all of the hair products that you use, especially what gel you use for casting it and how it works.😊. My hair used to be really curly like yours, and I hate that it is anymore. You have gorgeous hair.
@kimberlykidd3755 I love the Curl Keeper Gel. Gives me a great cast, but it's still very lightweight. Great for my fine hair!! My discount code is STEPH15. 💕
Thanks for sharing these tips. I have thinning hair and find it hard to get volume at the roots. I want to grow my hair out but, in the past, my hair allows gets weighted down when it’s longer. I hope these clips help give me the volume I’m looking for. I just ordered a set.
Yay! I hope you love them! Typically my roots get flatter as my hair grows. These are the only way I manage to get root volume on washday! It makes my hair look so much fuller!
Your comment about how it's better to root clip earlier makes so much sense! It is odd that it is commonly shared that root clipping should be done at the very end of a routine.
Thank you!❤️ This robe is from Victoria's Secret from awhile ago. It's from when I got married, says "sexy bride" on the back.😄 I'm actually shopping around for some new robes though.
Beautiful! Thank you so much! I just found this! Do you use a Dyson dryer/ diffuser? if not what kind do you use? Your hair is amazing. I just ordered the clips, cannot wait to try!
Great video - these clips are great tools for many curlies. I have low density fine curls and when I tried them a while ago found they were too big and heavy for my fine thin curls. I gave them to a friend with coarse and higher density curls to use and switched to using small to medium sized claw grips/clips as they are a good size for me and not too bulky and heavy in my hair. Little trickier to take them out - just have to be careful. Hope this helps anyone else with fine but low density hair who also finds your clips too big and heavy for their hair. Ideally I wish that they'd make these same clips in a smaller size. I'm keen to see more curly videos from you, Stephanie - great name by the way! 😀 My hair is shorter but always interested in picking up good ideas from other fine haired curlies.
Thank you Stephanie!😊 I think I'll ask the company about making smaller size clips. Great ideas! Please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to see in the next video.
@@senseofbeautybystephanie I recently splashed out the $s and bought two pairs if Lorraine Massey's CurlyWorld Pik Me Ups. I'd tried the interlocked afro picks previously but they were too heavy for my fine low density curls. The Pink Me Ups are really light - not just hollow handles the metal prongs are really light too and work really well, you hardly notice they are in your hair. I bought 2 pairs so could put one set right back in crown area and the other more forward on top of head. Really really love them. They are pricey but I've found they are worth the $s. I still use the odd claw clips in any places not covered by the piks. As for areas to cover in future - anything that's useful for fine hair - getting volume without product weighing it down. Styling tips, products (or nature of products/ ingredients - I'm in Australia so don't have access to all the products available in US, get some US brands that local online curly shops import but nothing like the range you have access to). Also hairstyles, anything to do with fine curly hair especially if it can be applied to shorter lengths and low density too. I like your overall video style/presence - great to watch. 😀
I have fine curly hair that's low to medium density, & my fine stands have that real "slippery" texture that makes them almost silky, meaning any form of root lift & even root curl is very difficult to achieve. After trying various metal clips as well as these bulky things made for root lift (they're REALLY heavy & just pulled my hair downward) I also started using the small & mini claw clips and finally had some success! They even helped with root curl since it relieved the weight of my hair off my my fine stranded root area. I read your follow up comment & I guess I'll have to look into those... Though the idea of handing money over to Lorraine Massey makes me cringe. (Sorry, I'm just not a fan of hers, the things she's done, nor most the "advice" she gives). I'm going to take a look though, thanks!
@@VengefulAngeI I understand not wanting to buy from Lorraine, it's a double whammy here in Australia as I didn't really want to support the exclusive Australian distributor/seller of Curly World products but no alternative as other curly retailers don't want to buy from there either for good reasons. However I was sick of getting snags causing frizz when removing the only medium sized claw clips that were light enough for me. Found some on Etsy that had covers for the springs to prevent snags but were heavier and tipped over, made worse because the material they are made from doesn't grip my fine soft hair as well. So bought the Pick Me Ups as a one off. Now couldn't be without my two pairs of them, wouldn't go back.
@@senseofbeautybystephanie Don't suppose you had any luck asking the company to make smaller versions of the clips for those with fine thin hair? I'm using my Curly World Pick Me Ups pretty successfully but sometimes wish I had a mini version of these clips too to use in conjunction with the combs.
I love that you not only told us when to root clip, but also which direction to position the clips and why/how. Thank you so much! BTW, which brand of blow dryer do you use?
@@senseofbeautybystephanie Another great thing is the Deva curl (The shape of a hand). Really helps to dry the hair underneath to get ready for the clips. Just want to pass this along.
Thank you for creating this video. I accidentally found these clips on Pinterest and then went here and found your video on how to use them. I’d like to know if we can use them with wet hair and then diffuse? I have vertigo and can’t move my head in all different positions. Thanks again! I subscribed to your channel and can’t wait to see more! 🙂
Great suggestion! I actually love refreshes! I can typically get 3 good refreshes throughout my washweek. I have 2 different refresh routines that work well for me.😊
Awesome. Another subscriber told me about your channel. I recently purchased these and didn’t know how to use them. I hope I can get the volume on my crown area. That’s the area I struggle the most.
So happy your friend referred you to my channel! Thank you for subscribing.💕 These root clips are the only way I get root volume on washday! When I spray them, it really locks it in!
Also I wanted to mention that I have a lot of trouble keeping my hair out of my face. I grew out my bangs because I couldn't stand them being on my forehead anymore, and my hair has a natural part to the side, but I have so much trouble keeping it out of my face without gluing it down with hairspray.
So...after trying the curly girl method for my wavy/curly hair, my husband keeps telling me to brush it! In his eyes it's very messy. But of course, if I brush it I get a frizzy birds nest. I suppose he just has to get used to it, lol!
Hello can you tell me if these clips might work for volume on hair that is not curly? I to use a round brush with blow dryer for heat placed at the root to create style day 1 which is great but wondering if it will work specifically on day 2…your thoughts plz.
Hmm. Not sure of that. It would depend on the texture and density of your hair. If your hair is stick straight and fine, I don't think they would work. However, if you have thicker, more coarse, or dense hair, then it can definitely give you lift at the roots more easily.😊
This is actually the diffuser that comes with the Dyson Supersonic. It's a pretty pricey blowdryer, but really cuts down on time. I'm hoping to test out the Shark one soon. I hear it works great as well and has a nice diffuser.😊
I have tried several great products now! My favs that give me consistent results are still the Curl Keeper Original + Gel! I add the HairCovery Thickening and Volumizing Holding Spray when I root clip. These products are linked in the caption for you!😊
I just linked it in the description box for you!😊 It's my fav oil, Nangai Oil. It's a dry oil that's almost pure triglycerides! I use it on my face, hair, nails etc.
Thank you!💕 I started a new channel for my real estate business, so I'm trying to carve out time for another video on here.😅 What topic would you like to see me cover? Anything in particular?
@@senseofbeautybystephanie - Thank you for responding. 🙏🏻 Nothing “particular” to request… 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe hair products that work well for you? Never saw anyone with hair similar to mine & what you did with yours is exactly where I’d like to go! Have ordered those large root lifting clips & can’t wait until they arrive to try them out. Just got into the curly girl routine ~ 6 months ago & the last time I did my hair it came out really great after watching YOUR video. Used the alligator clips available but they kind of get caught/tangled so the large ones were ordered. Am a 70+ year old lady that grew her hair out during the pandemic. It’s very curly in back but just wavy in front. Am excited to keep experimenting! BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR R.E. ADVENTURES! ❤️❤️❤️
@kimberlykidd3755 The less you mess with it, the less frizz you create! You want to let it dry completely before you scrunch out the crunch or shake out the roots.
I just use regular cheap claw clips in different sizes. I only like to do it on the back top like the crown. No special clips needed.Thanks for video

Thank you!💕 Play around with them and see what works best for your hair.😊
Back of my head is flat. Hoping this method will create volume back there! Thanks!
Thank you for the tips..also love the robe...where did you get it?
Thank you!❤️ This robe is from Victoria's Secret from awhile ago. It's from when I got married, says "sexy bride" on the back.😄 I'm actually shopping around for some new robes though.
You have absolutely gorgeous curly hair!!Did you start off with dry hair/roots before clipping?
@@cindylou7852 Thank you! I diffuse my hair until it's about 90% dry. Then I put my root clips in and finish diffusing, or let it air dry.
Beautiful! Thank you so much! I just found this! Do you use a Dyson dryer/ diffuser? if not what kind do you use? Your hair is amazing. I just ordered the clips, cannot wait to try!
@reneetomlinson6295 Yes, the Dyson. Definitely an investment, but I'm super happy with how fast it dries my hair.
Such a helpful video. Wow can’t wait till I start this process.
Awesome! I'm excited for you! Let me know how it goes.😊
OMG, I have this feeling you just changed my life, lol. Thank you! Beautiful hair btw
Oh wow! Live that!!🥰🥰 I'm hoping to film new videos for you soon for both hair and makeup! Let me know if there is anything you would like to see.😊

Thank you for sharing this. I have very curly 3C hair but my roots are flat and I was looking for a way to raise them or lift them. Thanks.

Such a great tutorial! Your hair is beautiful. I wish I could figure out the no part for my hair.
Thank you Michelle! Do you normally prefer a strict part?
@@senseofbeautybystephanie not really but when I try to style without it just never works

@@kimberlykidd3755 I feel like root clipping also trains the hair to stay out of your face better.
What is you hairtype? Bc i have the same texture and i am unsure what culy cuts i could get
Can you recommend another protein oil besides Nangai Oil?

I think the “stringyness” looks quite nice on her hair but if you want larger clumps maybe you can try the roping method when applying styler?

How do you know that you shouldn't touch your curly hair much at all
@kimberlykidd3755 The less you mess with it, the less frizz you create! You want to let it dry completely before you scrunch out the crunch or shake out the roots.
I discovered root clipping myself by accident. I use clips anyway they can be very pretty.
Love that!
Thanks so much. Can never find a curly girl like me.
Wonderful! You're welcome!
It looks like you didn’t scrunch all of the gel out
Ever root clip with those silver clips and find some still in your hair the next week?
No I haven't!😅 I've heard other people having issues with them snagging. Plus, they looked to small to be effective enough for me.😊
😫 ah the flat life. Lol it's like my hair hugs my head 😂
Oh man, I know what you mean! My hair is flat to my head without root clipping.😅
Less talking more doing!
