- My curly hair transformation after 30 days on the curly girl method! I followed the curly girl method for 30 days with a cgm approved wavy hair routine. My curly hair journey as a beginner was definitely up and down. I tried lots of curly hair products, tutorials, and wavy hair routines to try and embrace my natural curls and waves, and the results are pretty crazy! I even got a special curly deva cut!
I also address the deva curl controversy at the end of this video. When I started this hair journey, I didn't know about all the issues with deva curl products, but after researching I will no longer be using devacurl.
The amazing curly hair youtubers who inspired me to try and embrace my natural hair!

Hey friends!! I’m sooo happy with my curly girl method transformation! Also, thank you for informing me about DevaCurl, I talk about what’s been going on with them and why I’m no longer using their products at 29:50 😊
Thank you for addressing!! I can always count on your honesty and loyalty to your subscribers!
Dammit I just bought the devacurl stuff I usually use, now what is wrong?
Hey! When you're blow drying, blow down instead of up, and you will avoid the frizz :)
You should try LUS products! They are amazing for wavy and curly girls 😍
@@BatyBug long story short, the no poo line is causing hair damage and loss. They think it's the no poo line but its recommended to quit all products. A lawsuit is currently in progress.
Saw the devacurl bottles and came straight to the comments😂
ahahha sameeee
SAME!
BberryWaffles same
Same
Same
Video idea: recreating pictures of my mom/parents! You look just like her, and you get to do some fun fashion looks!
SarahAnne622 this would be so good!!
Oooh that’s such a good idea!!
I did this for Mother’s Day with my mom! I had pictures of my mom and her late mom and recreated them with myself and her. They were so awesome, and it was a surprise.
Love this!
And her little brother should do a photo because he is the spitting image of their dad!!
Me: *doesn't even have curly hair*
Her: *holds up DevaCurl products*
Me: "girl nooooo" 🙈 *scrolls to comments*
BabeDollB same. I have extremely curly hair but I’ve never used deva curl. As soon as she said “low poo “ I scrolled down. I’ve never embraced my natural hair but I think it’s extremely tragic that people who choose to, could end up in a class action lawsuit.
same
BabeDollB ME!! Exactly
I know, deva curl ruined me curls . It gave me frizz and gave me baby hairs , I NEVER had baby hairs until I used it
literally meee hahaha
Me:*sees devacurl product*
Me: it's surely an old video,*cheks date*
Me :HOLY SHIT SAVE THIS WOMAN
British To the heart I did the exact same!!!!
Same!
She wrote about it in the description ;)
Read the description girl :) it’s a new video but she started filming before she was informed! She addresses it in this video and others :)
Me: *has straight hair*
Also me: *watches a 30 minute video on how to get your curls back*
😂😂😂😂😂
Me too 😥😅🤣
Me too...lol
same...
me: *is a guy*
*has short hair*
*has straight hair*
also me: *watches a 30 minute video on how to get your curls back*
Same 😂
Me too haha I love my straight hair and I think it’s nice to learn about other people’s experiences. Sierra’s hair is pretty😀
Your hair day one is like Hermione first movie and your hair day 30 is Hermione movie 7!! Looks so good! Love your natural hair!!
Hahahaha, This is the best & most true explanation of the transformation! I too love Sierra's natural hair!
Sami Amado
yes. oh my. yes
IM THE THOUSANDTH LIKE
@@Tttttttttttttttttttttttttttt99 yes!!!
Lmao this also just makes me think Hermione was going through a curly girl method transformation we all go through from ages 11-17 😂
Does anyone else have straight & curly hair? The top layer is straight but underneath it starts getting curly and wavey
X X i have sort of reverse of that, the top is super curly and the underneath is straight, it’s kind of weird
Me too! I hate it and its so confusing
Yes it's so annoying, and on some days my hair is wavy and some days its really curly, I'm confused 😂
It's cause your hair is heavy and weighing down the top of your hair (makes hair look like a triangle). It looks more even when you get a layered hair cut
Chamodhi Manodhya I do have a layered hair cut, I think it’s that my curl pattern is more defined underneath as I brush it less there idk aha
Isn’t diva curl making everyone’s hair fall out?
Jackie Olivia yes. I just stopped using it last week after a year and a half on, after seeing all the videos of damage and lawsuits..... and the difference I’m seeing already is crazy. I thought I had a thyroid issue or something because my hair was falling out and thin and damaged
yeahhh 😬 check out Manes By Mell's video because she explains why it may not be the products but actually the curly girl method that is the problem!
Yeah this was filmed before things got really well known she tweeted about stopping the divacurl when she found out
I feel like all the frizz she got is because the lo poo.
Yes it is
The Curly Community seeing DevaCurl: *war flashbacks*
Etta I was shook when she held up those products
Im kind of glad ive only ever used wave maker and i stopped using it when i found the Miss Jessie’s multicultural curls 🙈
@@joannajonas31 just started using Miss Jessie. Love it so far!
Etta yessss
This! I just replaced all my products with briogeo products and did my washday with them yesterday. Love it so far so I’ll see how I’ll like these products a couple washes in. Also wanna try some jessicurl products next I think 😊
The number 1 thing you have to get through as a curly girl: you don't have 100 % control over it lol
LoveBaseballLove THIS. 🙌🏼
FACTS! It wasn't until my curly bestie said this to me that I finally began to enjoy my curls and having the most amazing curl days ever.
I might need to screenshot this and put it as my background because boyyyyy I have control issues with my hair😂
FINALLY WATCHING & omg for the record that scalp massager is 100% the best thing I've ever bought...like in my life. YOU LOOK AMAZE!!!!!
I would love to see an update in like 6 months or so when your previously damaged hair has had more time to grow out!
It’ll be soon ☺️
I’m on day 7 and struggling so much I washed yesterday and it is horrible I have to wash again today I can’t work with it looking so greasy so I think no curl cream just gel I’ll let you know how it goes cause it was not great yesterday just frizzy
your mother is absolutely stunning. you look like her.
Thank you!!
especially with the curly hair!!
her dad is a massive spunk too!
Her dad is a massive spunk too!
her: it took me 10 to 15 minutes to detangle
me: laughs in afro
Hahah😂 bet you're gorgeous still (sorry if i spelled that wrong, not a native speaker)
But gurl afros are damn fabulous
lolololololol me too girl... me too... smh I wish
It takes me at least an hour to detangle. But it is SO worth the look of a polished Afro!
1.5 hrs to detangle my hair, love hate relationship
Quick tip: something that helps me with frizz is holding the diffuser over a section of hair for longer periods of time instead of switching positions every few seconds.
Yes! this, and turning it off in between switching sections. It cuts back on the frizz soooo much.
Me: Has pin-straight hair yet continues to watch Sierra's video because I love her and wonder what its like to have curly hair
Chloé Cat saaaameee!!! Lol love her!
I'm jealous of your straight hair!!! I would trade you any day!!! Lol
I love straight hair and I love curly hair both but I have really ugly inconsistent wavy hair so nature did not play in my favor lmao
It’s always like playing a mystery game 😂
Especially on wash day - Seeing what your curls need (moisture vs protein), how it dries, and how it reacts with the weather 🤪
Whatever you do don’t get a perm. It was the worst mistake. It was 2 years in January since I had it and I finally cut the rest of it out! I followed th curly girl method to keep it looking good but I still never liked it and it was a lot more work. I’m thankful for my pin straight hair back lol
“Took about 10/15 minutes to detangle my hair”
Me: cries in 4c
FRRRR
FACTS
FRRRR
Lol Right?!
Me
I love it whenever a person accepts their curly hair. I never straightened my hair but I also didn't follow any curly hair techniques or routines. So I had like a hair nest of frizz. I had sort of accepted my hair was gonna be forever that ugly. Until I discovered curly girl method. I get so many compliments now, and other curly girls ask for tips.
Hey so as someone who has had curly hair when I was younger then brushed it out for years. I have been trying to repair it and I was wondering what shampoo and conditioner you would recommend
@@christinamelchiors7752 not the OG comment but look for products on your area that are CGM approved, I recommend checking insta and fb groups (Curly Girl Method Uncensored is my fave)~
Lola Paez thank you so much
@@christinamelchiors7752 no problem! Also checkout All Things Olive here on youtube she has tons of tips!
It’s clearly obvious who did and didn’t watch the video to the very end
Glitter Tana Beauty haha right?! Soo many deva curl comments. If they watched to the end there wouldn’t be so many comments
I think a lot of people comment AS they are watching. Devacurl is fucking terrible and thank god people mention that in the comments instead of just assuming everyone will watch for a full 25 minutes before they get a disclaimer in the video. It’s pretty irresponsible to leave this in without adding a disclaimer in the beginning that she DOES NOT RECOMMEND DEVACURL TO ANYONE. I’d even blur out the name just to be sure no one saw me holding that product and got inspired to purchase it straight away....
I think your frustration with the frizz is just damaged hair that won’t revert- you’ll just have to let it grow out. And maybe implement silicones back into your routine, but sparingly
limergreenlover Yea she definitely has heat damage. I think she said she’s been straightening it for years plus 😹 I don’t even think those waves are her real texture due to her constant heat use. Idk like you said she needs to grow it outtt 30 days of a routine will not show drastic changes
Not necessarily. I mean, I’m sure she has some heat damage, but my hair personally gets very frizzy no matter what I do, and I hardly ever use heat on it. So it could just be the texture of the hair, But like you said, she needs to grow it out and see.
Eden Davida yeah I never really use heat in my hair and it usually ends up frizzy it’s just hair texture
I have a lot of frizz with curls and dont use heat on my hair at all anymore, it's been about 5 years. I only wash once a week because otherwise it's worse. Some people just have more frizz.
@@skylardaniels3791 It can also be the products people use. Like I just used a new spray on my hair for frizz and the last time I used it. It made my hair frizzy and it did this time as well. Which is why I'll probably go back to other stuff.
I really really recommend using more gel and scrunching in the gel while it’s a lot more wet. I know it seems scarier than creams but it’ll definitely give you much more curl definition
this is what i do. Minimal drying when im out of the shower. Turn my hair over and scrunch in lots of gel. Works every time! Surprisingly i use the diva curl brand gel and never leaves it with nasty crunchies.
Yes! Gotta make a gel cast, I was scared of that 90s crunchy curl, but just look up “gel cast” and “scrunch out the crunch”. You end up with soft beautifully defined curls and waves!
Do you know what the best way is to use gel? I have thick curly hair and I use curl cream and leave in conditioner which I love but when I try to put gel in my hair when it’s damp out the shower I can never scrunch it out the next day so I get clumps of sticky hair or white residue from the gel even if I just use a small amount
CatEyes1993 her order of operations is incorrect as well, as in the order in which she applies products. I’ve been on my CG journey now for 3+ years. It takes time and experimentation to get your products and methods correct for your hair.
cobaltmarin hmm it might depend what gel you’re using, I’ve also never personally tried scrunching out the crunch the day after I wash it. I always wash and apply gel in the morning and scrunch out the crunch the same day. Sorry if that doesn’t help you but if you go to the curly girl subreddit there are soo many experienced people who would be able to give you advice!
As someone who has been thinking about trying out the curly girl method, I would love to see an updated routine!
Yes please
same!
Yes please I’m also thinking of trying it
please don't use the deva curl products
th-cam.com/video/uKrJLpDs4UQ/w-d-xo.html she posted an update!
I personally think that was way too many products. You shouldn't have to "wash" your hair daily if it's curly.
its product build up from not using any actual cleaning agents lmaoooo.
Yeah deep conditioner, hair cream, gel, mousse. She had like 5 products in at once! That and showering daily can’t be good for your hair...
It’s not washing your hair daily, you wet the hair to bring out the curl and rinse out the old product
Not everyone can refresh. My hair looks like crap if I refresh. So I cowash daily if needed.
My tip is to try a denman brush! It’s a total frizz buster.
How many of us liters flinched when she held up that devacurl shampoo
Haha mee mee!!
Ahhh I’ve been waiting for this 😻 so excited for you!! This looks beautiful. After only 30 days your transformation is amazing. You looks beautiful with your hair both ways, but I LOVE the waves on you. Keep crushing it wavy Queen 👑
Hi India! ☺
I would love to see both yall in a video! You should totally collab!
Ahhhh it’s India🥰🥰 I love your videos and you helped me soooo much on my hair journey❤️❤️❤️
Hiiii
I cringed everytime she said “devacurl” 😆
Btw; you still have frizz bc your hair still has heat damage. Once your hair is fully transitioned, there will be less frizz. Ergo, why you mentioned in the beginning how this process usually takes years. Personally, my transitioning stage took a solid year and that was with ten years worth of heat damage.
This method takes A LOT of patience. It’s all about the method you do it and switching it up until it works for you. Good luck wavy!!!! 🥰
Pls no deva curl. This is the worst ever
This was before that video about devacurl
Wait what's wrong with Deva curl? I don't use it but have seen it a lot.
Shelby McL it does long term damage download “think dirty” and look up the deva curl products. They are bad.
@@NessaNCheese1 wow that's crazy, I had thought about buying it but I guess not now lol
@@yesshelves she talks about it... In the video
Frizz is just part of having curly hair 🤷🏻♀️ especially after a few days . It’s okay though . Just embrace it ! I use Shea moisture oil to help with shine and helps the frizz a bit
With all the controversy with DevaCurl I would not recommend using it! Shae moisture and Cantu have some great products to substitute any DevaCurl products!
*Watch till the end! She goes over this!*
Btw, I love using Renpure Originals for Shampoo and Conditioner!
Veronica Lopez most of Shae’s products aren’t silicone free, so they could coat the hair with a shine but then dries it out.
What's wrong with devacurl? I haven't heard of it nor the controversy, but am looking to get my waves back
MyChannel true! But they have some silicone free products too, plus if you do cleanses at least once a week, it shouldn’t be a problem. The process to finding what works with your hair is a long journey...trust me!
Veggie Bee look up some of the you tubers she mentioned, they have videos all about it! Good luck on your curly hair journey!
Veggie Bee dr dray just uploaded a video about it
I have curly hair too and my hair gets like that where the top layer looks flat.
So what I learn is I part my hair the opposite way I usually part it, let my hair air dry and once is dry I part my hair again the way I usually do and it's super pretty, very curly and looks healthier. Everytime I do that people always compliment my hair.
Stephanie Montoya
Great idea!
your hair looks like it's wavy, but you also said you've been damaging it a lot throughout the years so it might start to get curlier as it heals (give it like 2-3 more months!)
stephanie santos 2-3 years
@@lizaramirez-garcia5944 for it to fully heal yes, but within the first couple months of cgm my hair changed a lot for the better
My ringlet curls when I was a child I thought were gone ... nope I slowly stopped using crap products and started chopping my hair and it's super tight ringlets now! I absolutely looove it!!! Chopping my hair did the most in revitalizing my curls:)
Frizz free is a myth, imo. There can a minimal amount of frizz, if you find the right routine. But there is always gonna be some kind of frizz.
I live in the PNW, I have embraced my constant baby hair halo, and I'm only at 2b
Frizz free is achievable, it’s just expensive as hell and time consuming. I have zero frizz, but I also get treatments at the salon at least once and month and it takes hours.
idk i have super curly hair and no frizz. my secret is using a straight hair keratin shampoo and conditioner. i think theres a lot of curly girls out there that get really good curls without frizz. I think it just depends on your hair
My hair always has a little frizz and when she said that it kind of made me frustrated. Curly hair is not frizz free unless you really want to put some money into it..
@@candidulce0714 i can tell you the products i use to eliminate frizz!! they're all actually really cheap brands and they work wonders
Who else panicked thinking she was about to "yeet" her straightener? 😂
I wanted to see tbh 😂
I absolutely love the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk products they’re AMAZING. Nothing has ever curled my hair so well
Hi Sierra, my mom transitioned a few years ago and what I noticed is that at the beginning she had to help her hair with rollers, curlers, wave formers (whatever you want to call them) like you did a few days. She will used different sizes to get loser or thighter curls. This helped her hair get used to curling again, since it had been obligated to be straight for years. It's definitely a journey and needs lots of trial and error, but if you stick to it, you will get there. Much love from one curly girl to another.
Omg the entire time, I was thinking "she just needs to flip upside down and use a strong hold gel and it won't be frizzy" lmao. Love it, looks great Sierra!
Yes! Watching people try to diffuse while looking forward stresses me out!
Hi what gel do you use?
@@EmilyAnna0912 I've used a bunch but the Tresseme's strongest hold is the one that I've been using for years now. Tresseme also has a "flawless curls" mouse that I love. Those are the only 2 products I use.
Mara Van Alphen okay! I always use the flawless curls mousse but never tried the gel before! Thank you!
Mara Van Alphen okay! I always use the flawless curls mousse but never tried the gel before! Thank you!
Girl! There is a word for that, your hair is currently “wurly” - a mix of curly and wavy ;) and as you progress in your hair routine journey, it will probably change again :)
I loved this video! My hair looks SO similar to yours, this was so helpful to me! I am also so glad to know you’ve stopped using the DevaCurl... PLEASE do an updated hair care routine video with new products! You’re hair looks so incredible, I’m glad you’re happy with your natural hair now! 😊
This makes me so happy. Glad you’re representing your natural hair!
I think your hair is curly but it's like at a wavy stage and could potentially get curlier. Specially since some of the pieces in your hair are literal spirals.
Just wait till she gives birth! Hair can change DRASTICALLY for some women.
Savannah Tatianna some, not most 🙄
Savannah Tatianna Thats true! Ever since I had my 3 kids, my hair no longer will straighten much and actually got wavier and thicker
Chrissy Lanham hence the word SOME 😉
She's pregnant?
When you use the diffuser, keep the dryer off until it is at your scalp, blast the air for a bit, then turn it back off when you pull it away from your hair - that minimizes frizz from the dryer.
Pixie diffusing method is my go too when letting my hair go back to curly.
I wish I'd read this an hour ago 🤣 first time using a diffuser and, uh... 😅🥴
Your curly hair is SO beautiful, and flatters you perfectly. I love it!
Girl, I just stumbled on this video, but as a fellow wavy-curly girl I'm so proud of you!!! It is so hard figuring out the best styling techniques and products, but in the end it is all worth it--and I am so excited for you because I can tell that once all your heat damage is grown out and healed, your hair will be so beautifully curly and shiny!! And the frizz does get better as the health of your hair improves. Hair masks and leave-ins are your friends :)
There is an app called Think Dirty that rates the how “clean”’ products are. You should check it out when trying something new. DevaCurl does have a really bad rating on there.
I just found this app yesterday, I was so excited!!!
Totally get everyone criticizing devcurl for it’s rating, but why is no one going after all of the other brands that have equally bad ratings? Just curious of people’s opinions!
@@maecoker4321 I would say that it's not just the ratings. Products on that app can get red ratings just for having fragrance and a couple other dubious, but not necessarily harmful ingredients. In the case of Devacurl, it's that there have been many reported cases of actual hair and scalp damage, not just the possibility of it.
@Mae Coker Because people have filed actual law suits against DevaCurl because it made their hair fall out and caused scalp irritation. Other brands might have bad ratings for using harsh chemicals, but DevaCurl is actually physically harming people.
If only they had more products on there
Hi there! Your curls look great. As a professional stylist I'd HIGHLY recommend adding more layers in your hair cut. It would definitely help bounce the front and top layer!!!
This makes me excited. I’m just starting embracing my curly hair after years (yeah years!) of abuse. I hope my curl pattern comes back and is this beautiful!
i *love* your hair in its natural form, it looks so cute on you!! i’m so glad you decided to try it out and share it with us all!! thank you💗
You look so much like your Mom when she was younger!!!!!!
You look so cute with your natural hair ❤
I legit thought that the picture of Sierra’s mom was of her for a second
She looks exactly like her mom!!!
this video is so cool! Started following the CG method about a year ago and i had a hard time finding someone with my wave type and there you were under my nose as a not hair related channel x) You may have just started but you gave me a few good tips right there!
Hey girl, my advice for you is stop caring about frizz, you are always going to have frizz as a wavy hair girl , when I begin my journey I was obsessed with having super defined and not frizzi waves , but with the pass of the time,I realized that my hair is beautiful puffy and frizzi just as it is. I encourage you to do the same!!
Needed this 😭
Exactly, the trade off with frizz is i get a little more volume :)
And why is your hair straightened in your profile? 🤨
@@calvoekleiden8664 because I wanted to have it straight that day 😂😂😂
@@mariapardo1722 lol I was joking I didn’t think you’d reply to this 😭😭 it looked great sister 💅
When you finally learned to rake and then scrunch, I got so excited for you! That was the turning point for me as well!
As a person with naturally straight hair I don’t understand why people straighten it. I think natural curls are gorgeous and elegant.
Cos to be honest, curly hair require effort to look gud, where straight hair looks gud no matter what you look decent compared to curly hair
It's nice to change it up sometimes and straighten it. I have 3c curls and they are such a pain sometimes. Nice to have a little break lol
I have extremely wavy hair and it looks horrible. The waves and curves are all different sizes and especially the front always looks like they got dents in them, so it just looks messy and doesn't frame the face very well. Straightening it looks so much better.
For me I know that the culture I grew up in did not embrace natural curls. Both the American culture I grew up in and the Indian culture that glorified straight hair. I didn’t even know how to care for my hair until I found the cgm. I would say I spend a lot less time on my hair now vs when I tried to straighten it always. Idk. This was my experience at least.
You always want what you don't have.
im so excited to see you embracing your wavy curly hair! I honestly love it its sooo unique !!
I’d love to see an updated video in another month or so and with the new products and whatnot to see how your hair continues to change!
Hey girl, don’t forget- when you go to get your hair cut or trimmed to look for someone who is experienced with curls/waves. Hair is cut differently in that instance!
Love your channel!
Caty Boylan ? She got a curly girl cut in this video
Love your hair.
Just remember that when you straighten it, you make sure that you or whoever is doing it always, ALWAYS uses a heat protectant. And actually, using a little silicone during the straightening process is not a bad thing because it will provide a coating over your strands while it is straight, thus protecting it and making sure it doesn't frizz. Just make sure to do a clarifying wash when you go back to your natural hair.
Also, get a Denman brush or a Felicia Leatherwood detangler brush to help clump your curls. They are made for thick hair.
i love love love how you always bring up controversy! you are truly using your platform to speak up !
The first few seconds with the pictures and the storytelling is just adorable, I really liked it 🤩🤩🤩
I'm cringing at that DevaCurl products at the beginning, but I have FAITH in you that you figured it all out by day 30. lol Onward with the video..... YES!! At day 18 when you started the raking method and gel casting!!! Love the Not Your Mothers line. I don't plop at all. I find I lose curl definition and get frizz every time I try to plop. It has been amazing to watch your 30 day transformation and see just how beautiful your curls are getting.
Not your mothers curl line has saved me!
@@mariefalzoine4873 Isn't it great?!?!
Jessica Lee ive seen a lot about devacurl, what’s up with it??
Shea moisture is great to use as well! It’s the only product that actually works for my curls.
𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢 their products have destroyed a lot of ppl’s curls! I’ve heard before the company sold a few years ago the products were great but since then they’ve changed... just another greedy company trying to cut costs but seriously some ppl have had serious damage from them
This may sound weird, but I think your natural curls really bring out your eyes!
You are just such a beautiful person, and your natural hair with the curls coming out is gorgeous!
Please do an updated hair care routine!! I’ve been wanting to start the CGM, and am totally inspired to after this video!! 💕💕
When Sierra went on a rant about not knowing how to classify her hair I FELT THAT. I have the same hair texture and I literally don't know if it's wavy or curly. Many people i know say it's curly, but others say it's really wavy. Idk anymore man
Same! I have literal ringlets and people still say my hair is 'wavy'. Its impossible
You naturally can have different hair textures. I would suggest trying a wavy routine for a week or two then try a curly one. You can take what you learned from them and create your own routine for your hair.
We call it "Wurly"
it’s definitely 2b 2c hair, not many ringlets, but pretty defined waves, i have 2c 3a & some 3b hair, and i can definitely tell what part of my hair is wavy and what is curly, so i’d call it wavy, maybe people call it curly bc compared to pin straight hair it’s pretty textured, but curls are tight rings and waves are S shaped
One time my friend was genuinely confused and asked "is your hair curly or what?? I cant tell" lol
This has made me rethink wearing natural hair, natural hair still takes care but is about how to bring out the best in your natural style. I honestly thought natural hair was just doing nothing. lol
I think everyone thinks that! I always thought natural hair was effortless too, but thats people making it look easy to obtain. It took me a couple of months to figure out my method but I've got it down to 5 mins of work and I'm done
You have no idea how many people say “you must love having curly hair, you don’t have to do anything to it!” And how many curly girls are holding back their eye rolls. It’s a lot of work but worth it and once you figure out what works you can make your routines quicker and easier.
I lost my curls after one year, literally 12 months, of beaching. I got my whole head fully bleached 2 times and the roots touched up 2-3 times (I wear a pixie cut). Now that I've stopped bleaching and growing out my natural color again I can see my roots curling up on their own and the ends are dry and only kind of wavy. I don't think I will ever go back to bleaching my hair. It was just a phase, I wanted to try bright fun colors. Now it's out of my system and I am ready to go back to my natural hair.
All this to say that if you also stop lightening your hair it will help a lot with getting your curls/waves back. I strongly advice you at least consider this as an option, even just to see what your natural hair really looks like all grown out while using the curly girl method.
I also always used to blow dry and flat iron my hair for years. A couple of years ago I got fed up with it and just let it do it's thing and I do really love my curls now. It's a lot less maintenance and was a lot easier for me because I do wear it short. It's totally worth it.
Your hair looks so beautiful natural 😍✨
as a curly girl for about 2 weeks now i’m living for your results. :)
I think this was one of my favorite videos who’ve ever done. I have very curly Hair and I spent most of my life trying to straighten it and within the last year to two I’ve just been letting it go curly and I love it and this gave me some really good tips on how to take care of my curly hair
My hair is coming back in curly after it fell out from cancer treatments. I had pretty straight hair before, so I have no ideal what to do
A gal I went to high school with got cancer, did chemo, hair fell out, all that. Before she had very thin, straight as a board hair. And now her hair is so thick and so curly. Very pretty though. Good luck figuring out the curly hair! And congrats for making it through all the treatments. :)

So happy for you that you are finished with cancer treatments and that you get to explore and experience curly hair! ♥️♥️♥️
The same thing happened to my nana she was so confused at what to do. Wish you health and happiness ❤️
Congratulations 💛
i’m 16 now and realizing i’m ruining my curls. i needed this video
Your after pic looks great! I’m 3 months into my transition and it’s getting much easier with better results. I’m liking my hair more than I ever have!
When you diffuse, you should turn off the hair dryer when you move between sections! It helps to reduce the frizz
Apple cider vinegar rinse is another thing that can help with frizz, works for me! Your hair looks super great with its natural curl! Love the look❤️
Yes! Apple cider vinegar rinse does the job.
madhurima @swavycurlycourtney is a great resource for this!! she has a good video on ACV rinses
curly hair doesn't cooperate even if it's not damaged, don't stress too much about it
Yessss I’ve been hoping you’d do this! What a HUGE transformation!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!! On all your other vids you were talking about like "don't mind my hair I'm doing the curly girl method for 30 days" and I would get so freaking excited for this video every time you would say something that that🤪♥️
Your “before hair” is like the perfect, natural beach waves that people strive to get. I feel like all you need a bit of hair oil and you’d literally have dream hair! If I had that hair naturally I’d wear it like that everyday and skip the hair gel, creams etc. #hairgoals
And yes I realise that it’s subjective and you probably don’t feel the same way 😂❤️
Yes to the new routine and products!
Yes please do an updated routine video!! I've been trying the CG Method for a few years and still have trouble finding the right products, but i felt like i could connect to your journey and i'd love to see what other products you like to use!
Watching your vlogs made me realize that my hair that i thought just had giant random waves in it is actually really wavy (2b, i’ve learned!). I always hated my hair but now that i understand it’s texture i’ve started the curly girl method and i’m really liking my hair for the first time in my life!
'It all started when my mom met my dad'
Beginning reminded me of that.
I LOVE your natural hair ☺️💕 it kinda reminds me of the curly hair phase in the 90's especially in 90's movies! It's totally coming back and it's much healthier for your hair and scalp and allows you to put proper care and time into your hai💕 I hope you continue your natural hair journey and continue to grow in confidence with your natural hair ☺️💕✌🏽
I was screaming about Devacurl and then you talked about it at the end blessssss
Tip I wish i had when I got started: Don't worry about frizz. Its gonna happen more or less so save your sanity and time. Also expect it to change as it grows out and not get hung up on products and have fun with it while its transitioning.
P.S. Your hair is growing out so nicely ! your root is so shiny and so curly and even your original straight damaged pieces look cute and healthy!!! please keep updating your journey!
Wow, I’m so impressed with the final transformation! This makes me want to give the Curly Girl Method a shot and see if I can define my natural curl.
Loved the editing on this video! Thank you for posting.
Glad to see others trying this. I've been curly girl for about 5 years and it has done amazing things for my hair. I use Shea moisture, As I Am and Maui Moisture products all the time and they did wonders for my curls. Also glad to see you aren't using Deva Curl. My hair had started coming out in huge chunks for a while on Deva curl dispite using their products for years.
So happy that you addressed all the deva curl drama! Love you💕
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO OMG. I’ve been wanting to start this method too
I would love to see you do a video on formal curly girl hairstyles! Most people think straightened hair = elegant and dressy but curly/coily/wavy hair can be formal too!
In highschool I went natural and decided that for all my school dances and then years later when in each of my 3 of older brothers' weddings I'd do formal natural styles to raise awareness! I'd love to hear your thoughts and see what you come up with using little to preferably no heat! 💕
Loving the summer pallet wardrobe behind you! Watched your color analysis video the other day too so I’m happy to see you now have the summer clothes behind you
yesss!!!! been waiting so long for this one!!
My tips from doing CG for about a year and a half: I like to do every step of my washday upside down, until I microplop. So washing, conditioning and styling upside down. I like combing conditioner through to get my hair silky, then squish to condish. Instead of raking stylers, check out the roping method to apply, then scrunch some more, and add water (a spray bottle will do wonders, your hair should still be dripping wet as you style it). If you want to plop, which you probably don't because your hair curl pattern isn't tight, don't twist your towel/t-shirt - it stretches your hair. Check out microplopping instead, aka just scrunching out the water with a t-shirt (I do this after finally flipping my head upright and gently shaking out the curls while my hair is still very wet to make sure the back is not weird). I do use gel again after microplopping, because getting a cast is the best way to ensure my hair doesn't get frizzy. And no touching your hair until it's dry - breaking the cast early will lead to frizz. Hope you keep at it, and if I've learned anything from the Deva debacle, is you should listen to your scalp more than your hair, and use clarifying/regular shampoo somewhat regularly because cowashing doesn't work for everyone (I have an oily scalp and trying to make cowashing work for me was the biggest mistake of my CG journey). Sorry for the long comment, hopefully some of it will be helpful.
I love how your hair looks in its natural state. I'm planning on doing the cg method in the summer. I enjoyed this video :)
Full Hermione transformation! Looks amazing, I will definitely try this on my curls, which have been straightened to within an inch of their life for years...x
It’s not the heat that’s relaxed and frizzed your curl, it is the beaching of the highlights.
Both damages hair and it's even worse when you do them at the same time 😭
It would be both, actually!
chastidy wiley heat is not bad if in moderation.
@@unprofessionallypolished right! Same as highlights. When someone goes over board and doesn't use protection damage happens from both heat and bleach.
30:11 she talks about deva curl
Love it! It took me a long time of experimenting before I found the right combo for my curls. Good luck on your journey and figuring out what works best for you!
so happy you kept going with it
