I'm glad I could help ! I know it is so frustrating to hear :( Just because someone's hair texture is different doesn't mean it's unhealthy !!! I have struggled my whole life with different stylists/hairdressers I ultimately just learned to do everything on my own
Hannah Elise same ,,, ive literally only met 2 hair stylist that actually understands my hair and how to properly style it,,, btw I’m a new subscriber love your content
I really thought I was the only one with an abnormal amount of hair, what a relief! So thank you for the tips! My hair literally looks fried every time I take a shower, but it’s healthy and I have no split ends at all! What I hate about my thick, coarse, wavy hair is that it manages to look like hot wheels tracks/ramps at the ends and it goes in every direction 😤
I have exactly same hair!! I used to flat iron it too, but it's not possible with a baby. One thing I realized is that if I make a bun in damp hair, i get nice waves in the morning. So you can try some heatless overnight curls, but you will have to make multiple sections just like four ironing. Also with our hair it is best not to brush it. The more you brush the frizzier it gets. Just use a wide tooth comb.
I love how we're all in the comments having the same semi-religious experience because we NEVER see hair like ours unless it's already styled. Also, I saw the coconut milk and jasmine shampoo and conditioner at Target the last time I was there, so I do think they're still making it!
Seriously haha 😂 !! I love it too 🌿💛 and that's great ! I've only seen it in places like groceries/pharmacies and didn't see it online so I wasn't sure that they were making it anymore 🤍
my hair is exactly the same! I want to try to find a way to style it without heat as well. however, styling with a straightener is the only way that gives me confidence but I hate how much hair I lose when I straighten/ style with heat. Also, I hate when TH-camrs complain their hair is "frizzy" when its just wavy. your video is way more realistic so thank you!!!
You are so welcome I'm glad you enjoyed my video :) !! I've heard many things about the "curly girl method" and I plan to try it myself very soon. Maybe something like that would work for your hair ? Definitely check it out !
Because you seem to have the same hair type as me, some advice🌻 heat does not exactly damage the hair but it makes it prone to drying it out more, and for this kind of frizz u dont want more dryness! You can easily straighten/style your hair this same way with less damage by first, wetting your hair, conditioning, adding a dime size amount of conditioner to your ends (i recommend Garnier Fructis Unmanagable for Frizz) throw up in a towel for 10 minutes to soak up the water+conditioner, brushing, then using a medium heat/cool blow dryer and round brush to Brazilian blowout the locks straight. THEN straightening with a straightener if you have to. The reason this damages less is because if the hair soaks up the conditioner and water, it will be MUCH less frizzy+dry and retain the style better. 💜
I have this hair type, I would recommend that you dont brush it. I stopped brushing mine and now only use wide tooth combs when I shower. It's changed my hair routine completely.

when i was younger i had thin straight hair and around the time i started middle school my hair got thick and frizzy. exactly like yours. idk what to do with it anymore

I have hair just like yours. People can’t understand thickness like this and always say it’s a blessing. It’s not! While pregnant it was twice as thick!
Absolutely makes me so happy to see others with a thick/large amount of a lions mane for hair. My only problem is I can't curl mine without looking like a curly lion because there is sooooooo much hair... Straight or straight and pulled back is the only way :(
Girl I completely relate to this. Everyone constantly thinks my hair is damaged and frizzy. But honestly its like freaking horse hair and always has been since birth.
Haha I completely agree my hair is naturally frizzy! Having kids meant my hair doesn’t get washed in like 4 days. I got told off by the hairdresser last year for washing my hair too often and using heat. The look of regret and embarrassment on her face when I told her in front of everyone in the room that I hadn’t washed my hair in 5 days and never use heat... priceless 😂🤷🏻♀️ thanks for making this video !! Xx
I never thought I would see a person's hair like mine!!!!!!! I'm so stoked lmao I love mine too because it's usually really pretty when styled but frizzy fluff is what I have too!! I have to be careful how I style my hair, especially with volumizing stuff because it makes my already big hair abnormally large and I feel like I have a tiny head 😂
I’ve always had trouble with my hair. I really love the way you curled it with the straightener. I just leave mine straight and I’m so tired of it. So thank you
"First, I look at it in the mirror and I think, 'Holy crap. Your hair is so big, Hannah.'" 😆😆 That made laugh out loud. I have the same kind of hair. Relieved I found your channel 😊
Okay, girl... You're gorgeous. And I feel you because I'm Russian and have some of the coarsest hair of anyone I know. 😫 Thank you for being yourself with us! You've got yourself a new sub. 💕 P.S. A little list of why I'm thankful for my big, thick, coarse hair 😍🙃❤ 1. Only have to wash 1-2x per week (fine girls cannot) 2. Hard to get greasy and hair will hold a lot of product! 3. Hold a curl for days! 😍😍😍 4. I'll never go bald and if I do lose hair, there will be plenty left over 😂 3. Volume by nature, so I can skip all the thickeners 😉 4. Once styled, we are sleek, thick goddesses who can take on any challenge that faces us 😘 Seriously, please read this to yourself if you've ever struggled with being content with your hair type (that so many people don't understand). You're blessed with what God gave you ladies and gents. ❤
Dutch braids and twisting your hair after a shower(leave in over night or I have to leave mine in for like a day and a half for it to dry) ! Omg it saved my lifeeee. I have super long, super frizzy and dry hair. Always been that way. I learned how to braid and would take them out the next day and it looks amazing! This is such a nice and no heat way to have even curls.
Coming back to this video 3 years later. I found out my hair wasn’t actually horribly frizzy, it was just very very wavy. I’m glad I figured it out and I’m very happy now.
One tip I’ve always found works for me, my hair is very similar to yours but quite long to, if you want to wear you hair more naturally without having to straighten all the time it control the frizz. I put my hair in a plait/braid over night after brushing it out, then in the morning I just brush out anything in needs as little as possible and it just seems to control the frizz a little bit and keeps strands together rather than become a mess. Sometimes if I have my hair down it gets bigger and bigger and I’ll stick it in a plait for half an hour and it calms it down!
I haven’t watched any updated video and this is the first one I’ve seen. I have similar hair and what’s worked for me is 1) stop using heat 2) retrain your hair by doing my holy grail… double rope braids from the top. It’s saved my hair. Made it healthy and now I can comfortably say… we have wavy hair.
I have the EXACT same hair. Like it's CRAZY how it's the same. It's nice to see I'm not alone. I've always been told my hair is fried or dry, but it's just my hair, since I was a kid! My husband calls it the lion's mane. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!! I also have coarse, wavy, frizzy unruly hair that never likes to behave. Mine gets so bad that if i try to put it in a pony tail and smooth it down really good, I get these little hairs that pop up randomly that look like something inappropriate to mention!! So, don't feel bad, someones always got it worse, lol. No matter how much hair spray I use or product, but this vid actually made me feel better about my hair, and not so alone in the crazy hair department, just bought a new straightener and going to go try this out! Thank you, your hair is beautiful by the way!
Oh girl it's okay !! I'm 27 😂 it takes time to learn and a lot of people would still tell me today that how I style my hair is terrible. Just do your best and keep learning, you'll get it down :)
I'm 58. thick, big, course hair. I still cant seem to find a great look, style, or way to tame the mane. its a learning and growing process, though. meh.
Zinc has helped my thick frizzy curly hair a lot. Even my hair dresser was surprised to see the difference. Hope it helps. Also thx for making this video
I'm 50 this year. This is the first time a thick hair video comes close to my hair! I rarely use heat on mine, and a wide tooth comb. I just leave it natural now.
Thank you for sharing this video. I never thought I would come across a video of someone with the same hair I have. Nobody understands how difficult it could be to style this type of hair or fine the right product to work. I always get asked why do I have to have my hair straightener that hot, it's the only way it'll last.
Omg girl!! You should see my hair, it is, I’m not even lying, WAY more frizzy and thick than that! I hate my hair! It’s like so thick!!!!!!! Thx for the video, this has really been helping a lil w/ my insanely huge hair, 😂 it’s bigger that Annie’s hair off the movie Annie!! 😂
This is exactly what my hair looks like! I'm the queen of twisting and clipping. I find it so hard to have my hair look good for an entire day, or I just get hot & bothered by it being on my neck. I am oddly excited to find other people with my hair type!! By the way, you are so pretty despite the lion's mane. I love the fact that you pointed out the hives on your arm too. The struggle is real.
Thank you for this video. I have the exact same hair type. Thick, coarse, rough, CRAZY hair. 😣 the finished look was amazing. The only good thing about having coarse hair is the curls last a long time! Very helpful video!
I'm so glad you liked it 🥰🥰 thank you !! And I 100% agree I hardly ever need any hairspray and they last for days. And on top of that we will never go bald ! (Hopefully lol)
I literally died watching this video! 💀💀 Gurl! I feel the struggle! I refer to my hair as my mane all the time! I felt as though I was going to have to just chop it off but I always get so depressed after cutting my hair. Heat is the way to go! I feel you! Thanks for the tips and tricks! Glad I'm the not the only one with a thick ass mop on my head haha
Omg I am so glad to see this! Your hair looks exactly like mine except maybe I have like 50% more and it’s bright orange (even at my advanced age). And it’s always been that way. I always feel like I’m brushing out a golden retriever with a bad layer cut on daily. My sis is the same and we have big hair contests all the time. It get huger and frizzier just running your fingers through. It gets natural dreadlocks in a heartbeat. Hairdressers do tend to tell you your hair is fried but they also are always like you’re so lucky to have so much. I’m always like ok you gonna come over and brush it all out every day then?
oh my gosh you are blessed to have such a beautiful hair color ! 🧡 People have always told me it must be nice to have such thick hair LOL wouldn't it be nice to have a personal hair stylist every day
i don’t know how i did not see this when i searched up how to style thick frizzy hair 💔 but i’m so glad i found this, this time! i don’t ever straighten my hair since it was so long and it looked decent yet so frizzy but now its very short and looks like a horrible mess
Ahh great video! If only hair straighteners were around when I was your age. I spent my entire youth having to go through life with my huge puffy frizzy hair. Thankfully it was the 80’s so big hair was in style! These days I do the same as you, twice a week an hour out of my day to wash dry and style it. On the days I can’t be bothered I wash it dry it and tie it up in a huge messy bun on the top of my head - the volume works !
I recently invested in a Revlon styler (blow dry hairbrush?) And it is a game changer if you're looking to straighten your hair !! I highly recommend it ❤️❤️
Looks great! This is my hair too! Not curly, not straight. Too coarse and not curly enough for curly method. Now I’m growing out grey and those become like wires. I think rollers could work but take a long time to dry. Fun facts - People ask you “is that all your hair” lol - when you curl it that sh*t stays all day
Love, you should really try the curly girl method. You don’t have to follow the product ingredients, but the rest I’d recommend. My hair used to be exactly like that but now I have beautiful little ringlets all over with proper maintenance. :)
Yes !! I follow the cgm now and have been for a couple months 🥰 I actually posted a video about my first time trying it a few months ago and my hair is absolutely loving it !
My hair is the same and I used to style it the exact same way, but I found a great new method! My hair has low porosity (can't absorb moisture well) which explains the frizz. A clarifying shampoo with apple cider vinegar helps open up the cuticles to absorb lots of water and now I don't need to straighten it at all. Give it a try!
I just want you to know you could have been describing my hair exactly and you are not alone! Even though it’s always felt lonely hair wise...nothing ever seems to work.
My hair is very similar. I struggle finding products that work. Biosilk had been around FOREVER but works great! Thank goodness for flat irons!!! In middle school I would use hot rollers to help tame my hair into some sort of smooth style lol.
It has been around forever you're right ! I actually found out about it through my friend's mother :) it's crazy to me how many people have similar hair to mine ! I'm just glad we are not alone 💕
I’m here a whole year later! Lol I’m so glad to see someone with literally the exact same hair! I’ve been battling with it lately. After 30 years of living with it, I finally am here today YouTubing it 😂 can’t believe I didn’t do this before! Thank you for this video!
Oh my gosh !! This video is actually about two years old 😳💜 thank you for being here ! I have made other hair videos on how I style my hair naturally since this one and my hair has changed dramatically !
I didn’t think anyone had worse hair than me. Grateful for my horrible hair after seeing yours. Thank you for helping me feel better. Use your hair creatively and let it be a signature. You’re lucky it lays flat well. It’s only a lions mane below your ears.
I feel you when you say you shouldn't be embarrassed of who you are.. My hair is like yours. I didn't like going to hairdressers for haircuts because every time they would they could not cut my hair in a way it would look good, and then complain that it's my hair's fault since its frizzy and dry.. and then start promoting their services like keratins, spa, straightening, saying that it would make my hair great. I have always tied my hair till college. Then finally I realized I am not much bothered about how my hair is but rather how people keep on saying my hair is, then I learnt the art of not giving a ahem, and keep my hair however I want to..
I love this so much 💕 more of us need to learn to not give an *ahem* ! Especially when it comes to something that is natural and beautiful in its own way 😊
Your hair looks fabulous once you style it. I have the same type of hair, not nearly as thick. I refuse to use silicones, sulphates and heat (except once in a great blue moon - maybe once to twice a year). I love coconut oil and am now trying it mixed with aloe vera gel. It always takes my hair time to adjust before I can make a decision whether it works for me or not. Thanks for your video. Will check into the products you mentioned.
Finally a video on my hair type!!!! I hate constantly putting it in a messy bun but I hate using heat tools especially in the summer but heat tools are the only frickin way to style it 💀
Thank you ! 💜 As you can see by the comments you are very much so not alone in the struggle to style your hair, I definitely recommend checking out the Revlon onestyler (?) I believe that's what it's called. I usually use that now when I style my hair with heat and it's been a life saver !
WOW. This is my hair to a T. I usually just wear it in a bun bc I can’t deal with it. Mine’s flat and not voluminous on the top. Thin. Frizzyville everywhere. And stick outs wonky like tf?? It used to have a nice curl before I damaged it years ago. It’s never been the same and this is what I’m dealing with. Thank you soooo much for posting this. It’s silly but it’s always been a huge insecurity for me. You’re awesome!
Also, loved the video where you did the cgm. I noticed every video out there is kind of different and everyone has their own take. Since my hair is a lot like yours just thin, what’re the most important changes you made? I’m not trying to spend tooo much money :) I work out every day so I don’t wanna do all this hard work just to throw it in a bun 😂 thank youuu!!!
You are so sweet 😭💕 thank you for watching !! I totally understand the insecurity thing and since I've been trying the cgm I have felt so much better just rocking my natural hair even though it looks CRAZY sometimes 😂
I would say the biggest changes I've made is extreme hydration !! Allll the hydration for my hair (conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in, etc) and then not brushing or styling (I brush mine through in the shower to get rid of any tangles). Since your hair gets oily maybe try a dry shampoo ! I work out 5-7 times a week and I use it afterwards because I don't want to wash my hair everyday and it works for me ☺️☺️
Because you seem to have the same hair type as me, some advice🌻 heat does not exactly damage the hair but it makes it prone to drying it out more, and for this kind of frizz u dont want more dryness!

My hair is very similar and I know I’m late but here goes. After I shower aka when my hair is thoroughly wet, your hair normally gets straight and sleek. I then put it in french braids and let it air dry. If you shower at night it will still look good the next day. And once you take it out you can style it a little bit and you have nice even waves. Ur welcome it’s a life saver.😘
Of course 💕 thank you so much for watching !! I actually have an updated video on how I style my hair naturally here that you might find helpful as well th-cam.com/video/S_XlJLmnCiQ/w-d-xo.html
Your hair is gorgeous! And similar to mine. I highly recommend trying other oils too like grapeseed or baobab oil. Also the TYMO hair comb works wonders!!! The Olaplex oil is great too
This makes sense why mine never looks good just straight.. there is just so much of it!!! I have thinned my own hair out for years and it's about the only way I can get it to look good!
Thank you for watching ! ☺️❤️ I'm glad I could help ! I actually have an updated video on how I style my hair naturally here which could be useful to you as well th-cam.com/video/S_XlJLmnCiQ/w-d-xo.html
I feeeeeeel you. My hair is exactly the same and my hairdresser who does my cuts has told me my hair is healthy asf despite how much I've bleached my hair. I get hate on my hair videos when they are very rarely commented on lol. That's just my hair type.
Hey you should seriously try the Curly Girl method if you haven't! Your hair is likely just curly but hasn't been treated as such, which is why it's so frizzy. Mine is similar and always fluffy/frizzy but when I do a curly girl method my hair is actually wavy!
My name is Hanna too and my hair is exactly like yours! I also live in Colorado where it is DRY! I have a frizz ball of hair as well... I feel your pain.
Hi Hanna you have a great name 😉 hehe I'm glad we are not alone in this struggle! Lately I have been conditioning my hair like crazy and following a curly hairstyling method (no heat) and it has been doing WONDERS for my hair ! Maybe it would work for you as well 😊
I feel you I have had this crazy , ridiculously thick, unmanageable hair my entire life too. Its gets tiring so, up in a pony tail it goes. Which I would love to have a cool, edgy style but, it just never happens the way the pics look. NEVER LMAO
Thanks for sharing. My hair is worse crazy frizzy and so thick, but the revlon 1- step volumizer is a life saver. It does not add volume but calms my hair down. I use it after shower once my hair is 80% dry. Try it!
I am a guy growing out my hair for the first time, and while mine is a bit shorter we have almost the EXACT same hair😅 This video helps so much and i appreciate it😁
I'm so glad I could help you ! ☺️ Thank you for watching ! My number one suggestion is to make sure to moisturize your hair as much as you can 🌿 it will thank you later
OH MY GOSH!!! I FINALLY FOUND SOMEOME WITH NATURAL HAIR THATS LIKE MINE! nobody understands my hair grows this way as well and it sucks. i loved your video and im gonna try those curls next.... this very moment i have a heatless curl headband in, look it up (u said u were looking for heatless options)
💜 I love heatless curls !! They are my go to these days, the Revlon blowout dryer brush is another life saver for me ☺️ I don't style my hair much like this anymore but I promise you're not alone with the crazy natural hair haha
I have the exact same hair 😭 everyone actually says something like you are lucky that you have thick wavy hair , it's beautiful. But fr it's too much trouble to handle this kind of textured hair . Thank youuu for your wonderful tipss 🥲❤️ sometimes it's so annoying when I open it up out of a bun it's doesn't stay good for a long time , it starts to get messful and tangled up 😂 . Thank youuuu ❤️❤️❤️
I have thicker hair and same problem, after all I found Kératine straitener the best treatment to have, keeps it well for a month or two. Thanks for your nice video 😊
Took me 3 hours to straighten my hair the other day! My hair is a confused puffball. Some sections are wavy others are super curly. But yes, i'm glad i won't be bald.
i've never related to a hair care video before sooo much! i have the exact same hair type and have never been able to tame it so i straighten it every day lmao

My struggle too🥺
Tip, stop brushing it while dry!!!
Yup
Might be more the cut than the actual hair I'm finding.
Girl I completely relate to this. Everyone constantly thinks my hair is damaged and frizzy. But honestly its like freaking horse hair and always has been since birth.
EXACTLY
try this out
You may have curly hair
Yup! Same thing I say it’s just like horse hair 😂 but it’s true that’s the way it is 💕
I have the same type of hair.
Straightening it is just a waste of time when as soon as I walk outside it turns into a mane again 😭
Yes! The moment it hits even the smallest amount of humidity I am back to being a puff ball. I totally understand haha

Watching this in 2024, thanks it’s still helping people, thanks for putting this content out there ❤
Okay, girl... You're gorgeous. And I feel you because I'm Russian and have some of the coarsest hair of anyone I know. 😫 Thank you for being yourself with us! You've got yourself a new sub. 💕
P.S. A little list of why I'm thankful for my big, thick, coarse hair 😍🙃❤
1. Only have to wash 1-2x per week (fine girls cannot)
2. Hard to get greasy and hair will hold a lot of product!
3. Hold a curl for days! 😍😍😍
4. I'll never go bald and if I do lose hair, there will be plenty left over 😂
3. Volume by nature, so I can skip all the thickeners 😉
4. Once styled, we are sleek, thick goddesses who can take on any challenge that faces us 😘
Seriously, please read this to yourself if you've ever struggled with being content with your hair type (that so many people don't understand). You're blessed with what God gave you ladies and gents. ❤
This is the sweetest comment 🥰
Same to russian and same to hair!!!!
Dutch braids and twisting your hair after a shower(leave in over night or I have to leave mine in for like a day and a half for it to dry) ! Omg it saved my lifeeee. I have super long, super frizzy and dry hair. Always been that way. I learned how to braid and would take them out the next day and it looks amazing! This is such a nice and no heat way to have even curls.
Thank you so much that sounds lovely !! I'll definitely try it out ☺️ I'm glad you found something that works for you ! 💕
I think that's really the only practical way for us.
Coming back to this video 3 years later. I found out my hair wasn’t actually horribly frizzy, it was just very very wavy. I’m glad I figured it out and I’m very happy now.
Same!
Try the curly girl method pleeease, my hair was exactly like yours, now is curly and soft.
I did ! There is already a video on my channel about it :)
How did you make it curly and soft?
@@flosluna did your hair feel so soft?
@@liamcarey560 so very soft
@@liamcarey560 😂
Omg it makes me so happy to see that I'm not the only one who STRUGGLES with this
You are not alone my friend 💕✨
This has been the most relatable video I’ve watched from TH-cam💯 I never know how to manage my hair! thank you for posting this!
One tip I’ve always found works for me, my hair is very similar to yours but quite long to, if you want to wear you hair more naturally without having to straighten all the time it control the frizz. I put my hair in a plait/braid over night after brushing it out, then in the morning I just brush out anything in needs as little as possible and it just seems to control the frizz a little bit and keeps strands together rather than become a mess. Sometimes if I have my hair down it gets bigger and bigger and I’ll stick it in a plait for half an hour and it calms it down!
thank you !!
Hi Georgia, do you use any products before you put it in the braid? Thanks
I haven’t watched any updated video and this is the first one I’ve seen.
I have similar hair and what’s worked for me is 1) stop using heat 2) retrain your hair by doing my holy grail… double rope braids from the top. It’s saved my hair. Made it healthy and now I can comfortably say… we have wavy hair.
I have the EXACT same hair. Like it's CRAZY how it's the same. It's nice to see I'm not alone. I've always been told my hair is fried or dry, but it's just my hair, since I was a kid! My husband calls it the lion's mane. Thanks for your videos.
finally a video that’s helpful with coarse thick frizz hair. thank you ❤️
You are so welcome, thank you ! 💕
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!! I also have coarse, wavy, frizzy unruly hair that never likes to behave. Mine gets so bad that if i try to put it in a pony tail and smooth it down really good, I get these little hairs that pop up randomly that look like something inappropriate to mention!! So, don't feel bad, someones always got it worse, lol. No matter how much hair spray I use or product, but this vid actually made me feel better about my hair, and not so alone in the crazy hair department, just bought a new straightener and going to go try this out! Thank you, your hair is beautiful by the way!
Oh you are so so welcome love 💜 thank you for sharing your experience !!
Literally same except I’m 18 and still can’t even style my own hair
Oh girl it's okay !! I'm 27 😂 it takes time to learn and a lot of people would still tell me today that how I style my hair is terrible. Just do your best and keep learning, you'll get it down :)
I'm 58. thick, big, course hair. I still cant seem to find a great look, style, or way to tame the mane. its a learning and growing process, though. meh.
I'm 30 and still can't do my own hair. Horrible hairstyles as a kid. Surprised I had friends lol seriously tho 😂
Zinc has helped my thick frizzy curly hair a lot. Even my hair dresser was surprised to see the difference. Hope it helps. Also thx for making this video
That is so interesting ! Do you just take an oral supplement ? Or do you have other ways of getting zinc ? I'd love to hear 💜
I'm 50 this year. This is the first time a thick hair video comes close to my hair! I rarely use heat on mine, and a wide tooth comb. I just leave it natural now.
Thank you for sharing this video. I never thought I would come across a video of someone with the same hair I have. Nobody understands how difficult it could be to style this type of hair or fine the right product to work. I always get asked why do I have to have my hair straightener that hot, it's the only way it'll last.
People really don't understand, but that's okay we just have to figure things out ! Thank you for watching I'm glad you enjoyed my video 💕💕
Oh my gosh, I finally found someone who has hair as thick as mine! :')
You are not alone ☺️🥰
I have never felt so relatable to a youtube video in my life!! Thank you, thank you for this :D
Omg girl!! You should see my hair, it is, I’m not even lying, WAY more frizzy and thick than that! I hate my hair! It’s like so thick!!!!!!! Thx for the video, this has really been helping a lil w/ my insanely huge hair, 😂 it’s bigger that Annie’s hair off the movie Annie!! 😂
You are so welcome I'm glad you liked it 💕 lol I get it girl having crazy hair is a struggle we just have to learn to appreciate it in some ways !
This is exactly what my hair looks like! I'm the queen of twisting and clipping. I find it so hard to have my hair look good for an entire day, or I just get hot & bothered by it being on my neck. I am oddly excited to find other people with my hair type!!
By the way, you are so pretty despite the lion's mane. I love the fact that you pointed out the hives on your arm too. The struggle is real.
Thank you for this video. I have the exact same hair type. Thick, coarse, rough, CRAZY hair. 😣 the finished look was amazing. The only good thing about having coarse hair is the curls last a long time!
Very helpful video!
I'm so glad you liked it 🥰🥰 thank you !! And I 100% agree I hardly ever need any hairspray and they last for days. And on top of that we will never go bald ! (Hopefully lol)
Hannah Elise YES. We’ll still be having locks of frizz at 90 😂
@@allisonbarnett9031 I can live with that 😂💕
I literally died watching this video! 💀💀 Gurl! I feel the struggle! I refer to my hair as my mane all the time! I felt as though I was going to have to just chop it off but I always get so depressed after cutting my hair. Heat is the way to go! I feel you! Thanks for the tips and tricks! Glad I'm the not the only one with a thick ass mop on my head haha
Omg I am so glad to see this! Your hair looks exactly like mine except maybe I have like 50% more and it’s bright orange (even at my advanced age). And it’s always been that way. I always feel like I’m brushing out a golden retriever with a bad layer cut on daily. My sis is the same and we have big hair contests all the time. It get huger and frizzier just running your fingers through. It gets natural dreadlocks in a heartbeat.
Hairdressers do tend to tell you your hair is fried but they also are always like you’re so lucky to have so much. I’m always like ok you gonna come over and brush it all out every day then?
oh my gosh you are blessed to have such a beautiful hair color ! 🧡 People have always told me it must be nice to have such thick hair LOL wouldn't it be nice to have a personal hair stylist every day
I’m so happy I was searching for a video like this my hair so unmanageable thank god I found you!!!!
i don’t know how i did not see this when i searched up how to style thick frizzy hair 💔 but i’m so glad i found this, this time! i don’t ever straighten my hair since it was so long and it looked decent yet so frizzy but now its very short and looks like a horrible mess
It's okay ! Let it grow out 💕💕 it'll get better over time ☺️
I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles with coarse thick hair 😌
you are not alone friend
Ahh great video! If only hair straighteners were around when I was your age. I spent my entire youth having to go through life with my huge puffy frizzy hair. Thankfully it was the 80’s so big hair was in style! These days I do the same as you, twice a week an hour out of my day to wash dry and style it. On the days I can’t be bothered I wash it dry it and tie it up in a huge messy bun on the top of my head - the volume works !
If only the 80s hair style could come back for a bit !! I surely wouldn't mind haha
ohmylord,girl you made my day..thank you.i was really having a bad day and you made it better with your awesome sense of humor...
🥰😂 I am so glad to have impacted your day positively ! I hope it goes better than it had been 💕
On so many levels I appreciate this video.
I hear you sister. I have thick and wavy frizzy hair and it is such a pain to style. I appreciate the video and I wish there was a easy way to do it
I recently invested in a Revlon styler (blow dry hairbrush?) And it is a game changer if you're looking to straighten your hair !! I highly recommend it ❤️❤️
Looks great!
This is my hair too! Not curly, not straight. Too coarse and not curly enough for curly method. Now I’m growing out grey and those become like wires. I think rollers could work but take a long time to dry.
Fun facts
- People ask you “is that all your hair” lol
- when you curl it that sh*t stays all day
Both of that facts are so true haha. My friends growing up would always be jealous I never have to use hairspray to keep my curls in all day ! Lol
Love, you should really try the curly girl method. You don’t have to follow the product ingredients, but the rest I’d recommend. My hair used to be exactly like that but now I have beautiful little ringlets all over with proper maintenance. :)
Yes !! I follow the cgm now and have been for a couple months 🥰 I actually posted a video about my first time trying it a few months ago and my hair is absolutely loving it !
My hair is the same and I used to style it the exact same way, but I found a great new method! My hair has low porosity (can't absorb moisture well) which explains the frizz. A clarifying shampoo with apple cider vinegar helps open up the cuticles to absorb lots of water and now I don't need to straighten it at all. Give it a try!
Thank you love ! I absolutely will try this ! :)
The product name you use?
@@SP-ig3vs I use Live Clean Apple Cider Detox Shampoo. Still love it!
I just want you to know you could have been describing my hair exactly and you are not alone! Even though it’s always felt lonely hair wise...nothing ever seems to work.
My hair is very similar. I struggle finding products that work. Biosilk had been around FOREVER but works great! Thank goodness for flat irons!!! In middle school I would use hot rollers to help tame my hair into some sort of smooth style lol.
It has been around forever you're right ! I actually found out about it through my friend's mother :) it's crazy to me how many people have similar hair to mine ! I'm just glad we are not alone 💕
I’m here a whole year later! Lol I’m so glad to see someone with literally the exact same hair! I’ve been battling with it lately. After 30 years of living with it, I finally am here today YouTubing it 😂 can’t believe I didn’t do this before! Thank you for this video!
Oh my gosh !! This video is actually about two years old 😳💜 thank you for being here ! I have made other hair videos on how I style my hair naturally since this one and my hair has changed dramatically !
@@flosluna I was watching another but fell asleep because kids are exhausting 😂 but definitely checking everything out!
I didn’t think anyone had worse hair than me. Grateful for my horrible hair after seeing yours. Thank you for helping me feel better. Use your hair creatively and let it be a signature. You’re lucky it lays flat well. It’s only a lions mane below your ears.
This is such a backhanded compliment lol.
"It is hair, on my head and it is styled" Lol I love this video and Hannah you look gorgeous.
haha ! thank you so much :')
I hate when stylists tell me my hair isn’t healthy because it’s frizzy. It’s so ignorant.
I have the same type of hair and I usually put my hair in braids at night (completely dried hair) and sleep on it. It's been working for me!
Yes braids are the best solution for me as well :) It get's the hair in place without being harmfull
That's a great idea !! I'll have to try it out 🥰🥰
I feel you when you say you shouldn't be embarrassed of who you are.. My hair is like yours. I didn't like going to hairdressers for haircuts because every time they would they could not cut my hair in a way it would look good, and then complain that it's my hair's fault since its frizzy and dry.. and then start promoting their services like keratins, spa, straightening, saying that it would make my hair great. I have always tied my hair till college. Then finally I realized I am not much bothered about how my hair is but rather how people keep on saying my hair is, then I learnt the art of not giving a ahem, and keep my hair however I want to..
I love this so much 💕 more of us need to learn to not give an *ahem* ! Especially when it comes to something that is natural and beautiful in its own way 😊
Your hair looks fabulous once you style it. I have the same type of hair, not nearly as thick. I refuse to use silicones, sulphates and heat (except once in a great blue moon - maybe once to twice a year). I love coconut oil and am now trying it mixed with aloe vera gel. It always takes my hair time to adjust before I can make a decision whether it works for me or not. Thanks for your video. Will check into the products you mentioned.
Thank you so much for watching !!
Finally a video on my hair type!!!! I hate constantly putting it in a messy bun but I hate using heat tools especially in the summer but heat tools are the only frickin way to style it 💀
Who else's has developed muscles in their arms from styling their thick hair? Feels like a century to style my hair.
😂 my arms get so tired !!
Literally my exact hair type I’m so happy I found this video! Most tutorials are for thin hair so it’s really hard to find styling methods
Thank you ! 💜 As you can see by the comments you are very much so not alone in the struggle to style your hair, I definitely recommend checking out the Revlon onestyler (?) I believe that's what it's called. I usually use that now when I style my hair with heat and it's been a life saver !
Oh my goodness! This describes my hair! Thank you for this video! I don’t feel so alone!
My hair is the same. Corse frizzy and big. I feel ya. You shouldn't be scared. This was helpful and funny.
WOW. This is my hair to a T. I usually just wear it in a bun bc I can’t deal with it. Mine’s flat and not voluminous on the top. Thin. Frizzyville everywhere. And stick outs wonky like tf?? It used to have a nice curl before I damaged it years ago. It’s never been the same and this is what I’m dealing with. Thank you soooo much for posting this. It’s silly but it’s always been a huge insecurity for me. You’re awesome!
Also, loved the video where you did the cgm. I noticed every video out there is kind of different and everyone has their own take. Since my hair is a lot like yours just thin, what’re the most important changes you made? I’m not trying to spend tooo much money :) I work out every day so I don’t wanna do all this hard work just to throw it in a bun 😂 thank youuu!!!
You are so sweet 😭💕 thank you for watching !! I totally understand the insecurity thing and since I've been trying the cgm I have felt so much better just rocking my natural hair even though it looks CRAZY sometimes 😂
I would say the biggest changes I've made is extreme hydration !! Allll the hydration for my hair (conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in, etc) and then not brushing or styling (I brush mine through in the shower to get rid of any tangles). Since your hair gets oily maybe try a dry shampoo ! I work out 5-7 times a week and I use it afterwards because I don't want to wash my hair everyday and it works for me ☺️☺️
Hannah Elise thank you so so much! 🙏🏼
Because you seem to have the same hair type as me, some advice🌻 heat does not exactly damage the hair but it makes it prone to drying it out more, and for this kind of frizz u dont want more dryness! You can easily straighten/style your hair this same way with less damage by first, wetting your hair, conditioning, adding a dime size amount of conditioner to your ends (i recommend Garnier Fructis Unmanagable for Frizz) throw up in a towel for 10 minutes to soak up the water+conditioner, brushing, then using a medium heat/cool blow dryer and round brush to Brazilian blowout the locks straight. THEN straightening with a straightener if you have to. The reason this damages less is because if the hair soaks up the conditioner and water, it will be MUCH less frizzy+dry and retain the style better. 💜
thank you so much !! :)
My hair is very similar and I know I’m late but here goes. After I shower aka when my hair is thoroughly wet, your hair normally gets straight and sleek. I then put it in french braids and let it air dry. If you shower at night it will still look good the next day. And once you take it out you can style it a little bit and you have nice even waves. Ur welcome it’s a life saver.😘
Finally a tutorial with someone who has hair like mine! Thank you
Of course 💕 thank you so much for watching !! I actually have an updated video on how I style my hair naturally here that you might find helpful as well th-cam.com/video/S_XlJLmnCiQ/w-d-xo.html
"450 degrees because I am desperate "....yes, girl, yes! If I have one more stylist tell me to never do that, I'll scream. Love this video
So glad I am not alone 😂💜
Exactly the same here 🤚I love that the comments are all full of people with the same experience
You are the FIRST person I've found who has my hair!! Thank you, thank you!!!
You are so welcome ! I have found that we are hard to come by but you are not alone ❤️
Your hair is gorgeous! And similar to mine. I highly recommend trying other oils too like grapeseed or baobab oil. Also the TYMO hair comb works wonders!!! The Olaplex oil is great too
Thank you love ! I will absolutely try them out ☺️ I love olaplex !!
This makes sense why mine never looks good just straight.. there is just so much of it!!! I have thinned my own hair out for years and it's about the only way I can get it to look good!
The way you talk to about your hair is so familiar because I have SUPER thick hair that no one else understands.
People REALLY don't understand 😩 and honestly...that's okay ! We learn to live with it haha but it's still hard to handle sometimes 😉
I'm a guy and I have the same problem with my hair, I usually just leave it in a pony tail. This video is so helpful!
Thank you for watching ! ☺️❤️ I'm glad I could help ! I actually have an updated video on how I style my hair naturally here which could be useful to you as well th-cam.com/video/S_XlJLmnCiQ/w-d-xo.html
I feeeeeeel you. My hair is exactly the same and my hairdresser who does my cuts has told me my hair is healthy asf despite how much I've bleached my hair. I get hate on my hair videos when they are very rarely commented on lol. That's just my hair type.
Hey you should seriously try the Curly Girl method if you haven't! Your hair is likely just curly but hasn't been treated as such, which is why it's so frizzy. Mine is similar and always fluffy/frizzy but when I do a curly girl method my hair is actually wavy!
i actually didnt know how to brush my hair. if i do, i always did it from the roots down. so thanks for showing me that
My name is Hanna too and my hair is exactly like yours! I also live in Colorado where it is DRY! I have a frizz ball of hair as well... I feel your pain.
Hi Hanna you have a great name 😉 hehe I'm glad we are not alone in this struggle! Lately I have been conditioning my hair like crazy and following a curly hairstyling method (no heat) and it has been doing WONDERS for my hair ! Maybe it would work for you as well 😊
This was awesome!! Also, they have the love beauty and planet brand at dollar general that I saw the other day, I was shocked!!
Your natural hair is beautiful!
Thank you 💜
I hav frizzy hair like yours and I struggle a lot...
But then.... I watched this video and then m hair got so much better!!
This is so sweet 😊💕 thank you for watching !
@@flosluna Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for your video. It is really helpful. Your hair looks beautiful!
I feel you I have had this crazy , ridiculously thick, unmanageable hair my entire life too. Its gets tiring so, up in a pony tail it goes. Which I would love to have a cool, edgy style but, it just never happens the way the pics look. NEVER LMAO
Omg you are so funny!!! I laughed so hard with you 🤣 Love this video because my hair is just like yours!! Wish I had seen this video sooner!
:') thank you for watching !! haha i appreciate you !
i have the same typenof hair,after a brush it i’m like lion king....but i love my hair 😌 and you are really beautyful 🤗
As you should love your hair !!
Thanks for sharing. My hair is worse crazy frizzy and so thick, but the revlon 1- step volumizer is a life saver. It does not add volume but calms my hair down. I use it after shower once my hair is 80% dry. Try it!
My hair is like this after I shower and I never know what to do with it so it’s always a frizz ball in a bun on top of my head lol
girl I feel this so hard...my hair is plopped on the top of my head 90% of the time
don't be embarrassed. thanks for the video!!
I am a guy growing out my hair for the first time, and while mine is a bit shorter we have almost the EXACT same hair😅 This video helps so much and i appreciate it😁
I'm so glad I could help you ! ☺️ Thank you for watching ! My number one suggestion is to make sure to moisturize your hair as much as you can 🌿 it will thank you later
OH MY GOSH!!! I FINALLY FOUND SOMEOME WITH NATURAL HAIR THATS LIKE MINE! nobody understands my hair grows this way as well and it sucks. i loved your video and im gonna try those curls next.... this very moment i have a heatless curl headband in, look it up (u said u were looking for heatless options)
💜 I love heatless curls !! They are my go to these days, the Revlon blowout dryer brush is another life saver for me ☺️ I don't style my hair much like this anymore but I promise you're not alone with the crazy natural hair haha
I have the exact same hair 😭 everyone actually says something like you are lucky that you have thick wavy hair , it's beautiful. But fr it's too much trouble to handle this kind of textured hair . Thank youuu for your wonderful tipss 🥲❤️ sometimes it's so annoying when I open it up out of a bun it's doesn't stay good for a long time , it starts to get messful and tangled up 😂 . Thank youuuu ❤️❤️❤️
I am 62 and my hair has been just like yours all my life
I have thicker hair and same problem, after all I found Kératine straitener the best treatment to have, keeps it well for a month or two.
Thanks for your nice video 😊
My hair is just like yours however it's very dry ty for posting this you are the bomb !
Why dont you embrace your curls? Try curly girl method, that might help 🙂
I am absolutely going to ! Thank you ☺️🥰
Hannah Elise pleaaaase do, don’t brush your hair, that makes it even more frizzy.
@@milflover6203 how then
Took me 3 hours to straighten my hair the other day! My hair is a confused puffball. Some sections are wavy others are super curly. But yes, i'm glad i won't be bald.
😭 I totally understand it takes me forever to style my hair
Finally someone with the same hair as me! That was a really helpful video, thanks :)
i've never related to a hair care video before sooo much! i have the exact same hair type and have never been able to tame it so i straighten it every day lmao
:') I feel you girl ! I try to only style my hair once or twice a week to prevent it from too much heat/damage
Literally same
THANK YOU. I have this same hair texture! No one believes me!
