Hi babe ✨ when a silicone has PEG at the end, it means it’s water soluble ! So it is a silicone, but it will simply rinse out when you shower. You don’t need sulfates to remove it ! so it’s not technically * CGM friendly, but if it works for your hair, I’d still use it. The CGM can be altered person to person in my opinion 💕
Dory Smith I’ve been using this website to analyze stuff and I really like it. It’ll tell you yes no or ehhh on if something is curly girl approved or not. Not totally sure how accurate it is because I’m just getting into this but. 🤷🏼♀️ I do like using it. www.curlsbot.com
I would love to see a video where you partner with a Curly Girl TH-camr, you do her makeup (or give her makeup tips and tricks) and she does your hair (or gives you tips and tricks). Some of my favorites are India Batson and Swavy Curly Courtney. I love your videos!
I think Manes by Mel would be perfect to collab with. She’s a licensed professional beautician, she still works in her profession, she has 3b/3c curl and her sister has 2b/3c curl that Mel cuts, colors and provides products and styling tips for both. Their hair looks fabulous.
FYI to anybody throwing away empties or products they dont want anymore... PLEASE RECYCLE! Origins has a really great program where you can bring all of your skincare or beauty containers (no matter what the brand) to their counter or store and they will take it and recycle it for you! They also give you samples as incentives, so please just save the empties and bring them to your local origins counter or store
I just wanted to say. I’ve been struggling this week with depression. You’re videos help me so much. They make me smile and forgot my bad feelings even just for a moment. Thank you. I love you so much.
sending some love and a huge hug to you even though i don't know you... i've gone through the same shi** and honestly... it does get better!! keep fighting! 💓
Grace G omg Grace... your comment really touched me. Thank you for spending time with me and letting me help you cheer up. I hope every day gets better and better for you! Try to stay positive even though I know how hard that can be! We gotta be our #1 cheerleaders though
Yes, the peg-dimethicone is a wAter soluble silicone that doesn’t build up on the hair, weigh it down or cause frizz. So products like this are more or less a preference for us curly girls. I use some peg-dimethicone & my hair likes it as long as I apply it while my hair is still squishy wet. If it’s just damp my hair will def frizz some. The CGM itself doesn’t use any silicones I don’t think but I say continue to try the Ouidad define & shine gel & any other peg-dimethicone products bcz they are water soluble & see if your hair actually likes it. That’s the REAL test. 😊 Also, the Manes by Mel channel has the best information for curly hair I’ve seen. She’s super knowledgeable about products & she’s a professional. Check her out.
i wanna see her do like a whole week of OG videos. room tours (actually go through the drawers like people used to and all that) what’s in my bag, closet tours, hauls, morning routines, tags (this or that etc) self filmed, low editing all that!!!! kathleen give the people what they want 😂😩
Kathleen you can still use silicone even if you’re doing the curly girl method. I don’t like to strictly follow the CGM bc it’s too many rules and restricting sometimes but I use it as a guide instead and then figure out what works for me. Sulfates are also not the end all to your hair, you should use them to deep cleanse every now and then to prevent product build up. I find sometimes with the CGM the scalp ends up with a lot of buildup which leads to dandruff and inflammation, but that’s just my experience! Other curly girls on TH-cam have talked about it too :) good luck on your journey
It depends really! If you use silicones you have to use harsh sulfates to get them out and that in itself is not following the CGM. You can deep cleanse/clarify in 'approved' ways by not using things such as SLS, which it appears is what she is trying to avoid. CGM definitely isn't for everyone though!
Kathleen I seriously love these OG empties videos you post! It’s really refreshing to see people use up all their products instead of feeling pushed to purchase the newest products.
I love the Tatcha The Essence. I've seen such a difference with my skin it's like I got a procedure. My daughter tried it for a really stubborn dry patch on her forehead and The Essence took care of it. Amazing stuff. Expensive but for me, worth it.
Sue K i know I hate that Tatcha is so good. I’ve tried so many fancy skincare but it really is the best. I also love The Ordinary though and its super affordable so it balances out :)
When in a routine would you use an essence? Like after cleansing or toning and before a moisturizer? I’m not sure of the sequence so my sample of it has gone unused
If your looking for a cheaper method laneige has cream skin toner. Its a toner and moisturizer in one! It worked soo good for my dry skin nothing else had ever worked!
Gucci II is my #1 favorite too and I only have one more bottle. : ( Actually, that perfume is how I found you! My friend said, " You should watch Kathleen Lights. She loves that perfume too."
I use the marula oil from acure and I loveee it. My skin is so dry especially in this midwest winter weather. Anyways It’s also only like $13 🤷🏼♀️ but I’ve tried the DE one in Sephora and I prefer the texture of the acure one so win win 🎉
Omg. I'm so excited for another Kathleen video. I'm being very honest when I say I had an ear surgery Monday that has had me forced to be lazy... but your videos make me so happy and entertain me while I just lounge around. Love you Kathleen. My favorite little youtuber
Was watching your Instagram stories and I hope you keep us updated on how the Bite foundation worked after wearing it all day! It looked beautiful when you applied it 😍
Have you ever tried Miss Jessie’s?? I love their pillow soft and quick curls hair gel/creams! I literally just wash my hair and put one of those in and air dry and my curls are great in a couple hours! Love miss Jessie’s.
The memories of your smells make your videos so GREAT!!! What would we do with out a Kathleen video that doesn't talk about "What does that scent remind me of?" or "That brings me back." You're the best Kathleen.
I LOVE the og youtube videos like empties! They're so satisfying to watch! 😂 Please film an updated perfume collection, we have the same taste and I'd like some inspiration ❤
This might be weird but , I love talking about and researching and basically everything about shower gels/creams etc. Please include them more in these videos, I would enjoy them a lot. Ever since i buy my own stuff, like 14 years or so, I have never bought the same product twice, so I always enjoy seeing what other people use too.
yay💖! also random but it’s so sweet that you did that sneaker collection video, even tho ur super big now it was rly sweet to do a subscriber request :))) not a lot of TH-camrs would do that 💛
Hey girl! I’m so glad to see you back with your curly hair! You were the first influencer that got me to embrace my curls? I’ve been on my Curlygirl journey for maybe 2 years tops, so I understand your concerns! Love you girl!
More than half the products aren't available where I live, but I so enjoy watching you talk about makeup and skincare and it's honestly my preferred way to wind down after a long week. Love love the video. Always love your empties ones. 🥰
I'm on my CG journey too! A helpful tool you can look up is curls bot. its a website you can paste the ingredients lists of your products in (just find them on ulta or sephora) and it tells you if there's any red flags in it. Really helps me since some of the to be avoided ingredients can be called different things or have different variations that are actually okay. Looking great!
Curly girl here 😉 I have long, fine, 3b hair, and I highly recommend watching more videos from Manes by Mel!!!! She is a curl specialist with very curly hair so she is really thorough and shows the difference of products on her own hair. She kinda "debunks" some of the strict CGM rules and explains why it isn't necessary to be afraid of certain products in a video specificallyabout the CGM. She really emphasizes why different people use different things for their hair because not all curls are the same! I tried the CGM and just wasn't getting the results I knew I could get, and I've learned sooo much from her videos and have been able to completely change my routine to get the best curls I've ever had. I figured out what products my hair responds best to which has included some "off limits" products. So do not get rid of your olaplex (or fav products) just yet, olaplex is used by basically every stylist and for good reason haha. Also BIGGEST recommendation I can provide is getting a Denman brush! I get compliments daily since using it and people that have known me for years have recognized how defined my curls have become. Sorry about the rant but I love seeing curly hair getting all the love it deserves 😂
Yes!!! Manes by Mell is the best! I’m actually allergic to most sulfates, but I use a shampoo w/ sulfates once a month to get rid of buildup since hair oils weigh my hair down waaaaay more than silicones. But Mell has such great content and I think more curly girls need to check her out instead of a lot of the girls strictly following the cgm!
I don’t follow the CGM very strictly, but have been a little put off in a couple of Mel’s videos when she says something to the effect of “why would hair care brands make products that aren’t good for your hair, so these must be okay”. Just not scientific at all. Of course all sorts of brands make all sorts of products that aren’t in the customers’ best interest! It’s naive to assume otherwise.
I LOVE when Porter makes an appearance in your videos, he’s a doll! Please make a short video, or include in a video, an update on when the Lights Label Miami Crewneck will be available again😍😍😍!!!
Hey Kathleen, so fun to see you on the curly hair journey. If a product works for you i dont think you need to get rid of it just because of some rules. I know these rules work for some people and theyre worth a try, but i would keep the products just in case you decide to use silicones again. I find that the styling technique matters just as much and sometimes even more than the product when it comes to curls.
I was going to say, I expected you to be more heartbroken that Gucci 2 is gone!! And was going to ask if you had any more back-ups, so I’m happy you have one more left!
Hi Kathleen! I’m the biggest fan ever. Also, I’m a chemist! PEG is a polymer chain (each number is how many repeat units on it). Polymers have different functionalities. This one makes the dimethicone water soluble because it’s hydrophilic! That’s means it likes water. Hope that helps 😘
That Fourth Ray beauty AM to PM gel cleanser is my LIFE!! I have combination normal-oily skin and it leaves my skin soooooo smooth and clean, I LOVE it. I definitely can see why it wouldn't work on dry skin, but guys. If you have normal to oily skin, DON'T SLEEP ON IT.
The double extend beauty tubes mascara from L’Oréal!! It was Kandee Johnson’s OG for yearssss and therefore became my OG! I didn’t like the Gigi one as much as the double extend, please try it if you haven’t 🥺 kilythanksbye Also LOVE you using curly girl hair products! I’m a licensed cosmo, not a scientist by any means, but I have done classes with ouidad and the way they explained it is that the dimethicone they use is broken down enough to be safe and since it’s just that one type they use, they claim to still be completely curly girl friendly. Which makes sense because their whole brand is really for curly girls. And yes you are saying it correctly!! Lol
Kathleen you should get your brows laminated! I bet you would absolutely love it! I do them at my work and everyone that’s gotten it has loved it and I think you would love it since you like your brow hairs to stay up all day
You made me buy the Kiehls cleanser and I’m OBSESSED!! Literally my favorite and have already re-purchased a back up. So so good thank you for all your recommendations!!! 😘😘😘😘
I love that kiehls cleanser 😭😭 I'm switching to all cruelty free products though. And I feel like I'm really gonna miss my kiehls cleanser. Why is kiehls not cruelty freeeee 😭😭😘
Melissa Petzer Same! When I switched to Cruelty Free I was shocked how many companies still aren’t. It’s sad to give up products you really love, but honestly it’s been two years for me now and I don’t miss any of the stuff I gave up that I was sad giving up back then. It was only hard in the beginning of the switch...hang in there! 💕
Wishing you the best on your curly girl journey! My hair was looking similar to yours for a long time and just in the last few months it’s been revitalized and looking extra curly.wavy! I think more than any product you use, technique makes a huge difference! Once I started scrunching my hair in the shower, and not just after I get out, it was a game changer. Oh and I still use the L’Oréal air dry mousse 🤫
PEGs stand for Polyethylene glycols, which basically help dissolve oils. When used in silicones, they are meant to help with frizz and moisture in your hair. When you shower the silicones will rinse out because they're water-soluble. The thing with these is that you don't have to necessarily "avoid at all costs!!", meaning if they work for you you can keep using them. However, research is still being done because they are speculated t be carcinogenic (meaning they cause cancer). Again, this is JUST a speculation, and more research is being done. Overall, if it helps with your hair, don't be afraid of them! Love you! (I'm a university BSc. student)
Hey Kathleen! I'm a curly/wavy gal. If you'd like, give WEN mousse a try. Go for the core formulas. Stay away from the seasonals and 613...they contain true cones that you are wanting to avoid. The cores only contain the water soluble PEGs. No alcohol, no frizz, no crunchiness. I've been using it for years when I choose to style my hair in its natural state. Buy from QVC for the best price. You can buy from the creator (Chaz Dean) but daz esspensive). Love your vids! 🖤
I just wanna say the hype for bioderma is real! I was on accutane for a while and I used it to clean my face and still use it after my treatment. It gets everything out and is superrrrr gentle!
TRY THE HADALABO HYALURONIC FACE LOTION!! It's on amazon and it's such an amazing hydrating toner for only $13! My skin is hella dry and I've already gone through 2 bottles of that thing. Its honestly amAZiNg
You really need to try the Marula Oil from The Ordinary (and the other products from the brand too... you would love the Squalane one). They are amazing... most of them are better than the ones from Drunk Elephant.
Save all of your mascara and brow gel wands and send them to Wands for Wildlife. It's a great place to recycle them so they're put to good use.
I will have to check this out!
Jennifer Peterson really? Thats awesome thanks for the recommendation!
@@Mellovesdeep25 you're welcome. I collect them from my neighbors, friends and family and mail them in about 3-4 times a year
What do they use them for ? Jw
@@staceee7176 i think it is for grooming small animals

I did not know that, thank you so much for the information!
Do you know if they need to be cleaned out first??
I just wanted to say. I’ve been struggling this week with depression. You’re videos help me so much. They make me smile and forgot my bad feelings even just for a moment. Thank you. I love you so much.
I hope you're able to get back to feeling more yourself real soon!

Every time Kathleen pronounces a word differently
Me: *guess I’m pronouncing it like that from now on*
Joonie B Jones literally same lol
Joonie B Jones should be too comment.
My husband knows who I am talking about when I say “boooxxysherm” and “das espensive”
SAME!
The word JUCY will never be the same for me. "So juTTsy" lol
Crazy, I never hear her accent, I guess bc it has a Miami sound. I’m from there. Ppl always question me and I’m like I don’t hear it...lol.
“It’s like hefty and SHUN-KEY”🤣
Chunky
9melissal it’s all about the Pro-nun-ci-ation😏
I’m a chemist and I follow the cgm, it’s okay to use PEG dimethicone ☺️
Your position in front of that plant makes you look like the status of liberty and I like it lol
Susalka Luczek Loool I can't unsee it now that u said it! 😂😂😂
Faugia Mazumder i'm feeling the same way

“Kicking it old school” just the words I wanna hear! Love the og beauty TH-cam videos, especially when they come from Kathleen!
Maria Isabella YES! Love empties, hauls, tutorials. 💕 ÓG Queen
i wanna see her do like a whole week of OG videos. room tours (actually go through the drawers like people used to and all that) what’s in my bag, closet tours, hauls,
morning routines, tags (this or that etc) self filmed, low editing all that!!!! kathleen give the people what they want 😂😩
The most Aquarius thing “that’s the scent I used to wear wear in Middle School”
MA’AM, I can’t remember what perfume I wore two weeks ago!
Taylor Bernstein what is your sign?
I remember the perfume my mom wore when I was a small child
Melinda Singley scorpio !!
Lol I wasn't even wearing perfume in middle school
Taylor Bernstein sounds like just a memory issue and not an astrology thing lol
Kathleen you can still use silicone even if you’re doing the curly girl method. I don’t like to strictly follow the CGM bc it’s too many rules and restricting sometimes but I use it as a guide instead and then figure out what works for me. Sulfates are also not the end all to your hair, you should use them to deep cleanse every now and then to prevent product build up. I find sometimes with the CGM the scalp ends up with a lot of buildup which leads to dandruff and inflammation, but that’s just my experience!

"This is old, old, old, my sister wore it in high school" the shade 😂😂

Sue K i know I hate that Tatcha is so good. I’ve tried so many fancy skincare but it really is the best. I also love The Ordinary though and its super affordable so it balances out :)
When in a routine would you use an essence? Like after cleansing or toning and before a moisturizer? I’m not sure of the sequence so my sample of it has gone unused
Kendall Heyer cleanser, toner, essence,serum then moisturizer then oils
Shan Ray thank you!
If your looking for a cheaper method laneige has cream skin toner. Its a toner and moisturizer in one! It worked soo good for my dry skin nothing else had ever worked!
I think it would be so adorable to see a "day in the life of my dogs" video!
Haven’t watched it yet but crossing my fingers that you talk about something JUITCY or GLAWTSY
No, but we went ththththru a lot of product.
Hahahaha
I can't stop looking at the one perfect spiral in your hair.
SAME!
Gucci II is my #1 favorite too and I only have one more bottle. : (
Actually, that perfume is how I found you! My friend said, " You should watch Kathleen Lights. She loves that perfume too."
Everytime you do an empties, I always know the Koh Gen Do wipes will be there 🤓
I use the marula oil from acure and I loveee it. My skin is so dry especially in this midwest winter weather. Anyways It’s also only like $13 🤷🏼♀️ but I’ve tried the DE one in Sephora and I prefer the texture of the acure one so win win 🎉
Yesss. I bought 1 from Ulta and they also have sales sometimes. 😀
I think the ordinary have a marula oil and i heard good things about it
GASP!!! I’m gonna try this one!! I haven’t
@@KathleenLights yes. It's very close....and around $15/16. 😀
KathleenLights it also has a twist lock pump which is a huge BONUS for me, it’s so nice 👍🏻 🤗
“That’s probably like $20” 😂.... you are so relatable 😘
Elizabeth Ha yep! Whenever someone uses my products for example they use my face cream I’m like woah there girl that’s £3 right there on your finger 😆

Back to back Kathleen videos!! WOOHOO!!...love empties...and favorites/holy grail videos...or hauls...oh and declutters LOL...OLD SCHOOL WORKS!!!!
Two uploads in a daaaay??? Thank you!!! ❤️✨

Wow, you can tell you are becoming an official curly girl when the first thing you do is flip to bottle around and read the ingredients 😂🙌🏾
I was never one to really do my brows until I decided to try that Glossier Brow Flick and Boy Brow combo. Love both of those products!
Why you dont use Shea Moisture in your curly routine? They have amazing products and are curly girl method
I'm guessing it's because they can be quite heavy, and she has such fine hair.
CarolAnn Edie They have different lines for different needs/hair texture so just go on the website and look up your hair type and you’re good 👍
I have NEVER been disappointed in any TATCHA product I've purchased. They are the best! 💜 I just put the essence in my cart!
The double extend beauty tubes mascara from L’Oréal!! It was Kandee Johnson’s OG for yearssss and therefore became my OG! I didn’t like the Gigi one as much as the double extend, please try it if you haven’t 🥺 kilythanksbye

Which makes sense because their whole brand is really for curly girls. And yes you are saying it correctly!! Lol
Kathleen you should get your brows laminated! I bet you would absolutely love it! I do them at my work and everyone that’s gotten it has loved it and I think you would love it since you like your brow hairs to stay up all day
FINALLY!!!!! TH-cam always sends me notifications FIVE HOURS LATER ! This time it was only 3 minutes late!
You made me buy the Kiehls cleanser and I’m OBSESSED!! Literally my favorite and have already re-purchased a back up. So so good thank you for all your recommendations!!! 😘😘😘😘

Kathleen: “It’s Not something I’m trying to waste...”
Me: ... then why is their so much product left in the bottle
Use it up GIRL!
Meagan Monroe literally... that’s like another month’s worth!
Loving how you've been embracing your curl! Wavy/curly hair product update please!! ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Kathleen! 👋🏽 WE MISS EMILIA 🗣 lol please film another video with her. You two together crack me up !!
Kathleen!!! Your curls are really coming back! ♥️😱 Your technique works!
Look at the cute little perfect curl on your right side near the ear 😍
I love that kiehls cleanser 😭😭 I'm switching to all cruelty free products though. And I feel like I'm really gonna miss my kiehls cleanser. Why is kiehls not cruelty freeeee 😭😭😘
Melissa Petzer Same! When I switched to Cruelty Free I was shocked how many companies still aren’t. It’s sad to give up products you really love, but honestly it’s been two years for me now and I don’t miss any of the stuff I gave up that I was sad giving up back then. It was only hard in the beginning of the switch...hang in there! 💕
Melissa Petzer Krave Matcha Hemp cleanser seems to be all the rage with a lot of skin and cruelty free YTers!
Diana LovesTo Plan thanks 💕
Cee Cee yes yes yes all the skin care you tubers love it 😂
Savannah Eggers wait aren’t they cruelty free? Pretty sure it said that on mine
Wishing you the best on your curly girl journey! My hair was looking similar to yours for a long time and just in the last few months it’s been revitalized and looking extra curly.wavy! I think more than any product you use, technique makes a huge difference! Once I started scrunching my hair in the shower, and not just after I get out, it was a game changer. Oh and I still use the L’Oréal air dry mousse 🤫
I would love to see another Bath & Body Works candle haul!!☺️💖💖💖
PrincessK omg yes!
PEGs stand for Polyethylene glycols, which basically help dissolve oils. When used in silicones, they are meant to help with frizz and moisture in your hair. When you shower the silicones will rinse out because they're water-soluble. The thing with these is that you don't have to necessarily "avoid at all costs!!", meaning if they work for you you can keep using them. However, research is still being done because they are speculated t be carcinogenic (meaning they cause cancer). Again, this is JUST a speculation, and more research is being done. Overall, if it helps with your hair, don't be afraid of them! Love you! (I'm a university BSc. student)
You are on fire with the uploads! 😍
Hey Kathleen! I'm a curly/wavy gal. If you'd like, give WEN mousse a try. Go for the core formulas. Stay away from the seasonals and 613...they contain true cones that you are wanting to avoid. The cores only contain the water soluble PEGs. No alcohol, no frizz, no crunchiness. I've been using it for years when I choose to style my hair in its natural state. Buy from QVC for the best price. You can buy from the creator (Chaz Dean) but daz esspensive). Love your vids! 🖤
LOOK AT KATHLEEN UPLOADING LIKE 20 TIMES A WEEK.... THIS IS WHAT I LIIIIIVE FOR
I can't WAIT until you make a "my curly hair journey" video! I started CGM 3 weeks ago
I see some of those spirals staring to show through! Pop off!!! Stay strong on this curly girl journey
so many people are uploading empties recently and i’m living for it
Kathleen I can’t keep up with these fire ass uploads whew chile 🥵🥵🥵
I love the black and white bag. Brings back memories~❤😊
Kathleen: *Shows makeup wipes*
**Hyram has entered the chat**
☠️😂😂😂🖤
TJ Rollans LOL so true
Dory Smith 😂🙌🏼
Thought the same thing! LOL
Omg lol I thought the same exact thing 😂
accurate!! lol
Wow 2 videos in less than 24 hours! You’re my favorite youtuber and I just love watching your videos Kathleen 😁❤️
Can u do a skincare video?
I just wanna say the hype for bioderma is real! I was on accutane for a while and I used it to clean my face and still use it after my treatment. It gets everything out and is superrrrr gentle!
TRY THE HADALABO HYALURONIC FACE LOTION!! It's on amazon and it's such an amazing hydrating toner for only $13! My skin is hella dry and I've already gone through 2 bottles of that thing. Its honestly amAZiNg
Your video made me smile. My grandpa passed away this Tuesday and I love watching your content. Your amazing kathleen.
Take a shot every time Kathleen says "curly girl" lmao
Kathleen youre killing it with your upload game! Also I lovee these empties videos!
You really need to try the Marula Oil from The Ordinary (and the other products from the brand too... you would love the Squalane one). They are amazing... most of them are better than the ones from Drunk Elephant.
dude your hair is loooookinnggg goooood and curly, can’t wait to see how good it looks in a few more weeks!
"Can you imagine me in PE? Just picture that for a second. It was awful." Kathleen we are kindred spirits
your curly hair is my favorite thing 😍😍😍 I think your curly girl journey is working! such a vibe
Kathleen you should give “ The Marías” a listen!! I love their music and think you would like them too!!!!
Susye Marie the best 🥺💖💖
Omg yes! She listens to a musician that’s very similar to the Maria’s. They’re so amazing live too❤️❤️
YEEEESSSS
Ugh I love them!!
girl thank you for the recommendation:)
OMG literally have the Warm and Cozy body spray almost empty in my vanity!! its my go-to after shower spray because its soooo nostalgic!!!
The brand Giovanni has lots of curly girl friendly products.
Warm and cozy.. I know ALL about that! Was forever my high school scent as well!
I’m pretty sure “the ordinary” has marula oil
Maybe I'm old school but empties videos are still some of my favsss. Thank you Kathleen for continuing to make them 😂
I just recently used up all of my pineapple serum from glow recipe and I neeeed another one 🤣
I love that your telling me all the products to avoid for curly girls!! I would never have known how many of these have silicone!!
I hope you eventually make a curly hair journey video! Also due to the recent controversy, stay away from DevaCurl just in case!!
KATHLEEN can you please do a skincare routine??? I also have super dry skin and always LOVE your recommendations!
0:23 omg I love the way you said that! 💖😂
I love when she does her accents!!!....especially her "espanish" one....
The Eva NYC Styling Mousse is amazing and curly girl friendly!
