Literally, I went to a hair dresser for the first time and she said I should only brush my hair while wet just to keep the frizz away, she also said i don’t have to shampoo my hair every time I wash it, I just need to keep it topped up with leave in conditioner every time it’s wet. I am the only person in my family with curly hair so I’m only just learning how to take care of my curls at 20 years old, my hair feels bliss even though I haven’t washed it since my appointment 4 days ago
Oh I always brush my hair while soaking wet with product. I just stay away from sulfates, parabens, bad alcohols etc If I do use silicone I make sure to clarify. So I guess I loosely follow it 🤷🏻♀️
Same. They said “don’t brush your hair, or only brush it upside down when it’s wet.” Well I have spinal and head meadical issues, so that doesn’t work for me. I have to brush my hair standing up straight and in front of the mirror when I get out of the shower. ❤
We have very similar hair texture and density and it's *so* hard to find videos and techniques specific to fine hair. Thank you for sharing what works for you, because "curly girl method" has never worked for me, so I continued destroying my hair with heat instead of trying to find something that works. Thank you for this!!
My whole YT experience had been people saying their hair is thin and fine & then seeing them with THICK luscious hair. I always felt like ok I’m the last person on the planet with thinner hair. I’ve always had thin hair but, the last 3 years the place we lived had the worst water and my hair has fallen at an exponential rate. I have no curl texture left and I’m trying to repair my hair but following any other curly method leaves my hair GREASY, clumped together and stringy because it’s just too much product for the lack of hair I have. So THANK YOU for this. Seriously. Your hair is literally my goal and you’ve shown it’s achievable for those of us who don’t have a whole whole lot of hair. Thank you !
As a curly girl myself who doesn’t follow the cgm I appreciate such a real routine! Before I got into caring for my hair I joined a few of those curly girl fb pages and groups… my god it was so scary 🤣 your curls are gorgeous btw 🙌❤️
I enjoyed this video. I am elderly, and have spent a lifetime trying to get my curls to do what I want. I grew up in the 60s, when straight hair was the style. Ohhhh... how I fought my curls! I didn't really embrace them until I was over 50. Now I enjoy them. However, menopause left my hair very thin. And it's always been fine, so it's difficult to get much body and volume. I don't use a diffuser, but think I'll give it a try one of these days. I tend to wash it, put on some gel, and scrunch... then let it air dry and lightly comb it out with a fat-toothed comb. That's it... that is all I do. I don't wash it every day, but I do wet it and start over. Sleeping on it flattens it out too much to save. Anyway... thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!
Mine too! I tried and left cgm a lllllllloooooong time ago. really bad info and a really toxic community 🤣🤣🤣 glad this was helpful for you, and thanks!❤️
Oh hey.. just dropping in to say I got up later than intended, had an extended wash, got two kids breakfasted and ready for school, watched your video, and am now having THE BEST CURLY HAIR DAY **EVER** - and I've still got 20 mins before I log on and start work! THANK YOU. After a few years of wearing my hair straight, I've gone back to curly and have been trying something along the lines of CGM with limited success. You've got very similar hair to me, and it looks like - admittedly with better products - how I always used to do my hair is the right way to do my hair - who knew? 🤦🏻♀️ A million times thank you. So loving my hair right now! ❤
Ugh I just love your curls 😍😍 I use whatever products work for me, curly girl method be damned 😅 I do a very very similar method to you, especially since I've been suffering with medication & illness induced hair loss. I've found a lot of popular techniques weigh it down too much so I found my own way!
I have always had long thick curly hair but I used olaplex just a few times and it completely wrecked it. It felt like chewing gum, it thinned right out, my ends were fried. So these thonner curly hair videos have been a lifesaver for me. I have used so many different hair products I'm the part but none have had the effect that olaplex had. Even having covid didn't produce ad much shedding as olacrap. I'm part of a class action lawsuit against olaplex along with thousands of others😔
The cgm is all like “every hair is different so do what works” but theyll also stone you if you dont follow their 300 commandments. If a curling iron can help, then im using it
I have the same hair - mine is a little longer than yours but the curls are never the same throughout so thanks for the tips! Any suggestions on how to get the top of my head near my scalp to not frizz? maybe I'm just being picky but I hate when I use the curly hair products the top 2 inches of my hair from my root just looks messy...
I completely agree! I have fine thin curls like you and brushing my produce in makes my curls stringy. I just scrunch in curl cream followed by a light gel.
i have never seen a curly routine like this and it genuinely has me looking forward to my next wash day. I've been losing my curls over the last year and I have been searching for a routine for YEARS that works on fine hair, especially finger curls. i literally cannot wait to try this.
thank you so much. I am a fellow fine curly haired gal. over the past few years I lost like half of my hair due to poor mental health. but i am back and feeling good and excited to learn how to keep this hair healthy, keep growing new hair, minimize hair loss, and style in a way that adds volume and hides my loss.
This is so helpful, thank you! I have fine, thin hair that's wavy/a little curly, and like you, the curly girl method just does not work for me (frankly, I don't have the energy for all that fuss). I did find that my hair has gotten a little thicker and healthier, and a little curlier, after switching to a sulfate-free shampoo and a silicone-free conditioner that's designed for fine, curly hair, but I also don't use heat too often. I'll have to try some of your other tips though!
My hair is thin too and i can't add too much product either! It's so hard for me to find products that work on my hair. Typically I try to find smoothing products because I feel like that tames the frizz and makes the waves / curls want to form. I also just use whatever products work for me. And yes that might mean silicone too!
I'm old enough to be your mom 😁 but I have to say you and I have the same kind of hair. I've let my hair go natural (no more dye) and I'm embracing my waves, too. My hair, like yours, has always had tighter waves around my face but sad ones on the back top of my head. Plus, my part continues down the back of my head! Ugh. Well, this is my first time watching one of your videos and I appreciate how real you are about needing to help some of your curls along whether it be twisting them or using the curling wand. Recently I used the cloth hair wraps with snaps on the ends (microfiber, padded curler type things), sprayed the back of my hair and put in about seven of those curlers and slept in them. The next day those curls were perfect and matched the rest of my hair AND lasted for two days.
I am just starting to wear my curls and have had the worst luck with the typical process! The finishing oil always makes my curls fall out so thank you for posting this!!
Your curls look great! It's very similar to my hair, though I'm a 40yr old guy. Now, I mean no offense when I say this, but in the beginning of the video your hair does look frizzy, is there anything you've found that works to keep your curls more in-tact or less frizzy? I've noticed that unless I put something like pure coconut oil or mineral oil in my hair, that it just kinda frizzes out however it wants. Now, my hair IS thinning on top, thanks male pattern baldness! So my sides and back are how my hair USED to be, and those curls are always fine, thick, non-frizzy, but the hair on top... It is just like how yours is! It agrees with me on certain days, no matter my routine. So yeah, are there any techniques or products you've discovered that help when you have very fine curly hair?
So many ppl have been gate keeping curly hair recently (especially bc of tik tok) and I’m on my “might have curly hair” journey. It makes it awkward to talk about cuz I just know ppl would be trying to tell me my own hair type lol also ppl just assume thin hair can’t be curly ig bc we take care of it differently/use different techniques? Idk lol
I struggle to find helpful products that don't have fragrance added (can't tolerate due to my sensitivities). If you have recommendations for products that can help with humidity/frizz, I would love to know. I live in FL so it's a struggle (and I have fine, thin hair too, so too much weighs it down, but not enough of the right thing and it looks gross too due to humidity, etc!!Just wish products wouldn't add perfume because then I would have so many options.)
Thank you for clarifying fine hair! I so often see people talking about “thin hair” both when they mean fine hair OR low density hair. Fine hair and low density hair are completely different! Let’s all move beyond saying “thin hair”!
Thank you for an honest video and a great routine! I agree with you that Kerastase Curl Manifesto is the BEST!! Big time! However, I just can’t stand that vanilla fragrance. - I just can’t! And my boyfriend can’t! So I had to leave it, and have not found anything as good to replace it with. So congratulations to you and all others who like it / don’t mind. I really, really envy you!
My hair is fine too. Have you seen Manes by Mel? - She's a curly-haired - (not CGM) Aveda-trained stylist and has great tips {th-cam.com/video/2O-UDYUMGaY/w-d-xo.html}. She's helped me so much. I wish I hadn't jumped on the CGM bandwagon years ago. She also explains different products.
Maybe I missed it but do you use heat protectant as well or does that weight down the hair? I've used heat protectant before but I feel like it added to all the goop on my hair and the result was horrid.
Thank you for this! My hair has thinned out massively in the past 5 or so years since hitting 30. It used to be insanely thick so it's been a wild transition. I've tried one of the methods where you use Shea Moisture Curl Smoothie and some Twist and Lock Gel... but I think those products might be too heavy for my hair, cuz it doesn't turn out very well. It's so stringy. I'm gonna try your method next. It's frustrating because my hair looks pretty nice after I've put all the stuff in and scrunched and stuff... but then it just doesn't dry looking right. Though to be fair, I usually just air dry. So annoying!
Would love to see how you refresh your hair on day 2 or 3 ? Thank you so much for sharing this routine, it’s so valuable to other thin curly haired girls like me
I spray my hair with the smallest amount of water to dampen it, and then I use the Kerastase Curl Refreshing & Restyling Spray. This allows me to re-finger curl some spots, and it works AMAZINGLY👩🦱❤️
Hi! I'm a little confused a few videos I saw you were curling your hair with a straightener or a curling iron and your hair was so straight. Your hair is naturally curly?
I brush my hair right before washing it🤔 I’ve noticed everyone does it after washing🤔 But I don’t wanna ruin the new fresh waves plus I’ve heard hair is more prone to breakage when wet.
You are an absolute hair-savior! I was getting so depressed when I noticed none of the curly girl advice was helping and only ruined my hair further in fact. Now there is hope again
I feel like the CGM was meant to help us out, to really give us answers as to how we can get the very best out of our hair- if we choose! Not for us to bully each other around with! People online are SO mean about curly hair, and most hate that I’ve gotten is from people with straight hair. Wth. I’m so very thankful to have hair at all, and I’m thankful if my hair curls one day or decides to just wave. That’s what I’ve got and I’m happy to have it. I don’t need anyone gate keeping and gaslighting me about the texture of my hair.
I tried CGM about 4 yrs ago, despite never straightening my hair & knowing how to keep my curls under control... I saw all these amazing before & afters & wondered what it could do for me! Within 6 months, I went from curly to slightly wavy hair, my scalp was getting these gross scabs, & I began shedding. like a LOT. So I said screw that! One thing I'm grateful for is that I learned a LOT about ingredients & formulas, & turns out I'm pretty fascinated by the chemistry behind it! My hair loves silicone but actually doesn't do well with heavy butters & heavy oils & NO waxes! But that's what my experimentation taught me about MY curls. Anyone trying to sell a one size fits all curl routine is doing exactly that - trying to SELL $$$ Everyone's hair is different, there's no such thing as a universally "bad" ingredient. Everytime I see someone in the comments section of a video where the creator used silicone 😱, starting a huge lecture about "no but silicone actually IS bad for you, you should NEVER use them" I want to smack my phone. Thanks Lorena Massey 😒 (inventor/author of the CGM & "curly girl handbook") Her infomercial is scary. it's from back in the day, but if anyone wants to be freaked out, try to find it 😬😬
I know this video is old but I love your channel. My hair has thinned over the years from pcos and having a kid. My curls are very small and fine. I just chopped off all my hair because I got tired of this summer heat and my curls look better shorter. I love your curls!
Oh yes, especially when I was little, my hair was so curly and white lol! I’m definitely going to watch her videos. Thank you for the recommendation ❤️
Ps- it’s really great to see you 🥰I’ve been out of the beauty loop for some time. So I’m happy you came through my IG feed earlier. Mad love and respect 🥰
Definitely appreciate your fine hair, curly video! Curly girl never worked because it’s not for fine curls for sure! I’d love to here what cut you suggest. Super hard to find someone who “gets” my hair.
I also was trying to do the curly hair method but it didn't work for me. One of my problems is that I lost a lot of hair which is one of the reasons I don't have my curls as before plus I have very thin hair. I do use a lot less products now and guess what my curls started coming out again. its still not as before but definitely you don't need all the things they advertise. I have a shampoo/conditioner, oil, curly gel, and a bonding hair mask. most importantly take collagen. The curly hair method is not necessary. I also don't spend a lot of money on products. and love the Denman brush!!
Love it love it love it. cant agree more that a good brush and collagen is a HUGE part of good hair. only sorry that your had to deal with hair loss. I'm still dealing with my 3rd or 4th big round of hair loss in the past couple of years and I've done a couple videos on hair loss and TE if you haven't seen them already.
I don't have time either, so If I wear my hair curly I just scrunch it with some product and let it air dry, but usually half way through the day my curls are gone.
Most women of European and African decent likely use those to get loose curls. Most middle eastern women have this hair type naturally. I have never even seen a curl wand until watching videos like this and again it is mostly black and white women.
Great video. I just discovered I have curly/wavy hair (who knew?) and have been trying different techniques for styling. My hair is thin and the front that frames my face stays kind of straight, the rest, especially the back is quite curly. I am going to invest in a skinny wand like you used, it looks great!
when i was 12 i found out i had curly hair. i followed cgm religiously. now at 21 i brush my hair dry to braid it, i use heat a few times a year but mostly keep it natural and have better results than when i followed cgm.
yeah i followed CGM for sometime myself, and honestly, its insane 🤣 and I love my curls, and i am very conscious of what i put on and in to my body. so glad you left the cvlt and that you've found methods that work well for you and your beautiful hair!
How do you avoid too much volume at the ends, or triangle shape? Is it in your cut? I have fine hair and have this issue when I center part. Love your center part.
Somehow I like curly hair on everyone, except ME! If I do go the curly hair route, after sleeping on it it turns into a gigantic mess. Sometimes it's easier to straighten, as it stays pretty straight as long as it doesn't get wet from humidity or sweating in hot climates. I can only look at myself curly for a day before I can't stand it another minute. Alot of people think it's easier to leave the hair curly, but I don't. If I straighten my hair I don't have to wash it again for 3 to 5 days as my hair is pretty thick. If its curly it's a daily routine, which is too time consuming. Thanks for the curly hair tips anyway. Love your videos contents...💖
Curly hair definitely takes more upkeep and I agree with you! When it comes to having a style last for a few days, a blow out and style lasts much longer.
I use Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner, which has silicones and sulphates...my hair loves it and it's certainly not GGM approved. All the GRM approved products made my hair dull, dry, frizzy.
This cut was from a really good stylist in Houston. Unfortunately since moving to Arkansas, I cant find anyone with the same level of skill 🥲 Try to find someone who specializes in cutting curly hair💖
You’ve encouraged me to try product on my wavy hair again I tried the curly method and it wasn’t for me I need my heat for days I want a sleek look I don’t always want my hair curly! Plus time consuming! But! I do want to try now to dig my diffuser back out and use some product now that my hair is about your length to see if I can spring some life into my waves!
@@ImMalloryBrooke I feel the same way! And a sleek blowout for me is usually easier and quicker vs curly ! I might try it soon but it sounds honestly sounds exhausting thinking about it hahaha
Hi Mallory, I'm new to your channel... My hair is fine /wavy so when I wash it, it gets like 'matted' on the ends...I leave the conditioner on a few minutes to take out tangles but still a problem.. Could you recommend a good conditioner that will provide 'slip' and a pre- treatment before you shampoo?
I recommend the Kerastase Curl Manifesto conditioner for the days you want to wear your natura curls, but Pureology Strength shampoo and conditioner is incredible for fine tangly hair. The shampoo isn’t drying, and also gives you a nice slip feel. I’ve been using these for years👏🏻
The curly girl method lost me when they said you shouldn't brush your hair. As someone who develops rats nests...its a no from me.
It’s INSANE😂
Literally, I went to a hair dresser for the first time and she said I should only brush my hair while wet just to keep the frizz away, she also said i don’t have to shampoo my hair every time I wash it, I just need to keep it topped up with leave in conditioner every time it’s wet.

Awwww yeahhhh 1988 babies represent!!
She was born in 1988?! 😮
So did you brush your hair before the shower?
always lol

Gasp! A curling wand! 😉 So good to see a fellow super thin haired curly lady making it work and doing your own thing!
Oh, kids....the friggin cgm essentially ruined my already thinning curly hair. THANK YOU for this! You're a beauty, btw!
Mine too! I tried and left cgm a lllllllloooooong time ago. really bad info and a really toxic community 🤣🤣🤣 glad this was helpful for you, and thanks!❤️
love how honest and realistic you are!!
Thank you!!! It’s nice to hear🫶
I can't do the CGM either girl....it is just TOO much for me. I LOVED this video. I do the EXACT same thing with a tiny wand. We are hair twins!
Oh hey.. just dropping in to say I got up later than intended, had an extended wash, got two kids breakfasted and ready for school, watched your video, and am now having THE BEST CURLY HAIR DAY **EVER** - and I've still got 20 mins before I log on and start work!

A million times thank you. So loving my hair right now! ❤
Your hair looks like mine when I style my curls. Super thin and fine. Our curl pattern is also very similar.
Ugh I just love your curls 😍😍 I use whatever products work for me, curly girl method be damned 😅 I do a very very similar method to you, especially since I've been suffering with medication & illness induced hair loss. I've found a lot of popular techniques weigh it down too much so I found my own way!
Your hair is GORGEOUS Charlie, and I’ve always thought so. ME TOO! That’s why it’s hard to follow a lot of curly hair advice because I have 3 hairs.
It's a lot of fun having the ability to go straight or go curly. Nice to change it up. Both look gorgeous on you Mallory.
I love this simple break down! Is there a chance you could do a drugstore version of this? The prices are expensive!
Yes, I would like to see with supermarket brands, not hair dresser shop only brands.
I have always had long thick curly hair but I used olaplex just a few times and it completely wrecked it. It felt like chewing gum, it thinned right out, my ends were fried. So these thonner curly hair videos have been a lifesaver for me. I have used so many different hair products I'm the part but none have had the effect that olaplex had. Even having covid didn't produce ad much shedding as olacrap. I'm part of a class action lawsuit against olaplex along with thousands of others😔
Perfect timing! I just started embracing my curls/waves. I'm a fan of the bumble and bumble light curl line.
Omg welcome ❤
The cgm is all like “every hair is different so do what works” but theyll also stone you if you dont follow their 300 commandments.

My hair is like yours. Straight from the part about an inch and then waves/curls.
I struggle to find helpful products that don't have fragrance added (can't tolerate due to my sensitivities). If you have recommendations for products that can help with humidity/frizz, I would love to know. I live in FL so it's a struggle (and I have fine, thin hair too, so too much weighs it down, but not enough of the right thing and it looks gross too due to humidity, etc!!Just wish products wouldn't add perfume because then I would have so many options.)
I stopped using silicone based products and my stylist almost lost her mind. She told me to go back immediately. 😂🤣
Omg LOVE your stylist😂🫶
Thank you for clarifying fine hair! I so often see people talking about “thin hair” both when they mean fine hair OR low density hair.

I spray my hair with the smallest amount of water to dampen it, and then I use the Kerastase Curl Refreshing & Restyling Spray. This allows me to re-finger curl some spots, and it works AMAZINGLY👩🦱❤️
I’m so glad I found your channel. I have very similar hair and never see fine thin hair addressed. Thank you
Hi! I'm a little confused a few videos I saw you were curling your hair with a straightener or a curling iron and your hair was so straight. Your hair is naturally curly?
I brush my hair right before washing it🤔 I’ve noticed everyone does it after washing🤔 But I don’t wanna ruin the new fresh waves plus I’ve heard hair is more prone to breakage when wet.
You are an absolute hair-savior! I was getting so depressed when I noticed none of the curly girl advice was helping and only ruined my hair further in fact. Now there is hope again
Loving your hair this darker shade of blonde. Rocks those girls.
I feel like the CGM was meant to help us out, to really give us answers as to how we can get the very best out of our hair- if we choose! Not for us to bully each other around with! People online are SO mean about curly hair, and most hate that I’ve gotten is from people with straight hair. Wth. I’m so very thankful to have hair at all, and I’m thankful if my hair curls one day or decides to just wave. That’s what I’ve got and I’m happy to have it. I don’t need anyone gate keeping and gaslighting me about the texture of my hair.
I hv your hair texture ..so no finishing spray???
I tried CGM about 4 yrs ago, despite never straightening my hair & knowing how to keep my curls under control... I saw all these amazing before & afters & wondered what it could do for me! Within 6 months, I went from curly to slightly wavy hair, my scalp was getting these gross scabs, & I began shedding. like a LOT. So I said screw that! One thing I'm grateful for is that I learned a LOT about ingredients & formulas, & turns out I'm pretty fascinated by the chemistry behind it! My hair loves silicone but actually doesn't do well with heavy butters & heavy oils & NO waxes! But that's what my experimentation taught me about MY curls. Anyone trying to sell a one size fits all curl routine is doing exactly that - trying to SELL $$$
Everyone's hair is different, there's no such thing as a universally "bad" ingredient. Everytime I see someone in the comments section of a video where the creator used silicone 😱, starting a huge lecture about "no but silicone actually IS bad for you, you should NEVER use them" I want to smack my phone.
Thanks Lorena Massey 😒 (inventor/author of the CGM & "curly girl handbook")
Her infomercial is scary. it's from back in the day, but if anyone wants to be freaked out, try to find it 😬😬
I know this video is old but I love your channel. My hair has thinned over the years from pcos and having a kid. My curls are very small and fine. I just chopped off all my hair because I got tired of this summer heat and my curls look better shorter. I love your curls!
Also I hate the cgm because I brush my hair (hate combs) and I have to shampoo every 2-3 days I have oily skin fine hair so it builds up easily.
Didn’t realize you had curls! You and manes by mell should collaborate you pick her make up routine she picks your hair
Oh yes, especially when I was little, my hair was so curly and white lol! I’m definitely going to watch her videos. Thank you for the recommendation ❤️
Hair issue could be result of Thyroid issue. 😕
You're so lucky you can wear it both ways! So cute!
Thank you❤️ I love styling hair🤣
Your curly hair looks absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you for this video!!! So relatable and finally someone who really does have fine curly hair.
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful ♥️
Ps- it’s really great to see you 🥰I’ve been out of the beauty loop for some time. So I’m happy you came through my IG feed earlier. Mad love and respect 🥰
Thank you. Practical tips that are realistic for every day. Really enjoyed this, thanks for the tips. You look gorgeous
I have fine curly hair. I just started using Kevin Murphy products and love them!!
Definitely appreciate your fine hair, curly video! Curly girl never worked because it’s not for fine curls for sure! I’d love to here what cut you suggest. Super hard to find someone who “gets” my hair.
I also was trying to do the curly hair method but it didn't work for me. One of my problems is that I lost a lot of hair which is one of the reasons I don't have my curls as before plus I have very thin hair. I do use a lot less products now and guess what my curls started coming out again. its still not as before but definitely you don't need all the things they advertise. I have a shampoo/conditioner, oil, curly gel, and a bonding hair mask. most importantly take collagen. The curly hair method is not necessary. I also don't spend a lot of money on products. and love the Denman brush!!
Love it love it love it. cant agree more that a good brush and collagen is a HUGE part of good hair. only sorry that your had to deal with hair loss. I'm still dealing with my 3rd or 4th big round of hair loss in the past couple of years and I've done a couple videos on hair loss and TE if you haven't seen them already.
@@ImMalloryBrooke ❤️
I can't use that oil on my fine hair, it's too greasy. But I love B&B, especially their curl cream and conditioner.
Mam plz make a info vdo on "Miradry" effects on your body after three years...plz it's our humble request 🙏
Such a good video!
I don't have time either, so If I wear my hair curly I just scrunch it with some product and let it air dry, but usually half way through the day my curls are gone.
Please don’t use the LORD’s name in vain..or swear.. thank you…
Yes ty😊
Looks lovely! Beautiful tattoos, too!
Thanks Shelley! ♥️
I love your hair curly. Really suits you 🫢
Thank you!!
I use gas babyliss tong way easier to manage .twirl the bits that are misbehaving makes so much differance
Your hair is beautiful. I have shorter hair than you. And it’s extremely thin
I have the exact same type of hair like you…. 🙏🙏 thank you for the tips ❤❤❤
Oh beautiful girl indeed 😍
But why tattoos... 😥
Wow! You are stunning! Thanks for the helpful video
I’m a curly girl who loves silicones.
Hahaha hell yes!!!! High five👏🏻
@@ImMalloryBrooke ✋✋
I need to know what lipstick you are wearing 🤩
Thank you!! Your hair texture is just like mine. I so appreciate this video! ❤
Very frizzy
U have wavy hair if u have to curl ur hair u don't have curly hair
my hair is exactly like yours. Great tips..thank you.
Mine is simple wash and condition proudect air dry
My hair hated the curly girl method and all the silicone free products 😅can’t wait to try this. I have fine curly thin hair 😅
I think a LOT of those curly girls are using a curling wand... they just won't admit it
Most women of European and African decent likely use those to get loose curls. Most middle eastern women have this hair type naturally. I have never even seen a curl wand until watching videos like this and again it is mostly black and white women.
Do you comb your hair out of shower?
yes. I don't follow cgm. I towel dry, brush, and apply any treatments or oils then go about my day, or style as needed
Great video. I just discovered I have curly/wavy hair (who knew?) and have been trying different techniques for styling. My hair is thin and the front that frames my face stays kind of straight, the rest, especially the back is quite curly. I am going to invest in a skinny wand like you used, it looks great!
The skinny wand is LIFE changing!!! You’ll have so much fun playing with your curls❤️
Awesome! Thank you for this video!
does the dyson 1800 W work the same way the dyson supersonic does ? Would you reccomend anything else aside the dyson?
Yes! Laifen is literally the same! I just discovered them a few months ago🥰 $150 compared to $500
when i was 12 i found out i had curly hair. i followed cgm religiously. now at 21 i brush my hair dry to braid it, i use heat a few times a year but mostly keep it natural and have better results than when i followed cgm.
yeah i followed CGM for sometime myself, and honestly, its insane 🤣 and I love my curls, and i am very conscious of what i put on and in to my body. so glad you left the cvlt and that you've found methods that work well for you and your beautiful hair!
I have the same hair as you and been wanting to try the kerastase curl product so now I’m definitely going to, it looks really cute 🥰
It is INCREDIBLE! After battling with my texture for my entire life, I feel like I finally found a line of products that WORKS👩🏼🦱
@@ImMalloryBrooke awesome I love kerastase products I’ll let you know how that works for me 💕💕
@@Pisces84 did it work
I’m here just trying to figure out how to style my daughters hair. It’s fine and has a loose curl to it. Vs my first born who has thick straight hair.
Omg I truly hope this helps❤️❤️❤️ So cute they have totally different hair types!!!
Helpful video, great technique, and I love your commentary/personality!
Thanks girl! Hope it was helpful
How do you avoid too much volume at the ends, or triangle shape? Is it in your cut? I have fine hair and have this issue when I center part. Love your center part.
yeah, that sounds like an issue with your cut. it sounds like your stylist needs to section your hair properly.
What are the strongest available home peels please since we need to be licensed to purchase Bioskin TCA for example?
Try Makeup Artists Choice TCA peel.
Thanks for the tips. You are gorgeous.. you look like Taylor Swift xoxo
hahaha thanks Mona!
Somehow I like curly hair on everyone, except ME! If I do go the curly hair route, after sleeping on it it turns into a gigantic mess. Sometimes it's easier to straighten, as it stays pretty straight as long as it doesn't get wet from humidity or sweating in hot climates. I can only look at myself curly for a day before I can't stand it another minute. Alot of people think it's easier to leave the hair curly, but I don't. If I straighten my hair I don't have to wash it again for 3 to 5 days as my hair is pretty thick. If its curly it's a daily routine, which is too time consuming. Thanks for the curly hair tips anyway. Love your videos contents...💖
Curly hair definitely takes more upkeep and I agree with you! When it comes to having a style last for a few days, a blow out and style lasts much longer.
What porosity do you have??
You look adorable with curls girl
I use Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner, which has silicones and sulphates...my hair loves it and it's certainly not GGM approved. All the GRM approved products made my hair dull, dry, frizzy.
Omg I totally forgot about the All Soft line! It’s SO GOOD!!! Gonna go pick that up again😱🫶
@Mallory Brooke It's soo good!!
How do you get your hair cut so that the curls aren’t flat in the back?
This cut was from a really good stylist in Houston. Unfortunately since moving to Arkansas, I cant find anyone with the same level of skill 🥲 Try to find someone who specializes in cutting curly hair💖
Yay, I tried it too ugh, found out my hair hates silk!!
🤣 oh no!!!
Mall I love you in curls you know that I love it❤️❤️😊😊✨️
I love YOU❤️
You’ve encouraged me to try product on my wavy hair again I tried the curly method and it wasn’t for me I need my heat for days I want a sleek look I don’t always want my hair curly! Plus time consuming! But! I do want to try now to dig my diffuser back out and use some product now that my hair is about your length to see if I can spring some life into my waves!
Let me know if you give your waves a chance soon!!! I love wearing my natural curls, but I much prefer a sleek blowout 👩🏼🦱🤣
@@ImMalloryBrooke I feel the same way! And a sleek blowout for me is usually easier and quicker vs curly ! I might try it soon but it sounds honestly sounds exhausting thinking about it hahaha
Hi Mallory, I'm new to your channel... My hair is fine /wavy so when I wash it, it gets like 'matted' on the ends...I leave the conditioner on a few minutes to take out tangles but still a problem.. Could you recommend a good conditioner that will provide 'slip' and a pre- treatment before you shampoo?
I recommend the Kerastase Curl Manifesto conditioner for the days you want to wear your natura curls, but Pureology Strength shampoo and conditioner is incredible for fine tangly hair. The shampoo isn’t drying, and also gives you a nice slip feel. I’ve been using these for years👏🏻
@@ImMalloryBrooke thanks Mallory for the tip. I will try the shampoo, hopefully it will help. Most appreciated 🙏
Hey, No gel no mousse?
Perfect timing for my wash dayyyyyy 👏🏻
