As a licensed cosmetologist, I will say that no one really teaches these crucial steps in school. I have naturally thin curly hair and have been doing half of the steps you do. With your knowledge in curly hair, I think you should have triple the subscribers. Add that to your channel. This was phenomenal. I seriously can’t wait to do my hair curly again! Thank you so much and I will share your channel. I now have a Dyson that works great but that diffuser looks awesome. I will also add that the reason why we don’t see this is because everyone is using the straightener. So this is definitely a good way to keep it healthy and natural looking. Good job!!
What a compliment! Im flattered :) Thank you and I agree, a lot of what I learned was out on the field working with curls rather than being taught by cosmo school. I will say though, having curly hair myself did help me understand curly/wavy hair in a special way. Also, I have a Dyson now and let me tell you... never going back! lol
I agree. School does nothing to teach the correct techniques and proper cuts for waves to coil hair types. I have natural med to tight spiral curls and was everyone’s Guinea pig model in school. We’d have guest teachers come in and they always wanted a go at me. No way, they still have this concept that they need to “tame” the curls and their only solution to that is to layer and thin the crap out of it and total go against the curl pattern and remove so much weight they wind up leaving it a thin, wispy mess, that they then try to cover up the poor cut by blowing it out straight. I’ve tried everything under the sun and now in my 50’s I’ve finally conquered the perfect routine with air drying and minimal heat applied. I get compliments daily and it’s the first thing people recognize about and remember me by (it’s like a living logo lol) Also if y’all are using anything other than a microfiber towel or old t-shirt y’all are creating breakage and frizz. Just like this stylist recommends.
@@sabrinabailey6437 Can you help me explain the benefits to my mum and convince her it's worth the money? I have a neg ion hairdryer and she thinks that should be good enough.
@@divahc1 That hair dryer costs more than a cellphone. If you're young enough to be having your mom get it for you, I'd probably wait. Believe me, I want one too, but I can't even though I have my own job. But yeah I agree it's amazing.
I am a single father to a six year old girl whose hair has become wavy this year, and my normal routine with her no longer works. I started searching for how I should style wavy hair for her and am so thankful to have found this video! I didn’t even know what a defuser was and have been doing conditioner completely wrong for her. Needless to say I learned a lot in this video, and have some product to buy. Great job and thank you!
I wish EITHER of my parents had taught me how to handle my curls! I did exactly what I saw my sister and mom do (they have stick straight hair) and I had a huge afro and braces in highschool as a result. So embarrassing omg....way to go for being such a considerate dad!
Awww!!! Love to see your comment! It’s easier to say “I don’t know what I’m doing so I’m not going to deal with it” but instead, you decided to take the time to learn. It beats my dads vacuum pony tails on my little sister (many years ago before TH-cam was big)🤣 My dad did his best by using his creativity 👨🏻🎨
I just wish I could find a hairdresser who would take as much time to do such a brilliant job at styling my wavy hair. Stunning outcome and such a professional hair expert.
@@sabrinabailey6437 I found a curl specialist, but they don't actually seem to know anything about wavy hair, which drives me crazy. Way too much product on hair that's way too dry to begin styling. Sigh.
I agree. After learning how to do my curly hair routine, I basically had to teach my hairstylist what to do because she didn’t know how to do curly hair. Even after that, it still didn’t turn out right. I love my stylist, but I need someone who knows how to deal with my hair. It’s definitely intimidating to think about looking for a new one though.
You are amazing! So many hair stylists (most I've ever gone to, actually) treat wavies as though we have straight hair. They seem to have been taught our hair is wrong instead of how they're treating it.
Went in for a cut and color and made sure to tell her my hair was wavy/curly, but I was coming in on third day hair. She painfully raked her fingers through all my knots and said "Hmm, I don't think so. I think it's just knotted and you aren't using any heat tools." When she gave me a blowout and it came out straight, she was quick to tell me that my hair was actually straight and I just needed to take better care of it. Smh.
@@litleangelbrook So painful to read 🫠 My experience is that every hairdresser told me that my hair is super dry and damaged when the frizzy poofy look was actually only because I used to always brush and blow dry it when I didn’t know that my hair was very wavy and I needed to style it differently. One time a hair dresser even said it needs to be cut a lot (and I believed him 🥲) because he thought it looked like that due to extreme damage. I’m still a tiny bit mad because he has curly hair himself and didn’t realize my waves at all in 10 years of going to him. My mom and I had to tell him that our hair is and always has been wavy after finding out everything thanks to the internet.
So true! It’s sad really. I wish I could rely on my stylist to treat my waves so I do t have to walk out with either poodle scrunch or a blow out . Ugh
Yes! I went into a stylist once and they noticed the subtle waves in my hair. I told them I had a hard time getting the waves to really come out, they said they could help. I told them my hair does not like heavy products or heat but they insisted that was the only way. Guess what, my hair was pin straight by the end and they said, "Oh, we were wrong, your hair is straight." Exasperating ☹️. But I've been working on my waves at home and they've been really becoming more pronounced. Only mistake I made was I gave myself a trim and ended up separating my curl families (I didn't know about that yet).
I’ve only recently started to embrace the fact my hair has waves and the HATE we wavies get for saying we’ve got curlyish hair is unbelievable!!! I have this exact same hair and some of it curls some of it just waves and finding any info out there is quite hard. I’m actually excited to do my hair again!! I’ve learned SO much thank you for putting this out there!!!
It's really interesting how possessive some people are about "curly" hair! Like it's an elite club or something! 😅 What I would love to see are videos with shorter wavy hair. Last time I got my hair cut, I asked the stylist to style my hair curly. The stylist looked at me like I was from another planet and said, "In the salon, we blow dry for volume, not waves." I couldn't believe it!
@@Zombina638 a lot of ppl with 2c hair have tons of curls mixed in with their waves. i have like 50/50 waves and curls. i say my hair is wavy curly so ppl like u don’t have a meltdown. but anyone else who isn’t perpetually online would look at me and say my hairs curly
I'm SO glad this popped up on my feed! This is exactly how my hair looks pre-wash and post-styling. I've ALWAYS thought that I had straight hair. Being Asian, without any access to biological family members, it's never been something that I thought of until this year. I remember I've always hated brushing my hair because it went poofy and I wasn't sure what was wrong since it wasn't obviously curly. Even after I discovered I had wavy hair, I kept doubting myself, even when I saw other Wavies on socials since theirs always seemed to be more obviously wavy without any product. Whereas mine could look pretty straight. But seeing the before and after pictures on this really helped me realize that I really DO have wavy hair. Thank you so much!!
Same experience! I'm Asian also and had my first curly cut and it really did enhance my waves. Then I went to get highlights from my Asian stylist before and she tried to convince me I was mistaken about having wavy hair. The amount of Asian stylists who treat almost all Asians like we have bad straight hair. No it's not unruly straight hair, it's just not straight and you just don't have enough education. I told her how I always thought I had straight hair but it was actually just wavy hair that wasn't cared for right and it looked frizzy and puffy. She did not believe me. 😑
Ir u are a wavy girl, I HIGHLY recomend u to follow this tutorial. Its been 2 years i discovered my wavy hair, and still these days I didnt liked how my hair turned out after styling it. I followed tons of different wavy routines and I was always dissapointed cuz my hair never turned out as good as in the video. Now, I can confirm this is the BEST wavy sair tutorial/routine and im finally satisfied and happy about my hair (; Its hydrated, its shine, the curls are absolutely stunning, and i have 0 frizz Thanks ❤
I’ve had so many people tell me “if you have to do all this you don’t have wavy hair”. Like my hair wouldn’t look like the frizzy mess it is if I didn’t have wavy hair, just let me do what I need to do to take care of it damn 😭
Exactly like if you’re hair is straight all of this would still fall flat. It’s ok to have a hair routine to help your natural waves do more to thrive, idk y ppl care
It's like ok let the weather not hit it then. If it's not that, don't let me sweat then. Bc otherwise, I heat damaged my hair for nothing. & At least a cruncher thing, I'm assuming it can be in a cold setting, isn't directly put on my hair. Going wavy/ curly has got to be way healthier
I love that you explain the why through each step. Sometimes I never really understand why to do things or why not to so it's really helpful to understand the meaning behind it :)
This was so incredibly helpful. My hair completely changed after being pregnant from pin straight to super tight waves and no hair stylist has been able to help give me a good routine and recommended products. I will definitely be trying this! Thanks!
Mine changed after a hysterectomy, it was straight before and now it is very wavy to definite curls. I love it, I just wish I could get it past the friz
Same girl! Two babies later and suddenly air drying my hair looked like a puffy straw mess! I’ve been on a wavy journey since and there’s so much influencer info that seeing an actual professional IN A SALON support our hair needs is AMAZING!
My become wavy in the middle of puberty when thyroid problems started. Last couple of years my thyroid is worse than ever, because of huge amount of stress, and my hair is almost curly. I was dreaming of hair like that as a little girl but it's a hell to make it look nice. I just want to wash it and let it air dry without looking like a lion when it's dry. It reminds me now, when we were swimming as a kids, girls with wavy or curly hair didn't have those problems, their hair was amazing after. Now i have to wonder why? Is it because kids hair is healthier or something else...🤔
Thank you for this video. I have wavy s shape hair. Always wanted to keep that shape. Never was taught what to do. Setting hair on rollers was what everyone did to my hair which just gave me a curly look and no waes. Thank you again.
Thank you thank you thank you for this tutorial!!!! My whole life until 38 I had straight hair. After one of my babies it then just got progressively wavier. Hairdressers have not really helped with the waves. Because my hair is in between waves and curls, no one’s advice or product has been perfect. I tried your above method and…blessed shock…my husband, kids, and I just about fell over, jaw dropping difference! I am now 51, it took 12 years to find you :-0. Thank you for this. Please please add a day 2, 3, 4 refresh, how to protect it in sleep, etc etc. Also would love to know all your product suggestions. We in between girls need you! So many women who have hormone changes are in the same boat. You are my new best friend ;-)
My mom got curly hair after I was born too! She struggled for a long time too and I'm learning about my deceptively straight hair and how I think there's waves hidden in there
This was great. I’ve had straight hair my entire life and have worn it short for 25 years. When Covid hit I decided to grow it out and to my shock it was wavy (almost exactly like the girl in this video). I think it was probably hormone change when I started menopause (1st cousins have wavy hair too). I’ve been at a complete loss. From finding out my curl number to shampoo and conditioner (I’ve never had to use conditioner before), then what product do I put in my hair at what stage and how to refresh it the next day. I’m such a newbie at this. I think I’ll have to find a new salon that has staff that specialize in curly hair. All these straight hair girls around me, no one can help. I’m going to try your method tomorrow and pray for success. Update: Yes! It worked. I used products I have currently and first added the foam then curl cream while I was still standing in the tub. Squeezed it in like you shown, used my microfiber turban to squeeze out the excess and then wrapped my hair up in it. Took it off about 30 minutes later and had those wonderful curl clumps. Then let air dry. Thank you! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber. 😁
The part about what product to add at what stage and how to refresh! That's the start off of this journey isn't it?!? I just found out how to care for my waves/curls and I'm currently figuring it all out too 🥰🥰
I too had Covid and my hair has gone wavy curly. I have thick hair, heavier curls underneath. I went thru menopause 20 years ago. The only thing I can think of is I had Covid twice, 2 and 3 years ago. I had short hair and quit coloring and started growing it out again 3 years ago. I’m trying to find the right products for my dry curly thick hair and how to get it looking healthier.
I recently discovered that my hair is wavy but I’ve been experiencing so much frizz vs when it was “straight.” This video is absolutely helpful and I love how you explained why you were doing what you were. Her hair looked amazing at the end! I’m definitely going to incorporate your methods into my hair routine. Thank you!
How did you know your hair was wavy? I have always thought I have straight hair but it’s also a little wavy so I’m confused. I tried scrunching my hair with a t shirt and defusing it and it was actually wavy so I’ve been wondering how to tell so I can take care of my hair the right way.
@TS_Forever13 if you scrunch it wet, and it curls you have curly hair. Wavy is just a less curly version. Congrats on your wavy hair! Mine is the same way but after using the diffuser my curls are coming back!
I have the same type of hair as this girl and this video is blowing my mind. I’ve never seen such a good detailed video with a professional who actually KNOWS how to make wavy hair look its best. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
So grateful you shared this! 100% of the stylists I’ve visited over the decades ignore my wave/curls so I’ve never learned how to properly care for them. Now I do! Thank you
this is unbelievable! You truly ARE an expert in styling/treating/managing curly hair! I cant believe the result and everything you were doing! No salon has ever done this to my curly hair. Amazing!
I’ve been a hairstylist for 18 years, this is such a great video for clients to watch. Often times my curly clients want me straighten it for them, which I understand. I’m definitely going to tell them to check out your channel! Thanks for making this great video!
I love how gentle this demonstration was too :’) Thank you for not only caring but teaching well about wavy to curly hair types! Natural haircare is just that, with gentle & lovingly natural regimes.
As a wavy girl, I’m so glad I found your channel!!! I loved this tutorial and being able to see the prep and styling from all angles. I learned so much!! Thank-you for sharing this with us!!! ❤️
This is the best & most realistic video I've seen! My hair is wavy & thick, and I don't have patience to be finger coiling every little piece or any of that extra stuff. Thank you so much! I'm excited to try these tips out!
I’ve been using this technique now for some years and have very thic wavy hair and it works reaalllyyy well! It depends on the product how long the waves are staying in but there are some parts off my hair that get really curly with this method. I can really recommend trying it. Also it takes the hair some time to get used to the method. When I straighten my hair they need some washes to get curly again
I'd been putting my hair up in my Perfect Haircare towel to get some of the water out, THEN using my stylers! I will bring them over to the shower, apply, THEN get the excess water out of my hair! Thanks for a great video!!
I AM SO IMPRESSED. This is literally my hair type but I have struggled so much with how to manage my hair so I’ve been cutting my hair short these past few years and now I am trying to grow it out again. I will definitely use these tips! You have been so helpful!
Right?! I've cut my hair 3 times into a pixie over the last 10 years because I'd get some good hair some days and others just untamable flairs. Just now discovering it's because we have to care for it properly?! So excited to come across all of this information. I give God all the Glory!!
So I just tried this technique with my thin/hair loss head and HOLY HELL!!!! I have not had my hair this full or curly since I was a child before becoming disabled. All of the medications I have to take have ruined my once curly hair to overly thin, brittle hair. I am smiling so much right now, you don't even know! Thank you so so much for teaching us!!!
This is so helpful!! I love that you not only say what you're doing, but also WHY. I've always heard these things about not using very hot water, or using conditioner on the ends rather than right at the scalp, but never the actual reasoning behind it. Your explanations make it both easier to remember what to do (because it involves logical reasoning and not just memorization of instructions), and also makes me understand what I'm doing so I don't feel like I'm just naively performing some kind of superstitious ritual and hoping it works. Thank you!!!
So glad this popped up as recommend! Shared with my daughter we both have wavy to curly hair. We've both tried to go on our curly hair journey, but we just can never quite get the results we want. Gonna try some of these things!!!
This just popped up on my feed and THANK YOU!!! For so long I’ve been wondering how to properly care for my wavy-curly hair as i’d been taught you’ve either got curls or nothing. This video is so informative and wonderful
Wow! I'm wavy and I love the results. I use this routine since last winter and it works actually, although our water is hard. I added a raspberry vinegar conditioner to my routine about one week ago and I see more results. Thanks for sharing this
Um, this video is amazing. So informative yet straight to the point. Not a ton of videos on wavy hair on here, and certainly not many that are actually helpful. This is the best video I’ve seen…..and I’ve binged a lot. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Sabrina! This really breaks down a wash day for a wavy girl like me. Other people’s videos are way too complicated I love how you broke it down thank you so much girl
I have to say I just discovered I have wavy hair 😬 wondered why it was frizzy my whole life 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅 so this is day 3 of figuring this out. This has been the most detailed video I have seen so fair and I did not know about the clumping thing or frizzy (still working on it lol) life saver my hair really loved conditioner ❤
Take time with your hair and figure out what works for you. It took me over a year to figure out my hair, I just barely made progress last week. I found that creams and gels weighed my hair down sooo much. I started using Wave Maker from DevaCurl (I know the brand is controversial) and a volumizing foam from them as well. Then I put it up in a loose bun overnight and the outcome is beautiful.
It's getting there lol trial and error lol learning more about my hair and what it likes and what not to do is a weird combo to figure out and the no touchy thing is hard lol
I'm at my split (wits) end. I have really frizzy highlighted high density fine hair and so far so frizzy. Though I see I've been doing more wrong than right.
This is thee first video I've seen that's shown how to wash and dry fine, curly hair without making it frizzy, and I found it so helpful! I was always so jealous of all the people I saw diffusing their thick, curly hair because I haven't been able to do that without looking like Hagrid. I'm definitely going to try the hairspray trick!
the end results turned out gorgeous! I also have wavy/curly hair and I rarely ever pixie diffuse, I mostly just hover diffuse. pixie diffusing usually creates wonky curls for me, especially at the ends, which I noticed started to happen in this video.
Recently my hair texture changed, from being absolutely straight to getting waves and defined curls in the front and only a bit more volume in the back of my head. The only thing I started doing when I realized was to go in with my hand after the shower, no product or anything. Now I know exactly what I have to do and maybe I can get the back of my hair to curl a bit and make it even 😅 Thank you for uploading this! I feel like wavy hair is not talked about enough since everyone says it's just frizzy or straight. And even curly people know how to style theirs better since it's pretty obvious they had curly hair from the beginning and had to learn how to style it properly or else it would be a mess. So there is a huge need for this type of content on TH-cam. The wavy girls have arrived!!
Thank you I will try this! I have the same wavy hair but I can’t seem to get the waves to hold, when I leave it straight out of the shower it is mixed with straight and waves and a lot of frizz, so I am glad to stumble upon this video!
Tried other wash routines but they just made my hair frizzy and loose my curls, THIS is the routine that made my hair so pretty if you try any routine on the internet try this one!
Thank you for explaining this. I have always had frizzy somewhat wavy hair. As I’ve gotten older my hair is starting to curl. This routine is just what I needed.
Only a few minutes in, but I really appreciate that after every tip, you explain the reasoning behind it! I'm just starting my curly hair journey, I've been brushing and blow drying my hair straight for as long as I can remember, so it never even occured to me that my hair might be curly or wavy. My hair is down to my butt, and relatively fine, so the longer layers are weighed down, and its been a bit of a fight, but hopefully I can give my my hair the love and care it needs to see some of my natural texture!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WORKED FOR MY HAIR, (It's even super short right now) and it STILL WORKED!! Nobody in my fam has a hairtype similar for me so I didn't know how to take care of it. I've been looking for over 2 years, this helped so much. Thank you!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Will try this exact routine next wash day! I thought my hair was straight for all my life but it kept getting more and more frizzy. Now I know I have wavy / curly hair and just treated it wrong the whole time
My daughter has wavy/curly hair I’m gonna try this on her. Her waves aren’t as cute as they were when she was Toddler. Thank you so much for this advice! Great video! ❤
i’m mixed and don’t have big curly hair like my sibling does, it would always just be fluffy and frizzy so i constantly ironed it to make it straight till i realized it was just really wavy. now i’m on my lil hair care journey to make my natural hair the best it can be ❤
This was insanely simple and well explained. Always had curly hair as a kid, and since realising it’s not actually a bush but just very untamed waves I’ve been trying SO hard to get my waves/curls back. This video has been really helpful in explaining where I could be going wrong and what I can try. Thank you so much for making it!
Great video! I have "unknowingly" done some of these exact things to my hair to make the curls appear, really nice to get professional tips to add to my routine. I have some sensory issues and I don't like to use a hair dryer, my hair is shorter so it dries fast without, but I'll recommend this video to long haired ladies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is one of the best videos I have seen on setting curls. I love that you did not overload the hair with products. You made it very simple and explained it very well.
I am a natural redhead in my 40s, and since I was a toddler I had one wavy section in the back of my hair while the rest was straight. When I hit my 20s that section became a tight wave/coil, then in my mid 30s to now the wave started slowly moving towards the front of my hair. I was gettin a relaxer in the back, since the front section wouldn’t even hold any curl. I decided to forgo the relaxer after 20 years and attempt to get the wave to hold in the front while keeping the back from being a frizzy mess. This feels like a good combo of techniques I’ve seen previously for my “complicated” hair and I can’t wait to try it!
Haidresser here since the mid 80's Been doing similar method since the early 90's. I find it works and looks better if you don't spend so much time perfecting the underneath layers with head upside down. Leave that area damp and flip head back right side up. If you want volume on top just tilt head from side to side or lean back on chair. This way you can see exactly how the outer layers are behaving and you can gently adjust and perfect each tendril.
Yes, this is what I learned from styling my hair as well. Upside down drying make my curls/waves in the front messy, whereas with the side-to-side and leaning-back methods I can pay closer attention to the top layer of curls all around (which are also the most damaged/frizzy from being exposed to the sun all day). That's IF I'm drying it with heat. Honestly, my hair always looks better when I just let it air dry, then give the roots a bit of a lift with my fingers, but my hair is much thicker and more plentiful than this person's hair, so that probably makes it easier to get volume.
So, my hair naturally has a wave and curl to it. However, over the years, I have had the HARDEST time keeping them actually there! Half the time, half my hair will be far straighter than the rest!! I thought my hair was just losing its touch, because I couldn’t find anything that was helping me… BUT I didn’t know about this! I CANT WAIT to try it out!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you for the tips! I have wavy/curly hair and all my life I hated it because no one else in my family has wavy hair so I’d straighten the life out of it. Wasn’t till the past year I began to embrace my wavy hair and what it could be with proper care. No one ever taught me this. Thank you thank you thank you!!! 😊
THANK YOU!!! after I saw this, I went out the next day to buy some products, and even though I bought drugstore brands, it still worked amazingly!! I have been trying desperately to learn to style my waves correctly, and I'm extremely proud to say that now, at 26, I am a million steps closer!!!
thank you so much for this video! i have wavy/curly hair, but always straightened it growing cause i thought it was just frizz. barely starting to embrace my curls, and this video was informative! thank goodness wash day is tomorrow, so excited to try this out on my waves/curls!
I remember my dad always telling me I have straight hair but as I grew up I started to develop my curls. And I have recently become engrossed with how to treat my hair right and especially since I am from a mixed family I know my hair can be so much more than the frizzy, puffy, catastrophe it is now 😂 thank you so much for this video! I’ve learned so much and I’m so excited for my curly hair journey
So happy to see this today, my hair looks like the left and while I have a hard time holding my arms up to do everything you did maybe there is some hope that I can bring back some curl yet.
I love this! No one ever told me this! That's why my hair is frizzy! OMG! I can't wait to do this!! I've always put the a cotton towel to wrap my hair to soak out the water! Just the opposite of what I should have been doing!
I'm so excited to try this! I've found bits and pieces of information from various tutorials that kind encompass what you did here - but not to such a thorough degree and easy to understand instructions on why you do it this way. I could listen to you talk for hours! You sound so sweet and informative. ❤
Straight hair my whole life and kids and now I'm my 40's and it kept getting frizzy which I never had my whole life and realized its slightly wavy. This tutorial was phenomenal by the way, her hair came out stunning!!! Bravo to your hairstylist!
I have been trying the CGM for two and a half years as a 2a-2c. Your video really helped remind me of what I quit doing and to go back and try it again. I totally respect the whole Black hair care industry and all the products and techniques that have been developed over the years and thank all of you for the wisdom you so freely share with us Caucasian wavys and curlies who never knew what to do to enhance our textures. I was adding some “ethnic” products to my routine only semi-successfully before finding the CGM. I still struggle to get a look on wash day that I would want to wear in public and end up looking best on day 2 when my curls turn more to waves and the frizz is brushed into my waves. Yes, I do brush! My hair does not tangle. It has never been straightened, permed, dyed, teased, or anything and is silky smooth even in its frizzy waves and spirals. Your tips today reminded me of things I can do to combat frizz and I can’t wait to try and see if I can make it work. Thank you so much for this wavy video!
this helped so much. i recently got my hair bleached and dyed and the stylist had no clue how to style my hair and i left the salon looking a frizzy mess 😔. it’s been hard to get my waves back since then but this helped so much!! thank you!!
Every time I go get my fine wavy hair done I leave looking like a frizzy mess (even when I went to a $$$ instagram-famous curl expert), it’s frustrating because I don’t like to straighten my hair. This was lovely.
This was amazing and informative As someone who has fine, wavy hair I never knew to do all of these steps! I’ve been embracing my natural wavy hair for awhile but never knew how to make my waves look strong and healthy.. until now ! 😊
i have naturally curly hair and i hate putting tons of products in it. i'd love to see a real wash and go with less product, because its such a process that its just easier for me to straighten it.
@@sarahjane6015 if you don't wash it you still have to refresh it and somehow re-style it, and sometimes add dry shampoo. And you can't sleep with your hair down. This is so much work it doesn't make sense to me. It's so time consuming and expensive.
@@violetaviana1888 same, its really not wash and go, and with natural curls, there's like no real way to just wash and go that i can find so i straighten it because its less maintenance
Wow!!!! I absolutely love how you explained. A client with genuine care of her hair and her natural curls, this is very hard to find these days at hair salons. I must say I just purchased the products you suggested and I’m SUPER EXCITED to try them. Thanks to you, your curl knowledge and kindness in your video I finally learned professional tricks on what to do with my curls. Love what you do, KEEP GOING. Best wishes to you and your family in life and business. Regards from Aus.
I was born with really tight curls but as I got older I just lost them. Whenever I get my hair layered and shorter it’s easier for my curls to come back but I’ve never found an actual routine to make them how they used to be . I have a very similar curl pattern to the girl in the video so that helps a lot
My hair looked like hers at the beginning, but it always flattens out throughout the day and goes back to it. I have a diffuser, but I live where you can’t access products like that. What are your tips for sleeping, and do you approve of sea salt spray? I LOVE THAT YOU SHOW THAT HER HAIR IS WAVY BECAUSE US WHOS HAIR LOOK LIKE HERS FROM THE BEGINNING, PEOPLE JUST ASSUME ITS STRAIGHT. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING AWARENESS ❤
Use a silkbonnet to sleep, I have thin hair so my curls are really sensitiv but this works add a little hair wax and hair Spray but only on day one to fixate the curls helps wonders And use hair oil every other day but only a little tiny bit
I really wish I was in NY! I have part wavy and part curly hair. When I got the salon they either want to straighten it or they want to put a dime size amount of gel and send me on my way. An hour later I look like a frizz ball 🤦 glad we live in the age of TH-cam!
Beautiful results! I'm a naturally curly girl, and I will definitely try your method! I have straightened my hair a lot with a straigtening iron, and when I want to wear it curly, it seems that it has lost its curl pattern memory. So I've been doing robe curls and love the way it works. However, the curls don't look nearly as hydrated and juicy as what you have demonstrated in your video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I do some of this for my curls from trial and error(s) but learned tons of new tips here. I didn't know that about the warm water. I'm contemplating adding diffuser. Definitely adding a T-shirt! Thanks so much for the in depth info.
I was so inspired (and relaxed...such a zen video) by this that I hopped in the shower immediately to try out these tips with products I had on hand but hadn't really known how to use. I AM AMAZED!!!!!! I shampoo with Redken Volume Injection. I am trying to use up a bottle of Olaplex conditioner, but I had a trial size of Living Proof Restore Repair Mask, so I used that for my conditioner instead. I clipped my hair up and let that sit for 5-7 minutes. Then, I used a wet brush to comb through my hair in sections like you demonstrated, making sure to use lots of water. Then I turned the shower off, flipped my hair over, and scrunched it with Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam. I added a step, brushing through my hair with a Denman brush with tips I'd seen in other videos, just to ensure I really distributed the mousse and did a little extra twirling to my hair. I flipped my hair over again and scrunched in Living Proof Curl Definer cream, which I had gotten a trial size of. Then, I used a microfiber towel to scrunch the extra water out. I sprayed the heck out of my hair with hairspray (I have fine wavy hair, and am used to seeing my curls fall), and diffused my hair upside down. I have NEVER seen my curls look SO curly, so shiny, or so frizz-free. I am literally SO tickled. My husband is laughing because I keep going to take pictures of my hair. THANK YOU for such a lovely video guide. Your explanations of why you are doing each step in a specific way was so helpful. I'll be sharing with all my wavy-haired friends!
I would love to have you wash my hair! I learned so much from your video. I had straight hair when I was young, but now with gray hair, I have a hot mess of frizz no matter what. I always air dry my hair, sometimes use hot rollers, doesn't matter. What works best for wavy gray hair?
What I find best with wavy gray hair is lots of moisture and diffusing. Also if you want to be a little fancy I'd invest in a hooded dryer, that helps dry your waves quickly without frizz.
Oh my god finally found someone with the same hair wave, I am so lost, thank you for this video, you did incredible on her hair and I will try this as well!.
For some reason, as I get older, my hair is getting much curlier. This video is extremely helpful! Thank you so much. Now maybe I can escape frizzville.
Such a helpful and informative video! I have similar texture to your model. One question: how do you transition from styling upside down to upright? When I’ve tried upside down styling all the hair sticks to the back of my head and doesn’t fall nicely at all.
I think you need to grow it out. In the mean time, maybe you can section your hair when you style instead so that you can style the hair in the back properly?
I am so grateful that I saw your video on my feed!!! I have always thought i had straight hair, but then i noticed my hair was wavy when wet and then it got frizzy after i brushed it out when it was dry. I researched ways to maintain it and I found that i should use mousse and maybe gel. No other routine worked as well as your routine. Just did it and my hair looks fabulous! And my boyfriend likes it too! ❤😂 💓
i think you'll get conflicting information by many hair stylists. it depends on who you ask. if you close the cuticle it will seal everything in there. which is why i think Olaplex #3 does the grunt of the work versus all the aftercare products. Bc you want to open the cuticle, use it, and seal it. then use low heat tools to style so you don't damage it, fade your color, etc. which is what mine advises me. But I do like everything else aside from that mentioned in this
Omg thank you so much for this video! Lately I’ve been trying to bring out my curls/waves but whatever I tried it just didn’t work. This video made me realize that I need to be more patient, especially when diffusing my hair. Also that I should be using hairspray while diffusing. That definetely helped me with my frizz and the volume of my hair.
I’ve begun trying to get my hair healthy and to love it in its natural state, and my goal is to have long healthy hair. My hair is curly and has I think 3 different patterns to it. My crown area is a more wavy, my mid and underside is more curly loose 1inch curls , and I have a cross section in the back from one ear to the nape of my neck that’s tighter and more like half inch ringlet curls. I don’t claim to know too much on curl, and it’s been very difficult for me to know exactly how to care for it. My hair is pretty fine, but I have a LOT of it. Like 1/4 of my head is still a 1” ponytail. Your videos have helped me so much in learning how to keep my hair healthy and my curls to be defined and less frizzy and I’m so so thankful I came across your channel. My mom has had pretty straight hair so I’ve not had anyone really to teach me how to work with my curls, and most stylists I’ve come across in salons just don’t seem to know how to work with it either lol. Thank you so much
I need another curly stylist in my life. I stopped straightening my hair during COVID and the stylist I used before doesn’t do curly well. When she gets ahold of my hair I turn out really poofy with not much definition. She uses a diffuser but I think she’s used to doing it for people with less full hair. Part of my issue is I have so many different curl patterns I have some full ringlets about the size of a finger and some waves. My underneath hair on my neck gets pinky sized ringlets. Sometimes it seems like it depends on the day what they want to do. Makes me remember why I started flat ironing in the first place.
Have you tried finger coiling allllll your hair?? I know it’s time consuming, but your layers on top might just need more time with curly friendly products, sleeping in a silk bonnet, using a cotton t-shirt after your shower, etc…..and finger coiling before diffusing. Just a thought……it’s all such a journey!!
i tried this routine with maui coconut curl shampoo and conditioner and the results are nothing short of incredible. i'll have to wait a few weeks (or months) for my hair to heal after a lifetime of mistreating it, but i'm so damn happy with it. thank you so much for this video! my hair is so soft and fluffy and actually looks good. i needed this routine so much
Would you happen to know if the foam stuff she uses is more like a curl cream or a moose? I don't have the foam and I'm seeing if I have an alternative lol!
Nunca usei nenhum produto da Wella porque aqui no Brasil é caríssimo! Mas lógico que usar bons produtos dá muita diferença. O cabelo dela ficou lindo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm going to try this, I have always had frizzy wavy hair and when I was young I straightened it every day. I had NO clue I was able to style it, or that I even could. I am so thankful for this. I will update with how it went!
As a licensed cosmetologist, I will say that no one really teaches these crucial steps in school. I have naturally thin curly hair and have been doing half of the steps you do. With your knowledge in curly hair, I think you should have triple the subscribers. Add that to your channel. This was phenomenal. I seriously can’t wait to do my hair curly again! Thank you so much and I will share your channel. I now have a Dyson that works great but that diffuser looks awesome. I will also add that the reason why we don’t see this is because everyone is using the straightener. So this is definitely a good way to keep it healthy and natural looking. Good job!!
What a compliment! Im flattered :) Thank you and I agree, a lot of what I learned was out on the field working with curls rather than being taught by cosmo school. I will say though, having curly hair myself did help me understand curly/wavy hair in a special way. Also, I have a Dyson now and let me tell you... never going back! lol
I agree. School does nothing to teach the correct techniques and proper cuts for waves to coil hair types. I have natural med to tight spiral curls and was everyone’s Guinea pig model in school.
We’d have guest teachers come in and they always wanted a go at me. No way, they still have this concept that they need to “tame” the curls and their only solution to that is to layer and thin the crap out of it and total go against the curl pattern and remove so much weight they wind up leaving it a thin, wispy mess, that they then try to cover up the poor cut by blowing it out straight.
I’ve tried everything under the sun and now in my 50’s I’ve finally conquered the perfect routine with air drying and minimal heat applied. I get compliments daily and it’s the first thing people recognize about and remember me by (it’s like a living logo lol)
Also if y’all are using anything other than a microfiber towel or old t-shirt y’all are creating breakage and frizz. Just like this stylist recommends.
@@sabrinabailey6437 Can you help me explain the benefits to my mum and convince her it's worth the money? I have a neg ion hairdryer and she thinks that should be good enough.
@@divahc1 That hair dryer costs more than a cellphone. If you're young enough to be having your mom get it for you, I'd probably wait. Believe me, I want one too, but I can't even though I have my own job. But yeah I agree it's amazing.
@CC_SniperGirl lol! I'm 61 years old!
I am a single father to a six year old girl whose hair has become wavy this year, and my normal routine with her no longer works. I started searching for how I should style wavy hair for her and am so thankful to have found this video! I didn’t even know what a defuser was and have been doing conditioner completely wrong for her. Needless to say I learned a lot in this video, and have some product to buy. Great job and thank you!
Awww! So sweet I’m happy to hear this has helped you and your daughter.
You are such a blessing! Learning how to take care of your daughter in all aspects of her life is so admirable
I wish EITHER of my parents had taught me how to handle my curls! I did exactly what I saw my sister and mom do (they have stick straight hair) and I had a huge afro and braces in highschool as a result. So embarrassing omg....way to go for being such a considerate dad!
Awww!!! Love to see your comment! It’s easier to say “I don’t know what I’m doing so I’m not going to deal with it” but instead, you decided to take the time to learn. It beats my dads vacuum pony tails on my little sister (many years ago before TH-cam was big)🤣 My dad did his best by using his creativity 👨🏻🎨
Youre awesome for caring and trying. So many dads and even moms just remain clueless because theyre busy or whatever.
I just wish I could find a hairdresser who would take as much time to do such a brilliant job at styling my wavy hair. Stunning outcome and such a professional hair expert.
Thank you! So sweet, hoping you can find a curl specialist in your area :)
That is exactly what I was thinking! I have NEVER seen a stylist do this for curly hair!
@@sabrinabailey6437 I found a curl specialist, but they don't actually seem to know anything about wavy hair, which drives me crazy. Way too much product on hair that's way too dry to begin styling. Sigh.
Thats so trueee
I agree. After learning how to do my curly hair routine, I basically had to teach my hairstylist what to do because she didn’t know how to do curly hair. Even after that, it still didn’t turn out right. I love my stylist, but I need someone who knows how to deal with my hair. It’s definitely intimidating to think about looking for a new one though.
You are amazing! So many hair stylists (most I've ever gone to, actually) treat wavies as though we have straight hair. They seem to have been taught our hair is wrong instead of how they're treating it.
YES! Since wavies straddle between the wavy and straight characteristics, a stylist that only knows straight will continue to treat it as such.
Went in for a cut and color and made sure to tell her my hair was wavy/curly, but I was coming in on third day hair. She painfully raked her fingers through all my knots and said "Hmm, I don't think so. I think it's just knotted and you aren't using any heat tools." When she gave me a blowout and it came out straight, she was quick to tell me that my hair was actually straight and I just needed to take better care of it. Smh.
@@litleangelbrook So painful to read 🫠 My experience is that every hairdresser told me that my hair is super dry and damaged when the frizzy poofy look was actually only because I used to always brush and blow dry it when I didn’t know that my hair was very wavy and I needed to style it differently. One time a hair dresser even said it needs to be cut a lot (and I believed him 🥲) because he thought it looked like that due to extreme damage. I’m still a tiny bit mad because he has curly hair himself and didn’t realize my waves at all in 10 years of going to him. My mom and I had to tell him that our hair is and always has been wavy after finding out everything thanks to the internet.
So true! It’s sad really. I wish I could rely on my stylist to treat my waves so I do t have to walk out with either poodle scrunch or a blow out . Ugh
Yes! I went into a stylist once and they noticed the subtle waves in my hair. I told them I had a hard time getting the waves to really come out, they said they could help. I told them my hair does not like heavy products or heat but they insisted that was the only way. Guess what, my hair was pin straight by the end and they said, "Oh, we were wrong, your hair is straight." Exasperating ☹️. But I've been working on my waves at home and they've been really becoming more pronounced. Only mistake I made was I gave myself a trim and ended up separating my curl families (I didn't know about that yet).
I’ve only recently started to embrace the fact my hair has waves and the HATE we wavies get for saying we’ve got curlyish hair is unbelievable!!! I have this exact same hair and some of it curls some of it just waves and finding any info out there is quite hard. I’m actually excited to do my hair again!! I’ve learned SO much thank you for putting this out there!!!
It's really interesting how possessive some people are about "curly" hair! Like it's an elite club or something! 😅 What I would love to see are videos with shorter wavy hair. Last time I got my hair cut, I asked the stylist to style my hair curly. The stylist looked at me like I was from another planet and said, "In the salon, we blow dry for volume, not waves." I couldn't believe it!
I have waves and even if I straighten it, it gets frizzy and waves again. I’ve been told countless times I have straight hair 🥲
U guys dont have curls tho? Just waves, so ur not apart of us curly girls
@@Zombina638 heartbreaking honestly
@@Zombina638 a lot of ppl with 2c hair have tons of curls mixed in with their waves. i have like 50/50 waves and curls. i say my hair is wavy curly so ppl like u don’t have a meltdown. but anyone else who isn’t perpetually online would look at me and say my hairs curly
I'm SO glad this popped up on my feed! This is exactly how my hair looks pre-wash and post-styling. I've ALWAYS thought that I had straight hair. Being Asian, without any access to biological family members, it's never been something that I thought of until this year. I remember I've always hated brushing my hair because it went poofy and I wasn't sure what was wrong since it wasn't obviously curly. Even after I discovered I had wavy hair, I kept doubting myself, even when I saw other Wavies on socials since theirs always seemed to be more obviously wavy without any product. Whereas mine could look pretty straight. But seeing the before and after pictures on this really helped me realize that I really DO have wavy hair. Thank you so much!!
Dude, forget the video, your comment made me feel so fing seen!
THISS
Growing up I always thought something was wrong with my hair because Asian hair is supposed to be straight and not the triangle of frizz mine was.
Same, same, same
Same experience! I'm Asian also and had my first curly cut and it really did enhance my waves. Then I went to get highlights from my Asian stylist before and she tried to convince me I was mistaken about having wavy hair. The amount of Asian stylists who treat almost all Asians like we have bad straight hair. No it's not unruly straight hair, it's just not straight and you just don't have enough education. I told her how I always thought I had straight hair but it was actually just wavy hair that wasn't cared for right and it looked frizzy and puffy. She did not believe me. 😑
Ir u are a wavy girl, I HIGHLY recomend u to follow this tutorial.
Its been 2 years i discovered my wavy hair, and still these days I didnt liked how my hair turned out after styling it.
I followed tons of different wavy routines and I was always dissapointed cuz my hair never turned out as good as in the video.
Now, I can confirm this is the BEST wavy sair tutorial/routine and im finally satisfied and happy about my hair (;
Its hydrated, its shine, the curls are absolutely stunning, and i have 0 frizz
Thanks ❤
Do you mean the products, technique, or both?
This was not only extremely informative but sooooo relaxing to watch. It totally felt like it was me in the chair.
Sooooo informative!!! And I’m so happy she put the products AND tools used in the description box!
@@mira5196 Nah. Just a good video!
Ditto!! Haha
I’ve had so many people tell me “if you have to do all this you don’t have wavy hair”. Like my hair wouldn’t look like the frizzy mess it is if I didn’t have wavy hair, just let me do what I need to do to take care of it damn 😭
you're so real for this
Exactly! I think wavy is the hardest hair type to have. But once we figure it out there’s no stopping us.
Exactly like if you’re hair is straight all of this would still fall flat. It’s ok to have a hair routine to help your natural waves do more to thrive, idk y ppl care
It's like ok let the weather not hit it then. If it's not that, don't let me sweat then. Bc otherwise, I heat damaged my hair for nothing. & At least a cruncher thing, I'm assuming it can be in a cold setting, isn't directly put on my hair. Going wavy/ curly has got to be way healthier
fr my mom is always saying that 😭😭
I love that you explain the why through each step. Sometimes I never really understand why to do things or why not to so it's really helpful to understand the meaning behind it :)
If this was a wella nutricurl ad I’m sold 😂
This was so incredibly helpful. My hair completely changed after being pregnant from pin straight to super tight waves and no hair stylist has been able to help give me a good routine and recommended products. I will definitely be trying this! Thanks!
Mine changed after a hysterectomy, it was straight before and now it is very wavy to definite curls. I love it, I just wish I could get it past the friz
Same girl! Two babies later and suddenly air drying my hair looked like a puffy straw mess! I’ve been on a wavy journey since and there’s so much influencer info that seeing an actual professional IN A SALON support our hair needs is AMAZING!
@@katlero28 also a puffy straw mess after 2 kids 🙋🏻♀️
My become wavy in the middle of puberty when thyroid problems started. Last couple of years my thyroid is worse than ever, because of huge amount of stress, and my hair is almost curly.
I was dreaming of hair like that as a little girl but it's a hell to make it look nice.
I just want to wash it and let it air dry without looking like a lion when it's dry.
It reminds me now, when we were swimming as a kids, girls with wavy or curly hair didn't have those problems, their hair was amazing after.
Now i have to wonder why?
Is it because kids hair is healthier or something else...🤔
Thank you for this video. I have wavy s shape hair. Always wanted to keep that shape. Never was taught what to do. Setting hair on rollers was what everyone did to my hair which just gave me a curly look and no waes. Thank you again.
Thank you thank you thank you for this tutorial!!!! My whole life until 38 I had straight hair. After one of my babies it then just got progressively wavier. Hairdressers have not really helped with the waves. Because my hair is in between waves and curls, no one’s advice or product has been perfect. I tried your above method and…blessed shock…my husband, kids, and I just about fell over, jaw dropping difference! I am now 51, it took 12 years to find you :-0. Thank you for this. Please please add a day 2, 3, 4 refresh, how to protect it in sleep, etc etc. Also would love to know all your product suggestions. We in between girls need you! So many women who have hormone changes are in the same boat. You are my new best friend ;-)
My mom got curly hair after I was born too! She struggled for a long time too and I'm learning about my deceptively straight hair and how I think there's waves hidden in there
This is the first video ever in my life that I have seen that actually gives proper instructions for hair like my own. Thank you for this.
This was great. I’ve had straight hair my entire life and have worn it short for 25 years. When Covid hit I decided to grow it out and to my shock it was wavy (almost exactly like the girl in this video). I think it was probably hormone change when I started menopause (1st cousins have wavy hair too). I’ve been at a complete loss. From finding out my curl number to shampoo and conditioner (I’ve never had to use conditioner before), then what product do I put in my hair at what stage and how to refresh it the next day. I’m such a newbie at this. I think I’ll have to find a new salon that has staff that specialize in curly hair. All these straight hair girls around me, no one can help. I’m going to try your method tomorrow and pray for success.
Update: Yes! It worked. I used products I have currently and first added the foam then curl cream while I was still standing in the tub. Squeezed it in like you shown, used my microfiber turban to squeeze out the excess and then wrapped my hair up in it. Took it off about 30 minutes later and had those wonderful curl clumps. Then let air dry. Thank you! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber. 😁
The part about what product to add at what stage and how to refresh! That's the start off of this journey isn't it?!? I just found out how to care for my waves/curls and I'm currently figuring it all out too 🥰🥰
I too had Covid and my hair has gone wavy curly. I have thick hair, heavier curls underneath. I went thru menopause 20 years ago. The only thing I can think of is I had Covid twice, 2 and 3 years ago. I had short hair and quit coloring and started growing it out again 3 years ago. I’m trying to find the right products for my dry curly thick hair and how to get it looking healthier.
I recently discovered that my hair is wavy but I’ve been experiencing so much frizz vs when it was “straight.” This video is absolutely helpful and I love how you explained why you were doing what you were. Her hair looked amazing at the end! I’m definitely going to incorporate your methods into my hair routine. Thank you!
How did you know your hair was wavy? I have always thought I have straight hair but it’s also a little wavy so I’m confused. I tried scrunching my hair with a t shirt and defusing it and it was actually wavy so I’ve been wondering how to tell so I can take care of my hair the right way.
@TS_Forever13 if you scrunch it wet, and it curls you have curly hair. Wavy is just a less curly version. Congrats on your wavy hair! Mine is the same way but after using the diffuser my curls are coming back!
@@Renee.Editzz mostly the hair texture, but the curly hair method is the way to know, scrunch it.
I have the same type of hair as this girl and this video is blowing my mind. I’ve never seen such a good detailed video with a professional who actually KNOWS how to make wavy hair look its best. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
So grateful you shared this!
100% of the stylists I’ve visited over the decades ignore my wave/curls so I’ve never learned how to properly care for them.
Now I do!
Thank you
this is unbelievable! You truly ARE an expert in styling/treating/managing curly hair! I cant believe the result and everything you were doing! No salon has ever done this to my curly hair. Amazing!
I’ve been a hairstylist for 18 years, this is such a great video for clients to watch. Often times my curly clients want me straighten it for them, which I understand. I’m definitely going to tell them to check out your channel! Thanks for making this great video!
I love how gentle this demonstration was too :’) Thank you for not only caring but teaching well about wavy to curly hair types! Natural haircare is just that, with gentle & lovingly natural regimes.
As a wavy girl, I’m so glad I found your channel!!! I loved this tutorial and being able to see the prep and styling from all angles. I learned so much!! Thank-you for sharing this with us!!! ❤️
This is the best & most realistic video I've seen! My hair is wavy & thick, and I don't have patience to be finger coiling every little piece or any of that extra stuff. Thank you so much! I'm excited to try these tips out!
did it work? Because i also have wavy and thick hair and it always comes out so frizzy after shower. did it work for you?
I’ve been using this technique now for some years and have very thic wavy hair and it works reaalllyyy well! It depends on the product how long the waves are staying in but there are some parts off my hair that get really curly with this method. I can really recommend trying it. Also it takes the hair some time to get used to the method. When I straighten my hair they need some washes to get curly again
I'd been putting my hair up in my Perfect Haircare towel to get some of the water out, THEN using my stylers! I will bring them over to the shower, apply, THEN get the excess water out of my hair! Thanks for a great video!!
I AM SO IMPRESSED. This is literally my hair type but I have struggled so much with how to manage my hair so I’ve been cutting my hair short these past few years and now I am trying to grow it out again. I will definitely use these tips! You have been so helpful!
Right?! I've cut my hair 3 times into a pixie over the last 10 years because I'd get some good hair some days and others just untamable flairs. Just now discovering it's because we have to care for it properly?! So excited to come across all of this information. I give God all the Glory!!
I've got it short after growing it long my whole life 😂 Cause it just gets overwhelming and spends life up in a pony or bun.
So I just tried this technique with my thin/hair loss head and HOLY HELL!!!! I have not had my hair this full or curly since I was a child before becoming disabled. All of the medications I have to take have ruined my once curly hair to overly thin, brittle hair. I am smiling so much right now, you don't even know! Thank you so so much for teaching us!!!
This is so helpful!! I love that you not only say what you're doing, but also WHY. I've always heard these things about not using very hot water, or using conditioner on the ends rather than right at the scalp, but never the actual reasoning behind it. Your explanations make it both easier to remember what to do (because it involves logical reasoning and not just memorization of instructions), and also makes me understand what I'm doing so I don't feel like I'm just naively performing some kind of superstitious ritual and hoping it works.
Thank you!!!
So glad this popped up as recommend! Shared with my daughter we both have wavy to curly hair. We've both tried to go on our curly hair journey, but we just can never quite get the results we want. Gonna try some of these things!!!
34 yr old woman here who is just now learning how to take care of my wavy hair ☹️. Thank you for this video ♥️
This just popped up on my feed and THANK YOU!!! For so long I’ve been wondering how to properly care for my wavy-curly hair as i’d been taught you’ve either got curls or nothing. This video is so informative and wonderful
Wow! I'm wavy and I love the results. I use this routine since last winter and it works actually, although our water is hard. I added a raspberry vinegar conditioner to my routine about one week ago and I see more results. Thanks for sharing this
Hey! Glad to hear this works for you 😊 I’d love to try your conditioner, which brand is it from?
Um, this video is amazing. So informative yet straight to the point. Not a ton of videos on wavy hair on here, and certainly not many that are actually helpful. This is the best video I’ve seen…..and I’ve binged a lot. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Sabrina! This really breaks down a wash day for a wavy girl like me. Other people’s videos are way too complicated I love how you broke it down thank you so much girl
Haha so glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! :)
Best to you 🥰
I have to say I just discovered I have wavy hair 😬 wondered why it was frizzy my whole life 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅 so this is day 3 of figuring this out. This has been the most detailed video I have seen so fair and I did not know about the clumping thing or frizzy (still working on it lol) life saver my hair really loved conditioner ❤
Take time with your hair and figure out what works for you. It took me over a year to figure out my hair, I just barely made progress last week. I found that creams and gels weighed my hair down sooo much. I started using Wave Maker from DevaCurl (I know the brand is controversial) and a volumizing foam from them as well. Then I put it up in a loose bun overnight and the outcome is beautiful.
Omggg I'm here on my day 3 of discovery also!!! 🤣🤣🙌
It's getting there lol trial and error lol learning more about my hair and what it likes and what not to do is a weird combo to figure out and the no touchy thing is hard lol
I'm at my split (wits) end. I have really frizzy highlighted high density fine hair and so far so frizzy. Though I see I've been doing more wrong than right.
This is thee first video I've seen that's shown how to wash and dry fine, curly hair without making it frizzy, and I found it so helpful! I was always so jealous of all the people I saw diffusing their thick, curly hair because I haven't been able to do that without looking like Hagrid. I'm definitely going to try the hairspray trick!
My daughter has this girls exact hair type, and as someone with pin straight hair, this is a God send. Thank you!!!
the end results turned out gorgeous! I also have wavy/curly hair and I rarely ever pixie diffuse, I mostly just hover diffuse. pixie diffusing usually creates wonky curls for me, especially at the ends, which I noticed started to happen in this video.
Thank you for watching! Her ends were a little wonky because she traditionally wears her hair straight so it's heat damaged.
Recently my hair texture changed, from being absolutely straight to getting waves and defined curls in the front and only a bit more volume in the back of my head. The only thing I started doing when I realized was to go in with my hand after the shower, no product or anything. Now I know exactly what I have to do and maybe I can get the back of my hair to curl a bit and make it even 😅
Thank you for uploading this! I feel like wavy hair is not talked about enough since everyone says it's just frizzy or straight. And even curly people know how to style theirs better since it's pretty obvious they had curly hair from the beginning and had to learn how to style it properly or else it would be a mess.
So there is a huge need for this type of content on TH-cam. The wavy girls have arrived!!
Lol I love this! The Wavy girls have arrived 🌊 🌊 🌊
Thank you I will try this! I have the same wavy hair but I can’t seem to get the waves to hold, when I leave it straight out of the shower it is mixed with straight and waves and a lot of frizz, so I am glad to stumble upon this video!
Unbelievable! I’m 50 and no stylists ever has said to me your hair is frizzy because you aren’t treating it properly. Great video ❤
You should definitely check out Bea's Bayou Hair Care; their hair masks are incredible.
Tried other wash routines but they just made my hair frizzy and loose my curls, THIS is the routine that made my hair so pretty if you try any routine on the internet try this one!
Thank you for explaining this. I have always had frizzy somewhat wavy hair. As I’ve gotten older my hair is starting to curl. This routine is just what I needed.
Only a few minutes in, but I really appreciate that after every tip, you explain the reasoning behind it!
I'm just starting my curly hair journey, I've been brushing and blow drying my hair straight for as long as I can remember, so it never even occured to me that my hair might be curly or wavy. My hair is down to my butt, and relatively fine, so the longer layers are weighed down, and its been a bit of a fight, but hopefully I can give my my hair the love and care it needs to see some of my natural texture!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WORKED FOR MY HAIR, (It's even super short right now) and it STILL WORKED!! Nobody in my fam has a hairtype similar for me so I didn't know how to take care of it. I've been looking for over 2 years, this helped so much. Thank you!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Will try this exact routine next wash day! I thought my hair was straight for all my life but it kept getting more and more frizzy. Now I know I have wavy / curly hair and just treated it wrong the whole time
Thank you for watching! :)
I’ve known people who had straight hair until they moved to a different area. It was the water weighing down the hair.
My daughter has wavy/curly hair I’m gonna try this on her. Her waves aren’t as cute as they were when she was Toddler. Thank you so much for this advice! Great video! ❤
i’m mixed and don’t have big curly hair like my sibling does, it would always just be fluffy and frizzy so i constantly ironed it to make it straight till i realized it was just really wavy. now i’m on my lil hair care journey to make my natural hair the best it can be ❤
Then you need to ask a melanated person about your hair this does not address melanated people hair
@@d.malkahsapphire9866 May I ask why it won't work for melanated people if they are in the 2 type hair range?
I gave up on my wavy hair for MANY years, and now I have hope that my hair CAN look good 👍🏽. Thank for sharing this video😊.
OMG. This is a whole other level of a wavy hair routine. It’s amazing! I will definitely try it on mine! Thank you so much.
This was insanely simple and well explained. Always had curly hair as a kid, and since realising it’s not actually a bush but just very untamed waves I’ve been trying SO hard to get my waves/curls back. This video has been really helpful in explaining where I could be going wrong and what I can try. Thank you so much for making it!
Have you tried Bea's Bayou Hair Care? You should definitely check them out!
Great video! I have "unknowingly" done some of these exact things to my hair to make the curls appear, really nice to get professional tips to add to my routine. I have some sensory issues and I don't like to use a hair dryer, my hair is shorter so it dries fast without, but I'll recommend this video to long haired ladies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is one of the best videos I have seen on setting curls. I love that you did not overload the hair with products. You made it very simple and explained it very well.
Tried the sectioning on the conditioner and it helped so much! Thanks for the advice.
You're so welcome! :)
I am a natural redhead in my 40s, and since I was a toddler I had one wavy section in the back of my hair while the rest was straight. When I hit my 20s that section became a tight wave/coil, then in my mid 30s to now the wave started slowly moving towards the front of my hair. I was gettin a relaxer in the back, since the front section wouldn’t even hold any curl. I decided to forgo the relaxer after 20 years and attempt to get the wave to hold in the front while keeping the back from being a frizzy mess. This feels like a good combo of techniques I’ve seen previously for my “complicated” hair and I can’t wait to try it!
Haidresser here since the mid 80's Been doing similar method since the early 90's. I find it works and looks better if you don't spend so much time perfecting the underneath layers with head upside down. Leave that area damp and flip head back right side up. If you want volume on top just tilt head from side to side or lean back on chair. This way you can see exactly how the outer layers are behaving and you can gently adjust and perfect each tendril.
Yes, this is what I learned from styling my hair as well. Upside down drying make my curls/waves in the front messy, whereas with the side-to-side and leaning-back methods I can pay closer attention to the top layer of curls all around (which are also the most damaged/frizzy from being exposed to the sun all day). That's IF I'm drying it with heat. Honestly, my hair always looks better when I just let it air dry, then give the roots a bit of a lift with my fingers, but my hair is much thicker and more plentiful than this person's hair, so that probably makes it easier to get volume.
So, my hair naturally has a wave and curl to it. However, over the years, I have had the HARDEST time keeping them actually there! Half the time, half my hair will be far straighter than the rest!! I thought my hair was just losing its touch, because I couldn’t find anything that was helping me… BUT I didn’t know about this! I CANT WAIT to try it out!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
It’s been some time since you commented, I have the same problem. Did you try this & how did it turn out??
Jeez I wish I had this years ago. This is exactly what I do with my wavy hair after lots of trial and error. Literally exactly!
Thank you for the tips! I have wavy/curly hair and all my life I hated it because no one else in my family has wavy hair so I’d straighten the life out of it. Wasn’t till the past year I began to embrace my wavy hair and what it could be with proper care. No one ever taught me this. Thank you thank you thank you!!! 😊
Thank you for this! I’m a 2C 2B wavy, and I never have a great wash day. My refresh day 2 & 3 are my rockstar times. I’m going to try these things!
THANK YOU!!! after I saw this, I went out the next day to buy some products, and even though I bought drugstore brands, it still worked amazingly!! I have been trying desperately to learn to style my waves correctly, and I'm extremely proud to say that now, at 26, I am a million steps closer!!!
thank you so much for this video! i have wavy/curly hair, but always straightened it growing cause i thought it was just frizz. barely starting to embrace my curls, and this video was informative! thank goodness wash day is tomorrow, so excited to try this out on my waves/curls!
good luck on ur wavy/curly journey!! Im still beginning mine :)
I remember my dad always telling me I have straight hair but as I grew up I started to develop my curls. And I have recently become engrossed with how to treat my hair right and especially since I am from a mixed family I know my hair can be so much more than the frizzy, puffy, catastrophe it is now 😂 thank you so much for this video! I’ve learned so much and I’m so excited for my curly hair journey
So happy to see this today, my hair looks like the left and while I have a hard time holding my arms up to do everything you did maybe there is some hope that I can bring back some curl yet.
I thought the left picture was beautiful.. I like both though 👍❤️
I love this! No one ever told me this! That's why my hair is frizzy! OMG! I can't wait to do this!! I've always put the a cotton towel to wrap my hair to soak out the water! Just the opposite of what I should have been doing!
I'm so excited to try this! I've found bits and pieces of information from various tutorials that kind encompass what you did here - but not to such a thorough degree and easy to understand instructions on why you do it this way. I could listen to you talk for hours! You sound so sweet and informative. ❤
Straight hair my whole life and kids and now I'm my 40's and it kept getting frizzy which I never had my whole life and realized its slightly wavy. This tutorial was phenomenal by the way, her hair came out stunning!!! Bravo to your hairstylist!
I have been trying the CGM for two and a half years as a 2a-2c. Your video really helped remind me of what I quit doing and to go back and try it again. I totally respect the whole Black hair care industry and all the products and techniques that have been developed over the years and thank all of you for the wisdom you so freely share with us Caucasian wavys and curlies who never knew what to do to enhance our textures. I was adding some “ethnic” products to my routine only semi-successfully before finding the CGM. I still struggle to get a look on wash day that I would want to wear in public and end up looking best on day 2 when my curls turn more to waves and the frizz is brushed into my waves. Yes, I do brush! My hair does not tangle. It has never been straightened, permed, dyed, teased, or anything and is silky smooth even in its frizzy waves and spirals. Your tips today reminded me of things I can do to combat frizz and I can’t wait to try and see if I can make it work. Thank you so much for this wavy video!
this helped so much. i recently got my hair bleached and dyed and the stylist had no clue how to style my hair and i left the salon looking a frizzy mess 😔. it’s been hard to get my waves back since then but this helped so much!! thank you!!
Can’t wait to try this! I’d be so interested to see a refresh tutorial!
Yes yes yes sameeee
She has a refresh tutorial on her channel! :)
This young woman’s hair is the first I’ve seen that appears to have the same waves & thinness as my own hair!
Great find - Thanks!!!
Every time I go get my fine wavy hair done I leave looking like a frizzy mess (even when I went to a $$$ instagram-famous curl expert), it’s frustrating because I don’t like to straighten my hair. This was lovely.
i’ve been getting my curls back after hot having had wavy-curly hair since i was a toddler so this has helped me learn how to manage my hair so much
This was amazing and informative As someone who has fine, wavy hair I never knew to do all of these steps! I’ve been embracing my natural wavy hair for awhile but never knew how to make my waves look strong and healthy.. until now ! 😊
Wow! So informative, thank you. As someone who's just now leaning how to deal with my own wavy hair, this seems like a lot for a wash & go.
I really wish you had shown the front, as this is where I have the most problems. Beautiful job !
Same! Next time i'll show all angles
If I lived in your area, I'd be in your salon all the time 🥰🥰🥰 everyone needs a hairdresser like you ❤
i have naturally curly hair and i hate putting tons of products in it. i'd love to see a real wash and go with less product, because its such a process that its just easier for me to straighten it.
literally
Plus you basically have to do it again the next day.
@@stargazerbird right? And that’s a hard pass for me lol
@@sarahjane6015 if you don't wash it you still have to refresh it and somehow re-style it, and sometimes add dry shampoo. And you can't sleep with your hair down. This is so much work it doesn't make sense to me. It's so time consuming and expensive.
@@violetaviana1888 same, its really not wash and go, and with natural curls, there's like no real way to just wash and go that i can find so i straighten it because its less maintenance
Wow!!!! I absolutely love how you explained. A client with genuine care of her hair and her natural curls, this is very hard to find these days at hair salons.
I must say I just purchased the products you suggested and I’m SUPER EXCITED to try them.
Thanks to you, your curl knowledge and kindness in your video I finally learned professional tricks on what to do with my curls. Love what you do, KEEP GOING.
Best wishes to you and your family in life and business. Regards from Aus.
I was born with really tight curls but as I got older I just lost them. Whenever I get my hair layered and shorter it’s easier for my curls to come back but I’ve never found an actual routine to make them how they used to be . I have a very similar curl pattern to the girl in the video so that helps a lot
My hair looked like hers at the beginning, but it always flattens out throughout the day and goes back to it. I have a diffuser, but I live where you can’t access products like that. What are your tips for sleeping, and do you approve of sea salt spray? I LOVE THAT YOU SHOW THAT HER HAIR IS WAVY BECAUSE US WHOS HAIR LOOK LIKE HERS FROM THE BEGINNING, PEOPLE JUST ASSUME ITS STRAIGHT. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING AWARENESS ❤
Use a silkbonnet to sleep, I have thin hair so my curls are really sensitiv but this works
add a little hair wax and hair Spray but only on day one to fixate the curls helps wonders
And use hair oil every other day but only a little tiny bit
I really wish I was in NY! I have part wavy and part curly hair. When I got the salon they either want to straighten it or they want to put a dime size amount of gel and send me on my way. An hour later I look like a frizz ball 🤦 glad we live in the age of TH-cam!
Agreed! If you ever take the trip im here
Beautiful results! I'm a naturally curly girl, and I will definitely try your method! I have straightened my hair a lot with a straigtening iron, and when I want to wear it curly, it seems that it has lost its curl pattern memory. So I've been doing robe curls and love the way it works. However, the curls don't look nearly as hydrated and juicy as what you have demonstrated in your video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Finally a video on hair that looks so similar to mine!!
Wavy hair needs proper representation too! :)
I agree.
I do some of this for my curls from trial and error(s) but learned tons of new tips here. I didn't know that about the warm water. I'm contemplating adding diffuser. Definitely adding a T-shirt! Thanks so much for the in depth info.
Thank you for this! I have a daughter with curly hair that I am so uneducated on. I will try this!!
I was so inspired (and relaxed...such a zen video) by this that I hopped in the shower immediately to try out these tips with products I had on hand but hadn't really known how to use. I AM AMAZED!!!!!! I shampoo with Redken Volume Injection. I am trying to use up a bottle of Olaplex conditioner, but I had a trial size of Living Proof Restore Repair Mask, so I used that for my conditioner instead. I clipped my hair up and let that sit for 5-7 minutes. Then, I used a wet brush to comb through my hair in sections like you demonstrated, making sure to use lots of water. Then I turned the shower off, flipped my hair over, and scrunched it with Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam. I added a step, brushing through my hair with a Denman brush with tips I'd seen in other videos, just to ensure I really distributed the mousse and did a little extra twirling to my hair. I flipped my hair over again and scrunched in Living Proof Curl Definer cream, which I had gotten a trial size of. Then, I used a microfiber towel to scrunch the extra water out. I sprayed the heck out of my hair with hairspray (I have fine wavy hair, and am used to seeing my curls fall), and diffused my hair upside down. I have NEVER seen my curls look SO curly, so shiny, or so frizz-free. I am literally SO tickled. My husband is laughing because I keep going to take pictures of my hair. THANK YOU for such a lovely video guide. Your explanations of why you are doing each step in a specific way was so helpful. I'll be sharing with all my wavy-haired friends!
I would love to have you wash my hair! I learned so much from your video. I had straight hair when I was young, but now with gray hair, I have a hot mess of frizz no matter what. I always air dry my hair, sometimes use hot rollers, doesn't matter. What works best for wavy gray hair?
What I find best with wavy gray hair is lots of moisture and diffusing. Also if you want to be a little fancy I'd invest in a hooded dryer, that helps dry your waves quickly without frizz.
Oh my god finally found someone with the same hair wave, I am so lost, thank you for this video, you did incredible on her hair and I will try this as well!.
For some reason, as I get older, my hair is getting much curlier. This video is extremely helpful! Thank you so much. Now maybe I can escape frizzville.
Such a helpful and informative video! I have similar texture to your model. One question: how do you transition from styling upside down to upright? When I’ve tried upside down styling all the hair sticks to the back of my head and doesn’t fall nicely at all.
I think you need to grow it out. In the mean time, maybe you can section your hair when you style instead so that you can style the hair in the back properly?
@@humanhoodie1554 my hair is already very long. But sectioning is a good thought!
I am so grateful that I saw your video on my feed!!! I have always thought i had straight hair, but then i noticed my hair was wavy when wet and then it got frizzy after i brushed it out when it was dry. I researched ways to maintain it and I found that i should use mousse and maybe gel. No other routine worked as well as your routine. Just did it and my hair looks fabulous! And my boyfriend likes it too! ❤😂 💓
What?!?! The hot water is why my hair is always frizzy. This whole video needs to be shared
Share to all your wavy friends! :)
you can use hot water you just have to close the cuticle after with a blast of cold
i think you'll get conflicting information by many hair stylists. it depends on who you ask. if you close the cuticle it will seal everything in there. which is why i think Olaplex #3 does the grunt of the work versus all the aftercare products. Bc you want to open the cuticle, use it, and seal it. then use low heat tools to style so you don't damage it, fade your color, etc. which is what mine advises me. But I do like everything else aside from that mentioned in this
Omg thank you so much for this video! Lately I’ve been trying to bring out my curls/waves but whatever I tried it just didn’t work. This video made me realize that I need to be more patient, especially when diffusing my hair. Also that I should be using hairspray while diffusing. That definetely helped me with my frizz and the volume of my hair.
thank you so much, i have wavy thin hair and this was super useful ✨💞💗
You’re welcome! 😊
I’ve begun trying to get my hair healthy and to love it in its natural state, and my goal is to have long healthy hair. My hair is curly and has I think 3 different patterns to it. My crown area is a more wavy, my mid and underside is more curly loose 1inch curls , and I have a cross section in the back from one ear to the nape of my neck that’s tighter and more like half inch ringlet curls. I don’t claim to know too much on curl, and it’s been very difficult for me to know exactly how to care for it. My hair is pretty fine, but I have a LOT of it. Like 1/4 of my head is still a 1” ponytail. Your videos have helped me so much in learning how to keep my hair healthy and my curls to be defined and less frizzy and I’m so so thankful I came across your channel. My mom has had pretty straight hair so I’ve not had anyone really to teach me how to work with my curls, and most stylists I’ve come across in salons just don’t seem to know how to work with it either lol. Thank you so much
I need another curly stylist in my life. I stopped straightening my hair during COVID and the stylist I used before doesn’t do curly well. When she gets ahold of my hair I turn out really poofy with not much definition. She uses a diffuser but I think she’s used to doing it for people with less full hair. Part of my issue is I have so many different curl patterns I have some full ringlets about the size of a finger and some waves. My underneath hair on my neck gets pinky sized ringlets. Sometimes it seems like it depends on the day what they want to do. Makes me remember why I started flat ironing in the first place.
The good news is that theres a lot more than you think there are :) Google can help find curl specialists in your area.
Have you tried finger coiling allllll your hair?? I know it’s time consuming, but your layers on top might just need more time with curly friendly products, sleeping in a silk bonnet, using a cotton t-shirt after your shower, etc…..and finger coiling before diffusing. Just a thought……it’s all such a journey!!
i tried this routine with maui coconut curl shampoo and conditioner and the results are nothing short of incredible. i'll have to wait a few weeks (or months) for my hair to heal after a lifetime of mistreating it, but i'm so damn happy with it. thank you so much for this video! my hair is so soft and fluffy and actually looks good. i needed this routine so much
Would you happen to know if the foam stuff she uses is more like a curl cream or a moose? I don't have the foam and I'm seeing if I have an alternative lol!
@@morganh.6400its more like a mousse
Nunca usei nenhum produto da Wella porque aqui no Brasil é caríssimo! Mas lógico que usar bons produtos dá muita diferença. O cabelo dela ficou lindo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm going to try this, I have always had frizzy wavy hair and when I was young I straightened it every day. I had NO clue I was able to style it, or that I even could. I am so thankful for this. I will update with how it went!
I just did it and wow... it's not perfect since it is my first time but it is so amazing!!! Thank you for this video 🙏🏻🦋
Amazing results! Thank you for showing us!
