The way you do things is some kind of magical combo of refinement and carelessness, sophistication and utilitarianism and it’s so refreshing and genuinely helpful. We have the same hair and mine usually looks pretty good, but I’ve recently realized that putting in an extra 5 min goes a very long way. This couldn’t have come at a better time
@@Justboatfishing LOL, I thought this WAS her! (I didn't know either of their names, but I figured it was the model in Chris Isaak's Wicked Game video.
Good Day. For decades I have bought everything under the Sun to stop exactly what was happening to your hair. Tools, OTC products, Wearing it up, hair wraps to cover the Frizz and Good luck if there is Humidity or a frizzy weather element no pun intended. I bought this cream just to see once again. I have for decades drying my hair exactly as shown however the too and side frizz would adventualy show. **** THIS product WORKS perfectly and actually lasts as stated the following day with a spray and crunch you're good to go. Thank you so very much. I have donated all my tools and unopened mega boxes of hair products. I now only have this. I will be stocking up in Fear it will be discontinued. I am so grateful to finally have the hair I have been praying for only for 35 years. My hair changed after my Son's birth and it's been a struggle since. Love your Shorts as well and have learned a lot. Bravo. 🌟💜❣️
This is the first video I have ever seen that describes my hair type identically! I've watched countless videos and BAM out of nowhere, seemingly your video shows up! Thank you!!!! Obviously I'm subscribing!!!!!
literally, I've been watching Sam for a long time and had no clue we had literally the exact same hair lmfao, hair type, current colour and cut to a tee. actually insane
You're my hair twin! Curly in the neck, wavy and drying almost smooth on top. Gets easily weighed down, despite being very thick and dense and healthy. It just does not absorb product and especially oils (natural or synthetic). And I also need an insane amount of layers and thinning for my hair to look good. Which most hairdressers just will not give you, even if you ask for it. I'm so grateful for the whole 'wolfcut' trend. Now I can finally put a name on what I want.
@@samchapmanmakeup YES!! I gave myself a shag haircut first, and then used your tips to style it, and I am BLOWN AWAY by how wavy my hair is now. I feel like this is the haircut/look my hair has been crying out for.
I’m so glad TH-cam suggested your video! I remember seeing you online ages ago when I was more into makeup. This is amazing! I’m in my 40’s now and I love this content 💖
frizz is friction and/or hair that is too dry so it's swelling out to catch the humidity/moisture in the air. If you have any wave or coil or kink avoid friction in your hair. Straight medium hair can handle the friction more a bit of product smooths it back down. coarse or fine hair is a nightmare to tame without make it in weighed down. for dry hair, try a weekly hair mask, a daily leave-in conditioner and/or an anti-humidity product.
That's why you need topping like silicone serum or oil. It will make shield over hair because what is making frizz is your hair with open pores is sinking water from air.
FINALLY someone with my exact hair. I cannot thank you enough!!! I was able to look up the cut and do it myself. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Getting my hair to do something I want has been a life long struggle! Finally something that works!!
I'm black...our hair is even more complicated but doesn't need to be when you just do the basics. weekly shampoo, use a deep conditioner/hair mask, use a leave-in conditioner, detangle with a wide tooth comb, put it in two French braids and get your trims every 3 months/seasonally. that's it! Most straight-haired people can skip the leave-in conditioner and can use a brush instead of a comb.
You just literally SOLVED my hair conondrum that I've been struggling with for YEARS. I have this exact hair type and I've never seen anyone actually talk about and address this type where there is waves underneath and basically almost straight hair on top. I so WISH I could have a shag haircut but I have alopecia and the layers would probably expose my hair loss spots, sigh..... anyway, I WILL try this some time either way! Also, you look amazing!! Love your eye makeup as well.
I have totally tried exactly what you do with your hair... same haircut as well. My natural hair texture is curly frizzy, wavy frizzy, thick, coarse, color treated, frizzy hair!!! I grew up in the 1960's & 70's. We had nothing as far as product's went, in those years to help my awful hair. I literally and seriously hated my hair. It was a nightmare! People would come and say, you are so lucky to have your naturally curly hair. I wanted to scream, and say you have no idea what you are talking about! However, I never said anything, because I was brought up to be a respectful young lady. Thank goodness that there is help with this kind of hair texture now. It takes a lot of work to get it smooth, but I can achieve it now. I'm happy that girls and women of today, don't have to go through what I had to go through. When I was raising my children, my daughter would ask me "mom how did you do it with no products?" I would reply honestly, and tell her that it was a difficult situation.
In the 80’s London brought out lots of products that did this. Then dupes arrived in the US but today it’s hard to find a pomade that doesn’t also set. Happy to have found this!
I'm black...people with straight fine to medium, low-density hair: just brush it....never brush dry wavy, curly, coily or kinky hair....unless you want an afro. while I'm over hair with kinky-coily-penspring high density but ultra fine hair....my hair would break and the comb.... so glad my trichologists taught me to comb my hair while damp with leave-in conditioner!!
I have the same type of hair. When it’s wet, I apply a lot of MOP TOP curling custard. I scrunch it into my hair and don’t touch it till it’s dry. Once it’s dry, the hair is crispy. I just take a towel and scrunch out the crunch. This makes my hair conditioned and smooth. No frizz.
This is the type of my hair, I’ve found that very recently in my life, im 42! I do exactly the same routine. Few days before I’ve been putting my head down when my hair is almost dry and spray some curly hair product and it looks more fluffy and I receive a lot of compliments :)
Yes, I have the same kind of hair, and I agree it is hard to style. If you put too much product, it will become heavy! Thanks, I will try that product to see if I can style it better.
I recently ( 2weeks ago) embraced my sometimes wavy sometimes curly hair and a curly hair expert cut into it sooooo much! This has made me feel much better about styling mine and taming frizz. PLEASE share your divine makeup look from this video! It is amazing ❤
Is that what it is called? Interesting ! I have that type oh hair too and many Irish ancestors as well as green eyes and the pale freckled skin. Is it really a hair type found in Ireland? Thanks.
@@jen7834 Irish hair can vary from pin straight to very curly (like any European country really), I don’t think Irish hair is a real term, certainly not I’ve ever hear here in Ireland ever say lol
Two years ago, when I turned 55 and had my menopause, I got my butt-length hair cut into a shag. This is what happened--this is my hair routine--except I don't use any product at all. I finally have the hair I wanted when I was sixteen and got perms to achieve. LOL. I'm going to try with some product, just to play. Thank you.
Same! Nice with your eyeliner. It took me 40 years to realise this to get my waves to do this - NOOOO combing or no towel drying. I leave in my Acid Blonde Redkin Conditioner to tame my highlight damage. John Frieda used to work well pre-bleach days and cheap x
Since I haven't come across someone with hair like mine before , I always thought that I was the only one who has this "weird" hair. I was equally shocked and delighted when you started describing your hair and I realized that is my hair described to a tee. Thank you for this video and all advice and tips. It's exactly what I was looking for; easy, effortless but it looks great ❤
My hair is this texture, have always found air drying the best for my hair type. You are always so beautiful , effortless and sophisticated. Thank you for this vid! Want a fridge again now.. ❤
My longer lengths are much more curly, and healthier looking. The shorter my hair is cut, the straighter and frizzier it gets. It's usually the opposite, at least with the people I know. I just stick with long layers. A long wolf cut, looks like a long lion mane. Works.
Lovely haircut. I think that’s a huge part of being able to allow your hair to air dry and not look like trash. I quite like Hairstory’s Undressed spray for a refresh and textured air dry!
I love this! I have hair just like yours. A little wavy, a little curly, fine and prone to frizz on top. I even cut my own hair in a very similar shape to you just longer. I will definitely be trying this product and your techniques. Thank you!!
You changed everything for me with this video. I live in the desert and even though it’s quite obviously dry as hell here, my hair looked like I spent a week at the ocean, just full of life and so happy. I just moved my bob into a shag and this video was magically suggested to me by TH-cam
Finally someone addressing exactly my hair and my hair problems😊😍! I also got a shag/ wolfcut some months ago and the hairdresser had curly hair herself and I feel like she was the first to cut away enough hair 😀. I didn’t have bangs though because she basically talked me out of them and I‘m not sure it looks flattering on me, but basically, it’s a lot of work and obviously needs to be recut soon. But then again a wolfcut looks coolest with bangs. 😅 The only thing I noticed that bothered me a little with this haircut was, ponytails and anything that can keep your hair out of your face, is not going to work anymore so keep that in mind. Anyway, thanks for the tips Sam, I‘m going to try it exactly like you showed even if my wolfcut is mostly grown out in a way.
I related to you so much when you said that overloading your hair with product doesn't help. I used to apply gel or mousse and my hair would feel so product-y. Now I just use a leave-in conditioner and scrunch and bam! good hair
I have the same type of hair. I stopped going to the hairdresser's because no matter what i asked for, layers and thinning (my hair gets thick and weighted down) i never get what i ask for. I tell them i dont straighten my hair, dont blow dry, i natural dry as much as i can. I always end up with a cut for straight hair. First wash after my cut. I end up looking like no country for old men. Mortified Thank you for all the tips. Lovely hair cut.
Oh my goodness Sam, you are STUNNING!! You are getting better with age. You are so Helena Christensen at her prime. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Have you had botox in your masseters? ( Hope that isn't rude to ask..) Great video xo
this video was amazing for me as i’ve got exactly the same textured hair as you and i have tried everything and every product so i will be trying this tequnique today !
I went to my hairdresser and showed them this video for a cut, and they said it wouldn't suit me, so I did myself at home, and you weren't lying. My hair is so naturally defined now, I barely need hair cream or anything, for that fact.
Ok, the hair is amazing for sure. My straight hair would love to be naturally wavy! But beyond the hair, is anyone else dying to know how she did her eye makeup for this video!! Tutorial pretty please!!!🙏🏼
I love this look! ❤ Beautiful. I find with my wavy short hair I have to shampoo it more often than when I blow dry straight. I can go 5-6 days when straight. How often do you have to wash your hair with this technique?
Thank you for the tips! My short hairs around my forehead tend to curl quite a lot but otherwise the 'flat on top, curly at the back/nape' is exactly what I have. I've been very tempted to have this cut, but my hair is VERY thin while also being coarse, so I worry about taking too much off the top and then having no volume at the bottom. How would you describe your hair thickness and texture? I almost always air dry my hair but usually faff about with products and combing first, so I'll give your method a go next wash day for sure! ❤
That’s my hair type only my hair may be a bit more frizzy. I’ve wanted that hair cut but afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep it manageable. One thing, I am very active playing pickle ball and or running. Is this manageable to wash daily?
Hi Sam, love your hair, mines very similar shag however I'm blonde, I use merwave n let it airdry or very slowly diffuse it really works, hope this helps. Love your channel n your book ❤
This has helped so much with keep my hair from being frizzy, thank you! Which Olaplex s/c do you use? It’s really expensive and I don’t want to risk a shampoo that will weigh my hair down.
Hi Sam! Thanks so much for this (as wavy/frizzy haired woman myself) I totally agree with everything you said. Less is more 🙌🏻 I have a wavy bob with a fringe and like to let my had dry naturally too, plus I’m low maintenance or maybe lazy? 😅 thanks for this, especially the shampoo rec 👍🏻 much love xx
Have u tried a working spray like the Aquage while your hair is damp for some lightweight hold? Love you and your vids! Thank you for creating and sharing! Have you ever tried The Perfect Hair Care towel? Love your cut, BTW! Xo
I had some questions - I have frizzy but very fine hair. How can I do this and still get volume ? - Do you detangle your hair at some point in the process? When ? Thanks for your answers.
Sam, so glad to find you again. Started watching you in 2010? We have same texture. Please tell, did you mean 'Olaplex' shampoo, & if so, which one. You are looking so chic & fab!
Love 💗 this. I definitely do this ….and then forget….and wind up, putting too much product or over styling. My question is, I have found when I use the water mist for my hair, I actually make my hair go frizzy. But that might be too much product going by what you’ve been showing. Do you ever have that problem with the water mist making your hair, go frizzy the next day?
You are a lifesaver, Sam Chapman. I had pretty much given up wearing my hair down because of that combo of frizzy on top -- with no amount of product really helping. And, the combo of curlers (yes I still use hot curlers) or curling iron is tough on your hair. Great tips here, especially as we go into the cooler months of autumn in the States. I do go out with my hair damp pretty regularly in California, harder to do when the temps drop or in the rain. Yes, we have rain in all part of California. I know you've been to LA, but even there it rains! Thanks for the advice, as always to many of your wavy-haired followers.
What I have learned recently with our type of hair is: ends need friends. Waves/curls need other hair to form a wave or curl. Had a cut in April and the dresser cut my layers too short on the top so the bottom hair does not have much left. My hair is fine and wavy. Since April I have not had a good hairday and wearing it in a bun 😞
Finally someone with my kind of hair. Thanks so much. Really appreciate the tutorial. Now I know when to leave my hair alone... I've been overdoing and losing the wave to poof. And, with my white hair, I can easily look like a Q-Tip. Again, thank you!
Sounds and looks fabulous. I'm not sure how my hair would take to this. It's naturally unruly, but never seen a curl in it. I might try this though - what's the worse that can happen? I dislike it and don't do it again. Thanks!
I have this exact hair type. The top part is kind of straight and then underneath I have defined ringlets. My old old old hairdresser said it’s a genetic mixup in our bodies that gives us that hair. Idk how true that is but it is interesting to consider. I recently got a very short pixie cut and it has made my life so much easier styling and frizz wise. I have so much texture in my pixie without any work and the frizz is minimal.
I have this hair and I’ve found for me to cut down on frizz is to actually part my hair on the OPPOSITE side of what I want for styling. Let it dry. The weight of the hair under the opposite side of the part kind of presses the frizz out. The exposed side of the part gets frizzy by being open to the air and movement. Once fully dry, flip hair to the opposite side for the part and hair is much smoother.
Gorgeous❣️. Your haircut is sooooo good. I wish to find a stylist that can do this cut. I have wavy, sometimes more curly, always frizzy hair. I need this haircut in NYC. Any recommendations anyone?
Ahn Co Tran a great celebrity stylist comes over from California several times a year and has taught many a hair stylist how to cut hair. He has a trade mark look called “lived in hair” - Google him.
I have this type of hair and I have struggled getting it to perform as curly. I am lucky to have an experienced hair stylist who looks at everything before he decides my cut. I got a wolf cut/shag last time but because my hair is down to mid back it was modified for that length. It's a great cut because if the short top layers don't dry correctly you can simply rewet them and blow dry and the cut looks very cute with the longer layered bits curling up and the straight just curled under top hair just on the top of the crown. Makes your hair look like it has more volume and the curls look very flowy and spiraled in that area near my ends. I still use some products mainly for moisture but they do weigh my hair down so I twist each section with some gel to get more curl. If I got my hair cut like yours and really layered I could see how that might work for me. Good to know what could work cut -wise if I get tired of this longer hair.
may I ask who cuts your hair ? Im based in London and have exactly the same hair type . I can't find anyone who cuts it the way I like so I end up doing it myself ! thank you

Oh my goodness Sam, you are STUNNING!! You are getting better with age. You are so Helena Christensen at her prime. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Have you had botox in your masseters? ( Hope that isn't rude to ask..) Great video xo
I have your hair type exactly. I never know how to care for it. Thank you!!
Fantastic hair style..you look stunning ❤❤❤
I love your hair cut!!
As a gardener I couldn't agree more on the trusty tools 🤣❤
Could you please do a video of how you did this makeup ? Thank you it looks incredible 🌷🌷🌷
Yess
this video was amazing for me as i’ve got exactly the same textured hair as you and i have tried everything and every product so i will be trying this tequnique today !
I went to my hairdresser and showed them this video for a cut, and they said it wouldn't suit me, so I did myself at home, and you weren't lying. My hair is so naturally defined now, I barely need hair cream or anything, for that fact.
Ok, the hair is amazing for sure. My straight hair would love to be naturally wavy! But beyond the hair, is anyone else dying to know how she did her eye makeup for this video!! Tutorial pretty please!!!🙏🏼
It’s coming..
I’m just going to take your picture into my hairdresser and pray ❤
Wow I can't believe how well this works! Would love a little follow up to see how you restyle second/third days.
Perfect timing!!!! I have the same hair type and showed my hairdresser a similar style!! Thank you! ❤
That cut subtracts 10 years... gorgeous!
I love this look! ❤ Beautiful. I find with my wavy short hair I have to shampoo it more often than when I blow dry straight. I can go 5-6 days when straight. How often do you have to wash your hair with this technique?
Completely off topic - but what lipstick are you wearing in this video? It’s gorgeous!
Thank you for the tips! My short hairs around my forehead tend to curl quite a lot but otherwise the 'flat on top, curly at the back/nape' is exactly what I have.
I've been very tempted to have this cut, but my hair is VERY thin while also being coarse, so I worry about taking too much off the top and then having no volume at the bottom. How would you describe your hair thickness and texture?
I almost always air dry my hair but usually faff about with products and combing first, so I'll give your method a go next wash day for sure! ❤
That’s my hair type only my hair may be a bit more frizzy. I’ve wanted that hair cut but afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep it manageable. One thing, I am very active playing pickle ball and or running. Is this manageable to wash daily?
You look so much like Helena Christensen circa 1990s! 😍
That's a really fantastic haircut!
I really like this hair on you ❤
Hi Sam, love your hair, mines very similar shag however I'm blonde, I use merwave n let it airdry or very slowly diffuse it really works, hope this helps. Love your channel n your book ❤
This has helped so much with keep my hair from being frizzy, thank you! Which Olaplex s/c do you use? It’s really expensive and I don’t want to risk a shampoo that will weigh my hair down.
beautiful hair and beautiful hairstyle.
Hi Sam! Thanks so much for this (as wavy/frizzy haired woman myself) I totally agree with everything you said. Less is more 🙌🏻 I have a wavy bob with a fringe and like to let my had dry naturally too, plus I’m low maintenance or maybe lazy? 😅 thanks for this, especially the shampoo rec 👍🏻 much love xx
Have u tried a working spray like the Aquage while your hair is damp for some lightweight hold? Love you and your vids! Thank you for creating and sharing! Have you ever tried The Perfect Hair Care towel? Love your cut, BTW! Xo
Dear Sam, thank you so much! ❤ Which hairdresser do you visit, please? Thank you
I had some questions
- I have frizzy but very fine hair. How can I do this and still get volume ?
- Do you detangle your hair at some point in the process? When ?
Thanks for your answers.
I’m curious too!
Sam, so glad to find you again. Started watching you in 2010? We have same texture. Please tell, did you mean 'Olaplex' shampoo, & if so, which one. You are looking so chic & fab!
I have hair like yours; your hair looks great!
Absolutely love your hair!! Thank you so for all the great tips.
I try it all❤❤
Love 💗 this.
I definitely do this ….and then forget….and wind up, putting too much product or over styling.
My question is, I have found when I use the water mist for my hair, I actually make my hair go frizzy. But that might be too much product going by what you’ve been showing. Do you ever have that problem with the water mist making your hair, go frizzy the next day?
You are a lifesaver, Sam Chapman. I had pretty much given up wearing my hair down because of that combo of frizzy on top -- with no amount of product really helping. And, the combo of curlers (yes I still use hot curlers) or curling iron is tough on your hair. Great tips here, especially as we go into the cooler months of autumn in the States. I do go out with my hair damp pretty regularly in California, harder to do when the temps drop or in the rain. Yes, we have rain in all part of California. I know you've been to LA, but even there it rains! Thanks for the advice, as always to many of your wavy-haired followers.
This is the perfect hairstyle I have been looking for - thank you.
What I have learned recently with our type of hair is: ends need friends. Waves/curls need other hair to form a wave or curl. Had a cut in April and the dresser cut my layers too short on the top so the bottom hair does not have much left. My hair is fine and wavy. Since April I have not had a good hairday and wearing it in a bun 😞
Finally someone with my kind of hair. Thanks so much. Really appreciate the tutorial. Now I know when to leave my hair alone... I've been overdoing and losing the wave to poof. And, with my white hair, I can easily look like a Q-Tip. Again, thank you!
holy grail of wavy and curly hair DO NOT TOUCH IT UNTIL IT DRIES or you will create frizz.
Sounds and looks fabulous. I'm not sure how my hair would take to this. It's naturally unruly, but never seen a curl in it. I might try this though - what's the worse that can happen? I dislike it and don't do it again. Thanks!
I have this exact hair type. The top part is kind of straight and then underneath I have defined ringlets. My old old old hairdresser said it’s a genetic mixup in our bodies that gives us that hair. Idk how true that is but it is interesting to consider. I recently got a very short pixie cut and it has made my life so much easier styling and frizz wise. I have so much texture in my pixie without any work and the frizz is minimal.
I have this hair and I’ve found for me to cut down on frizz is to actually part my hair on the OPPOSITE side of what I want for styling. Let it dry. The weight of the hair under the opposite side of the part kind of presses the frizz out. The exposed side of the part gets frizzy by being open to the air and movement. Once fully dry, flip hair to the opposite side for the part and hair is much smoother.
Spot on! I wish I had seen this 40 years earlier…
Gorgeous❣️. Your haircut is sooooo good. I wish to find a stylist that can do this cut. I have wavy, sometimes more curly, always frizzy hair.
I need this haircut in NYC. Any recommendations anyone?
Ahn Co Tran a great celebrity stylist comes over from California several times a year and has taught many a hair stylist how to cut hair. He has a trade mark look called “lived in hair” - Google him.
This background and lighting is really nice!!
Oh thank you!
I’ve been looking for this video my whole life!! What Olaplex do you use? Thank you!
Great advice Sam, thank you. ❤ Which of the Olaplex shampoo and conditioners do you use?
Gorgeous woman!!!! I love your hair colour. Please what is the COLOUR/BRAND ? Thansk Mary :)
I have this type of hair and I have struggled getting it to perform as curly. I am lucky to have an experienced hair stylist who looks at everything before he decides my cut. I got a wolf cut/shag last time but because my hair is down to mid back it was modified for that length. It's a great cut because if the short top layers don't dry correctly you can simply rewet them and blow dry and the cut looks very cute with the longer layered bits curling up and the straight just curled under top hair just on the top of the crown. Makes your hair look like it has more volume and the curls look very flowy and spiraled in that area near my ends. I still use some products mainly for moisture but they do weigh my hair down so I twist each section with some gel to get more curl. If I got my hair cut like yours and really layered I could see how that might work for me. Good to know what could work cut -wise if I get tired of this longer hair.
But your eyes!!! Beautiful!! 🤩
Best hair ever!!! love it
THANK YOU, SAM!!! ❤🎉
may I ask who cuts your hair ? Im based in London and have exactly the same hair type . I can't find anyone who cuts it the way I like so I end up doing it myself ! thank you
