As a curly girl in her mid-fifties, I proclaim you a goddess, mentor, and guru!!! You, Kerry Lou, are beauty exemplified! You age with a grace and decorum to which I aspire. Peace to you, lovely lady. Keep inspiring us!
Just found your videos and I am thrilled. You have my hair and I am growing it out now too! Please do lots more hair videos. I would love to see how you diffuse and so much more. Thanks for helping us curly silvers!
WOW, you have to take a lot of steps with your hair. That’s why it looks so healthy. Kerry, thanks for adding your visit with Mark to this video. I had asked for it at one time.
Kerry Lou! We could be hair twins. I did the curly-girl method before it WAS a method. In addition to what you're doing, for some reason I find my curls are better when I rinse my hair in cool water. The colder the better. Maybe it closes the cuticle down a bit? Thanks for sharing yourself with us. You are gorgeous and an inspiration.
Sorry for the late response! I wanted to reply regarding the cool water - thanks for mentioning that, it does indeed help close the cuticle, so then the hair is shinier! Thanks so much!
I've got to be honest here, I am exhausted watching all these steps so my curls can look their best. I applaud anyone who has the patience for all of this. Unfortunately, I am way too lazy and always in a hurry to comply with all of this. Kudos to those who can!!!
It's not a matter of being lazy - the curly girl method is just too complicated! When we were locked in, I let my hair air dry once and discovered that it was really wavy after treating it as straight all my adult life. When I returned to my hairdresser, she cut it to maximize the wave and recommended products but I also studied on my own and came across the method. Way, way too complicated for me. I also have chronic vertigo and doing all of this would probably make me pass out!
Just found you and your awesome at explaining things simply, probably because of your job, I have similar hair length to you and I'm 41 and my hair is really starting to thin, I cut my hair short for health reasons, it was getting too hard to manage, so glad I've found you, my new curlfriend ❤
Yes! Me, too. I'm 56 yrs young. I started the wavy/curly journey about 1 1/2 yrs ago, too. My hair is almost halfway down by back, when dried. I haven't wore my hair this long since I was a kid. Today's washday was the best, so far!
Your silver curls are absolutely gorgeous. I think your cut and the method are perfect. After chemo my hair changed and became much more fine and much more wavy. I tried the “curly girl method” then, but then went to a blown out bob. With summer coming I am considering trying it again, possibly with a shorter cut, thinking I might have a better wave pattern. Thank you for excellent directions.
You’re welcome, I hope it works out well for you! I feel the same way, I can blow out my hair in the winter when the air is dry, but when the humid summer comes around then I’ll go for the curls! 😘🌸
I have new curls post-chemo. I have tried understanding this method and have heard so many phrases I’d never heard before! I didn’t know what glazing and roping and plopping, pixie diffusing, clumping, cast, halo frizz, or any of these words mean. Your video helped so much!! Thank you!
Love your new hair style. So pretty. A year or so ago I spent lots of time watching curly hair care TH-cam videos. Some things work, some things don't ,but I sure learned a lot and I'm happy with my hair. Squish to condish! Yay for curly hair.
Yes, everybody’s curls are so different, not everything works, but it’s kind of fun to try new things! Eventually we get the right combination that works for us 😉
Kerry-Lou please don't ever apologise for not having makeup on - you're gorgeous just the way you are. You could be makeup-less, face upside down AND wearing a potato sack & still look fabulous! I really love your channel, your way of presenting, your genuineness .. . I've taken the opportunity of the last 14 months to allow my own grey hair to run its course, thanks to your own journey and courage, so thank you. I don't have curls unfortunately (funny how we always want what we don't have!), but I do have a thick head of Salt and pepper hair now that I love. Blessings from Down Under 👩🦳 ❤🐨
I grew my hair out a couple years ago - I guess I've been totally natural now for about 2 years. I've had seriously mixed feelings about my white hair, but your video made me feel like my wavy locks may be helped by the methods you show. Thanks so much for haring this!
13:51- I actually think you look lovely in this video without makeup, I think you have a sparkling presence which shines through, makeup or not! Thank you for putting this together. My hair is very curly and I straighten it all the time, because I get frustrated with the frizzzzz.
He gave you a fabulous haircut!!!!!... your hair looks amazing!... Thank you so much for such an informative video!!!!... much love and appreciation!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
I Loved this video! I am in my late 70s and FINALLY trying to embrace my curls, after years of flat-ironing them out~~ In the process of growing out a pixie, so I've got a ways to go, but extremely impressed with your beautiful curls!♥
I just found your channel, and wanted to say that, even though I've never seen any other styles that you wear your hair, I think how you're wearing your hair in this video looks absolutely beautiful on you
My silver hair is a lot like yours in color and texture and I have just a bit of blond/gold to grow off on the ends here and there. Can’t wait for it to go! Loving the curly girl method and how healthy my hair feels now.
Kerry Lou I love your channel I grew out a pixie 4 years ago and low and behold I have very natural wavy curly hair and I had to learn how to deal with it. Over time I have found the bowl method to be the best and I speed it up with adding conditioner and gel together in the bowl and then scrunch, scrunch, scrunch. I have a turban that I bought off of amazon that I wear when I plop and I am going to try wearing it longer when time permits. I like curl clumps sometimes and sometimes not and you are right its never the same twice. I use a Denman brush or a big tooth comb to form my hair curls before scrunching it all depends how I feel. My hair is about your length as well and I let my hair go natural gray many years ago.....I am 68 now.
Thanks for telling me in the other view is about your experience with your hair, it’s very useful to know how other people are handling the Curls, because as we know they can be finicky 😁. I’m always changing the combination and quantities of the products I use, where I live, the seasons really change the texture of my hair. Good luck with your curls! 😁
I lost alot of my curls with age, menopause I guess, and have been trying every product out there to get them back. My hair became softer after I stopped coloring it meaning that it doesn't hold shape as well. I have an absolute arsenal of hair products but I have made a few discoveries along the way that seem to be working. The first is sticking to one product line at a time because they're formulated to work together and don't mix and match products. The second is watching your videos...I'll be damned, great tips and I've achieved better curls that actually hold without being crispy....I do need more practice though. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for this Cathy, It's really hard to keep up with our changing hair needs isn't it? I think many of us are still trying to style our hair the way we used to, even though our needs have changed so much. Good to take a fresh look sometimes. Yes, I agree about mixing lines of products. Good luck with the rest of your curly hair journey! xx
Beautiful outcome, I love the swishy look of your healthy, curly locks. Thank you for all your prep work to make this informative video. You’re the best beauty instructor! 💕
I'm even later to this party than you! I've heard of the "curly girl method" but assumed it was a product line. I've always had curly hair and accepted its tendency to frizz. However, lately with more grays coming in, the frizz just makes me look like a harridan---not a good look! I will be trying this method very soon! Thank you for your vulnerability in doing this on camera for us. So helpful!
I have the same curly hair as you, and have been letting it grow over a year now, I will try your method of drying my hair from now on....thank you for all your tips very helpful 😀 🌻
Wow Kerry-Lou what you do for us subs, thank you! I haven't had a professional haircut for about 18 months. Mine is really super short and I "attack" it with clippers for back and sides and scissors for the top with hand held mirror - every 3 weeks. I love yours blown out and curly and admit I have never heard the terms "bowl method" and "plopping" but it's a great result. Hope you and yours are well and happy 🥰😘
Hi Jen, so great that you can cut your own hair! Every once in a while, I compliment a woman with a nice short haircut, and they tell me they did it themselves! Amazing ;-D All the best to you love! x
Kerry-Lou, your hair looks gorgeous! Can't wait to try it! I have used a blow dryer and a round brush to straighten my wavy/curly hair most of the time. Now, I'm going to embrace my curls instead of trying to straighten them out. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I have hair pretty much the same color as yours and the curly look is so great on you, I'm going to go for it on myself!
I'm wondering if this method will help train and shape the top half of my hair. After 42 years being on this planet thinking my hair just sucked, natural curls have stopped fighting and sort of became my hair. The bottom half gets super curly, my problem is the top half is more combination half waves half spiral and can make it look frizzy or sloppy. One thing that really helps is to run out and get those rain curls, i take full advantage of a good storm to drench my hair. Just squeeze the access and air dry and my whole head is great. This is all new to me as well. But I'm elated to find out i never had uncomfortable hair, i had no idea it wanted to curl * your hair is absolutely stunning in every way, the curls and color is magical!
I also have really curly under hair and the top is just mehhhh... wavy where it wants be and just a frizzy mess. I have to try this and maybe some new products. I'm SO tired of fighting the curl.
❤ I think I’m going to try this. In the past when I’d just let it dry naturally, I was nothing but frizz. I hope I have better luck with your way, thanks for sharing❣️
This is such an inspiring video! I’ve been in lockdown here in Toronto for months and have starting wearing my hair curly because it’s impossible to do anything else with it. I will definitely try this out as my curls aren’t as even or defined as I would like I am sure that this will help. Thanks so much
Wow what a fascinating video Kerry-Lou! Amazing to see the different ways you have cared for your hair and styled your curls over the last couple of videos!! Love it 💕💕💕
I am 72 and have very curly hair. I have worn it curly now for many yrs. Now turning grey and it is thiner I'm struggling with my hair routine to get away from the frizzes! I just discovered you on TH-cam & loving your videos! P.S. I too, would get dizzy dipping my head in a bowl. Although what a great tip and your hair looks beautiful.
My latest curly hair adventure has been learning about protein/moisture balance. I’m a little science averse so I just decided to do a protein treatment to see how my hair liked it. The results were fabulous! My curls came to life like never before. There are lots of good TH-cam videos about protein treatments and products. Sorry I waited so long to investigate!
Yes, I've been looking into this too, so thanks for sharing your experience! Apparently you can over-do protein also, so one has to make sure that's what your hair needs. Sounds like you found the right balance though ;-D
I too have grown my wavy hair out during COVID. I love it and I also get the same feedback you do about how much my friends liked my shorter look. What your video has shown me that is different is using the t-shirt to set the curl. That will be my next trick and I do believe it will really enhance the curl before diffusing. You're beautiful with or without makeup and I do enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much Belinda. It can take a while to get the perfect balance of products and techniques so that our curly hair can look it's best. Even then, the seasons change, and so does your hair! I just FEEL good with my hair longer right now, even if some people like it short, you have to go with how it makes you feel I think. All the best to you on your hair journey ;-D
KL, I just discovered your channel and appreciate your candid, no airs approach to beauty at a mature stage. I too have wavy curly hair naturally and the silver is resistant to retaining moisture and behaving. LOL Thank you for the video. I'm going to try the method and see if "plopping" works for me. Stay safe. Happy New Year!
I do not have curly hair but I find it fascinating to watch the great lengths one has to go to to care for curly hair. I think you look gorgeous, and I mean gorgeous, with blown out hair or your natural curls. You must have great core strength in order to make this video. Amazing. 🤗 You look wonderful without makeup. No need at all to apologize. But I do understand how you feel. It can be a vulnerable feeling sans makeup. You are lovely with or without makeup. 😊 A very fun video. I wonder what girls/women did for their curly hair when I was a child. 🤔 I don't think they had all these products and methods. So very interesting. You are so sweet. ❤
I enjoy your videos and your personality, up beat and fun. I'm nearing 65 yo, have natural curly hair but disappointingly thinning hair every year. You dear lady have much more hair than most our age. Such a gift. I purchased the Aveda products you used in a video, and now see you using other products. I like the curly product but wonder if any other product would give me more illusion of having thicker hair. Would darkening from golden blonde to a degree lower help? I color my hair with Loreal's Box Champagne Blonde and have so a couple times a year for 30 years. I may have to just cut it short but I'm almost 6 ft and fear looking like a pin head LOL
I didn’t even realize my hair was curly. I grew my hair out and started to air dry it and poof, it’s curly again like when I was a child and I’m a few months away from 60….so I’m really new at this. By the way you’re a gorgeous lady and thanks for the informative video.
Thanks so much Lori! I've come across a lot of people that didn't consider their hair curly, but when they try these methods and curly hair products they suddenly have curls! Have fun with yours! x
Your hair look beautiful. I’m on the road getting my hair gray and curly. You are an inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing this information; I will try this method.
After close to 40 years of life, I've finally realized my frizzy hair isn't straight. Now I'm trying to learn how to style it from scratch. So far, this method has been the easiest and most effective for my wavy/curly hair. I get really good results with only air drying. This video was really easy to follow and it's nice seeing results from only a few products.
So glad this was helpful! All of us curly girls have to end up experimenting and finding out what works best for our unique curl patterns - good luck on your curly journey!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your demonstration. You are most kind. I get it, and will try this. As we share information and educate one another, we move others to share educate as well. Makes for a nice world.
This is very helpful for women with grey hair! My hair is very curly and "wirey" underneath and the top section tends to be straighter. Ugh! I will try your method tomorrow. Thank you.
I can relate to you so much in this video! I have very similar hair...it's curly and gray. Over the last year, I let my hair grow out too. I've never allowed the curls to exist...have always had it straightened or I have blown it out straight. Letting my hair go curly is not something I know how to do....so thank you for this video. I'm going to give it a try. I need to update my photo that I have on here too. It was taken about 5 years ago when I colored and did keratin treatments on my hair!
Road testing this method today - thank you Kerry-Lou. If anyone had/has the same problem as I did - dripping wet hair from the bowl method and then trying to get yourself dry and dressed from the shower - I put my wet hair into a turbie twist for not even five minutes while I got dry/dressed before releasing and plopping. I put the turbie twist on the opposite way to how I would normally do it - the wide part to my upper forehead with head tipped forward so all hair to the front and twisting very gently at the nape of the neck, meaning no hair in the twisted section. Looking forward to seeing the results later today.
My hair is fine, gray and the length of yours. You got just enough cut so the curls bounce back. Mine is top heavy, once I get a layer or 2, I'll play more. I love Not Your Mother's curl talk. You look awesome!
Hello Kerry Lou, loving your videos. I try all sorts of methods with my hair. The important thing for me is to retain the hair pattern, frizz free and to have it last all day wearing a headset for my job. I unfortunately have to remove it a minimum of 20 times daily. Sooo I tend to use super hold mousse. The first day it looks good and shiny. Day two, good hold, no shine and clumpy. Day three, no shine, dingy looking, and all over the place. Once in a while a miracle happens, and I look presentable for 3 days before the next wash. This brings me to another problem. In the am I fix it for work, hence the mousse. Not a lot of prep time and it has to be dry by 9.30am after staring at 6.30am on day one! By the time I'm on the phone. Now it really isn't dry, which is why I look like the wicked witch of the west by day 3. It does look a bit clumpy, no time to get the cast out before my 1.30 lunch break. Find extra hold Tressame does hold it. I would like a softer look, but it won't hold with the headset. Suggestions welcome. It is crunchy at times. Keeping it straight and frizz free in Fl humidity is not easy. I have the same problem if I wear it straight, with endlessly dragging it through a straightening iron. Still, I can get it looking good before I exit my front door. By the time I get to the car it's time to start again. Help. Again, suggestions are welcome.
Very helpful video! I use my husband's old cast off t-shirts for plopping. Lol! I ended up cutting off the sleeves, (they're size XL). I agree, I don't like the term 'clumps' either. I use the same curl gel, like it very much. Smells good too! :)
Your hair is beautiful and really suits you immensely, you look beautiful as always. I have been growing my grey hair out since the pandemic started and I love the colour which is similar to yours.
Thank you Sharon, I'm happy to hear that you're happy with your gray hair! I find it a great feeling knowing I'll never put any more chemicals on my head! best xx
@@kerrylou3 lorraine Massey, the inventor of the Curly Girl Method started the silver trend a few years ago. She’d love you for never putting more chemicals on your hair! If you haven’t already, go to her Facebook page. You’ll find her latest book on silver hair in Amazon. I love your hair, mine is similar but even finer and more fragile. My sides break too easily and continuously try to find remedies/solutions for that. Love your channel and your authenticity. Thank you!
Merry Lou, I have salt and pepper hair, curly and wavy but I noticed that my gray has a tiny yellow tint to it, what you suggest I do. Love your videos, very well done and you take your time explaining how to make your hair healthy. Thank you ☺️
@Kerry-Lou Thank you for sharing this. So much great curly hair videos out there but so FEW for GREY hair. And as you note, it IS different. Question…how many times a week do you do this? Where does this fall into, say, a week of hair care? I would love a video of you explaining you hair care schedule - from one wash day to the next. Thanks!
Thanks Margaret! I do this technique about once a week, and it will look good for 2 to 3 days. I tend to do a lot of curly up-do's in-between. Yes, I will think about a video explaining the routine! xx
Your hair looks amazing...I am glad (but it's your hair) that you only got it trimmed. I like the convenience of having my hair a bit longer, too. Who would think that doing curly hair would be such a workout!!! LOL!!! I beg to differ...you still look pretty upside down sans makeup! I just did the "bowl" technique, and I am sitting here with a turban made from T-shirt material on my head. I will let you know it it turns out after I try it a few times. And, the blouse and kimono...they are not beautiful...they are breathtaking. So elegant and classy...just gorgeous. Take care, Carol. :-)
Kerry -Lou - I am transitioning to grey hair and have curly hair and your videos have been a blessing! Both inspiring and helpful!! Thank you so much! And BTW, you look lovely with a fresh clean face!
Hi Kerry Lou . I love your vids. I've always worn my hair naturally curly since I was young. My grey is all grown out now. It took about 2 years. Sooo happy I did it. I will be 66 in July. I just hated dealing with roots.lol. I will be trying this plopping technique . Thank you!! Thea💕👍
Sounds like you’re really enjoying your natural hair, good for you! Let me know how you like this technique. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries, you might vary the amount of conditioner and gel until you get the amounts that work for you 😉
I love your videos. I feel as young on the outside as I do on the inside. Thank you so much. I am growing out a curly pixie that I have because I am embracing my gray hair. You were my inspiration for just cutting it off as an option to get to that gray faster. I am a huge proponent of the curly girl method. It brings out my curls so well. My curly mohawk was fabulous and somewhat edgy. I could style it with a healthy dose of gel and air dry it or use a diffuser (I am not one to spend a lot of time with my hair). I want something softer now that does not scream "old lady" so I am slowly growing it out. I LOVE how your hair looks and it has the same kind of curl that mine does. Here's the big question. Do your curls fall naturally the way we see on video, or do you have to do a lot of work with a curling iron to get it look so lovely. I imagine that it has to be just so for the camera, but I am hoping that I wouldn't have to spend a hour in front of the mirror trying to replicate it.
@@kerrylou3 it is the happiest I've been with my curls for a long while. Been doing curly girl since 2018 and am also loving my silvers! Couldn't find my plastic bowl so used my gold panning bowl 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a curly girl in her mid-fifties, I proclaim you a goddess, mentor, and guru!!! You, Kerry Lou, are beauty exemplified! You age with a grace and decorum to which I aspire.
Peace to you, lovely lady. Keep inspiring us!
Thank you so much for your encouragement and sweetness, I so appreciate it! 💕🙏🏻
I feel the same way! :)
I agree 💯! I needed this upload.
Your hair looks fabulous and so healthy. I’m just jumping on the “be curly” train after fighting my curls for 60 years.
Thanks Joyce, it takes a little patience to get your products right, eg the right formulas, quantities etc, but I think it's worth it ;-D
Me too..only I've given up the fight after 65 years! Child of the 60s here!
You look stunning with curly hair. It truly becomes you!
Just found your videos and I am thrilled. You have my hair and I am growing it out now too! Please do lots more hair videos. I would love to see how you diffuse and so much more. Thanks for helping us curly silvers!
Omgoodness what we as women go through to be beautiful! You are so down to earth! Love you! You are gorgeous, make up or not!
❤you are beautiful with or without makeup. Do you have skin care and makeup videos?
Your hair looks absolutely stunning!!!... he did an amazing job!... love it!!!

Oh, Kerry Lou, your hair looks gorgeous, soft corkscrew curls that look so springy. Enviable!

Thanks so much for this Cathy, It's really hard to keep up with our changing hair needs isn't it? I think many of us are still trying to style our hair the way we used to, even though our needs have changed so much. Good to take a fresh look sometimes. Yes, I agree about mixing lines of products. Good luck with the rest of your curly hair journey! xx
You hair is so much more interesting curly! Fits your personality better. Love it.
Thank you so much, the weather has become less humid this week, so I’m letting my hair be natural and curly!
dont be daft, your a natural beauty. Thank you for the information, im going to give it a try😀
😊 thank you, hope this method works out well for you!
Beautiful outcome, I love the swishy look of your healthy, curly locks. Thank you for all your prep work to make this informative video. You’re the best beauty instructor! 💕
I'm even later to this party than you! I've heard of the "curly girl method" but assumed it was a product line. I've always had curly hair and accepted its tendency to frizz. However, lately with more grays coming in, the frizz just makes me look like a harridan---not a good look! I will be trying this method very soon! Thank you for your vulnerability in doing this on camera for us. So helpful!
Glad you liked this Deborah, I hope you like this method ;-D
I have the same curly hair as you, and have been letting it grow over a year now, I will try your method of drying my hair from now on....thank you for all your tips very helpful 😀 🌻
Wow Kerry-Lou what you do for us subs, thank you! I haven't had a professional haircut for about 18 months. Mine is really super short and I "attack" it with clippers for back and sides and scissors for the top with hand held mirror - every 3 weeks. I love yours blown out and curly and admit I have never heard the terms "bowl method" and "plopping" but it's a great result. Hope you and yours are well and happy 🥰😘
Hi Jen, so great that you can cut your own hair! Every once in a while, I compliment a woman with a nice short haircut, and they tell me they did it themselves! Amazing ;-D All the best to you love! x
I’ve heard of the bowl method but haven’t tried it. Thanks for sharing!! Your hair looks great!
Never heard of plopping! TH-cam algorithm recommended this video! Learn something new every day! Liked and subbed from Newfoundland!
Kerry-Lou, your hair looks gorgeous! Can't wait to try it! I have used a blow dryer and a round brush to straighten my wavy/curly hair most of the time. Now, I'm going to embrace my curls instead of trying to straighten them out. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I have hair pretty much the same color as yours and the curly look is so great on you, I'm going to go for it on myself!
Thank you so much! I hope this method works great for you too!
I'm wondering if this method will help train and shape the top half of my hair. After 42 years being on this planet thinking my hair just sucked, natural curls have stopped fighting and sort of became my hair. The bottom half gets super curly, my problem is the top half is more combination half waves half spiral and can make it look frizzy or sloppy.
One thing that really helps is to run out and get those rain curls, i take full advantage of a good storm to drench my hair. Just squeeze the access and air dry and my whole head is great.
This is all new to me as well. But I'm elated to find out i never had uncomfortable hair, i had no idea it wanted to curl
* your hair is absolutely stunning in every way, the curls and color is magical!
I also have really curly under hair and the top is just mehhhh... wavy where it wants be and just a frizzy mess. I have to try this and maybe some new products. I'm SO tired of fighting the curl.
❤ I think I’m going to try this. In the past when I’d just let it dry naturally, I was nothing but frizz. I hope I have better luck with your way, thanks for sharing❣️
This is such an inspiring video! I’ve been in lockdown here in Toronto for months and have starting wearing my hair curly because it’s impossible to do anything else with it. I will definitely try this out as my curls aren’t as even or defined as I would like I am sure that this will help. Thanks so much
Wow what a fascinating video Kerry-Lou! Amazing to see the different ways you have cared for your hair and styled your curls over the last couple of videos!! Love it 💕💕💕
Thanks so much! 😊 Yes, it's definitely a fun journey! All the best to you Tracey! xx
I am 72 and have very curly hair. I have worn it curly now for many yrs. Now turning grey and it is thiner I'm struggling with my hair routine to get away from the frizzes! I just discovered you on TH-cam & loving your videos! P.S. I too, would get dizzy dipping my head in a bowl. Although what a great tip and your hair looks beautiful.
Thanks for watching and for your nice comment Tait!
My latest curly hair adventure has been learning about protein/moisture balance. I’m a little science averse so I just decided to do a protein treatment to see how my hair liked it. The results were fabulous! My curls came to life like never before. There are lots of good TH-cam videos about protein treatments and products. Sorry I waited so long to investigate!
Yes, I've been looking into this too, so thanks for sharing your experience! Apparently you can over-do protein also, so one has to make sure that's what your hair needs. Sounds like you found the right balance though ;-D
So happy to see videos about curly hair. Seems we curly heads are always left out of the styling suggestions. Natural curly hair can be beautiful too.
I too have grown my wavy hair out during COVID. I love it and I also get the same feedback you do about how much my friends liked my shorter look. What your video has shown me that is different is using the t-shirt to set the curl. That will be my next trick and I do believe it will really enhance the curl before diffusing. You're beautiful with or without makeup and I do enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much Belinda. It can take a while to get the perfect balance of products and techniques so that our curly hair can look it's best. Even then, the seasons change, and so does your hair! I just FEEL good with my hair longer right now, even if some people like it short, you have to go with how it makes you feel I think. All the best to you on your hair journey ;-D
This is my favourite curly girl video ever! 💕
Wow! that's such a nice compliment, thanks so much!
KL, I just discovered your channel and appreciate your candid, no airs approach to beauty at a mature stage. I too have wavy curly hair naturally and the silver is resistant to retaining moisture and behaving. LOL Thank you for the video. I'm going to try the method and see if "plopping" works for me. Stay safe. Happy New Year!
I do not have curly hair but I find it fascinating to watch the great lengths one has to go to to care for curly hair. I think you look gorgeous, and I mean gorgeous, with blown out hair or your natural curls. You must have great core strength in order to make this video. Amazing. 🤗 You look wonderful without makeup. No need at all to apologize. But I do understand how you feel. It can be a vulnerable feeling sans makeup. You are lovely with or without makeup. 😊 A very fun video. I wonder what girls/women did for their curly hair when I was a child. 🤔 I don't think they had all these products and methods. So very interesting. You are so sweet. ❤
I enjoy your videos and your personality, up beat and fun. I'm nearing 65 yo, have natural curly hair but disappointingly thinning hair every year. You dear lady have much more hair than most our age. Such a gift. I purchased the Aveda products you used in a video, and now see you using other products. I like the curly product but wonder if any other product would give me more illusion of having thicker hair. Would darkening from golden blonde to a degree lower help? I color my hair with Loreal's Box Champagne Blonde and have so a couple times a year for 30 years. I may have to just cut it short but I'm almost 6 ft and fear looking like a pin head LOL
I didn’t even realize my hair was curly. I grew my hair out and started to air dry it and poof, it’s curly again like when I was a child and I’m a few months away from 60….so I’m really new at this. By the way you’re a gorgeous lady and thanks for the informative video.
Thanks so much Lori! I've come across a lot of people that didn't consider their hair curly, but when they try these methods and curly hair products they suddenly have curls! Have fun with yours! x
Love your channel! Love that you show the real you, both with and without makeup. It shows that you are Velveteen 😉
Thanks so much! xx
Your hair look beautiful. I’m on the road getting my hair gray and curly. You are an inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing this information; I will try this method.
You are so welcome, thank you. I hope it went well for you!
Thanks for sharing this method. It’s is new to me so I am appreciative of your video. You are stunning with it without makeup.
Thank you so much Diane, so sweet of you 🌸
OMG, you look amazing, your hair is amazing, you're so beautiful! You're glowing, you look gorgeous.
Thank you so much!!
After close to 40 years of life, I've finally realized my frizzy hair isn't straight. Now I'm trying to learn how to style it from scratch. So far, this method has been the easiest and most effective for my wavy/curly hair. I get really good results with only air drying. This video was really easy to follow and it's nice seeing results from only a few products.
So glad this was helpful! All of us curly girls have to end up experimenting and finding out what works best for our unique curl patterns - good luck on your curly journey!
You are so fun! Thank you for the demonstration. I just had 10" of pandemic length cut off! I'll be trying this today.
Glad you liked this Meagan, I hope this method worked for you!
Loving your curly hair Journey. I have started growing out my hair again I'm ready to go back to my curls. Thank you so much for sharing these
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your demonstration. You are most kind. I get it, and will try this. As we share information and educate one another, we move others to share educate as well. Makes for a nice world.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, we all help each other ;-D
This is very helpful for women with grey hair! My hair is very curly and "wirey" underneath and the top section tends to be straighter. Ugh! I will try your method tomorrow. Thank you.
Love the way you explain . Will try the Bowl method .
Hope you enjoy!
I can relate to you so much in this video! I have very similar hair...it's curly and gray. Over the last year, I let my hair grow out too. I've never allowed the curls to exist...have always had it straightened or I have blown it out straight. Letting my hair go curly is not something I know how to do....so thank you for this video. I'm going to give it a try. I need to update my photo that I have on here too. It was taken about 5 years ago when I colored and did keratin treatments on my hair!
I would love to hear how you get on with this method! I blow out my hair too sometimes, it's nice to switch it up.
Kerry Lou, as you let your hair grow out, what do you ask for when you get trims? What type of shape do you ask for? Your hair looks great.
You are beautiful with or without makeup! Thanks for the info. My hair is just like yours just a litter shorter! I’m growing it back out! ❤️
Thank you so much!! Good luck with your hair grow out :-D
Road testing this method today - thank you Kerry-Lou. If anyone had/has the same problem as I did - dripping wet hair from the bowl method and then trying to get yourself dry and dressed from the shower - I put my wet hair into a turbie twist for not even five minutes while I got dry/dressed before releasing and plopping. I put the turbie twist on the opposite way to how I would normally do it - the wide part to my upper forehead with head tipped forward so all hair to the front and twisting very gently at the nape of the neck, meaning no hair in the twisted section. Looking forward to seeing the results later today.
My hair is fine, gray and the length of yours. You got just enough cut so the curls bounce back. Mine is top heavy, once I get a layer or 2, I'll play more. I love Not Your Mother's curl talk. You look awesome!
Hello Kerry Lou, loving your videos. I try all sorts of methods with my hair. The important thing for me is to retain the hair pattern, frizz free and to have it last all day wearing a headset for my job. I unfortunately have to remove it a minimum of 20 times daily. Sooo I tend to use super hold mousse. The first day it looks good and shiny. Day two, good hold, no shine and clumpy. Day three, no shine, dingy looking, and all over the place. Once in a while a miracle happens, and I look presentable for 3 days before the next wash. This brings me to another problem. In the am I fix it for work, hence the mousse. Not a lot of prep time and it has to be dry by 9.30am after staring at 6.30am on day one! By the time I'm on the phone. Now it really isn't dry, which is why I look like the wicked witch of the west by day 3. It does look a bit clumpy, no time to get the cast out before my 1.30 lunch break. Find extra hold Tressame does hold it. I would like a softer look, but it won't hold with the headset. Suggestions welcome. It is crunchy at times. Keeping it straight and frizz free in Fl humidity is not easy. I have the same problem if I wear it straight, with endlessly dragging it through a straightening iron. Still, I can get it looking good before I exit my front door. By the time I get to the car it's time to start again. Help. Again, suggestions are welcome.
I feel like I can do this now!! Thanks so much for this video. I live watching you.
I love your curly hair - looks great
WHAT A HEAD OF HAIR !
WHAT A GORGEOUS KIMONO!
❤🇱🇷❤
Love the cut and style! Gorgeous 💖
Love your curly hair 😊👍
No matter how you style your hair you always look fabulous. You just are beautiful and have have such great style. xoCathy
Thank you so much Cathy, hope you're having a great weekend! xx
Very helpful video! I use my husband's old cast off t-shirts for plopping. Lol! I ended up cutting off the sleeves, (they're size XL). I agree, I don't like the term 'clumps' either. I use the same curl gel, like it very much. Smells good too! :)
Thanks for the feed-back, it's good to know what works for others! xx
Your hair is beautiful and really suits you immensely, you look beautiful as always. I have been growing my grey hair out since the pandemic started and I love the colour which is similar to yours.
Thank you Sharon, I'm happy to hear that you're happy with your gray hair! I find it a great feeling knowing I'll never put any more chemicals on my head! best xx
@@kerrylou3 lorraine Massey, the inventor of the Curly Girl Method started the silver trend a few years ago. She’d love you for never putting more chemicals on your hair! If you haven’t already, go to her Facebook page. You’ll find her latest book on silver hair in Amazon. I love your hair, mine is similar but even finer and more fragile. My sides break too easily and continuously try to find remedies/solutions for that. Love your channel and your authenticity. Thank you!
You are drop dead beautiful, graceful,& intelligent. Subscribed!
You're so kind, thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing!
How do you keep your hair looking good until the next wash?
I can’t wait to try this! I loved the way yours turned out!
Thanks so much, let me know how it goes!
Great idea - tried it & liked the results
Thanks so much for the feed-back! glad to hear :-D
Great info - thank you!
Your hair is so beautiful! Thank you for a great helpful video.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Beautiful curls!!!
Thank you!!
Merry Lou, I have salt and pepper hair, curly and wavy but I noticed that my gray has a tiny yellow tint to it, what you suggest I do. Love your videos, very well done and you take your time explaining how to make your hair healthy. Thank you ☺️
@Kerry-Lou Thank you for sharing this. So much great curly hair videos out there but so FEW for GREY hair. And as you note, it IS different. Question…how many times a week do you do this? Where does this fall into, say, a week of hair care? I would love a video of you explaining you hair care schedule - from one wash day to the next. Thanks!
Thanks Margaret! I do this technique about once a week, and it will look good for 2 to 3 days. I tend to do a lot of curly up-do's in-between. Yes, I will think about a video explaining the routine! xx
I appreciate very much what you are teaching. Thank you.❤🇨🇦❤
Your hair looks amazing...I am glad (but it's your hair) that you only got it trimmed. I like the convenience of having my hair a bit longer, too. Who would think that doing curly hair would be such a workout!!! LOL!!! I beg to differ...you still look pretty upside down sans makeup! I just did the "bowl" technique, and I am sitting here with a turban made from T-shirt material on my head. I will let you know it it turns out after I try it a few times. And, the blouse and kimono...they are not beautiful...they are breathtaking. So elegant and classy...just gorgeous. Take care, Carol. :-)
Kerry -Lou - I am transitioning to grey hair and have curly hair and your videos have been a blessing! Both inspiring and helpful!! Thank you so much! And BTW, you look lovely with a fresh clean face!
Thank you! So glad you are enjoying the videos, thanks for watching! x
Hi Kerry Lou . I love your vids. I've always worn my hair naturally curly since I was young. My grey is all grown out now. It took about 2 years. Sooo happy I did it.
I will be 66 in July. I just hated dealing with roots.lol. I will be trying this plopping technique . Thank you!!
Thea💕👍
Sounds like you’re really enjoying your natural hair, good for you! Let me know how you like this technique. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries, you might vary the amount of conditioner and gel until you get the amounts that work for you 😉
Thank you, you are a beautiful lady, classy, well spoken, nice to hav someone our age helping us, we need it!!! Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much! x
Thank you, Kerry! Your hair is lovely. Will try the technique with my curly hair.
You're welcome, let me know how it goes!
I love your videos. I feel as young on the outside as I do on the inside. Thank you so much. I am growing out a curly pixie that I have because I am embracing my gray hair. You were my inspiration for just cutting it off as an option to get to that gray faster. I am a huge proponent of the curly girl method. It brings out my curls so well. My curly mohawk was fabulous and somewhat edgy. I could style it with a healthy dose of gel and air dry it or use a diffuser (I am not one to spend a lot of time with my hair). I want something softer now that does not scream "old lady" so I am slowly growing it out. I LOVE how your hair looks and it has the same kind of curl that mine does. Here's the big question. Do your curls fall naturally the way we see on video, or do you have to do a lot of work with a curling iron to get it look so lovely. I imagine that it has to be just so for the camera, but I am hoping that I wouldn't have to spend a hour in front of the mirror trying to replicate it.
Thank you Kerry-Lou. I've got my bowl ready to go. Lately it seems my hair is dry and brittle, and it looks it too.
I love all your videos, thank you so much.
You are beautiful!! Now I want to grow my hair out.
Your hair is beautiful straight or curly. A great length as well...so many options for styling!
You are really limber!! That's a blessing!!
Such a great result today from using this method, thank you so much for sharing this. All your hair needs is water!
Hope it turned out well for you!
@@kerrylou3 it is the happiest I've been with my curls for a long while. Been doing curly girl since 2018 and am also loving my silvers! Couldn't find my plastic bowl so used my gold panning bowl 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very informative video. Thank you and your curly hair looks beautiful.
Glad you liked it Janice, thank you!
Love your hair 🤩
