Even though it’s not your preferred look, the frizzy look works on you. It looks like you were enjoying the outdoors or were at the beach. It looks beautiful!
Courtney, I agree with some of the comments, that the “frizzy” look is beautiful. It looks wild and carefree. It looks softer. Curly hair is imperfect.
I think the most important thing I learned from this video is that “your frizz” bothers you way more than it bothers anyone else! Like you, looking close at your hair in this video, I would deem it a bad hair day. But looking at your hair from afar, it looks awesome! I need to remember that people are not up close and personal checking out my hair during the day. Fearfully and wonderfully made!
It's true that your hair looks really pretty in a wild and savage way 😂, I love it ❤. I think it's super interesting how the perception of our self and how other people see us can be completely different. In my case, when I have frizzy hair, I think "oh, it looks pretty" then I touche it and think "Oh, it's terrible" because it's tangled and rough 😂
Yep. My hair improved once I added a clarifying shampoo. It was a discovery for me. The other thing was that my hair was frizzy because it wasn't wet enough when I styled it. So now I'm really knowledgeable about what my hair loves or doesn't love, and I'm happy with my waves/curls. Another thing that help was the use of styling and detangling brushes.
Thank you for going over the basics. I’ve been wearing my hair wavy/curly for 9 years and I feel like it’s not as curly due to my own changed habits. It may be by mistake, so I appreciate the reminder of the tried and true process. Have a wonderful new year!
Hehe. Yeah. I'm back to wanting to try this after a stint with short hair and blow dried bobs. And just wearing my hair in a loose ponytail, pretty much, for the last 6 months or so. I remember watching a couple of your videos when I was trying the curly girl method first, a couple years ago. Gald to see, you're still around and your hair is thriving! Now let's get rid of that frizz together!
@ The good news is I’ve been getting TONS of compliments on my hair since the first day I went back to my natural waves - so that helps me stay strong! ❤️ Thank you for doin’ the Lord’s work!
I’m in transition of the perimenopause kind, lol. All of a sudden my straight hair has started getting wavy. I’m about a year into it but I have long hair so only the top 8 inches is wavy. It’s hard not reverting back to heat styling my hair to make it all one texture, but I’m resisting so that I don’t damage the new waves and make the transition take even longer. So basically I’m gonna look a hot mess until i can chop off the old straight stuff. It’s frustrating! But I’m learning a lot with your content and can’t wait for the tricks to work.
It sounds like you're navigating quite a transition with your hair! Embracing the new waves can be tricky, but you're doing a great job resisting heat styling to protect them. Don’t worry about the mixed textures for now; it's all part of the process. Keep experimenting, and remember, patience is your best friend here. I’m here to help you every step of the way!
I totally understand where you’re at. I always had S-waves, but two pregnancies and later menopause turned my waves into honest to goodness curls. Menopause also changed my texture from coarse to soft. I got my first curly girl dry cut in fall 2019. It took a couple of cuts for D to get rid of all the “texturizing” layers I had. (My profile pic is about 2 years into the journey.). Enjoy the ride as your hormones take you to the curly side. And don’t be afraid to start the curly girl habits now while you’re in transition.
I have a straight-ish patch that is coarser, but fortunately, it's starting to develop a wave at the end with brush styling. I can then blend it in with a curl clump just below it.
I started dying & highlighting hair again and curls left. They are slowly coming back and am playing with stopping and just being gray. (Even though the last time hubby said I looked like a witch). Watching this makes me think I may need a bit more product too. Thanks for all you do Courtney.
Maybe instead of going for permanent dye, you could try glazing instead. It’s demi-permanent, so it washes away gradually. Talk to your stylist and get their thoughts.
This video reminded me of how badly I need a hair cut. I keep stalling because I’m on the fence about covering my silver sparkle strands. They make me think my very dark hair is dirty…lol
I'm about a month into figuring out that I actually have wavy hair, but am frustrated and having a Willy Wonka Veruca Salt issue (Don't care how, I want it NOW!). Great big blobs of gel give me waves for a couple hours, at least and I'm taking time to try and find products that work. Deep breaths and baby steps. All the guys at work think my hair looks great though! I do have a shower head with a filter in it so people with hard water might give that a go. Thanks for all the great videos and calming advice. :)
It took me 18 months to get rid of all the chemical straightening in my hair. My frizz is linked to glycerin, there is a very small window were the dew point allows me to use stylers with high quantities of glycerin (only came across a couple of formulations which escape this rule)... Each wavy-curly head is unique 😊
Like the all the information. Im having problem with my wavy and curly hair my hairdresser used thinning shears and put layers it is very frizzy looks like a mess my hair is thick coarse so im blow dry my hair with a round brush 😞😢
My hair is naturally brown, but graying fast, so I’ve been ‘blonde’ with highlights for about 5 years. I don’t want to go back to brown. Any suggestions on products?
When I look back at my "before photos" I like to think of them as good wash days at the time like when I was 12 years old learning how to do my hair. Anyway, am I the only one who didn't straighten my hair hardly ever but instead asked for a curling iron for my 12th birthday? I also had two perm mishaps as a teenager.
Build up can stay of the end of hair. It is also best to shampoo the ends of hair on the last wash of shampoo. Also another way to avoid frizz is to not touch hair as much.
I actually recommend gently pulling the lather through the lengths of your hair. This method works wonderfully-it cleanses effectively without roughing up the hair cuticle, so you avoid causing any damage.
I feel like my hair looks better when I use conditioner that has silicone in it and it’s silicone free whenever I’ve used a silicone free conditioner I can always tell cause my hair does not look good. It makes it more like frizzy and more tangled even though I have naturally curly hair and that’s the kind that they encourage. I feel like with curly girls to like not have silicone in them. I feel like my curls actually like silicone conditioners.
There's a really good reason that conditioners had silicones in them... until recently, when someone did that silly scrape test. Silicones make hair smooth. It fills in all the lifted cuticle damage to make it smooth and shiny. Of course, TCGM demonized them for build-up. We'll, yeah, when you don't wash your hair (yep, coswashing) ANYTING will build up. Now that they finally decided to put the demonized sulfates back in shampoos, silicones are a non-issue. Wash your hair, use silicones, and be happy 😁💗💗💗
io ho i capelli mossi ma amo anche averli lisci, tu parli di memoria dei ricci , non è possibile acconciare i capelli in modo alternato senza rovinare il mosso? spero di no perchè sarebbe molto noioso averli sempre uguali
I gotta be honest and say that I really like the way your "frizzy" hair looks. I think it's beautiful 😍
You are so kind! Thank you!
I totally agree. I think the frizzy hair gives more volume and it really looks nice on you.
I like juicy curls, but the slight frizz look is pretty too!
Even though it’s not your preferred look, the frizzy look works on you. It looks like you were enjoying the outdoors or were at the beach. It looks beautiful!
Aw, you are so sweet, thank you!
Courtney, I agree with some of the comments, that the “frizzy” look is beautiful. It looks wild and carefree. It looks softer. Curly hair is imperfect.
I'm so glad you appreciate the "wild and carefree" look! 😅
Not gonna lie, your hair looks great like this 😃
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
“Fearfully and wonderfully made” I’m so happy you quoted that. Amen!

I like the frizzy hair better, its not so flat and oily looking like usually

Glad you want to try it again! You got this!
Your frizzy hair looks so beautiful. I liked it!!
Your before hair literally looks exactly what my hair looks like on the beginning of my journey. I have so much hope right now.
It’s so exciting to see the hope in your eyes (your comment that it 😅). You’re going to love where your hair journey takes you!
@ The good news is I’ve been getting TONS of compliments on my hair since the first day I went back to my natural waves - so that helps me stay strong! ❤️ Thank you for doin’ the Lord’s work!
I noticed right away your hair was different but a good different. It's beautiful and, off the subject, I love your tee shirts! Way to represent
Love your Videos. You helped me sooo much with my hair, since its nearly same structure and pattern. Thank you so much. Sending hugs from germany ♡
You are so welcome! Really appreciate you being here!
I’d love to see you try out Ashley LaMarca’s wavy/curly hair routine!

@@ItsJustLisa mine always had body but menopause turned it curly. Used to be fine and a lot of it now with the gray it’s a mixture of coarse/fine.
I have a straight-ish patch that is coarser, but fortunately, it's starting to develop a wave at the end with brush styling. I can then blend it in with a curl clump just below it.

I love that you’re embracing your natural hair journey! I bet you look stunning!

Gray/silver is the most beautiful color hair can be!

You know it’s funny I used to notice glycerin, causing more frizz in my hair. But now I don’t notice that being an issue at all anymore.

I did notice that cute little curl up front, in the beginning, as you said, it left. Lol! 😂 The curl has left the building. 😂
It's so funny how our curls sometimes get a mind of their own, right?

It sounds like you've found what works best for your hair, and that's the most important thing!

@@SwavyCurlyCourtney but doesn’t the V and Co conditioner showed in the video have silicones ? I want to try it out but that keeps me from trying it.
Your hair looks very nice in both ways frizzy and not frizzy. Your frizzy hair looks actually more voluminus.
That's my hair, everyday lol. Looks great on you, though ❤ Thanks for the tips 😊
I'm glad these tips could be helpful! I hope it helps make frizz a little less frustrating!
io ho i capelli mossi ma amo anche averli lisci, tu parli di memoria dei ricci , non è possibile acconciare i capelli in modo alternato senza rovinare il mosso? spero di no perchè sarebbe molto noioso averli sempre uguali
I swear my curls look best on days I’m running late and leave my hair to air dry in the cold winter air
Your "frizzy" hair would be a good hair day for my fine, low density hair! 😅
Amen! Her worst hair days are so much better than my best.
