THE ‘FLIP SECTION METHOD’ INCLUDES:
✨Upside down sectioning, but with the use of your hand and/or arm as your section divider. This routine enables you to ‘brush style’ create ‘ribbon curls’ upside down in 3 parts to avoid section confusion. The act of ‘brush styling’ upside down, results in maximum volume and definition. The method also involves bringing your curls upright again without them getting stuck.
❗THIS METHOD MAY NOT WORK:
✨For every single curl type, I have only trialled this on myself, however I have had feedback from a lot of people within my instagram curl community with all different curl types and density, majority have given positive feedback on their results.
✨If you are prone to neck, back ache or dizziness, this method may not be the best for you.
❗IMPORTANT TO MENTION:
This routine is a lot quicker (IRL) doing it yourself. I have purposely slowed down the routine for ease of showing each step in the most detail possible. I will typically have the products on the ground in front of me so I can stay upside down the entire time. The styling itself takes me very little time.

Just tried it and my immidiate response was "no f**king way!" It worked SO well I can't stand it-- It's great, my curls look bouncier and juicier than ever! I love it! I'll have to change my styling products next time because the ones I used today were more hydrating and my hair is in need of some nutrition, but other than that it's perfect. Thank you so so so much! Lots of love from Brazil ❤🇧🇷

[@have3kidstoo746]

LoL I did this last night and OMG the shrinkage was too much for me. But the definition and the way it made my hair look thicker, that I loved. I will play around with it. 😊

[@learnngrow565]

I can't thank you enough for your videos. I have seen innumerable curly videos over so many years and its only after watching you I understood how to handle my head's back portion.
Thanks so so much ❤

[@sarahreay16]

I've only ever done this once and when I did it looked like I'd had a perm!!! It was gorgeous 😍 thanks for the video

[@sophiemariecurly]

Ah this is amazing to hear 😍🥰🥰

[@sarahb2652]

[@KristinaGehrmann]

?

[@miss_error6390]

Obsessed 😍😍

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@rebeccaw1108]

I love your hair!! It is so cute. What hair type would you say you have? 3a or 3b? I feel like my curls are like yours but not as cute. Im going to try this technique

[@deandrajohnson1973]

I have been doing a version of this myself without the brush styling cause I wash every day and didn’t want the mechanical damage of that much brush styling. So far so good. 🤞🏾

[@victoriaprumar7775]

Muchas gracias por la técnica. Voy a probarla para ver si me funciona, porque yo tengo el cabello rizado pero es muy fino, por lo tanto no se me riza en las raíces sino solo de medios a puntas, y por esto no consigo darle volumen. Volveré para comentar si me funcionó.

[@TheTjoy910]

Do you put product (leave-in) on all of your hair evenly or just the bottom? Video just showed you applying to tge bottom, and I know some people prefer product free roots.

[@sadiemencia3112]

Hi there! Just to clarify after you wash your hair you don’t use a regular wash out conditioner?

[@have3kidstoo746]

What type of comb is that you're using to separate the clumps?

[@cp-qp6nn]

I’m not sure if I’m doing it wrong. When you sectioning and brushing you see too have tangles and looks smooth. I followed exactly what you do but I still end up with so many tangles even using tangle teezer brush. I do have very dense medium thickness hair type 3a. Maybe my hairs too dense? I did have very nice defined curls after but it was very hard to do thins because of the tangles couldn’t brush through my hair easily especially the nap of the neck area was the worst for tangles do you ever have this problem at the nap of the neck?

[@AngelaVEdwards]

Your hair is beautiful and I love this technique. I can't personally use it because I have too much hair. I have tried it three different times and I just have a huge bunch of hair and can't get this to work. Unfortunately. 😥

[@fralencemelograno]

Which method do you find best, for I too have a bit too much hair and struggle with it

[@maryc6091]

Do you find that Curlsmith hair spray has some grit and hold? Tia😀

[@angeladpsp1]

Good Question 👍🏼 😊
