@@valeriemea 👍 or similar type of hairbrush to the "Denman". The "Denman" type of brush is nothing new, it's been around for generations just never marketed with a name brand. You can find the same type of brush under different company names at beauty stores. "Denman" is over priced therefore over rated.
I also learned from one girl to shut the defuser off when moving to another area of hair and turn it back on once you have the next section in the defuser and up....then turn it back on-less frizz that way:). Watch Grace Walker-she gives a great demonstration:)
I’ve been doing this method for a long time, and there’s definitely a learning curve. Your hair probably flopped and felt very producty because you used way too much of everything. Throw away the Cantu. Not for your hair type (2a) and it’s much too heavy. It’s made for type 4 coily hair. You have waves, not curls or coils. If you want to use that mousse, your whole head needs a golf ball sized blob. I don’t like NYM Curl talk-leaves a film on my hair. I prefer gel or the foam by Curlsmith. Your hair needs lighter products and heavy products aren’t necessarily more moisturizing; they will just weigh your hair down. Try not to move the diffuser so much when you’re scrunching with it. My favorite lines are Curlsmith, Curls, Mielle, and As I Am. My hair is 2c/3a, high porosity and these are moisturizing without being too heavy. You probably also need a good amount of protein in some of your products. Hope I was a little helpful.
Excellent comments...will use some of those as my hair is finer but I use no silicones and that makes it almost impossible I find very light oils work with my hair because all smoothing products have silicones...btw frizzy thick med hair is not good sans silicone...it’s a job and a half Any recs for me would be welcome...I’m working with much thinner hair atm because of serious hair fall from an operation 6 months ago...anaesthetics not good for thick hair, any hair really
Manes by Mel has literally changed my hair life! It took me several weeks of watching and rewatching, making notes about ingredients, tweaking things for my preferences and then trial and error with stylers..., but now my hair is gorgeous!
I started my curly hair journey one year ago. I deep condition once a week and it’s made a huge difference. I use the two finger coil method. It works better than the single finger twist method. My hair has grown at least 6 inches in one year. It’s work but totally worth it! Thank you for sharing!
Your hair looks pretty and perfect for summer!! I've been following Mel's channel for quite some time, she has so much information on curly hair and she's so funny, love that girl!!
I like how you did this video. It made me realize even after following a how to video you still may need to practice until you get it the way you like it. The end result turned out nice!
I think it's great that you are embracing your natural curls I recently started doing that myself rather than straightening it every day and I am so happy I love it all so there is a lot to learn but once you get it down it's amazing
So true! I have been in the process for four years, only straighten my hair once a year & there’s so many products to use that will change as your curls do 🥺
Hi Lisa, we have similar hair. I have wavy, thick, and coarse hair. Our hair changes with time. AG Recoil was my HG in my late 20s and even Beyond the Zone Noodle Head (Sally's) but now I am 40 and those products don't work for me anymore. I just use Herbal Essences Set Me Up Mousse. Our hair changes so. much due to grey, hormones, genetics. Glad to see you going natural with your texture. I am doing the same. Thank you for your videos!
I have coarse thick frizzy hair and I'm going to try this now. I'm also going to get that brush and some of the products! Thank you! Your hair looks fantastic!!! 💕
No offense, but I think your other wavy hair routine was better for your hair texture (hair serum, watery mousse, and hair spray). Your hair looks "coated" and weighed down a bit.
Wow! How fun. Great video. Im going to try!! Lisa your skin is just unbelievably gorgeous!! Its flawless and firm! Glow Baby Glow! That juicing must really have an effect on your skin!! Omg I've never ever seen you look THIS healthy. Holy smokes!! Im jealous💋 Luv u
Way too much work and way too much product! Curly hair is more water and less product. Obviously if your hair is super long and curly, it’s a little more product but you shouldn’t have to use so many different products to get your curly hair beautiful! It’s important you use a good shampoo and conditioner and one curly hair product that will give you that beautiful coil/curl. Also it depends on how much hair you have. How you defuse your hair is extremely important, you must scrunch to activate your curl prior to defusing then once you start the defusing process, be gentle and make sure the hair is being cradled on the defuser so the curls are very defined. Ain’t no body got time to go through all that every morning before getting to work!
Thank you for your suggestions.. The whole point of styling this way and putting in all of this work is to only have to do it once per week. I got five days of no washing after this style. I could have even gone a full week :-)
Anybody whose been through the Curly Girl “method” learns this - Lol! I think the best things I learned after all the experimenting, is you’ll NEVER reach your springiest curl pattern if you dye and use a lot of heat of any kind often. Also, the product really does make a difference in the frizz amount between high humidity and low. I have my winter and my summer products ... basically if dew points are high skip the products that contain humectants ... they melt, resulting in frizz!
I agree! Way too much work! lol I am 5'8". My hair touches the floor and then some. It is actually curly, but this much primping, applying, and drying would take me until I was due another wash to complete all the steps! In the end, Lisa's hair looked very pretty, though. :)
You hair sounds like is like mine! I will try this. I think it looks like a lot of work because you were watching a video and trying to show what you both were doing. The drying is probably what takes more time. I will try it. I’ve been looking to see if I can get my hair to look like that again 😅. Your hair came out very nice.
manes by mell also recommends that when you try to put your hair in a ponytail put your fingers round the ponytail and what ever circle you have is how much product your hair needs as you applied abit too much i did when i first did this but i always check by doing this she always talks about it its trial and error with this just like anything in life lol x
I just found your TH-cam channel! Yay! I also follow manes by mel , and her Seeester . Lol . I have wavy thick, coarse hair too. I just wanted to say how much i already appreciate your content. Also! You look fantastic. I seriously thought you were at least 5 years younger than I. I'm 42...
Thank you so much for this video ! Your comment about sulphate free shampoo has hit the nail on the head for me ! My hair is a similar thickness and texture to yours and I’ve been really struggling with breakage ! Lately I’ve been using a clarifying shampoo I’ve been ignoring in my cupboard with success and now I realise what’s been going wrong! Thank you
That’s what I did. I have naturally wavy, type 2A/B hair. I’ve been getting perms for the last year and a half, and now I have 2C/3A curls! And I use a very modified version of the Curly Girl Method to care for it, so my hair is looks beautiful, healthy, and natural. And I just love Manes by Mell! So if you want to get a perm, go for it! (Make sure it’s done by a professional, though)
Hi Lisa, not sure you need more feedback but I've been doing this for about three years now and I started with the same problem you mentioned, which is that the curls on top don't match the underneath. I can tell you that mine stemmed from heat damage. If you want to see the curls recover on top you'll need to set aside your heat styling. No curling iron, no straightener, just low on diffusing with blow dryer. This will take time. I actually gave away all my heat stylers so I wouldn't be tempted. It took about a year and a couple hair cuts to get that damaged hair out. In the meantime I cut almost all of the drying ingredients (hairspray) and use a very gentle shampoo for cleansing. The reason sulfate free works with CGM is because the products used are water soluble and wash out without cleansers. But not everyone is strict curly girl method, so don't worry about doing it exactly. I do use a mousse and some gel now and get a nice beachy wave to my hair which I love. It isn't always about tight ringlets, most hair textures benefit from this lighter approach to styling. You have to be patient and the results will come. I think your hair will look amazing and be much easier to handle once you get past this phase. I only wash every 4-5 days now. Wash day takes longer, about an hour from shower to done (including plopping), but refreshing is a few minutes every day and my hair looks better than it ever did. Also...it is shiny! I forgot what healthy hair looked like on me. (PS my profile is before I did all this). Hope that helps!
Love that spray bottle....I have one for our bird, one for water to wet my kids hair or mine. Then many for my favorite facial mists of any hair products that don't come with nice sprayers.
Thank u Lisa for this tutorial...i love ure ure hair ones! I am also trying to embrase my wavy/curly hair as i'm tired for the damage caused by straightening it for yrs. Your hair turned out beautiful and 5 days b4 nxt wash is amazing! Thank you again! 😊 xxx
This reminds me of “back in the day” before I discovered a straightening iron. Every day with curly hair was a mystery as to how my hair would turn out.
I got something called a Brazilian Express, basically the little brother to a Brazilian Blowout, and it's amazing. My hair is still curly with loads of natural body, but NO FRIZZ, and no product other than leave in conditioner. A total game changer for me.
I have almost the exact texture and thickness hair as you. I have tried these methods but would be interested in seeing ur hair after u have been out and about in the heat and how it looks the next day:). It came out beautiful especially being ur first time👍😊💕
you might want to try the d3 brush or d4 by denman when using the curl cream it helps with definition i watch manes by mel her prep style and finish is amazing try it and see how you get on then follow up with your finishing product aka gel or mousse as that was 1 of her old videos with Amanda hope this helps as ive tried it as i have naturally curly and have found it hard to keep it naturally curly as it a new way of doing hair but i miss my curls i also use amla powder for my curls as it helps them spring bk as well as the aphogee two-step protein treatment on there website it says if you are trying to Revie curly hair do not brush or comb scruch the hair it works i got alot of curl defintion by doing this hope this helps im on about doing it again as i miss my curls and i hate straightening my hair i have thick hair and it takes ages to do x try her new diffusing technique its all the hover diffuse less frizz and more definition
Nice to see you! You've been on my mind. I'm praying for your health, your sobriety and your happiness. The curls look lovely on you. As always you look young & fresh. Love you! 🤗🤗
There’s another influencer named Gena Marie who also has great videos on all things curly. I’ve got curly hair as well and I find that following more then one influencer and picking up tips and tricks from each of them has worked for me. Another good one is Chelli’s Curls 😊
You look beautiful as always. It a process to find the right products, and applications methods because everyone's hair is different but you did a great job!^^ Keep trying different methods and mixing them up until you find what works for you.
This is basically how i do my hair sans hair dryer. I can’t fight the summer humidity it’s too exhausting plus I’m loving my curls now I know how to tame them.
@@Beauty101byLisa yes please do i brought all your vitamins suggestions and they worked great! especially for my hot flashes so any hair products you can find i'll buy them ❤🙂
Lisa I don't understand when you first put de conditioner your hair was wet? And after put the conditioner do you leave it on the hair or do you rince it up. It looks fantastic at the end. I love it
Lisa, your hair looks fabulous! That style makes you look so different. Love it! What you said about sulfates makes perfect sense. Back to sulfates for me! I thought sulfates were drying my hair out and causing the frizz My hair is extremely coarse, dry, brittle on the ends & frizzy. I've got natural curl on the ends and it's wavy. Thanks for this video, Lisa. ❤🤗 XO
Thank you! I feel that sulfates and clarifying shampoo is a necessity if you use a lot of styling products. It doesn't matter if you use silicone or natural Shea butter, they are both going to wear your hair down and cause buildup. However if you do not use styling products there is no need for sulfates. Maybe once every few months XO
Yes me too I use sulfate free as well because I have Keritan in my hair no happy medium but I’m looking forward to trying this I’m really trying to be pro-age and not take so long on things . My hair is so curly And yet I flat iron lol🌻🌻🌻
Such a process no wonder why I can never get my curls frizz free , need a diffuser and all rhese extra products haha . Lisa did you feel like you had so much product in your hair ? I don’t know if I could use all that
Yes I totally had a mixture of the wrong products in my hair like I said in the video I didn't like the feeling of the build up the next day. However my hair looked amazing for five days straight without washing it. I got so many compliments on my hair from friends who never say anything about my styled hair normally. XO
@@Beauty101byLisa yeah that’s right you did say you didn’t like the feeling sorry , and I forgot to mention also that your hair did look amazing even with all the products . I really think it works for sure and just to let you know you look amazing any way you do your hair and everything about you is stunning ❤️❤️❤️
Don’t necessarily need a hairdryer but you probably need a curl cream and gel. 2 extra products outside of shampoo and conditioner and to apply it on wet hair. Wetter the better. Scrunch it up and or plop then don’t touch it, don’t even look at it until your hair is completely dry.
OMG! I have the same problem where my hair is curlier on my bottom layers and straighter on my top layers. My hair is also very dry and super frizzy. This tutorial is on point. I only wash my hair about 1 time per week and am not sure how using all of this product on my hair will leave it. I will probably have to wash my hair the very next day to take all of this product off, but doing this will get my hair super dry and frizzier. Not sure what to do.
Hi Lisa...I try to do many ideas you do from Your videos so please tell me your 2 favorite shampoos?? My hair is dry and been breaking a lot lately ❤️❤️love you
Thank you so much! The shampoos that I use fluctuate so much depending on my hair's needs. I use anything from head and shoulders 2 in 1 smooth & silky for clarifying to Fanola Fiber Fix. I will link that here XOXO: amzn.to/340GVoX
Buy a denman brush. There is video on you tube .and when you diffuse you're hair you crunch it ..look at the videos CG hair.. it's looking already good
Silicones are this curly girls best friend. The people saying any one specific product is or isn’t for someone is just plain wrong. Try everything. The worst thing that happens is that you know what your hair doesn’t like, which of course is a good thing. It’s only one hair day. Try everything. My fine, high density hair LOVES Cantu!
Hi I have natural curly hair and I have tried the Olaplex and I hate it. I us a wide tooth comb on wet hair I never use a brush, no need to keep brushing hair. Use a diffuser blow dryer and some other great products. And you used too much mouse. Also you do the roots last use the diffuser from the bottom of your hair and push it up with the dryer Good Luck
Looks lovely Lisa ❤️ perfect for giving your hair a break from heat tools..my hair is like yours , I used to be a hairdresser and the more sappy ( soaked ) your hair is the more it will curl.. not dripping tho 😂... By the way I use the no 6 olaplex and I find using less product is better because it can counteract curls...also when your trying to tong ur hair it drops quicker...apart from that it's a fab product!!....loving your hair colour...I'm planning to lighten mine after going brown again 🙄..then feeling dull 😂 xx
I use a clay mask to blast the buildup off, wash that off, then follow it with apple cider vinegar and water as a rinse along with Castille soap with water and essential oils. The other stuff STRIPS! That's why I add the essential oils for softness.
Lisa, do you only take hair vitamins daily or along with other multivitamin/vitamins? And, do you ever take a break then start taking them again? I switch it up every now and then, sometimes only taking hair vitamins then only a multi, then stop for a few days here and there as well. Just wondering if you do that or have a set in stone regime? 😁
Lisa, I forgot to mention I have 3 a&b curly hair. It is considered fine. If I want tighter curls & more definition, I use a Denman brush. It works great. I also do the reverse of the LOC Method - LCO. So my curls don't weigh down, I use light products. My fav leave in conditioners & cream brands are by Aussie, As I Am, Not Your Mother's & Cantu. Since my hair is on the drier side, I use Palmer's Olive Oil Therapy on my ends only. From midway to scalp, I switch up between coconut oil & the drugstore bottles. Like OGX. I do not use mousse nor gel, because I personally like softer, more natural looking curls. Plus 😆 I don't like that hard "crunch" look. Every curl pattern & hair texture is different, right, so we just have to do trial & error of what products works for our hair. Some of us girls don't mind putting in "more work" on our hair, while others choose more simpler routines. I deep condition at least twice per month. More in the Summer. I wash every other day. Your hair turned out great 😃
you may also want to try the brand curl smith manes by mal loves these they are pricey but the have a bond treatment that helps 3 different types of bonds that get broken by the hair its called bond curl rehab salve its supposed to be as good as oloplex im buying mine this month and its a bigger bottle also you may want to try cowashing I've been doing it and its work great check out any videos on curl smith sorry for my spelling i love your channel keep it up
I've gained wave with menopause. It's weird. I use 3 minute miracle by Ausie. I love it. Then I use the leave on spray conditioner. My hair has gotten very dry since my hysterectomy
My hair used to be stick straight pre-menopause... now it’s wavy. I have course thick hair and it just ends up looking frizzy though 😩 I’ll have to try this method!
Lisa, you can get more curl on the outer layer by applying more product. The not your mothers doesn’t work as well for me as Dove mousse mixed with Herbal Essence totally twisted curl mousse. I do use the not your mothers curling cream first. Then spray all over with the Dove hairspray before drying. Give it a try. Also, I use the Generic version of Sebastian Wet sculpting lotion first. I get it at Sally’s. No buildup. As the days go on I get more volume and curl. It does turn out a little stiff, so I shampoo at night before bed. Sleeping on it makes it better. To refresh in the am, just rub some mousse into your hands until it’s liquified and scrunch. That’s it. The Dove will make your hair feel soft and smell amazing. Check my Instagram for pics of my hair if you like. Good luck ❤️
Love your custom hair color. Your curls look amazing. GORGEOUS! I am 72 yo and have gone through my gray transition. I haven’t seen you in a long while. Would love to know about your eyelashes. I saw the video of you and your daughter putting on eyelashes when she was pregnant. Told you it had been a while!!!Your lashes look amazing. Please let me know what you are doing now. Is it a serum? Great video!!! As always!!!Have a great week!!!
I always enjoy your videos, whether it's hair, makeup or nutrition. I don't even wear much makeup or color my hair, but I thoroughly enjoy watching you do it! But this one had me perplexed. It felt very "goopy", too much product on your gorgeous mane. Not sure why there are so many people with all kinds of techniques for curls. Wouldn't simple traditional methods like narrow rollers or braids be good? Maria

Thank you for your suggestions.. The whole point of styling this way and putting in all of this work is to only have to do it once per week. I got five days of no washing after this style. I could have even gone a full week :-)
@@Beauty101byLisa I have really thick frizzy hair and i only wash my hair once a week, sometimes I wait even longer.
This method isnt mean for every day curly hair girls wash their hair every 5 to 7 days I usually get 4 or 5 before repeating this process
Anybody whose been through the Curly Girl “method” learns this - Lol! I think the best things I learned after all the experimenting, is you’ll NEVER reach your springiest curl pattern if you dye and use a lot of heat of any kind often. Also, the product really does make a difference in the frizz amount between high humidity and low. I have my winter and my summer products ... basically if dew points are high skip the products that contain humectants ... they melt, resulting in frizz!
I agree! Way too much work! lol I am 5'8". My hair touches the floor and then some. It is actually curly, but this much primping, applying, and drying would take me until I was due another wash to complete all the steps! In the end, Lisa's hair looked very pretty, though. :)
You hair sounds like is like mine! I will try this. I think it looks like a lot of work because you were watching a video and trying to show what you both were doing. The drying is probably what takes more time. I will try it. I’ve been looking to see if I can get my hair to look like that again 😅. Your hair came out very nice.
manes by mell also recommends that when you try to put your hair in a ponytail put your fingers round the ponytail and what ever circle you have is how much product your hair needs as you applied abit too much i did when i first did this but i always check by doing this she always talks about it its trial and error with this just like anything in life lol x
When ur hair is dry and has the cast-use a cotton T-shirt to scrunch it out instead of ur hands:)
I just found your TH-cam channel! Yay! I also follow manes by mel , and her Seeester . Lol . I have wavy thick, coarse hair too. I just wanted to say how much i already appreciate your content. Also! You look fantastic. I seriously thought you were at least 5 years younger than I. I'm 42...
Thank you so much for this video ! Your comment about sulphate free shampoo has hit the nail on the head for me ! My hair is a similar thickness and texture to yours and I’ve been really struggling with breakage ! Lately I’ve been using a clarifying shampoo I’ve been ignoring in my cupboard with success and now I realise what’s been going wrong! Thank you
I think your hair looks beautiful and natural like this! Good job! I want curls really bad.. thinking about getting a perm
That’s what I did. I have naturally wavy, type 2A/B hair. I’ve been getting perms for the last year and a half, and now I have 2C/3A curls! And I use a very modified version of the Curly Girl Method to care for it, so my hair is looks beautiful, healthy, and natural. And I just love Manes by Mell! So if you want to get a perm, go for it! (Make sure it’s done by a professional, though)
@@elizabethorsillo7187 solid advice, thank you 😊🙏
Oh, this makes me wish I had curls! They are just beautiful, girls!
Hi Lisa, not sure you need more feedback but I've been doing this for about three years now and I started with the same problem you mentioned, which is that the curls on top don't match the underneath. I can tell you that mine stemmed from heat damage. If you want to see the curls recover on top you'll need to set aside your heat styling. No curling iron, no straightener, just low on diffusing with blow dryer. This will take time. I actually gave away all my heat stylers so I wouldn't be tempted. It took about a year and a couple hair cuts to get that damaged hair out. In the meantime I cut almost all of the drying ingredients (hairspray) and use a very gentle shampoo for cleansing. The reason sulfate free works with CGM is because the products used are water soluble and wash out without cleansers. But not everyone is strict curly girl method, so don't worry about doing it exactly. I do use a mousse and some gel now and get a nice beachy wave to my hair which I love. It isn't always about tight ringlets, most hair textures benefit from this lighter approach to styling. You have to be patient and the results will come. I think your hair will look amazing and be much easier to handle once you get past this phase. I only wash every 4-5 days now. Wash day takes longer, about an hour from shower to done (including plopping), but refreshing is a few minutes every day and my hair looks better than it ever did. Also...it is shiny! I forgot what healthy hair looked like on me. (PS my profile is before I did all this). Hope that helps!
Love that spray bottle....I have one for our bird, one for water to wet my kids hair or mine. Then many for my favorite facial mists of any hair products that don't come with nice sprayers.
Thank u Lisa for this tutorial...i love ure ure hair ones! I am also trying to embrase my wavy/curly hair as i'm tired for the damage caused by straightening it for yrs. Your hair turned out beautiful and 5 days b4 nxt wash is amazing! Thank you again! 😊 xxx
This reminds me of “back in the day” before I discovered a straightening iron. Every day with curly hair was a mystery as to how my hair would turn out.
So true...reminds me of my BIG hair 80’s faze!
Looks gorgeous!!!
I got something called a Brazilian Express, basically the little brother to a Brazilian Blowout, and it's amazing. My hair is still curly with loads of natural body, but NO FRIZZ, and no product other than leave in conditioner. A total game changer for me.
I really like curly hair.👩🏻🦱 But I love ♥️ my salt & pepper straight hair.👩🏻 It’s so easy to care for.
.Great tips Lisa! Thank you so much for making this video! My youngest daughter has very curly beautiful hair and it can be difficult to maintain,
Love it!! Looks great Lisa.
I have almost the exact texture and thickness hair as you. I have tried these methods but would be interested in seeing ur hair after u have been out and about in the heat and how it looks the next day:). It came out beautiful especially being ur first time👍😊💕
Yes..that’s the issue the next day it’s a huge mess especially in humid weather and I can’t imagine having to do this everyday!
you might want to try the d3 brush or d4 by denman when using the curl cream it helps with definition i watch manes by mel her prep style and finish is amazing try it and see how you get on then follow up with your finishing product aka gel or mousse as that was 1 of her old videos with Amanda hope this helps as ive tried it as i have naturally curly and have found it hard to keep it naturally curly as it a new way of doing hair but i miss my curls i also use amla powder for my curls as it helps them spring bk as well as the aphogee two-step protein treatment on there website it says if you are trying to Revie curly hair do not brush or comb scruch the hair it works i got alot of curl defintion by doing this hope this helps im on about doing it again as i miss my curls and i hate straightening my hair i have thick hair and it takes ages to do x try her new diffusing technique its all the hover diffuse less frizz and more definition
Nice to see you! You've been on my mind. I'm praying for your health, your sobriety and your happiness.
The curls look lovely on you. As always you look young & fresh. Love you! 🤗🤗
There’s another influencer named Gena Marie who also has great videos on all things curly. I’ve got curly hair as well and I find that following more then one influencer and picking up tips and tricks from each of them has worked for me. Another good one is Chelli’s Curls 😊
Yes I totally agree!! Thank you for the suggestions I will check them out XO
Swavy Curly Courtney is a pro when it comes to getting body and curl in wavy hair!
@@Beauty101byLisa love Gena too.
Lisa you should try finger coils technique! Mell has a good routine for that. Good luck getting those curls you look amazing always
You look beautiful as always. It a process to find the right products, and applications methods because everyone's hair is different but you did a great job!^^ Keep trying different methods and mixing them up until you find what works for you.
Absolutely gorgeous ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, it came out great 😊
Hi Lisa 😄 Your tan looks beautiful. Do you still have to do your brows since you use the growth serum? 🦋❣️🙏🏽
Looks great! I’ll be trying this tomorrow on mine. Can’t wait! Thank you so much!💛
Thank you! I hope your hair comes out amazing XO
This is basically how i do my hair sans hair dryer. I can’t fight the summer humidity it’s too exhausting plus I’m loving my curls now I know how to tame them.
I will be using this method for my hair. Thanks for sharing.
Lisa: I wish my flat pieces were underneath and my curly pieces on top.
Me:. SAMEEEEE!
BEAUTIFUL CURLS!!!!
Finger curl any straight pieces while its wet
Your hair looks beautiful 😍 have to try this! I Need the right products first thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you! Yes I bought soooo many products it's crazy LOL. I will post more videos trying them out. XO
@@Beauty101byLisa yes please do i brought all your vitamins suggestions and they worked great! especially for my hot flashes so any hair products you can find i'll buy them ❤🙂
Lisa I don't understand when you first put de conditioner your hair was wet? And after put the conditioner do you leave it on the hair or do you rince it up.
It looks fantastic at the end. I love it
Looking great - love the natural waves! 😃
Lisa, your hair looks fabulous! That style makes you look so different. Love it! What you said about sulfates makes perfect sense. Back to sulfates for me! I thought sulfates were drying my hair out and causing the frizz My hair is extremely coarse, dry, brittle on the ends & frizzy. I've got natural curl on the ends and it's wavy.
Thanks for this video, Lisa. ❤🤗 XO
Thank you! I feel that sulfates and clarifying shampoo is a necessity if you use a lot of styling products. It doesn't matter if you use silicone or natural Shea butter, they are both going to wear your hair down and cause buildup. However if you do not use styling products there is no need for sulfates. Maybe once every few months XO
Yes me too I use sulfate free as well because I have Keritan in my hair no happy medium but I’m looking forward to trying this I’m really trying to be pro-age and not take so long on things . My hair is so curly And yet I flat iron lol🌻🌻🌻
@@Beauty101byLisa Got it, thanks so much! XO
I could listen to you talk snd talk for hours!! Thanks Lisa! Have a wonderful weekend! 💜🌹❌⭕️❌⭕️
To much products. Less is better for our curly hair.
💯 percent agree with the Sulphate free Shampoo. Everytime I use it my hair hates it‼️
Beautiful 😻
Hair grew so fast!
Try the braid out for more curly hair. 👍
It looks really pretty!
Such a process no wonder why I can never get my curls frizz free , need a diffuser and all rhese extra products haha . Lisa did you feel like you had so much product in your hair ? I don’t know if I could use all that
Yes I totally had a mixture of the wrong products in my hair like I said in the video I didn't like the feeling of the build up the next day. However my hair looked amazing for five days straight without washing it. I got so many compliments on my hair from friends who never say anything about my styled hair normally. XO
@@Beauty101byLisa yeah that’s right you did say you didn’t like the feeling sorry , and I forgot to mention also that your hair did look amazing even with all the products . I really think it works for sure and just to let you know you look amazing any way you do your hair and everything about you is stunning ❤️❤️❤️
Don’t necessarily need a hairdryer but you probably need a curl cream and gel. 2 extra products outside of shampoo and conditioner and to apply it on wet hair. Wetter the better. Scrunch it up and or plop then don’t touch it, don’t even look at it until your hair is completely dry.
God bless your patience @Beauty101byLisa 👏👏👏
OMG! I have the same problem where my hair is curlier on my bottom layers and straighter on my top layers. My hair is also very dry and super frizzy. This tutorial is on point. I only wash my hair about 1 time per week and am not sure how using all of this product on my hair will leave it. I will probably have to wash my hair the very next day to take all of this product off, but doing this will get my hair super dry and frizzier. Not sure what to do.
You look stunning 🤩 your hair is like a lion’s mane, so vibrant and full of life but beautiful x
Hi Lisa...I try to do many ideas you do from Your videos so please tell me your 2 favorite shampoos?? My hair is dry and been breaking a lot lately ❤️❤️love you
Thank you so much! The shampoos that I use fluctuate so much depending on my hair's needs. I use anything from head and shoulders 2 in 1 smooth & silky for clarifying to Fanola Fiber Fix. I will link that here XOXO: amzn.to/340GVoX
Lisa you always look very good
I use that deep conditioner. Love it. I have soft, curly hair. It's more on the dry side.
Buy a denman brush. There is video on you tube .and when you diffuse you're hair you crunch it ..look at the videos CG hair.. it's looking already good
How long did this take you from start to finish? What do you do when you need to be "spontaneous"?
Silicones are this curly girls best friend. The people saying any one specific product is or isn’t for someone is just plain wrong. Try everything. The worst thing that happens is that you know what your hair doesn’t like, which of course is a good thing. It’s only one hair day. Try everything. My fine, high density hair LOVES Cantu!
@beauty101bylisa try the robe belt method. It truly works!!!
Hi
I have natural curly hair and I have tried the Olaplex and I hate it.
I us a wide tooth comb on wet hair I never use a brush, no need to keep brushing hair.
Use a diffuser blow dryer and some other great products.
And you used too much mouse.
Also you do the roots last use the diffuser from the bottom of your hair and push it up with the dryer
Good Luck
Beautiful makes me wanna wear my hair like that . I too have unruly spiral curls and just like you my best curls are underneath 🌻🌻🌻
Looks lovely Lisa ❤️ perfect for giving your hair a break from heat tools..my hair is like yours , I used to be a hairdresser and the more sappy ( soaked ) your hair is the more it will curl.. not dripping tho 😂... By the way I use the no 6 olaplex and I find using less product is better because it can counteract curls...also when your trying to tong ur hair it drops quicker...apart from that it's a fab product!!....loving your hair colour...I'm planning to lighten mine after going brown again 🙄..then feeling dull 😂 xx
I use a clay mask to blast the buildup off, wash that off, then follow it with apple cider vinegar and water as a rinse along with Castille soap with water and essential oils. The other stuff STRIPS! That's why I add the essential oils for softness.
Looks great Lisa
Looks awesome but too much product and work for me, I am opposite and have straight thin hair.
Thank you Maria. XO
Mane by mel taught me too
Lisa, do you only take hair vitamins daily or along with other multivitamin/vitamins? And, do you ever take a break then start taking them again? I switch it up every now and then, sometimes only taking hair vitamins then only a multi, then stop for a few days here and there as well. Just wondering if you do that or have a set in stone regime? 😁
Yes I take the hair growth vitamins every single day along with my other supplements. XO
I love it!
We have similar hair..you look great ..I'm gonna try it too
Thank you! Please let me know how it works for you. XO
Lisa, I forgot to mention I have 3 a&b curly hair. It is considered fine. If I want tighter curls & more definition, I use a Denman brush. It works great. I also do the reverse of the LOC Method - LCO. So my curls don't weigh down, I use light products. My fav leave in conditioners & cream brands are by Aussie, As I Am, Not Your Mother's & Cantu. Since my hair is on the drier side, I use Palmer's Olive Oil Therapy on my ends only. From midway to scalp, I switch up between coconut oil & the drugstore bottles. Like OGX. I do not use mousse nor gel, because I personally like softer, more natural looking curls. Plus 😆 I don't like that hard "crunch" look. Every curl pattern & hair texture is different, right, so we just have to do trial & error of what products works for our hair. Some of us girls don't mind putting in "more work" on our hair, while others choose more simpler routines. I deep condition at least twice per month. More in the Summer. I wash every other day. Your hair turned out great 😃
You look so pretty with your hair curly.. Love it. 👍
Thank you Lilly. XO
It looks wonderful!
Thank you. XO
you may also want to try the brand curl smith manes by mal loves these they are pricey but the have a bond treatment that helps 3 different types of bonds that get broken by the hair its called bond curl rehab salve its supposed to be as good as oloplex im buying mine this month and its a bigger bottle also you may want to try cowashing I've been doing it and its work great check out any videos on curl smith sorry for my spelling i love your channel keep it up
Loved this video
Looks beautiful!
Thank you Wanda. XO
Loving the hair!!!!
Thank you. XO
I've gained wave with menopause. It's weird. I use 3 minute miracle by Ausie. I love it. Then I use the leave on spray conditioner. My hair has gotten very dry since my hysterectomy
Oh wow! That's a great benefit. XO
My hair used to be stick straight pre-menopause... now it’s wavy. I have course thick hair and it just ends up looking frizzy though 😩 I’ll have to try this method!
Waves hair is the hardest! Mine is different every time.
So beautiful ❤
Lisa, you can get more curl on the outer layer by applying more product. The not your mothers doesn’t work as well for me as Dove mousse mixed with Herbal Essence totally twisted curl mousse. I do use the not your mothers curling cream first. Then spray all over with the Dove hairspray before drying. Give it a try. Also, I use the Generic version of Sebastian Wet sculpting lotion first. I get it at Sally’s. No buildup. As the days go on I get more volume and curl. It does turn out a little stiff, so I shampoo at night before bed. Sleeping on it makes it better. To refresh in the am, just rub some mousse into your hands until it’s liquified and scrunch. That’s it. The Dove will make your hair feel soft and smell amazing. Check my Instagram for pics of my hair if you like. Good luck ❤️
Hi new friend here 😊☺🤗💕😀😄😊

God bless you and your family 👪🙏❤♥💕💙👪
Love your custom hair color. Your curls look amazing. GORGEOUS! I am 72 yo and have gone through my gray transition. I haven’t seen you in a long while. Would love to know about your eyelashes. I saw the video of you and your daughter putting on eyelashes when she was pregnant. Told you it had been a while!!!Your lashes look amazing. Please let me know what you are doing now. Is it a serum? Great video!!! As always!!!Have a great week!!!
Thank you! I will link my eyelash tutorial here XOXO: th-cam.com/video/vLWTxgnFdz4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much!!!!
Yay! I was wondering how you were doing…
You should go ash platinum blonde
Cornrow ur hair in 3 cornrows with product in it. Diffuse or blow dry. Then carefully undo cornrows. Style.
Ur welcome
Well, i loved it just keep trying different products if it's too much for you, but overall Beautiful
I always enjoy your videos, whether it's hair, makeup or nutrition. I don't even wear much makeup or color my hair, but I thoroughly enjoy watching you do it!
But this one had me perplexed. It felt very "goopy", too much product on your gorgeous mane.
Not sure why there are so many people with all kinds of techniques for curls. Wouldn't simple traditional methods like narrow rollers or braids be good?
Maria
Your hair looks really really sott now. Keep using the routine. It will work. Manes by Mell knows what sho's talking about.
I would have thought the opalex would have needed to be washed out.
swavy curly courtney will show you how to care for your waves and curls...in a more simple effective manner. check her channel out!
Feels like way too many products and too much product amount of each 😳
My hair is just like yours.....your brave to try to make it curlier
My hair would never do with all those products...and too much work for me...lol
But your hair looks amazing!
