Hey there guys! So in my original Squish to Condish video I left out the second STC that I do with my leave in in the interest of trying to make the video shorter (due to some comments I received that my videos were too long 😬). Live and learn! This video is in repsonce to all the questions I got about getting the sea weed clumps and when to apply products! So when you STC you know you have added enough conditioner and water when you get "sea weed" like hair. Anyway, I hope this video clears things up! Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

Do you want freedom from frizz? ➡ bit.ly/freedom... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
My 13yr old daughter is transitioning into wavy her wavy hair and its been a learning curve for both of us. We have been watching your videos and they have been extremely helpful so thank you! This has been dubbed "swish to condish" in our house so that when she does it she remembers not to totally squeeze out all the water. Your mouthwash example was perfect and made us giggle! 😂
I love your videos regardless of length. So informative. Could you maybe talk about the causes of and possible cures for wet frizz?! When I STC I almost always get wet frizz so I’ve stopped doing it! I’ve switched to upright, less wet styling without STC first bc I just can’t handle the wet frizz. I feel like maybe you can help.
OoOoO this is a great topic! I will look into it more and get back with you!
I have been having the same issue lately! I starting styling upright now also
I have the same problem too!
Yes! It doesn't matter what I do, I have wet frizz!
Same here but I find if just squeeze my hair in a downward motion. Starting at scalp and squeezing down small sections of hair, this doesn't ruff up the cuticle. In essence smoothing it down. If i do scrunch it's open palms .😊
Thanks for doing a 2.0! Very helpful and cleared up my confusion from the OG video. Personally, I like your longer videos because I often watch them while I’m cooking or folding laundry
*HUGS*
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Hi! Do you think your method, will help on 3a hair? :)
I love love love the turbie twist kind of microfiber towels for plopping! Could never figure out how to tie a dang shirt to my head. The towels are so much easier, it's out of the way if I'm putting on makeup, and it's not too bulky if I decide to lay in bed and watch TV or take a nap after a shower
Courtney your videos are so helpful and informative and yes sometimes that takes time but we're up for that cos we need to know. And besides your explanations are so clear and you're so fun and easy to listen to that every minute is a pleasure. So pls don't feel like you need to cut out detail and forgo parts of a demonstration for the sake of brevity, cos we wanna know it all !! and we LOVE hearing it from you !!
Loved this video. Big thumbs up! Thank you so much! :)
Thank you so so much for the encouragement!! I am learning as I go. And sweet people like you are what keeps me going! You are the best! *HUGS*
Love the length of all of your regular videos. You explain everything throughly and easy to understand. So no worries!! We love you and thank you for your help!!!
Being new to the curly girl method, I enjoyed how thorough your videos were because they answered a lot of the questions I had. So much easier to fast forward than be left wondering how. I can't wait for my hair to look as soft and healthy as yours.
You have the best videos! Seriously. This is my 3rd or 4th video with you and you do an amazing job.
you have the most beautiful hair ever!
Hi Courtney, i am a brazilian and i love your videos! Do more!!! I am leaning english and your videos helps a lot.
Your videos are great!!! Started my journey a month ago and I’ve learned so much from you. Your videos are honestly my favorite because you give a lot of information with technique and details on products. I also appreciate your demonstration with your own hair, its amazing and super helpful. You also have a good personality and just a joy to watch 😃. I found my first holy grail thanks to you, Uncle Funky’s Daughter curl stimulator!!!! Keep up the good work!
So glad you added to this info. You are awesome!!!❤️
You're the only person who ever made me consider very wet styling because your results are so good , andvyoure not pushy about it
Yeaaa, thanks Courtney! 😘 that was great 👍🏼. I think your videos are very informative, I am loving your videos even the long 8 min ones 🤣🤣🤣.
Ppl who complain about are just jealous my momma would always say. You are such a doll, keep doing you girl! Happy hair days
❤️😍💇🏻♀️🙎🏻♀️❤️😍💇🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️❤️😍
I actually enjoy longer videos, and those squishy sounds are really cool. Great video! What would you suggest for a girl with lower porosity hair, who can't keep seem to get her hair to stay "wet"?
I have learned so much from you and I jones on the details. I love following your channel for this reason, and your personality, and your sweet spirit sister 😊 keep doing what you're doing.
I love your long videos! You can’t please everyone I suppose.
Your videos are always helpful, informative, and thorough! Keep doing what you do!
Love all of your graphic t-shirts, Courtney!! 💕
This is funny--upon watching this video the second time, something I missed the first time cracked me up: At 2:32, the Closed Captions say "squished chicken dish." 🤣
Buahaha oh my goodness that is funny 😆
Thank you so much for this second video. The first one did leave me with questions but this one answered them 😊
Thank you SO much for this. I’m on week 4 of my curly hair journey and clumping is my biggest issue. Thank you!!!
Thanks Courtney. We love the longer videos, it's chance for a nice cuppa too. x
Hi Courtney- I’m about 3 months into my CG journey and am wondering if my curl clumps will get more ‘seaweed-y” as my hair gets healthier/grows out? I get good clumpage sometimes but it’s very inconsistent. Thanks & keep these videos coming! You give me hope!
This video was so so helpful I’ve been so confused about squish to condos and adding the products, hoping to start my Curly girl journey next week!
Keep the long videos! Going into depth makes it so much more helpful!
Your videos are wonderfully done and very informative. Ignore the nay sayers. Thanks for another great video 💓
How do I wash upside down without getting horrible snarls when I flip back over? When I first started CG I could but for the last 2-3 mo I can't no matter what products or techniques I've tried.
I'm having the exact same problem, can't get the hair off the back of my head, used to be able to when I was first CG
Same! The way my curls clump means that when I flip my head back upright, my hair is sticking up, or stuck to my scalp. I STC upside down, but then brush my hair again once i'm upright. I don't plop or style upside down anymore because it makes my waves clump in strange patterns that only look nice upside down.
So I show in this video what I do that has really helped me. I make sure to rake the hair off the back of my head when I apply leave in. Then i really turn my head from side to side (really shaking the hair off of the back of my head) when i apply my stylers. I make sure to have enough water in the back section of my hair as I do this because it dries out the fastest when i style upside down. I hope that makes sense! For the longest time I was nervous to break up the clumps and was too timid to really turn my head and shake the clumps off the back of my head. But one day I just went for it and it really really helped!
@Kirsty Birsty snarls means bad tangles in their hair.
I am so happy I found your channel!! I have tried embracing my waves but did it all wrong once before and gave up. I’m committing now thanks to this channel!! Also, added bonus you’re a Texan too ❤️
Hi Courtney !! I don't have a squish to condish question, just wondering how you do in between wash days with tangles and keeping your hair so beautiful, alot of your wonderful subscribers have been so helpful and giving me tips but I'm struggling with not brushing or combing my hair in between washes. I feel like my hair is a rats nest and can't handle it and always end up combing it with a wide tooth comb. I know I'm not supposed to but don't know how to get through those days. I already see more definition and my hair curls slightly more each time. But the struggle is real 🤪 any help on how to get through from wash day to wash day tangle free would be so appreciated
Jasmin Dawn I totally understand the struggle! I had to really work on myself to in brace the tangles a little bit. My hair doesn’t look terrible when it’s Tangly, but I can feel that it’s not tangle free and that’s irritating. You might check out the leave in that I talk about in my refresh video (alikay lemongrass leave in). It is really fantastic for smoothing over tangles on non wash days. So helpful!
Hi Jasmine. I can't live w/ the tangles either. I gently comb my hair too w/ a wide tooth comb. Not brushing your hair is not an option for me. I end up w/ better looking hair when I do. Always do what works for you. There is no curl police who are going to knock on your door. ☺
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney thanks Courtney, I'll look into that leave in and give it a try 👍
@@sunflowerbaby1853 so glad to hear I'm not the only one, I don't like how my hair looks when it's tangly and always give in and comb it. Thanks for replying 😊
If you have to comb your hair, so be it! The curly community tends to be pretty set in their ways, but we all gotta remember, it's just hair. Do what looks and makes you feel best.
Love all your videos. I’m so glad I found your channel.
I love your long videos lol!! Do your thing girl!!!
Could you please do a video on how your hair is cut, and what to ask for? My haircuts are never right for my wavy hair. The layers leave the ends too thin, but without layers the waves/curls don't hold.
It might be what the stylist is actually using to cut your hair. Like they might be using some type of razor or thinning shears on your ends. I could be wrong But next hair cut ask the stylist to not use anything like that and that you do not want to thin out the hair in any way.
Great video, love the play by play! Especially regarding amounts, so thank you so much! I've got one tip for you and all the curly girls: watching your hair with your head down makes a lot of you wrinkle your forehead. Since I've been doing face yoga I now know that's how you create wrinkles for life. So my advice: learn how to look up without wrinkling your forehead and keep your face as healthy and beautiful as your hair 😊☺️🥰
Uso uma bacia e está dando bem certo!
Love your long videos! Don't listen to those haters, just do you!
super helpful. I guess I was doing few of those things instinctively :)
I have to separate my hair to apply the product. Like I do the bottom of the back first, then the top of the back, and then both sides. I’ve never thought about applying the product without sectioning and while doing it upside down.
Thank you so much for these fantastic videos! I started the Curly Girl method about a month ago and there is quite a steep learning curve, and your channel has gotten me so far so quickly! You mention in several of your videos getting the back of your head and I'm definitely finding it a problem spot for me as well. Do you have any suggestions through the whole wash and style process of how to keep the back of your head hair looking great? I keep thinking woah, my hair looks great! and then I turn around... thanks for any thoughts!
Ignore the whiners!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Those whiners won't buy from your store or links anyways!! You got a TRIBE gurl and they don't care how long your videos are for! Keep up the awesome work and I hope we can colab one day.
....I just wanna say: Courtney for President!!! :-) A great thank you from Italy: now I've understood!!
Thank you for making a great video, it was very helpful.
Your hair is almost exactly the same cut, length, color, everything. I must be not forming those curl clumps properly or I stop diffusing while it's still wet, because I'm aiming for curls like yours, which my hair is absolutely capable of, but it turns into a stringy mess. It's less of a mess, the more I practice and everytime I watch another video and learn as much as I can.. ive tried $150 in just mini sized products, which is like 9 different products, and my hair is very porous from bleaching, and is much wavier after having my son. . So how do I keep those curl clumps bigger and avoid them separating? I use the bowl method, applying the conditioner and curl definer and other products with the drippings from the water, but the moment I start microplopping, it all falls apart. I have used tee shirts, and a Deva curl microfiber towel and scrunch to my roots, but, if the curls start to separate should I just add more water? Is it possible I over conditioned? I am new at doing thos myself but a stylist gave me amazing ringlets. So I know it's possible. Sorry for the long question. Just tired of these stringy frizzy waves.
Thanks so much! U helped me to understand better!
Love your shirt! Great video!
Hi Courtney! Thanks for all the amazing info. You have been the single most important part of my CGM journey (you're like my curly godmother). Question: I have trouble getting the seaweed consistency. If my hair is feeling dry even with lots of conditioner and shampoo, any idea what might be causing the trouble? If you have any advice, that'd be lovely!
P.S. I hope you never try to make your videos any shorter! I have been known to spend a few hours on end watching all of them back to back....😁
So this issue that you’re having could be caused by many different things. If you’re interested I do have curl coaching sessions that I offer on my website. It’s where we would sit down in a video chat and discuss possible solutions to your struggles.
Thank you for this!! Wish I watched it before doing my hair this morning lol my only question is does plopping after applying product absorb it out of your hair?
How do you do all of this while standing in the shower? This may be a totally stupid question but I’m a rookie looking to get more definition to my hair.
I actually like longer videos ❤️❤️❤️
I don't understand why so many people squish and then wash their hair with water again, doesn't that ruin the purpose of scrunching?
Btw I'm not trying to be mean, I genuinely don't understand.
@@mumijevi Haha totally understand. I explain this in the first squish to condish video. The point of squishing in the rinse out conditioner is not to encourage curls (not at the stage anyway). It is to really mix the water and conditioner in your hair. It kind of creates a swishing effect where the water carries the conditioner to every single strand of your hair. Like swishing mouthwash around in your mouth! LOL that how i think of it anyway. And having enough of both water and conditioner in your hair will ensure really good hydration. Hope that makes since!
How long should the microfiber towel to be kept on hair?
How do you keep curls from forming with hair from all across your head? Even with my denman brush when I take my hair out of the plop, it seems curls have pieces from the left and right sides clumped together and I have to rake my fingers through to separate them at the ends, which makes a bit of a frizzy mess.
I Love your long videos. 😊 Did you get your shirt from the same place you got your Redeemer (?) shirt
Connie Hinkle yes mam! This shirt is from the same place. Thank you!!!
Thank you for all of the time you spend making these awesome videos 😊❤️
Swavy Curly Courtney ooooh where's it from?? Too cute!
So good! Thank you!
I love your long vids
I do have one question, do we have to do all these steps upside down?
So can you live some of the conditioner in your hair (I have wavy hair)? Like how do you know the pH of your products and do you find leaving the conditioner in your hair too producty?
how do you prevent the conditioner from getting into your roots when you scrunch?
Doesn't your neck get sore? I've hurt mine a couple of time doing the whole routine upset down.
Such great content! Your videos have helped me a ton, but I'm noticing that it is a breeze for you to STC and you get almost no fallout! Do you have any tips for girls starting out with pretty damaged hair? It is a nightmare to rake products through my hair or STC and I find that by doing so, I've flattened out the clumps that were starting. I definitely feel like the quality of your hair makes a huge difference in the intensity of curls you get. Am I not using enough products if they are not detangling easily? I'm afraid to overuse leave in or creams because of weight. I've definitely attained more curl than ever before but its either frizzy from over styling or limp from letting it air dry with minimal styling. Ugh. 🤷🏼
kajun Curtis This is a very tricky question to answer, everyone hair is so different. I find that using a wet for us to distribute the leave in and conditioner in my hair helps minimize the fall out during squish to condish. If you hair is excessively tangly then I would add more water, then conditioner, then water. Keep adding more and more water/conditioner/water to you hair until the tangles just fall right out.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Thank you! I'll try that. I'm researching how to handle tangled hair when using CG method. I might be over moisturized too. It's so hard to know! I'm still learning what my hair is telling me lol. Science.... 😂
Do you diffuse your hair?
Hi Courtney! What do you mean by an "honest" product? Please don't cut your videos down. I look forward to all the info you give. :)
haha, by honest I meant that it never lets me down. It always preforms consistently! *HUGS*
What's thr point of aiming for this seaweed clumps if you're rinsing out the hair?
If you have an oily scalp how can you get the conditioner on your roots without it causing them to be greasy? I tried this and needed to use a dry shampoo later the same day. I want to keep experimenting but I don’t want to have to keep loading up on dry shampoo on freshly washed hair just so I can leave my house.
What do you do after you are done and your hair is still wet ? Are you defusing ? Plopping with a t shirt ?
I've just discovered my natural waves and I'm having so much fun with them! Thank you for the videos you create - they've been so incredibly helpful to me. Curious about your thoughts on whether I could use a Denman brush (which I already have) in place of the wet brush you use here, or should I just grab one?
Maybe? I actually have both the denman and a wet brush. The wet brush is more gentle i think for detangling. You could use the denman if you are more careful than I am! LOL I tend to get and a rush and rip through my hair if I'm not careful!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Okay - thanks! My hair is fairly short and thin so I don't struggle with tangling very much. I'm going to try it!
Best
PS I'm not Darren, I'm his wife Melissa ;)
I was always told that you should apply conditioner to towel dried hair? I thought the water stopped the conditioner being absorbed fully 🙈
I understand! That is what I was told too! Adding the water is a GAME CHANGER! haha
Thanks for this great video! I noticed recently that if I use products with protein, my hair doesn’t clump - like my curls are super skinny and I don’t like it! Is this a thing?
I don't know whether or not protein has anything to do with it, but I watched a video where Lorraine Massey said fine has will do that if you try to style on soaking wet hair. My hair is pretty fine and low density, so I have to make sure I squeeze enough water out. Otherwise the gel tends to coat every. single. strand. And then dry that way so my curls look stringy. :/
Why do you need a rinse out conditioner and a leave in? Thank you for the video you're my fav curly youtuber!
Hi! She didn't rinse out the leave in... About the conditioner, at some point she said that conditioners can have low pH, and because of that it is not recommended to leave it in... ;)
How often do you change up your hair products? Or does a simple clarifying shampoo help you continue to use the products you love?
Hmmm...I think this question may be answered by my "How to Build a Washday" video. I do tend to rotate my products often. Mainly because I'm constantly experimenting! LOL!
Love this
Ah! You seriously are one of my favorite curly girls on TH-cam. Keep up all the awesome content!
can I do squish to condish without shampooing??
What products do you use regularly?
Like 1 shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, and gel/cream.
This is a great idea for a video!! Like an essentials kit! Let me think about it and I'll get back to you!!!
I have a lot of hair, and it's long and I have a lot of trouble with tangle/knots. Its takes forever to get them out in shower, they are almost too much for the wet brush...can feel like i'm going to pull my hair too much. Will there come a day when it will be easier ?
One warning on the microfiber towels- if you have dry hair, they can be too drying to plop with. Even before starting the CGM I had to stop using them because they sucked all the mousiture out of my hair so quickly. I did find one later that was marketed as being made with bamboo that was much better though, so it might be a quality question?
Kylie Perry I think you hit the nail on the head with the quality issue. I have used several different microfiber towels in the past and have experienced the same thing you’d have, with the towel being too drying. There is something very special about this particular towel, it doesn’t pull too much water out of my hair. It also creates much less frizz than regular microfiber towels for me. 🤷🏼♀️🤗
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Besides the difference in quality issue, keep in mind that using laundry softener (liquid or sheets) will eventually ruin any microfiber item you have. Softener is designed to plump and coat fibers, so with continued use, your towels will stop absorbing the moisture they once did. Once this has happened, the fibers will have a tendency to grab and hook onto your hair and create static, frizz, and tangles.
@@irairod5160 you are correct. That is on the wash instructions I think. So I have never used fabric softener or dryer sheet when I wash my microfiber towels.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Agreed, it's usually on the instructions...yet many people (including me) sometimes forget and add the softener to any load that includes towels...and then wonder why they're not as absorbent anymore!
D9 you have products you use and in what order listed somewhere?
So...what if your hair won't hold water for more than 10 seconds?... I always feel like my hair gets way to dry to quickly when I try to squish. Idk if I'm squeezing to hard or not, its hard to tell...
You're so cute..very informative and have lovely hair.
Awesome! Thanks for doing this video!
How long do I leave my hair in tshirt after plopping?
So how long do you plop? And do you defuse until dry or just till your cast is set?
Usually I plop for 20 min and this is how I diffuse: th-cam.com/video/Qe-SAYVlJ2E/w-d-xo.html
How do you part your hair after?
When I am brush styling, it creates little parts! It might be better seen in this video (this is a more updated and slow down version of my routine): th-cam.com/video/VGT0URQd1Rc/w-d-xo.html
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've been doing these methods and I have alot of frizz still and omg my hair is Soo Tangled
Your amazon link doesn't seem to be working.
Inês Brito oh my goodness thank you so much for letting me know! I just fixed it. I think. Could you check it and let me know if it is working now? Thank you!!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney It works fine now! Thanks for the inspiration. Continue the great work you're doing within the community. Greetings from Holland (Amsterdam).
What's the point of squishing the shampoo out, when you brush your hair straight right after?
Ummm...my hair is rinsed straight when I rinse out the shampoo. I am not seeing where the shampoo is squished in. I'm so sorry I'm no understanding your question. Now if you are asking why I squish in the rinse out conditioner, I answered that question in my original STC video. When you take a couple of min to squish in the conditioner, you are really allowing your hair time to absorb the conditioner while also emulsifying it with the water in you hair. The squishing kind of swishes the water/conditioner around in your hair and insures that every hair strand is getting properly hydrated. Hope this makes sense!
Ah sorry yes. I see now I was talking about the conditioner. Okay, that makes sense. I just saw you using the brush after you squished it in, and was like: "why are you ruining your own work". But it makes much more sense now, thanks 😄
🤔 my hair is so much more knotty...
I experienced more knots when my hair was overmoisturized. Now using less moisturizing products and way less knotting, easier detangling and my strands feel smooth again when running my fingertips from the ends towards the root. Maybe you have a similar problem.
My hair used to be much more Tangly as well. But over time it is gotten much less Tangly.
The code didn't work...the discount code for Simply Curls... :(
pxruf Oh no! I will let April know right now!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney thank you!!!
Ok I think it is working now! Can you check it for me? Thank you!!!
Courtney I love watching your videos because you have such a fun personality and honestly you have the shiniest hair I’ve ever seen and I love it. I’ve seen you wearing T-shirts with faith based messages on them, I’ve noticed you never curse or use God’s name in vain. So I’m assuming you are a Christian. TH-cam desperately needs more Christian women using this platform to share the gospel and I’d love to hear about your faith. You have some of the best CGM videos on TH-cam and I’m not saying to do something different! I’m just suggesting that seeing a video of your testimony, or even mentioning your faith more in your curly hair videos would be amazing and inspiring for other women!
What is the point of first squish to condish? Is going to be all rinsed out and brushed...
Your just so stinkin’ cute!!
I dont get that squishy sound whenever i do my s2c 😞 i dont know if i put too much conditioner or too much water because i also do the bowl method. Can someone help with this? My hair is frizzy and dry even after two months of cgm :(
amnos99 are you deep conditioning weekly?? That'd be my suggestion until it improves...maybe some oils too on the lengths of your hair at night or before washday?? Hope that helps
Shauna Ferguson i deep condition every week and i never missed a week ever since i started cgm. :( yeah, maybe i should try putting oil. I never tried that actually. Thank you for the suggestion. ☺️
amnos99 sure thing!
I would think if there is no squishy sound then I would think you would need to add more water, then conditioner, then water to your hair. Keep doing this over and over and over until you have good squishy sounds. It’s the combo of water+conditioner that gives me good squelchy sounds.
does anyone else get a weird part on the back of ur head when you wash and style upside down?
Dani Rayn I haven’t noticed anything like what you are describing.
Yes, I do, if I don't do that trick Courtney mentioned about lifting that hair off the back of the head. That really seems to help!
Love, love you & your videos, but they are very long & sometimes I fast-forward through parts. Oops, but I have to manage my free time. Again love you.
