      @aprilrawls5162 my whole life my hair was straight and never frizzy then last summer outside I noticed frizz then started noticing no matter what shampoo conditioner hair oil leave in conditioner and even expensive hair dryers it was still frizzy and beyond frustrating. My hormones are changing due to perimenopause and I'm realizing it's getting really wavy when I let it dry. Hair changes as we get older. It just happens and you have to relearn a completely new way of styling your hair.

Now, it’s stopped falling out but sadly, I’ve lost 40% of my hair. It’s thin and frizzy. It’s driving me crazy. I used to get so many compliments on my hair.

  • @Saturns48
    @Saturns48 2 роки тому +110

    Putting in your products upside down also adds a lot of volume and definition bc your curls and waves can take their natural shape from roots to ends. I also do not recommend "scrunching out the crunch" trying crushing out the crunch
    When you "scrunch" you are taking a curl or wave and pushing it upward, but it has a gel coating, the smaller pieces that are glued down will pop out of place and create frizz. Instead, flip your hair to one side and with both hands crush your hair in between your hands, like you are grabbing your hair for a ponytail. Work your hands down your hair crushing it together. Flip your hair to the other side and do the same. You can even take your thumb and index finger creating an imaginary hair tie around your collected hair gentle pulsing your fingers down the bunch of hair crushing out the cast. This helps keep those small pieces from being pushed up and separating from the formed curl or wave. Best wishes👍

      If you have time to wash your hair, then you have time to make it curly. It only takes the right products to moisturize and lock out humidity, then plop your hair in a t-shirt or cotton cloth. I use muslin that I cut a square off (36” x 36”) and plop my hair overnight. By morning it is nearly dry. I can air dry it without frizz or use the hairdryer for 5-10 minutes.

      I always found my curly hair was a blessing and took far less time to maintain as a busy mom. If you don’t need to wash your hair every day, you could extend your curls from one day to the next using dry shampoo. Curly hair is naturally much drier so washing hair and drying daily can be tough on our hair. Just a thought. Oh and use satin pillowcases to keep the curls looking good overnight.

You get the wetness out, (product already applied), clip around your part, connect bonnet to your hair dryer and then gently put the bonnet on with my head upside down. And trust the curl gods it is getting cute and curly. The best part is I can’t mess with my hair with my hands while it dries. Thanks for sharing all this.

    An alternative to using a curling iron on the looser sections is to finger coil then scrunch them before drying.

It took a few months of doing this every wash and wet refresh day before they sprung back on their own!

    I have your exact hair type. Fine but curly if treated properly. As you described, for years I didn't realize just how curly my hair was until a hair dresser pointed it out and started me down the path of finding techniques for bringing out the curl. It was such a fun discovery! But, as you mentioned, curly hair can get dry, which makes it prone to breakage and because my hair is fine, it is more delicate. I am only now realizing that the reason I might be having trouble getting my hair to grow out longer is because it is breaking! ONLY NOW looking into doing hair masks and trying to find the right products. I haven't had long hair in a while. I was cutting it short for years (quite short) but decided to change it up and found it didn't seem to grow to length very quickly. Now there is hope. Thanks!!!

    I just found this video as it was a recommendation and just popped up. My hair is super frizzy and fine but i have a lot of it. When my hair is wet and unbrushed, its very wavy. But if i brush a few times until dry or when dry, its straight (except the ends that wave no matter what and the damaged hair that kinks n curls cuz its shorter with less weight). Ive noticed so much more frizz this summer and nothing seems to tame it. I dont use hot tools very often either. I used to scrunch my hair a lot as a teen but its always been so long that the curls fall to waves unless its crunchy from a lot of product. This made me want to try some moisturizing curly girl products just to see if they help at all.

    As I get older/ aging, I have noticed my hair getting wavy. Everything you mentioned in the video, letting my hair air dry, it turns semi frizzy. I live in the south with humid weather and was looking for a specific line that would help. Ty for a well put together video on how to work with developing wavy hair. I think allowing my grey to grow out, the texture changes.

    I have tried heaps of these CGMs and always end up with heavy, crunchy or greasy hair that feels like it needs to be washed all over again. I find letting it dry naturally, then setting it with heated rollers (way gentler on hair than straighteners or curling irons) with just a touch of curl cream gives me the best results.

    Thank you for this video. I always thought I had straight hair that tangles really easyband always got frizzy. My mom has straight hair, so I just always washed and blow dried my hair with a round brush every day. When I saw your video about if your hair looks like this air dried... I thought that is exactly what my hair looks like. So I tried the scrunched method and I have wavy hair. It is 2a-b but it is definitely wavy. Come to find out my dad had long hair in the 1970s and he said his hair was wavy. I didn't know that because he has always had short hair my whole life. So I'm 37 and I just found out my hair is wavy. I was shocked but also thrilled because I have always wanted curly hair and although mine isn't curly, I can't wait to see what my hair will look like now that I know I have wavy hair. Who knows it might get curlier?
    Anyway, thanks so much for all your tips and tricks.

    Looks great! I was in the hospital for 11 days and started losing hair. I ended up cutting it short. It is so curly and no matter what I do I can’t get the curls to go the way I want. Because of the hair loss, I am afraid to use the drier or products.

    This is the video I’ve been looking for! I’ve been on my curly/ wavy hair journey for two years now. At that time I decided to grow out my pixie cut. I noticed curls at my ears and lo and behold, as it got longer and there were curls! I am 63 years old! I’ve always had very straight hair but I can look back to my forties and see how the curl pattern was beginning. After I started growing it out I stopped coloring it. I’m really enjoying my wavy/curly hair but it has also been frustrating not finding what works for me. My hair looks good but I know it can look much better. Day two refresh is a real challenge. Your video was spot on! And your hair is sooo much like mine! So…I will try this out and thank you!

    My fine 2C hair looks and feels so much better after I stopped using conditioner. I know, sounds weird. I just wash it, scrunch it and that is it! I use an alll natural balm on my damp hair before it dries and then after it dries for moisture and shine. If you want to save time, brush and scrunch upside down and you are done! The herringbone pattern is a great idea.

    If my hair looked like yours after a wash I think I would cry of happiness. My hair is fine, wavy, long, dry, and not layered. Unfortunately any leave in conditioners or thick gel weighs my hair down and the waves lose volume. I'm torn between just accepting my frizzy wavy mess, or just styling it straight, which is much easier and makes me feel pretty. I appreciate all the tips though, and will be trying them out!

    I have really tick and course hair that naturally has kinda curly wavy patern. Hair around my face is more curly, but the rest of it is kinda wavy because it's long and probably has heat damage. Recently I started wearing it as is and I love it. I usually wash it upside down, brush it with wide tooth comb before wrapping it in microfiber towel, after 20-30 minutes I put leave in, than aloe vera gel (I find it helps with mosture and shine) and then I put gel and scrunch. First upside down and when I flip my head up, fix strands around my face ande leave it like that. I can refresh it up to 7 days (I spray it lightly with water and scrunch it a few times) and it looks great until the next wash. At night I just put it in a pineapple with a scrunchie. I found that this routine takes the least amount of time and works great for me.

    They hair at my crown is about 6” in length and with my wave/curl pattern it just curls upwards and stands straight(with wave lol) up in the air above my head. I straighten it so that it will lay flat, but it curls right back up in mere minutes and again goes upwards. I feel so done with having wavy/curly hair!

I started drying my hair, styling it and this week I was so sad to see my hair was breaking off. I got it layered. Now I don’t like my hair again.

    Good job! I will try the hair part because i have the same problem with flat roots. I love Mell too but she has a curly hair And hoover diffuse works perfect. I hoover only at the beginning. If my hair starts to dry it scranch with the diffuse otherwise i loose curls.(try to find a video with Mell And Amanda for styling. Amanda does the same). And when my hair is dry about 50% i use smasters tecnique. I wet my hands And i put a little of creme or gel And apply with praying hands And then continue diffusing. Magic! Product on damp hair makes more curls.

    Kind of mind-blown, I always thought I had straight hair then I was complaining about how fluffy and frizzy my hair gets after I wash it to a friend and she told me it was because I don't have straight hair. After watching many CG videos I tried it for the first time tonight and sure enough, I have curls. I tried the bowl method that's trending right now and I have to say I am shocked at how curly my hair actually is. I liked your method, I'm going to try that out next to see what result I get, thanks for sharing.

    Finally someone on UA-cam with hair like mine! I have extremely thin fine hair, especially now that I am over 50. And I agree with you about hot tools and color. I just don't want to give them up! But I do limit the hot tools more now.
    I have 100& grey hair up front and salt and pepper in the back and I do not bleach my hair but color my hair purple (Artic Fox). I also use a beach wave crimper on my crown when my curls do not look good. About 10 years ago my perfectly straight hair decided to start going curly. I still cannot figure out why or what happened. I was straightening my hair daily to but noticed when it was humid I would frizz. Never had that happened in my life.
    After watching a curly hair video, I stopped straightening my hair about 5 years now, and my limp sort of wavy hair has most definitely gotten curlier and wavier over time. As well as I do have shorter layers at my crown to help keep the hair lighter so it will curl up better.
    I usually use the defuser in the more traditional way and end up with a little frizz. But I like your idea so much better! I will have to try your method on my next wash day! One thing you did not mention is how long does your drying method take?

    Thanks for sharing. I'm about to try the curly girl method. I have super fine hair, and as soon as I sleep on my hair, it flattens. I don't think any kind of head scarf or silk pillow case will save the curl. I just don't have that much hair to save. Do you wear one or do you refresh everyday? I'm also deathly afraid of brushing product into my hair b/c once I brush, the curl is ruined, i.e. hair separate and curls become stragglers vs ringlets, but I'll try the method and see how it all goes. I am most overwhelmed by the kind of products and the order. thanks for now

    This is exactly how I realized my own hair reality! I thought I was just struggling with dryness and age related hair changes… But it turns out I actually have wavy/curly hair! My first clue was the whole wash day concept… My second clue was people would tell me my hair looked really good when I did absolutely nothing to it… Lol then I did some Ayurvedic hair mask treatments and, oh my God! I had some serious curl clamps and volume and shine like I curled my hair or something! Lol I’ve started treating my hair like it needs to be, and yes I struggled with hair loss and the wrong shampoos and conditioners, combined with going gray and trying to transition from using permanent hair dye to semi permanent glasses so I can gray blend… It’s all been such a crazy journey but treating your hair the way it needs to for its type is really important!

    I would like to see a video on using a curly or wavy method to maintain a healthy scalp that is not full of rusty crib cap or dandruff and that also protects the lengths. I am very concerned about maintaining the length of my hair since recently switching to modern and harsh soaps and shampoos that not only makes me feel sick but also causes and exacerbates a lot of severe damage and breakage on beautiful hair I’ve worked hard to grow and maintain my whole life and so that it years of growth. I don’t want to cut my hair and I just started to use modern things that are more expensive than what I was doing for my hair before. I was unknowingly straightening my hair before, the India method, by using the coconut and olive oil based and home made hair masks with an inexpensive food based herbal infused method of deep conditioning. It’s a lot less expensive and effective to put good food on my head for a hair mask and make it less time consuming, much easier to grow and much more manageable and far less expensive, lol. But now I’m required to be more expensive and inefficient and so I don’t know what to do, lol! I love the extra wavy curls that modern shampoo manages but I’m not managing the extremely friz zines and especially that fact that it’s easy to tangle and breaks. I need long hair protection, and my hair type is way more frizzy that yours is. Thank you for taking to time to read through this. I need length protection that is very hypoallergenic for fine hair.

Then I stumbled across this video this evening. I think I might actually be able to make it look halfway decent on my own tomorrow! So thank you! I don't see a link to the brush you recommend in the video - can you tell me which one it is? And which curling wand you recommend, as well? Thanks so much for this tutorial!
