I'm the owner of a very soft, rather fine hair. I noticed that they deform and straighten quite easily and quickly. I do struggle to find a styling product that would not weight down my hair but give it a better hold. Most of the time I just embrace it. I know that curls can't look perfect all the time and there is no exceptions. Although I am aware of it, I was still a bit surprised, that your rather thick hair sometimes straighten as much as mine. I noticed that a lot of people assume that curly hair suppose to be curly 24 hours a day. This is just not possible, unless you have a kinky/coily hair maybe. Great video, thank you!
preach 👏 always feel bad (and sort of guilty??) when i see youtubers do 'morning curl refreshs' on curls that look just as tight and defined as wash day! all hair types and textures are beautiful ❤ also please let us know if you ever find that holy grail styling product for fine hair!
I would also be curious to know if anyone comes across a good gel for fine hair! I like your observation which was bang on, I have wavy hair, and it bugs me how it can go straight pretty quick… I’ve never realized curly hair can end up rather straight!
I have found using a silk bonnet and or silk pillow case works wonders for refreshing. I used to have to soak my hair and let it dry to get my curls to wake up. I have fine 3B hair, if I’m not using my bonnet or silk pillow case I look like I’ve straightened my hair. I honestly thought that it would be a waste of money but I’m glad that I took the plunge.
Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Stronger Hold has been the best for my fine 2a hair. (I have no idea if it's CGM approved.) Also helps if it's humid outside. Hask Argan Oil 5-in-1 Leave-in Spray to refresh before going out in the evening or for day 2. I also can't rake my fingers through my hair on curly days or it will just straighten out. Gel and scrunch only on curly days. Or brush through for a smooth day. It can be the best of both worlds! Edited to say: I can't use any cream type styling products. They just weigh down my fine low-porosity hair. Curly Susie has high-porosity hair, so cream products can be moisturizing for her.
The thing is that you should just accept the fact that the natural state of your hair is a relaxed wave... I am 3a/3b and I used to do wash n' gos. My hair lasted 7 days with no refresh. I find refreshing to be very annoying for me 😅. If I had wavy hair, I would be too lazy to do all that work every day 😂
Susie - Your hair looks great no matter what you do to it! Even when you think it doesn't , I look at your hair and wish that I had your hair! It's gorgeous!
I am new to the CGM, and this is exactly what I needed to remind myself that its a process, everyday is different and it dosent mean what you are doing is wrong when your results vary day to day. I also love as a fellow Nova Scotian I know I can get the products you use in your videos, considering we have about half the selection available everywhere else! #NovaScotiaStrong
I love this video. I love how real and transparent you are with us, Susie! You are one of my favorites to watch because you always seem so authentic and I never feel like you are trying to sell me anything. I enjoy watching other UA-cam "influencers" too, but the experience is different. Thanks for being honest with your viewers and sharing your week with us! Loved the lil moments with your cat and son too. 😊💜
I love how your hair looks with a claw clip in it. Like wake up, fluff, clip and go! That half up half down look reminds me of Kate Hepburn and I LOVE it.
I just want to thank you for making such real, honest content that I can trust with or without sponsors. As a fellow Canadian with a tight budget, you were my go to source and comfort when I first started with CGM. And I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you actually following through every video with including the products you use in your descriptions! So much Iove to you and your family from rural Ontario.
This was just what I needed - I’ve seen videos with fancy, multi-product styles and have thought there is no way I could do that each day. You help put all the pieces together. I also don’t wear make up and appreciate seeing others who don’t wear much but still look so beautiful.
Thank you, thank you! I really needed this. I'm still trying to find out what hair type I am and what products my hair likes. It really helps to see how others evaluate their hair on a daily basis and how they decide what they are going to do to restyle. Very helpful!
Thank you for doing a video like this!!!! It's so nice to see how your hair really is for you on a daily basis & how you handle it. I have the hardest time refreshing without frizz everywhere & my hair ends up with the straightish waves too!
Thank you for your honesty. I have hair similar to yours and through out the years the texture has changed a little. I’ve always embraced my curly hair and I noticed that when I was younger my curls where soft more defined and shiny. Now that I’m 53 because of the grays (I think) I have so much more frizz some of my hair curls in ringlets and some strands are wavy not curling anymore. I’ve always knew how to style and take care of my curls so my hair has been healthy for most of my life, but now it’s a different story. But it’s refreshing to see that curly hair is not always perfect (as most UA-camrs portray.) So when I saw this video I was encouraged to know that my curls are not always going to be perfect and that’s ok there’s nothing wrong with what I’m doing to my hair. It’s the blessings of having curly “fun hair” as my daughter in love says about my hair. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Susie I think it's really useful to see that not every day is a great hair day. It's like TV - a lot of stars don't look like that without a team of hairstylists and makeup artists. it's not good for anyone to have unrealistic expectations, especially when curly or wavy hair is involved. it's so dependent on the products used and our natural curl or wave pattern. The only day my hair is down just now (I have long/thick/curly/dry hair) is washday. Otherwise it's in a messy bun or a bonnet when at home and a ponytail or clip when grocery shopping. I'm masking more and minimal heat due to not refreshing as much, so I'm hoping my hair looks healthy when quarantine ends. I think it's really important to have clips, clasps, hairbands etc etc so we can put our hair up on a bad hair day when we don't have time to wash. As with everyone else mine looks it's best on washday. I shampoo and mask once every seven or eight days and normally co wash once in between. I have dry hair and a very dry scalp due to eczema, all my skin is really dry and scalp is skin. I don't get greasy as I basically don't produce any oil, but I need to hydrate my scalp and hair at least once a week. I think there are a lot of us just now who are tying our hair up and not getting too worked up about our hair - we're not out for anyone to see it. Be well and best wishes.
Thank you!! I have seen so many you tubers pull their hair out of a pineapple and it just looks amazing. I was feeling defeated. I very much appreciate you sharing the struggle! Some of these tips have helped me refresh on the fly. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I feel like I fail at the CGM but this shows me my hair doesn't always need to be "perfect." Your honestly is worth $1,000,000.
Hey, great video! Its nice to see someone with gorgeous curls being transparent about refreshing and the amount of work needed. I have to refresh my hair everyday and up until seeing this video, I thought I must be doing something wrong! So thanks, hope you're staying safe and taking care ❤
Love!!! The wavy-curly-straight style is almost my favourite day now, with a baby... Means it's time for an oddly pretty ponytail without "wasting" a wash day. 😅 Wash day = I'm gettin my (already falling out) hair yanked by a baby.
I really appreciate all your content seriously! I went curly during the quarantine, I really love the honestly and I can finally see what a full week realistically looks like. It's so refreshing. Thank you!
Thank you for doing this video, and showing your hair in its different states of curliness. I take a lot of comfort in that, because that's my hair. Every day is different, and maybe two, MAYBE three days a week I feel that I actually have a "good hair day". But I embrace my curliness and just pull it back or wear it up on those not so great days. I'd never go back to straightening it or using rollers to smooth it out. Thanks for keeping it real, Susie!
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing a real week. I have been staying away from mousse just because it is so crunchy ,but that was when I was using it before diffusing so I think I might try it for a refresh day. I understand the temptation to be self deprecating, your hair is glorious and I strive to be as diligent as I can so I can achieve something close to that success.
Your videos are wonderful and I appreciate all your work! It been so helpful. I like my waves but after two years of no heat, and using the curly girl method as much as possible, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is way more expensive than straightening and so much more time consuming. It’s so much work ALL THE TIME, otherwise it a ratted mess. I have never spent so much on products and so much stress before, over my hair. I don’t find it worth the time and effort. Next hair appointment, I’m going back to what I was doing before which was straightening it once a week and switching it every other week or so, to waves. I feel like keeping my natural waves has consumed me, and I’m tired of thinking about hair and spending so much money on it😜. But I’m grateful for the knowledge I’ve gained from you and other UA-cam channels.♥️
Today is 11 weeks for me using CGM. Your videos have encouraged me - I’ve watched several. So nice to see your refresh methods- more than one! Thanks for all the information and help. Oh- loved the “Elaine” reference, too!
Thank you Susie!! I just started the curly girl method last week. It's nice to see reality, I have three kids and I'm getting annoyed thinking I can't tie my hair back! This video was very helpful and motivational for me, thanks soooo much! ❤️❤️❤️
Well, this is one of the best/realistic wavy-curly hair videos I have seen. Thanks for the honesty. Have hair like yours and am finally accepting it will change and 'do its own thing' day by day or after well, you know, an hour! 😆
Your curls are so shiny! They look great. Your bad hair day is still 10 times better than when I wake up from sleeping all night 😂. I feel like I always have frizz. I appreciate you showing us your real life hair routine for week.
This was SUPER helpful! I started the CGM July 1st...so only a few days in but I'm encouraged as I see your routine and have a better idea of what to do. Thank you!
Love it! Real life! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother styling my waist length waves hair with gel and mousse. After it's dry, up into a bun or French braid it goes! We live on a ranch with 3 kids, horses, dogs and work. Gotta tie back the hair! But it kinda holds up anyway.....and I do no product days when I know I'm not leaving the place. Which is 6-7 days a week now 😂 Thanks for the fun video Susie!
I wish my hair could be thick again like yours. I'm having so much hair loss the last couple years and haven't been able to figure out why. You've got gorgeous hair ❤️
Home w a 3 yr old & 3 mo old sounds like a lot of work! Quarantine is a good chance to give the hair a break w buns, ponies, etc. Been doing a lot of those, too. The Briogeo looks fun! Your hair is looking so healthy!!
I loved your video! This is a real routine everyone can do, simple easy, not a lot of stuff. I’m also a mom and i think every mom can relate to this. Here you have a new subscriber from Tijuana, Mexico!!!
Just so you know Curly Susie, ALL your video's are valuable & entertaining! I so appreciate your honesty. I never feel like your trying give us a sales pitch like so many other UA-cam influencers. Your evaluation of the products you choose is refreshing. Most of the products you've mentioned over the yrs have worked of me! I love that many of them are from the drugstore too! Although, I've been interested in the Briogeo products recently & here you are trying them! I watched your wash day video & am interested in your thoughts once you've completed your full evaluation. Also, someone asked what lipstick you mostly wear in your video's. It's the one you applied in this video with your son on your lap. Essence #4 I believe you said. I checked out the colour at my drug store. It looked much darker than the one you wear. Could you check the # again for me? I'd appreciate it as it's a great colour & it's affordable. Thanks so much. Stay safe! I'm a Canadian girl too!
Oh shoot! It might be #3.... I’ll check in a minute. I LOVE briogeo 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼it’s too expensive but I will repurchase the curl creme 100% & probably the conditioner if it goes on sale
If it’s the velvet matte you are looking at. You are right. It’s #3. Sorry. I also wear #4 in the essence ones that come in the white tube... that one is called “this is nude” it’s lighter
Loved this realistic and in depth video! Our curl patterns are so similar and I relate to how the curl pattern will unintentionally fall out throughout the week. Also I recommend a satin scarf or a bonnet to bed instead of the pineapple.
Love this video! Thank you for showing us every day realistic hair and sharing your journey with us. I love how real you are in your videos - you're beautiful inside and out
Love love love this....makes us all feel better about our hair! Thank you for making this....this should be a challenge for other curly influencers....
I'm about to round the corner on one year of curly girl method(ish). Thank you for this video, it was just what I needed to remind myself that not every refresh or wash day is going to be same. I loved seeing that as a busy mom of four, I'm just going to have to embrace the good hair days and pony up (pun intended) the bad ones!
Hi Susie, I have a kinda damaged hair bec of chemical straightening/heat curling/and other products. Ive been looking online (ig/fb) ways on how to take care or restore my healthy curls back. Then I saw your 1 yo video, I want to try the curly girl method and I am looking forward to get some help from you. I am going to try what Ive watched tonight and also the products that you are using. Thank you very much for sharing your journey. 💖
Thank you, thank you. I have been thinking I am doing everything wrong as I want it to look perfect always. This video inspires me to keep going on the path to my curly hair pattern.
Thanks for sharing suzie! I always struggle with being a "perfect" curly girl, styling and not pulling it back all the time. This gave a more realistic idea of how often curlies do their hair, which I needed. Also, I never refresh and you made this look alot easier than it sounds, I will have to try it out!
I honestly really loved seeing your evaluations of your hair, and the ways you refresh and why. Thank you for making this! And also, I’m pleased to hear you say “toque.” It’s still called that, all the way on the west coast :)
LOVED this video! Girl, the struggle is real, thank you for sharing that. It gives me hope for my curls, specially on the days when my hair is driving me nuts. Love all the products you've suggested. Thanks again!
Quarantine has made me so lazy that I've thrown it up in a bun more times then not.😬 Maybe this will give mee so inspiration to actually do my hair!😂 thanks for the video! I always enjoy them!🥰
Thank you for this! I see so many people new to the CGM that wash their hair or refresh and try to wear their hair down every single day then get overwhelmed. I wash twice a week and I only wear my hair down for a day or two and then up for a day or two before I wash it again. My hair does that straight roots curly/wavy ends and I tend to wear it in a ponytail when it does that so I can still have the pretty roller-esque ends showing.
I’d love to know what hair products and what Elaine Benis’ routine was on Seinfield! This was a great video. I tend to use too much products to refresh my hair. My water bottle soaks my hair too much vs just lightly wetting my hands from the faucet. Great tips.
This was very useful. I'm going to try your refresh method, because my hair gets so stringy on my lower layer and refreshing never seems to help it. Your hair looks great after each refresh. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for doing this! It's hard when one wakes up with a different curly head every day. Nice to know it happens to others and they don't stress about it. :)
you are absolutely the best curly hair guru i have ever watched - you are very honest and i love you girl hihi lots of regards from Poland (Europe) xxx
This video was so helpful! Thank you so much! I recently started the curly girl method and was really struggling to find a week routine and this was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much♥️
Love you and your family. Humble and real. My refresh is usually hanging my head over the tub and using water with a little conditioner in it. I’m sure you taught me that😀
Thank you SO much for that video. It is great to see a video that you can tell is pure reality. I've only been on this "curly method" journey for a couple months, after regularly straightening a couple times a week for a very long time. I'm hoping my hair is still getting used to it because it in no way is as nice as any of the videos I watch, trying my best not to compare as I know everyone is different. I have a feeling I'm still just getting to know what works for me and haven't quite found it yet. Ugh. My hair is pretty similar in curl type to yours, probably 2C-3B. Thank you for the dose of quarantine reality, it helps!!
Susie- you are just cute as can be. Your hair is looking fabulous these days- even in a ponytail. I've tried your quickie mousse refresh but my hair felt so hard and crispy and like it was glued together. It didn't look horrible but I could not stand how it felt.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Super detailed and realistic! Now I feel better knowing I’m not the only one who has to refresh more than once a week! Saturday was my favorite day from u waking up looking a little crazy to the final result of that wash day 😅🥰
I always wondered how to say that word: tooook. Not what I would have guessed. You really have gorgeous hair. In the winter I wash my hair every fifth day, but summers are really hot in Texas and my scalp sweats like crazy. My hair is a whole new level of trouble in the summer!
This is fantastic thanks for this video! I’m just starting to embrace my natural curls and have been so frustrated. I spend so much more time styling my naturally curly hair compared to when I had chemically straightened hair and since I shower at night even when I put my hair up in a pineapple it looks super messy the next day. I guess I need to adjust my expectations a bit 😊
Thank you for making me realise my crazy, only looks good for one day, curls/waves, are ok. Really useful routine info - I wet my hair for refreshing the same way and to be honest sometimes I think my refresh looks better than wash day 🤷♀️. Stay safe and love from the UK 😀
This is the BEST VIDEO YET!!!!!! We have exactly the same hair. I'm so glad to see someone who has the same hair type, I could relate to everything!. Are you still liking the Briogeo curl cream? Wanting to know if it is holding up to your initial review. Thanks again from New Waterford.
Hey Dian! Thank you so much. I didn’t want to love the Briogeo line as much as I do because it’s WAY too expensive. But I will 100% repurchase the conditioner & creme if it goes on sale. I keep checking Sephora
@@CurlySusie Great video and so informative! Which is your favorite shampoo right now... the Shea moisture? Definitely going to try the Brigio conditioner.
Hi I'm in Texas and I'm a long hair guy my hair is very similar to yours my hair is elbow length 2b 2c your videos are very informative especially as a guy that knows nothing on taming the daily struggle thanks from Texas 😃
Watching this a year later. Thank you, Curly Susie!!! I thought discovering i had wavy on top, curly on the bottom hair would be easier... it's definitely not!! I just blow-dried my hair straight after a year of trying the CGM method...I had several days of absolutely no worries, no refreshing. I will probably try to continue to work with my wavy/curly hair because I don't want to damage it blow drying. Ugh! I might get a permanent wave to even out my textures and make it easier to deal with. Decisions...decisions...
Have been watching your videos for quite some time now really loving all the knowledge i m getting , big applause👏👏👏 for your honesty as i always wondered how 2 nd, 3rd or 4th day hair look like thank you sooo much for showing the true picture as i always thought that something is wrong with my hair , you have no idea how much you have helped ...
I LOVE you and your videos and am excited to check out your new channel too. What other conditioners do you like that have a lot of slip besides the Tresemme Botanique??? I loved the Tropikal Bliss(but it takes so long to get it) and I like the Shea Moisture Leave In. I am a Bioterra gel fan too.
Soooo helpful, I re started the method and I am determined to a) not get overwhelmed and keep it simple b) just cream and gel for 1 month😱 maybe mousse to refresh 🤞 Please keep making videos, I adore you. Be safe and a very Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family ❤️
Managed to watch this whole video with a toddler playing on my lap! Win. =) Seeing you with precious (but distracting) Wilson and your cat made me laugh. I haven't done much to my hair while in lockdown, but I have taken up one of your tips--I haven't brushed or combed my hair in over a month!--just finger combing in the shower. I actually love my wavy/crimpy carefree hair now and some curls are forming in the front, where it's normally straight. Thanks!
3:17 perfect example of my hair got perfect by the end of the day, when it finally dries completely, and then it's time to go to bed again. Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for the authenticity.
Thanks for a realistic routine that the average person can follow. Much love from Newfoundland 🥰
That’s cuz I’m the average person 🤣
God bless you for your honesty Susie. And for letting us know it’s ok for us curly girls to not look like a model every single day haha

I have been staying away from mousse just because it is so crunchy ,but that was when I was using it before diffusing so I think I might try it for a refresh day. I understand the temptation to be self deprecating, your hair is glorious and I strive to be as diligent as I can so I can achieve something close to that success.
Your videos are wonderful and I appreciate all your work! It been so helpful. I like my waves but after two years of no heat, and using the curly girl method as much as possible, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is way more expensive than straightening and so much more time consuming. It’s so much work ALL THE TIME, otherwise it a ratted mess. I have never spent so much on products and so much stress before, over my hair. I don’t find it worth the time and effort. Next hair appointment, I’m going back to what I was doing before which was straightening it once a week and switching it every other week or so, to waves. I feel like keeping my natural waves has consumed me, and I’m tired of thinking about hair and spending so much money on it😜. But I’m grateful for the knowledge I’ve gained from you and other UA-cam channels.♥️
This is one of the most helpful videos I've found about dealing with wavy/curly hair every day. Thanks so much for sharing
Today is 11 weeks for me using CGM. Your videos have encouraged me - I’ve watched several. So nice to see your refresh methods- more than one! Thanks for all the information and help. Oh- loved the “Elaine” reference, too!
Thank you Susie!! I just started the curly girl method last week. It's nice to see reality, I have three kids and I'm getting annoyed thinking I can't tie my hair back! This video was very helpful and motivational for me, thanks soooo much! ❤️❤️❤️
Well, this is one of the best/realistic wavy-curly hair videos I have seen. Thanks for the honesty. Have hair like yours and am finally accepting it will change and 'do its own thing' day by day or after well, you know, an hour! 😆
Your curls are so shiny! They look great. Your bad hair day is still 10 times better than when I wake up from sleeping all night 😂. I feel like I always have frizz. I appreciate you showing us your real life hair routine for week.
This was SUPER helpful! I started the CGM July 1st...so only a few days in but I'm encouraged as I see your routine and have a better idea of what to do. Thank you!
Hey Sherri it’s December and I wanted to ask how is it going for you?? I re started for the 5th, 12th I have lost count.
Love it! Real life! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother styling my waist length waves hair with gel and mousse. After it's dry, up into a bun or French braid it goes! We live on a ranch with 3 kids, horses, dogs and work. Gotta tie back the hair! But it kinda holds up anyway.....and I do no product days when I know I'm not leaving the place. Which is 6-7 days a week now 😂 Thanks for the fun video Susie!
A very loose bun shouldn't crush your curls too much! Maybe a Spock bun?
I wish my hair could be thick again like yours. I'm having so much hair loss the last couple years and haven't been able to figure out why. You've got gorgeous hair ❤️
Home w a 3 yr old & 3 mo old sounds like a lot of work! Quarantine is a good chance to give the hair a break w buns, ponies, etc. Been doing a lot of those, too. The Briogeo looks fun! Your hair is looking so healthy!!
I love your hair!!! It’s always so shiny 🙌🏼
Hey there 💕💕💕 I’m so excited that you commented. I LOVE your channel :)
Straight Up Susie and I love yours ❤️❤️❤️
Relative noob here and really love your vids, you explain clearly and give great real life examples xxx
I loved your video! This is a real routine everyone can do, simple easy, not a lot of stuff. I’m also a mom and i think every mom can relate to this. Here you have a new subscriber from Tijuana, Mexico!!!
Just so you know Curly Susie, ALL your video's are valuable & entertaining! I so appreciate your honesty. I never feel like your trying give us a sales pitch like so many other UA-cam influencers. Your evaluation of the products you choose is refreshing. Most of the products you've mentioned over the yrs have worked of me! I love that many of them are from the drugstore too! Although, I've been interested in the Briogeo products recently & here you are trying them! I watched your wash day video & am interested in your thoughts once you've completed your full evaluation. Also, someone asked what lipstick you mostly wear in your video's. It's the one you applied in this video with your son on your lap. Essence #4 I believe you said. I checked out the colour at my drug store. It looked much darker than the one you wear. Could you check the # again for me? I'd appreciate it as it's a great colour & it's affordable. Thanks so much. Stay safe! I'm a Canadian girl too!
Oh shoot! It might be #3.... I’ll check in a minute. I LOVE briogeo 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼it’s too expensive but I will repurchase the curl creme 100% & probably the conditioner if it goes on sale
If it’s the velvet matte you are looking at. You are right. It’s #3. Sorry.
I also wear #4 in the essence ones that come in the white tube... that one is called “this is nude” it’s lighter
@@CurlySusie Good to know. Thanks!
@@CurlySusie Thanks SO much for taking the time to answer this. I bought them both! Love the colours for everyday wear.
Loved this realistic and in depth video! Our curl patterns are so similar and I relate to how the curl pattern will unintentionally fall out throughout the week. Also I recommend a satin scarf or a bonnet to bed instead of the pineapple.
Love this video! Thank you for showing us every day realistic hair and sharing your journey with us. I love how real you are in your videos - you're beautiful inside and out
i love how honest and authetic this video is!
Thanks for showing us this process through the week. It’s actually very informative and comforting to know I’m not the only one who has these issues!
Love!! 🥰 thank you for sharing your weeks hair routine. I love your hair; it’s gorgeous. I tried and loved the biotera hair gel. 💕
Love love love this....makes us all feel better about our hair! Thank you for making this....this should be a challenge for other curly influencers....
I'm about to round the corner on one year of curly girl method(ish). Thank you for this video, it was just what I needed to remind myself that not every refresh or wash day is going to be same. I loved seeing that as a busy mom of four, I'm just going to have to embrace the good hair days and pony up (pun intended) the bad ones!
Hi Susie, I have a kinda damaged hair bec of chemical straightening/heat curling/and other products. Ive been looking online (ig/fb) ways on how to take care or restore my healthy curls back. Then I saw your 1 yo video, I want to try the curly girl method and I am looking forward to get some help from you. I am going to try what Ive watched tonight and also the products that you are using. Thank you very much for sharing your journey. 💖
Wowie! Watching this has given me so much more respect for you and the effort you put in - not just your hair but in your home and family as well.
Just starting to accept my curls and this has been the most helpful video I have seen thus far. Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you. I have been thinking I am doing everything wrong as I want it to look perfect always. This video inspires me to keep going on the path to my curly hair pattern.
Thanks for sharing suzie! I always struggle with being a "perfect" curly girl, styling and not pulling it back all the time. This gave a more realistic idea of how often curlies do their hair, which I needed. Also, I never refresh and you made this look alot easier than it sounds, I will have to try it out!
I honestly really loved seeing your evaluations of your hair, and the ways you refresh and why. Thank you for making this! And also, I’m pleased to hear you say “toque.” It’s still called that, all the way on the west coast :)
This video was amazing! I always felt bad about my hair not looking UA-cam perfect and craved content for the reality of the refresh
LOVED this video! Girl, the struggle is real, thank you for sharing that. It gives me hope for my curls, specially on the days when my hair is driving me nuts. Love all the products you've suggested. Thanks again!
Quarantine has made me so lazy that I've thrown it up in a bun more times then not.😬 Maybe this will give mee so inspiration to actually do my hair!😂 thanks for the video! I always enjoy them!🥰
I thought I was doing something wrong when my curls just go away after a few days. Mine is pretty much identical to yours. Thank you for this.
Thank you for this! I see so many people new to the CGM that wash their hair or refresh and try to wear their hair down every single day then get overwhelmed. I wash twice a week and I only wear my hair down for a day or two and then up for a day or two before I wash it again. My hair does that straight roots curly/wavy ends and I tend to wear it in a ponytail when it does that so I can still have the pretty roller-esque ends showing.
❤️❤️ So friggin' pretty, Susie! I absolutely LOVE the half up, half down. Thank you for this!
I’d love to know what hair products and what Elaine Benis’ routine was on Seinfield! This was a great video. I tend to use too much products to refresh my hair. My water bottle soaks my hair too much vs just lightly wetting my hands from the faucet. Great tips.
One of the most helpful videos ever! Thank you for being so honest, down to earth and real. Xx
What a great idea for a video!! Thanks!!!! I enjoyed it! I didn't think it was too repetitive, nor was I bored. 😊
Love that Lois! My hair is exactly like yours, right down to the straighter bits underneath. Your videos are so helpful. Thanks!
Omg this is SO REALISTIC. I absolutely love this video
This was very useful. I'm going to try your refresh method, because my hair gets so stringy on my lower layer and refreshing never seems to help it. Your hair looks great after each refresh. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for doing this! It's hard when one wakes up with a different curly head every day. Nice to know it happens to others and they don't stress about it. :)
This is exactly what we need- reality! Thank you for being honest. I really respect and appreciate that.
you are absolutely the best curly hair guru i have ever watched - you are very honest and i love you girl hihi lots of regards from Poland (Europe) xxx
This video was so helpful! Thank you so much! I recently started the curly girl method and was really struggling to find a week routine and this was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much♥️
Love you and your family. Humble and real. My refresh is usually hanging my head over the tub and using water with a little conditioner in it. I’m sure you taught me that😀
Thank you SO much for that video. It is great to see a video that you can tell is pure reality. I've only been on this "curly method" journey for a couple months, after regularly straightening a couple times a week for a very long time. I'm hoping my hair is still getting used to it because it in no way is as nice as any of the videos I watch, trying my best not to compare as I know everyone is different. I have a feeling I'm still just getting to know what works for me and haven't quite found it yet. Ugh. My hair is pretty similar in curl type to yours, probably 2C-3B. Thank you for the dose of quarantine reality, it helps!!
👩🏻🦱This was a fun video idea! Realistic! I love that you are always REAL! I loved your hair every day!
Love this realistic video!
This is such a great video! I love the concept and I’d love to see it again!
Susie- you are just cute as can be. Your hair is looking fabulous these days- even in a ponytail. I've tried your quickie mousse refresh but my hair felt so hard and crispy and like it was glued together. It didn't look horrible but I could not stand how it felt.
This was really good, it was realistic. I like your simplistic routine. And your hair is beautiful (and so are you)!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Super detailed and realistic! Now I feel better knowing I’m not the only one who has to refresh more than once a week! Saturday was my favorite day from u waking up looking a little crazy to the final result of that wash day 😅🥰
I always wondered how to say that word: tooook. Not what I would have guessed. You really have gorgeous hair. In the winter I wash my hair every fifth day, but summers are really hot in Texas and my scalp sweats like crazy. My hair is a whole new level of trouble in the summer!
Love love love love this!!! I have been wanting to watch someones week long play by play. Love it. 💞💞💞💞
Awesome demonstration and exactly how my hair days are.👍
This is fantastic thanks for this video! I’m just starting to embrace my natural curls and have been so frustrated. I spend so much more time styling my naturally curly hair compared to when I had chemically straightened hair and since I shower at night even when I put my hair up in a pineapple it looks super messy the next day. I guess I need to adjust my expectations a bit 😊
This is the most useful video i have ever seen about curly hair :) thank you!!!
This was so helpful! Relate so much to a lot of this. Thanks sweetie.
I love this video Susie, such a great concept, sending you all my love and good vibes.
Love this video of the whole week’s processes. You’re so helpful. Appreciate it!
Thank you for making me realise my crazy, only looks good for one day, curls/waves, are ok. Really useful routine info - I wet my hair for refreshing the same way and to be honest sometimes I think my refresh looks better than wash day 🤷♀️. Stay safe and love from the UK 😀
Laura Lont same here! My refreshes are curlier and have more volume
This is the BEST VIDEO YET!!!!!! We have exactly the same hair. I'm so glad to see someone who has the same hair type, I could relate to everything!. Are you still liking the Briogeo curl cream? Wanting to know if it is holding up to your initial review. Thanks again from New Waterford.
Hey Dian! Thank you so much. I didn’t want to love the Briogeo line as much as I do because it’s WAY too expensive. But I will 100% repurchase the conditioner & creme if it goes on sale. I keep checking Sephora
@@CurlySusie Great video and so informative! Which is your favorite shampoo right now... the Shea moisture? Definitely going to try the Brigio conditioner.
Hi I'm in Texas and I'm a long hair guy my hair is very similar to yours my hair is elbow length 2b 2c your videos are very informative especially as a guy that knows nothing on taming the daily struggle thanks from Texas 😃
Watching this a year later. Thank you, Curly Susie!!!
I thought discovering i had wavy on top, curly on the bottom hair would be easier... it's definitely not!! I just blow-dried my hair straight after a year of trying the CGM method...I had several days of absolutely no worries, no refreshing.
I will probably try to continue to work with my wavy/curly hair because I don't want to damage it blow drying. Ugh!
I might get a permanent wave to even out my textures and make it easier to deal with. Decisions...decisions...
Have been watching your videos for quite some time now really loving all the knowledge i m getting , big applause👏👏👏 for your honesty as i always wondered how 2 nd, 3rd or 4th day hair look like thank you sooo much for showing the true picture as i always thought that something is wrong with my hair , you have no idea how much you have helped ...
This was a great video! Also loved the background music.
I LOVE you and your videos and am excited to check out your new channel too. What other conditioners do you like that have a lot of slip besides the Tresemme Botanique??? I loved the Tropikal Bliss(but it takes so long to get it) and I like the Shea Moisture Leave In. I am a Bioterra gel fan too.
Thank you so much :)
Hmmmmm I love briogeo curl charisma but it’s very pricy 😬 I also like the cantu TXTR leave-in/rinse out from Sally
Soooo helpful, I re started the method and I am determined to
a) not get overwhelmed and keep it simple
b) just cream and gel for 1 month😱 maybe mousse to refresh 🤞
Please keep making videos, I adore you. Be safe and a very Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family ❤️
Your Honesty Is soooo Attractive thank you big sis
Thank you for your honesty and always being real. ♥️ great video.
Thanks for the video! I always learn something new from all of your posts.
This was a super helpful and informative video, thanks Susie!
I am so glad you did this, I feel like a fraud or like I'm cheating when I tie my hair up but it's good to see that's normal!
Managed to watch this whole video with a toddler playing on my lap! Win. =) Seeing you with precious (but distracting) Wilson and your cat made me laugh. I haven't done much to my hair while in lockdown, but I have taken up one of your tips--I haven't brushed or combed my hair in over a month!--just finger combing in the shower. I actually love my wavy/crimpy carefree hair now and some curls are forming in the front, where it's normally straight. Thanks!
