- **Open for Products Mentioned** Hey guys! I'm back!!! Took a week while my dad and I went on a father daughter trip. It was lovely (did a lot of hiking in canyons in NM). But now it's fantastic to be back home and able to wash and style my hair again!

Do you want freedom from frizz? ➡ bit.ly/freedom...
Thank you thank you thank you everyone for watching this video!!! You guys are seriously the best! Keep in mind that this is my first attempt at trying this and looking back I totally realize that there are better/more efficient ways to do this. And that this is just for fun! Hope y’all are having a great day!!! I’m so glad y’all are hanging out with me! 🤗
Swavy Curly Courtney What would you do differently next time? I really want to try this method.
@@conniekirby9223 Yeah. This looks more my style since I can't stop touching my hair when it's wet, maybe I could sleep on it and then style the next day.
Connie Kirby I think the main thing I would do is to wet my hair in the sink, or in the bathtub. Using the spray bottle kind of took forever and I don’t think my hair got quite wet enough. But overall I really liked it!
with your hair down, you look SO much like my niece.
Swavy Curly Courtney link to the towel in the video please, newbie trying to find my wavy/curl
I'm totally lazy in the morning, so my method is for those who like to sleep until the last possible second.
I wash, condition, curl cream, gel, Denman brush, and dry my hair upside-down with a deep diffuser at night and DON'T SCRUNCH THE CRUNCH! I sleep in a satin bonnet. I neck-down shower in the morning, and get ready - dress and makeup. The last thing I do is remove the bonnet, scrunch the crunch upside down about 25 times, then fluff at the scalp very lightly, then flip right-side up. A pick finishes the fluffing, a little hairspray, and I'm ready to go! No wetting, no lengthy styling. Easy peasy and cuts down my 'get ready' time by 45 minutes!
Me too! It really helps with time
Take out like half your steps and you've got my routine
I started being curlygirl ish about 2 months ago and it just keeps getting longer and longer of a routine...
@@sarahkp729 Try to stick to the basics and maybe split your routine. I just tried the method in this video and it was significantly easier to split the routine rather than doing it all in one go. Don't forget that as your hair gets healthier, it will require less wash days which means less lengthy routines. I used to see this whole CGM process as long and annoying, but as I learn to love myself, I've come to really appreciate this time with myself and caring for my body in a way that is mindful and honoring. It may sound silly, but getting to know my hair and what it likes and doesn't like has helped me see my body differently and really appreciate all she's done for me, even when I hated her in the past.
What do you use?
Kate Whitley HEAR! HEAR!
I'm in awe of your ability to wash your hair under the tap without drowning! I get water in my eyes, up my nose and everywhere else lol . Love your videos too❤💓
Michelle Stratford me too
😂😂😂 well thank you.
Me, too!!
Same haha!
You have literally changed my hair life. I've been CG a year, struggling for consistent wash days and day 2s. After obsessively rewatching like 3 of your videos, I bought new product and am on day 3 hair with actual curls. Frizzy but defined wavy curls. Thank you for your knowledge and wonderful presence. Keep all the videos coming! I'm on that is journey with you!
I have been doing this for several months now and it has really been working for me. I wash and condition at night and let my hair dry with a little leave in. I put my hair in a bonnet for sleep. In the morning I completely soak my hair (that seems to be the trick to this) over the tub and add my stylers. I plop while I have my coffee and then take my hair down to air dry a little while I put on my makeup. Then I diffuse the rest of the way before I get dressed. This routine seems to be the best for me so far. BTW, your hair looks great and love your videos.
I love what this did to your waves/curls! It looks so curly!
I have fine, wavy hair and if I damp style instead of putting in stylers in the shower with soaking wet hair, I get ringlets. I think putting in stylers with soaking wet hair stretches out my curls/waves because all the water weighs them down. I get out of the shower, I use a wet brush or Denman brush to create clumps when my hair is still very wet, then I scrunch out excess water with a microfiber towel. After that, I put in my mousse and gel. That gives me the curliest results.
I'm going to try that and use her roping technique!!
Super interesting, I have 2a hair and I have such a hard time creating clumps so clump first and then dry a little and the put product in damp hair is interesting
For those of us just starting out curly girl journey, your videos are wonderfully helpful. My hair has a wave pattern similar to yours so I find them doublely helpful. Thank you.
I think you got some bomb results!! I feel like damp styling is totally your thing!
I can’t get over how healthy and shiny your hair is! I’m starting my CGM journey today and I have been watching your videos for the past couple of days. Thanks for all the tips and tricks! 💕
I can’t get over how much time and energy and products and products and more products she needs to use for her hair to look just like mine right out of the shower
So I just tried this hack and OH. MY. PEARLS. This is perfect for me and my crazy busy life with 3 small children! After my kids were in bed, I washed my hair then deep conditioned for 45 min in a shower cap, then rinsed really well and added a little bit of leave-in. I let it air dry for a couple hours then did a pineapple before bed. In the AM I gently brushed my hair, then soaked it in the shower, added a little bit of leave-in and then my styling products. It's 90% dry right now but I can already tell that this method will be my go-to. Especially since I have the most time to spend on my hair in the evenings but not enough energy to do the whole routine before bed.
So THANK YOU for making this video! It's a game changer for me. Also I noticed your method of applying products is to finger comb them through your hair. I used to do praying hands only because I was afraid of clump separation but I noticed the product wasn't being evenly applied that way. So I tried finger combing the way you did and WOW. Also a game changer. I'm super pumped to see how my curls improve from here on out!
I just started the CGM and I'm so hoping this method works for my hair. It usually takes 6-8 hours for my hair to dry because it's very long, so washing and night, letting it dry, and styling in the morning sounds brilliant!
I love this, I have been doing a variation of this, but I haven’t been using as much gel and maybe that’s why my waves are not lasting. I was scared to use too much gel in that it would weigh my hair down and make it look greasy, but I think now after watching this I haven’t been using enough. I’ve been inspired to try some new things tomorrow morning!
Same here! I did what she did, which was to finger comb the products through my hair in sections (instead of one giant clump of gel and praying hands.) It has worked fabulously! I've always been hesitant to add too much product out of fear it would weight it down but oddly, it works better with more product.
@@curious_k8 it's hard to remember your products
I just had my first successful 2nd day wear for my hair down since I started my mostly cg journey. And the only way I managed that was 3x as much gel as I'd normally use, and on the first day I didn't break the casts or touch my hair much at all. I carefully pulled the coils up unto a hair clip bun situation, went about my relatively quiet day, and slept as normal. Today, I dry scrubbed my roots upside down, and scrunched out any crunchiness still left, and I actually had second day curls.
Usually by day 2, if it's not too greesy looking at the roots, it has zero curl left, so I don't want to wear it down because it has no shape and I don't want to heat style.
I'd love to see people with similar issues share how they manage to get multiple days of wear without damp refreshing. I'd need to dunk my head under the tub faucet to re wet it, and if I'm going that far I feel like I may as well just wash it. 😞
I know this is an old post and I just started cgm, but I found on nonwash days if I take a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner, gently finger detangle, scrunch, gel and scrunch, then wait again to scrunch out crunch my hair actually seems curlier than after styling on wash day.
Wow!! Thanks I tried this and it was wonderful!! Best results!!
You have the most beautiful hair I have ever seen. No joke.
Yes, I agree!!!
I made hair towels out of old Ralph Lauren bedsheets (600 thread count cotton, very silky) sewing two pieces together. It works great!
Your hair looks amazing 😉
I feel like waiting till your hair mostly dry when you have high porosity before styling stops water from weighing down your curls
I wait a good 30 minutes after my shower to style and get way more bounce and my curls are tighter I have high porosity 2c-3b 💕
I think it's more a function of fine hair. I have low porosity, but super fine hair, and the less water there is, the more the curl bounces up.
Nail Polish yea and I found I love products that people say are “flash drying”
Christine Kofman maybe it helps for high porosity or fine hair 🤔
I have medium texture not fine so maybe that’s it ☺️
Just to confuse everyone more...lol
I have fine low porosity hair that won't form ringlets unless soaking wet when products are applied and styled.
Hair is so weird!
Wow, looks like you got tighter curls for some reason with this method! More (longer) layers would definitely help more 3a curls form. Just something to think about. Your adorable and I love your videos!
i've done this twice now and I'M NEVER GOING BACK. i shower with my girls at night and this has made my life so much easier!!!!
WOW! I watched this video bc yesterday I did not have a great wash day. I fixed it after if was all dry by wetting it and emulsifying blueberry bliss jelly and scrunching with a t-shirt and I was happy with the results. I think this is a great technique. I will be practicing this on wash days after my hair dries. I'm 2a2b so I need all the wavy I can get.
I was needing a Courtney fix! Hope you had a nice relaxing vacation with your family. This is pretty much what I do, except I don’t plop any more. I microplop instead. This method has given me the best results. I like to shower at night and I don’t want to spend forever doing my hair. I don’t diffuse either. I just air dry. I loved your results! I would love to see you try this more than one day and see how you would refine it. Thanks for all your hard work. Your videos are my absolute favorite!
I finally got a Flairosol bottle. It is so finely spraying and my hand doesn't get cramped. I love it.
Thank you for taking the time to video all if this. I am a visual learner.
Oh my gosh I did this last night and it was a great way to give my hair a little break and also to see my progress on my hair as far as transitioning! I loved it because i felt like I could take my time and not sleep on my freshly styled hair!
Yes!!! I love this! That's fantastic that you tried it. I totally agree with you!
Awesome! At the very end - the body in your curls! Wow! My Amazon order came early, roommate is gone so just me & the furby ... I'm going to give the curly method a whirl ... thank you for all the videos you've shared. Most important lesson I've learned from you is applying the product to WET hair! Wish I hadn't tossed that 1 tube of gel. Think it would have been great this way!
I asked it before but please, please, please review Shea Moisture, and maybe also Cantu? The Cantu Curl Activator Cream is magic, and Shea Moisture has the BEST conditioners!
Sadie McC Yes! Don’t worry 😉 those are on my to try list!!!
The Perfect Haircare towel really is perfect, isn't it?! I tried it a year ago, and instantly fell in love! The fabric is amazing! I won't use any other towel on my hair. We moved last winter and my towel was lost. You can bet the farm that I immediately bought another one!
Princess Pea it is really perfect!!! How awesome that you love it to! I traveled with mine the last week and that is when my obsession began!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney How long does that little bottle of dry shampoo last you? It seems pretty pricey, but I know that the straight powders last longer than the spray cans do.
This is how I refresh my hair, by wetting my head and putting gel in, and I think my waves are better the second/third day.
You hair looked curlier with this technique.
Thank you so very much for showing how to put on a silk scarf!!
We missed you!! I love this video because I love washing my hair at night!! Thank you for all the time and effort you put in your videos they are so helpful and I have learned so much!! I love how detailed/step by step your videos are 😍💕
Kara Tracey you just made my day!!!! Thank you so much. M really glad if my videos are helpful! You are so sweet and I really really appreciate you!
I agree! We missed you, Courtney!
I’ve grown tired of straightening my curls and found these videos! I’m hoping to turn my frizzy curls in to beautiful curls with these guides!
I’m totally going to try this because I HATE washing my hair in the morning and I usually prefer my refresh results over my wash day results. Maybe I’ll get lucky!
I had an epiphany a couple of months ago that water was weighing down my hair on wash day styling. I began spraying my hair on refresh days with just enough water to dampen it, add a little gel or cream, scrunch it back up and diffuse enough to set a cast. I was getting so much more wave on refresh days than on wash days once I started doing that. It gets pretty frizzy though, and I have these weird stringy bits leftover from wash day. I think I’m going to try leave in and air dry only on wash day instead of product and diffusing on wash day, then styler/diffuse the next day like you did. Maybe that will take care of the stringy bits. I think a bit more water on refresh day will help the frizz.
Wow those were some great results! I haven't tried this technique in a long time. It used to be that if I rewet my hair it turned into a frizzball, but it's gotten so much healthier in the last 6 months (FOUR+ years into the cg journey) that I might have more success with it now. Thanks for the demo!
I think this method helped your volume a lot!! It helps mine, too. :) This is very similar to what I have done for months, now, and it works for me!
I like to sleep on mine wet, so I sleep through my dry time! I shower at night, then plop for a long time, with or without leave-in, then take off the plop and sleep on it wet. In the morning it's mostly dry, and I spritz with water (just dampening, not drenching) and style with mousse or gel. Since it's not soaking wet, it dries in just an hour or two, and the product stays in my hair instead of getting diluted by water and soaked away in my plop tee. It's also nice because if I'm running super late, I get decent results just spraying some Garnier Wonder Waves in my hair. It's not perfect, but still presentable.
This method helps my waves to not weigh themselves down, and I'm not touching my hair while it dries, so it's less frizzy. I try to be careful not to re-wet my roots or they will lose volume. My under layers do get straight from being slept on, but they don't show much!
I’m just starting CG stuff. This seems like a good idea, but just seems faster just to wash it, or wet it in the shower, than to wet it that much with a sprayer... when I use a sprayer to spray even less wet than that, takes foorrreeevveerrr.
I always wash now, style later!♥️ Have for years!! I love your results! I always just flip my head over in the sink/tub to wet it. Your results are amazing!
That is soooo cool! And thank you! You are very kind!
I thought it took way too long! I think I’d rather do it all at once! Great video though! Thank you
Agreed. WAY too much effort
I didn't see your friends video, but I saw someone else's. The next day she re-wet her hair completley and I just was not convinced. This does not make anything go faster (the claim) The way you dampened it is more convincing to me. Also the wrapping of the hair at bedtime so it won't get all crazy. Although I think on EXTREAMLY dry hair, like mine, it just won't work. If I try this, it will have to be when I know I'm not going out. It's very hard for me to get my hair to look decent the "normal way" so this really scares me a bit. Thank you. Love you lots becuse your so real and I can just see your heart floating around you. ♥
I have a question. My hair comes out in handfuls every time I wash. It makes it very hard to apply product right after because I still get hair coming out and sticking to my hands while I'm trying to rake in product. Do others have this problem? All the cg videos I've watched everyones hands always seem hair free. Thanks!
This happens to me too! I was wondering if anybody else experienced this. It is extremely annoying but I just stand in the shower when I apply my stylers and rinse my hands off when I finish raking the product through my hair.
Mine comes out like crazy too.
Shedding hair is super normal but if you’re losing more hair than you ever remember shedding before cgm or certain curl products, look into curly product related hair loss videos/pages. A lot of curly girls are suffering from severe hair loss, thinning & scalp issues. I’ve experienced thinning while using certain products or following certain curly routines and it’s hard to notice at first.
Glad to know I'm not alone. I've often wondered if I'm lacking in some vitamin or something
Ditto...it sucks! I used to wear my hair ironed out but my hair started thinning so much that I decided to go curly to minimize any pulling on my hair. Plus, it looks fuller and my hair loss isn’t quite so glaring.
This technique def made your hair look great! Your have so much more curl and definition! Some days when I’m lazy and wash my hair at night and style the next day I get better result too! I think I’m def gonna stick to this technique
I wash and condition my hair at night and let it air dry as well. In the morning I wet it fully under the bathtub faucet, add and rinse a little bit of conditioner, wet plop for 5 minutes, then add curl cream, foam and scrunch it all in with some gel. I then scrunch for 2-3 minutes with a tee shirt type towel, let it set for 10-15 minutes, then diffuse. I don’t know why, but rewetting my hair with a spray bottle always causes frizz.
Love this! Agreed it doesn’t save time, but having the flexibility to break up the time commitment is great, especially with kids. I do think your shirt is super cute. Share where it came from, if you don’t mind!
This is the best best best wave and curls Courteney has gotten ever!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT
Silk bonnets from Amazon are a lot easier to throw on. ;)
They never stay on for me! But I use a silk pillow and then pineapple for protection! Helps a ton!
You're hair looks really good with that method! My hair is REALLY dry..i want to try the curly girl method...i'm binge watching all your videos!
How are there 175 dislikes? What is there to not like!!!! Your hair turned out gorgeous!!!
Thank you for all the effort and time you put in to these videos!
Your hair looks beautiful and it looks curlier than normal with this technique!!
Loved this! I definitely have better results if I wet down and apply/re-apply mousse and gel on day 2 (I don't use one of the misting bottles though, just a kind of praying hands thing to spread the water through). Also I find it's better for me if my roots are that bit dryer before I start styling - cuts down on drying time as well!
This looks like my refresh method! But I found that just getting water in my hands, smoothing it over my hair and scrunching the water into my hair works better than the spray bottle. I get a TON of frizz if I refresh with the infinity spray bottle.
I never thought about putting product during my refresh though. Think I may try it!
I feel like another problem curly vloggers should address in their videos is how all that scrunching and looking in the mirror while bent over is giving you forhead wrinkles. Seriously, I have to specifically control my face expression while styling and it's not easy 😑
There's a thing, called frownies that you can buy. Or put a silicone stick on band aid on your forehead
@@KenziBabenzi omg thank you! I honestly didn't know there was a solution 😭
if I wake up with hair like this I wouldn't waste time styling it :D . Your hair is amazing
I really liked your results!! I actually "wash now, style later" a LOT.
Have you tried shingling? It's time consuming and similar to finger coiling but you don't have to twirl each piece. I'd love to see how it works on your waves! Maybe even twirl half of your head but don't twirl the other half to see if it makes a huge difference on waves? I'm a 3a-b, and don't bother twirling when I shingle to save time and get great results.
What is shingling?
@@sallywalker1073 Search shingling on UA-cam. It's hard to explain without a video, but it works so well!!
I must have missed something, because I cannot see a benefit in this when you invest time to spray your hair soaking wet and also have to let it dry down as you woukd if you had washed it 🤷🏼♀️
Yea I was only twice a week and either I'm doing a deep conditioning or protein treatment. With it sitting in the morning for 30min that's a big chunk of time. Plus I dont like sleeping with dirty hair but my hair is so wavy it falls if I sleep on it right after styling even if its dry
It enhances the curls, and works wonders for me!!! With more sensitive curls, water weighs it down a ton, and keeps them from flattening out.
It would work for me as someone who's chronically ill as 1. It splits the huge task into two. And 2. I usually feel pretty rubbish in the day so I never manage to get my hair washed until night time and it's either like 4am by time it's dry and I sleep, or I have to go to bed with wet plopped hair which isn't good 🙈 I'm gonna try this next time 🙂
Definitely not as great for those who have to rush and head out to work though! Unless you want to split the task in two and don't mind leaving with wet/damp hair 🤷🏻♀️
Seems this doesn’t make much difference to washing it the same day. You had to wet it enough that it seems it would have been shorter overall to wash it at the same time because of how wet you get it. Looks like a good technique for several days into the style.
Still trying to figure out how to control the curls traveling all over the world with different humidity and best products to take as I’m a flight attendant attempting this method...
pilotgal35 you should totally check out instagram.com/fitmama_flyaways?igshid=622p3vwycpbc
She is a flight attendant and been doing the curly girl method for a good while.
Also please keep in mind this is the first time I was trying this technique and it was just for fun.
Have you checked out FitKat Style's channel? She, too, is a flight attendant and has developed a great routine and has lots of info.
@pilotgal35 I do this but I don’t add as much water. I have super fine hair and don’t need as much water, plus I found if I don’t soak it all the way it doesn’t fall out. I think less water when styling is the trick for me. I love this method. It’s worth a try. Plus breaking up all the steps into two days feels more efficient for me.
Stephanie Flagg Hanley thanks!! My hair is all kinds of crazy. Curly, frizzy, wavy, straight. Hope it helps as I sit in a hotel room as I type this...😊
The longer I watch you the more I think I’m just here for your accent.
Your hair is beautiful. So healthy and shiny.
I use Aveda Confixer gel & then Living Proof no frizz Nourishing styling cream and scrunch / 50% diffuse & then I get in the car and the heater air dries the rest.
Thank you for this video. I am still trying to figure out my best time to get hair done and make sure I get a work out in everyday or so. And I hate air drying so working out then washing trying to get to work on time has not been working.
For the amount of time it takes to wet hair with a spray bottle, why not just wash it? I don't think I understand the benefit of doing this method, but maybe I'm missing something?
I think it's just about convenience, some people prefer washing their hair at night, but it usually doesn't look as good if you also put the styling products in before you go to bed. This way you can just quickly wash your hair without worrying about how it looks, and style in the morning
Please be careful plopping overnight. I used to do this and developed severe scalp irritation from covering my hair and letting it “air dry” in the plop. There wasn’t enough air circulation. I’ve heard mild and mildew can start to grow on the hair follicle. Not sure if that’s what happened, but once I stopped plopping overnight it got better overtime.
Kerry Breton my hair was dry when I put the plop on and went to sleep as demonstrated in the video.
I'm not sure I understood the point of this. It seem like twice the work. Your hair looks AMAZING but would it not look like this if you had let your hair air dry for a little bit then styled?
It’s actually been shown that if you wring out your hair before conditioning your hair will be more moisturized
I don't know what it is about her but I love her videos and trust her judgment!
It turned out gorgeous!
Wow!!! Love these curls!!!! It looks curlier!!
Trying this tonight!!!! BTW have you tried the new the mane choice cheers collection???? OMGGG I have just used the conditioner and I loooove it!!! I'm not going back to the deva curl one ever!
Love this video I am totally going to try this!! Have you ever tried any of the LUS Love Ur Curls products? I recently tried them and although they don't smell pretty I got the best results I've ever gotten using these products.
Pro tip: shampooing once only gets rid of oils, dust and all the junk that our hair picks up in a day while shampooing at least twice helps to really clean your scalp. It's the second shampoo that cleans your hair and scalp.
Great results!!
Congratulations on 19k subs!!! 🍾🎊🎉
How about a fall/winter hair care tips/tricks video?
Peggy W You are the best! Thank you so much my friend! I love this idea, thank you again!
Ty ❤️ for this video!! It's a great idea to do this so that you don't have to do everything at once!! Your hair has an amazing bounce,,,with soft curls ❤️❤️❤️
First thing I noticed was your t-shirt. Love it!! 🙌✝️
Also your hair is amazing. I really enjoy watching your videos!
Thank you for this. Just starting out and I wash at night and style in the morning.
Please tell me what your water spray bottle is called and where it's from. I love it. Also, I'm so glad I came across your channel I'm currently binge watching all your videos and absorbing every hint, tip and trick so thank you for these videos.
Painted perfect it’s a flairisol bottle! I have it linked in my amazon shop in the description! (The link right under “all my favorite things”)
And I’m glad you are loving the videos!!! You are so sweetn
Isn’t this just like damp styling though? Serious question. I feel like adding water to my hair after it’s been slept on makes my hair feel different and greasy.
I get the same thing but usually only if I properly drench it like in the shower. I've noticed if I spray my hair damp to refresh it looks a bit greasy while it dries but once I scrunch (with an oil or serum on my hands to help with frizz) it looks a lot better. I'll probs always say this but like defs recommend the Verb Ghost Oil it's seriously amazing and not overly priced, it really lives up to the name Ghost Oil it just does it's job and disappears
Courtney, could you please talk about hair colouring and balayage ?
This is why everyone needs a spray bottle and not a mister. With a $1 spray bottle on deck you could have rewet your hair in half the time. I sometimes will do this a couple days after my wash day if I didn't have time to do anything but braid my hair after washing it.
I can set my *cheap* spray bottle to mist, stream, and anywhere in between. I rarely have it set to mist, but rather a fine spray. Misting it does nothing for me, except make my hand hurt from so much squeezing of the trigger.
Keep in mind this was my first time trying this. It was just for fun and I was playing around with a different technique. I’m sure there are better ways to do this. This was my first attempt. I’m so glad if you have done this in the past and it worked well for you! That it awesome! 🤗
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney yeah, you did very well! I really liked your results, it's just that I have definitely tried to mist my hair to damp before and have felt the hand cramps. If you try it again, would recommend a spray & mister combo. I use my spray to get my hair generally wet, and use the mist to even out the amount of water throughout my hair. I've notice that if I do this I can also go longer in between washes.
@@shakeaboot I get very good results with simply filling up the sink with water and using "prayer hands" to dampen my hair one section at a time. I like it because I can really feel when I've achieved "just right" wetness to reshape each section. When I use a sprayer, I invariably end up with a few soaking wet strands that take forever to dry and others that end up stringy and stretched out because they didn't get enough water, which in turn make my barely-there clumps all wonky. Also, my hair tends to "sponge up" and get puffy if I use a mist or spray. I feel the praying hands motion helps me smooth my hair and prevent frizz.
@@irairod5160 I think I'll try that!
How about a review of Mane Choice products? There are so many products.
Jill Fyksen oooooo I’ll put them on my to try list!
The pink lemonade mousse is awesome!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney That would be awesome. I have personally tried the Cheers supreme conditioner (made with beer) and Easy on the Curls shampoo and conditioner, Crystal Orchid biotin infused styling gel and the green apple kids leavin in conditioner. I really like them all so far but there are so so many other products.
and I love your videos by the way, forgot to say this. I am also wondering how much the OM affected your results? Will you try to re-incorporate this into your routine again?
@@veralimpens7600 I bet it smells amazing, too.
I've been doing this for several weeks and find it works great for me.
I've been doing this for a year and I love it! But my "styling" is more like refreshing. I dampen my hair really well and then use a light-weight product (usually a spray gel or very light foam) and scrunch it in. I find I get a good balance of volume and definition.
Thanks again Courtney, for another great tip video. You just used that one styler? I think I'm going to try that one. Is this technique considered damp styling? I was thinking the same thing, that wouldn't be easier to just rewet the hair in the tub? lol. Thank you for then link to the scarf.
Oh, & I never got raking in products was very effective either. Applying products with praying hands makes much more sense, a better coating I think.
You definitely got more volume! Love that shirt on you!!
Courtney I love watching your curly girl ideas!!! You are so pleasant to watch; you are beautiful and have great curls!! you should be so proud of yourself!! Hugs and curls from Brisbane , Australia
Oh my gosh, I know this wasn't at all the point of the video, but TWISTING the silk scarf in front of your head instead of tying is a game-changer for me!
I love the continuous spray bottle you used. Can you tell me which brand it is? I need to find a good one. Thanks!
Videos like this give me hope. My hair easily air dries like the "before" and my goal is something similar to the "after". I've always love curly hair but never realized it could be possible for me to get results like this until recently. I've just started my journey, but it's been fun so far!
Well, it looks curlier than usual. Interesting technique. It wouldn’t be wasteful of the stylers and many stylers are very wet anyways. I wonder if you used foam or mousse first then a bit of gel. You may not need the many pumps of gel?? Just an idea, your wavy-curls are similar to mine, might have to try this technique
How on earth do you touch your hair that much without it frizzing???
Wow! You got some great results!
I love your videos, I wish you gave us your reaction and your opinions about how your hair looks like (like you did on insta)
Awww thank you! And you are so right. I was kind of in shock at how good it looked and I needed a moment to process. Then I got really excited and shared my reaction on insta. But I love this idea of sharing my reaction here too!
She looks just like my husband's ex wife accept slightly less frizzy hair and I still love her videos. She is the best!!
If you wet it in the tub, wouldn’t it still take the same time to dry as when you’d wash it normally? The way you did it now just reminded me of damp styling.
Vera van de Ven that is very true! This was my first time trying this and I was just playing around with it!
I'd love to have heard what hiu actually thought about this routine. Did it work better than your usual routine - giving you better results. Alternatively, did you find it wasn't great and would recommend doing something else?
Thank you so much for sharing another way to wrap curls for sleeping 💤!
Hi Courtney.. could you plop whilst still wet and style in the morning? So basically I mean go to bed with wet hair and then style in the morning?
Your hair looks curly this way ! Love it!!
Can I come over and you just do my hair! Lol we can make a video on it. Lol DOING SOMEBODY ELSE CURL/WAVY HAIR😅. Mine turns out OOOOKAY, yours always looks amazing
Loved this vid! Might be my fav of yours! Great hair day!
At night I wash, condition, detangle, add product ( usually leave in conditioner, moose, gel in that order) then I plop overnight with a T-shirt. I wake up in the morning run my fingers through and go.
It's so interesting to see what works for different people. I think your hair dries a lot faster than mine: if I sleep in a plop, my hair is only half-dry and squished flat in the morning!
What is plopping? New to C G 😊
@@ImNewPJ It's wrapping your hair in a T-shirt or microfiber towel, instead of terrycloth. This helps reduce frizz a LOT! There are several different ways of plopping, and different points in your routine you can plop. For example: the classic plop for CG is to put in all your products and plop for 20 minutes, then clip, and diffuse or air dry. However, for some people, all that products bothers their scalp, so they plop shorter, or before products, or halfway through. I usually plop after applying leave-in and a little gel, sleep on it wet, then spritz with water in the morning and apply more gel or mousse.
Linden Peters Just saw your reply 😬 Thank you so much for answering my question! Usually I never get a reply, hence the long delay in saying thank you. I really appreciate the help. 💕👍
