This was so helpful! Your curls are absolutely STUNNING! I started my curly journey this year after 16 years of relaxing and keratin treatments so half of my hair is straight from damage and the other half is my virgin boricua curls. Videos like this help me SO MUCH! I also love manes by mel. I would love to see more curly routines 🥰
Its because they dontmention when they notice it if u notice ur hair dont look good 3/4 days agter u washed ur hair i guess uts just normal ! It means ure a human being having activities haha it just dries out get frizzier ! So if she means she notices it js’ust agter washin yeah i get it.. it cant be perfert everyday ...
I'm a guy, after so many wrong advices and practices I finaly stumbled upon your channel. And I've never this satisfied in a long long time. You brought another level of confidence and happiness in life. Thank you.
@Gal Pal thank you i wanna ask a question but i don't know if you will know the answer should i cut my hair short or all the way off to make it curlier
I've been seeing a lot of curly haired people showing or talking about Mel. I'm so glad she's getting the recognition she deserves as I feel she's really transformed my hair care routine for the better! I also have to say I've stumbled upon your videos many times and I love them, it's really great watching someone like us (Not hairstylists or professionals) talking about these difficult concepts. PS: Your hair looks wonderful 🖤
Sometimes i wish i was just born with straight hair, my hair is just so tough to deal with. The frizz and the straight parts in the back never go away but then the front looks good. Im kinda just lost
Aww I totally get you girl, I actually have straight-ish hair is a bit frizzy, I wishhh I had curly hair, it's so beautiful lolll. I used to get some curl in my hair, espec at the back but I think that was just because I wasn't conditioning the back of my hair properly and it kind of was scrunched by sitting on my neck and hood when it dried sooo ahahah. I need to find an actual curl gel though and perhaps do something about the protein since it snaps pretty easily. I'm using flaxseed gel and it just doesn't seem to hold much for me. Love your curly hair though it's absolutely beautiful, I know for a fact other people are thinking that heheh xxx
I always have those wavy ish parts in the back and u can always wet them after ur hair dries and just finger coil them (if u have any product, use it) and they should look just as cute as the rest of ur hair ❤
Baby me: Straight hair Toddler me: Ringlets Child me: Big curly/wavy hair Pre teen me: Frizzy straight hair I'm upset at whatever happened to my hair :((
to be fair, it may be damage but it may also be simply hormones. Example: As a child my hair was pin straight, 1A. As I reached puberty my hair became "puffy" and only saw its waves and some curls when I let it grow. Basically it can be damage, but it can also just be puberty making changes
If you think your hair is “frizzy straight hair” it’s just curly hair that doesn’t have enough moisture. Mine was the same until I learned how to take care of it. You need a LOT of leave in conditioner and a light gel and you’ll probably be all set.
I'm glad you figure things out. I love Manes by Mel also and have been following her. I'm still making all kinds of adjustments because I'm coming to realize that I have combination hair. Different types from the back to the front and some with different porosity, but im mostly high porosity all around...some hairs super moisture overload (lacking protein) while others look great. Luckily more look great than not, but finding the balance is a weekly project. I like the idea of having a styler with protien and am hearing that more. I used the shea moisture styler you recommended in the past, but I may have not done it right bc I didnt seem to like and used it for my son instead which it worked well for. I will need to revisit. Im learning a lot! Thanks for the video!!
To answer your queatuon: when you have high porosity hair its usually from heat(tools,sun), hair color/treatments, styling damage etc. That's why Mel said your hair is damaged but balanced in the chart. Also when you have true hygral fatigue the only way to fix is is to cut it off. So you were lucky that it wasn't completely overloaded and reversed it before it was to late. But it's so hard to tell what your hair needs and how much is enough sometimes. Ugh. great video
i’m so thankful for this video! this is EXACTLY what my hair NEEDED 😩 I literally watched your video, went & got the same product, used it this morning & my hair is already coming back to life! 🙌🏼 🥰
Ah this is so helpful, why is taking care of curly hair like science in high school lol. Anyway gonna look for some protein product next time I'm in a drug store (cause in my country Shea Moisture is sooo expensive), thank you for the video
Kiara Etsuko oh you don’t really have to use specific brands. Go to manes by mel’s video and she says which ingredients are good if you need protein. The only ingredient I can remember is keratin.
Do u guys have Hask there cause here it’s cheap and they have a Keratin line and a Biotin line that are good they also have tons of spray leave ins that are great!! I use the Keratin one daily..it makes my curls curlier! 👍🏾
I agree! Porosity is extremely important how you care for your hair and many people don't understand that. Even in the 80s hairdressers didn't recommend hair treatments based on porosity
I tried that elasticity test and the strand just broke and I barely stretched it. And all this time I was using protein because I thought that this is what I needed. I think you just saved my hair lol
jayme thanks for sharing your story! I definitely have been watching mel's videos too and she helped me out a lot as well. I realized how to take better of my hair through both of your and mel's videos on curly hair. I also have low porosity hair and I realized that I had too much moisture in my hair as well a while back and was able to make some adjustments. it's so helpful hearing someone else's story who has similar hair as me and similar issues and triumphs. tysm for sharing!
your curls are so stunning jayme! i love the shea moisture mask, it’s my favorite!! it’s also 3am but i couldn’t miss this video lol. thank you for all the work you put into your content🤍
I'm so thankful for this video! I have low porosity hair and apparently a moisture overload too. My curls right now just stretch and die. Also, my hair is super frizzy! (and other videos just told me it was because of lack of moisture) I now know that I need protein in my routine. Again, Thank you so much for these tips!
Ok, so I did a hydrating mask, and it made my hair super oily. I’m gonna try a protein mask because by the description, I have a moisture overload. I was thinking my frizzy and limp hair was because I didn’t have enough moisture. This video was very helpful thank you 🙏
my curls are actually just like yours but my roots looks almost straight and my hair has no volume at all and i have very thin hair ive lost sm in the last 2 years so it looks like my hair got less curly idk what to do my curls looks 2c now when I was younger it was 3a/b my hair cut is straight would it get better if i get layers? i feel like layers wouldn't look good on me because i don't have much hair
Hi my curls are similar in ways. I have straighter/ straight slightly wavy roots as well. I have also been loosing hair for the last couple of years so my hair looks thinner now. I have a fine texture of hair. Personally I find when I have more layers and bangs my hair has more volume, looks thicker and lays better. The curls also look better.
Such a HUGE help and I thank you so much! I follow Manes by Mell and she is one of my faves! I have low porosity hair as well and taking notes from YOU! Keep these videos coming girl! Xoxoxo
I'm confused, because my hair is pretty low porosity, it has literally no elasticity, but I still fit into the signs of over moisturized hair. So confusing 😭
Is it possible you could have your porosity wrong? I did! Lol. And I got moisture overload. Ugh. Finding the balance has been a see-saw! There's a test on naturallycurly.com/quiz
Coconut or any coconut derivative seems to be a huge problem for me. Worse is that virtually every product has it listed in the top 4 ingredients and many hair products have it listed as 2, 3, and 4. I don’t understand this coconut craze. It’s not the best for skin either but it’s in everything.
@Ammaarah Gardee I just cut nearly 4” off myself. I used Joico “moisture recovery” shampoo and conditioner 3 times, I am so mad at myself that I did it again and fell for the title and not the ingredients and the same happened to me. My curls also turned to a very dry, very dull 2 looking pattern. I was happy with Shea moisture low porosity line and they discontinued it 😢. I am having a very hard time finding replacements with no protein and no coconut.
I just want to chime in with the protein overload- make sure you do a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up of keratin/protein before starting the moisturizing treatments. It is more recommended to go to a salon for a clarifying treatment but if not kinky curly makes a gentle CG friendly clarifying shampoo. Curlsmith also has a clarifying line if you want more high end products. I've also read you can do an apple cider vinegar mix, but my concern is it is too acidic and will mess with scalp ph/dry your hair out completely
This was so helpful! I‘ve been using high moisture products for years now and i wondered why my hair became so flat and straight at the roots. I ordered the exact same products. To be honest i think my hair would look exactly like yours if the protein & moisture uptake would be balanced. I‘m looking forward to trying the new products 😍
my hair actually looks limp and lifeless just like how yours did before. i just recently bought a whole new hair care setup to add some protein into my hair while retaining some moisture. might give myself a month or two to test everything to see if my curls come back to life. thanks for the video!
Thank you so much!!! I am always so confused when I see people talking about the protein and moisture and no matter how man times I would read it I wouldn't understand it. This really helped me out!. Thank you😇
My hair is very protein sensitive! When I do my Shea moisture protein mask I have to also do my moisture mask by Mielle or Carols daughter to balance ! Same with products I have to do moisture|protein|moisture
I think I've got moisture overload. I used to really not take care of my hair at all, I never even conditioned, but a few months ago I switched to the CGM. With every wash I was getting better and better results, but then in the past month it's gone way down. My hair goes limp so quickly after I unplop, my roots are flat, and my curls are like non-existent. I tried a clarifying wash today and my hair does feel a lot better, but its still so flat and stretchy. I'm gonna get this product you recommended! I dont want to mess with my usual routine yet as it's been going really well for around 5 months, but I think doing a clarifying wash and a protein treatment like once a month should help keep me on top of it all!
I too have learned so much from Manes by Mell..... will have to switch things around for myself also.... have to balance mine out.... u explained it great also. Ty! Violet 🥰
Hi Jayme Jo,and all you curly girls! I Know I am SO, SO, Blessed to be a Curly Boy !!!!!! I have only found You this week , but I have already learned a lot , My hair tends to get "greasy" so quick ? So I do have to wash & style every day for it to be at it's Best! Any ideas? I DO Love your relaxed friendly style of your videos! And Your HAIR !!!!!!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!! Love You All , Curly Boy Simon, xxx
i think for you its best to see if you have a greasy or dry scalp. its simple for dry scalp you need more moisturizing products and for a more oily scalp you need more deep cleaning products, but it shouldn’t stop you from using moisture and protein. if you don’t use moisture and you only constantly use a clarifying wash your scalp is gonna produce oil so it can hydrate itself. i hope to have informed you a bit! :)
Also make sure you’re not using more product than necessary! My hair gets greasy faster if I put product too close to my roots or if I use more than one gel/mousse near my roots! There’s a lot of trial and error 😅
@@syouss3485 Hi,thanks for that,I do use a more deeper cleaning product - but I make sure not to over "dry out" and do use a conditioner -when needed. But I do find that if I use one product / manufacturer for a time my hair seems to "get used to it" -and then improves by using something by a different manufacturer for a time i.e. "Mix them up" a little? It seems to work ! I will try your advice and let you know, Love You, S. xxx
@@natalies4751 Hi, Yes Natalie, I think you have found part of the "problem" I must admit I do use more product than maybe I really need to ! Also I will be more careful not to get any too close to my roots ! Thanks, Love Ya, S. xxx
Thank you soooo much for the tips! I followed your advice and my hair has never looked so good!🥰 I had the same problem as you and I'm so glad I could fix it this way!
I watched multiple protein-moisture balance videos but never really fully understood it until I went through both protein overload and moisture overload, LOL. I think most people will be like that too where they'll only fully understand it once they go through both extremes. And then, it's good curly hair washday after good washday galore once you've understood your hair's needs!
Love this video. I finally found out what's wrong with my hair. I thought I had an protein overload but it is moisture If I maybe believe this video. I love easy explanations. Thank you so much! ❤
Im absolutely in love with your videos !! You have really helped me learn how to care for my curls.. thank you so much !! But do you have a tutorial for sleeping with curly hair ?
Super helpful, I didn’t know why my hair is crap (I figured that my hair just wasn’t very curly anymore?) it stretches to infinity and just lays limp. Time to add some protein!
For people who cannot get this masks bc it's not shipped to there country, it's expensive for them or they just want something 100% natural: Avocado, egg, honey and olive oil Bouncy juicy soft curls
It will hardly work. Proteins in products are hydrolized, meaning they have been broken down so that they can penetrate the cuticle, or sometimes are directly just aminoacids, even smaller. Neither simple egg or avocado will provide proteins that are small enough to do this.
I am not expert in chimistry. But I have tried it as a mask. My curls weren't defined and my hair was frizzy. I can say that my hair have never looked that perfect before. Even my colleagues (boys) noticed and were asking what did you do to your hair. I still have some parts of my hair that are straight because maybe they are damaged, but it definitely helped my curls. My mom was using egg for her hair and it was always shiny and healthy. Products may be better for all the reasons you told and I agree with you.
Your hair is amazing . I am doing the slow grow out now til next april 1st.. giving it a year to rest from using curly girl method for 5 years and my hair was a hot mess
I think my hair is what yours used to be (moisture overload?) my hair is weighed down and gets so messy easily and has not much volume. And it gets frizzy and it’s soft.
For the Dutch speaking followers: keratin collection from Kruidvat is 2 products for 4€, keratin gliss kurr is 2+2 and the hask protein shampoo and conditioner was 1+1 last week (some promotions are still up now) I tried this as I saw manes video and my hair is not fixed yet after 1 treatment but heck what a difference!
@@aleksandralempart8305 because it doesn't say so on the bottle? I haven't looked it up, but Europe has restrictions :) so most bottles only say 'vegan' explicitly when it's shipped and not produced here
@@sarahvanlersberghe323 vegan only means no animal ingredients. It has to has both on the bottle. L'Oréal as a company is one of the worst for animal testing. Cruelty free free means not tested on animals. Doesn't mean no animal ingredients as well. Really there should be something that means both imo
@@aleksandralempart8305 I know :) I was just wondering how you know, by the bottle or by looking it up. I just know Belgium is rather strict, and that that's why many famous American products can't be bought in stores here. Since 2005 it's banned to test cosmetic products on animals (ingredients and end product). So Belgian bottles don't mention 'cruelty free' as all bottles sold in stores (not online) are. Not all products have to be vegan, but Europe had strict restrictions on the ingredients. Unfortunately Not on nanoparticles (yet), causing immense harm, f.e. In sunscreens
Mine is so crazy. Like it stretches to infinity but it doesn’t fall off but it doesn’t come back either. (Only if I pull two singular strands will it break.) But I know I need some protein in my hair 😭. I’ve only been using moisturizing products because my hair looks dull. It’s definitely time for protein treatments.
I used to have really really curly hair when I was a kid. Since I’ve been a teen, it slowly started to get less and less curly. Now I’m 23 to and it’s wavy on most days and on my best days I have low defined curls / a loose pattern. It’s so frustrating. I also have short hair so i feel like using the de man brush correctly is hard. I also use a curly hair cream after shower and a hair gel. I basically scrunch my hair with each products after washing my hair. Sometimes I diffuse but it doesn’t change much thing apart from volume. And I’ve never suffered from heat damage on my hair. It’s just really sad and depressing idk what to do🥺
i’ve gone through a ton of hair changes in my 14 years and personally i think your hair type is changing which is totally normal. there’s a possibility of your curls coming back so for now keep using sulfate and silicon free shampoos and conditioners and keep taking care of it as you usually do
Hi, Jayme Jo , and all You Girl's out there in " Curly World " - Your Channel Jayme Jo , is absolutely Amazing ! It's a " Curly Community " - within UA-cam , I only found and subscribed 2 weeks ago But I have seen a BIG improvement with My Hair , I have had good advice from comments - and Your videos are a Great Resource - So...... I now have a new 'dryer/diffuser , Denman D3 , and more suitable products - and NOW know how to use them ! Thankyou ALL Love You - Simon. xxx - Your " Curly Boy "
Ugh I always have like three curls in the back that are like 3a when the rest of my hair 3c so you can imagine how crazy it looks. I usually use Bobby pins to make it look shorter but it’s so annoying
I’ve been using Hask Keratin shampoo which has great protein and I use their Argon Oil line conditioner which is pretty moisturizing and so far so good. I also like L’Oréal ElVive protein recharge leave in. I really wanna get more body and curl at my roots cause the roots mostly around the front are limp and I hate that and I know it wasn’t always like this.

Protein and moisture is always so important for me!
ur hair is stunning!!
Do you know any products for 2c/3a hair
@Gal Pal thank you i wanna ask a question but i don't know if you will know the answer should i cut my hair short or all the way off to make it curlier

Sometimes i wish i was just born with straight hair, my hair is just so tough to deal with. The frizz and the straight parts in the back never go away but then the front looks good. Im kinda just lost

No offense but Mell nailed it with that video but you nailed it at explaining it so simply!❤️
Im glad!
Baby me: Straight hair
Toddler me: Ringlets
Child me: Big curly/wavy hair

Probably damage
to be fair, it may be damage but it may also be simply hormones. Example: As a child my hair was pin straight, 1A. As I reached puberty my hair became "puffy" and only saw its waves and some curls when I let it grow. Basically it can be damage, but it can also just be puberty making changes
Hormones, it’s their fault
I heard where ever there is frizz, there are curls. Try the CGM to see of you can revive curls/waves
If you think your hair is “frizzy straight hair” it’s just curly hair that doesn’t have enough moisture. Mine was the same until I learned how to take care of it. You need a LOT of leave in conditioner and a light gel and you’ll probably be all set.

Yayy u and mell are my favorite curly heads!! 💖
this is the video i didnt know i needed!! thank you so much, my hair (and me) has been suffering
porosity has to do with the hair cuticle- the outer layer of the hair strand not the folicle which is where your hair grows out from.
I love that you mentioned Mell!!! She is very helpful
Great video ! Keeping a balance of both is so good for your hair to look it’s best !!! 💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕

You read my mind.... i'm just now questioning what do to.... protein or moisture. Perfect timing!!
I just want to chime in with the protein overload- make sure you do a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up of keratin/protein before starting the moisturizing treatments. It is more recommended to go to a salon for a clarifying treatment but if not kinky curly makes a gentle CG friendly clarifying shampoo. Curlsmith also has a clarifying line if you want more high end products. I've also read you can do an apple cider vinegar mix, but my concern is it is too acidic and will mess with scalp ph/dry your hair out completely
Been waiting for this!! Your hair looks stunning 😍😍 definitely gonna try this out!
thanks!!!!
me realizing I messed up the balance in my hair after being too lazy to repurchase this protein infused product
👁👄👁
This was so helpful! I‘ve been using high moisture products for years now and i wondered why my hair became so flat and straight at the roots. I ordered the exact same products. To be honest i think my hair would look exactly like yours if the protein & moisture uptake would be balanced. I‘m looking forward to trying the new products 😍
the shea moisture jamaican black castor oil mask is also good for balancing protein and moisture in your hair
my hair actually looks limp and lifeless just like how yours did before. i just recently bought a whole new hair care setup to add some protein into my hair while retaining some moisture. might give myself a month or two to test everything to see if my curls come back to life. thanks for the video!
Thank you so much!!! I am always so confused when I see people talking about the protein and moisture and no matter how man times I would read it I wouldn't understand it. This really helped me out!. Thank you😇
Thank you for the explanation.
When different people explain the same topic, they do it a little differently, and from a unique perspective.
eyes been opened
let's go shopping!!!!
thanks jayme
Your hair is the healthy version of my hair so I subscribed.thanks for the advice.
Your channel made me accept my nature,Although I am an Arab, our society does not accept curly poetry at all..thanks u are Amazing🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
True. I'm also arab and it's getting kind of more acceptable where i live so I'm transitioning my hair which have a lot of heat damage :(
My hair is very protein sensitive! When I do my Shea moisture protein mask I have to also do my moisture mask by Mielle or Carols daughter to balance ! Same with products I have to do moisture|protein|moisture
loveeee your vids! You're so informative and your hair is gorggg
Omg I’ve literally been having the same problem as you with my hair! Thank you so much for this video🙏🏼❤️ So helpful! xx
I would trust Jayme with my life. If she told me to put dirt in my hair I would
Mell is just the best ❤️
I think I've got moisture overload. I used to really not take care of my hair at all, I never even conditioned, but a few months ago I switched to the CGM. With every wash I was getting better and better results, but then in the past month it's gone way down. My hair goes limp so quickly after I unplop, my roots are flat, and my curls are like non-existent. I tried a clarifying wash today and my hair does feel a lot better, but its still so flat and stretchy. I'm gonna get this product you recommended! I dont want to mess with my usual routine yet as it's been going really well for around 5 months, but I think doing a clarifying wash and a protein treatment like once a month should help keep me on top of it all!
You hair is a goal❤❤
Early early earlyyy!! Love you Jayme 😇 from Brisbane
Last week I started wondering if I needed protien & started using tiny bits because I was terrified of it too GREAT TIMING
I started using the product she mention : )) glad to see another UA-cam recommend it.
I too have learned so much from Manes by Mell..... will have to switch things around for myself also.... have to balance mine out.... u explained it great also. Ty! Violet 🥰
Hi Jayme Jo,and all you curly girls! I Know I am SO, SO, Blessed to be a Curly Boy !!!!!!
I have only found You this week , but I have already learned a lot ,
My hair tends to get "greasy" so quick ? So I do have to wash & style every day for it to be at it's Best!
Any ideas? I DO Love your relaxed friendly style of your videos!
And Your HAIR !!!!!!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!!
Love You All , Curly Boy Simon, xxx
i think for you its best to see if you have a greasy or dry scalp.
its simple for dry scalp you need more moisturizing products and for a more oily scalp you need more deep cleaning products, but it shouldn’t stop you from using moisture and protein.
if you don’t use moisture and you only constantly use a clarifying wash your scalp is gonna produce oil so it can hydrate itself. i hope to have informed you a bit! :)
Also make sure you’re not using more product than necessary! My hair gets greasy faster if I put product too close to my roots or if I use more than one gel/mousse near my roots! There’s a lot of trial and error 😅
@@syouss3485 Hi,thanks for that,I do use a more deeper cleaning product - but I make sure
not to over "dry out" and do use a conditioner -when needed. But I do find that if I use
one product / manufacturer for a time my hair seems to "get used to it" -and then improves by using something by a different manufacturer for a time i.e. "Mix them up"
a little? It seems to work ! I will try your advice and let you know, Love You, S. xxx
@@natalies4751 Hi, Yes Natalie, I think you have found part of the "problem" I must admit
I do use more product than maybe I really need to !
Also I will be more careful not to get any too close to my roots ! Thanks, Love Ya, S. xxx
Definitely don't have to be washing every day
BINGO!! Just the information I needed!!
I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what my hair needs so I'm really grateful I came across your vid. New sub!! ❤️
I LOVE that mask! I just got it not sure if I needed protein or moisture and it was the perfect balance
Thank you soooo much for the tips! I followed your advice and my hair has never looked so good!🥰 I had the same problem as you and I'm so glad I could fix it this way!
This video came out at the perfect time I was struggling with this! Thanks so much 🥰
I watched multiple protein-moisture balance videos but never really fully understood it until I went through both protein overload and moisture overload, LOL. I think most people will be like that too where they'll only fully understand it once they go through both extremes. And then, it's good curly hair washday after good washday galore once you've understood your hair's needs!
I forgot you live in Australia so that’s why this was posted at 2 am
I fixed my curl pattern with a big chop I kid you not. I have type 4 hair now
its 3am in ny, i have class at 10am lol but i must watch ur vidssss🥺🥺🤍🤍🤍🤍
I totally needed this video! Your hair looks great by the way☺❤
Thank you so much for your videos they helped me so much ,my hair is so beautiful because of you ,keep going !! 🥺💜💜💜💜
Love this video. I finally found out what's wrong with my hair. I thought I had an protein overload but it is moisture If I maybe believe this video. I love easy explanations. Thank you so much! ❤
Omg!!! That’s probably why my hair has been acting out, I stopped protein products for years now 🥵
What protein products do you recommend
This was the most helpful video out here!! I love how you explained it.
I tried to stretch my hair and it just snapped off lmao
Im absolutely in love with your videos !! You have really helped me learn how to care for my curls.. thank you so much !!
But do you have a tutorial for sleeping with curly hair ?
Super helpful, I didn’t know why my hair is crap (I figured that my hair just wasn’t very curly anymore?) it stretches to infinity and just lays limp. Time to add some protein!
Omg my hair is back! Thank you!
This is so helpful! I believe I might have a moisture overload so I’m investing in a protein mask treatment
For people who cannot get this masks bc it's not shipped to there country, it's expensive for them or they just want something 100% natural:
Avocado, egg, honey and olive oil
Bouncy juicy soft curls
It will hardly work. Proteins in products are hydrolized, meaning they have been broken down so that they can penetrate the cuticle, or sometimes are directly just aminoacids, even smaller. Neither simple egg or avocado will provide proteins that are small enough to do this.
I am not expert in chimistry. But I have tried it as a mask. My curls weren't defined and my hair was frizzy. I can say that my hair have never looked that perfect before. Even my colleagues (boys) noticed and were asking what did you do to your hair. I still have some parts of my hair that are straight because maybe they are damaged, but it definitely helped my curls.
My mom was using egg for her hair and it was always shiny and healthy.
Products may be better for all the reasons you told and I agree with you.
@@flaviopons142 bullshit. What do you think your ancestors did before they had products
Your hair is amazing . I am doing the slow grow out now til next april 1st.. giving it a year to rest from using curly girl method for 5 years and my hair was a hot mess
Wow thanks so much you explained it so perfectly
I think my hair is what yours used to be (moisture overload?) my hair is weighed down and gets so messy easily and has not much volume. And it gets frizzy and it’s soft.
Your hair is what mine was like until my mid 20s, except red. Trying to get it back.
For the Dutch speaking followers: keratin collection from Kruidvat is 2 products for 4€, keratin gliss kurr is 2+2 and the hask protein shampoo and conditioner was 1+1 last week (some promotions are still up now)
I tried this as I saw manes video and my hair is not fixed yet after 1 treatment but heck what a difference!
They're not vegan or cruelty free 😢
@@aleksandralempart8305 because it doesn't say so on the bottle? I haven't looked it up, but Europe has restrictions :) so most bottles only say 'vegan' explicitly when it's shipped and not produced here
@@sarahvanlersberghe323 vegan only means no animal ingredients. It has to has both on the bottle. L'Oréal as a company is one of the worst for animal testing.
Cruelty free free means not tested on animals. Doesn't mean no animal ingredients as well.
Really there should be something that means both imo
@@aleksandralempart8305 I know :) I was just wondering how you know, by the bottle or by looking it up. I just know Belgium is rather strict, and that that's why many famous American products can't be bought in stores here. Since 2005 it's banned to test cosmetic products on animals (ingredients and end product). So Belgian bottles don't mention 'cruelty free' as all bottles sold in stores (not online) are. Not all products have to be vegan, but Europe had strict restrictions on the ingredients. Unfortunately Not on nanoparticles (yet), causing immense harm, f.e. In sunscreens
Your hair looks incredible 😍
Mine is so crazy. Like it stretches to infinity but it doesn’t fall off but it doesn’t come back either. (Only if I pull two singular strands will it break.) But I know I need some protein in my hair 😭. I’ve only been using moisturizing products because my hair looks dull. It’s definitely time for protein treatments.
man this girls hair is amazing.
She’s an amazing UA-camr and so underrated 🥺 I love your channel ❤️❤️
psst 🌸🤗 just wondering if you would ever try a bonnet dryer attachment , vs diffusing video 🤗❣️i love your vids btw
I used to have really really curly hair when I was a kid. Since I’ve been a teen, it slowly started to get less and less curly. Now I’m 23 to and it’s wavy on most days and on my best days I have low defined curls / a loose pattern. It’s so frustrating. I also have short hair so i feel like using the de man brush correctly is hard. I also use a curly hair cream after shower and a hair gel. I basically scrunch my hair with each products after washing my hair. Sometimes I diffuse but it doesn’t change much thing apart from volume. And I’ve never suffered from heat damage on my hair. It’s just really sad and depressing idk what to do🥺
i’ve gone through a ton of hair changes in my 14 years and personally i think your hair type is changing which is totally normal. there’s a possibility of your curls coming back so for now keep using sulfate and silicon free shampoos and conditioners and keep taking care of it as you usually do
You are a god send ! Thank you so much !
Finding Jayme jo this week go's to prove one thing, We are ALL truly BLESSED !
Love You ! , Love You ALL, out there in " Curly World " Simon. xxx
Hi, Jayme Jo , and all You Girl's out there in " Curly World " - Your Channel Jayme Jo , is absolutely
Amazing ! It's a " Curly Community " - within UA-cam , I only found and subscribed 2 weeks ago
But I have seen a BIG improvement with My Hair , I have had good advice from comments - and
Your videos are a Great Resource - So...... I now have a new 'dryer/diffuser , Denman D3 , and more
suitable products - and NOW know how to use them !
Thankyou ALL Love You - Simon. xxx - Your " Curly Boy "
Ugh I always have like three curls in the back that are like 3a when the rest of my hair 3c so you can imagine how crazy it looks. I usually use Bobby pins to make it look shorter but it’s so annoying
😂 same!! I've tried to finger coil it but it still ends up stretching and being longer than the rest of my curls
I’ve been using Hask Keratin shampoo which has great protein and I use their Argon Oil line conditioner which is pretty moisturizing and so far so good. I also like L’Oréal ElVive protein recharge leave in. I really wanna get more body and curl at my roots cause the roots mostly around the front are limp and I hate that and I know it wasn’t always like this.
Sadly they test on animals and they kill them after the tests are done and animals are deemed useless. Mainly bunnies and beagles. Look into it.
I just don't know what to do with my hair anymore. I give up.
Try out new products !
