    Thank GOD for you!!! I have been struggling to figure out how to do my hair for years! I just couldn't seem to understand the process. It was always frizzy and unruly. I was so frustrated!!! I grew my hair out long after decades of really short hair so I could go curly and enjoy my natural curls but not getting the results I ALMOST chopped it all off. Until I saw your video and follow your instructions TO THE LETTER! I had a total revelation...an A-HA moment!!! I did it!!!! With your help I have soft beautiful curls!!!! Thank you....thank you!!!!!!!!-

I can see exactly why, now, and am about to try this method right now to see if it works better!

    This is AMAZING!!!! I have watched countless videos since my decision to start styling my hair naturally again earlier this year. My hair is fine and my curl pattern is pretty darn similar to yours. I have struggled with definition, frizz and volume at my crown, no matter which video I’m trying to follow… but THIS!!!!!! Omg!! Amazing stuff here. I have everything I’ve been missing and I feel like a million bucks. I have never styled my own hair and felt like I just left the salon, but I do today! 🙌🏼 I’m using Curl Talk currently and am absolutely switching to the Cake products once these are gone. THANK YOU soo much for making this video! 🤗

    Thank you for making this video! Super helpful for a beginner like me - I've always had wavy hair that I didn't know how to control. I essentially followed all of your steps (with similar product) and got the waves of a lifetime tonight! I was shocked the waves even came out as I've been drying my hair basically every time I wash for the past 2 years and my hair is very dry and dead. THANK YOU!!! 😊

    So I’m just going to say, you changed my whole wave/curl life. Used the products and the method and O. M. G. My hair usually shrinks up better with mousse than gel but I couldn’t find a mousse that was touchable or non drying that worked for me so I’d end up using gel sheerly for the end softness. I am obsessed with these products now. My hair is so soft today! Thank you!!!

    I can not thank you enough for this video! I chopped off about 6 inches of hair back in November 2022, determined to give up straightening and finally embrace my natural curls after 20 years of suppressing them. The problem is, even after watching hundreds of videos and trying dozens of products and techniques, I just couldn't get a good hair day. I followed your steps in this video (different products and swapping out the mousse for a gel because I didn't have a mousse handy) and while my hair doesn't look perfect, these are the best results I've had in the 3 months I've been curly! We have a very similar curl tightness, but mine is a bit coarser and low porosity. I think the major difference was HOW MUCH product to use. I thought you were crazy but I tried it with similar product ratios, and I am blown away with the definition I got. Also, your explanation of how you use the Denman brush was a game changer for me. Thank you!!! Will be following for more :)

  • @emkn1479
    @emkn1479 3 роки тому +1

    Beautiful results! I have a very similar curl pattern and after a year working at this I think I’m finally understanding what I’ve been doing wrong. I’ve always been so nervous to take a brush to my hair since I feel like since it isn’t a tight curl I’ll ruin it forever but I’ve seen you and so many others do it and get great results! I bought a Denman but have just been looking at it, nervous to try. Seeing you do it might have just been the push I needed, thanks!

    Hello! I just recently found your videos, and I'm so glad I did. You are, HANDS DOWN, the best at explaining how to use products for my curly hair! 👏🙌 I had very straight hair for most of my life (but always wanted curly hair). When I turned 40, my hair just started growing in curly! Like, really curly! I was so excited, but found out quickly that I had no idea how to care for it. I've been watching so many videos about curly hair. I think my hair is similar to yours, but a little thicker and curlier. I really appreciate all the details you include in your videos. I can't wait to watch more. Thanks so much for all of your effort. You are really helping me! 😁👍

    Another informative and entertaining video... so glad I found you! I tried the Denman brush/finger coiling (pretty much finger coiled my whole head) with this diffusing technique... just waiting to scrunch out the crunch. Can’t wait to see my results!!! So far... this is the best hair day I’ve had since starting 6 weeks ago even though still a little stringy. I now realize, after watching your coiling video for the thousandth time (okay 😉 maybe only 5 times), I coiled too small of strands for my texture.
    You mentioned that you’ve been transitioning for 7 months. I would love to see before pics!

    Ok, I just want you to know that I love you. Oh my gosh, I finally love my curls. I have been going CG since the first of the year, 8 months. I have had curls and waves, but never soft and bouncy. I finally found the LUS products and love the 3 step system, but the other items just didn’t work. But I still struggled with volume, mega frizz and lifeless looking curls, and no shine. I ordered the cake products you shared and after just using the curl friend my hair looks so much fully, less frizz and mega bounce. Can’t wait to see what will happen when the rest of the products get here. Thank you so much.

    Fantastic video! I use the cake curl cream and mousse, and I have the leave in, but I've haven't been using as much as you. I also have a Denman brush, but have never had success with it. My hair is very similar to yours, so I am going to try this EXACT routine and see how it works, next time I feel like spending that much time on my hair. Most of the time, I'm just a wash and go type, and will put it in clips while it drying for volume.
    I also usually find that making sure my hair is very wet when I put my products in (including mousse is very helpful). I don't have the final product in your lineup. I'm hoping a serum will do the trick. The only thing I didn't like was the music that came in at the end. It was extremely distracting from an otherwise fabulous and education video!

    I don't usually comment on stuff but you addressed so many problems that I've been dealing with in this video, I had to try it. I ordered all 4 products you used and followed this routing to a T (except squeezing out water before putting on the mousse, I forgot and I think it actually did impact how much hold I got) but holy heck!! My hair has never literally BOUNCED up and down when I walk! I've been doing cgm for over 2 years and im still struggling to find the right products and techniques. I felt a little weird putting silicones on my hair at first but man do they ever make dealing with curly hair easier 😂😭 I have fine 2c/3a hair and I think as long as I clarify regularly I'm going to keep using these products. Thank you so much, I've been struggling with my hair lately and this really helped me out! 💖

    I'm about to try this tonight. In decades I've not had a single product not give me helmet head. My hair is high porosity but my strands are extremely fine. Having curly hair with very fine strands is a major pain. Pretty much everything I put in my hair weighs it down and causes crunch. Don't have a diffuser so I hope air dry will work. Protein kills my hair. I can do a treatment maybe once every 6 weeks but no more than that or it gets brittle. Last night I tried Ion chelating shampoo for the first time followed by Aphogee 2 minute protein mask and so far so good

    Normally do the upside down courtneyswavy videos. Found yours, like the results you get but I think it will take practice. I could not separate hair as neatly as you did. So my curls weren't uniform. I had chunky and not so chunky. And some holes, front was wonky. But i see promise because there are some great curls!!!. It is all in the sectioning and not messing up one while trying to do the other. But definitely will try again. 🙂

    hello, I have just started my curly girl method and I have like 2a to 2b hair, i have the curl whip mousse but should i be using a cream before the mousse? like you used the curl friend and then the mouse but usually i just put in a leave in conditioner after washing my hair and then the mousse and dry, but my hair felt kind of frizzy, any tips? Thanks so much!

    • @TheFitCurls
      @TheFitCurls  4 роки тому +3

      Alexa Hernandez great question! If your hair feels dry, chances are it needs more moisture - hence why I always use a cream before a gel or mousse! I think taking the extra step to define with a cream will make a big positive difference for you :) keep me posted!

    I just got the OGX coconut mousse but I found it made my hair feel dirty. I was looking at the cake mousse however so I’ll give it a try! Also, I have 2b-3a hair and I’m always scared to use too much product because I’m scared it’ll weigh down my hair. I don’t have thing hair but I’m still scared. You said in your other den man video you have thinner hair, do you ever feel like your hair gets weighed down by the products or no?

    • @TheFitCurls
      @TheFitCurls  3 роки тому

      The key is making sure you apply the right amount of each product! Layering products won’t weigh your hair down as long as you go light with your moisturizing products. I’ve never had any issue with this method weighing my hair down :)

    I have used only a few products after I went clean hair from chemicals. So, my questions are: have you ever used LUS brands? I am afraid to use anything else...but I am interested in what you use to get the 'crap of product' out of your hair? you said so fast and I had never used it before and the only thing I have used is Neutragina but I'm sure that is too hard for our locks and color treated hair. BTW I love your hair and mine is the same type is yours, although I do get REALLY smaller coils under my upper locks.

    Do you use the Denman from the Amazon link in the description or did you get yours directly from denman website? I’m wanting to get one but want to make sure I get the one that will work and I read on a lot of the Amazon reviews for that specific denman that it’s fake, which makes me worry it won’t work if I get it.

      Thank you!! I wanted to update you as well! I started using Desert Essence Smoothing Shampoo and am loving it. It has chelating properties (ACV) as well as clarifying, AND it has protein and is color safe. Very affordable (about $11 on Amazon). And for anyone who sees this and wants a “crunchy” product, this shampoo fits the bill.
      I follow your routine in this video almost exactly, but I skip the Locksmith due to denatured alcohol being the first ingredient. But now I’m curious-did you ever find it dried your hair out if you used it too often?

      @TheFitCurls  3 роки тому

      Great question! It could very possibly work for your daughter. I’d suggest letting her hair air dry and maybe keeping the styling more simple - raking and scrunching instead of Denman brushing. With a 2-year-old, it’s best to keep it short and sweet!

    • @TheFitCurls
      @TheFitCurls  4 роки тому +2

      That is a fabulous question, and my answer is...I learned my Denman technique from Mell 😂 I have found that the vertical sections help encourage the right sized clumps to form and, with that little twist, also encourage that spiral curl pattern. I’ve done horizontal sectioning before and the results just weren’t consistent 🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @TheFitCurls

      Kamila Wright They’re not drying at all - part of why I love them! It took me a little while to figure out what worked best for me to preserve my style overnight - the bonnet works for me, but others prefer using a pineapple and/or a silk scarf! Maybe check the size of your bonnet - if it’s too small it might force your curls into a weird kinked shape. I’ve definitely discovered that with the right products and styling techniques, I need to refresh way less, so keep experimenting!
