    The curly girl method gave me hygral fatigue. It took months and a haircut to go back to normal. Before the curly girl method, I had never used a deep conditioner before and I didn't need to because my hair is very fine. Using moisturising dcs and only gentle shampoos ruined my hair. Also, the silicone I was using was helping to stop too much moisture from getting into my hair. That was taken away as well. CG method isn't for everyone

      I'm thinking about this too. I never did any deep conditioner or apply special products to my hair when I was a child/teenager and my curls were popping up, after almost 3 years on the CGM I got a severe damage on my scalp plus the horrible dandruff :/, I was around 3 months on treatment (special shampoos for that), I'm ok now after 6 months but I have to use shampoos with sulfates cause those gentle shampoos ruined my scalp. Now it's not itchy, not burning sensation and 0 dandruff. Even though my hair looks healthy, my curls did not come back to those more 3b I got when I was a child, I have more from 2b-3a and kinda loose pattern, I do not know if it's due to that, but now I'm reducing deep conditioning, I'm not putting oils on my hair and I'm avoiding products with shea butter/coconut oil or any heavy oil, I feel my hair tends to be more straight with all these super hidratation. I will see the progress, but I'm happy my scalp is ok now :)
      My hair is fine too!

    Hey girl, great video but I did want to say that you CAN reverse this condition, I had this happen to me at the very beginning of my CG journey when my hair was virgin and it took me 3 months but I got my spirals back and no more gummy texture. Personally I just stopped washing it for like weeks at a time and any time I did wash it, I covered my hair in straight up EGG lol and had it sit for hours before I shampooed. I also made sure to diffuse my hair with some heat, because I found the quicker I got the moisture out, the more my curls recovered. Hopefully this will help someone else! I have 3c hair with high porosity :)

      ​@@palestar828 I didn't either in the beginning, and it took a while for me to realize that my hair had a gummy texture. While wet, if your hair seems to stay stuck together and is hard to separate into different parts (not tangled, just sticking together), it probably has a gummy texture. If you touch it and it feels very soft and light in weight, almost as if it isn't even hair, this could be a sign as well.

    • @palestar828
      @palestar828 Рік тому +5

      @@nourhammouri3961 that's how my hair is. It sticks together like clumps, but only when wet. The weirdest thing is that I JUST got out of the shower about two months ago and checked my phone and saw this... Maybe it's a sign lol. But my hair hasn't been sticking together too much lately. Since I've been starting this whole moisture/protein thing, it's literally been falling out like crazy. More than it ever has. I mean huge balls of hair are coming out in the shower. You would think after taking care of it, it would be acting and getting better, but I sware when I was doing nothing to it, but washing and conditioning with whatever products, it wasn't falling out like this. Weird. Tonight I just took a normal shower- no masks, no treatments... Didn't pay attention to anything in the ingredients list. Seems like the more I take care of it, the worse it gets and seems to act. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Your videos are literally the best. For years I’ve been completely re-wetting and conditioning my hair in the shower every day because that’s what I learned from the curly girl handbook. I got exactly one year of amazing curls by doing that, and then since then I’ve lost almost all my curl pattern, had weird puffy frizz, breakage, and crazy loss of density. Here I’ve been desperately trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my hair and I think this video finally answered it for me....

    Gonna go scream in happiness now. I have naturally high porosity hair which can easily get over moisturized and start falling apart. After finally transitioning back to my natural hair, I learned the hard way that without anything my hair would rapidly dry, frizz, tangle and break. Throw in a lot of YT videos that don’t really show HP routines, a lot of glycerine or heavy moisture products, or not too much info to explain the issue and my hair had to go through horrible phases. Until today. Bravo girl 👏! I’ve had to learn some of these things the hard way. Pre pooing oil treatment for hp thin hair girls. It’ll change you. I’m barely learning the need to include protein and sealants. Butters and thicker oils huuuuuge no no’s for styling This has got to be one of the most thorough videos explaining porosity and a routine that can help HP thin hair. I’ve been on this journey for 4 years and I am barely scratching the surface. I’m gonna have to do a decent trim as some recent products have had their way and a lot of snappage has occurred. Product understanding and usage has just been the hardest part to manage. A million thank you’s. Me and my best friend always talk about your videos. She can relate more to your seester’s long thick hair where as I can relate to yours. All the love from LA ❤️.

    I'm a guy with pretty short hair, although now I have a reason to grow it out with everything going on 😂however this channel has literally SAVED my hair. I legitimately used to just have frizz, and now I have spirals. THANK YOU MELL. However, I'm still not sure why the curls in the front of my head are so much nicer than the ones in the middle and back, I give my whole head the same consideration, and nothing, not even finger coiling will get these curls to spiral like the ones in the front! It's so frustrating especially considering it used to be my front end that had the most damage. Edit: I’m only referring to the top of my head as I keep my sides short/shaved. When I say back of my head, I’m referring to the back top!

All the steps and products are overwhelming but I will figure it out. Her hair gets tangled and fluffs up so easily. But now I have some ideas to try.

    I'm literally learning so much from your videos! During this quarentine I was thinking to find different ways to bring life back to my hair. Even considering making a big chop (which I have never really considered before... as I've always wanted to keep my length despite the damage flat ironing has done throughout my years) I'm considering it now as I want a fresh start. It was SUCH a blessing to come across this video as a few days ago my hair started looking and feeling super stringy, dry, and frizzy and I didn't know why at the time. I now think I was over moisturizing for sure!!! Thank you so much for being so helpful and entertaining as well

    Damn, girl. Always so informative, but haven't fully grasped these concepts yet. Looks like I need to binge your videos again to try and understand what my hair needs! My hair is fine, curly, and I have an oily scalp. I don't wash every day, but I do run my hair under water everyday because I haven't mastered sleeping with curls. Not experiencing any of these symptoms (only when I used to use some Shea Moisture lines) but I'm almost 3 years into my transition and I want to protect this old hair!

    Not sure if you are reading this, but must get this of my chest.
    Okay, so I have binge watched for the last 4 days most of your videos, I mean REALLY BINGING, soaking up your wisdom! Even rewatching several videos multiple times.
    Yesterday I have purchased multiple new products (new and good shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in, gel, cream, brush, bonnet, scalp massage brush) because you just gave me hope for my hair again!
    Years ago (±5 years?) I wanted to do de CG routine, but I feel so much more confident using your tips!! When I started CG I got pretty decent results. I mean I did not follow ALL the rules but for instance, for the past 5 years I think I brushed my hair maybe 10 times, and used shampoo maybe twice a year? But now for the last ±3 years my hair looks tired, flat and FRIZZY. For the last 2 years I have only used morrocanoil conditioner and cream (I was tired of the CG rules and just gave up and wanted to use 2 products, yes with silicones) I just gave up.
    But I guess I just want to thank you, so much. I am going to start my journey again, with loads of confidents, hope and patience. The last couple of days you made me laugh, sigh and love my hair again. Please know you and your work (and your seesters work!!) here is appreciated and valued!
    Starting tomorrow to properly wash and nourish my hairs, and begin the endless retraining my curls.
