I was just researching this brand - perfecting timing!!
ive been eyeing flora and curl for weeks. It looks amazing...and i come home to this video. My brain went FLORA AND CURLLLLLL YAAAASSSSSS
I have 3b-4a hair but your videos relax me sooo much, I always fall asleep to them because they are just so soothing. Thank you! :)
Great advice on leaving crunch in! I tend to do this also on really windy days or rainy ones 😊
I’ve seen so many of you videos that i’m starting to watch some of the older ones, and to be honest I think this is the best one. my hair is so similar to yours, it’s just medium coarse and dense, but low porosity and exactly the same colour and different curl pattern all over the head, so this video has been very helpful. thank you so much for being scienci.!!!
Brilliant! You are one smart cookie!
I just got my haircare towel & brush and love it!!! Thank u for the recommendation!!!
Love this wash day for you!! I'm seeing some major curls on you this day! LOVE*
My hair is just like yours!! Thank you for doing these videos😁😁👍👍👍👍
Oooh, your hair looks really good today.
Hi Courtney! As a believer, I really appreciate your boldness in wearing all the shirts you do! They all have such great messages on them. I also appreciate your curly hair tips too. 😉
Love your channel and you are great. Have you ever done a review on the raw curls line?
It looks really natural! I love it! I don’t have the conditioner but I saw the shampoo today & plan on getting it tomorrow. I have the curl activating lotion and gel upstairs but haven’t tried it yet. Can’t wait to use everything! Thanks for the review💕
I am glad it helped! And thank you! Let me know how they work for you!
I have not used the shampoo and conditioner, but I love the hydrating mist and foam for my low porosity fine hair. It’s lightweight, it defines and bouncy. I’ve noticed that I don’t have to use as much product to refresh the next day.
I think this was one of the best wash days ive seen from your videos thus far. I 'm gonna try this product. thanks so much for all the info
Omg! I hope my hair transforms like hers did! I’m on day 1 of the CGM!
Belle Tatum how is it going now? :)
Your hair is looking lovely with these products! I am loving these brand reviews. I just ordered some Inahsi products with your coupon code and I am so excited to try them. I reeeeally need a good clarifying shampoo after overdoing it with the protein (at least, I think that is what it was. I did an egg shampoo and yogurt mask and all my products have protein. My hair is looking stringy, dull, and dry. And very sad☹) Now that you say you don't rake in gel, I'm wondering if raking could be contributing to the stringy quality, because I did that on my last 2 wash days! You are a treasure trove of hair info and an absolute blessing. I am learning so much! Thank you😊
marisadaniela6 I just did too. But now she using a different product. So I wondering if she still likes the Inahsi? I hope it works well. Her hair looks so shiny and easy to comb out. My hair is always filled with knots.
So now Im sure that I need glycerinfree products haha. This happens to me all the time! Thank you so much!!
I also use a claw clip to fix the back where it’s split weirdly during the diffusing process (not a cowlick per se)! I can’t root clip very well either! 😂 After drying I will look at the roots and see if there are any weird parts that need to be claw clipped into submission. I’ve been looking at the Flora & Curl curl cream/lotion and gel, would you say they are lightweight?
Could you make a video on tangles and hair sticking together. My hair constantly stick together when dry, even slightly when newly brushed. And if I touch it to much in the shower after having detangled it it tangles again. I have thought about to much protein but I only have protein in my gel but I don't always use it.
So I bought the lotion and gel and my hair was so frizzy. It was soft and moisturized though. I was just felt like I styled it wrong. Even though my hair is curlier then yours this video helped me sooo much and showed me what I did wrong. So thank you for this video. Your hair looks flawless, very shiny and gorgeous 🙌🏼🌹🌹🌹
is it lightweight? that's always my main concern, I also have it curlier than her.
It is so you need to put quite a bit for a good hold about 4 to 5 pumps depending on thickness
@@baconmetra I forgot to put I have thin hair and that's why I was asking about being lightweight, cause my hair weighs down easily, I usually use just 1-2 pump for my entire hair (about till my low back)+ gel, cause I like volume :D, but there are products that even with just 1-2 pumps meh, my hair gets 0 volume.
Thanks for the reply!
I use Flora Curl since 3 weeks now and on day 2, you can use the floral Jasmine mist to refresh, it is amazing (as their african oil) m. I use too their New foam after gel for volume. My curls are coming back. Everybody ask me what I have done lately because my hair are more beautuful now :-)
Have you tried herbal essences totally twisted mousse/gel? I’d love to see a tutorial with this. I’m still trying to figure out what works for me.. I started CGM in June, had my baby girl in July so haven’t had much time to experiment and find the best routine (fast because crying, clingy baby!🙃) or products for me.
For some reason, my hair has been the opposite since the cold front hit Dallas. My hair has been more cooperative with the cold, even with glycerin. It curls more, holds its shape and there's less frizz. I honestly don't know what it is about my hair that it prefers the cold and lower dew points over the warmth and higher dew points of summer. In fact, your day two hair in this video was pretty much my day two hair all summer no matter what products I used. Crazy how different each person's hair will react to weather and products even if their hair seems similar.
I feel the same way! Now that's it colder and drier here in Washington my waves have been much better behaved! More definition and less frizz with less product. I don't know why it's doing that but I'm happy about it! 🤷♀️
You are the curl whisperer
Thank you 🙏🏼
I love these videos!! I have another brand I'd love for u to try & that is CurlMix!!! They have different scents/main ingredient that u can choose for yourself! I have the Vanilla Berry Scent for Strength!! Thank u!!!
Low dew points over here in the panhandle have been killin' me even with glycerin free products! Thanks for the tips!!
That and my extremely dry hands frizzin my hair 🤣the struggle is real!!
Courtney, I know this is an older video, but I was wondering if you've ever thought to do a video on balancing humectants with emollients.
I've dont tons of research on the subject, and it seems it would really help some ppl when trying to use products containing glycerin in less than optimal dew points...
Hello, my name is Randi, and I have a product addiction, BUUUT not everyone does. So some people actually dont have a wide range to choose from...
Would love to know your thoughts on glycerin and emollients. .
Nice to hear you like them!
I thought you would 😁
I have been SO curious about the conditioner and now that it’s Courtney approved...
I’m definitely going to try it in the future! The curl cream seems interesting too 🌼
How do you get so much shine in your hair? Is it because you leave so much water in it? Or do you use something else? Love your hair!
Thank you for talking about wet frizz! I have a question is this a routine you can do in the shower?
I suspect you’re not getting a really hard gel cast most of the time because of the amount of water you leave in your hair. It’s obviously working for you so this isn’t a criticism, but in my experience, the wetter my hair is when the gel goes in, the less gel cast I end up with.
Shaye Eller same
I actually love all of these products. but even when I layer their gel, I dont get a good cast from it... lately, I've been using a small layer of Biosilk rock hard gelee over it... I had some really good results with this yesterday..
Sometimes that can be true, however I always leave my hair soaking wet and I also don't get as good as a cast with some different brands. Keeping the hair really wet keeps it moisturized and helps with clumping , especially for those with hair more on the wavy side.Im sure someone with a much curlier hair pattern doesnt have those those issues.
Jess E there are definitely some gels that will just not leave a good cast no matter what!
That makes sense. I had never thought of that.
Does the curl activating lotion contain glycerine/humectants? 💗
Hi Courtney, I've been doing CGM for about 4 months now, been trying different products, mostly based on your reviews. But when I let my hair dry with the product in it my hair looks really stringy and tangled, am I doing something wrong?
Any chance youll do a version of this brand in your new format?
If I put style products on in the shower before I plop, I do not get a cast or any hold.
How long do you have to wait until the hair has settled? I have the feeling that it takes forever -.-
Which brand would you recommend from The Mane Choice or Flora & Curl? For wavy hair I mean, 2B-2C.
I bought the shampoo and conditioner when Ulta had it half off. I’m almost done with what I’m currently using. Can’t wait to use!!
Would recommend these products if you are starting your curly girl journey?
You clearly have more curls just after you dried your hair!! Wów :) It's just a pity that the next morning the extra curlpattern the brand created is gone. Are you familiar with Mixed Chicks redefining foam? By applying a bit on your hair the next morning which you diffuse dry for about 20 seconds, you immediately get back the curls without stiffness or weighed down hair. Same with Nivea Curl forming spray (last one has a sulfate halfway the ingredientlist, so a no-go for CG, but while it's just forming a film ON the hair instead of IN the hair it doesn't make hair dry at all)
What porosity are you please Courtney . Blessings love from christine
I’m a chronic scrunch-out-the-crunch-early person! How do you find the time to get it all good to go before heading out the door?
I don’t sotc until I’m at work.
Heck, sometimes I just run out the door with it in the cast! Haha no shame in my wavy/curly game!
Hey SCC!
I feel like any brand you use, your hair looks great! How long have you down cgm? Can you make a video about products that didn’t work or make a list?
Do you know where I can find a list of curly girl friendly Protein Heavy products? My hair loves protein but I don’t know what I ingredients I should look for. Thank you!
CeciliaF I do! I actually have a whole video on that My Favorite Products with Protein ua-cam.com/video/vffojsZw660/v-deo.html
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I have 2a, 2b, 2c and 3b next to my face. When my hair is wet it is veeeeery curly but when it's dry i don't have that definition. I have tried mousses and gels and still when my hair is dry my waves are not very defined but curls next to my face are super defined and shiny (i don't even apply any products there). Does anybody has the same problem??? Please HELP
maybe a protein treatment?
Yep! I have the same exact problem. Only 4 months into modified CGM, but I can't figure it out. My hair looks so wavy/curly and defined when wet but ends up falling flat a few hours later. Except for 3a ringlets right near my face. It's frustrating! My hair is shorter right now, so I'm hoping it improves over time as it grows out, or with the right product combo. Stay glue gel from Cantu works the best for a hard hold for me, but I don't love how crunchy/stringy it leaves my hair. Giving LUS a try currently and love it while wet/damp, and I'm left with big soft waves once it dries, with no crunch.
Can you try damp styling? Like waiting to put your gel in till a while out of shower and plop
Courtney I know you are so good with hair and types and porosity and all of that good stuff so I NEED HELP PLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEE.......I have medium porosity, medium density hair that has a 2c, 3a type of curl. I can't get my hair right. I have tried so much and have even watched so many videos. What kind of product do you think I should use? I am not really concerned about the brand, I am more concerned about, should I use mousse, gel, creams? Should I use thick conditioners, I don't know. Can you watch my curly girl method videos and advise me? Even though my curls look good when I am done, I know they can look better.
Hey lady! I took a look at a couple of your videos and I notice you are using the Aussie Moist line. Unfortunately, most of the Aussie line contains “cones,” or silicone-based ingredients. Silicones form a barrier around the hair shaft and prevent moisture from getting inside. They also can build up on your hair and weigh it down if you’re not using a clarifying shampoo (usually a sulfate shampoo). Most of us prefer not to use sulfate shampoos since they dry out our hair. I suspect you have heard this, as I saw you were co-washing - unfortunately if you co-wash with a silicone-containing product, the “cones” will quickly make your hair stringy, limp, dry, or otherwise disappointing. The thing to keep in mind is that it won’t always say “silicone” or “dimethicone” - for instance, cyclopentasiloxane is a cone that is in most of the Aussie products. You can find out if any ingredient is a cone by Googling it.
The Fructis Curl Treat line is all silicone-free (although none of the other Fructis products are), as are the Aussie Max Freeze gel, the Aussie Miracle Curls refresher, and the Aussie headstrong volume mousse. Other drugstore-priced products that are cone-free are the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk line (though again, not all Not Your Mother’s products are safe), and most of the Love Beauty Planet shampoos and conditioners. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, their Tea Tree Tingle shampoo and conditioner is amazing and cheap. Between those you should be able to find some affordable products that work for you!
I’d recommend that before you co-wash again, you do get one of the sulfate-free shampoos mentioned above and cleanse your hair a few times to get rid of the silicone build-up. Alternatively you could use a sulfate shampoo one last time. After that you should be good to co-wash most of the time, but do use the sulfate-free shampoo if you notice your hair starting to revert backwards.
What styling products will work will probably take some trial and error. I’d recommend starting with layering a gel on top of a curl cream or leave-in and see where it goes from there. Good luck!
@@shayelea Wow, thank you so so much for that interesting information. I guess I should do more research before I wash my hair again, today my hair is stuck to my head and looks greasy. It's crazy how all products are so different and they don't put in their ingredients what they actually are. I am going to do some research right now to find out more. Again I thank you so much for telling me I am doing this wrong. I didn't realize how stupid I can be lol.
Hi Courtney, did your hair turn pink from the product, or is it just something with the camera?
She was playing around with temporary hair dye
Hair is beautiful as always! I'm in Michigan so I think I'll WAIT to try this brand in the spring!!! Question for you...what is the reason you don't usually get a cast? Is it due to low porosity? High density? Both? Appreciate you so much, sister!❤
What weather app are you using? I’m having a hard time finding one that does.
Not sure what she’s using, but I have Naturally Curly’s Frizz Forecast bookmarked on my phone: www. naturallycurly. com/ frizz-forecast/ get-weather
I use Weather Underground and it has dew points listed. Looks similar to hers
It’s just the weather channel app. I use the same one.
Great wash day and great tips! I just wish there were more glycerin free products... it's such a temperamental ingredient! 😫
Thank you! And I know! I have noticed that I can use it more now being out of transition then when I first started. And if it is lower in the ingredient list it can be less temperamental for me.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney good to know! 👍
So I really don’t understand why brands put glycerin in their products so often when it’s a problematic ingredient. Does anyone know??
Sharon Peckham it’s only problematic if the dew points are too high or too low. At the right dew points glycerin is amazing for hydrating and plumping up the hair. Not everyone has a problem with glycerin even in low/high dew points, it depends on the hair. I tend to choose glycerin-free products during very high and very low dew points, but in between I want ALL THE GLYCERIN!! 😂
Yeah my hair hates anything without glycerin, so unfortunately there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. I do agree that it is frustrating if you’re trying to find something without glycerin, though, as it seems to be in more than half of products. I wish natural hair product companies would start marking the glycerin status on the label as clearly as they label things silicone- or sulfate-free. It would save a lot of people time and eye strain trying to read the tiny print on ingredients lists.
Is glycerin worse (in bad dew points) then other humectants?
Rebecka Johnfors yes, Glycerin is a short chain hume
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney okey thank you
Rebecka Johnfors so glycerin is a short chain humectant which makes it extremely efficient at moving water from the hair and giving it to the air. Most humectant just hold water close, but don’t rob it from the hair.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I thought I should avoid all humectants 😲
Hi:) i always try to wait til its all try and i think its dry and the cast is so hard and then i sotc and its wet :( its so annoying. Does anyone have got any ideas what to Do? Thx:)
Hi! Great question! I believe I shared this in one of my other videos but cannot find which video! I will make sure to share it in the next washday video I do.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney omg thx:-) i just found your Chanel and im watching all the videos :D maybe i didnt get to that Video yet. i love your videos u r so funny too :D
What have jou done with your hair in the Bach? Egt are They red?
I LOVE HOW BOLD U ARE WITH YOUR SHIRTS!! I am a believer too!! LOVE IT!

She was playing with temporary hair dye
