video summary in case you’re in a rush before your shower 🥴: - style with your hair very wet: when your hair has frizz it needs more moisture, normal water adds moisture on top of products. your hair will stay in clumps and stick together better. - which products you use: very moisturising product (good leave in or good curl cream: medium hold), gel to hold the curls a lot better. for more definition don’t use mousse, gel provides more hold along with leave in. - after products distributed use a styling brush (most like to use denman brush but don’t need to!!). helps to even out product and clump the curls together. - after brushing with style brush you can finger coil (brush through hair once and twirl hair into a little twist sort of like a tornado). don’t have to do it to all since it takes a long time, you can do it on the most visible parts or most frizzy. go with your natural hair pattern, how to find out what that is, is by scrunching and see the way it rotates and finger coil that way. e.g inwards or outwards. - do NOT use a regular bath towel to dry your hair since the little hooks and stick up parts tend to get caught on curly hair. instead use a micro fibre towel or a cotton t-shirt. - using the t-shirt/towel scrunch up, but gentle don’t fully curve your hands over you hair and possibly disturb the curly pattern. you can use both hands and really encourage curl. don’t scrunch it dry. - use a diffuser (be careful about the heat and wind settings, much better when lower but it’s ok if it’s taking to long). when diffusing make sure not to be super aggressive and scrunch. dry away from your head first and just move the diffuser around to help lock in the curls. then go in to the roots once 85% dry and do this until 95% dry. don’t touch your hair while doing this and separate curls. - if you feel like your hairs crunchy then, you can leave this if you don’t mind, but you can scrunch out the crunch (lol) but DONT pull apart the curls. - make sure you get your split ends trimmed regularly (sooner or later depending on hair health) this can make you hair look a lot less healthy. when your curls stop holding definition at the end. lmk if you watched the video and i missed anything (i don’t think i did). stay curly. 😽
I swear no matter what I do, my hair never comes out curly from the crown area.. it’s always frizzy and dry.. and the hair dryer makes it worst .. your hair is beautiful by the way❤️
I struggled with this too, something that really helped for me was finger coiling that section of hair & applying extra gel to that area once I was finished(:
Finally found someone with the exact same curl patterns that I have as well! Mixture of 2c/3a with some straight/wavy pieces in the lower sections of my hair but so excited to see tips that are gonna work for me :)
My hair literally looks EXACTLY like yours when its wet but I have such a hard time getting it to consistently be like PROPERLY wavy/curly what the heckk. I've been doing a modified curly girl method for about a year now & I have had some really good wash day results but it's so rare, & I don't think I've ever had it turn out as curly & defined & voluminous as yours!!
Shelly Carol Pandey it’s annoying 😞 cuz if I scrunch my hair to high it gets oily at the roots and when I scrunch it where my curls start it still gets frizzy and stuff
Me too! No matter what I do, my curls do NOT form at the top of my head! They only start to curl when it hits my ears! 😩 and the back of my head had a TON of strands that don’t curl at all, so some days it looks like a terrible curling job! And I’ve been at the curly girl method for two years 🤔
I am almost 50 years old and I have heard of all the things you outlined but NOT how to incorporate them together! I watched this yesterday and my hair looks phenomenal today! THANK YOU!!!
It;s so good to see a youtuber with the same hair type and curl pattern as me. except my roots REFUSE to curl they're almost pin straight only slightly wavy but from my shoulder down are exactly like urs I've tried everything 😭😭😭
I have a similar hair type, but its nowhere near as gorgeous as yours. I'm still trying to recover my hairs from HEAT DAMAGE! 🤦♀️ But you're my new inspo to be patient and not give up. You got a new sub. 😁 Thanks!!
I'm so glad this video ended up on my feed. My hair seems very similar to yours...I think! I just started my natural curly hair journey this summer. My curl type is 2b/2c/3a. I have long, thick hair and used to have LOTS of it. I'm talking like Cousin It lots of it. Lol. But I was diagnosed with Grave's disease last year and since then, about half of it has fallen out. Weirdly enough, for most people, now I look like I have a normal amount of hair. That's my silver lining :) Anyway, I appreciate the way you're demonstrating your tips and tricks. Unlike a lot of other hair care UA-camrs, you not only show what you do, but explain why you do it! That makes a big difference!
Thank you! I've been watching a few videos this week that have all different tips. But I think your hair is the closest to mine. I always struggle with controlling the frizz.
You are absolute right with all of your tips!! I been on this journey as well and i learned alot from tik tok and IG lol .. you explained everything SOOOOO WELL!! Thank you! I love your hair 😍
Yes, I can't believe what a difference the Denman brush makes on my 2b/2c hair. Everything else staying the same, it really smooths out the hair and reduces wet frizz. Also, since my hair tends to be dry on top, I break the cast with a little hair oil on my hands.
styling when hair that wet weighs down my 2a and 2b sections so I add curl cream when theres just enough water to keep there from being frizz, then I tension brush with a wet brush. Then I microplop and apply hard hold gel but I think I will try diluting it, then I microplop again. With this I get more volume and its mainly influenced by manes by mell's video on how to style for volume. Which incidentally also improves definition especially for fine hair, or low porosity hair, and/or loose curls
Thank you so much for a straight forward and easy method! As a guy it’s hard to find good info and most women I’ve seen prior use a bunch of high dollar products lol their hair looks incredible but I don’t have the money or time to put like ten different things in my hair 😂 Edit: also big props on the tip to get more volume at the crown! My hair is huge but on top it’s always just flat and it gives my head a weird shape lol
Your hair looks awesome! So glad I found your channel, my hair is so similar to yours! Do you have any advice for dry/flaky scalp? I’d really appreciate any 😭
Thank you so much! There are a few scalp treatments im trying out because Im dealing with the same thing right now :( I'll let you know what I find that works for me soon!
Thanks for such a helpful video! I accidentally deleted my previous comment before realizing you replied! I just saw your response via email in which you said you brush beneath the hair, instead of above it, because it gives you volume. I have one more question... You mentioned you don't use oil because it weighs down the curls. However, you said that you do use oil to "refresh". What do you mean by "refresh"? Lastly, with your help I diffused my curls for the first time and they are soooo beautiful!!! I finally have voluminous, shiny, and frizz-free curls. I wish I could send you flowers! I found myself applying more products in-between drying because frizz began to form so maybe all add more initially next time. Now, I also understand why you initially worked in sections. My hair was falling flat at the crown because I just brushed it all together. However during the last 5-10% of drying, I lifted my roots with the diffuser as you suggested, scrunched, and finger-coiled by the crown as well. That did the trick! 💕
Hi Robin! So I meant I only use an oil when I refresh so only on day 2 or 3 when I just need to go over my hair again but I dont need to completely redo it :) Im so glad you found these tips helpful!! That makes me want to keep creating these kinds of videos!
Hey Marissa. I really love your channel. I'm so happy that I came across your channel because you really helped me embrace my curls!!! I look forward to more awesome videos from you.
Finger coiling does not work for my hair. After washing it my hair looks amazing but through the day my hair gets frizzy and I have to tame it again with a spray, cream and oil and gel. Why? I love your videos! And sorry for my bad english
hi! Does you hair have any heat or color damage that youre transitioning from? there could be a lot of reasons for this so if you can tell me about your hair condition I can try to help!
@@marissa_lanae hi Marissa! No I have no heat or color damage. It is just hard to watch other girls with perfect curls but whatever I do it just won't work. It is really weird actually! It gets dry and frizzy very easy and it will 'stick together' at the roots. I always use a light hair spray, a leave in cream and I seal it with a gel. All natural products, no sulfates or anything. I have no protein overload, actually a great balance between moisture and protein. My hair is very easy weight down, so too much moisture sucks the life out of my hair hahah. Thank you very much for wanting to answer my question!
Do you live in humid climate? It might be the ingredients in your products. If you live in a warm or humid climate, you’ll be more prone to frizzy hair if the products you finish your styling with are high in humectants since they suck in the moisture from the air and cause the hair strands to swell, thus becoming frizzy. Humectants are ingredients like glycerin, honey, sodium lactate, propylene glycol, and others. Humectants aren’t necessarily bad. If you have dry hair then you’ll probably benefit from having humectants in your products since they’ll draw moisture in from your environment. But too much moisture if it’s already very humid outside can just cause frizz. Try to find products with emollients (sealing ingredients that keep moisture locked in) like Shea butter or oils like jojoba or castor (castor is pretty heavy so I wouldn’t use it unless you have thick or coarse hair)
You explained the steps so well, thank you so much! Your hair is gorgeous, I hope in time mine will look half as good. With love from a currently damaged curl pattern 💋
You have such pretty hair! My hair was that length, but I regret ever having a layer cut as it made my hair look shorter😭 and what coincidence. I have the exact same diffuser and use the same gel lol😂
woaaah this is like the second video i've seen of curly heads brushing their hair outside of the shower!! maybe i'll try it cause i never brush it unless im going to blow dry
I color my hair every four to five weeks at a salon just for curlies. The next time I wash I use olaplex 3, and I deep condition my hair every single week for 30 minutes. I don't have any problems from coloring. I did ask about bleaching though, and my stylist said that would be hell on my curl pattern, so I've left that alone.
thank you for explaining how to finger coil because everyone just says finger coil your hair and I'm like great but some of us don't know where are coils are going so how was i supposed to do that so thank you for explaining!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! I’ve been lost for the longest time and I’m so happy that I’ve found your videos x what are some ways you would tie or wear your hair?
so happy we are hair twins... have you ever tried the garnier frutis curl treats shaping jelly ? it’s curly girl friendly!!! please let me know your thoughts on it.. or maybe try it out and see if you like it. it’s a jelly but i don’t use too much since i don’t want it to weigh down my hair!
I love your videos!! I have similar hair as well but not as thick so i always had trouble getting volume and definition. My hair is thin but i have a lot of it so i guess it makes it thick? Lol idk .. I just purchased a diffuser which i can not wait to use since I’ve never used one before!! 💗
loved this video 💛 question: do you have an oily scalp?? I have such a hard time following most curly girls’ suggestions because they tend to have very dry hair and scalps & can last many days without washing, however my scalp is extremely oily and I don’t know how to work with it!! Lmk if you have any tips :)
Dry shampoo works well. I like to apply a day before I think my hair will become oily. This way the oily scalp just doesnt occur. Also if your hair gets oily fast another great way to get the benefits of bouncy fresh clean curls is obvious but wash your hair when needed. I recommend you apply a healthy oil to the ends and mid shaft of your hair before you shampoo, as to provide some protection from over washing to mid shaft and ends. I also recommend you focus your scrubbing and shampoo to scalp only. The suds will work their way down and remove oil gently on it's own. Also If you can go longer between shampoos with styling to hide a greasy day or two, try it. Sometimes our scalp makes up for our over washing by becoming oily. It begins to produce too much of a otherwise good thing sebum. You might be able to slow this production down by giving your scalp a break. With this practice your scalp will realize you are not going to strip it that it doesnt need to protect itself, and wont need to produce as much, and will slow down. Also this info is from a professional hair stylist, I hope this helps.
Dry shampoo does def help! I use natural baby powder too basically anything that can "soak up" the oil. It could also be a sign that youre washing your hair a little too frequently and causing your scalp to over produce oil. How often do you wash? :)
Agreed. When I first started NOT washing my hair so frequently, it would get greasy pretty soon after washing. But eventually my hair stopped overproducing oils, (I also think it helps to use a clarifying shampoo every few wash days) and now I can go about 5 days without an oily scalp.
Can you please show how you do the entire top area. Thats what I struggle with styling and it coming out right and for some reason a lot of videos skip over when styling the top lol
You’re video is very helpful thank you! Could I ask you what you do with your hair the next days after you styled it before the next wash day? Do you sleep with a wrap?
whenever its a wash day, does anyone just like watch a bunch of these vids before they shower?
that’s exactly what i’m doing lol
I'm doing that rn lmao
YESSS
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HAHA
yes
That moment when her before hair on the thumbnail is my hair on good days 😂
SAME
I thought I'm the only one😹😹
same
Mine too!
SAME HAHAHA

You have the prettiest curly hair i’ve ever seen! Its color, length, thickness, shape, definition & shine! Goals omg 🤧

try getting a deva cut or layers for curly hair. the weight on the top of the head is so heavy bc the hair is the longest there.
Nice video and explanation. I'm a guy with long hair and similar type of hair and frizz is a huge problem for me. I subscribed!
Finally someone with my hair type 🙏🏻 please do a wash day routine ❤️
I finally decided to stop arraigning my hair and to go natural and I’m new to loving my curly hair 😍 your videos are a life saver thank you 🙏🏼
Freeing your hair, huh? 😉😀

You remind me of Mariah Carey in the 90s
Oh wow thank you!!
Thank you for these tips! I have frizzy curls 😩 I’m gonna try this when I wash my hair 😅
OMG because of your review, I bought the Denman brush and used it for the first time today. One word: amazing!! Who knew?!
Yayyy!! So glad you liked it!
You’re so pretty and your hair is on point 🙌🏻

Finally someone with my hair texture, right between 2C and 3A.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love it! Do you have any favorite up dos since it’s summer and hot I’d love some ideas 😍
quick question when u dyed/bleached your hair did it damage your hair at all and pls make a video abt that topic : ]
Thanks. Gorgeous hair! How do you scrunch the crunch? Can you show how you do that without messing up your curls? Thanks!
I color my hair every four to five weeks at a salon just for curlies. The next time I wash I use olaplex 3, and I deep condition my hair every single week for 30 minutes. I don't have any problems from coloring. I did ask about bleaching though, and my stylist said that would be hell on my curl pattern, so I've left that alone.
Finally! The video I've been searching for! Thank you so much ♥️
your hair is my goals💞💞
Thank you for this, I needed it!! Also your hair is so gorgeous wow! 💗
thank you for explaining how to finger coil because everyone just says finger coil your hair and I'm like great but some of us don't know where are coils are going so how was i supposed to do that so thank you for explaining!!!!!!!!
God...those curls! 😍
Thank you so much!! I’ve been lost for the longest time and I’m so happy that I’ve found your videos x what are some ways you would tie or wear your hair?
I either just throw it up in a high pony, wear it halfway up, or have it in a bun. I dont have a ton of other styles lol
Marissa Lanae hahaha alrighty! Thank you 💓
so happy we are hair twins... have you ever tried the garnier frutis curl treats shaping jelly ? it’s curly girl friendly!!! please let me know your thoughts on it.. or maybe try it out and see if you like it. it’s a jelly but i don’t use too much since i don’t want it to weigh down my hair!
I was hoping to learn something new &I did so TY✌🏽
Yay glad you did!
I get total 90's Mariah Carey vibes with your hair 🤩😍
Loved it.... fabulous work dear❤
nice video it helped me! thank you!!
I love your videos!! I have similar hair as well but not as thick so i always had trouble getting volume and definition. My hair is thin but i have a lot of it so i guess it makes it thick? Lol idk .. I just purchased a diffuser which i can not wait to use since I’ve never used one before!! 💗
Hey Marissa! Your hair's so gorgeous !!! Can you tell me if your hair colour is natural ? Thxxxx
Thank you! And no its not, I have very dark brown hair (almost looks black) so I have a medium brown base and a few highlights :)
loved this video 💛 question: do you have an oily scalp?? I have such a hard time following most curly girls’ suggestions because they tend to have very dry hair and scalps & can last many days without washing, however my scalp is extremely oily and I don’t know how to work with it!! Lmk if you have any tips :)
Dry shampoo works well. I like to apply a day before I think my hair will become oily. This way the oily scalp just doesnt occur. Also if your hair gets oily fast another great way to get the benefits of bouncy fresh clean curls is obvious but wash your hair when needed. I recommend you apply a healthy oil to the ends and mid shaft of your hair before you shampoo, as to provide some protection from over washing to mid shaft and ends. I also recommend you focus your scrubbing and shampoo to scalp only. The suds will work their way down and remove oil gently on it's own. Also If you can go longer between shampoos with styling to hide a greasy day or two, try it. Sometimes our scalp makes up for our over washing by becoming oily. It begins to produce too much of a otherwise good thing sebum. You might be able to slow this production down by giving your scalp a break. With this practice your scalp will realize you are not going to strip it that it doesnt need to protect itself, and wont need to produce as much, and will slow down.
Also this info is from a professional hair stylist, I hope this helps.
Dry shampoo does def help! I use natural baby powder too basically anything that can "soak up" the oil. It could also be a sign that youre washing your hair a little too frequently and causing your scalp to over produce oil. How often do you wash? :)
Agreed. When I first started NOT washing my hair so frequently, it would get greasy pretty soon after washing. But eventually my hair stopped overproducing oils, (I also think it helps to use a clarifying shampoo every few wash days) and now I can go about 5 days without an oily scalp.
omg I love your hair color! if you don't mind may you tell me the name of it please?
This morning before work, I woke up like 6 :30 I did laundry and washed my hair feels great nice and clean
Can you please show how you do the entire top area. Thats what I struggle with styling and it coming out right and for some reason a lot of videos skip over when styling the top lol
You’re video is very helpful thank you! Could I ask you what you do with your hair the next days after you styled it before the next wash day? Do you sleep with a wrap?
Do a video about homemade hair mask pleaseee
