    That handbook was written nearly a decade ago and the landscape of products (low-poos especially) and ingredients has changed a lot since then. Lorraine herself has even changed some of her opinions since she published it. Still lots of fantastic advise, and a great foundation, but certainly not gospel.
    Additionally, Lorraine Massey separated from the Devacurl brand and Devachan salons many years ago so they don't strictly follow her method anymore even though she was integral in the foundation of both. She now has a different salon she runs and a new line of simplified curly hair and grey hair products.

    I went to a Deva Salon wanting a Diva cut. As she looked at my hair she said I would have to come back becuase I was using the "not allowed" products. I kind of felt insulted. She told me the products I couldn't use for a couple of days after she already scheduled the appointment. One of those ingredients was Creams/Butters. I thought to myself "Do you know what my hair would look like if I didn't use creams or butter?"..... I did not make the appointment, and my hairs doing just fine. 😏

    • @dianeespinoza8647

      Shannon Nicole sw they want your curls to be natural because waxes weigh them down and change the pattern or elongate them and it will interfere with the haircut because they cut each curl dry. It wasn’t an insult , she definitely should have explained why.

    • @mandyinseattle

      I got a horrible Devs curl cut at the beginning of March and when I let her know with photos why I was unhappy, she told me I would need to wait a month and let it grow out before she would "happily" fix it "for you." I liked the "for you" part in addition to the happily part. She also said I asked you to come in with second day hair and I feel like saying b**** I didn't have time to wash my hair and get it just so, I came in with it looking like it usually looks. I call that a deflection. Anyway, I said I'm not living with this hair for a month! and I started fixing it myself and then I asked for a refund and I'm still waiting. Deva my arse

Trying to follow that book is almost impossible. There just isn't enough information in it. You will go bankrupt trying to find the right products. Everyone's hair is different & needs different things. I'm still having so much trouble figuring out my own. I thought I was doing great & sticking to the CGM pretty good just to find out I was unintentionally breaking so many rules. It's time consuming & expensive and unfortunately I'm having more bad hair days than good. It's an everyday struggle not to just completely shave my head. Seriously. Then out of the blue I have a good hair day and it's absolutely perfect. I'm telling you, the struggle is real. Anyway, thank you so much for this video you actually just clarified many things for me.

It was because of you, I committed to weekly deep conditioning and it really made a difference in my hair as I transitioned. Like you, I do not follow the CGM strictly (I love a good sulfate cleanser once a month.) But I do try to avoid all the other ingredients mentioned here including petroleum(mineral oil) and petroleum by-products like the isoparaffin NYM uses in their curl cream. I was so disappointed with NYM when they released a line of products dedicated to curls with ingredients many curly girls try to avoid. They listened to us and reformulated the mousse. Here's hoping they will one day reformulate the curl cream. Thank you for your wonderful content! You are the best!!!

    Hey, Bianca Renee! Thanks for this great video! I’m a newbie CG & am just starting my journey. I read the CG Handbook and loved the info about curl types and techniques. However, it did seem kind of strict with a LOT of do’s & don’ts. I’m 65 and have always been kind of a rebel. I truly cannot commit to NEVER having my hair blown dry straight again. I was sort of feeling like a bad CG until I saw your videos and several with similar content. Hair should be fun, a way to self-express and not a stressor. That being said, there are things to make hair more healthy which is a win/win without giving up everything and putting your hair in a convent. Thanks again & I’ll be watching you as I walk down the Swirly Road to the Land of Curlz. 💋

      For initial transitioning it is great but it really depends on your curl type. I could see a difference in my hair for the better following CGM. My first forays of non-sulfate or non-silicone was DevaCurl and unfortunately it did not agree with my hair, I started shedding more than usual so I stop and had a big chop. From then on I still continued with CGM and my hair started growing healthier however all these good products has started giving me build-up. I have decided to take few tips from CGM but that's it, I used stylers, gel, curling cream and combing my curls. I'm 1 and half year into transitioning and I decided to use water-soluble silicone shampoo for proper scalp cleansing.

    I Love you Bianca Renee because you're so adorable, honest and FUNNY! Loved your expose on the DevaCurl contradictions--adorably and always with humor (like the song, "just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down!"). The takeaway for me with this video is that although I won't get the book, I WILL continue watching Bianca Renee videos because I learn so much about the "curly girl" method, trust your knowledgable opinion and can always get a good laugh while I'm learning all that good information on how to get the most popping' curls! Thank YOU and keep up the GREAT WORK! Ms. ECstreet :)

    The video was hilarious. I read the Curly Girl Handbook three years ago when I was transitioning, I needed all the help I could get. But I do not follow the Curly Girl Method. I learned a lot from the book and took what I thought was the best suggestions for me. I also got a lot of info my UA-cam influencers such as yourself, whom I have been watching for at least two years. You added for me what the book couldn't. Thank you BianceRenee!

  • @theMermaidRhonda

    Back before I did the research on how to grow my hair, I was washing it almost every day and usually using Pantene. I had this one patch of hair that always felt almost sticky and just weird. I didn't realize then that it was wax buildup! I honestly thought there was something wrong with me! After I learned about all the bad things to avoid and really started taking care of my hair, that buildup went away pretty quickly. If not for YT and channels like yours, I'd probably still be washing and blow drying, then flatironing every day. Seriously, you girls saved my hair!

      It’s not really. If I recall you co-washed and then used a gel. It was pretty easy. It’s been years since I wore my hair curly and today I watch all these “new” curlies and I can’t believe the amount of products they put in their hair! 😳

  • @mayramartinez...777
    @mayramartinez...777 5 років тому

    Gurl, you broke it down, LOVE IT! I so understand your method of thinking. My thing from how you break down why silicones are bad as to opposed to the wax and the other stuff mentioned from the book, is that silicone need a harsh shampoo with sulfates to wash out as opposed to the other ingredients that sound like they wash out without the harshness and that's why you or anybody else who follow your advice (like me), prob never experienced build up and its in a few of the creators products. Just saying 🤷🏽‍♀️ Imma get the book cause like you, it sounds like Ive been following a healthy journey before devouring all your videos but reading this will add where I maybe lacking. Thank you 🙋🏽‍♀️

  • @anapace1221
    @anapace1221 5 років тому +1

    Thank you so much for this! I'm in my 2nd week of following the CGM, and to be honest I was a little overwhelmed with all the "rules", particularly about colouring, considering that my highlights are something I'm not willing to part with. I now know that I'll just have to give my hair some extra TLC and speak to my stylist about how to be more gentle with his foiling technique. Considering I washed, conditioned and then pulled it up in a bun 24/7, I'm pretty sure I'll see some great results anyway. Thanks again!

    I absolutely LOATHE Deva Curl products. Well, my HAIR loathes Deva Curl. Those products damn near destroyed my hair. Im protein sensitive and the Deva Curl line is LOADED with protein.
    C13-14 isoparaffin is not recommended because its a petroleum product. If you are not using sulfates, its difficult to cleanse it away because its not water soluble. It needs a surfactant to break it down. Same thing for all waxes. They are not water soluble.

    Thank you Bianca! You're one of the few curly hair gurus who still gets "sciencey" with product ingredients and I appreciate it. I'm a geek so porosity, product ph balance strip testing, etc., was my thing. I've also done alot of research, made DIY's, watched UA-cam videos, read books, my introducion was The Science of Black Hair by Audrey Davis Sivasothy, participate in forums and Facebook groups and on and on. I've never read Lorraine Massey's book either and am guilty of playing in the sulfate and silicone ponds every now and again because I know what I'm doing. I agree with you that books and information available are guides, not the Bible. You owe me nothing, keep doing what you're doing. You have a great spirit and I enjoy your content. 👍🏽

    Excellent Advice!!! I am just now really digging in and figuring out how to get the best of my curls. I was not born curly, but as the years have passed and children birthed, I somehow got the curls - and some of the info is too much and overwhelming, I LOVE your take on it - exactly how I feel. People ask me if I follow it, and and I just have to say - ‘No, but I have learned so much from the concept, method, advice from others. I basically take away what I’m willing to do and do the things that work for my hair. It’s a great jump off point.’

    Love it Bianca! Great video and so clear! I do the same thing. Modified Curly Girl. My hair doesn't like sulfate or silicone, but doesn't like Deva either! Too much protein and not enough moisture. I try lots of different stuff and stick with what I like. My wave spray has a silicone, but I only use it from time to time and it's great. If I iron my hair, I use 'cones and clarify after. Everyone has unique needs.

    First I will start with Bianca you are the 🐐 I will argue with anyone who says different! But will always respect them too! Lol I absolutely follow my own CG method which is “Don’t use products with Silicones, Parabens or Sulfates” as long as they are free of those I give them a try, I’ve just begun to look for wax and it’s been ok. I think that Your recommendations have all helped me achieve Bomb healthy curls! And I thank you!
    I’m an advocate for healthy hair overall so I take pride in feeding my curls good ingredients!
    Your videos are always so details and informative! My Curl 🐐! Keep doing what you do!
