- This video is about my Natural Curly Hair Journey. I am hoping that this video motivates you to start your own journey back to having healthy hair. My hair was completely fried & damaged for probably 10 years prior to starting the Curly Girl Method. Enjoy! I recently had a good question from a subscriber & to answer/clairify. The alcohols in conditioner mainly CETYL ALCOHOL are actually moisturising alcohols and are safe to use. Im going to post a link to a descriptive video below.

You look like 10 different people! WOW! That was fun! :) The current you is my absolute fav! :)
I would have never guessed you where a fitness weightlifting girl. So interesting to see the different sides of you. I enjoy your videos. They are simple and easy to follow and you get right to the point. The technical stuff like editing, sound could sometimes be better, but I'd rather have low quality sound than low quality content. Thank you for helping us curly girls.
Hey Julia!! Thanks for the feedback. I eventually will invest in a camera/mic/ & editing software but for now I just use my phone & iMovie .. sometimes she goes & sometimes she don’t go so well haha
Curly Susie most youtubers start out like this and as your channel grows, so will you and your equipment and skills. I just saw a makeup tutorial where someone recreated the first make up video ever uploaded to UA-cam and it was so fun to watch because there was no voiceover, just piano music, no instructions not even in text form and the lighting was horrible. Sometimes I forget how spoiled we are now-a-days with video quality. Anyway I thought you might enjoy this little story. Keep those curly videos coming and sending lots of encouragement and excitement for what is to be in the future.
I did enjoy that 💕💕thank you, now I’m going to search for that video lol
"Who does that!" Lol - so honest and funny.😂
When I used to straighten my hair, I was always nervous too! I always had to worry about rain or sweating too much. My hair was a constant source of stress for me. I realized how much this affected people's perception of me when one day in grade 6, my teacher conducted a class activity. We would all tape a piece of paper to our backs and write a compliment on each other's papers. When I looked at my paper, one girl had written "cares about her hair." I'm so glad I embrace my curls now. It takes the same amount of time and effort at home to style my hair, but once I'm done, I'm good to go.
Lovely too see your journey especially as I’m just starting the curly girl method! Excited to see what it will bring for me xx
Starting my CG journey finally!! Loving these videos!!!
Also you’re absolutely amazing!! You inspire me to continue in my curly hair Journey ❤️
Thank you for sharing your hair journey with us! I love seeing/hearing/reading about people’s lives and stories. You are gorgeous and your hair is #goals for this girl! And btw, your hubby is also quite the looker! You two make a beautiful couple! Blessings!
Loved it Susie - you cracked me up with that recap journey!
I’m just starting out, and one of my sweet followers on Instagram referred me to you. And I have to say, you are my number one favorite. First of all, your hair pattern (I think) is similar to what mine is, but really even more than that, you are a natural at these videos and you have a wealth of knowledge but such an effective way of delivering it, that I feel as though I am just chatting with a friend. I had also subscribed to a bunch of other people too, some of whom you have linked in this video, but you are in a league of your own. I enjoy them too, and definitely appreciate their beautiful hair, but you stand out completely. Thank you for sharing!
This is such an inspiration!!! You’re hair is amazing! It’s motivating me to finally accept my curly hair and try this method 💕💕💕💕
Ur hair looks AMAZING. I loved your wedding day hair style 😍
Thank you so much for this, literally all of it. Your hair and your family are gorgeous. I hope my hair loves my experimenting as much as yours did.
The fitness competition, WOW! Beautiful wedding photos, you have a sweet looking family Susie. Congratulations! I know I'm late to give you well wishing but it brought a smile to my face watching this video.
These transition videos are so encouraging.
You’ve given me hope! Seeing what your hair looked like just 3-4 months into the curly girl method blew me away and also made me relax about the time haha. Thank you!
Loving your videos! Working up the courage to dive in and use the curly girl method... eeekk!
Love seeing all your different yous. You've worked hard to get where you are. It's something to remember. There's no easy solution to getting what you want. Patience and hard work... work.
Oh my dear, thanks for sharing your story. Congratulations for sticking to the curly method 🤗😗. I am in my fist month following the curly method 😀 and I love it 🎉🎉🎉
This is honestly so inspiring! I've always gone back and forth trying to love my 2c hair... but I've I dye it so often and have heat styled it so much that the curls aren't even nice when I do keep it natural. I'm just a few weeks in to the curly girl method, and still figuring out my products. This is an awesome video to get more motivation to keep going!
P.s. You looked STUNNING on your wedding day, and you and your husband are both gorgeous!
Wow, so inspirational hearing your story! After years of straightening my hair, I decided to go natural and follow the Curly Girl Method too, just a couple of weeks ago. But with so many products/tips/tricks out there, I felt overwhelmed! I love the simplicity and straightforwardness of your videos - they've been such a great resource for me. Thanks Susie!
Love it! I too just found your channel. Loving the curly takes some time and is a journey, but is so worth it. Thanks for the tips on who to follow for wavy hair. I'm 100% going to check out this curly girl method. Your hair looks gorgeous :D
I’m 30 and now just starting this lifestyle! I hope it’s worth it all! Seeing your videos gives me hope!
You're SO MUCH MORE beautiful with your curls! I have exact the same hair as you do (just a bit darker). Exactly same experience during childhood with my mom brushing away all my curls and waves. I have straighten my hair until I was 28 when I moved to a tropical country (thank God!!) where it was impossible to keep it straight. I have been since then trying to fight the frizziness (but still loving my natural look) and ONLY TODAY did I find out about this method (UA-cam suggestion) and your very inspiring channel. Thank you very much. I'll be a faithful follower.
I decided a few days ago that I was going to stop straightening my hair and embrace my natural curls again, and I've just been BINGE watching your videos. You're super honest and real and you make me excited to have my curls back. Plus I legitimately can't get over how pretty you are!!
I love your videos, thanks for sharing! Excited to see your next year of the CGM and looking forward to seeing what products you like best (and also what you can get in Canada, because it’s a struggle to find the recommended products here)!
I'm excited! 2nd month on the Curly Girl Method and you helped me with your simplified version video. God bless you! Love from the Philippines.
Susie I love your story - I live far away from you but its YOU who helped me a lot with my curly hair which I really damaged myself :( I live in Poland and I do not have chance too many products you recommend but we have other once instead - thank you so much for you story and all your tutorials :) kisses and lot of hugs xxxx
Such a beautiful family!! God bless and thanks for sharing your journey! I am one month into my journey after straightening and putting keratin in for the past 10 years. I am wavy right now, but I actually like it, and I'm looking forward to getting my tight curls back. I appreciate you putting out all these videos. I purchased your favorite gel a couple of days ago (Biotera). OMG!! I love it! My hair looked sooo good yesterday (day 1) and looks good today after the refresh. Thanks again!
I just learned about the curly girl method a few days ago and just found your channel. Your story is so much like mine. I have had curly hair for ever but didn't even realize how curly it really was until I went and got it cut by someone new a couple weeks ago. It had to the best hair cut I have ever had. Since the cut I have LOVED my hair and than by complete accident learned about this method I am so excited to learn more great ways to embrace my curly hair. I am so tired of ALWAYS wearing my hair in a ponytail because I just don't have time to straighten it. Anyways all that to say I love your channel and you have been so inspirational to me.
Curly Susie. Congrats on the new addition that’s coming! Im a wavy and I have tried so many products and so many application processes and nothing seems to work. It seems to be wavier without product...I’m truly ready to give up.
It's so reassuring to see those old photos, thank you for sharing! I almost never straightened my hair (maybe 3 times in my entire life), but my mom / i also used to brush them until they were as close to straight as possible, + a couple of months ago i bleached all of it to death and then tried a different colour every couple of weeks, for a good half year. I'm in my first week of cgm now and dear god it's a long road ahead. But i'm excited to see what's coming!
Kate S I totally agree. I just started the cg method about 4 weeks ago and I have seen a drastic difference and I so excited to see what it will look like it 5 months from now.
You are so amazing. That was so helpful. Interesting to hear that you've only been doing this a couple years. I don't feel so alone when I see that people who I look up to, have gone through a lot of the same things I have.
I felt like I was watching myself in your hair journey... THANK YOU for posting this as motivation for me to go natural! Love your channel and your desire for simplicity and willingness to experiment with techniques that are more work but worth it for the extra special days!
Hi Kristen!! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️ & for the comment.
Thank you for this video. I’m about 2 weeks into my curly girl journey and it’s so overwhelming and I ah e had more downs than ups. This video reminds me that this journey is not a sprint, but a marathon. I just need go keep going and be patient. Thank you
You have such a beautiful family! And your hair is absolutely gorgeous 😍😍 goalsssss
Incredibly helpful! Thank you . I’m transitioning and I have 2c - 3a hair. I like your message to keep it simple and start with easy products and process....
You’re so honest and real. Subscribed 😊
Oh, curlfriend. Your natural curls are amazing! I’m only a week in, but we appear to have very similar hair and I’m so excited to see how my hair progresses through this journey! I haven’t used heat or sulfates on my hair in years, but I always pulled it back into a tight bun!
I am so thankful to you for sharing your journey. I have curly to wavy hair and I am from India so the weather is pretty humid and warm here which has damaged my hair so much and it is super frizzy and impossible to maintain. But I am going to try the curly girl method and I hope I find my curls just the way you did. More power to you. 🌻
its been soooooo helpful thank you very much! you're the only one closest to my hair type than the rest of the youtubers and encouraged me to carry on on my start of the curly journey. only started this month.
Thank you Yasmina! Good luck with your journey. Im so glad I did it.
I'm just starting my CG journey and I love your channel. I have a very similar curl type being between 2c and 3a and we're close in age, so you're very relatable for me :) I thought I lost my curls during my childhood as you mentioned then began dyeing and strightening my hair in high school. I often wanted to wear it down, but it was a frizzy disaster no matter what I did so for years I'd curl it with a curing iron if I wanted to look nice. Otherwise it was back in a bun *always*. I don't know how I came across videos on UA-cam about the CG method but they've consumed my life over the past week and I'm so excited to see what my curls are capable of. Thanks for the inspiration!
Susie you are so cute. Loved going through your childhood and adolescent pictures. Love you as well.
Hi Susie! I’m a new subscriber and I just wanted to say I’m so glad I found you! You’ve already helped me so much! You are so precious! I look forward to learning so much more from you!! 💜
I love love your hair!!! Thanks for sharing
Too cool, I’m from New Brunswick, great to find you!❤️❤️
Thanks Susie! You got a new subsriber... got me motivated to bring back those curls!
So inspiring, both this video but especially your tremendous journey, ambition, and dedication to yourself, goals, and family, let alone loving yourself in all your forms and season of life :)
I know this is an old video, but youre so encouraging and uplifting. Im definitely going to check out the cgm while i binge watch your videos lol ❤ from Cali
The Nova Scotian accent ❤️
Even if I liked other people's videos better (but I don't) I'd still watch Susie's to hear her accent, LOL.
I love love love your wedding day hair! I have naturally curly hair that I loved in my early twenties and then after a few babies, my hair thinned a little and I started flat ironing and now I am going back to curly and hoping the curls come back again like they were! I am about 2-3 weeks into my commitment of following the curly girl method and already I see noticeable difference and hope it just continues! My curls look great underneath and some of the over laying hair is almost straight so that’s awkward. I pull those pieces back a lot and am just trying to be patient. Your video is inspiring.
Oh my gosh we have the same curl pattern and almost the same exact journey with the hair brushing and the straightening and John Frieda. I am one month into cgm and I am so excited with what more is to come!
Loved this video. Thank you.
you were just fabulous with muscles training or baby bum, or teenage time or photoshoot, embracing your natural makes you radiant !
I don’t have curly hair but I like to watch your videos anyway! You are a natural in front of a camera so most of the videos you post are interesting to me. I like to watch a fellow Sydney girl becoming successful! Your little guy is almost the same age as mine Keep up the good work 👍🏻😀
Thank you so much Jill :)
Hi from Australia :)
Love your video's! I'm still in the awkward transition phase and my hair is only shoulder length, so it's a challenge but I'm determined to stick with it.
Your freckles are soooo cute!
Hey Susie, I love watching your videos. I am a month in to my CG hair journey and it is getting curlier but boy am I fighting frizz from all the heat damage I have done for the past 10+ years. Not loving it yet, but seeing this transition video is helping me to stay positive and to not give in to my curling iron and straightener. Thanks for all your videos Susie. Also love to see a fellow Canadian promoting healthy curly hair!
Hey Michelle!! Hang in there girl, it gets better & better I’d say in another month you will love your hair :) how often are you shampooing!??
Curly Susie hey i am cleaning my hair 2 to 3 times a week. Trying to cut it down to 1-2 times a week.
Michelle Turcotte me too. I’m cgm 2mths now. So much frizzy. I almost broke to straighten but ddnt. It’s hard not seeing smooth silky hair
I️ love your videos! Keep up the great work :)
Thank you so much Jennifer!
I just started! I had no idea how curly my hair actually is and every day it was getting better. Four days into the CG I went to have my hair trimmed. After I had totally discussed my goals to the stylist, she brushed out all of my curls🙁, I was gasping inside. I have delicate curls as well. I am so happy you posted a picture of your hair post “first trim” because that’s what my hair did today, even after co-washing. So it will get better, whew! Good to know. Thanks for the videos, I really appreciate them!
Torie McDonald hey there do have an update on your hair? I'm starting today and I am super curious
I completely felt the "who does that?" moment😅same experience, bleached my hair last year and immediately regreted it. Now I'm starting the CGM and it feels incredible! Thanks for sharing your experience Susie:)
You are amazing and super inspirational!!! I rarely leave comments on UA-cam, but I just wanted to share with you that you've inspired me to start working with and embracing my curly hair!! :D
Thank you so much Kayla!! There is a little trial & error in the beginning but it’s so worth it ❤️❤️❤️
I wore my hair curly yesterday and loved it for the most part, until later in the day my hair was slightly weighed down by the tiny bit of argon oil I put in it. I don't have gel yet, but I'm looking forward to when I get the gel I bought from Devacurl. You're right! I'm hoping it will be worth it to keep it curly. How do you wear your hair when you have to keep it up out of your face? I work at a hospital and currently have my hair sort of in a pineapple style, but just not as high on my head.
Hey Kayla! Glad you are loving your hair. I actually filmed a video on curly hairstyles. Posting it tonight. I’m a nurse & have to wear my hair up often. ❤️
I just started watching you the other day and from the start I thought your hair looked the closest to mine (2c.3a just guessing for me) that I've seen and I'm so glad I found you!! Lol I'm just starting curly girl so I'm hoping this works out for me as good as it has for you! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Nicole!! Thank you. Yes, I’m 2C/3A... I wish I made videos before my hair started to look good... it was crazay!!
I did the exact same thing - bleached my hair out right after thinking about how much I loved my hair. It was devastating! By the end of the day I was freaking out and I cried about it everyday for an embarrassingly long time. It took many years to get back to a place that I loved again. CG method has been a lifesaver!!
I love ur voice..... Its so soothing 😍
Love your hair, thanks for sharing your story
Thank You Elba! Hope you find your best curls :)
Yay for a Canadian curly girl!! I love your videos, would you be able to do a video using liveclean products?
Fantastic ..loved it...beautiful curls...amazing..
Starting this journey today! I don't even know how I found your channel but your story could be mine. So, so curly as a kid but as soon as I started school I was brushing out my hair and blow drying it as straight as I could. And then straightening. Oh my god. I've never known what to do with it - I could never get it to look good - frizz, frizz, frizz. Even if I straightened it, it was curling by the end of the day. I ruined it. I've ordered Shea Moisture products and can't wait for them to get here. I tried scrunching my hair and letting it air dry with no product and was shocked how wavy it was! I'm hoping I get my coily curls back.
Hi! New subscriber here! Great hair videos!! Your quality and content of videos are great and so easy to watch with your down to earth personality!
Hi Rachel S. Thank you so much for the positivity :) Is there anything specific you'd like to see a video on?
Curly Susie you’re very welcome. You already did the two I request the most...application techniques and refreshing. I love watching any demos! 😃
You are without a doubt one of the most beautiful women(spirit & body) I have ever seen in my life!! Love this channel💜💜💜
Thank you so much Tiffany :) you made my day.
Beautiful video💕💜
What fun! Thanks for sharing!
I like u alott an your soo niceee , idk but im subbinggg
Your hair is more similar to mine than any other UA-camr I've seen so far. I just found you tidal and I'm so excited!!!! My hair has been super long, but I cut really short in the early fall. My hair is just to my shoulders when curly now. Sadly, I've been flat ironing it and/or blow drying it until a few weeks ago. I've done curly girl a lot over that last 12-13 years, but then I'd have times I wouldn't for a long time. My hair when I was pregnant with two of my kids went straight, so weird. My curl is back now though!!!!! Yay!!!!!
Thank you so much Sharon. The first couple of weeks are so hard, but I'll never go back. my hair is too easy & i love it now.
Same here! I have not found any other UA-cam that has such similar hair to me. Yay! I’m so glad to have found you! Love your accent as well. Greetings from Texas! 😄❤️
You are another level of real, fabulous and beautiful.
xoxo
Aw ❤️❤️❤️ thanks Mel! Xo
Hi! Have just subscribed to your channel! Started embracing my curls in May and 3 months into the CG method :) SO glad I have found your channel! It is so so helpful. Literally binge watching all your videos for tips! Xx
Yess!! Thank you Poppy. I love your name 💕
Curly Susie aww thank you 😆 just doing the Laura method, wish my hair didn't take so long to dry - diffusing for the first time!! Wish me luck!
My mom also used to brush out my curly hair when I was growing up. She used leave in conditioner and it used to take her like 45 minutes! My hair was very curly so it was so sore! I just want to cry when I think of the hair that I had as a child that I didn't appreciate. It was waist length and naturally blonde and very thick and ringlety, but I hated it. Anyway, I am loving my curly hair now and on the way to healthy, long curly hair again. Thanks for the video... it was very inspirational to see.
Beautiful!!
Thank you ❤️
Can't blame you for straightening your hair in the 2000s, I am about the same age and the pressure was real. Curly hair were not fashionable. Thanks to my laziness I resisted even though many people always asked me why I didn't wear my hair straight.
Love to see your story. You and I are similar in that I can wear my hear blonde or brunette and it still works. I was blonde as a child, but as I got older it got darker. My family still calls me the Spanish word for Blonde. But the Balayage is killing any chance of wave/curl I may have.
Oh God Susie!!! I am from India & My story looks kind of similar to yours.. I also started CG method recently and my baby is 3 months old as pregnancy is the period when you step out very less and stay with your natural hairs and then I discovered this CG method just a month ago. Hope it will give good results for me as well!!😀
Wow Susie, you've come a long way! Your transition didn't take all that long. Btw, how do you know if you're still in transition??
Thank you for this video... It puts it into perspective. Your hair is beautiful... I started the curly hair routine due to your video.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed... I want to know how to fluff it up so not to have the gel cast ... ideas??? :)
your hair is beautiful!! 😍And your confidence in yourself shows. would you be able to recreate your bridal hairstyle? 👰
Thank you for the inspiration!
And 🤣😂 @ “here’s me in my 1970s kitchen”!
Love your videos, they're so helpful and they give me hope!! I've dyed my hair approx. 30 times, blow-dried daily, straightened 2-3 times a week and I still brush it down all the time. Now it just looks like an awkward mix of straight/wavy/curly in the back, it sticks to my face, looks dull/unhealthy and I HATE it.
Do you think it would be useful for a wavy girl to start this method? I'm not starting out with beautiful curls like you had in the picture at 6:09. Also, would you recommend getting a layered haircut to start the whole process?
My story is a lot like yours. I had an awful relationship with my hair growing up. I'm much older than you, at 63, but when I was in high school and college the style was straight as well. We didn't have flat irons, so I would wrap my hair around my head, pin it with bobby pins and sit in front of a fan to dry it. A few years back, I wanted a short haircut to try and get a style that fit my curls; one that I could use the curling iron for big voluminous curls. I had warned my hairdresser about my curls for years. But she didn't believe my hair was curly because it is very fine and it blows out very easily. But as she cut it, my curls sprang. The more she tried to react to the springing curls, the more they tightened and the shorter my hair was. I ended up with a pixie and what looked like my grandmother's pin curls. I wanted to buy a wig, but suffered through with relaxers until I could straighten it again. As it grew out, I did get to the point that a curling iron worked great and gave me the style I wanted. I finally looked like I had a thick head of curls. But even that fried my hair. This summer I have been trying to let it go natural again. But I always end up blowing it out because it's not full enough and my curls are thin. I also have 2c, 3a curls. But mine look like those ramen noodles people talk about.They don't clump, but curl into stringy curls. My hair's length is midway to my bra strap when straight, and shrinks to my shoulders when curled. Is it because my hair is so fine? Do you have any suggestions to improve the volume? Do you think my curls will clump more as my hair gets healthier? I'm not sure if it is worth going through the transition, if all I will end up with is a head full of Ramen noodles and a hard time going back to straightening it or curling it with heat. Once given freedom, it's hard to tame my curls into submission again. LOL
Wow I had the exact same outfit with the black stripes and hat when I was little! Must be a Canadian brand!
Zellers I had the same outfit
Great video! Love seeing people curly girl journeys..I've been somewhat follow the method for about a year now and my hair has come along ways but what should I do if one side of my hair is 2c/3a hair texture and the other side is 2b?
hi Curly Susie, I really enjoy your video I rediscover my wavy hair a year ago, Can you please do a review on the products Mad about curls/wavy hair from Schwarzkopf?..Thnak you!
Hi Susie- I just found your channel and I’m really enjoying it. I too have curly wavy hair. It’s similar to yours but slightly looser curls in the back. I am jumping around using deva curl products and the Acure pumpkin seed and argan oil shampoo and conditioner from Whole Foods. As far as gels, I’m trying out the Curl enhancing gel from Amika . Not sure yet what I think. Is the Bioterra gel you use a generic gel similar to the Biolage Gelee? They look very similar. I would love to try the Down Under Naturals Nude Coconut conditioner but only Walmart in Canada sells it and with tax and added shipping fees it comes to $16. 😩
I've been a flat ironer for years and years now and I leave it curly on days when I'm in a hurry but I still like mine way better straight because I got bangs back in 2007 and I am still in love with them. However, it's hard for them to look right with my coils.
Curly hair looks Awesome on you though! I just don't have strong enough facial features for it to look as good on me.
I totally get that last minute, regain-a-sense-of-control bleaching impulse. Sometimes we have to ruin things one last time to be sure we're committed I guess!
This past and the last year I went from a huge haircut to get rid of length that had been bleached blonde, dyed red, then dyed black (during an on off nightmare relationship where I was being critiqued about my looks and compared to other women and that is the least bad of it too, ugh... Every time I dyed my hair I thought it might change me enough that I could either get away from him and turn a new leaf with someone kinder, or have a focus other than him, or be accepted by him... ugh!!)
This was around when I finally started getting my life back, the ex wouldnt talk to me anymore which felt traumatizing at the time but it saved my life.
The remaining black over bleached red length faded out to a match to my natural medium brown. ... which I then subjected to the keratin-ammonia blowout so I wouldn't have to think about it....
It started to grow out and get healthier, but the waves and curls (2b,c, and some 3a, which I didn't know at the time) were coming back and I felt mad at it so....
Bleach. 3 times. Low lift, I was trying to do 'natural' highlights but all it did was utterly destroy my freakin hair. I was mad that it was even frizzier and one day as I was defeatedly plugging in my overused flat iron, the iron shorted out. I didn't know what to do, budget wouldn't allow for a new one any time soon.
My therapist had recently challenged me to be loving to myself and as I was standing there wondering what that meant in this context, I suddenly realized.
That's when I just decided to accept my hair and learn how to take care of it. I cut even more off, I have a longish *bowl cut* right now almost haha, NOT the most flattering cut on me.... but my curls began to live again. And I finally know how to take care of them. By extension I am being challenged to apply a similar level of love to the rest of my being, and my life. .. again, finally.
My sister and I didn't realize we had curly hair until we were in high school because growing up our mom would always brush our hair so that's what we did and just thought we were cursed with frizzy hair! I am guilty of flat ironing my hair too much in the past few years, but it fits so much easier into my motorcycle helmet. No more heat!
You are amazing 😘
About to start my journey...very similar to yours xx
My hair type is exactly like yours. Just started curly girl method
Hi Susie! Can you try the dippity do girls with curls anti frizz gelee. I just started the curly girl method and i found it at walmart. I am loving it so far. Sulfate silicone alcohol and paraben free! They have other products in this line too but they are not curly girl approved. I am currently using the curl gelee and co wash which are curly girl approved!
6:19 I love your hair! I wish I have your texture too. I'm planning to go back to my naturally curly hair this August (less hassle) after a year of flat ironing it and I don't know what to expect! Will I see a difference after a week of not flat ironing it? Or do I need 3 months to notice something? Thanks!
It depends on how healthy your hair is!!
