Sorry hun can’t say I joined you there. I always thought that style looked funny. I did have a friend in middle school who did do that tho. Lol didn’t look good
I’m happy to see women are starting to embrace their curls. I’m 44 years old and have always loved and embraced my curly hair. Even through the eighties when everyone was teasing and crimping their hair, I always wore it natural. I would have to create my own hair products at the time because the choices we have today didn’t exist. It’s a breath of fresh air after years of flat irons and manipulation of ones natural hair texture. I’m glad to say I was truly ahead of my time.
42 year old here. Did we really have a choice? There were no straightening irons on the market that got above 2 degrees then. I had a straightener with interchangeable crimping and wave plates. I used those from time to time and tried the straightener twice. No! It didn’t do anything but get the top layer somewhat straighter but you could still feel huge waves. We grew up in a time when curly hair was all the rage. I had curly hair when I was born, it went straight and waves & curls started coming back during puberty. I didn’t know it because I was spending 5 hours in the chair at the salon getting body waves or spiral perms (that took 3 boxes of perm solution to achieve). I started getting perms at 12 and I was 15 when I decided to splurge and go to an Aveda salon. I told the stylist that my last body wave was still hanging on for dear life and he said sweetie, that’s natural curl. I was 100% in love with it and rarely straightened my hair (but I did get one or 2 more spiral perms before I gave up the ghost). I always liked doing roller sets if I wanted my hair to be a bit straighter for a particular style but I did damage trying to get my curl back. I still color or highlight because I have several different colors in my hair. I was born with a head full of jet black hair that turned brown, red, strawberry blonde and then a light golden blonde with a strawberry tint. As I went through puberty the sides of my hair went white blonde, the bottom layer started turning a dark brown, the top is a dirty blonde and it all has a strawberry tint very noticeable in the sun. I try to keep whatever I do somewhat close to the natural colors and I prefer highlights and low lights because I will go a year between getting it done. I’m lazy like that. I don’t want anything that requires constant upkeep.
Baptized by Fire It is great that picks and wide tooth combs were the instruments of choice when we were growing up. By the time my waves and curls started coming back I was well versed in using them and never brushing dry hair. I’ve tried to keep one good paddle brush on hand for the last 25 years that I use on the rare occasions that I do a different style. I can’t even remember the last time I used a standard hair brush. Unfortunately most of the stylists where I live try to come at you with a rat tailed comb.
I really love my curly hair and I think it looks good. However every single time I straighten my hair I get so many compliments like 'you look so good' 'wow you look presentable for once' 'oh you should brush your hair more often it looks good straight' and I cant help that it lowkey makes me feel like there is something wrong with my hair in everyone else's eyes...
Love your curls! I think every curly girl goes through a period where they straighten their hair all the time. We always want what we don't have, right? I remember straightening my hair every day in high school! Then when I went to college, it was like "I don't have time for this!" Now I rarely straighten it & I stopped coloring it years ago. It's pretty much all natural now - wash, curl cream, & air dry :)
Dana!!! Your channel literally saved my hair. I went from having the WORST frizzy/wavy hair to having wash & go curly hair in 6 months. I just started watching your makeup tutorials because I really like your style, Im in my early 30's and never wear makeup & so I find the video's a little daunting. Wondering if you could do a makeup video for beginners????
I'm white Puerto Rican and my mother has African American ancestry. I remember that when I was little I had half curly half straight hair, it was like a soft curly. All my life I flat iron my hair because I didn't understand how to properly manage it, so when I moved to the US I meet a girl from Haiti and she told me that my hair was Afro curly and that I should manage it with African hair products and not make it straight cause I was damaging it, After few years I decided to do what she said and today my hair is beautiful curly. I regret not knowing my type of hair and not embracing my mother's roots. 😢
Glitter Rose The color of your skin is not your ethnicity. I'm also Cuban. I easily tan and easily pale as well. I am very aware Latinos come in all colors. But. Latinos can be pale, but they are never Caucasian latinos unless the are mixed race. (white and Latino). Latinos are not caucasian. Ever. Be educated please.
Glitter Rose Obviously you are not educated on this topic. Maybe you are educated in general, but not when it comes to Latinos. That is obvious through the way you state false information.
My hair is exactly the same. It started out straight/wavy when I was a kid and slowly got curlier. Unfortunately I went through a phase where I dyed my hair and straightened it all the time. On top of that, I used to work as a swim teacher and a life guard, so I spent 25 hours a week essentially soaking my hair in chlorine. My hair is so damaged that it basically doesn't curl the same anymore, and now it has a half wavy/half curly texture. I'm slowly working on growing it out but it's such a pain.
When I was little my hair was super curly and then it got REALLY straight but then I got a pixie cut and now it is growing back it is getting curly again. Except I can’t figure out how to keep the curls from falling flat in a day, help me please
I literally feel like I’m watching myself talk about my hair past life 😂 born blonde and it turned brown, went from a wave to a full on curl, straightened my bangs 8th-9th grade, straighten my hair to look more out together.... your hair now looks so much more amazing, healthy and defined than mine is though.
Luv this! My hair has always been a thick frizzy mess and I didn’t know how to take care of it and my mama doesn’t have curly hair so she didn’t know what to do with it so when I was little I wore pigtail braids or a ponytail.. 5th grade I started straightening my hair and it wasn’t until 9th grade I started using hair products and realized my hair isn’t just a poofy mess it actually was curly 😂 my hair is now super healthy and I no longer straighten it much so I try to tell everyone that has curly hair to not straighten
I know my hair is curly, but I can't get it to like, bounce? It looks gorgeous wet, but as soon as it dries it just puffs. I miss feeling beautiful w my hair down, any tips? 💙
Me too also always had thick frizzy messy hair whether it was curly or straight. I think it has a lot of do with where you live. The humidity. If the humidity is high then you are going to suffer with a lot of frizzy hair. I really wish that I didn't have to straighten or relax my curly hair. Or what you would call it, "Type 2c/3a hair." I have a girlfriend from high school that also had very long thick frizzy naturally curly hair, and I've learned that we have the same hair type! And, the year after we met she had gotten her thick curly frizzy hair straightened or relaxed! I was in total shock! But she looked a lot prettier with it then she did with it curly. Don't get me wrong. She's also beautiful with her curly as well but she just looks so much better with straight hair rather than her curly hair, and when she got it straightened she still kept it very long! It was hip length close to tailbone length. When it was curly it was close also her tailbone as well! I honestly think that if she had kept all of her hair when she got it straightened it would have reached to classic length.
The start of this video, from elementary through high school is literally my curly hair journey, especially the complements I'd get when my hair was straight! I love my curls now, and my journey to healthy curls started about 5 months ago! I can't wait to see what they will look like in a years time! Loved this video!!
Love your curly hair!! I also have curly hair and used to straighten it every day for YEARS. Now I'm loving my natural curls, and my hair not only looks better, but the quality and length has improved so much too because I'm not damaging it anymore.
This makes me so excited! I'm in the shoes you were in a few years ago when you decided to just embrace your curl (and then crossed your fingers that it came back the way it was)! My hair used to look just like yours does now. Except I was using horrible products so it was always crunchy or frizzy, never really in between. Then I started straightening as much as I could and it got to the point where it just wouldn't really curl anymore! I have been almost in tears because I miss my curls!! Like you said... it's just a part of me! I've spent all weekend doing research on Deva curl products and routines and already today, my hair is curling more than it has in months so I'm excited. Thanks for all of your curly girl videos! Truly appreciated!!!
I'm so happy because found this video. Absolutely the same story like me. I thiught i was the only one who change the color everytime, straighten bangs and straight all over if I want to go out. I totaly lost my curls for 10 years and now they slowly start showing. Thank you for your channel :) and sorry for my English, i'm from Czech republic
I straightened my hair everyday in middle school for all 3 years, I have hair similar to yours. I was so self conscious because everyone had amazing straight hair. I'm a sophomore in high school and I have been wearing my curly hair everyday. I'm still self conscious but I knew that road would have been even worse. ❤️
That is so funny about the “curls coming back” excitement- I thought my curls were popping a couple of years ago- barely any shrinkage. Now it’s inches of difference😂
I think you are my favourite "curly hair youtuber". When I put mousse, my curls look like yours, they build locks. When I put no mousse, they sometimes look like a 2B/2C and I have dry hair. I use products with silicone and sulfates in it, but I have already done an order of shea moisture shampoo and conditioner and it comes next week. Moreover I bought 2/3 months ago "Lush" products, thinking that they were sulfate free, but I was wrong. But good about my hair, is that I rarely use heat, I straighten my hair once a year, I almost never blow-dry it and I've never dyed it. Also, your hair is not greasy at all, looks perfect to me.
I did the bun technique too! Especially when my curls started to come in around 8th grade and I didn't know how to style it. Also, feel you on the vicious dying cycle. I'm still recovering from dying mine pink almost two years ago. It's a process!
I started my curly hair journey when I started watching your videos !!! Thank you for all the advice I’m happy with my curly hair and excited for the next coming years to finally have my hair long and healthy
I just stopped straightening my hair and trying to tame my hair with heat and these videos are SO helpful. Wildly enough I liked my curls but had no idea how to deal with them so I would actually straighten my hair to kill frizz and then double down on the heat by using a curling wand to get presentable curls. Super excited to get started on this curl journey :D
So grateful and thankful for you sharing your curly hair story with us all. I'm currently outgrowing my keratin treatment (my natural texture is probably to my ears currently). Hopefully I'll have my natural texture back by June/July of 2018. I think it is so important for us curly haired girls to be informed on what products to use and what haircuts work for us. I live in Australia, so we do not have access to DivaCurl products sadly, and our curl products are very limited here. It is still very much of a trend here to wear your hair dead straight, and sadly I fell into that trap for the last 2-3 years. Can't wait to start reconstructing my curls, and becoming for informed on what I should be doing and learning how to love my crazy italian curls.
I would love to see a more in depth video from your last two years journey! My hair now looks somewhat like yours did in 2015 and I would LOVE to get more tips and tricks on how to do, what to use etc. Your hair is literally my hair goals and looking at your journey gives me hope! ❤️
Can I just say your curly hair journey is literally the same as mine and we even have the same curl type. Crazy that we went through that faze of straightening and dying it bleach blonde to brown all the time. I'm so happy to finally be happy and embracing the curls cause like you said it feels so liberating.
You described every little thing that I did too!! Specially the part of "I used to straighten my hair when I had to go somewhere and look good". That's exactly what I used to do and I still do :( the only thing I never did was to color my hair. I'll do it when they'll start to become white! Great video!
Just starting my curly hair journey after a bout of alopecia. My hair is just now back to chin length, just purchased my starter kit today and I am so excited. LoL. Love Your Videos Thank You so much they have been very helpful.
I just discovered that my hair was wavy/curly (probably 2B/2C) but the top layer is so damaged from years of the sun and heat...does anybody have any tips for restoring my hair so that it can curl the way it wants to? My bottom layer is so curly and beautiful but the top is so dry and almost completely straight.
Sierra Doan omg I have 2a2b hair....and I don't know what the fuck to do with it. Its so thick, and coarse...but not "curly" or silky straight. It just sucks. YA'LL SHOULD TRY RICE WATER....FOR REPAIR AND SILKINESS, LENGHT. IM GOING TO TRY
Ikr I can’t find a video for this I keep trying different products and my hair just goes so flat and I can’t get it to stay the same after washing it:(.
your hair is perfect perfect perfect . Straight haired women always say they wish they had curly hair ....why can't we be happy with what we have ? You look beautiful now .
I relate to coloring my hair and then in a desperate move to correct the damage I had a keratin treatment which totally damaged my hair. I ended up cutting it all off! Now going through the curly hair journey.
I'm now in your 2015 situation. I'm ALWAYS straightening my hair, but a few days ago I decided to embrace my curls. And now I get the wannabe curls you had on your pictures 😅 But this time I won't give up. I'm also searching for the best products to get the best results. Nice video. I will look through your other videos now 😊
Your hair looks beautiful as usual! But your skin and makeup, looks amazing! I am not sure if it is that “engaged glow” or just how great you eat and what not! You are stunning!! Please make more what you eat and workout videos 🙂!
Its amazing isn't it. As hair care and styling is so straight-haired/euro-centric those of us with tighter waves and curls are made to feel that curly hair is inappropriate by other people (even family members and friends), the media, magazines etc, so we gravitated towards the straight styles and even when we wore it natural we cared for it as straight hair because we didn't know better. Once I learned how curly hair has different needs and started to cater to those I saw a revolution in my curls and like you felt liberated to appreciate them for what they truly are. I have always loved my curls, and never wanted straight hair, but these days I love them and embrace them in ways I never did. I was born in the 70's however, so I still feel that a blowout is necessary for myself when I have styled and formal occasions lol because in the 70's and 80' curly hair was definitely considered wild and crazy so we always set it in rollers. Some things just never go away :-)
I had(well I guess "have" but right now it's heat damaged) tight 3b-3c curls. When I was very young, they were gorgeous and I was around 5 maybe. (they never really straightened out naturally). My dad shaved my head 7 times in that year. I believed it was to have them grow back longer but it turns out that he was hoping they'd grow back straight. My parents lived in India in an area where natural curls were viewed as unprofessional and messy. Finally, my dad would straighten my hair constantly when I was younger to the point that it was straightened so hard that my hair became very thin. It only became worse and worse naturally. Now, I decided to recover my natural hair. I have intense heat damage. My bottom half of my hair is basically dead. I am going to cut the bottom half of my hair off. The rest of my hair loosened to a 2c-3a hair pattern in general. My hair underneath, the least heat damaged, are going strong at 3b-3c hair curls. Any tips to help recover my hair? I am at the 2.5 months point.
I love this so much because I got made fun of my big curly hair, got told I looked prettier with straight hair and I laughed so hard when you brought up straightening your bangs; I was like, " YES". anyway I'm on my hair journey and its so frustrating but trying to bw patient but one thing I'm thankful for is I know how to take care of my daughters hair and having her embrace her gorgeous curls.
Omg girl I can relate. I flat ironed it every single day for 2 years straight until my hair was literally (not even exaggerating) turning white from all the split ends and broken hair reflecting. So of course, like you, I did keratin which didn't do anything except make my hair a tiny bit softer. So I just put the heat down for a year and now I blow-dry it every few weeks only and I do have a balayage but my hair is very healthy and curly. I love it now idk why I did the flat iron to myself. Plus I have like a 7 head so...the flat hair look wasn't working hahahaha
Oh my god! In elementary school I had the same hair! It was all pretty much straight and then I'd have to curls at the front. I HATED them. Finally I've found someone with the same problem!
This is literally my situation wow I always loved my curly and i damaged it through dying it. This year I finally realized how damaged my hair actually is and am finally starting to take care of it
My hair has been through hell and back and I’m literally only 15. I had beautiful Shirley temple curls when I was younger and in middle school I started wrecking my hair. Literally everyone had straight hair at my middle school and I though it looked so good compared to my messy unkept looking curls so I straightened it everyday from the 7th-8th grades, and dyed it 3 times in the 7th grade. But during the summer my boyfriend, before we were dating, encouraged me to wear it natural so I began letting it do its own thing and get a little better although it was still a mess but this basketball cheer season I started straightening it and curling it for games and decided it was easier to style it than leave it natural. My hair is literally ruined and Im having such a hard time with it and I’m so jealous of everyone at my school with beautiful curls. But your videos are helping me realize I’m not the only one and that I have all the time in the world to recover my curls and my curl pattern, thank you for helping me.
My hair looks like yours in random parts. The rest is a looser wave. I've seen your hair wet and detangled and that looks like my hair, too. I can comb it wet and it looks straight, except a few bits that turn (particularly around my face.) I have been doing a modified curly girl method for 2+ years now. The first thing I did was drop shampoo. I wasn't too picky about what conditioner I used, though. I just made sure to thin it out and use globs of it to detangle in the shower, plus massaging some in my scalp to cleanse. I was still wearing it in a perma-bun/ponytail though, and even flat ironing at times. I have stopped using heat now and for the last 6 months I have been letting it air dry down and wearing it down (this is so not something I have been able to do since I was a little kid unless it was straightened or curled---my hair is between those states and I was bullied growing up because of it. Was told it looks dirty and messy). And for the last maybe month I have been using Shea Moisture conditioner for my co-washes (which IS CG approved) and I did squish to condish recently and suddenly I am noticing even more hairs that are either curly or more obviously wavy, rather than looser waves. My side burns coil now, I have baby hairs at the nap of my neck that coil, and I have 3-4 spiral curls that appear towards the under backside of my hair on wash days. My hair is also becoming more manipulatable. I can wet a piece that has straightened out on day 2, 3, 4, etc and encourage it to coil with my finger and water only. Is it your opinion my hair is in a transition still, or just merely that I have mixed textured hair and that's all? I want to get layers to see if the hair in the upper back will behave a bit more.
I just straightened my hair on Sunday after wearing it wavy/curly for a super long time. Of course, as soon as I walked into church, one of my friends pointed out how pretty my hair looked. It definitely makes me self conscious of wearing my hair curly.
This is so similar to my story. When I was little my hair was straight with a wave and once puberty hit, that's when my curls started coming in. I didn't know why it was doing it so I kept straightening it and now I regret it. I'm still on the path to helping it get better.
I’m in the middle of my curly hair journey, and it’s going pretty well for me. I straightened my hair for about half a year until I decided to stop, because I noticed that it started getting really damaged. I stopped straightening my hair about a year ago, and I have only straightened it occasionally three times from then, and I think that’s actually pretty good. Over the 6 months, my hair actually hasn’t gotten TOO damaged, but it’s not completely healthy. I have done a keratin treatment almost 2 years ago, and I’m not even gonna bother going into detail about how much I regret it, and why I regret it. It’s honestly the worst thing ever!! I regret sooo much. I used to have veryyy thick natural curly hair and the keratin thinned it out. Half of my hair fell out, and now my hair is very thin. I started doing coconut and castor oil treatments, and I’ve noticed that new hairs are starting to grow on my scalp. I also stopped putting any products with silicone or solvated in it? Specifically moose. Ever since I’ve stopped adding these products, I’ve noticed that my keratin damaged hair is starting to get a bit more curls than it has before. I only stopped putting moose in my hair about two months ago, and it’s already helping!
I just started watching your videos and it has helped me so much in restoring my curly hair my hair got so damaged because of too much heat because I got so insecure of myself with my curly hair because my bf preferred me to have straight hair more it just got to me but I’m learning to embrace my hair again anyways love your videos !❤️
OMG your hair is so perfect!!!! And you’re simply amazing!!! thank you for remind me to be myself and to keep improving what I am not changing and make it worst!
The picture of your Jan 2016 hair is how my hair looks like now. I’m hoping my hair will eventually become curly now that I’m actively trying to repair years worth of heat and color damage. Fingers crossed.
Well i have a curly too. But i have never straighten my hair so my curls are ALIVE. In the beginning i hate my hair after 6 years , i try to use more organic stuffs like ogx and elseve ... And my hair is not perfect but there are so many little curls in my hair and these are soooo sweet. Dont forget to be kind for to your hair.
you know in every single curly hair video NO ONE mentions the stupid baby hair in the front. As a child I had an afro of curls, my mom was not girly at all but did not know how to manage my curly hair since I got it from my dad's side of the family. She started blowing drying my hair out every day and it left me with loose spiral curls until I got to middle school and everyone knows straight was in so I would straighten it alll the time but it's not until I dyed my hair blonde that my curls were shattered. I actually started looking up ways to bring your curls back to life because of those stupid front baby hairs, my whole head would be perfectly straight and then my front hairs would stand up no matter how hard I tried to make them go downward. Obviously, I came to the conclusion welp maybe my hair is just supposed to be curly and I honestly miss my hair. So thank you so much for the inspiration and for making me think it is possible.
I'm glad you embraced it, you have great hair😊 I'm a year and a half into regrowing my hair after heat/dye damage. the push for me was after daily straightening since 5th grade and my hair never grew back to how long it was before I started.. and my hair wasn't even that long before anyway.. but I went to the salon and told her I didn't have much hair to lose seeing how it took me years of not really trying, to get to my upper back. so I told her a max of an 2 inches off my hair to layer it (it was way too thick to be that short)...and what did she do??? cut it and thined it before straightening it, and ended up with my hair barely over my shoulders and thin as fuck. I was sooo disappointed, but that was a year ago, and the last time I got my hair cut, I haven't dyed or straighten it, and I've had lots of oil treatments and vitamins I can gladly say my hair has grown at least 4 inches and is ALMOST as long as yours 😊
I can’t wait for the updated version I’ve been trying to get my curls back and your previous video did help me soooo much my hair is sooo hydrated compared to how it was before but i need to commit and break the hair straightener habit time ! for me is sooo hard And to be honest I don’t know why I just curl it right after 🤦🏻♀️ but I’ve been straightening it 1 -2xs a week for the longest and I’ve cut it down to 1 x a week
You do look beautiful with blonde hair but it’s not worth it to ruin your gorgeous curls! I’m on year one of curly hair recovery and I’m realizing how patient I have to be. It still doesn’t look like I want it to and I have a very short bob 😭 I tried to cut out the damage but now I kinda regret it
For some reason I love watching curly hair videos even tho I have straight hair, idk there's always more fascinating things going on in curly hair channels
My hair type is so so wired.When i was a baby i had blonde curly hair and when i was in second grade my hair became straight,i was straight until 4 grade.In 5 grade my hair was wavy so i tried to put a curly hair product my mom had and i was way more wavy i was doing that for a year and my hair became curly not how i wanted it but still curly.Now im going to keep doing what im doing and im hoping that it will be as good as yours or less but im not going to give up 😌
Omg this is exactly what i went through this is my first week not using heat im in 8th grade now and JUST relising that i actually have curly hair! i hope that i can get my full curls back 😬ive been dying my hair since 3rd grade and have straightened my hair everyday for over 4 years
I came across one of your hair videos, and thought your hair kind'a resembled mine (brown, some ringlet curls and some waves). But it sounds like your hair was a lot different than mine growing up. Mine's always been dark brown, and had started as ringlets (after having enough hair to grow them at least), but the curls had relaxed some when it got longer. I guess I'm not super sure what my curls are supposed to look like now, since I'd been trying to discourage curls since I was nine. I had been made fun of for curly hair through school and had gotten really good at brushing out the curl while it's wet and having it dry reasonably straight. Now it seems like my hair doesn't want to curl as easily as it used to. But my bangs are coming out in ringlets. The rest is kind'a hit or miss. I want to think it'll look similar to how yours does in this video in a few weeks.
Straightening my hair has always been much easier than upkeeping my curly hair these days. From my youth till around my 20's it always did its thing well, but today is a much different story. I've gone from a 2c curl to a 2b curl /wave and I just can't seem to find my groove with it. The curly girl method totally doesn't work for me, It leaves me a frizz ball. I don't use heat, but when I did it was a frizzy mess. I live in Texas where the humidity is bonkers so I'm sure that's a big issue. I'm kinda at my wit's end 😢.
I don't think I have extreme curls but idk anyway I always brush out my hair straight then then put it in a loose ponytail however on Thursday I left out some front bits and they got really curly. Looking like a damn slinky. My friend noticed this and practically had a breakdown about the 'cute wittle curl on my head'. She insisted on taking a photo. It was funny.
I have finally decided to take the curly rehab journey.. I'm on day three lol you're video is an inspiration. I thought my curls were MIA But I've bought a curl moisture mask and have started the process to embrace the curl. Fingers crossed
I’m so great full I came across your channel. It’s kinda funny because I also have green eyes and literally the exact same hair as you 😂. I can’t wait to learn more about my hair through your channel !!☕️
I can't believe every girl with curly hair went through a phase of straightening their fringe... Why did we do that to ourselves hahaha
Jana vlogs lol I still do, growing my bangs out
Sorry hun can’t say I joined you there. I always thought that style looked funny. I did have a friend in middle school who did do that tho. Lol didn’t look good
I straightened it all middle and high school now I embraced my curls
i didn’t do that. i straightened the whole thing lol.
OOF MY SIDE BANGS
when you said you kept your hair in a bun from third to fifth grade, i FELT that
SAMEE
I wore my hair in a ponytail every day until I was sixteen years old. Can you imagine?
Sameeeee😭
same!!!
Omg same!!! My parents would laugh at me how i got all my hair in this perfect little bun lol
I can't get over how gorgeous your curls are in this. You've got to do an updated routine!! They're literally beautiful perfect locks. Love!
I’m happy to see women are starting to embrace their curls. I’m 44 years old and have always loved and embraced my curly hair. Even through the eighties when everyone was teasing and crimping their hair, I always wore it natural. I would have to create my own hair products at the time because the choices we have today didn’t exist. It’s a breath of fresh air after years of flat irons and manipulation of ones natural hair texture. I’m glad to say I was truly ahead of my time.
Amanda 73 conditioner and water in a pray bottle am I right lol
Dolores Rogers-Gonzalez Hell yeah! I was all about that. In fact I still do it. LOL
42 year old here. Did we really have a choice?
There were no straightening irons on the market that got above 2 degrees then.
I had a straightener with interchangeable crimping and wave plates. I used those from time to time and tried the straightener twice. No! It didn’t do anything but get the top layer somewhat straighter but you could still feel huge waves.
We grew up in a time when curly hair was all the rage. I had curly hair when I was born, it went straight and waves & curls started coming back during puberty. I didn’t know it because I was spending 5 hours in the chair at the salon getting body waves or spiral perms (that took 3 boxes of perm solution to achieve). I started getting perms at 12 and I was 15 when I decided to splurge and go to an Aveda salon. I told the stylist that my last body wave was still hanging on for dear life and he said sweetie, that’s natural curl. I was 100% in love with it and rarely straightened my hair (but I did get one or 2 more spiral perms before I gave up the ghost). I always liked doing roller sets if I wanted my hair to be a bit straighter for a particular style but I did damage trying to get my curl back.
I still color or highlight because I have several different colors in my hair. I was born with a head full of jet black hair that turned brown, red, strawberry blonde and then a light golden blonde with a strawberry tint. As I went through puberty the sides of my hair went white blonde, the bottom layer started turning a dark brown, the top is a dirty blonde and it all has a strawberry tint very noticeable in the sun. I try to keep whatever I do somewhat close to the natural colors and I prefer highlights and low lights because I will go a year between getting it done. I’m lazy like that. I don’t want anything that requires constant upkeep.
Baptized by Fire It is great that picks and wide tooth combs were the instruments of choice when we were growing up. By the time my waves and curls started coming back I was well versed in using them and never brushing dry hair. I’ve tried to keep one good paddle brush on hand for the last 25 years that I use on the rare occasions that I do a different style. I can’t even remember the last time I used a standard hair brush. Unfortunately most of the stylists where I live try to come at you with a rat tailed comb.
I really love my curly hair and I think it looks good. However every single time I straighten my hair I get so many compliments like 'you look so good' 'wow you look presentable for once' 'oh you should brush your hair more often it looks good straight' and I cant help that it lowkey makes me feel like there is something wrong with my hair in everyone else's eyes...

They're jealous.
Greta J. Speak back. Don’t let them say this shit to you
People say that whenever you deviate from your norm. If you wear your hair straight everyday and then leave it curly, you'll get the same comments
I am completely envious of curly hair.
The straight bangs... haha, I remember my phase like that!
Ah I love this!! I remember when you decided to go natural & people would comment to tell you "You're hair isn't even curly." Well look at it now 😍😍😍
omg yes I totally forgot about that!! 😂
This video gives me so much hope. I’ve been in this process for a year and I was so close to give up. I just had my first curly haircut yesterday.
I’ve heard that so many times before 😤
Love your curls! I think every curly girl goes through a period where they straighten their hair all the time. We always want what we don't have, right? I remember straightening my hair every day in high school! Then when I went to college, it was like "I don't have time for this!" Now I rarely straighten it & I stopped coloring it years ago. It's pretty much all natural now - wash, curl cream, & air dry :)
Dana!!! Your channel literally saved my hair. I went from having the WORST frizzy/wavy hair to having wash & go curly hair in 6 months. I just started watching your makeup tutorials because I really like your style, Im in my early 30's and never wear makeup & so I find the video's a little daunting. Wondering if you could do a makeup video for beginners????
OMG!! I love your videos!! ❤
Please explain the curly girl hair routine in more depth and all the products you use. I guess just tell us everything you do! 😊
I am! I'm going to be doing a "how to start the curly girl method" video as well as my updated routine :)
Hi! :3 You look so pretty!
I'm white Puerto Rican and my mother has African American ancestry. I remember that when I was little I had half curly half straight hair, it was like a soft curly. All my life I flat iron my hair because I didn't understand how to properly manage it, so when I moved to the US I meet a girl from Haiti and she told me that my hair was Afro curly and that I should manage it with African hair products and not make it straight cause I was damaging it, After few years I decided to do what she said and today my hair is beautiful curly. I regret not knowing my type of hair and not embracing my mother's roots. 😢
Same. I am half Suriname but white as fuck. Since a month I use African hair products and my hair have never looked so good
Hun you are not white ❤️ I'm Cuban, were latinas! Latin people are not Caucasian!
Glitter Rose The color of your skin is not your ethnicity. I'm also Cuban. I easily tan and easily pale as well. I am very aware Latinos come in all colors. But. Latinos can be pale, but they are never Caucasian latinos unless the are mixed race. (white and Latino). Latinos are not caucasian. Ever. Be educated please.
Glitter Rose Obviously you are not educated on this topic. Maybe you are educated in general, but not when it comes to Latinos. That is obvious through the way you state false information.
@@user-hn4fi3vt9c I'm Latina so don't tell me i don't know😂 because I get comments saying I look black
When someone else with curly hair straightens it, and then everyone keeps bugging you to do it.
Ugh literally what I'm going through right now and then I stare at the other curly girl like "WE WERE SUPPOSE TO BE IN THIS TOGETHER YOU BETRAYED ME"
My hair is exactly the same. It started out straight/wavy when I was a kid and slowly got curlier. Unfortunately I went through a phase where I dyed my hair and straightened it all the time. On top of that, I used to work as a swim teacher and a life guard, so I spent 25 hours a week essentially soaking my hair in chlorine. My hair is so damaged that it basically doesn't curl the same anymore, and now it has a half wavy/half curly texture. I'm slowly working on growing it out but it's such a pain.
Lexa Nicole how are things now?
When I was little my hair was super curly and then it got REALLY straight but then I got a pixie cut and now it is growing back it is getting curly again. Except I can’t figure out how to keep the curls from falling flat in a day, help me please
I literally feel like I’m watching myself talk about my hair past life 😂 born blonde and it turned brown, went from a wave to a full on curl, straightened my bangs 8th-9th grade, straighten my hair to look more out together.... your hair now looks so much more amazing, healthy and defined than mine is though.
your curls are so defined and moisturized! goalsssss
Luv this! My hair has always been a thick frizzy mess and I didn’t know how to take care of it and my mama doesn’t have curly hair so she didn’t know what to do with it so when I was little I wore pigtail braids or a ponytail.. 5th grade I started straightening my hair and it wasn’t until 9th grade I started using hair products and realized my hair isn’t just a poofy mess it actually was curly 😂 my hair is now super healthy and I no longer straighten it much so I try to tell everyone that has curly hair to not straighten
Madison Hamilton SAME
I know my hair is curly, but I can't get it to like, bounce? It looks gorgeous wet, but as soon as it dries it just puffs. I miss feeling beautiful w my hair down, any tips?
💙
Me too also always had thick frizzy messy hair whether it was curly or straight. I think it has a lot of do with where you live. The humidity. If the humidity is high then you are going to suffer with a lot of frizzy hair. I really wish that I didn't have to straighten or relax my curly hair. Or what you would call it, "Type 2c/3a hair." I have a girlfriend from high school that also had very long thick frizzy naturally curly hair, and I've learned that we have the same hair type! And, the year after we met she had gotten her thick curly frizzy hair straightened or relaxed! I was in total shock! But she looked a lot prettier with it then she did with it curly. Don't get me wrong. She's also beautiful with her curly as well but she just looks so much better with straight hair rather than her curly hair, and when she got it straightened she still kept it very long! It was hip length close to tailbone length. When it was curly it was close also her tailbone as well! I honestly think that if she had kept all of her hair when she got it straightened it would have reached to classic length.
The start of this video, from elementary through high school is literally my curly hair journey, especially the complements I'd get when my hair was straight! I love my curls now, and my journey to healthy curls started about 5 months ago! I can't wait to see what they will look like in a years time! Loved this video!!
Love your curly hair!! I also have curly hair and used to straighten it every day for YEARS. Now I'm loving my natural curls, and my hair not only looks better, but the quality and length has improved so much too because I'm not damaging it anymore.
This makes me so excited! I'm in the shoes you were in a few years ago when you decided to just embrace your curl (and then crossed your fingers that it came back the way it was)! My hair used to look just like yours does now. Except I was using horrible products so it was always crunchy or frizzy, never really in between. Then I started straightening as much as I could and it got to the point where it just wouldn't really curl anymore! I have been almost in tears because I miss my curls!! Like you said... it's just a part of me! I've spent all weekend doing research on Deva curl products and routines and already today, my hair is curling more than it has in months so I'm excited. Thanks for all of your curly girl videos! Truly appreciated!!!
I'm so happy because found this video. Absolutely the same story like me. I thiught i was the only one who change the color everytime, straighten bangs and straight all over if I want to go out. I totaly lost my curls for 10 years and now they slowly start showing. Thank you for your channel :) and sorry for my English, i'm from Czech republic
Seeing your hair motivates me to go back to my curly hair. 😭
I straightened my hair everyday in middle school for all 3 years, I have hair similar to yours. I was so self conscious because everyone had amazing straight hair. I'm a sophomore in high school and I have been wearing my curly hair everyday. I'm still self conscious but I knew that road would have been even worse. ❤️
That is so funny about the “curls coming back” excitement- I thought my curls were popping a couple of years ago- barely any shrinkage. Now it’s inches of difference😂
hahah isn't it crazy when you look back?!
I think you are my favourite "curly hair youtuber". When I put mousse, my curls look like yours, they build locks. When I put no mousse, they sometimes look like a 2B/2C and I have dry hair. I use products with silicone and sulfates in it, but I have already done an order of shea moisture shampoo and conditioner and it comes next week. Moreover I bought 2/3 months ago "Lush" products, thinking that they were sulfate free, but I was wrong. But good about my hair, is that I rarely use heat, I straighten my hair once a year, I almost never blow-dry it and I've never dyed it. Also, your hair is not greasy at all, looks perfect to me.
Thank you for sharing this! I've been tryna go natural as well but always fall back to my heat tools 😓 you're my hair goals!
Don't get discouraged! It's okay to use heat every once in a while, just make sure you are protecting your hair and deep conditioning :)
I did the bun technique too! Especially when my curls started to come in around 8th grade and I didn't know how to style it. Also, feel you on the vicious dying cycle. I'm still recovering from dying mine pink almost two years ago. It's a process!
I started my curly hair journey when I started watching your videos !!! Thank you for all the advice I’m happy with my curly hair and excited for the next coming years to finally have my hair long and healthy
I just stopped straightening my hair and trying to tame my hair with heat and these videos are SO helpful. Wildly enough I liked my curls but had no idea how to deal with them so I would actually straighten my hair to kill frizz and then double down on the heat by using a curling wand to get presentable curls.
Super excited to get started on this curl journey :D
I identify with this journey so much. Not sure why, but I also felt the pressure to straighten and dye my hair back and forth. Ty for sharing
So grateful and thankful for you sharing your curly hair story with us all. I'm currently outgrowing my keratin treatment (my natural texture is probably to my ears currently). Hopefully I'll have my natural texture back by June/July of 2018. I think it is so important for us curly haired girls to be informed on what products to use and what haircuts work for us. I live in Australia, so we do not have access to DivaCurl products sadly, and our curl products are very limited here. It is still very much of a trend here to wear your hair dead straight, and sadly I fell into that trap for the last 2-3 years. Can't wait to start reconstructing my curls, and becoming for informed on what I should be doing and learning how to love my crazy italian curls.
I would love to see a more in depth video from your last two years journey! My hair now looks somewhat like yours did in 2015 and I would LOVE to get more tips and tricks on how to do, what to use etc. Your hair is literally my hair goals and looking at your journey gives me hope! ❤️
Ur locks r goals
Can I just say your curly hair journey is literally the same as mine and we even have the same curl type. Crazy that we went through that faze of straightening and dying it bleach blonde to brown all the time. I'm so happy to finally be happy and embracing the curls cause like you said it feels so liberating.
Love the nail polish that you wearing in this video
I thought the same thing! Tell us what it is!
It's essie angora cardi :)
Your hair has grown so much ever since I first subscribed! Absolutely beautiful :)
😂😂 The bun gave you a facelift!! 😂😂
You described every little thing that I did too!! Specially the part of "I used to straighten my hair when I had to go somewhere and look good". That's exactly what I used to do and I still do :( the only thing I never did was to color my hair. I'll do it when they'll start to become white! Great video!
Just starting my curly hair journey after a bout of alopecia. My hair is just now back to chin length, just purchased my starter kit today and I am so excited. LoL. Love Your Videos Thank You so much they have been very helpful.
I just discovered that my hair was wavy/curly (probably 2B/2C) but the top layer is so damaged from years of the sun and heat...does anybody have any tips for restoring my hair so that it can curl the way it wants to? My bottom layer is so curly and beautiful but the top is so dry and almost completely straight.
Sierra Doan OMG I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!
I have the same problem :(
Sierra Doan omg I have 2a2b hair....and I don't know what the fuck to do with it. Its so thick, and coarse...but not "curly" or silky straight. It just sucks. YA'LL SHOULD TRY RICE WATER....FOR REPAIR AND SILKINESS, LENGHT. IM GOING TO TRY
Same here !
Ikr I can’t find a video for this I keep trying different products and my hair just goes so flat and I can’t get it to stay the same after washing it:(.
your hair is perfect perfect perfect . Straight haired women always say they wish they had curly hair ....why can't we be happy with what we have ? You look beautiful now .
I relate to coloring my hair and then in a desperate move to correct the damage I had a keratin treatment which totally damaged my hair. I ended up cutting it all off! Now going through the curly hair journey.
I only have waves but your hair is my envy!
I'm now in your 2015 situation. I'm ALWAYS straightening my hair, but a few days ago I decided to embrace my curls. And now I get the wannabe curls you had on your pictures 😅 But this time I won't give up. I'm also searching for the best products to get the best results. Nice video. I will look through your other videos now 😊
Oh my gosh I love that necklace!
I could not stop looking at your hair while I listened to you talk. Soooo beautiful! I wish i could make my curls look like that.
I agree, your hair looks SO IMPROVED! My hair looks kind of like your routine from January 2016 and I hope to get its shape back like this video!
Your hair looks beautiful as usual! But your skin and makeup, looks amazing! I am not sure if it is that “engaged glow” or just how great you eat and what not! You are stunning!! Please make more what you eat and workout videos 🙂!
thank you so much!! I can definitely do more videos like that!!
this is literally my LIIIIIFE wow i loved this video and have always wanted to make a video like this
Its amazing isn't it. As hair care and styling is so straight-haired/euro-centric those of us with tighter waves and curls are made to feel that curly hair is inappropriate by other people (even family members and friends), the media, magazines etc, so we gravitated towards the straight styles and even when we wore it natural we cared for it as straight hair because we didn't know better. Once I learned how curly hair has different needs and started to cater to those I saw a revolution in my curls and like you felt liberated to appreciate them for what they truly are. I have always loved my curls, and never wanted straight hair, but these days I love them and embrace them in ways I never did. I was born in the 70's however, so I still feel that a blowout is necessary for myself when I have styled and formal occasions lol because in the 70's and 80' curly hair was definitely considered wild and crazy so we always set it in rollers. Some things just never go away :-)
:,( I spoil my hair so much (no color, no heat, not chemicals, curly girl methods etc) and it's still so frizzy :(((
I had(well I guess "have" but right now it's heat damaged) tight 3b-3c curls. When I was very young, they were gorgeous and I was around 5 maybe. (they never really straightened out naturally). My dad shaved my head 7 times in that year. I believed it was to have them grow back longer but it turns out that he was hoping they'd grow back straight. My parents lived in India in an area where natural curls were viewed as unprofessional and messy. Finally, my dad would straighten my hair constantly when I was younger to the point that it was straightened so hard that my hair became very thin. It only became worse and worse naturally. Now, I decided to recover my natural hair. I have intense heat damage. My bottom half of my hair is basically dead. I am going to cut the bottom half of my hair off. The rest of my hair loosened to a 2c-3a hair pattern in general. My hair underneath, the least heat damaged, are going strong at 3b-3c hair curls. Any tips to help recover my hair? I am at the 2.5 months point.
I love this so much because I got made fun of my big curly hair, got told I looked prettier with straight hair and I laughed so hard when you brought up straightening your bangs; I was like, " YES". anyway I'm on my hair journey and its so frustrating but trying to bw patient but one thing I'm thankful for is I know how to take care of my daughters hair and having her embrace her gorgeous curls.
Omg girl I can relate. I flat ironed it every single day for 2 years straight until my hair was literally (not even exaggerating) turning white from all the split ends and broken hair reflecting. So of course, like you, I did keratin which didn't do anything except make my hair a tiny bit softer. So I just put the heat down for a year and now I blow-dry it every few weeks only and I do have a balayage but my hair is very healthy and curly. I love it now idk why I did the flat iron to myself. Plus I have like a 7 head so...the flat hair look wasn't working hahahaha
You are so beautiful and I loved you curly hair! I'm from Brazil 🙋🏽! 😘
Hahahaha the straight bangs and the curly hair 😂😭 maaaan bringing back the middle school memories for me!
Oh my god! In elementary school I had the same hair! It was all pretty much straight and then I'd have to curls at the front. I HATED them. Finally I've found someone with the same problem!
Omg the before picture is what my hair looks like I hope it will go back to how it was when I was little
This is literally my situation wow I always loved my curly and i damaged it through dying it. This year I finally realized how damaged my hair actually is and am finally starting to take care of it
I had the exact same style, curly hair and straightened bangs.... So funny!
Heather Barto same! Only some how my bangs were always straight while the rest was curly/wavy.
I would slick mine down with water and gel. I'm just starting to embrace my curls and I'm SO excited to FINALLY love my curls 🌻🌹🌼
You’re so pretty! And your hair looks amazing! It genuinely gives me hope for the mop on my head.
It is scary how much your story is basically me (except i’m only now starting to accept the curly hair life)
youre the only girl ive ever seen with my texture
My hair has been through hell and back and I’m literally only 15. I had beautiful Shirley temple curls when I was younger and in middle school I started wrecking my hair. Literally everyone had straight hair at my middle school and I though it looked so good compared to my messy unkept looking curls so I straightened it everyday from the 7th-8th grades, and dyed it 3 times in the 7th grade. But during the summer my boyfriend, before we were dating, encouraged me to wear it natural so I began letting it do its own thing and get a little better although it was still a mess but this basketball cheer season I started straightening it and curling it for games and decided it was easier to style it than leave it natural. My hair is literally ruined and Im having such a hard time with it and I’m so jealous of everyone at my school with beautiful curls. But your videos are helping me realize I’m not the only one and that I have all the time in the world to recover my curls and my curl pattern, thank you for helping me.
This video makes me want to go get in the shower and embrace my curls
My hair looks like yours in random parts. The rest is a looser wave. I've seen your hair wet and detangled and that looks like my hair, too. I can comb it wet and it looks straight, except a few bits that turn (particularly around my face.) I have been doing a modified curly girl method for 2+ years now. The first thing I did was drop shampoo. I wasn't too picky about what conditioner I used, though. I just made sure to thin it out and use globs of it to detangle in the shower, plus massaging some in my scalp to cleanse. I was still wearing it in a perma-bun/ponytail though, and even flat ironing at times. I have stopped using heat now and for the last 6 months I have been letting it air dry down and wearing it down (this is so not something I have been able to do since I was a little kid unless it was straightened or curled---my hair is between those states and I was bullied growing up because of it. Was told it looks dirty and messy). And for the last maybe month I have been using Shea Moisture conditioner for my co-washes (which IS CG approved) and I did squish to condish recently and suddenly I am noticing even more hairs that are either curly or more obviously wavy, rather than looser waves. My side burns coil now, I have baby hairs at the nap of my neck that coil, and I have 3-4 spiral curls that appear towards the under backside of my hair on wash days. My hair is also becoming more manipulatable. I can wet a piece that has straightened out on day 2, 3, 4, etc and encourage it to coil with my finger and water only. Is it your opinion my hair is in a transition still, or just merely that I have mixed textured hair and that's all? I want to get layers to see if the hair in the upper back will behave a bit more.
Updated curly hair routine please!! You hair looks amazing!!!
No pictures from when you were a baby ?!?!?! Lololol love you
I just straightened my hair on Sunday after wearing it wavy/curly for a super long time. Of course, as soon as I walked into church, one of my friends pointed out how pretty my hair looked. It definitely makes me self conscious of wearing my hair curly.
This is so similar to my story. When I was little my hair was straight with a wave and once puberty hit, that's when my curls started coming in. I didn't know why it was doing it so I kept straightening it and now I regret it. I'm still on the path to helping it get better.
I’m in the middle of my curly hair journey, and it’s going pretty well for me. I straightened my hair for about half a year until I decided to stop, because I noticed that it started getting really damaged. I stopped straightening my hair about a year ago, and I have only straightened it occasionally three times from then, and I think that’s actually pretty good. Over the 6 months, my hair actually hasn’t gotten TOO damaged, but it’s not completely healthy. I have done a keratin treatment almost 2 years ago, and I’m not even gonna bother going into detail about how much I regret it, and why I regret it. It’s honestly the worst thing ever!! I regret sooo much. I used to have veryyy thick natural curly hair and the keratin thinned it out. Half of my hair fell out, and now my hair is very thin. I started doing coconut and castor oil treatments, and I’ve noticed that new hairs are starting to grow on my scalp. I also stopped putting any products with silicone or solvated in it? Specifically moose. Ever since I’ve stopped adding these products, I’ve noticed that my keratin damaged hair is starting to get a bit more curls than it has before. I only stopped putting moose in my hair about two months ago, and it’s already helping!
I just started watching your videos and it has helped me so much in restoring my curly hair my hair got so damaged because of too much heat because I got so insecure of myself with my curly hair because my bf preferred me to have straight hair more it just got to me but I’m learning to embrace my hair again anyways love your videos !❤️
Gurl you're so hot 🔥. On another note I just discovered your channel and I'm super thankful for all the curly hair tips.
thank you so much!! I'm glad you are finding my videos helpful :)
I feel like my curly journey will never be complete as my hypothyroidism makes my hair brittle 😔 wish my hair was as gorgeous as yours! ❤️
OMG your hair is so perfect!!!! And you’re simply amazing!!! thank you for remind me to be myself and to keep improving what I am not changing and make it worst!
The picture of your Jan 2016 hair is how my hair looks like now. I’m hoping my hair will eventually become curly now that I’m actively trying to repair years worth of heat and color damage. Fingers crossed.
omg your hair looks so beautiful :)!
Ur hair is gorgeous 😭😍😍
Well i have a curly too. But i have never straighten my hair so my curls are ALIVE. In the beginning i hate my hair after 6 years , i try to use more organic stuffs like ogx and elseve ... And my hair is not perfect but there are so many little curls in my hair and these are soooo sweet. Dont forget to be kind for to your hair.
Your hair is gorgeous!! My biggest mistake is coloring my hair. I just can’t help it. I love colors? Unfortunately it hurts my curls. Love this!
You’re so gorgeous😭😭😭
Your hair is absolutely stunning 😍
you know in every single curly hair video NO ONE mentions the stupid baby hair in the front. As a child I had an afro of curls, my mom was not girly at all but did not know how to manage my curly hair since I got it from my dad's side of the family. She started blowing drying my hair out every day and it left me with loose spiral curls until I got to middle school and everyone knows straight was in so I would straighten it alll the time but it's not until I dyed my hair blonde that my curls were shattered. I actually started looking up ways to bring your curls back to life because of those stupid front baby hairs, my whole head would be perfectly straight and then my front hairs would stand up no matter how hard I tried to make them go downward. Obviously, I came to the conclusion welp maybe my hair is just supposed to be curly and I honestly miss my hair. So thank you so much for the inspiration and for making me think it is possible.
I'm glad you embraced it, you have great hair😊 I'm a year and a half into regrowing my hair after heat/dye damage. the push for me was after daily straightening since 5th grade and my hair never grew back to how long it was before I started.. and my hair wasn't even that long before anyway.. but I went to the salon and told her I didn't have much hair to lose seeing how it took me years of not really trying, to get to my upper back. so I told her a max of an 2 inches off my hair to layer it (it was way too thick to be that short)...and what did she do??? cut it and thined it before straightening it, and ended up with my hair barely over my shoulders and thin as fuck. I was sooo disappointed, but that was a year ago, and the last time I got my hair cut, I haven't dyed or straighten it, and I've had lots of oil treatments and vitamins I can gladly say my hair has grown at least 4 inches and is ALMOST as long as yours 😊
I can’t wait for the updated version I’ve been trying to get my curls back and your previous video did help me soooo much my hair is sooo hydrated compared to how it was before
but i need to commit and break the hair straightener habit time ! for me is sooo hard And to be honest I don’t know why I just curl it right after 🤦🏻♀️ but I’ve been straightening it 1 -2xs a week for the longest and I’ve cut it down to 1 x a week
So is your curly hair routine the same as your last one? I believe it was 7 months ago. 🙂 your hair seems less frizzy here
its pretty similar but there are a few changes and I will be making an updated video soon!
You do look beautiful with blonde hair but it’s not worth it to ruin your gorgeous curls! I’m on year one of curly hair recovery and I’m realizing how patient I have to be. It still doesn’t look like I want it to and I have a very short bob 😭 I tried to cut out the damage but now I kinda regret it
Your hair is HAIR GOALS!!!!
For some reason I love watching curly hair videos even tho I have straight hair, idk there's always more fascinating things going on in curly hair channels
My hair type is so so wired.When i was a baby i had blonde curly hair and when i was in second grade my hair became straight,i was straight until 4 grade.In 5 grade my hair was wavy so i tried to put a curly hair product my mom had and i was way more wavy i was doing that for a year and my hair became curly not how i wanted it but still curly.Now im going to keep doing what im doing and im hoping that it will be as good as yours or less but im not going to give up 😌
Omg this is exactly what i went through this is my first week not using heat im in 8th grade now and JUST relising that i actually have curly hair! i hope that i can get my full curls back 😬ive been dying my hair since 3rd grade and have straightened my hair everyday for over 4 years
I love big curly hair it’s just so beautiful 😍
You're hair is beautiful!!! I've been a CGM girl for about 6 months now, I believe!
I came across one of your hair videos, and thought your hair kind'a resembled mine (brown, some ringlet curls and some waves). But it sounds like your hair was a lot different than mine growing up. Mine's always been dark brown, and had started as ringlets (after having enough hair to grow them at least), but the curls had relaxed some when it got longer.
I guess I'm not super sure what my curls are supposed to look like now, since I'd been trying to discourage curls since I was nine. I had been made fun of for curly hair through school and had gotten really good at brushing out the curl while it's wet and having it dry reasonably straight. Now it seems like my hair doesn't want to curl as easily as it used to. But my bangs are coming out in ringlets. The rest is kind'a hit or miss. I want to think it'll look similar to how yours does in this video in a few weeks.
Straightening my hair has always been much easier than upkeeping my curly hair these days. From my youth till around my 20's it always did its thing well, but today is a much different story. I've gone from a 2c curl to a 2b curl /wave and I just can't seem to find my groove with it. The curly girl method totally doesn't work for me, It leaves me a frizz ball. I don't use heat, but when I did it was a frizzy mess. I live in Texas where the humidity is bonkers so I'm sure that's a big issue.
I'm kinda at my wit's end 😢.
You’re so beautiful, love you’re hair
Your hair looks amazing in this video!! Following you to get some tips for my hair ⭐️⭐️
I don't think I have extreme curls but idk anyway I always brush out my hair straight then then put it in a loose ponytail however on Thursday I left out some front bits and they got really curly. Looking like a damn slinky. My friend noticed this and practically had a breakdown about the 'cute wittle curl on my head'. She insisted on taking a photo. It was funny.
I have finally decided to take the curly rehab journey.. I'm on day three lol you're video is an inspiration. I thought my curls were MIA But I've bought a curl moisture mask and have started the process to embrace the curl. Fingers crossed
I’m so great full I came across your channel. It’s kinda funny because I also have green eyes and literally the exact same hair as you 😂. I can’t wait to learn more about my hair through your channel !!☕️
I love your outfit, I love your hair, I love your makeup, you're so pretty! 😭😍 #goals
