    For anyone having to do this longterm, you might try putting your products in pump bottles. That's so much easier to get out one handed.

      Pump bottles are essential for me whenever I have hand surgery or for another reason have to be one-handed for a while.

      currently have a very new broken dominant arm and was wondering if a pump would be easier or harder so than you for that! my fave gel is in a pump. I feel like wash day seems much more doable than was putting it up. which has been fairly impossible so far. 😭

    I couldn't lift both of my arms for months for a neurological disorder...I couldn't even wash my teeth by myself and I lived alone...but I figured it out how to do EVERYTHING! For washing my hair I had to sit on the floor in the shower and put my elbows on my knees and moving my head around because I couldn't move my arms. What a struggle were those months!

    Omg felt this one! Broke my dominant (right) arm a few years ago and needed surgery! There was several weeks of washing my hair with a plastic bread bag rubber banded over my injured arm haha! Also learning to do other everyday things like eating and writing(!) was so hard. I also quickly learned contact lenses were overrated haha... I'm also a professional violinist so thankfully my arm recovered and I could play again! But it was definitely a scary and frustrating time!

    I had to have shoulder surgery on my dominant arm, washing was easy, trying to put my hair up in a scrunchy was rough lol. I brought the side pony back into style or walked around looking like a fraggle lol. No matter who stopped by i handed them my hair tie so they could fix it for me

    • @alysonknop8395
      @alysonknop8395 3 роки тому

      I had shoulder surgery on my dominant arm about 6 months ago, and frankly everything is still difficult, but that's partly because I didn't have a total joint replacement but need one. The hardest things for me are reaching the back of my hair or the opposite side of my head. Also, I can't plop because I can't reach the back of my head to secure it.

    Thank you so much for doing this!! The only things I did different were I used the scalp scrubber to spread the shampoo evenly and I used my gel in small increments in order to spread it a little more. I did diffuse twice in that time and the diffusing was exhausting!! Good job on experimenting what it was like!!

    I'm a leftie too and a few years back, I was in a car accident and lost the ability to hold anything on my left hand. I think being a leftie helped me successfully use my right hand (though somewhat cumbersome), because the world is designed for eighties. Lefties always make due. Writing and eating were the worst of it though. Luckily at the time I was still straightening my hair at the salon.

    I honestly think this wash day turned out really nice. Looks less stringy in the back. I feel like when you rack all your hair off the back of your head in normal wash days it breaks up your curl clumps. Less manipulation in this wash day helped it look more full.

    Courtney, I think you can appreciate this as someone who has RA (though I hope and pray yours never gets to this point): my RA (severe, have had it since childhood) has left my once-piano-playing hands gnarled like the Wicked Witch of the West. So in addition to shoulder limitations and fairly regular hand surgeries, I have hands that just won't make fists. Squishing to condish and scrunching to get curl clumps are really tricky for me. I do my best, but let's just say my results are never like yours. :)

I started watching your videos a while back because I’m thinking about doing the curly girl method, I have wavy hair I also have cerebral palsy which affects my left hand so I generally wash my hair with the one hand only and I can style my hair with one and a half hands (because I can hold things with my left hand but I can’t brush or put in the products with it I have to use my right hand that’s why it’s only one and a half hands 😂😂). Anyway I just wanted to say you did a very good job and this is from someone who always has to use one hand while styling and washing her hair. Take care and have a great day. ❤️

    That looked hard! They have blow dryer stands. (Looks similar to a microphone stand with a strong clip...look on Amazon.). So, if diffusing is super important to you, and you’ll be without the use of your hand for a long time, might be worth it...

  • @flaviopons142
    @flaviopons142 3 роки тому

    To diffuse you could just put the blowdrier on a horizontal surface, get in front of it and drop your hair on a towel like for plopping. I think it could be easily done on a bed, maybe to complete the job if your arm got tired.

    I’ve injured my right (dominate side) shoulder, lived through radial nerve damage in the right arm throughout 2020, sliced the tip of my middle finger on my right hand off back in 2007, couldn’t use the hand at all during the first weeks of bandaging. And pinched a nerve in my left arm in 2018.
    PUMPS. I bought product in pumps. LOL.
    And definitely air dried but I already do that.
    Not easy. But you were entertaining. 😂

    Broke my elbow a few years ago. I quickly realized my left arm was useless! Lol

    If you wear shorts, you could have used the top of your knee to get the shampoo, conditioner, and styling products out of the bottles. It would be easier to scoop the products from your leg than trying to get the products on your one hand. 🤷🏻‍♀️. You did great though! 👍🏻

    Definitely want to see the straight hair with one hand.

    I feel like the bowl method might be useful if you only have use of one hand.
