So true what you said at the end...some of us with textured hair didn't know it for a while. I am mixed and thought that I just had fluffy/bad damaged hair growing up because that's what people said to me and my mom didn't know how to do my hair. Fast forward several years and I learned to style my curls and love them!
It's interesting how what we're told growing up can kind of become part of our identity even if it's not true. And that's so awesome! I love self-discovery and happy endings 😊
My daughter is biracial and I have done so much research about her hair care so she knows how to handle her curls and love them. Glad to hear you are on the same journey!
Same lol my hair used to be hell curly and now it’s damaged and it’s curly in the roots and the end are straight but also some parts of the roots are straight which is weird but I’m waiting I mean it’s been a year 🥺
This video has actually saved me. I bleached and straightened my hair for years, I’m mixed raced and I use to have gorgeous big curly hair I’ve used this products and I’m sooo happy. Thankyou so much for this
I really love you! I almost cried for the joy when I found you. My story is kind of the same. For years I was using straightener and bleached my hair in salons. 6 months ago I bleached my hair on my own for the first time and burned them all. Almost half of them fell. I am still really shocked and sad because they look really bad. I bought the products from lush because I really want to do exactly what you did and I feel like it's not working. I'm only on the 3rd shampoo with the products you used but they are still really really flat. No curly at all and I don't think the finger coiling is working. Maybe I should give up :( I will never get my curly hair back probably
Lucia Trombetta don’t give up there are so many other tricks and things you could use to help regain your hair. I recommend Shea moisture products they have so many different types of shampoos and conditioners for different curl types and ones specificities for damaged hair or transitioning hair and if that is too on the higher end (even for me) I would also recommend Aussie products they have a specific line for curly hair types and definitely recommend that. In general a lot of research on your curl types and testing what works best for you will help in the end though I know it’s very painstaking. Just take your time because not everyone’s transitioning period is that quick, give your hair time to work itself out and don’t give up too quick❤️❤️ wish the best for your curly hair journey
Please don't give up it will never be easy you won't see any result just like that you have to be patient and work hard all those years of damage won't faed right away just remember your not alone in your curly hair journey
Hey, just curious did you manage to restore your curls I’m in the same situation rn so I’m on this video but if it didn’t work for you idk if it will work for me 😢
Woosh Woosh hellooooo I’m very sorry if I’m replaying so late! I just read this message for the first time! I wish I did read it long time ago as the product from lush never worked on me and 2 months ago I discovered Shea moisture and my hair now look amazing! Thank you so much for the message ❤️
We must have very different hair because heavy creams and oils weigh my hair down which is just what I need, and to go with one product or no product -- I would just be a fuzzy frizzy ball with my hair standing on end so that wouldn't work for me. I'm mixed race with black and Cuban but my mom was scots-irish with dry thin hair so couple that with kinky curls and you get hair that needs a lot of product
Absolutely! This won't work for everyone because we're all different 😊 So many factors, like porosity. My hair is very low porosity so that's probably why this worked so well for me.
@@AmandaBicket You are sooo lucky. I think my hair is the most porous possible and that's probably because I color it even with a gentle color (Ions) but it's always been highly porous and soaks up odors and water and frizzes when I even look at water, so I can't use water to refresh or I might as well just get in the shower and start all over. I wish somebody would do a video for Kinky-Curly porous lightweight hair. But I'll try some of those things you say are really heavy. I think in a disaster or an earthquake, I will find whatever I can like lotion or olive oil to put on my hair if I have to! Or maybe I'll have different priorities lol If you have any other tips for hair like mine, feel free!
mandyinseattle There are a lot of videos out there for high porosity natural hair. I actually came to the conclusion that I’m in the middle. Middle porosity, density, thickness , moisture everything. I’m going back and forth on every ones video trying to figure it out. 😑 ✌🏽
Wow glad I finally found a video that gives advice.. all I hear from other UA-camrs is their journey but I’m looking to hear someone give me advice 😩 I’m glad I found this! Thank you so much.. I used 450 heat for a whole month! Thought okay I want to go back to my curls and now every time I use curly hair products my hair goes back straight 😩😩😩 I literally cried but I will take all of this advice! 💓
This is honestly so helpful for me! I’m 14 and in my family only my dad had curly hair but he has short hair so I never learned how to look after my hair type and I’ve been doing literally everything wrong. I only just found out through a friend who also has curly hair. Because I didn’t know how to look after it I would just straighten it everyday and use shampoos with silicone. I always wondered why I used to have ringlets and now I don’t and this is why. Thank you so much for this video💗💗💗
I can totally relate to that! Growing up, my sisters and I had no one to look to for help with our hair because it was completely different from everyone else's in the family. I went through the same thing! I'm so happy that you found the video helpful 💗 I wish you the best of luck on your hair journey! XX
I had always have naturally full curly hair but when i was younger i didn't like my curly hair but i still wore it. In middle school i started using heat on my hair and i started using it frequently in 8th grade. My curls soon were starting to become straight right now my hair is curly but underneath the curls i have way straight hair and i tried every curling product and i had a lot of split-ends and i tried to trim it but i'm not trying to go shorter, my goal right now is to grow my hair and get my curls back.
OK so I'm using henna and it seems to have relaxed my curls a bit. Have you heard about this? Apparently amla can help. So I bought some. This is uncharted territory! Ah! haha. And you're so right about Shea butter! That stuff isn't good on my hair. Big nope.
Oh no! I didn't know that was a thing that happened. It's always advertised as "natural" and even "good" for hair. Let me knw how it goes with the amla!
I joined a henna Facebook group and some curly girls have an issue others don't. But also my hair is down to my waist! 😱 And I'm still trying to figure out my itchy scalp issue. It's a PROCESS for sure! Lol. I just really appreciate you because you're so encouraging and I know I can figure this out. 😊
@@trishpipkins it depends if it's pure henna. Most henna products contain a lot of chemicals. If you do use amla , really check if it's just that. A lot of alma oils have ingredients that can straighten your hair. :)
Yasmin sheamoisture is a great go to. All sulfate, paraben, and silicone free there. Can be found at most targets and Walmart’s. Not your mother’s curl talk is sulfate, paraben, and silicone free and some other products for the most part. Curls from target is also good. Target has an awesome selection for those. If you’re at Walmart or Ulta, Maui moisture has a great selection for dry hair.
Love this video Amanda 😇. I'm working on my curly hair journey m I started a month ago from straightening my hair. This video was VERY helpful. Thankyou😘
I really miss Niya, like really! She's the cutest and the smartest toddler ever♥️ when are we going to see her again? Won't you do vlogs anymore ? i loved your vlogs !
Aw thank you 😊 it's funny Alex and I were just talking about our old vlogs last night. For contract/work related reasons Alex can't be on the channel or on camera in general. As for Niya, I'm on the fence about putting her face online again. I know it's a thing a lot of people do but I am enjoying the privacy of not vlogging atm. But that could change. We shall see in the future!
Exactly, my hair is sort of damage From it, so thats why i stoped doing them i still have aloooooot of hair on my head, but it's very dried out, and it's not cute at all, plus to add with that my hair has alot of dead ends at the bottom so, that's why im trying to look for videos, to fix it😭😭
Hi! What is your current routine? I find that finger detangling helps instead of using a tangle teaser to give more volume. Also using lighter weight products helps to not weight the hair down, so a mousse or just using one product. I hope this helps!
I've made this video on getting more volume 😊 ua-cam.com/video/NkdwPuUT-w4/v-deo.html as for shrinkage that has a lot to do with the kinds of products you're using and how you style your hair. Your comment has inspired me to make a video on shrinkage 💖
Woah I had no idea my hair had silicone buildup, but the way you described the hair and they way it feels and behaves I realized I have that exact problem. Like majority of my hair won’t curl and it’s rough feeling and very tangly and it just won’t curl at all, I’ve been washing and conditioning and using sheamoisture hair treatments and braided my hair down and wearing wigs while I’m waiting for my hair to heal. I can’t deal with it the way it is, the heat damage came from me wanting my hair straight for a while and I colored it while I was straightening it constantly. My hair was so incredibly damaged all of it became pin straight when I wet it for the first time. It’s been months and my hair is partly curly now. This is half because of my new growth and half because the under section I didn’t dye, and the curls are coming bath there. But everywhere else is barely getting a little wavey. Is it bad for me to be braiding it down and not touching it for a week, and wearing a wig? I’m scared to cut it because my hair was cut when I was younger and I hated it curly and short so much I straightened obsessively and it was incredibly damaged my whole life. Two years ago I big chopped and I was miserable until it started getting longer. But I was really determined to embrace my curls again. I really don’t want to loose length I just want the hair to heal and go back normal and I will wait for as long as it takes. But some people say I should cut it regularly and that will be better for my hair, my hair doesn’t grow very fast so I’m really hesitant. I’ve gotten it cut about 3 or 4 times since I stopped damaging it. can I just keep doing what I’m doing and incorperating the sulfate free products to see faster progress?

Same girl and my hair is still a little bit damaged I want my curls 💔

I like the leave in myself
This is one of the best videos out there.
Wow your hair looks great after 21 days of #rehab. Some of my subs are in the position you were currently in, im gonna guide them to this vid🙌🏾🙏🏾
Thanks so much Juwan! 😊💗
You can use a clarifying cleanser to get rid of silicones. Like apple cider vinegar diluted or a clarifying shampoo.

Just
I bought shea moisture conditioner and I now use it on my feet.
LOL! This is something I would do too 😂
This brand weighed my hair down so bad . I just tossed almost brand new products
What to do for grey hair ?? I want to avoid any chemicals hence the question.
This goes against what so many other people suggest and.. I kinda like it. I feel like the products I'm using are too heavy for me.
I was waiting for this😭
I've been meaning to make this video for almost a year 😆
Can i use diy hair mask while I fix my hair
I saw the original video and subscribed immediately ♥️ I'm so happy to see your progress!!

U should do a video on the products u used to get curlys back
Hi, very informative video. Question- is olaplex chemical free? I want to use this but I’ve been chemical free for over a year now. 🙂
Did you revive your straight bits?
Can I be able to use olaplex N.4 on my hair?
Do you know if coconut oil would be a good oil to use for curly hair or is it too heavy?
You are inspiring me so much! Thank you.
What is that in the background? It kept distracting me ☺
I am the 520th people to click your video. 520 means "I love you" in our town
