Thank you for this video. I’m 53 years old and have always hated my curly hair because it always looked messy and frizzy. This video has changed my life! I love my naturally curly hair now. No hair dresser has ever taught me any of these tricks…no more flat iron for me.
Same!! No hairstylest ever taught me the tricks either and I've always said "I don't know how to style my hair curly". You think ONE of them would of helped us! I am SO excited to try her tips - I can't wait to see how my hair turns out. I'm 45 and have always struggled too. Your comment has given me so much HOPE! 😊
Uh… excuse me??? You, my dear, are AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your wealth of curl wisdom!! I am 55 and just this summer started trying to figure out how to manage my curls - been straightening my whole LIFE! I learned SO freakin much in the past ten minutes. THANK YOU!!!
I’ve blown my naturally curly hair straight my whole life only to have it turn to frizz when the Fl humidity hit. Now at 71 I’m just learning how to embrace my curls and it has really been a process! This video has been a big help!!!
OMG, I feel you on the "professional" hairdresser just destroying your curls to give them more "volume". The worst is how expensive the whole thing turns out to be. Not every hair salon knows how to deal with curls, a lot of them find it "weird" that I refuse to blow-dry it because I don't want straight hair. That's when you realize they don't know how to style curly hair. It's annoying, they won't be honest about not knowing but they will for sure charge you a ridiculous amount of money for the disaster they did. I'd happily send your video to a lot of them 😂 You're a lifesaver!
💯😩 I would say most hairstylist don't have a clue...Most with a capital M. I have never received an actual quality, helpful haircut in my entire life😳 And I live in the Seattle area. I'm finally planning to go to a curly stylist this winter. Wanted to long ago but couldn't bring myself to spend the money🥴 I cut my own hair but it's so much work and I'm too busy. I'm excited to see how much having a curly hair enhancing cut will give my hair an advantage of styling more effectively🤩
Tip: go to a salon that specialises in curly hair. I went to one last time I cut my hair and it looked so cute, they even recommended me products I currently use right now to curl my hair.
Would you believe I know some stylist who can give a great curly hair cut but still don’t understand the styling process? I have to remind my stylist every time I don’t want a blow dry before I leave the salon. Nor do I want to use any of the products they use on other clients. Sometimes it almost seems I have offended her/him.
I always get anxiety getting my hair cut. They always want to blow dry it and poof it out and put a tiny bit of serum in it and I'm always like, I'm good, I'm just gonna run out here with soaked hair, thanks! 🏃♀️
I actually prefer less defined hair with more volume and very small curl clumps and your "don'ts" just taught me some tips on how to achieve that. Thank you!!
Yea, I love the looks here ... 9:19, 9:31, 10:47 ... the hair is soft and voluminous ... may be a bit of the 80s, but hey, I am a gal from that era, and I still loooove those styles. I actually think that the contemporary super-defined curl pattern looks too harsh. But hey, to each our own, right?! 😉
@@ExtraordinaryLiving I used to style my hair like the "do's" section but I never had the volume I wanted, my curl clumps turned out too big and crunchy and it was way too much work to use different products and section the hair like that, only to have to do it all over again 4-5 days later. Nowadays I just apply some gel like she did in the don'ts section, scrunch it with a microfiber towel and dry it with the diffuser as she did in the don'ts. I now get soft hair with the balance of volume and definition that I like and it's half the work!
@@ExtraordinaryLiving I agree! Especially since my hair is very thin, when it's too defined it looks too thin. Gotta plump up the volume a bit and sacrifice some definition!
I've had stick straight hair for almost five decades! I was in a coma with covid & nearly died. I lost about 75-80% of my hair during recovery (post-coma), and it came back in EXTREMELY curly. I know this is not a unique story, but it sure had been a huge adjustment for me! I'm 49 years old, and I know NOTHING about styling these (now) MASSES of curls! So I was very happy to find your channel! 😂 thanks so much for all of the helpful, informational content! ❤
This is definitely not a unique story as since I had Covid the third time my curls have definitely changed. Now I have had mixed curls since I was nine-ten started not getting daily blowouts from my mom. But since my last round which was probably my worst, (Not coma but definitely bed ridden) I have way more ringlets to the point I had been straightening my hair for school but without any setting products so it would curl by noon.
I’m 65 years old, and you are teaching me so much! For years, I kept a brush blow dry style and struggled with straightening until I had thyroid trouble and my hair started thinning. Then, I went to a stylist who encouraged me to embrace what I thought was just enough wave to keep my hair always messy. I didn’t realize that I had actual curl until I got a layered scrunch and go cut, which gave great volume to my thinning hair. My curls always look wonderful when I leave the salon, but I could never get it to look like my stylist. I didn’t realize that I was causing my messy frizz by doing so much wrong, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
OH MY GOODNESS. You literally described exactly what I’ve been doing to my hair for 15 years. 🙈 these tips are GOLD. Thank you so much! Your curls are gorgeous! ❤️
Only another curly lady can know how life changing this video has been for my hair! That moment when it works and you just explode into a cloud of glitter ✨ I thought diffusers were a myth until this came into my life. Thank you for sharing the knowledge 💛
Oh. My. Goodness. I am 42 years old and have lived with frizzy, unruly, unpredictable 2b/c curly hair my entire teen/adult life. Usually putting my hair up as to not deal with it! I have I have learned soooo much from this video and am so excited to try these techniques and help my curls have life!!
I have been so afraid of wearing my hair curly because I didn’t really know how to do it. Your video has made it so simple! I love my curls now and I’ve gotten lots of compliments!!🎉
I was being lazy, taking shortcuts, and doing a lot of these “don’ts”! Thanks for the great videos. Seeing a huge improvement immediately (as I recently stopped straightening)! 😍
all i have to say is this video was soooo helpful everybody always tells you what to use in your hair but i feel like nobody explains how to use it i never even knew that you were supposed to let your hair get crunchy and scrunch it out later i wasn’t letting my hair dry properly and was getting super separated curls
I'm very new to the curly hair method and the stuff you've pointed out is exactly the kind of thing that people DONT talk about in other videos but I've been doing them for my first 2 washes and lost all the beautiful curls that started to form ! Thank you so much for this video, you look absolutely gorgeous 🥰 !
Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for this video! Been experimenting with CGM for 1.5 months after blasting my waves straight with heat my whole life. On Sunday I used a diffuser pretty much the "wrong" way you showed in this video and was so disappointed at the frizzy 80s-looking mess my hair turned into. I reset today with your method and my waves look so much softer and more defined. I really appreciate how you did things the "wrong" way here to show the difference.
I followed this today and am 56 years old with a lifetime battle with having naturally curly hair look messy and stringy and frizzy. I love how you don’t try and sell any specific product but educate about the procedure! And you don’t talk and talk about things that aren’t relevant or even remotely interesting but rather you drop helpful hints and suggestions through out the whole thing! Thank you!
This helped me realise why my once 2b/2c and some 3a pieces were so stringy and flat, I thought it was the products but it was me and my techniques. Thank you so much 😊
A like, a comment and a subscribe for breaking down the process in detail, and showing the different outcomes of (seemingly) small styling variations. Some women even use the Don't techniques (it seems to be a good compromise for thin hair, sacrificing some definition for the sake of volume), but now they understand what they are doing.
I have been doing curly girl method for a year, the bad part is I was putting in all my products in the shower with my hair upside down and defusing the same way. You taught me so much today. You are the first person who has been able to explain how to finger coil and use the denmon brush correctly. Thank you . I cant wait to use what you have taught me
Most well explained curl clump video yet! Diffusing the roots first makes sense yet that’s not how I’ve ever done it. Trying it out today and will update comment! Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re a life-saver! I’ve been struggling with my hair since quarantine, no salon visits and letting my hair grow out. I’ve got curls again, but I’d forgotten how to deal. These tips are gold. You’ve just gotten yourself a new subscriber 😊
You have given me the inspiration to actually try to wear my hair curly again. I have been blowing it out straight and flat ironing it for years and it’s getting old. My hair is dry and the frizz is terrible so thanks for the tips cuz now I know what NOT to do!
There are a few things you can do. You can try putting your hair in a “pineapple” bun (a loose bun on top of your head with the ends of the curls left loose), tucking your hair into a silk or satin bonnet, or using small clips to pin your hair up on top of your head to sleep. There are many UA-cam videos on the topic of protecting your curls when you sleep. Try what appeals to you and see what works best. Hope that helps!
@@alysha2162do you know any other methods I can look up? I’ve been struggling for years. Bonnets/scarves completely flatten my hair and make it oily, and my hair is too short to pineapple 🙃
Thank you soo much, I was desperate this whole day, washed my hair twice, couldn't get the styling right for the life of me. Have a new cut and it threw me off. This helped tremendously. Bless you!
This is so helpful. I don’t know how many videos I’ve watched and I can’t believe how many products I’ve purchased to try to tame the frizz. I just needed the basic technique and you provided that. Simple and effective. Thank you!
You are great at teaching about how to handle naturally curly hair! Myhair went from board-straight to very curly in 6 months. My PCP said it was my endocrine system. For whatever reason I am now curly haired, I am trying to figure out what to do with it. You have come to my rescue & I appreciate you very much! Today Im going to try your techniques & cross my fingers. God bless you for sharing!❤
Oh my goodness this is so helpful! I’m still figuring out having curly hair. Last fall I began growing out my hair after having really short hair for seven years. Curls! There were curls! I had some curls as a toddler but by age five I had stick straight hair. Now I’m learning how to have curls and I’m 62 years old! I love it! I am going to try these tips and this video gave me the courage to try diffusing again. Oh! AND I decided to stop coloring my hair! BIG learning curve here!
You are crazy!! Blow drying and straightening my hair takes like 15 mins top!! Styling my natural curls TAKES FOREVER.... But yes, I never knew if it was going to look cute or not. So I'm excited to watch this...
Your hair always turns out beautiful! It will be a year in July since I started transitioning. UHHH! It seems my hair never turns out right. FRUSTRATING!!!
Thank you for having such an in-depth video some people go from styling products to the finished look and there's no in between to show you how to defuse
SPECTACULAR advice! I’ve struggled with my naturally curly hair ever since my 50’s or so (hormonal changes?), and never understood what I was doing wrong. Turns out, pretty much everything I was doing was wrong! Now I can’t wait to try out all the new techniques! Thank you! UPDATE: just ordered every tool and most of the products you recommend through your links. I’d always used a 1875 W hairdryer and thought it was the most powerful they made, and never used the diffusers. But time for change! Lots of it arriving same day (today)! UPDATE: Ok, this takes practice to master. So far, I’m looking like a Medusa!
My hairdresser is great but she has straight hair and is clueless about styling my very thick wavy/curly frizz prone hair. I never let her dry it or I look like a frizzy mess. Now I undestand why I struggle with results. Can't wait to wash and style tomorrow!
I am a formerly stick straight turned curly in my 30s curly girl with a mix of curl types much like yours. A prayer answered, but talk about clueless! You should have seen me when half of my hair was stick straight and the other half curly. 😱 I've watched countless curly girl videos and you are the only one I relate to because we have the same curl types, same hair length and I am FINALLY learning from you! This video is pure gold! I'm a new subscriber and I notice you haven't posted in awhile, but you do have plenty for me to catch up on. I would love to see where you are today. Are you still enjoying those beautiful curls? What are you up to? Heck, I'd even be interested in some fitness tips for middle aged disabled women who can't do a lot, but aren't willing to be fat and flabby! I love your spunky personality and hope you will continue uploading content! I understand that you can only do so many hair videos. That's okay! If I can embrace what I prefer to call early retirement (disability is so negative!), you can embrace your next adventure! Best wishes to you! Thank you for saving my hair!!!!🥰
I have absolutely done all the donts for 30+ yrs! Your tips were easy to follow and got great results the first time i tried them! Thank you so much for making simple but fun videos for us to follow!😊 10:1510:15
This is a great video which explains things really well. I had straight hair my entire life until I was 28! It's now super wavy and curly and I have to completely relearn how to care for it.
Can't wait to try this. When I went to get my hair cut they did the don'ts with the blow dryer. I actually didn't let anyone dry my hair at the salon anymore. I actually don't even own a blow dryer. None of the curly hair products the salon put on worked, now I know why. I have found a technique that has been working to create curl clumps, I can't wait to try your style product suggestions, I guess I have not been doing it correctly. 😊
OMG. I've been searching for answers about my hair problems, specifically frizz, and you've literally showed me the reasons why. Also, we have the same face shape and curl type so I am considering the layered haircut you did on one of your videos. Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
I've recently started watching some of your videos and I appreciate your demos so much. I work with special needs children and for 7 years, I have worn my hair in a pony tail breaking the Mohawk section terribly. Recently I decided to brave the craze and start styling my hair like it was prior to pony tail crazy. I've subscribed!! Enjoy your tips please keep sharing. My naturally curly hair needs you!! 😉
I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to wearing my hair curly like I am right now! You left me blown away with your tips 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😭💖 im about to go wash my hair right now just to try all this!
That was funny and informative! I'm 65 and air dry my hair and have been 'aerating' it with my fingers as it dries. Now I know that is a 'no no.' I am so 'natural' that I don't like using a hair drier with a diffuser. The few times I did I also did that thing of 'shaking my fingers through my hair to see what was still wet and what areas needed more drying....My hair ALWAYS looks way wild...but I also sort of like this look...but it is nice to know I can have a more 'organized' and 'defined' curl look by not doing my usual routines! of 'finger fluffing!' Also, I DO Use a huge, heavy thick towel if my hair isn't dry enough after I use product...Didn't realize that too is a 'no no!' Thanks for the tips! I actually think your hair looks nice both ways! But I am a bohemian style person!
I really enjoyed this. I have tons of fine hair that I always thought was straight but just had weird bends & flips at the ends, baby hairs that would stick up around my face & ears & would get really fluffy when I blow dried. About 10-15 years ago I found out by fluke that if I scrunched my hair when it was wet, I'd get these 'S' waves & even some loose ringlets. I tried mousses, gels, creams, sprays, oils... everything under the sun, but could never get a single one of them to hold the curls and waves when it was dry without a crunchy flaky greasy heavy mess, so I gave up. At 43 I'm researching & learning things so I can try again with success, hopefully. I'm going to try the L.U.S. Brand's Love Ur Curls 3 step and try some of the techniques you've mentioned here because the results I'm seeing online with that system are incredible & these do's & don'ts will definitely help! One other tip I heard somewhere was to turn the power off on the blow dryer/duffuser before you pull it off the section of hair you're diffusing, place it on a different spot, turn it on and hold, turn it off and move etc. I read that it really reduces frizz caused by the air blowing the curls around as you're moving the diffuser. I have a question about gel cast... Once you crunch it up doesn't it leave white flaky bits all over your hair? That's what's happened to me every single time I've tried Gel and sometimes even mousse for that matter. Anyway, thanks for sharing this. Your hair is Fab!
I use a colander/strainer bowl instead of a diffuser and get better results that way. My diffusers always pop off the end of my blowdryer and got sick of it.
You are the best channel I have found. I have made all these mistakes. I'll add another mistake I have made. I always had frizz on the outside of my hair even if my hair underneath was defined no matter how much product or how many techniques I used. I added a blowout creme with UV protection. The sun was damaging my hair. It has made a huge difference using heat protection.
Thank you! I came across this video while searching for updos for my hair this weekend for my daughter's wedding. This has changed how I move forward with my natural curls. WOW Appreciate you sharing ❤
Thank you thank you!!! I’ve literally been doing all the dont’s my entire life. At last I’ve learned the correct way. Thank you. You have beautiful hair!
Thank you for the great tips. I’ve been straightening & flat ironing my curls for years. I want to try getting my curls back. I will be checking out the rest of your videos.
I am so happy I came across your video! I have wavy/ light curly hair but never wear it naturally because I never knew how to style it and actually like it. I tried your suggestions and technique this morning and OMG!!! A little light frizz but overall I am blown away!! I didn’t have a hair oil to use so I used my hair serum but think it weighed down my hair just a little. Lesson learned but still I am so so happy!!
As Im aging (61), my hair is more and more difficult to deal with. Thinning and less defined curls. I tried your techniques and they worked well. A little more practice and I’ll have the beautiful curls I once had. Thank you 😊
❤ I have to comment! I happened to come across your channel, and I just love your curly do's and don'ts tutorial! Thank you. And your wit and facial expressions kept me drawn! 😊
So funny! I came here because my hairstylist diffused my hair like 🚫 today. I felt like back in the 80s. 😂 She asked me if I blow dry my hair like this too and I (accidently) laughed and said "no" 🤭 I said that I look really wild and she responded "but look at the volume!" 🦁 But I don't blame here. My hair is very fine and thin and it's actually difficult to achieve the right balance between definition and volume. 🤷🏼♀️
I am excited to look for a denman brush now. I'm in my 50's and every hairdresser ALWAYS treated my hair as if it was straight hair. I always ended up looking like the swamp thing if I didn't wear it in a ponytail every day. I'm only just learning how to have curly hair. You use oil at the end to get rid of the crunch- can you use "frizz serum"/dimethicone? I can't use many oils due to added ingredients that I'm allergic to.
This was the best video ever I learned more in this video than I have in the hundreds I have watched. I hated my naturally curly hair and straightened it for 20 years and caused so much damage to my hair. Then I said one day I am just going to embrace my curtly hair and love how I was made so started following a group on fb and tried cgm. There is some that I go by but the cowash and all that I just can't do. I have to wash my hair lol. I did start washing a lot less and went from daily to 1-2× a week. But ty for making these videos and educating ppl such as me. And by the way your curls are freakin amazing. 😍
Hahaha! Done every don’t and yes same horrible end-result. And yet some days i don’t even know what I did and it turned out beautiful. Thanks for the tips and your curls are super. You’re beautiful
I've finaaaaally found someone with the same hair type as me 😭😭😭 just two days ago I did the "big chop" and I have nooooo idea what to do with my short hair. But I LOVE it and can't wait to learn from you 🥺
my hair suddenly turned curly once growing back since it went short and its been crazy afro frizzy, my dad said I look like Ken Dodd. And I only just realised that I need to start looking after the curls more, that I wasn't frizzy haired but infact curly haired! Thank you for helping me with the basics.
Thank you so much for your profoundly GENIUS curly hair tips!!!! I can't WAIT to try them out & change my old washed up routine into an actually consistently successful one, thanks to you ❤!! I really appreciate the no nonsense, easy to follow instructions. I'm definitely subscribing for more! Keep up the good work 👏
Wow! Thank you so much. I learned a ton from this video. I have been doing all the “don’ts” for ages. I tried your techniques and my hair looks better today than it has since pre-pandemic 😀 I found your channel while googling for honest reviews of LusBrand products so that video was very useful too. Based on your other videos I have realized I can use products I already own and just change techniques. Thank you for saving me money and helping me enjoy my curls again ❤️
I have very similar hair to you, I have fine 2c-3a hair and I use the pattern 9 row styling brush similar to the Denman brush, I love it my curls look beautiful but I feel like the brush pulls my roots and stretches them out and leaves me with no volume, would you suggest trying the denmen 7 row for looser curls?
So glad I found this video as I keep ending up with lots of volume and look like I’ve been electrocuted afterwards. Great tips which I’ll use from now on. Lifesaver!
Omg! I can see why I have curl problems! 😝 I’m eating your videos and I got my cake beauty kit ready to practice all of your tips! Thank you so much!!!! 🙏🏻

On Sunday I used a diffuser pretty much the "wrong" way you showed in this video and was so disappointed at the frizzy 80s-looking mess my hair turned into. I reset today with your method and my waves look so much softer and more defined. I really appreciate how you did things the "wrong" way here to show the difference.
I followed this today and am 56 years old with a lifetime battle with having naturally curly hair look messy and stringy and frizzy. I love how you don’t try and sell any specific product but educate about the procedure! And you don’t talk and talk about things that aren’t relevant or even remotely interesting but rather you drop helpful hints and suggestions through out the whole thing! Thank you!
Thank you! I have naturally wavy/curly hair and I’m just trying this curly girl method out. :)
Haha, ‘Keep your paws off your curls’ ! My number one mistake-always. Great video.
This helped me realise why my once 2b/2c and some 3a pieces were so stringy and flat, I thought it was the products but it was me and my techniques. Thank you so much 😊
I’m glad it helped!! Styling techniques really do make all the difference! 💛
A like, a comment and a subscribe for breaking down the process in detail, and showing the different outcomes of (seemingly) small styling variations. Some women even use the Don't techniques (it seems to be a good compromise for thin hair, sacrificing some definition for the sake of volume), but now they understand what they are doing.
I have been doing curly girl method for a year, the bad part is I was putting in all my products in the shower with my hair upside down and defusing the same way. You taught me so much today. You are the first person who has been able to explain how to finger coil and use the denmon brush correctly. Thank you . I cant wait to use what you have taught me
I am so glad to help!!! 💛
Same! Kind of relieved I don't have to do everything in the shower now trying to keep all the products and water out of my face!
Most well explained curl clump video yet! Diffusing the roots first makes sense yet that’s not how I’ve ever done it. Trying it out today and will update comment! Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re a life-saver! I’ve been struggling with my hair since quarantine, no salon visits and letting my hair grow out. I’ve got curls again, but I’d forgotten how to deal. These tips are gold. You’ve just gotten yourself a new subscriber 😊
You have given me the inspiration to actually try to wear my hair curly again. I have been blowing it out straight and flat ironing it for years and it’s getting old. My hair is dry and the frizz is terrible so thanks for the tips cuz now I know what NOT to do!
Question: How do you fix the squished, or matted bedhead the next day after making these beautiful curls?
There are a few things you can do. You can try putting your hair in a “pineapple” bun (a loose bun on top of your head with the ends of the curls left loose), tucking your hair into a silk or satin bonnet, or using small clips to pin your hair up on top of your head to sleep. There are many UA-cam videos on the topic of protecting your curls when you sleep. Try what appeals to you and see what works best. Hope that helps!
@@alysha2162do you know any other methods I can look up? I’ve been struggling for years. Bonnets/scarves completely flatten my hair and make it oily, and my hair is too short to pineapple 🙃
@@Momo-xm1nxtry putting small amount hir conditioner in a spray bottle with water. Dampen hair , rake and twist curls, air dry or dry with diffuser
Thank you soo much, I was desperate this whole day, washed my hair twice, couldn't get the styling right for the life of me. Have a new cut and it threw me off. This helped tremendously. Bless you!
This is so helpful. I don’t know how many videos I’ve watched and I can’t believe how many products I’ve purchased to try to tame the frizz. I just needed the basic technique and you provided that. Simple and effective. Thank you!
You are great at teaching about how to handle naturally curly hair!
Myhair went from board-straight to very curly in 6 months. My PCP said it was my endocrine system. For whatever reason I am now curly haired, I am trying to figure out what to do with it. You have come to my rescue & I appreciate you very much! Today Im going to try your techniques & cross my fingers.
God bless you for sharing!❤
Oh my goodness this is so helpful! I’m still figuring out having curly hair. Last fall I began growing out my hair after having really short hair for seven years. Curls! There were curls! I had some curls as a toddler but by age five I had stick straight hair. Now I’m learning how to have curls and I’m 62 years old! I love it!
I am going to try these tips and this video gave me the courage to try diffusing again. Oh! AND I decided to stop coloring my hair! BIG learning curve here!
I have curls,I straightener my hole life,but now I want try this, I love it. Time for change😊
I love this video. This is the 4th time I’ve come back to it to refresh my memory on how to make my hair look great. Thank you ❤
You are crazy!! Blow drying and straightening my hair takes like 15 mins top!! Styling my natural curls TAKES FOREVER.... But yes, I never knew if it was going to look cute or not. So I'm excited to watch this...
Actually i love somehow the „don‘t“ outcome. It reminds my of the 80‘s and Olivia Newton-John in „Grease“😅❤️
YUP I totally see that 🤣
Your hair always turns out beautiful! It will be a year in July since I started transitioning. UHHH! It seems my hair never turns out right. FRUSTRATING!!!
Thank you for having such an in-depth video some people go from styling products to the finished look and there's no in between to show you how to defuse
Your tip about sectioning before drying 🤯
And not touching the diffuser to uncast curls💯 THANK YOU💕
SPECTACULAR advice! I’ve struggled with my naturally curly hair ever since my 50’s or so (hormonal changes?), and never understood what I was doing wrong. Turns out, pretty much everything I was doing was wrong! Now I can’t wait to try out all the new techniques! Thank you!
UPDATE: just ordered every tool and most of the products you recommend through your links. I’d always used a 1875 W hairdryer and thought it was the most powerful they made, and never used the diffusers. But time for change! Lots of it arriving same day (today)!
UPDATE: Ok, this takes practice to master. So far, I’m looking like a Medusa!
What products are best for curly hair? I haven't find a good one. Thank you!
Your tips are amazing!
Look at her caption there list what you need
My hairdresser is great but she has straight hair and is clueless about styling my very thick wavy/curly frizz prone hair. I never let her dry it or I look like a frizzy mess. Now I undestand why I struggle with results. Can't wait to wash and style tomorrow!
I am a formerly stick straight turned curly in my 30s curly girl with a mix of curl types much like yours. A prayer answered, but talk about clueless! You should have seen me when half of my hair was stick straight and the other half curly. 😱 I've watched countless curly girl videos and you are the only one I relate to because we have the same curl types, same hair length and I am FINALLY learning from you! This video is pure gold! I'm a new subscriber and I notice you haven't posted in awhile, but you do have plenty for me to catch up on. I would love to see where you are today. Are you still enjoying those beautiful curls? What are you up to? Heck, I'd even be interested in some fitness tips for middle aged disabled women who can't do a lot, but aren't willing to be fat and flabby! I love your spunky personality and hope you will continue uploading content! I understand that you can only do so many hair videos. That's okay! If I can embrace what I prefer to call early retirement (disability is so negative!), you can embrace your next adventure! Best wishes to you! Thank you for saving my hair!!!!🥰
Thank you so much! I tried your technique and it worked. I'm 62 years old and never knew how to style my curly hair! Thanks for your video!
I have absolutely done all the donts for 30+ yrs! Your tips were easy to follow and got great results the first time i tried them! Thank you so much for making simple but fun videos for us to follow!😊 10:15 10:15
This is a great video which explains things really well.
I had straight hair my entire life until I was 28! It's now super wavy and curly and I have to completely relearn how to care for it.
Can't wait to try this. When I went to get my hair cut they did the don'ts with the blow dryer. I actually didn't let anyone dry my hair at the salon anymore. I actually don't even own a blow dryer. None of the curly hair products the salon put on worked, now I know why. I have found a technique that has been working to create curl clumps, I can't wait to try your style product suggestions, I guess I have not been doing it correctly. 😊
Love this video! I was cringing a little bit as I was watching all the don’ts lol
Oh man, I was cringing filming them!! 😂 glad you enjoyed it!!
OMG. I've been searching for answers about my hair problems, specifically frizz, and you've literally showed me the reasons why. Also, we have the same face shape and curl type so I am considering the layered haircut you did on one of your videos. Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
Thank you - I have similar hair to yours and have been straightening it for about 30 yrs !! I’m embracing my curls now & your tips are fab xx
Welcome to the Fit Curls Family and to the curly community!!! I’m happy to help xxx
I've recently started watching some of your videos and I appreciate your demos so much. I work with special needs children and for 7 years, I have worn my hair in a pony tail breaking the Mohawk section terribly.
Recently I decided to brave the craze and start styling my hair like it was prior to pony tail crazy.
I've subscribed!! Enjoy your tips please keep sharing. My naturally curly hair needs you!! 😉
I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to wearing my hair curly like I am right now! You left me blown away with your tips 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😭💖 im about to go wash my hair right now just to try all this!
That was funny and informative! I'm 65 and air dry my hair and have been 'aerating' it with my fingers as it dries. Now I know that is a 'no no.' I am so 'natural' that I don't like using a hair drier with a diffuser. The few times I did I also did that thing of 'shaking my fingers through my hair to see what was still wet and what areas needed more drying....My hair ALWAYS looks way wild...but I also sort of like this look...but it is nice to know I can have a more 'organized' and 'defined' curl look by not doing my usual routines! of 'finger fluffing!' Also, I DO Use a huge, heavy thick towel if my hair isn't dry enough after I use product...Didn't realize that too is a 'no no!' Thanks for the tips! I actually think your hair looks nice both ways! But I am a bohemian style person!
I really enjoyed this. I have tons of fine hair that I always thought was straight but just had weird bends & flips at the ends, baby hairs that would stick up around my face & ears & would get really fluffy when I blow dried. About 10-15 years ago I found out by fluke that if I scrunched my hair when it was wet, I'd get these 'S' waves & even some loose ringlets. I tried mousses, gels, creams, sprays, oils... everything under the sun, but could never get a single one of them to hold the curls and waves when it was dry without a crunchy flaky greasy heavy mess, so I gave up. At 43 I'm researching & learning things so I can try again with success, hopefully. I'm going to try the L.U.S. Brand's Love Ur Curls 3 step and try some of the techniques you've mentioned here because the results I'm seeing online with that system are incredible & these do's & don'ts will definitely help! One other tip I heard somewhere was to turn the power off on the blow dryer/duffuser before you pull it off the section of hair you're diffusing, place it on a different spot, turn it on and hold, turn it off and move etc. I read that it really reduces frizz caused by the air blowing the curls around as you're moving the diffuser.
I have a question about gel cast... Once you crunch it up doesn't it leave white flaky bits all over your hair? That's what's happened to me every single time I've tried Gel and sometimes even mousse for that matter. Anyway, thanks for sharing this. Your hair is Fab!
Thank u for tips finally I can dry my hair n keep my curls where was this in the 80s!!!❤
Thank you. My hair has changed so much since having kids and I don't know how to manage this curl frizz mess that I now have.
Amazing! Can’t wait to try this(I haven’t left a comment in literal years so that shows how much I appreciated this). ☺️
I use a colander/strainer bowl instead of a diffuser and get better results that way. My diffusers always pop off the end of my blowdryer and got sick of it.
You are the best channel I have found. I have made all these mistakes. I'll add another mistake I have made. I always had frizz on the outside of my hair even if my hair underneath was defined no matter how much product or how many techniques I used. I added a blowout creme with UV protection. The sun was damaging my hair. It has made a huge difference using heat protection.
As a guy who recently decided to grow my natural curls, this is extremely gold content
Thank you! I came across this video while searching for updos for my hair this weekend for my daughter's wedding. This has changed how I move forward with my natural curls. WOW Appreciate you sharing ❤
Your curls are beautiful. What is your routine between washes?
You comments were so funny. I appreciated the honesty. I realize some of my mistakes.
Awesome tips!! Yes, a hair stylist did the same with the diffuser on my curls. Eek. I was cringing!!
It hurts SO MUCH 😭🤣 at least we know how to fix it, right?!
Oh my goodness I used to crunch my hair while drying. No wonder it was frizzy. Thank you for the tips
Thank you thank you!!! I’ve literally been doing all the dont’s my entire life. At last I’ve learned the correct way. Thank you. You have beautiful hair!
I think you and share the same exact head of hair. TYSM for this invaluable video ❤
Thank you for the great tips. I’ve been straightening & flat ironing my curls for years. I want to try getting my curls back. I will be checking out the rest of your videos.
I am so happy I came across your video! I have wavy/ light curly hair but never wear it naturally because I never knew how to style it and actually like it. I tried your suggestions and technique this morning and OMG!!! A little light frizz but overall I am blown away!! I didn’t have a hair oil to use so I used my hair serum but think it weighed down my hair just a little. Lesson learned but still I am so so happy!!
Best description I’ve seen so far on any channel, thank you so much!
You're so right.
As Im aging (61), my hair is more and more difficult to deal with. Thinning and less defined curls. I tried your techniques and they worked well. A little more practice and I’ll have the beautiful curls I once had. Thank you 😊
My daughter has curly hair so these tips are super helpful. Thank you!
❤ I have to comment! I happened to come across your channel, and I just love your curly do's and don'ts tutorial! Thank you. And your wit and facial expressions kept me drawn! 😊
So funny! I came here because my hairstylist diffused my hair like 🚫 today. I felt like back in the 80s. 😂 She asked me if I blow dry my hair like this too and I (accidently) laughed and said "no" 🤭 I said that I look really wild and she responded "but look at the volume!" 🦁 But I don't blame here. My hair is very fine and thin and it's actually difficult to achieve the right balance between definition and volume. 🤷🏼♀️
Absolutely spot on. The best curly hair video out there. 🎉bravo!
Thank you for this video I have messed up my curls making them frizzy for many years and this is going to help me a lot
You are a Jem! Hair guro for curly hairs! ❤️
I am excited to look for a denman brush now. I'm in my 50's and every hairdresser ALWAYS treated my hair as if it was straight hair. I always ended up looking like the swamp thing if I didn't wear it in a ponytail every day. I'm only just learning how to have curly hair.
You use oil at the end to get rid of the crunch- can you use "frizz serum"/dimethicone? I can't use many oils due to added ingredients that I'm allergic to.
Thank you. I have watched many videos on curly hair. This one helps a lot. ❤
I quite like the frizzy curls, they look cool as!!
This was the best video ever I learned more in this video than I have in the hundreds I have watched. I hated my naturally curly hair and straightened it for 20 years and caused so much damage to my hair. Then I said one day I am just going to embrace my curtly hair and love how I was made so started following a group on fb and tried cgm. There is some that I go by but the cowash and all that I just can't do. I have to wash my hair lol. I did start washing a lot less and went from daily to 1-2× a week. But ty for making these videos and educating ppl such as me. And by the way your curls are freakin amazing. 😍
Hahaha! Done every don’t and yes same horrible end-result. And yet some days i don’t even know what I did and it turned out beautiful. Thanks for the tips and your curls are super. You’re beautiful
You give tips no other curly channel does. Much appreciated! I’m saving this video, thanks 😊
Oh wow, thank you so much!!! I definitely try to make sure I share what works that other curlies might not know yet! xx
This was super helpful. Thank you so much. Subscribed 👍❤️
I've finaaaaally found someone with the same hair type as me 😭😭😭 just two days ago I did the "big chop" and I have nooooo idea what to do with my short hair. But I LOVE it and can't wait to learn from you 🥺
Just found this video. My curl type is similar to yours. Thank you so much for posting these helpfil tips! 💯🔥🔥😇
This is good advice for any texture.
I love all your tips. I am going to use it today 😍 Wish me luck
my hair suddenly turned curly once growing back since it went short and its been crazy afro frizzy, my dad said I look like Ken Dodd. And I only just realised that I need to start looking after the curls more, that I wasn't frizzy haired but infact curly haired! Thank you for helping me with the basics.
Very well explained! Thank you
The best advice I have ever seen.
Thank you so much for your profoundly GENIUS curly hair tips!!!! I can't WAIT to try them out & change my old washed up routine into an actually consistently successful one, thanks to you ❤!! I really appreciate the no nonsense, easy to follow instructions. I'm definitely subscribing for more! Keep up the good work 👏
Wow that's fantastic results, awesome technique. Do you mind sharing the names of those products you used please, Thank you😊
Thank you ❤ been looking for a step-by-step.
Wow! Thank you so much. I learned a ton from this video. I have been doing all the “don’ts” for ages. I tried your techniques and my hair looks better today than it has since pre-pandemic 😀 I found your channel while googling for honest reviews of LusBrand products so that video was very useful too. Based on your other videos I have realized I can use products I already own and just change techniques. Thank you for saving me money and helping me enjoy my curls again ❤️
I have very similar hair to you, I have fine 2c-3a hair and I use the pattern 9 row styling brush similar to the Denman brush, I love it my curls look beautiful but I feel like the brush pulls my roots and stretches them out and leaves me with no volume, would you suggest trying the denmen 7 row for looser curls?
I‘m 53 and have been curling my hair all wrong. Thank you so much for your video.
So glad I found this video as I keep ending up with lots of volume and look like I’ve been electrocuted afterwards. Great tips which I’ll use from now on. Lifesaver!
What about air drying with an air dry cream? I have very naturally curly hair just to my shoulders with long layers.
WOW! Seriously you have beautiful hair - even the "wrong" technique still looks great! Thanks for all the tips!
Omg! I can see why I have curl problems! 😝 I’m eating your videos and I got my cake beauty kit ready to practice all of your tips! Thank you so much!!!! 🙏🏻
