SILICONES TO AVOID, investigate anything that ends in xane, cone, conol and col. There are a few fragrances that are ok that end in one (so confusing)Here are some common silicones:
- dimethicone
- amodimethicone
- cyclopentasiloxane
- cyclomethicone

you have beautiful hair.
i'm a 35 year old bearded guy who's going bald.
i have no idea why i just watched this video, youtube is a wicked place.
if, at some point, you decide you've had enough....i can teach you how to shave your head, let me know.

This is my best viewer comment yet!! I don’t know, if I ever have a Brittney Spears circa 2003 moment ... I’ll DM you!! Haha
hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂 your comment just made my day 😂
haha you are a funny guy
Hahaha love this comment!
1:28 don't use sulphate, silicone, parabens, mineral oil, waxes, and drying alcohols
3:51 don't use any heat
5:01 fight frizz
don't dry your hair with a terry cloth towel
use a satin pillowcase instead of cotton.
10:28 have patience and be motivated
Honestly, the tip of putting hair gel in the shower is something that really encouraged me to wear my hair curly. I’ve tried the plop method, the silicon and sulfate free shampoos and conditioners, and eliminating heat but for whatever reason I couldn’t figure out how to eliminate the frizz and get curl definition.
Thank you so much for simplifying the method and products to use when first starting out.
Thanks for watching !!
Newest curly on the block. No more straighteners.
You can do it!!
Curly Susie Hello:-) I'm just starting!! hair a little crazy at the mo but I'm going to stick with it!! and it's quite liberating to be free of straighteners and damaging hair products!!! I have always had frizzy hair and it's very thick!! but I can see curls forming on the root and bottoms of my hair but the middle just wavy,do you have any advice on what to do ? thanks Susie any advice would be great thank you:-)
Great tips! Thanks from a woman who has had good hair days by accident, likely when using cooler water, I now realize thanks to you. It seems like a lot of work, but honestly, I’m working hard right now, and not satisfied with the results. Maybe i can unlearn bad habits and try some new ones. I have avoided the CG method since it seemed that I’d need to jump in with both feet. But I’m gonna try the ‘two things’ and see how it goes. Thanks for posting!
I am happy to say I decided not to give up on the Curly Girl method. So I've continued using the sulfate free shampoos/conditioners. I now use the Tee Shirt instead of towels. And after watching more of your videos I've tried the "casting" with gel. And I now scrunch, scrunch, scrunch, let air dry. And slowly my curls are "remembering" to bounce back!
Even my neighbor who is use to seeing my frizzy, out of control dry mess of hair has commented on how beautiful my hair is looking! My hope is in a month or so my natural curly hair is gonna look amazing. And it's already starting too! All these years I fought against my curly hair by flat ironing & curling with a curling iron. All because I didn't know how to work with my natural curls.
I'm so happy I found your videos!! I have you to thank for teaching me the correct way to handle my curly hair!! 💕
Thank you so much for your comment. I was you almost a year & 1/2 ago now & I will never go back. I’m not going to lie, I’ve had a couple of bad hair days, especially In my early stages of trying new techniques and products but my hair is a million times better. I watched one of my first videos today & I can’t believe the difference in my hair since then.
Keep it up! You’ll be very happy you did ❤️
It's so hard to have a natural frizzy and wavy hair 😭 too much work
I feel your pain, but once I figured out the CGMethod it was a game changer!!
My daughter (age 11) has your same hair type, and your videos are AMAZING! I’ve never dealt with curly hair before, and she’s getting to the age where she really cares.
Your videos are easy to watch and understand. We watch them together and try out your tips.
Thank you again for posting! ❤️
I am on day 11 doing the curly girl method, I am so encouraged by your videos! In this short time of 11 days, I find that my hair is finicky...great days mixed with not so great. I'm going to keep going with it because its sooooo much easier to do my hair now! I absolutely love that part. And, I know my hair will only get better and better!
From all the videos for curlies out there, yours are the ones that I learned the most. Thank you for taking the time to do them. I will begin my journey in a couple of days. Looking forward to having my curls back and watching your videos. 🙏🏼
I love how thought out your videos seem and can really tell the care and effort you put into them. Thank you!
Thank you Kaitlyn!
I'm planning on starting the curly girl method soon, and your videos are great! This one in particular was a good one to watch. I was getting confused with how to start, and this helped clear my confusion and I'm now feeling more confident!
You should 100% do it just get yourself a good conditioner, do your final sulphate wash & give it a try 💜
I’m so thankful for this video. I have just started investing in my curls again. Knowing there is a 2-3 translation period makes me feel so much better.
Thank you so much for your straight forward, clear, down-to-earth approach to letting hair be curly!! (Also, have now watched a ton of your videos and you truly have the most gorgeous accent.)
Thank you Erika!! What accent?? Lol
I'm so glad I found this early video, I have been watching your videos since I began the cgm about 6 weeks ago. .seeing how you began has really helped. Love your hair..love your videos thank you
Thank you soooo much. I am trying to follow cg method recently...and I was sad and demotivated looking at the list of costly items people use for defined curls. your method just worked like wonder... I used diy flaxseed gel.. And I am loving it😍
I'm older and am letting my hair grow out. Glad I found you. I'll give it a try, but right now, I'm discouraged. Thanks for posting. Yes, it is motivating. Just had it cut all one length. I don't think it's a good way to cut it, but it's what I hoped would work. I'll let you know.
Wow, I am impressed with you video. I’ve watched a bunch of CG method videos and yours is so easy to understand for a newbie. I have long, thick, wavy (2a/2b) and UNRULY hair, just discovering CG and it can be overwhelming. Subscribed :-)
Thanks a million :)
Thanks Susie! I have decided to embrace my curls and have just started my curly girl journey. Your videos are very helpful.
i have finally started and i started because of your videos. thank for making the transition so simple. 😊
You have inspired me. I have tried everything and was just about to give up. Thanks for sharing.
No problem Tammy!! The cheapie products always work better for me.
So gonna start doing this!!!thank you so much have always had curly hair and wondered how to take care of it. Now my daughter has the same hair and we struggle. So thank you so much for this!!!
I love your simple breakdown of the curly girl method! Def gonna try it!, thanks!!
Love this video! I just started my curly journey and I definitely needed the tips and encouragement!
Love the video, thank you. Simple and encouraging. In the third month of my CG journey and was getting discouraged, so thanks for sharing.
Hang in there Ariana! How is your hair coming along?
I'm brand new to this and so overwhelmed! SO many products out there!! I am determined though - because exactly like you, I used to flat iron EVERY day and my hair is so bushy and damaged. I quit the flat iron about 2 months ago, but now trying to figure out how to get my hair at it's healthiest and quit the hair dryer too. Aaak!
So glad I found your channel!!! So excited to get products and start and get my curly hair on! My hair is a disaster. Frizz curl/wave doesn’t know what it wants to do.
The hardest part is not taking a hot shower to wash my hair. I loveee hot showers :c
Kyomi I don’t know if this would work for you, but I wash my hair in the kitchen sink. That way I can do a cold rinse and enjoy warm showers without wet hair all over everything.
Amy
I've actually been trying this. It works amazing C:
MEEEEE! Uggh
Kyomi i will ONLY take cold to lukewarm showers. no exceptions.
i grew up in denver, and weirdly enough, have ended up in texas. i hate the heat with a burning passion, and it might as well be hot year round, with no more than three weeks of cool temperatures. the only escape i get is the wonderful feeling of a cold shower.
@@_iamnotsober
Lmao my situation is completely opposite XD we have longer winters in Jersey and I can't stand it so i love taking hot showers. Can't wait to move somewhere with warm weather 😭
thank you so much! Barely starting. 2nd day over here and I was doubting myself of doing this.
Thank you so much. I’ve used your method for four days and had compliments on my curls and my hair every day. That’s never happened before. Wow! 🤗
YESSSS!!! Thank you for letting me know. I remember when it first started to really work for me, it's exciting to get your curls back. This is the whole reason I made these videos :)
Curly Susie It’s such a huge difference! 🤗
I find so awesome that there is a channel dedicated to this. I hope it helps me, since I am a men with not so long wavy/curly hair
I have that book and follow her tips and tricks. You hair looks beautiful!
Great hair! (And great accent 😉) I appreciate the low cost recommendations. I was a devacurl user for years but now being home with twins I won't justify the cost. I also just found Down Under at Walmart for $3!!! I'll check out the gel at Sally's. Trying to find Conditioner and gel comparable to Devacurl has been frustrating to say the least. My hair loved it but the amount needed daily and cost of $60 a litre is crazy. Thanks so much for your video. Much love from Ontario Canada (with family in Glacé bay lol)
Thanks Amanda!! Are you a maritimer??
Curly Susie I'm born and raised in Ontario but my parents are both from Glacé Bay. Mom lives there again now that she's retired.
You are the second UA-camrs I've found looking for a particular topic (curly hair) and the accent made me stay lol. I also enjoy Jenna Catherine (NB) for natural beauty products. It's so refreshing to hear the perspective of a Canadian since there are so many Americans mentioning products that we can't get our hands on or are outrageous in price.
You do know the term down under is Australia? Could you check to see if it’s made in Australia..yes I am Aussie :)
Just starting on my curly girl journy at age 30. I always thought I had stright to wavy hair but turns out I actually have curls O_O So happy though, I always wanted curls!
Thanky uo for this informative video, I'll check out your links.
Hi Neaira! So glad it was helpful & congrats on your curls.
Thank god I stumbled across this video, this helps soooo much! I've tried everything to get my curls to look decent. I am going to adopt this routine and see if it helps. :)
Good luck Emily!! Let me know how it goes.
Do I hear some Nova Scotia in there? I am in Toronto, but I have family in Glace Bay! I stumbled onto your video, while searching around for a curly hair routine. I love finding other Canadian UA-camrs! I love your content. Thanks for the tips!
Hi Laura! Im from Cape Breton. Everyone thinks Im from Glace Bay because of my accent but Im actually from Sydney :) Thanks for watching.
Last Minute Laura 2
Last Minute Laura is what my family has called me ever since I was little 😁
Curly Susie I knew I could hear a bit of Straya in there! Do you know good products to buy in Oz? I just moved there and I don’t know where to go as no Afro shops where I live
And then realising you meant Sydney Australia ^^' but there are some words you pronounce like the weird people down here
Thank you so much for the video indeed, i could see how much you wanted to help us and get all what u have learned and discovered through to us. Not everyone that caring.That was very helpful to start getting my curls back. And you look so pretty. Ur face looked very beautiful and healthy. You have a wonderful day.
Thank you so much Asmaa!
I brush my hair when it's dry before the shower. It's satisfying and effective and when I wash it it goes back to the way it sits normally. I never hear people suggest this, but it feels like a clear solution. Some people think it breaks more when it's dry, but I definitely think it breaks more when it's wet. I tried not brushing my hair, but it's so much more satisfying to run a brush through it.
yeah same I have 2a/2b/3c hair and I saw that you're supposed to brush when wet but for me I would brush it when wet and it would weigh down everything and pull my curls apart. So basically now I brush it when dry but with a wide toothed comb, not a full brush
Your hair is gorgeous! Thanks for the tips. One thing I found that has saved my curls is aloe vera gel. It is the only product I use now in my hair after I wash it (I only wash with silicone, sulfate, etc free and I only wash it a couple times a week). No alcohol added, just the stuff you use for sunburns. It is absolutely AMAZING! I add some before I pat it dry and run my fingers through it then scrunch my hair with a little bit more. Most days I just dampen it with a spray bottle and add a little more Aloe. My curls are more defined, it doesn't weigh it down, they are soft and bouncy. If I use too much it feels crunchy so I just dampen my hair and it's all better. I never thought of using a Tshirt instead of a towel that's a great idea.
Thanks for the comment!! I’m going to try the Aloe Vera Gel!!
About to start my journey...you’re inspiring! Thanks x
Thank you for helping me to love my curls!
Basic is good. There are so many very complicated videos for curly hair. Thank you!
Today I took a shower with my normal products- garner fructose. now I am switching to a natural shampoo and conditioner. I have put away the hair brushes, straightener and blowdryer and I am starting the curly girl method.Your hair is beautiful I hope mine looks that good! thanks for the encouragement!
Your hair is beautiful! I never imagined using gel on my hair. Frizz on the top layer is my problem, so I’ll definitely try it.
Hi Marie!!! Gel is my “must have” product for the last year. Sometimes you have to excitement with amounts... if your hair dries hard... it’s an easy fix, just scrunch out the crunch. There are lots of videos on this. Gel should be alcohol free. This one is great but I LOVE Biotera Alcohol Free styling Gel from Sally. It’s amazing.
Very very helpful! Thank you!
So grateful for your videos! Thank you 🙏
I am just so excited to watch your videos because any time I looked for anything, I never found anyone with hair that looked like mine. Yep, just a white girl with wavy/curly brown hair lol
U r sooo good girl :) so motivated now :) I just had a baby girl, therefore have less time for myself.....but I’ll try...I’ll try for sure :) your hair looks super cute.
Thank you so much Lena!
You're really into yourself in your hair that is very awesome you look beautiful
I have the same hair as you and thanks for the info 👍👍👍👍
I'm so happy I found this video. I used to be a really curly little girl, then they cut my hair and I lost my curls; leaving a weird frizzy mess... When I was a teenager with all the "taylor swift" curls I tried to get them back, and I did! but I don't remember how I did it, Then I decided to cut my hair in a short bob and I lost my curls again... And now my hair is long, waaay too long, and I notice it wanting to curl A LOT, but I didn't know how to help it ( I almost never straighten it, I just put it on a bun or a ponytail) and now I'll try the things you said and hope for the best!! I'm subscribed now :D
Love the sound of your voice.
Hey Rachel! Thanks so so much. Everyone from CapeBreton talks like this & I didn’t know it wasn’t interested until I started UA-cam.
I LOVE your hair! I started embracing my natural curls. I don't think I'm going back!
Your hair will only get better & better with time!! 💕💕😍
I started the curlt girl method in july this year. My hair used to be dead straight with a slight wave after i washed it and i would curl it everyday with a straightener. I chucked my straightener, silicone conditioner and sulphate shampoo in the bin and bought natutal conditioner and shampoo. Since doing the curly girl method my hair curls beautifully especially with the help from gel and curl mousse. I'm still way off from having effortless curly hair due to the constant damaging and colouring that i have done in the past, but im so happy to be natural again. My hair also seems to grow quicker since i dont damage it anymore which is a wonderful bonus.
wow! I LOVE your hair!!!
Thank you so much Lily!!
I'd love to know more about how you stopped using shampoo. Does she have another video on it? Thank you for making this video. :) it's simple and not burdned with products.
Oh my gosh I have a very similar curl pattern and I use the same styling products as you!!! Just leave in and gel
Your videos are exactly what I was looking for and even a practical Maritimer, to boot (Haligonian here). Thank you!
Thank you so much Sussie.... your video really motivated me to go on CGM. its only my first day as a CG. wish me luck guys...
I love your hair!
THANK YOU I LOVE YOU this is a very simple straight to the point video
i suffer from full frizz puffy curly hair and its just a mess to keep up with that i end up cutting it since i m a guy and thats "the simplest" solution for me
thank you for this amazing video
One of the guys in my Bro’s band just started following the CGMethod & his hair looks awesome. You should try it!!
I ll 100% do my best to get the best hair possible
thank you SUPER MUCH
So HAPPY that I found you.
thank you so much! i just did my first wash today, and for the first time, my hair isnt frizzy when its dry!
Love the info...thanks!
Thanks for the positivity Bonnie!
Thanks for posting this. I've been going through this transition over the past year. I've been trying different products and see what looks best. I have a collection going. Lol ❤️. I will try finger combing in the shower next time. I use a wide tooth comb, and I do comb the tangles out but my hair seems stringy when I do that.
i love your videos and your content! but mostly, i love your accent!!! i went to Acadia and MISSSSSS this east coast SO MUCH!!! Much love to you and I hope some of these techniques start working for me!!!
oops under my husbands account... lol xoxo Kat
Congrats, Im thinking to start to use wavy hairstyle. Of all videos for this this is the most complite and simple video. Thanks. Greetings from the Dominican Republic..
Oh my goodness I am sorry I only discovered you now but thank you!!!!! You are a gem lady. I will be following you from South Africa :)
Hey Juanita!! Thanks a million :) I’m still shocked that I have so many people watching from different parts of the world.
Thanks for commenting
You are so funny and spontaneous, you explain everything very well and you seem to be a wonderful woman and mother! Your channel is awesome! Although I am Brazilian and my English is not so good, I am very happy to have found your channel
Hey Yoko! Your English sounds perfectly fine to me ❤️ thank you so much for saying Hi all the way from Brazil.
Curly Susie ♥♥♥
I'm starting to question whether I have wavy or curly hair. My hair has like a semi wavy pattern with some weird curls and a lot of frizz when is air dry, (I too use heat on a regular basis) so I'm gonna follow your recommendations to see how it goes. Thanks a lot for the video.
I have straight hair but as I get older, Ill get 1 random curl right in the front and my mom and brother have curly/wavy hair. I want to see if this makes my hair a little wavy but the CGM is so daunting. This is helpful!
I turned 30 in June ‘20 and my hair always looked basically straight with a very very mild wave. My grandma had curly hair, my mom has wavy hair, and my dad has straight hair. Then in early October ‘20, I started noticing a little section of hair on the right going wavy. Like even after I’d comb it, the wave would stay. So after doing some research, I started applying some of the techniques, and now the waves are gradually taking over both sides. So far, I’ve just been consistently using a T-shirt instead of a towel, and squishing in my conditionner, and not combing after it’s dry (I do that in the shower). I haven’t figured out the next part yet, all the gel etc stuff once you get out of the shower, but I bought flaxseed today to make gel. I actually need to get it cut, maybe with some layers, it’s too long for the waves to really come out, I think
Great informational video!!! Thank you soo much
Thanks for watching!
Hey! Thanks for this! My hair turned curly when I was pregnant and I didn't know what to do with it. I kept my normal routine but my hair was kinda big and weird. I made some mistakes with coloring but have already been taking good care of my hair since I want to grow it out. I have an appointment tomorrow to get the last of the dye cut out. So I get a fresh start! I use shae moisture moisture retention shampoo and conditioner on my hair and typically just oil my hair with argon oil or coconut oil and I never use heat. Hopefully there won't be a transition period. I will say that I dried it with a t-shirt today and it was still super wet but it already looks better!
You inspired me to go curly girl. Great channel!
I’m really gonna try this because my hairs been frizzy my entire life and I didn’t know about the silicone and sulfate products!!! I really want to have a curly hair ://
You 100% should. Just know there is a transition period where your hair doesn’t look great while it is remembering how to curl!
Curly Susie thank you so much for the tips!!!
Hi Suzie , I love you curls ! My curly hair is not something I’ve always had it’s only been the last 10-15 years and I am still learning how to deal with it . The top of my head seems less curly and I do most of what you’ve suggested however , I use a hair towel not a t- shirt is that my problem?i also do not have a silk pillow case .
Thanks for your help !
Heather
Watching you for the first time. And about 3/4 through your video I was like man......she sounds like a newfie! Low and behold I am reading comments and bam....a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 I am in Vancouver 😊
This was so great! I've fallen into the rabbit hold of the cg method...all I wanted was to find a beach spray that doesn't make my har feel filthy but now i'm wondering what would my hair look like if I tried this....so THANK YOU for breaking down the cg method in a way that's not nitpicky or overwhelming! Love, a fellow Canadian
Hey Lacey!! I know all about the UA-cam rabbit hole lol
Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for replying!!
Hi Lacey!! The only way to know for sure is trial & error. It the Silicones are truly water soluble you should be ok. When I FIRST started I had a Biolage conditioner that had some of the “peg” silicones in it & I used it until the bottle was empty. My hair was in rough shape back then so hard to say if it made a difference but I have to say that I didn’t really have a problem with build up... that wasn’t a great answer but hope it helped. Just try it??!!
Your Canadian accent is so thick omg i love it !!!
I have coily curly hair and cutting silicones made a huge difference in the health of my hair. That plastic coating was keeping moisture from getting into my follicles. I already used silicone free shampoo and conditioner by lucky chance but I found out that my deep conditioner masks all had silicones! So basically none of my leave in conditioner or styling products were able to penetrate and moisturize my strands. After switching to silicone free deep conditioner my hair is way more moisturized. I do however use a styling mousse containing water soluble silicone as a final step because my hair is color treated. It doesn't require shampoo or clarifying to remove. You can Google a list of soluble and non soluble silicone types, but even still just know that you are suffocating your strands until you wash it out.
I do all of this. Changed my shampoo three months back. Unfortunately still looking for a good conditioner. Having chronic dandruf makes it very difficult to find products that won't irritate the scalp. However I have noticed that just swapping the towel to a t-shirt makes a hell of a difference.
Monika Sethi let me know if you find something that helps with your dandruff! I'm just starting and haven't left my head and shoulders behind yet. :\ my scalp gets greasy and itchy when I don't use it.
My daughter has thin curly strands but a ton of them and dandruff. When she was little we used Dove products on her hair but we had to switch to Head & Shoulders. Then as she has hit teenage years her oil production has increased (as has her dandruff) and her dermatologist said we had to keep up with the H & S. Our hair stylist didn't have a good recommendation for curly dandruff suffering either. Curls tend to go with dryness - not oily.
Curly Susie, thank you for your videos! Do you still only use conditioner and gel and does conditioner really cleanse the scalp? Thank you again!
basic practical video very useful thank you! Other videos made me head spin
loooove ur hair
Thank you Lauren :)
thanks for the information.my hair is long and straight but tangles like you wouldn't believe.lm doing all I know. thanks so much.do you have any further information,please help
Did you ever post your video of the transition? I think it would help with the motivation to see your "before" pic. Your hair looks gorgeous and your tips are very practical and concise. Thanks for helping all us curlies who have been battling our hair our whole lives!
Your hair is beautiful!!!
I hate how I need to pay 2-3 times more for actual healthy products for my daughters curly hair... we also stand for hours in front of shelf’s at the store only to find 2-3 bottles out of 30... we all should demand these corporations to go healthy instead of temp looks that’ll damage our hair! We deserve it... thanks for the vid💕
Bless you, darlin!
The first easy step by step and to the point video! Thank you for taking the time to share! My hair is terrible, growing up my hair would be brushed out into a frizz and tied up in a ponytail then a plait, now it's frizzy curly but still meh. I want to see if the curly girl method will work on my hair!
I used to usually straighten my hair once a week - nowadays I'm just too lazy because it's never perfectly straight anyway. I do have one question though, eventually if my hair is as lovely looking as yours, would it be ok to straighten it now and then? Say once a month? (if that) Thank you again!
I love how simple your routine is. What conditioners do you recommend for cowashing the scalp and hair? I have a similar curl type (2C/3A) and am worried about an oily scalp if I start this method. Another question! I work out as well and find that if I don’t wash my hair afterwards (currently using shampoo), my scalp feels itchy from the salt/sweat. Do you find that conditioner washing helps to cleanse the sweat and prevent itchiness in the scalp?
Yes, I work out often & I also run so I sweat a lot! Conditioner washing is the way to go. I have to use a light conditioner or my hair gets weighed down. I like Down Under Naturals NUDE, Garnier Naturals & V05 Naturals (all inexpensive) you will be so surprised ... conditioner washing won't make your roots greasy (I was skeptical)
Thanks for the tips! I have a suspicion that my scalp may be itchy from using sulfates in the winter. I only wash my hair 1-2x a week at the moment and the itchiness gets worse the longer I prolong my wash days. I'm considering this method cause I don't want to have to shampoo my hair every single time I work out. I'm hoping this works out
I hope it works out as well for you as it has been for me!!
@@CurlySusie how often do you wash your hair? And how often do you run/work out?
Been using a Fructus conditioner with no silicone in it and it does make a big difference. I'm going to try not to use shampoo and see how it works out.
Hi 😊 great video, I'll have to try this method, I have super thick, wavy, unruly hair, about the same length as yours and I have tried so many products and I can't make it look good while loose. I have one question, how do you wear your hair when you work out? I tie it up in a ponytail, but that means I have to brush and comb, and it would be nice to have a way to avoid that
Great video and beautiful hair! I have fine, wavy, frizzy hair. It is more flat in the back with an under wave. I think I have a "2A" hair type. I need some advice on products. I was about ready to buy a boat load of expensive stuff and thank goodness I found the Curly Girl info. Given Amanda G's problem below with Devacurl, do you not recommend it? What other product should I try. Also, have what they are calling "High Porosity" hair and need to use anti-humectants in climates, like here in Richmond, VA. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
PS: Go CANADA!
This helped so very much! Thanks for letting me know that it takes awhile for the curl to come back to normal...for now my hair is not looking so great. I'm also experimenting with different products to restore curl definition and reduce frizz but not finding one I like just yet that doesn't leave my hair feeling gunky or heavy.
Thanks so much for watching! My advice is to start with just conditioner & gel & experiment with the amounts until you perfect that ....and then build from there :)
I'm also having trouble with the don't comb it when it's dry thingy...my hair looks like an old mop right now, especially when the gel dries in it. If I don't at least TRY to separate the strings it just looks like a dirty, brown mop. When I do try to gently separate it with my fingers or a wide tooth comb, it breaks the wave and gets frizzy anyway. I'm thinking the gel, no matter how little I use, is a mistake. It just makes my hair feel and look heavy and dirty.
I just bought the Biotera gel today, I was afraid to use too much but I guess I didn't use enough because I'm pretty frizzy today.
If you use too much, you can always scrunch it out. Did you put it in your soaking wet hair in the shower???
Thanks for such a good advice 👍🏽🙏
Thank you for watching Maria!!
I knew you were a caper like me as soon as I heard your voice. Not a strong accent but enough to hear the “home” in your voice. Just starting this process now, thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for watching Beth!! What part of the island are you from??
I am in Sydney as well. So nice to be watching a local doing this. 😊

I would suggest Love UR Curls from Lus Brand, applying it to sections with lots of water, which activates it. I got great curls without all the work mentioned in this video. I was able to have tight defined curls yesterday but today, I used the same product to smooth my hair and used a curling iron for wavy curls.
I am starting the CGM method. Your vids are so helpful. One question though. Immediately after your final wash do you apply an approved deep conditioner?
Thanks for this! Oddly enough, I don't seem to frizz, and I've never tangled, ever.
