  • **Open for Products Mentioned** When you hair is transitioning from constant heat styling to your natural waves/curls it can be very very hard to get your curls to clump together. These are all my tips and tricks for really enhancing clumps! Keep in mind that really really big curl clumps can weigh down your hair and make your curl pattern appear straighter. But knowing these tips can help you get bigger clumps and then you have more control over how big your curl clumps are.

I just feel like its so time consuming and with my dyson, i can have my rib length hair blow dried straight in 15 minute, lol.

  • @ItsJustLisa
    @ItsJustLisa 4 роки тому +26

    I’m about two years into letting my curls be free, but only got my first dry curly cut in September. My previous stylist had been doing my hair for over 20 years and we watched it go from coarse and wavy to smooth and “holy cow, what happened?!”. We actually watched as the transformation moved up from the nape of my neck where she pointed out to a colleague that “it looked like I used the pink rods on her” (those are the smallest ones, I guess) to finally fully encompassing my whole head in about 4 1/2 years.
    What I didn’t know was the biggest mistake she was making as she was trying to control the frizz was using the thinning shears on my very thick hair. When I decided to try getting a dry cut, the stylist was sure to remind me that one cut wasn’t going to magically make the frizz go away because of the layerings M had done. I, in turn, pointed out that this first cut was like the first day of puppy obedience training. Some work was done, I was given “homework” to do as I navigate taking care of my curls, and the next cut will be lesson two of curl obedience training. Lesson 2 is in about 3 weeks, having given the remaining thinning layers a good three to grow out further. Wish me luck! My curls are 2C/3A with a few 3Bs.

    Thank you for creating your videos. Based on your descriptions of how your hair behaves, what it looks like visually, and the types of styling products you use, I get the impression that our hair texture and skin oiliness is the same. I appreciate knowing what someone like me could do to get my hair to clump nicely. Level 2 hair comes with its own special challenges when trying to create definition. Thanks again for sharing!

(I always did) This is a journey of acceptance as well, but I love rocking cherub curls and waves after years of blow drying. And a little frizz is NOT the end of the world, I've said I'm having a bad hair day and she's said no, I can't even see what you're talking about. Always seems like I get complements right when I need them. So thank you!

I was getting so frustrated with my hair and was about to get it cut shorter (my is is almost shoulder length, so I was just about to get it cut even shorter), when I saw your videos and few months ago and started the curly girl journey. I can tell that it is getting better with every wash day. I don't have a brush like what you use, but I do have and use a Denman type brush to distribute the conditioners throughly and to brush the front of my hair, to get it to clump and get my hair to part and off my face.

But anyways, I have studied your videos, and I watched your curl clumps 2.0 several times - and I got it! It wasn't so much needing to change the products I had been using, but changing my technique!

I know I watched a couple of your videos back when I started CGM about 9 months ago, but now that I'm out of transition I see that of all the curly vlogers I watch/follow, my curl pattern is probably most similar to yours, so I'll have to try some of your techniques and checkout more of your catalog. I'm trying to change up my routine because I think I'm at that point that what worked for me at first isn't necessarily what will work best now, 9 months in.

  • @ambersmith1697
    @ambersmith1697 Рік тому +5

    This video has been a game changer for me! Thank you SO much for putting the time and effort into making it and going into such detail about your routine. It was exactly what I needed.
    I stumbled across the video while searching for tips on getting and keeping curl clumps. With my high porosity, med density, fine 2b waves, I can get my hair to clump beautifully, but it's keeping the clumps intact while I flip my head right side up (I also wash my hair bending over the bathtub, rather than in the shower. Maybe that's why I found your video so helpful!) that I really struggle with. If i do manage to save a few of those precious clumps, they start falling apart as my hair dries. It always ends up looking stringy with small ramen noodle- looking Curls. That's the way it used to go.
    Now, however, I follow your video step- by- step, with a few tweaks to make it better suited to my hair, and I am blown away by the results!! My big, beautiful, fat clumps are still intact, and my hair appears very uniformal....uniformed..??. The Curls and waves are basically all the same shape and size. That's huge for me because my hair usually looks like it belongs to 6 different people. There is little to no Frizz! My curls are well defined, there's some volume at the root (but there can always be more volume, amirite?🙂), and maybe it's just me, but i think my hair is even a bit shinier than before!!
    Someone in the comments below said she had been focusing on buying and trying different products, hoping one would be The One, and hadn't been giving as much attention to application technique. That's EXACTLY what I've been doing! I've been spending crazy amounts of money on hair products and then rushing through my wash day. I was using the techniques that I had read about without understanding why they worked. I also haven't been paying attention to my hair...I wasn't listening to what it was telling me. But once I slowed down my routine some, took my time, and really took notice of how my hair reacts to different products/ techniques, it has made all the difference in my hair... and in my attitude about it. (I've been following the CGM for about 3.5 months, and have been on the verge of throwing in the towel for, at least, the last month). Seeing the results of following your routine has given me enough hope and encouragement to keep at it... at least a while longer. So thank you again! Keep doing what you're doing!

    Just finding your videos after a lifetime of straight hair which has now become about a 2b wave. My hair has completely surprised me and I’m trying to figure this wavy thing out! Thanks for the upside down tips-totally works and I’ve been looking for a good leave-in, so I’m going to try your rec, too. Turns out I’ve been both dry ‘plopping’ and pixie diffusing as it seemed intuitive. Gonna say that after a lifetime of straight that got weird and yucky with just about any product, I’m slowly integrating just a leave-in and an oil. Going to continue with the rest of your curl tutorials! ❤️

      Don't be. Curly hair sucks to take care of and most go throughout life wirhout figuring a proper routine out and making it look presentable. At least with stick straight hair you can brush it and be on your way.

      I thought I had straight hair. Then I had been keeping it in braid out waves. After about 3 months of doing it on repeat, I have random bits of hair forming ringlets and most of it being wavy even after being washed. It’s kinda wild.

    I'm so happy I found this video! First time trying your method, and I am LOVING my curls! I did a few things differently: I washed my hair and vinegar rinsed it the night before, wet and used Mixed Chicks leave in conditioner the next morning, then used home-made flax gel afterwards, all on wet, wet hair! I didn't use the "praying hands" method like I usually do, but the scrunch method; I think this made a big difference too, as I now know (through you) that the praying hands method loosened my clumps rather than setting them. I plopped for about 20 minutes, then left it alone for about a half hour. I then blow dried in sections, leaving the dryer on each section at least a minute. When about 90% dry, I stopped. After it was dry (using your finger testing method) I used Icon India Oil to scrunch out the crunch. OMG. My curls look wonderful! Thanks for the tips!! Your hair is great, by the way! :)

      it seems like a lot...but that is the purpose. you should just give it a try once. After its dry and casted, you scrunch out the crunch. Frizzless and beautiful! I use this method on my curly clients all the time. they are always shocked at how much product the hair actually needs.

      Low porosity hair just can't take a lot of products. I have low porosity hair. It's not very common and it's not like other hair (ie the hair of the majority of people) I think. I can only put on one product. If I put on more my hair gets very heavy and weighed down and feels and looks greasy and sticky, it doesn't matter which products I use. Low porosity hair just won't open up no matter what you do to it, so there's no way it's ever gonna suck up any product and the products just sit on top of the hair shaft and weigh it down.

I do have to fix some parts if they just don’t look right. I’ll just spray with a little water and restyle. It’s usually the front piece. My curls/waves like to go counterclockwise almost everywhere and almost all wants to be In my face! Lol 😂 its a love hate relationship... but when they are on point I do love my hair.
