l like this video. From what I understand, the brush isn't meant to curl your hair, it's meant to gather your strands into "curl families' or clumps, to help define the curl pattern you naturally have. I have been on a similar journey. My hair does the same kinked telephone cord trick now and then. I have learned to ignore it :o). Curlsmith products are great! Like others have said, try to do your hair routine on soaking wet hair, adding more water with hands or a spray bottle, as needed. This will help with more evenly distributing the product. You can always remove excess moisture later, with a microfibre towel. Trust the process, your hair will do better with things that don't work for others and vice versa. My most important lesson in my wavy/curly hair journey was to stop trying to get the same results as others who had different hair than mine. I could admire their curls and waves and also my own, even if they were not identical. I have low density, fine, 2a-3a waves and curls. Small amounts of product and just using one or maybe two products works best for me. Let your hair show you how it likes to be! Try not to rely heavily on product to achieve a result. It's only there to support what you already have. I wish you well in your journey. Your hair is truly beautiful. I hope you learn to love it more and finally find that goldilocks routine. Thanks for the video!
Noooo wwaaayy, I don't often know of people whose hair does the twisted telephone cord thingy!! Ahhhahah hopefully I will learn to ignore it too. and to love it more. I am trying :D I love your kind words and your wisdom and will go back to reading this comment on my bad hair days.. thank you so much for stopping by!
@@HenloHomeI thought I was alone in many of my hair struggles too. Thank goodness for UA-cam, though I have to say it can also create unnecessary envy or a false sense of need to try a product in the hopes it will give me the same results the user gets. Embrace your natural self. Who you are on the inside will shine through. Be yourself…….everyone else is taken.
Chloe, thank you for this! 1. Start with wetter hair. 2. Use either curl cream or a leave-in conditioner (sparingly) all over your hair. 3. Follow with a mousse if you have any, if not, who cares. 4. Perfect gel choice! Follow Curlsmith directions, work gel throughout your hair, then use a brush (I'd use the brush you're demonstrating) thoroughly distributing all products you've applied. Brush upside down too! 5. Style with tha Bounce Curl Brush and then diffuse just the way you did here Maybe you could record it? I know this curly hair illiterate would LOVE to see how this might change your results. We always get to see how perfectly the influencer's results are, but what about us??
Hey there, great video!! It sounds like we have similar curl patterns. I would suggest using a spray bottle to keep your hair soaking wet and section your hair when you’re putting your product in and then using the brush. I use a spray leave in conditioner with heat protection then I use a curl cream. After doing the brush I apply a mousse and then a gel. Then I diffuse. You will definitely find a technique that works for you in time!!!
I have started changing my hair routine 1 1/2 months ago and I have been struggeling sooooooo much. It's so nice to see that I am not alone with my problems. I'm so frustraited at this point :') but this has motivated me to keep learning and to keep going! Thank you :>
I JUST started embracing my natural hair and the struggle is so real! I'm so happy we can support each other throughout our (frustrating at times) journey
You're hair is soooooo much like mine! Mine is just a little thicker and a tiny bit more wavy/curly. I am also new on this hair journey and just bought that brush. It's a process and can be very frustrating at times. I think I'm going to start keeping a hair journal and write down what I did to my hair that morning (if I washed, what products I used, etc.) and the results that day. I think right now I may be using too many different products and not giving any a chance to really work. Also, I'm never going to get comfortable only washing my hair a couple of times a week. I work with children under the age of 5 and am covered in germs each day. I definitely need more of a wash and wear routine. I like Curly Susie - she does a wash and wear routine for people who have to wash their hair more often. Good luck and thanks for making this video - it is refreshing to see a beginner try put these products.
oohh a hair journal sounds like a great idea! I'd love to hear how that goes. Amazing work you're doing with children at such a young age :) i'll have to look up Curly Susie -- I also have times where I need to wash my hair more often and I don't know what to do! thank you so much for watching and commenting~
Just to say - anyone with poodles is ok by me 🙂 I like the 'real' vibe of your video! Kia ora from New Zealand where our weather is a great test of products/brushes/equipment etc. We can go from wind to heat to snow to rain and everything in between especially in our current spring. 🤭🌧🌞⛱I have just discovered my wavy self after *censored* years on the planet. I'm waiting for both Denman and Bounce Curl brushes to arrive, plus I have spent about a gazillionty seven dollars on products over this past week. Keep up your lovely energy! ♥
Your hair is super similar to mine. I have a few tips: wide tooth comb in the shower while rinsing so you’re smoothing down the hair with the water. Then only lightly blot the water out with a microfibre towel at the bottom of the hair - again to keep it smooth and naturally clumped. Put in *all* your products by sectioning the wet hair and use praying hands - don’t scrunch. Squish with the towel again if ends get too wet. Then go through with your brush to style it. Air dry or use the diffuser by holding it on the side of your head - never scrunching it up into the bowl. Dry it to like 80 or 90%. Only then if you want some volume, flip it over and use the diffuser on the underside of your hair - it should fluff up when you flip it back over, but avoiding the scrunching other people do. Scrunching makes my hair a tangly ugly mess.
I JUST bought a wide tooth comb because of your comment... it arrives on Saturday and I can't wait to try it! I honestly have been afraid to try diffusing without bunching it up in the bowl because I'm so afraid it will dry really loose and not structured. But I am open to not having my fears met... I won't know til I try it! Thank you for all your suggestions, I will try it out!
One suggestion for you- I hope it helps! If you feel that the gel is sticky, it could be pulling the hair strands away from each other (creating frizz) as you scrunch. You could try applying it with wet hands or to hair that has been freshly dampened with a spray bottle. 💛
I just want to say that although we have different hair typing I can 100% relate to your struggle in high school because I didn’t know how to take care of curly hair. I literally paid for multiple Brazilian blow outs for straight hair and got told all the time people pay for your curly hair lol. Only since the pandemic did I start learning how to style my hair. No more flat ironing!! Thanks for this video you said some very real things that made me feel less alone in this world
Right!! Goodness I am so happy we found each other... some people do not understand lol. Incredible that you do not flat iron anymore! What a journey, huh? And it's not even over. I'm so glad I found folks who can relate, it also makes me feel less alone XOXO
I was looking for opinions on this brush, so your video was very helpful to me. I do have a Denman brush, but don’t use it very often. I may have a bit more curl than you do, and my hair is 90% white now. I have had fairly thick, silky soft hair that is just fuzzy frizz. I only learned that mine was curly about four years ago. I think that if you shake the strands a little harder and follow that right away with some upward scrunching, it will work better for you. I agree with others that it needs to be wetter, too. You may want to hold the brush vertically as you make the strands. I think it will make your hair into more coils.
Loving this video! Mine is just the opposite! I have coils around my neck and waves in the back and top. Recently I have grown a white streak on each temple.😆 I too have been trying to embrace my curls. They developed in my 20s. And YES I know how the same clump goes clockwise then kinks and goes counter clockwise... Like a 1983 phone cord. Best of luck on your curly journey!
Thank you for this video. I am trying to learn my curly hair and I’m watching all of these videos to get tips but this is the first one I’ve seen of someone who isn’t a hair pro. By pro I mean someone who uses these tools and their hair comes out perfect. I know it takes practice and I’m going to put the work in and I’m sure you are doing the same. Thank you for this video
Aww thank you so much! Honestly I was kinda embarrassed because I'm such not a pro, so the fact that the video resonated with you made it so worth it. Putting in the work is right... I hope we both find a routine that works for each of us soon!
oh no i just bleached and colored my hair lol! aww thank you, i know gray hair is really pretty and so many women are going natural. i will return back to it one day
See the gel and mousse are such a personal hang up because of the tacky sticky icky nature of it, but it seems to really make a difference. Thanks for this. It feels good to hit a video that is really relatable. ❤
So glad you made this video. I feel like I’m not alone! I have struggled with my hair since it turned curly in middle school. I’ve always just scrunched gel in and went on my day hating my hair. The last year I’ve learned different things to help me learn to love my curls (ie. Learned to diffuse, learned to use products) via UA-cam which wasn’t really around my younger years. But I struggle with how to section hair and not good with the different techniques 😊
We are in this together! Oh, the olden days (pre-internet, or at least, pre-widespread educational content internet) were tough... I'm glad we found each other! Best of luck
there is a hair stylist that does UA-cam videos. she puts her gel on using what she calls prayer hands. You put each hand on opposite sides, you start at the top and lightly touch you hair,, you dont pull or push hard on it. She has a lot of video's on hair and she explains everything. you did a great job on your hair. looks great. thank you for this video.
You did great! 👏🏻 It's a huge learning curve and you will get there! It's just a matter of figuring out what products/combination of products work best for you. 😉 I have gray, fine wavy/curly hair and I get the best results by applying products in the shower, just before I step out, when my hair is sopping wet. At this point, I'm pretty much only using a curl cream but sometimes I'll use a little gel or a mousse/foam, too. I'm sure since this video is from a couple months ago, you're much more comfortable styling it by now! ❤
definitely not more comfortable by now *cries* applying products in the shower is a good tip! I'll try different things out, I have curl cream and mousse also, I am still experimenting like you said on what combo works. thank you for your advice and vote of confidence! I am sure I will find my way. (eventually lol)
I suggest that you watch more videos because you did not apply the products correctly and your hair was not wet enough. You should section your hair into small sections to apply the product and apply it from roots to ends. Also, it did not look like you angled the brush correctly to get the clumping that you should have been able to achieve with using that brush. I’m glad you saw positive results, but a more practice will give improved results. We all have gone on a journey to learn our hair and how to live in harmony with it. Fare thee well in your hair adventure.
@@HenloHome mousse is more for wavy hair much lighter product, gel is heavy it will most likely weigh the wave down unless you purchase a. Light weight gel 🙂
When your hair cools down from the dryer touch it, especially at the roots, as gently as possible. If any part of your hair is cold, it’s still wet. Also, try using k18. It really helped my curls come back. You can use conditioner with K18 so long as you wait 4 min first, then add conditioner and let it sit then rinse and continue to style as normal. best of luck ❤
OOoohh good tip on the cold hair, I will try that! Oh I had bought K18 but a little small sampler thingy -- I could definitely use more of the leave-in. I didn't think of using conditioner after the K18, I think that will help too! Thank you for stopping by
Good video. I am a curly girl and can remember people telling me when I was little that they would kill to have my hair! All I could think of is that I would kill to have straight hair😂 My first piece of advice would be not to have your hair so dry when you’re styling it… It needs to be more wet. If you take it down out of your towel and it has started to dry, spray it down with water before you start styling/adding gel. Secondly, I don’t recommend Bounce Curl products/styling gel creams for your hair type. Your hair is like mine and it is too fine for the Bounce Curl products. The lady that owns Bounce Curl has very thick course curly hair and she designed her products for people with hair like her. I recommend that you check out Gina Marie’s UA-cam page and her website. Her website is awesome. It is all about helping people find the right products for them. Gina Marie also has fine low density curly hair even though she says her hair is coarse feeling. I believe that you need lightweight products that won’t weigh down your waves yet still give hold. If you watch enough of Gina’s videos, you will find products that will work for your hair type. You’ll want to try a styler with some slip to it (you mentioned your styling gel felt sticky). Try Giovanni’s Curl Jelly or perhaps a mousse by Not Your Mother’s. Good luck…you’re on the right path. And just so you know most curly girls don’t get the same result twice since the weather is a big part of our curls.
Thank you for the Gina Marie rec -- I'll have to check her out! Oohh I have a curly mousse by a brand called cake. I have to learn how to use it. I was hoping it'd be a lighter version of gel but I need to do some more experimenting, it still doesn't come out quite right. I wish I could just use curl cream and have that be it but I think that's asking for too much lol
LOL you are so sweet! Oooh heads up they came out with the volume brush with more lines / divots on the side after i purchased this one, if you think that might be a better brush for you instead of this exact one... Lmk how it goes and if you've got any tips!!
If you want to know how Tiktokers do their hair, some of them have UA-cam channels. Sophie Marie shows you how to go from wet to dry and beautiful. But also it’s not realistic to expect ringlets when your hair is a different hair type. Having realistic expectations for your hair will help! Good luck on your journey
Thank you! Whoa I just looked her up and realized I have seen her before from her bowl method videos but didn't know her name or how to find her again. She is beautiful
I think I must be a long lost sister of yours too. All of your hair struggles sound exactly like mine 😂 I hate it!! The brush doesn’t seem to work for me. I get better results using tips from Swavy Curly Courtney’s you tube videos. She goes into great detail how to get the best frizz free curls.

The diffuser is heat, but it’s not direct heat. It’s more spread out therefore less damaging. 😁

I think this kind of comb is perfectly fit for curly fam.
Definitely watch more tutorials. You have beautiful hair, you just need to tweak your routine.
I will, thank you for saying that!
Could you BE any cuter? Been on the fence about getting this brush because I'm a hair idiot, too. Think I'll get it. Your hair looks great!
LOL you are so sweet! Oooh heads up they came out with the volume brush with more lines / divots on the side after i purchased this one, if you think that might be a better brush for you instead of this exact one... Lmk how it goes and if you've got any tips!!
Grab an oil that you rub in your hands to scrunch out the gel! Also after awhile your curls will start to learn and curl on their own
Oohh my K18 oil sounds perfect for this... Thanks for the tip! I'm excited (and anxious) for my curls to learn
Looks good you did well
Thank you!
If you want to know how Tiktokers do their hair, some of them have UA-cam channels. Sophie Marie shows you how to go from wet to dry and beautiful. But also it’s not realistic to expect ringlets when your hair is a different hair type. Having realistic expectations for your hair will help! Good luck on your journey
Thank you! Whoa I just looked her up and realized I have seen her before from her bowl method videos but didn't know her name or how to find her again. She is beautiful
I think I must be a long lost sister of yours too. All of your hair struggles sound exactly like mine 😂 I hate it!! The brush doesn’t seem to work for me. I get better results using tips from Swavy Curly Courtney’s you tube videos. She goes into great detail how to get the best frizz free curls.
Hello long lost sister!! I knew there had to be more of us! I will head over to Swavy Curly Courtney, thank you for recommending... 💁🏻♀️🤞
If the cast feels cold its still wet ❤
Ahh great tip, i will look for that next time -- thanks!
