I'm 43 years old with very fine hair that cannot hold a curl to save its life. I'm lucky if they last a day and that usually requires copious amounts of hairspray. My first time trying out all of these tips and I am on day 3 and my curls are still there. And I have a disability that requires laying down a lot, with my head on a pillow, which is usually where my curls flatten out. I'm a bit annoyed that I just found these tricks! Total gamechanger! And the fact that I was able to get curls like these to last with so little product is insane. I'm shook.
1. Leave in conditioner 2. Blow dry cream like olaplex 6 3. Hold curler upside down. Wrap hair around. 4. Heat protectant like Kenra 5. Curler/wand behind, hair in front
You are changing my life one tutorial at a time. I turn 40 this year, I have lost over half my body weight (130 kgs down to 57 kgs) and with my changed face shape and hair loss from health issues, I decided to try to make an effort with my hair. I got 8 inches cut off the bottom to shoulder length and had some long layers out in and have been taking your advice about products and how to do everything I have never been able to do to my own hair. When I look in the mirror, I still see the person who weighed 130 kgs, but I'm absolutely loving my hair! You have made it so easy. I really appreciate you and your advice 😍
Girl with natural curl here. I am loving these videos and have committed to the trilogy. I do prefer to style my hair with a diffuser to bring out my ringlets, though, but Chris' shampooing methods and recommended products still have validity. I don’t know if the Blowout Professor would ever expand his research to the curly community, but if he did, it would be invaluable! There is so much hype and endless products out there right now for curl types and he would be a breath of fresh air! Thanks for all you and your team do, Chris!
I'm 100% with you here. I'd love to see a video from him for us naturally curly girls. :) As for shampooing, I totally understand the importance of a clean slate for our hair. I do not yet use a professional shampoo but I do like to go in with a regular shampoo with sulface, and then I do the second wash with a more gentle shampoo.
I agree, it would be great to see him discuss and work with more textured hair as well. I think all the videos that I've seen are people with straight hair. I have tightly curled/coiled hair but I keep it straightened. I greatly enjoy his videos
Naturally curly,wavy. Many of my curls patterns fall toward my face, especially on the sides. I've stopped trying to force them, and my hair frizzes far less now.
PREP: - wash your hair better so you have to wash it less and therefore curl less often: -- use professional shampoo -- double cleanse (rinse inbetween!) -- don't use heavy products - use leave-in conditioner after washing to protect the hair - blow dry cream + blow drying (make hair as smooth as possible, the smoother it is the longer the curls will hold) - use heat protection with hold CURLING: - hold the curling iron upside down when curling and start with the top of your hair when wrapping it around (this gives the top hair the strength it needs to hold up the rest) see 8:50 + 9:00 - always do curls away from your face (= iron always goes 'behind' your hair) see 12:20 - do not pull the iron, let the hair fall out - after curling the curls should be slightly tighter than you want them to be (because they loosen as the hair cools down) -- to get tighter curls: use a thinner iron, curl smaller sections of hair, keep iron on longer - keep your hair dry, stay out of humid environments -- when showering without hair washing: use a shower cap with terry cloth lining on the insine (otherwise the humidity ruins the curls)
I am using all of your tips! My hair is going 4-5 days between washes and my hair was healthier in the first week! Thank you Chris, you are incredible ❤️
I’ve just binged on hours of your videos!! My stylists haven’t given me any good advice for years despite all my questions. I’ve got baby fine limp hair & was considering getting wigs! I’m gonna be implementing all of your advice immediately! Thank you for sharing your advice & expertise!! Bless you!!
I've been hopeless with my hair for years and have never done much with it but lately I've been noticing build-up, limpness and dryness and it's just unmanageable.... Needless to say, your advice has helped me turn my hair health around in a week! No more build-up, the softness has returned, my wave pattern is coming back and I'm getting the bounce and shine that I've been wanting! I'm slowly making my way through all of your videos because you are a true professional. I so appreciate what you do and am on my way to long, shiny, bouncy hair. Thanks Chris!
CHRIS! You are legit a GODSEND!!! I am 32 and have been trying for too long to get my curls to stay for longer than a few hours with no luck! I tried your method and my hair is looking FIRE even past day 3! I am getting so many compliments! Thank you thank you thank you!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Tried this tonight - I have fine hair that has NEVER held curls for a whole evening. It's 11pm and my hair still looks great, soft curls, lots of shine. Thank you for breaking down the technique, products, everything in the way I could understand and replicate ☺️
Stellar and sage advice thank you so much. Great channel…. No chatting, gets right to the point, focused, bullet points, stays on topic. great content. ❤good work
@@elluc1510 he just says to put it in a bun or a high ponytail on top of your head before you go to bed. He said the bun is better. In the morning, lightly brush it and put a little bit of hair oil in the ends. He says to only use dry shampoo on the roots if your hair is starting to get greasy, so it's not necessarily a requirement every morning
I’m blessed. I got it from my mom. I’m 49 and have a lot of hair still. I wash twice, use a mask because I have a weird wave, leave in, argan oil spray, and Redken’s version of Olaplex in a cream. Rough dry upside down, let it finish drying on it’s own. When it’s fully dry I take my T3 iron and start from the scalp and roll it down, leaving the heat on for 5 seconds at a time, approximately. The T3 iron I have is so smooth that I can keep doing that down the shaft of my hair. I don’t use hairspray because I don’t like how it feels. I finish it off with a little Olaplex oil and my curls stay. Also, Perfect Hair Day pre heat spray on dry hair before the iron works great. I also have the leave in spray you recommend, or It’s a 10 is great too 12:02 I have Kenra blow dry spray. I love it and it smells like candy
U r a LIFE SAVER!! I have purchased several Lange hair curlers and irons. At 61 I have never used a curling iron without a clip. Needless to say all I have managed to do is burn myself and thought I had wasted a ton of money. Thank God I stumbled across this video. I can now use all these clip less curlers I have bought. I actually have CURLSA AND NO BURNS!! U r wonderful. Can't wait to view your other videos
I recently purchased the majority of your recommended products…. Olaplex #7 bonding oil, Redken Big Blowout, Kenra Thermal Styling/Heat Protectant, & Purology Leave In Conditionsr….. the only things I’ve not purchased yet are the professional shampoo & conditioner (I’m on a budget lol). I also purchased a wet brush & sleepy-tie scrunchie and ohhhh my gosh, holy wow the difference. After just one day of using these products my hair feels amazing and it hasn’t held curl like this in… ever? Long story short, anyone who is questioning if these products really make a difference…. They do!! I’m beyond impressed and also really appreciate that you have no issue saying when something isn’t worth the $$. I would love to see you make a video on upkeep and maintenance for hair with hair extensions (especially hand tied/invisible bead)
I have been wondering how to keep my curls long lasting for SO MANY yrs! Until now. I am saving this video and I will definitely refer back to it whenever I use my iron until I can do it without watching over and over and over again! You shared things about washing your hair and how to hold your iron and where to start the curl on the iron. I really learned so much. Thank you so much. The best video I've learned so much from. ❤
You articulate so good! I like how you know how to talk fast and clear at the same time! You don’t ramble! You get to the point thank you so much for your video
Unbelievable! I have always had a hard time getting curls to last more than 5 minutes. I recently went and got a perm because I’m so frustrated! Your technique is so amazing and really simple. Thank you so much! I love my hair now!
Chris, you are priceless! I have watched countless videos on how to get my straight hair to hold a curl, and until you came along I did not have any success. Plus my hair is so much healthier, I love ordering my products from you, they all work as you have explained and, ship super fast! A million thanks!
I’m a brand new fan! Thank you for teaching us how to actually care for our hair. I’m def going to be trying the upside down twist curl method!! I’ve been incorporating all of your other steps to get my hair healthy and this will be a game changer not having to curl my fine hair every day to refresh my style.
Chris must feel so good.. imagine one day when EVERYONE knows how to wash and take care of their hair thanks to him! I’ve already shared with two people. Exponential changes :)
I've been doing roll up curls and never happy with the results - I tried the crazy looking upside down technique and wow, was very very surprised at the difference. I'm never going back to roll up! Thank you sir!
I bumped into your channel and I am so impressed! You give great advice for the best outcome. You don't push products but rather the process and I really appreciate that. With difficult waves that I airdry, I have already found some advice you've given for keeping my hair at its best. Thanks for your time and effort in making these videos.
Gosh, thank u for explaining all this hair knowledge in such a concise, informative video. I probably would've had to watch 20 more other videos from other influencers just to get all this info, thank u so much!
Sir, I have to say I had given up on finding actual practical and well-broken down advice on UA-cam because of the kind of content we're mostly served nowadays. But I stumbled across your video on greasy but also dry hair and I applied your tips and it feels like I'm getting my beautiful hair back after some tough post-covid years. I'm excited to watch this one and apply the advice to see if I can infuse more curly life into my fine hair.. THANK YOU. -New subscriber
People like you are the reason i buy products off of their list so they can get little bit of commission for making a video like this. Thank you, i love you
I stumbled across this video and am thankful to God...and Chris...I did. I'd never used a curling wand before, I definitely suggest getting heat resistant gloves, the result is beautiful. I also took his suggestion on the blowout product in the pink container as well as it's a ten leave in conditioner. I can most likely go four to five days with curls which simplifies my morning. Thanks be to God....and Chris.
Can you please show us how to curl a full head of hair? I struggle with the size of the section, how long to hold the hair in the iron, how to do the top/face framing pieces so it doesn’t look flat on top and curly at the bottom etc… so it would be super nice to see from start to finish
Thank you Chris! For now, I officially found out that I’m following a healthy routine with my hair! 😊 I would love to learn your opinion about curls made with flat irons and your suggestions about how to make curls last with a flat iron, too. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I having been following your advice and have great results. I have transitioned to my natural color which is salt and pepper now. I am also in the process of trying to grow my hair and your advice has been priceless. I have been doing everything wrong. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video - what a game changer it was, converting my new 3/4 in. curling iron, into a curling wand, by removing the screws, stand and clamp. I added your shampoo & conditioning method, ( have Aveda), blow dry cream & a heat protectant spray. Followed your curling instructions and Voila! I have a gorgeous curls! Thanks Professor! 😊
I have oleplex but I LOVE CHIHSAI. I have blond hair that is frizzy and dry and I also get highlights and man this cream is the big game changer for me. It’s a repair leave in and makes all the difference for my hair. I apply it on the ends then it naturally works its way through to the rest when I blow dry or style it. It may seem oily the first time you use it but your hair gets used to being pampered and I can go 3-4-5 days without washing and my hair isn’t greasy at all
The way he explains everything in his videos is so easy and to the point, that a totally blind woman can follow these instructions and have successful results. Thank you so much. ❤
Amazing. HOW do you manage to explain these concepts in terms that are so easy to understand! I feel like I can throw away 90% of the weird hair “care” on my shelf!! Thank you!
@@shinealjabri1915My best hair day is Redken Volume Injection shampoo, conditioner, I just pat dry my hair several times not wrapping it or roughly drying it, Pureology leave in conditioner, wet brush through followed by the redken blowdry gel, brush through spray Morrocan oil root boost just on my roots, rough blow dry upside down( i have the babyliss dryer but I want the Harry Josh), divide into sections use my Tymo blow dry brush into sections (I had the older and newer Revlon blowdry brush and both my daughters confiscated them and after watching Gabi here on youtube I bought the Tymo which I LOVE, while still warm i place drybar velcro rollers until all my hair is done and in rollers, lightly spray redken 25 hair spray (but I may change to his Kenra recommendation as it is a lighter hair spray), depending on what I have going on I leave the rollers in from half hour to an hour. The volume is insane for me, we are talking 80s big hair at first. Finish with some Olaplex oil on the ends. All Chris's recommendations. I have the Morrocan oil mask he recommends, the olaplex #6, I also have 2 other olaplex products, I forget the numbers, but one you can add to the blowdry cream and one is a repair mask which I use several days after getting my hair colored. I find when I use those 2 products my volume does not hold as well.
@@surgicaltechcrafter2169 Thankyou so much for replying, you were very informative and I highly appreciate it. I wish I could get redken in my country literally dying to get all the products. God bless you and have a lovely day!
This honestly worked! I followed his directions and it legitimately worked so well! I recommend a 1” barrel for the best curls. But my curls lasted 3 days (the 3rd of course was much looser, but still looked styled.) and the washing your hair twice is a game changer! I finally found a way to curl my hair that stays curly!! 🎉🎉🎉
This is excellent advice! Thank you ❤ I would like to add one other tip you can try to really lock in the curl. Pin up each lock as it comes out of the curling iron to your head with a duck bill clip and let it completely cool before letting it down. Your curls will be extra bouncy. 😊
Vanessa B: Very good advice. I have a further tip that if you pin those newly rolled strands just onto pins, they’re easier to sleep on; and the longer they stay pinned and uncombed out yet the next day, the longer they will remain in the loose corkscrew shape. The hair has a ‘memory’.
What are your suggestions for styling naturally wavy hair? I'm one of those gals that just learned that my hair is actually wavy, almost curly with some coaxing. (always thought it was straight because it was so thick , the weight pulled it straight! But since I weaned my last kid , all that pregnancy hair finally shed, and my wavy curly hair was revealed, lol! So I am constantly on the search for hair care routines. I wash 2-3 times a week, i use a leave in, and typically air dry, sometimes diffuse. I refresh with leave in on non wash days.
THANK YOU!!!! for taking the time out for all of your videos. You have saved my life and I love how clear and direct you are with NO BS! You have changed the hair game for me and next time I’m in FL I’m coming to your salon!!!! TY TY TY for all this knowledge on all yours videos!!!!!
I just did a search bc the right side of my hair always turns out amazing but not the left side. Holding the curling iron upside down and problem fixed! Thank you, sir 😊
Hey Chris. I'm completely blown away buy your tips and how effective they are. Just two washes and my hair have completely transformed even though I'm not using your recommended products yet, still, by following your easy tips, using right amount of right product at the right time has done wonders for me. Always had dry and frizzy hair which became worst after bleaching and dyeing. Now my hair look perfect even when the humidity in my region is as high as 90%🤣. I had lost all hope in my hair, kept it short and tied all the time. I hope more people discover you. Your content is Beyond amazing, I wish I found you earlier it could have saved me years of making terrible hair mistakes. One question, what can be done to reduce hairfall, and can you please make a video on hairfall (not breakage). That'd be a great help. Thankyou
That's amazing! You made my day Sameen. Hairfall is really complicated and can be caused by 20 or so different things. They're usually related to physical health, emotional health, diet or hormones. It's almost never a product or styling issue so I'm not very useful on the topic. Dermatologists are much better versed on this issue than me. If I had any good answers I promise I would immediately share them!
I had a piece of hair where every time I tried to curl it, the curly would not take. My piece of hair would still literally be straight and I used parts of your method because I was already basically done with my hair at this point and it really did work! I'm impressed! I am definitely going to try out these tips! I get tired of curling my hair every single day! Thank you!
Sometimes I get curls that last for two days. One way that works really well for me is to put curlers in my hair when it is still wet from a shower. Especially the curlers with the sponges. I love those things. You can sleep overnight in those a lot easier than the hard plastic ones. Of course my hair has a little natural curl to it too. But not that much. Sometimes if I leave my hair in the curling iron a little bit longer than usual the curls will stay longer with the help of a decent hairspray too. Trouble is when you shampoo the curls will fall out again. But it is not that hard to curl your hair again anyway, or put in curlers for the night.
I just found your channel and I know it’s just in my head, but I’d swear my hair feels longer just because I now know how to take better care of it! I had no idea how badly I was treating it, thinking I was giving it TLC with too much product, wrong products, washing too often and incorrectly, over-styling, etc. I am going to keep track of how much growth I am now keeping after using these ‘secrets’ you’ve shared and I’ll report back in a month. Stay tuned! And thank you!!
One advice that helped me tremendously is: after curling a section of hair clip it so that it cools in that shape and then let it loose. Also sebastain reshaper hairspray really keeps the hair in place for 10+ hours and it looks super silky. Hope that helps
Great video! I totally agree with the twice wash and get lots of suds on the second wash with professional shampoo. I've used drug store shampoo and got tons of suds but with a very liquid texture. The moment I started to use professional shampoo I was surprised to see how thick the foam was on the second wash. Thanks for the video!
I put my long fine hair in a loose twist on top of my head with a jaw clip. It really seems to reduce the amount of hair I find in my sheets and the amount that comes out in the brush on the morning
personally i wrap it around my head, if makes 1 and a half circles, and pin it. i then wrap it in a silk scarf. it becomes SO SMOOTH and sleek, but it’s pretty flat at the roots. i want to experiment with wrapping the hair up to the opposite side rather than around the back to create volume but that may be a disaster. my current method has ZERO breakage. only issue is it flat hair. i use dry shampoo some mornings to combat this
Hey Anila! As the others said wrapping it loosely (not tightly) is the best way to go. There are really only two things you want to watch out for.. Don't sleep with your head on top of your hair because it can get sweaty or compressed like that. Try a loose bun or similar high on your head. But remember to keep it very loose so your hair doesn't get indented.
This is great advice. I will look up the products you suggested. Up until the last couple of years, I washed my hair every day. Now I do it once every third day. It does get itchie by the third day. I'll start implementing what you suggested and see if that makes a difference. I've been using a blow dryer with the brush attached and love it. It cuts the dry time in half. I'm not holding my arms above my head for half an hour! The challenge with those is they pull out my natural wave, and I miss it. Awesome video and quick information. Great job!
I wash and curl my long hair every single day. I wake up at 2:45am for work just to get this done! And I don’t have to be in until 8! You’re my HERO! THANK YOU!
This was my first time watching your channel. Excellent! I’m 75 and learned a lot. Enjoyed your simple clear explanations. I subscribed and shall be watching your other videos. Thank you!
THANK YOU. Ok! I have watched all your videos and today I did the routine through blow drying. (No iron). My hair looks and feels great. I love the pureology leave in. I think I have never had a real understanding of my 50 + bottles of hair product that surround me and also I have been using too much of it. Hopefully it won’t be frizzy tomorrow. Is using an iron key to getting through between washes? Also I have ordered product from your list through your salon Can’t wait for them to arrive!
That's awesome! Using an iron definitely adds longevity to any style because it adds smoothness. The smoother the hair is the longer it will stay feeling fresh and clean 👍
What, if any alterations would you suggest if using a Dyson airwrap? For my body type, my curls need to be more voluminous, billowy, and polished (a la Ava Gardner or Monica Bellucci). My coarse hair naturally renders "beach waves" which, on me, make me look unkempt.
I love the comparisons you use so much! they make it so easy for me to better visualize how the products talk about work. For example, the leave-in conditioner compared to the Yeti cup, I just love that! Thank you for your videos.
As menopause ends, my hair is finer than ever! My curls are natural and dry, so they get frizzy fast. Hopefully you have a video regarding natural curls.
hi chris! i know that you did a leave in conditioner and oil video already but i do have one question. do i use the products on soaked hair, damp hair, or after it completely air dried?
Hey Diya! Only use the leave in conditioner on damp hair after the shower. Never on dry hair :) For oil use it after you're done styling after the shower... If you don't style you can use it on wet hair. Or if you style use it on your dry styled hair. You can also use oil whenever your ends look dry before the next wash (every 2-3 days for most people).
Thanks excellent tipsy taco for a frizzy hair girl. Taking notes for twice washing and lining shower caps. I am adding also to wash the hair with cold or warm water ONLY
I’ve been using a microfiber towel to wrap hair while in the shower but not washing, but recently got the terry cloth lined shower caps because of your videos! Didn’t know they made those. My question is, how long should you wear it if you stay in the bathroom getting ready after the shower….I try to keep it on as long as possible because it’s still humid in the bathroom even after I’m done in the shower. Hopefully this makes sense lol
Alyssa Thomas: in addition to a shower cap, I would also wrap a very large bath towel in a turban style around my head while I shower so as not to get the hair damp. Once I finish in the tub, I scram out of the bathroom as fast as possible to a dry and not humid place to prepare for my next step.
Hi Chris, I just started following you and am Loving your advice, thank you! I have a dumb question….if I wash my hair on a Monday, do you count 3 days as wash again on Thursday?
Thank you for this!!!! Your tips always are spot on and work flawlessly, just like you promise. I truly appreciate you educating all of us hair enthusiasts. :)
Great video! Will try these next time I wash my hair, but I have a question: what do you do when you sleep? Won’t your hair just frizz up at night? Do you tie it back or something?
Question, when I twist my curl when I curl I notice it actually doesn't last because the heat can't get into the inside. I've also noticed more damage on the outside layer because they get more heat and the inside doesn't get any. My favorite way has been to do the recently popular "duck and slide" method with a clamp!
What is considered good shampoo? I use matrix shampoo and conditioner, tresmmé leave in conditioner, chi straight guard and a tresmmé oil. These products are not cheap. Being a woman is expensive. Thank you for the education. I found you today. I'd like to see more videos on products for long hair and humidity.
Hi Chris! Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I have two quick questions: 1) Do you recommend putting curled hair up at night (i.e. up in a loose bun, loose ponytail, nothing at all...) when sleeping? 2) Are there any products we should use on day 2 and/or 3 (beyond dry shampoo if needed) to maintain the curls? Thank you in advance! ~ Shannon
Hey, I'm not Chris but thought I'd give my 2pence. I wrap my hair in a loose bun and use a satin scrunchie to hold. - but twist the hair in one direction as you wrap and make sure you get it all in the bun neatly. I've left the tips out before and it kinks. I wouldn't recommend any products on day two, as getting the hair wet is counterproductive, maybe a light mist of hair spray and use fingers to lift hair at roots if tied up the night before
I have wavey semi curly thick hair. If I let it air dry with moracan curl cream, it drys pretty frizzy. Should I use a curling iron instead? I love your videos. Thanks, Susie I Cali.
Chris! I just have to say that for the first time in my life I have started to like (dare I say love) my hair....thanks solely to you!!! Although I have a way to go, I feel like I am unlocking my hair's potential. A decades long reoccurring dream of mine is to have healthy, bouncy, long flowing hair. I always thought that was just the stuff of dreams! LOL The analogies you use help to open a whole new level of understanding. As a retired public school teacher, I know the importance! I may not have found this video yet, but what do you recommend you do with your hair during sleep to help keep your curl?
Put your hair in a pineapple style and sleep in a satin cap. That's what we curly girls do. The difference is remarkable. My hair needs little touch ups but it's fine for 6 days and I wash it on the 7th, so it doesn't matter 😁
Thanks so much. I put thumbs 👍 and am going to subscribe. I haven't curled my hair for a long time because I was tired of it not lasting long. I didn't know there were things you could do to make them last longer.
Hi Chris, I have short curly hair (just past my ears) and I don't use a curling iron to style my natural curls. You've mentioned that air-drying leads to more frequent washes because hair gets dirtier, faster. Would you still recommend blow-drying even for short curly hair?
I have chemically relaxed afro hair and usually roller set for curls but it is like the curls just have a good laugh at my expense because immediately after removing the rollers I have straight hair again.😟. Is there a way to get lasting curls with magnetic rollers?
I have straight hair but have a lot of experience with setting. Do you roll your hair sections vertically? Try using smaller rollers as well. Also I never found a setting product that didn’t make my hair crunchy, drab and last a long while. I was probably using too much product.
@@slenderpear4945 I roll my hair in small sections and use medium sized rollers. I have the same issue with setting products and moose, no matter how little I put my hair is still crunchy and will not hold the curl
@@jo30104 have you tried lotta body foam? I use it and it’s never crunchy. I can brush it out as needed and haven’t had this problem. I have Afro hair that I wear straightened for reference.
@@TULIP.1689 Hi I excitedly bought it used it and my hair was still crunchy. Not as crunchy as the other products are but still crunchy and difficult to comb or brush out the hair.
Thank you for sharing ALL of this 😊😊😊💕 so many channels dance around this stuff giving us nothing practical to take away, and just by following you the last week my hair was truly healthier and way nicer I got compliments ! Thanks so much for this amazing content 💙💛
Can you please do a video on creating curls with a hair straightening iron, and the different types of curls you can get with it! Also, the best hair irons for creating curls. Thanks!
Sounds great for individuals with straight hair.. what would you recommend for natural curly hair? How would you keep natural curls smooth and defined? You said on the second day to brush out the curls? If I brushed out my curls on the second day it would be a huge disaster! I would have a huge frizzy mess..
How many seconds should you leave your hair on the iron when you curl each section? What would you recommend? Edit: I have natural virgin hair, fine but LOTS of it
Take small sections. No more than 5-6 seconds. Once you’re done, remove the curl and hold the hair in your hand for a few seconds. Your curl pattern stays when it cools down, not when it’s hot.
Same! Florida makes it really hard to keep a style. I tell all my clients to hide indoors as much as possible after they get their hair done 😂 In the end humidity always wins if you stay outside long enough
Brilliant thank you. I had my hair curly permed to help but not finding it working so well....maybe cos of health/ medication. Is there any kind of perm which will give me minimum work. I am disabled so for me arms get tired...and infact I exhaust quickly. 15:06
I used this technique, and curled my hair on Friday before leaving town. By Sunday my hair still had curls. I only needed to gently comb and use dry shampoo. The ladies i was with were amazed!
Hilarious I’ve been explaining this exactly to clients for 20 years - minus the frying pan and milk part lol I do believe in loving products people just need to understand products and how to use them !! I only wash my hair every 2 weeks and my curls will last a week every time. Those are my favorite curling irons and yes I always use much smaller sizes. You always need a shower cap and you can get them at cvs or Walmart for 3-5$$$
It looks very easy to ''wrap it around the opened iron '' without burning your fingers when you have no hair. I spent a lot of time on it and still do not see how it is possible.
New sub here loving your content. I had breast cancer and am taking med that is thinning my hair . I just grew it back from chemo and now this . 😢I’m so sad about it so I’m doing everything I can to take care of my hair . I have curly hair and need every tip possible. 😢 Thank you for all the advice.
All of these techniques are great on hair wash day. What’s the routine for day two or three? I use a shower cap and dry shampoo to freshen the scalp on day two and three if necessary. Also, I stopped using shampoo with sulfate. Sulfates give maximum sudsing but do not clean properly from my experience. Try to not comb or brush your hair when dry. I use my fingers to fluff or separate strands. Sleeping with silk or satin pillowcase helps too. I use satin since it’s machine washable and less maintenance as you find with silk requires more care.

My daughter is having her quince. She wants lots of big curls. Any tips?
For some reason I am not receiving an email with the product list

And I have a disability that requires laying down a lot, with my head on a pillow, which is usually where my curls flatten out. I'm a bit annoyed that I just found these tricks! Total gamechanger! And the fact that I was able to get curls like these to last with so little product is insane. I'm shook.
Chris is amazing! He gives such good advice. I’m so happy that it works for you!!!
Get well soon
I struggle too I got fibromyalgia and arthritis etc Always feel bad when my Curls f after half hour after all that work
Which products did you use? I hace the same issues.
Happy it worked for you and wishing you good health ... happy curling
1. Leave in conditioner
2. Blow dry cream like olaplex 6
3. Hold curler upside down. Wrap hair around.
4. Heat protectant like Kenra
5. Curler/wand behind, hair in front
Your brain works like mine 👍
I mean we cannot watch 15 minute videos now?
Some videos say don’t curl just washed hair. Wait until Day 2.
Thank you! I like to screenshot these lists as a reminder!
Upside down curl....thank you!!!! Your the best 👌
You are changing my life one tutorial at a time.
I turn 40 this year, I have lost over half my body weight (130 kgs down to 57 kgs) and with my changed face shape and hair loss from health issues, I decided to try to make an effort with my hair. I got 8 inches cut off the bottom to shoulder length and had some long layers out in and have been taking your advice about products and how to do everything I have never been able to do to my own hair.
When I look in the mirror, I still see the person who weighed 130 kgs, but I'm absolutely loving my hair! You have made it so easy. I really appreciate you and your advice 😍
Girl with natural curl here. I am loving these videos and have committed to the trilogy. I do prefer to style my hair with a diffuser to bring out my ringlets, though, but Chris' shampooing methods and recommended products still have validity. I don’t know if the Blowout Professor would ever expand his research to the curly community, but if he did, it would be invaluable! There is so much hype and endless products out there right now for curl types and he would be a breath of fresh air! Thanks for all you and your team do, Chris!
as a curly girl as well i support this motion
I'm 100% with you here. I'd love to see a video from him for us naturally curly girls. :) As for shampooing, I totally understand the importance of a clean slate for our hair. I do not yet use a professional shampoo but I do like to go in with a regular shampoo with sulface, and then I do the second wash with a more gentle shampoo.
I agree, it would be great to see him discuss and work with more textured hair as well. I think all the videos that I've seen are people with straight hair. I have tightly curled/coiled hair but I keep it straightened. I greatly enjoy his videos
this would be great! even as someone with fine and naturally wavy hair, it would be great if he could help guide us.
Naturally curly,wavy. Many of my curls patterns fall toward my face, especially on the sides. I've stopped trying to force them, and my hair frizzes far less now.
OMG WHY HAVE I NEVER EVER NEVER HEARD THE IRON GOES BEHIND THE HAIR?????? Chris, you are GENIUS! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Glad I could help Amy! I had to come up with that because I didn't understand the other way :)
PREP:
- wash your hair better so you have to wash it less and therefore curl less often:
-- use professional shampoo
-- double cleanse (rinse inbetween!)
-- don't use heavy products
- use leave-in conditioner after washing to protect the hair
- blow dry cream + blow drying (make hair as smooth as possible, the smoother it is the longer the curls will hold)
- use heat protection with hold
CURLING:
- hold the curling iron upside down when curling and start with the top of your hair when wrapping it around (this gives the top hair the strength it needs to hold up the rest) see 8:50 + 9:00
- always do curls away from your face (= iron always goes 'behind' your hair) see 12:20
- do not pull the iron, let the hair fall out
- after curling the curls should be slightly tighter than you want them to be (because they loosen as the hair cools down)
-- to get tighter curls: use a thinner iron, curl smaller sections of hair, keep iron on longer
- keep your hair dry, stay out of humid environments
-- when showering without hair washing: use a shower cap with terry cloth lining on the insine (otherwise the humidity ruins the curls)
I am using all of your tips! My hair is going 4-5 days between washes and my hair was healthier in the first week! Thank you Chris, you are incredible ❤️
I’ve just binged on hours of your videos!! My stylists haven’t given me any good advice for years despite all my questions. I’ve got baby fine limp hair & was considering getting wigs! I’m gonna be implementing all of your advice immediately! Thank you for sharing your advice & expertise!! Bless you!!
I'm also a Sherri. Are we just cursed with fine, thin, limp hair? We'll have to do a survey! ❤
I've been hopeless with my hair for years and have never done much with it but lately I've been noticing build-up, limpness and dryness and it's just unmanageable.... Needless to say, your advice has helped me turn my hair health around in a week! No more build-up, the softness has returned, my wave pattern is coming back and I'm getting the bounce and shine that I've been wanting! I'm slowly making my way through all of your videos because you are a true professional. I so appreciate what you do and am on my way to long, shiny, bouncy hair. Thanks Chris!
CHRIS! You are legit a GODSEND!!! I am 32 and have been trying for too long to get my curls to stay for longer than a few hours with no luck! I tried your method and my hair is looking FIRE even past day 3! I am getting so many compliments! Thank you thank you thank you!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Tried this tonight - I have fine hair that has NEVER held curls for a whole evening. It's 11pm and my hair still looks great, soft curls, lots of shine. Thank you for breaking down the technique, products, everything in the way I could understand and replicate ☺️
Stellar and sage advice thank you so much. Great channel…. No chatting, gets right to the point, focused, bullet points, stays on topic. great content. ❤good work
Now you need a follow up video on how to maintain your hair look over those three days! Dry shampoo? How to sleep with it? Refresh the curls?
Dry shampoo at the roots. A wet brush with light brushing. A tiny bit of hair oil. Saw it on a different video of his.
@@eathomelivethanx ! And when you sleep ?
@@elluc1510 he just says to put it in a bun or a high ponytail on top of your head before you go to bed. He said the bun is better. In the morning, lightly brush it and put a little bit of hair oil in the ends. He says to only use dry shampoo on the roots if your hair is starting to get greasy, so it's not necessarily a requirement every morning
Silk bonnet for sleep or silk pillowcase
I’m blessed. I got it from my mom. I’m 49 and have a lot of hair still. I wash twice, use a mask because I have a weird wave, leave in, argan oil spray, and Redken’s version of Olaplex in a cream. Rough dry upside down, let it finish drying on it’s own. When it’s fully dry I take my T3 iron and start from the scalp and roll it down, leaving the heat on for 5 seconds at a time, approximately. The T3 iron I have is so smooth that I can keep doing that down the shaft of my hair. I don’t use hairspray because I don’t like how it feels. I finish it off with a little Olaplex oil and my curls stay. Also, Perfect Hair Day pre heat spray on dry hair before the iron works great. I also have the leave in spray you recommend, or It’s a 10 is great too
12:02 I have Kenra blow dry spray. I love it and it smells like candy
This totally worked! I’ve never had curls last so long! I curled it on Saturday for a wedding and it’s monday and my hair is still curly/wavy
Wow I have to try this
U r a LIFE SAVER!! I have purchased several Lange hair curlers and irons. At 61 I have never used a curling iron without a clip. Needless to say all I have managed to do is burn myself and thought I had wasted a ton of money. Thank God I stumbled across this video. I can now use all these clip less curlers I have bought. I actually have CURLSA AND NO BURNS!! U r wonderful. Can't wait to view your other videos
I recently purchased the majority of your recommended products…. Olaplex #7 bonding oil, Redken Big Blowout, Kenra Thermal Styling/Heat Protectant, & Purology Leave In Conditionsr….. the only things I’ve not purchased yet are the professional shampoo & conditioner (I’m on a budget lol). I also purchased a wet brush & sleepy-tie scrunchie and ohhhh my gosh, holy wow the difference. After just one day of using these products my hair feels amazing and it hasn’t held curl like this in… ever? Long story short, anyone who is questioning if these products really make a difference…. They do!! I’m beyond impressed and also really appreciate that you have no issue saying when something isn’t worth the $$. I would love to see you make a video on upkeep and maintenance for hair with hair extensions (especially hand tied/invisible bead)
I have been wondering how to keep my curls long lasting for SO MANY yrs! Until now. I am saving this video and I will definitely refer back to it whenever I use my iron until I can do it without watching over and over and over again! You shared things about washing your hair and how to hold your iron and where to start the curl on the iron. I really learned so much. Thank you so much. The best video I've learned so much from. ❤
You articulate so good! I like how you know how to talk fast and clear at the same time! You don’t ramble! You get to the point thank you so much for your video
You literally changed my life. My curles lasted a few hours, but now it's like 4-5 days. Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!!!
Man! is this man a good educator!!
Hi Cris. Please consider doing video on how to treat natural wavy/curly hair especially frizz. I too live in south Florida. Thank you
Unbelievable! I have always had a hard time getting curls to last more than 5 minutes. I recently went and got a perm because I’m so frustrated! Your technique is so amazing and really simple. Thank you so much! I love my hair now!
Chris, you are priceless! I have watched countless videos on how to get my straight hair to hold a curl, and until you came along I did not have any success. Plus my hair is so much healthier, I love ordering my products from you, they all work as you have explained and, ship super fast! A million thanks!
Amazing to hear it Jan :) Thanks for the kind words. If I can ever help just let me know 🙏
I’m a brand new fan! Thank you for teaching us how to actually care for our hair. I’m def going to be trying the upside down twist curl method!! I’ve been incorporating all of your other steps to get my hair healthy and this will be a game changer not having to curl my fine hair every day to refresh my style.
Chris must feel so good.. imagine one day when EVERYONE knows how to wash and take care of their hair thanks to him! I’ve already shared with two people. Exponential changes :)
I've been doing roll up curls and never happy with the results - I tried the crazy looking upside down technique and wow, was very very surprised at the difference. I'm never going back to roll up! Thank you sir!
I bumped into your channel and I am so impressed! You give great advice for the best outcome. You don't push products but rather the process and I really appreciate that. With difficult waves that I airdry, I have already found some advice you've given for keeping my hair at its best. Thanks for your time and effort in making these videos.
Gosh, thank u for explaining all this hair knowledge in such a concise, informative video. I probably would've had to watch 20 more other videos from other influencers just to get all this info, thank u so much!
Sir, I have to say I had given up on finding actual practical and well-broken down advice on UA-cam because of the kind of content we're mostly served nowadays. But I stumbled across your video on greasy but also dry hair and I applied your tips and it feels like I'm getting my beautiful hair back after some tough post-covid years. I'm excited to watch this one and apply the advice to see if I can infuse more curly life into my fine hair..
THANK YOU.
-New subscriber
People like you are the reason i buy products off of their list so they can get little bit of commission for making a video like this. Thank you, i love you
I stumbled across this video and am thankful to God...and Chris...I did.
I'd never used a curling wand before, I definitely suggest getting heat resistant gloves, the result is beautiful. I also took his suggestion on the blowout product in the pink container as well as it's a ten leave in conditioner. I can most likely go four to five days with curls which simplifies my morning. Thanks be to God....and Chris.
Can you please show us how to curl a full head of hair? I struggle with the size of the section, how long to hold the hair in the iron, how to do the top/face framing pieces so it doesn’t look flat on top and curly at the bottom etc… so it would be super nice to see from start to finish
I second this!
Thanks for the great advice but … what should we do at night before bed to keep the curls?!
All of the above and 1 more tip that helped me. Stop touching your curled hair once it's all done. Fight the urge to run your fingers thru your curls.
Thank you Chris! For now, I officially found out that I’m following a healthy routine with my hair! 😊 I would love to learn your opinion about curls made with flat irons and your suggestions about how to make curls last with a flat iron, too. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I having been following your advice and have great results. I have transitioned to my natural color which is salt and pepper now. I am also in the process of trying to grow my hair and your advice has been priceless. I have been doing everything wrong. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video - what a game changer it was, converting my new 3/4 in. curling iron, into a curling wand, by removing the screws, stand and clamp. I added your shampoo & conditioning method, ( have Aveda), blow dry cream & a heat protectant spray. Followed your curling instructions and Voila! I have a gorgeous curls! Thanks Professor! 😊
I have oleplex but I LOVE CHIHSAI. I have blond hair that is frizzy and dry and I also get highlights and man this cream is the big game changer for me. It’s a repair leave in and makes all the difference for my hair. I apply it on the ends then it naturally works its way through to the rest when I blow dry or style it. It may seem oily the first time you use it but your hair gets used to being pampered and I can go 3-4-5 days without washing and my hair isn’t greasy at all
I don't think it's ok to binge on your videos while at work 🤷🏻♀😁 but I'm loving them. Now I need to learn to do curls on my shorter hair!
I would love a good short hair curling tutorial too 😍
The way he explains everything in his videos is so easy and to the point, that a totally blind woman can follow these instructions and have successful results. Thank you so much. ❤
Amazing. HOW do you manage to explain these concepts in terms that are so easy to understand! I feel like I can throw away 90% of the weird hair “care” on my shelf!! Thank you!
Lol..I did and my bathroom only has Chris's recommendations and my hair has never felt more luxurious.
Thanks for watching Casey :)
@@surgicaltechcrafter2169 what are you absolute faves??
@@shinealjabri1915My best hair day is Redken Volume Injection shampoo, conditioner, I just pat dry my hair several times not wrapping it or roughly drying it, Pureology leave in conditioner, wet brush through followed by the redken blowdry gel, brush through spray Morrocan oil root boost just on my roots, rough blow dry upside down( i have the babyliss dryer but I want the Harry Josh), divide into sections use my Tymo blow dry brush into sections (I had the older and newer Revlon blowdry brush and both my daughters confiscated them and after watching Gabi here on youtube I bought the Tymo which I LOVE, while still warm i place drybar velcro rollers until all my hair is done and in rollers, lightly spray redken 25 hair spray (but I may change to his Kenra recommendation as it is a lighter hair spray), depending on what I have going on I leave the rollers in from half hour to an hour. The volume is insane for me, we are talking 80s big hair at first. Finish with some Olaplex oil on the ends.
All Chris's recommendations. I have the Morrocan oil mask he recommends, the olaplex #6, I also have 2 other olaplex products, I forget the numbers, but one you can add to the blowdry cream and one is a repair mask which I use several days after getting my hair colored. I find when I use those 2 products my volume does not hold as well.
@@surgicaltechcrafter2169 Thankyou so much for replying, you were very informative and I highly appreciate it. I wish I could get redken in my country literally dying to get all the products. God bless you and have a lovely day!
This honestly worked! I followed his directions and it legitimately worked so well! I recommend a 1” barrel for the best curls. But my curls lasted 3 days (the 3rd of course was much looser, but still looked styled.) and the washing your hair twice is a game changer! I finally found a way to curl my hair that stays curly!! 🎉🎉🎉
This is excellent advice! Thank you ❤ I would like to add one other tip you can try to really lock in the curl. Pin up each lock as it comes out of the curling iron to your head with a duck bill clip and let it completely cool before letting it down. Your curls will be extra bouncy. 😊
Vanessa B: Very good advice. I have a further tip that if you pin those newly rolled strands just onto pins, they’re easier to sleep on; and the longer they stay pinned and uncombed out yet the next day, the longer they will remain in the loose corkscrew shape. The hair has a ‘memory’.
Yes both you and Orith are absolutely correct. I have very fine hair and if I don’t clip/ pin my hair it has no chance in hell.
„the iron always goes behind the hair“ finally I got it, thank you so much for all your information and the way you teach them🙏
What are your suggestions for styling naturally wavy hair? I'm one of those gals that just learned that my hair is actually wavy, almost curly with some coaxing. (always thought it was straight because it was so thick , the weight pulled it straight! But since I weaned my last kid , all that pregnancy hair finally shed, and my wavy curly hair was revealed, lol! So I am constantly on the search for hair care routines. I wash 2-3 times a week, i use a leave in, and typically air dry, sometimes diffuse. I refresh with leave in on non wash days.
THANK YOU!!!! for taking the time out for all of your videos. You have saved my life and I love how clear and direct you are with NO BS! You have changed the hair game for me and next time I’m in FL I’m coming to your salon!!!! TY TY TY for all this knowledge on all yours videos!!!!!
Thank you showing us the correct way to curl our hair. Loved this educational video!
I just did a search bc the right side of my hair always turns out amazing but not the left side. Holding the curling iron upside down and problem fixed! Thank you, sir 😊
Hey Chris. I'm completely blown away buy your tips and how effective they are. Just two washes and my hair have completely transformed even though I'm not using your recommended products yet, still, by following your easy tips, using right amount of right product at the right time has done wonders for me. Always had dry and frizzy hair which became worst after bleaching and dyeing. Now my hair look perfect even when the humidity in my region is as high as 90%🤣. I had lost all hope in my hair, kept it short and tied all the time.
I hope more people discover you. Your content is Beyond amazing, I wish I found you earlier it could have saved me years of making terrible hair mistakes.
One question, what can be done to reduce hairfall, and can you please make a video on hairfall (not breakage). That'd be a great help. Thankyou
That's amazing! You made my day Sameen. Hairfall is really complicated and can be caused by 20 or so different things. They're usually related to physical health, emotional health, diet or hormones. It's almost never a product or styling issue so I'm not very useful on the topic. Dermatologists are much better versed on this issue than me. If I had any good answers I promise I would immediately share them!
@@BlowoutProfessor thankyou so much for your reply ❤️
I recently installed a shower filter and noticed significantly less hair fall in the shower! It might be something to consider☺️
Shower filter?
I had a piece of hair where every time I tried to curl it, the curly would not take. My piece of hair would still literally be straight and I used parts of your method because I was already basically done with my hair at this point and it really did work! I'm impressed! I am definitely going to try out these tips! I get tired of curling my hair every single day! Thank you!
Sometimes I get curls that last for two days. One way that works really well for me is to put curlers in my hair when it is still wet from a shower. Especially the curlers with the sponges. I love those things. You can sleep overnight in those a lot easier than the hard plastic ones. Of course my hair has a little natural curl to it too. But not that much. Sometimes if I leave my hair in the curling iron a little bit longer than usual the curls will stay longer with the help of a decent hairspray too. Trouble is when you shampoo the curls will fall out again. But it is not that hard to curl your hair again anyway, or put in curlers for the night.
I just found your channel and I know it’s just in my head, but I’d swear my hair feels longer just because I now know how to take better care of it! I had no idea how badly I was treating it, thinking I was giving it TLC with too much product, wrong products, washing too often and incorrectly, over-styling, etc. I am going to keep track of how much growth I am now keeping after using these ‘secrets’ you’ve shared and I’ll report back in a month. Stay tuned! And thank you!!
One advice that helped me tremendously is: after curling a section of hair clip it so that it cools in that shape and then let it loose. Also sebastain reshaper hairspray really keeps the hair in place for 10+ hours and it looks super silky. Hope that helps
Any clips you recommend?
Where did you get the Sebastian reshaper hairspray?
Great video! I totally agree with the twice wash and get lots of suds on the second wash with professional shampoo. I've used drug store shampoo and got tons of suds but with a very liquid texture. The moment I started to use professional shampoo I was surprised to see how thick the foam was on the second wash. Thanks for the video!
Hi Chris thanks for the great content! My question for you is how should one sleep with long and fine hair?
I put my long fine hair in a loose twist on top of my head with a jaw clip. It really seems to reduce the amount of hair I find in my sheets and the amount that comes out in the brush on the morning
personally i wrap it around my head, if makes 1 and a half circles, and pin it. i then wrap it in a silk scarf. it becomes SO SMOOTH and sleek, but it’s pretty flat at the roots. i want to experiment with wrapping the hair up to the opposite side rather than around the back to create volume but that may be a disaster. my current method has ZERO breakage. only issue is it flat hair. i use dry shampoo some mornings to combat this
Hey Anila! As the others said wrapping it loosely (not tightly) is the best way to go. There are really only two things you want to watch out for.. Don't sleep with your head on top of your hair because it can get sweaty or compressed like that. Try a loose bun or similar high on your head. But remember to keep it very loose so your hair doesn't get indented.
@@BlowoutProfessor Thank you so much! :)
And what to use instead of heat protector when you curl your hair heat less ? Is it possible to make them last as long as with curler ?
This is great advice. I will look up the products you suggested. Up until the last couple of years, I washed my hair every day. Now I do it once every third day. It does get itchie by the third day. I'll start implementing what you suggested and see if that makes a difference. I've been using a blow dryer with the brush attached and love it. It cuts the dry time in half. I'm not holding my arms above my head for half an hour! The challenge with those is they pull out my natural wave, and I miss it. Awesome video and quick information. Great job!
I wash and curl my long hair every single day. I wake up at 2:45am for work just to get this done! And I don’t have to be in until 8! You’re my HERO! THANK YOU!
wow that's so early if you start at 8am. do you cook and go to the gym and do a full beauty routine? that's dedication..
@@jdashlovela More like insanity. Hope these tips work for her.
@@jdashlovela and drive a few hours 😂
Girl THATS too much TLC ON YOUR HAIR . Try BEACH BABE TEXTURIZING SPRAY CUT THAT TIME IN HALF
This was my first time watching your channel. Excellent! I’m 75 and learned a lot. Enjoyed your simple clear explanations. I subscribed and shall be watching your other videos. Thank you!
Need a video for those of us with curly dry hair please 🙏
I can't wait to try all these tips! I have healthy super thick hair that never will hold a curl for more than an hour!
THANK YOU. Ok! I have watched all your videos and today I did the routine through blow drying. (No iron). My hair looks and feels great. I love the pureology leave in. I think I have never had a real understanding of my 50 + bottles of hair product that surround me and also I have been using too much of it. Hopefully it won’t be frizzy tomorrow. Is using an iron key to getting through between washes? Also I have ordered product from your list through your salon Can’t wait for them to arrive!
That's awesome! Using an iron definitely adds longevity to any style because it adds smoothness. The smoother the hair is the longer it will stay feeling fresh and clean 👍
I just bleached my hair, and found you on time before I damage it. Now I want to wash it and use everything you are saying. Love your content ✨️
What, if any alterations would you suggest if using a Dyson airwrap? For my body type, my curls need to be more voluminous, billowy, and polished (a la Ava Gardner or Monica Bellucci). My coarse hair naturally renders "beach waves" which, on me, make me look unkempt.
Would love to see a video on the Dyson Airwrap!!
Hi chris please do a full video showing exactly how to use the curling tools the right way.🙏 Im more of a visual person😊.
I love the comparisons you use so much! they make it so easy for me to better visualize how the products talk about work. For example, the leave-in conditioner compared to the Yeti cup, I just love that! Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for the kind words Elisabeth 🙏
Agreed!
As menopause ends, my hair is finer than ever! My curls are natural and dry, so they get frizzy fast. Hopefully you have a video regarding natural curls.
hi chris! i know that you did a leave in conditioner and oil video already but i do have one question. do i use the products on soaked hair, damp hair, or after it completely air dried?
Hey Diya! Only use the leave in conditioner on damp hair after the shower. Never on dry hair :)
For oil use it after you're done styling after the shower... If you don't style you can use it on wet hair. Or if you style use it on your dry styled hair.
You can also use oil whenever your ends look dry before the next wash (every 2-3 days for most people).
Thanks excellent tipsy taco for a frizzy hair girl. Taking notes for twice washing and lining shower caps. I am adding also to wash the hair with cold or warm water ONLY
I’ve been using a microfiber towel to wrap hair while in the shower but not washing, but recently got the terry cloth lined shower caps because of your videos! Didn’t know they made those. My question is, how long should you wear it if you stay in the bathroom getting ready after the shower….I try to keep it on as long as possible because it’s still humid in the bathroom even after I’m done in the shower. Hopefully this makes sense lol
Alyssa Thomas: in addition to a shower cap, I would also wrap a very large bath towel in a turban style around my head while I shower so as not to get the hair damp. Once I finish in the tub, I scram out of the bathroom as fast as possible to a dry and not humid place to prepare for my next step.
Hi Chris, I just started following you and am
Loving your advice, thank you! I have a dumb question….if I wash my hair on a Monday, do you count 3 days as wash again on Thursday?
Thank you for this!!!! Your tips always are spot on and work flawlessly, just like you promise. I truly appreciate you educating all of us hair enthusiasts. :)
Great video! Will try these next time I wash my hair, but I have a question: what do you do when you sleep? Won’t your hair just frizz up at night? Do you tie it back or something?
Question, when I twist my curl when I curl I notice it actually doesn't last because the heat can't get into the inside. I've also noticed more damage on the outside layer because they get more heat and the inside doesn't get any. My favorite way has been to do the recently popular "duck and slide" method with a clamp!
What is considered good shampoo? I use matrix shampoo and conditioner, tresmmé leave in conditioner, chi straight guard and a tresmmé oil. These products are not cheap. Being a woman is expensive. Thank you for the education. I found you today. I'd like to see more videos on products for long hair and humidity.
Hi Chris! Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I have two quick questions:
1) Do you recommend putting curled hair up at night (i.e. up in a loose bun, loose ponytail, nothing at all...) when sleeping?
2) Are there any products we should use on day 2 and/or 3 (beyond dry shampoo if needed) to maintain the curls?
Thank you in advance! ~ Shannon
Hey, I'm not Chris but thought I'd give my 2pence. I wrap my hair in a loose bun and use a satin scrunchie to hold. - but twist the hair in one direction as you wrap and make sure you get it all in the bun neatly. I've left the tips out before and it kinks.
I wouldn't recommend any products on day two, as getting the hair wet is counterproductive, maybe a light mist of hair spray and use fingers to lift hair at roots if tied up the night before
I have wavey semi curly thick hair. If I let it air dry with moracan curl cream, it drys pretty frizzy. Should I use a curling iron instead? I love your videos. Thanks, Susie I Cali.
Chris! I just have to say that for the first time in my life I have started to like (dare I say love) my hair....thanks solely to you!!! Although I have a way to go, I feel like I am unlocking my hair's potential. A decades long reoccurring dream of mine is to have healthy, bouncy, long flowing hair. I always thought that was just the stuff of dreams! LOL The analogies you use help to open a whole new level of understanding. As a retired public school teacher, I know the importance! I may not have found this video yet, but what do you recommend you do with your hair during sleep to help keep your curl?
Put your hair in a pineapple style and sleep in a satin cap. That's what we curly girls do. The difference is remarkable. My hair needs little touch ups but it's fine for 6 days and I wash it on the 7th, so it doesn't matter 😁
Thanks so much. I put thumbs 👍 and am going to subscribe. I haven't curled my hair for a long time because I was tired of it not lasting long. I didn't know there were things you could do to make them last longer.
Hi Chris, I have short curly hair (just past my ears) and I don't use a curling iron to style my natural curls. You've mentioned that air-drying leads to more frequent washes because hair gets dirtier, faster. Would you still recommend blow-drying even for short curly hair?
I’m SOOOO GLAD I came across your videos. I have learned so much!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
I have chemically relaxed afro hair and usually roller set for curls but it is like the curls just have a good laugh at my expense because immediately after removing the rollers I have straight hair again.😟. Is there a way to get lasting curls with magnetic rollers?
I have straight hair but have a lot of experience with setting. Do you roll your hair sections vertically? Try using smaller rollers as well. Also I never found a setting product that didn’t make my hair crunchy, drab and last a long while. I was probably using too much product.
@@slenderpear4945 I roll my hair in small sections and use medium sized rollers. I have the same issue with setting products and moose, no matter how little I put my hair is still crunchy and will not hold the curl
@@jo30104 have you tried lotta body foam? I use it and it’s never crunchy. I can brush it out as needed and haven’t had this problem. I have Afro hair that I wear straightened for reference.
@@TULIP.1689 Hi I excitedly bought it used it and my hair was still crunchy. Not as crunchy as the other products are but still crunchy and difficult to comb or brush out the hair.
Hey I found the answer to the curling wand suggestions from your other videos ! Your videos are great . Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing ALL of this 😊😊😊💕 so many channels dance around this stuff giving us nothing practical to take away, and just by following you the last week my hair was truly healthier and way nicer I got compliments ! Thanks so much for this amazing content 💙💛
That's amazing Di! Happy to be able to help. Makes my day to read that 🙏
Can you please do a video on creating curls with a hair straightening iron, and the different types of curls you can get with it! Also, the best hair irons for creating curls. Thanks!
My curls last exactly 2 hours ☹️ no matter what I do
Same here :(
Same
Sounds great for individuals with straight hair.. what would you recommend for natural curly hair? How would you keep natural curls smooth and defined? You said on the second day to brush out the curls? If I brushed out my curls on the second day it would be a huge disaster! I would have a huge frizzy mess..
How many seconds should you leave your hair on the iron when you curl each section? What would you recommend? Edit: I have natural virgin hair, fine but LOTS of it
I also have this question!
Take small sections. No more than 5-6 seconds. Once you’re done, remove the curl and hold the hair in your hand for a few seconds. Your curl pattern stays when it cools down, not when it’s hot.
Does hairspray play any role in this? In other words, once you’re finished? Thanks- great advice!
Dang I've been hot-iron curling my hair my whole life and I didn't know HALF of this! Thank you so much! Your channel is supurb 🙌
Wow so many helpful tips! Thank you so much !
I live in Florida and my curls never ever last! It’s so frustrating
I’m so excited to try this 🤗
Same! Florida makes it really hard to keep a style. I tell all my clients to hide indoors as much as possible after they get their hair done 😂 In the end humidity always wins if you stay outside long enough
Brilliant thank you. I had my hair curly permed to help but not finding it working so well....maybe cos of health/ medication. Is there any kind of perm which will give me minimum work. I am disabled so for me arms get tired...and infact I exhaust quickly. 15:06
When you already have super natural curly hair but still watch the whole video cuz you love the channel.
Haha appreciate you Lulu 🙏
I used this technique, and curled my hair on Friday before leaving town. By Sunday my hair still had curls. I only needed to gently comb and use dry shampoo. The ladies i was with were amazed!
Hilarious I’ve been explaining this exactly to clients for 20 years - minus the frying pan and milk part lol I do believe in loving products people just need to understand products and how to use them !! I only wash my hair every 2 weeks and my curls will last a week every time. Those are my favorite curling irons and yes I always use much smaller sizes. You always need a shower cap and you can get them at cvs or Walmart for 3-5$$$
What curling iron brand was he using in the video?
@@ginajackson8577 nano titanium babyliss. And always buy a smaller Barrel than you need . It will make your curls last so much longer
How can there be so much goodness in one video? Truly genius info, I'm sending this to my teenage daughter... Maybe she'll listen to you!
Thank you Mercedes! 🙏
Thanks
Love this guy because he makes this look so easy, and he explains it very well.
It looks very easy to ''wrap it around the opened iron '' without burning your fingers when you have no hair.
I spent a lot of time on it and still do not see how it is possible.
New sub here loving your content. I had breast cancer and am taking med that is thinning my hair . I just grew it back from chemo and now this . 😢I’m so sad about it so I’m doing everything I can to take care of my hair . I have curly hair and need every tip possible. 😢 Thank you for all the advice.
Your hair tips helped me grow my hair and YES my curls now last 4 days!! 🎉🎉
All of these techniques are great on hair wash day. What’s the routine for day two or three?
I use a shower cap and dry shampoo to freshen the scalp on day two and three if necessary. Also, I stopped using shampoo with sulfate. Sulfates give maximum sudsing but do not clean properly from my experience. Try to not comb or brush your hair when dry. I use my fingers to fluff or separate strands. Sleeping with silk or satin pillowcase helps too. I use satin since it’s machine washable and less maintenance as you find with silk requires more care.
