I never comment on videos, but I had to on yours because they are fantastic! I rarely subscribe to anyone, but I did to you because of several things: 1) You get right to the point and do not waste time (yours or mine). 2) You don't pretend to know everything, but do explain what you do know very well. 3) You provide us with products that are inexpensive and easy to find. 4) I can't think of a better way to say this one... You don't act like "I am so cool and everybody loves me" (while flipping your hair and looking at the camera like you are doing a photo shoot for Vogue). Thank you SO much for that one. 5) You don't swear. 6) You obviously love your sweet family, but don't act like you are the only person that has one. 7) You are realistic and "down to earth". 8) Your hair looks great! THANK YOU and keep doing these!
Hi Lori! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment & thank you for watching. I am very flattered & can appreciate everything that you said because I myself am a youtube watcher. All of the things that you mentioned are important to me. I am a real person with a full time "non-youtube" job and a mediocre lifestyle hahaha my house looks like an 80 year old lives in it and my clothes don't always match but I just try to be real and be myself. xoxo you made my day
Hi Susie, just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. Growing up, I struggled a lot with even liking my hair cos I just didn't know how to take care of it or style it and it took me a long time to love my natural hair. It's been almost a month and a half that I've been trying the curly girl method after I saw it in your videos and I even got my friend to get me the bioterra gel when she came here to India visiting from the states so I'm pretty happy with the results so far. It's still in the transition phase, I guess, so not looking that great but I'm hopeful that with time and being consistent, I'll let there to where it looks and feels great. So a big thank you again.
Super impressed that you achieve such great definition with this technique. I’m gonna try it on my day 2 and 3, since it’s way quicker than my usual routine. Thanks!
So happy I found this channel. I am in the process of growing out my hair and letting it curl again after doing the keratin treatment 3 times. My hair is damaged (not from the keratin itself, it did not damage my hair at all, but I did keep straightening it even through the treatment as it couldn't fully straighten it on its own) and now I'm in the transitional phase. It's a struggle and at times I get discouraged and want to just go back to straight hair, but seeing her videos really makes me want to stick with it. I love the way her hair looks, it's so healthy and shiny and bouncy, and my natural pattern is very similar to hers, maybe a little tighter, but just seeing how gorgeous her hair looks really motivates me and makes me so happy and excited about what my hair could look like if I continue.
Thanks girl! I tried your gel casting method yesterday and my results were incredible. I never knew I had curls hiding under that annoying little wave that I worked so hard to blow out straight! Can't wait to try this refresher today! Thank you 😘
Susie, THANK YOU so much for taking time to share with us! I am new to your channel, but very glad that I found you. I have struggled with my curly hair with washing to styling and sometimes I felt just hopeless to get a non frizzy, shinny curls. I have been using your routine for about 2 weeks now and I love what it does to my hair. Had even less of an idea to "refresh" my hair. Now I know! Also, the products you use work very well for me too. Awesome! Hope you enjoyed your concert :)
Great tips, I never thought to refresh section by section. Also, just wanted to say that I appreciate that you always add a little humor, like with that little saying, I always say “good enough for the girls I go out with”, a popular saying in the military. I’m new to the CGM, i have been flat ironing my hair since I turned 15, and I finally decided to embrace my messy wavy curls. You’re my favorite guru, you keep me motivated, and I like how you show that you can still get great results without spending an arm and a leg on Deva Curl products! Keep up the good work!
THANK YOU!!! After silently watching your channel for months I am finally commenting, because you are amazing! After years, thanks to you, I am learning to LOVE my hair and I’m LOVING getting to know it! I even love my curls on days 2,3, and 4 which is totally new to me! Thanks for all the knowledge and giggles, I love your channel!
I have tried so many next day hair routines and this has been the one that has worked the best! My hair also gets straight on top and I can never control the frizz. Thank you!
I love your videos because you explain and do everything so simple, not complicately routines and with things that all of us have in our houses. Some people make us feel like if you don't have the deva curl diffuser you can't diffuse and you have your diffuser tape to your hair dryer and I love to see that! I use my mom difuser from the 80's and sometimes I feel like I should buy a new one but this one works perfect. So thanks for being so relatable ❤️❤️
out of all the curly hair refresh videos I’ve seen, this method has worked for my hair!! Thank you so much for introducing this to me, everytime I’ve tried to refresh my curls they always ended up looking stringy and gross, so thank you so much☺️I’m so happy!!!💞
I LOVE your videos. My hair is a lot like yours and I tried your techniques for the first time today! I’ve mostly let my curls be natural but I’m ALWAYS fighting frizz!
I really appreciate seeing your hair when you don't style it or after you've slept on it. I don't feel as though I have to have perfect curls all of the time. Thanks for the realism!
Hi Susie! Your videos are seriously the most helpful ones I've found. I purchased the CGM Handbook and was totally overwhelmed. I found you on Sunday, and I think I probably spent nearly 6 hours that day watching. I did my final wash with sulphate that night. CG all week. I spent my whole life ashamed of my hair, damaged the hell out of it, so I could look like 'all the other girls'. Day 4 results are not half bad. Can't wait to see what the future holds. Thanks again! You're a godsend!
Just found your channel, but already have learned so much about how to care for my hair properly! I never knew that curly hair had to be treated differently (only one with curly hair in my family) so I've just started to learn how to take care of my hair and your videos have helped me immensely!
as someone is has finally decided to just embrace my natural hair (a whole heck of a lot easier than wearing a cap every time there's any moisture in the hair) , I love your channel. Just like the CG method, gets right to the point and keeps it simple. The other curly hair channels mean well, but unfortunately can become too overwhelming.. especially for someone who's a recovering curly hair woman, and a mom to boot. Thanks for the help.
As always, love your videos!!!! I I'm almost 4 weeks in to cg method. I'm noticing a difference. My patients are noticing, so I've been recommending your channel like crazy! Keep up the great work!! Lots of love from Arizona!!
I only have 2c hair but I found this extremely helpful. I was on the right track with my morning refresh but I never thought to section my hair -- it seems so obvious now. Thank you!
Susie thank you for the gel recommendation. It's been a life save for my fine wavy hair. When I went to purchase it I also purchased the biotera renew silky milk leave in. Its silicone free and it's been an amazing combo for me 🤗
Omg thank you for this! My curl pattern is so bad from straightening and I've decided to go back to natural. I didn't know how to refresh my curls the second day or third day. This helps so much!
I have three and they are great because they get out of shape but if you leave them just sitting for five minutes they go back to shape. I love bobbles!
Been watching your videos throughout my cg journey the last 4 months and I had to comment because I got the giggles when you said, “we have a big day today! We’re going to the wiggles concert!” That mom life! 💛
You are my curly twin, I can believe how much my hair is similar to yours, even the curl pattern is same. Like when you opened your pineapple, it looks exactly like my hair, than you so much for this simple refresh routine, usually my hair looks very Friday after a refresh but I will certainly try your method n your hair turned out so so pretty 😍
OMG I love this and you!!! You are one if not the only one I’ve come across with that actually would rather wash their hair daily than do a refresh. I’ve always washed my hair (shampoo and conditioner) everyday since I was a kid. But after getting to know the CGM I’ve only used conditioner everyday and no poo shampoo every 4 days or so. I just feel like my hair gets dirty throughout the day even if I’m indoors 90% of the time (so hard to change this habit!) BUT thank you for this tutorial, will be using it on days I’ll try not to wash. 🤗
Hi Susie! Great video as always ;) your videos definitelly changed my life as before my hair was a mess. I used to wash my hair everyday to make them look acceptable good but since I follow CG routine it's enough for me to do it only twice a week. Have very similar hair type to yours although probably a lot more frizzy. When I use products everyday I find my hair too sticky so to refresh I use only a spray bottle with a little conditioner diluted in it. Cheers!
I think you had a similar video about refreshing curls. I do basically the same thing you do, but mix the conditioner and gel together, then do the "praying hands". I usually let my hair air dry, then scrunch, but when I'm in a hurry, I diffuse. I sleep in a satin "bonnet", and my hair will have soft waves in the morning. Great tips, as usual!
Well I have watched 4 different curly girl videos & you are my favorite. I think we have the same texture. My hair is a little shorter. Very glad I found your videos.
oh wow susie we have the same curl pattern!! The top part of my hair is like a 2b wave as well, especially when I wake up! :) I'm very excited for these tips!
I’ve been trying to find a refresh routine that works well for me and I found this tutorial really helpful! My curl pattern is very similar to yours in that my top is much looser and everything else I’ve tried has left my hair frizzy once it’s dry. I can’t wait to try this! I am curious how often you do your full wash routine though. Do you mind sharing?
Thanks again Susie! I have ordered some biotera gel a few weeks ago but its coming to Australia from the US and will be here in another week. Just really want to try it. I have not had success with refresh so far but will try your method with the gel and condish I have!😊thanks again!😊
Looks super good! I have the same next day straight-on-top issue, diffusing works wonders. My go-to is a mix of the Botanique conditioner, Biotera and a hefty amount of water, all together in a spray bottle.
Meg Marcella - Lol - I just wrote the same thing ... Make a solution in my spray bottle! My personal "elixir" is distilled water, As-I-Am Leave-In Conditioner and either Mielle Honey & Ginger Styling Gel (for a little less "cast" and a little more protein) or Bioterra Styling Gel (like S uses)! The combo saves a couple steps. 😊
Susie, I love you and your videos!! Great content. Even my bf enjoys your accent lol he is generally annoyed with my cg obsession, but he digs your channel. BUT PLEASE.. let us get you a new diffuser!!!! Literally, i will buy it lol love ya girl you deserve the best.
Susie! I just stumbled across your channel and I’m so thankful! You are a joy to watch and learn from. I just binge watched so many of your videos, instant sub! Also awesome to watch a fellow Canadian! Xo love from the other coast (Vancouver island!)!
Ugh, refreshing is my nemesis! I have yet to find what works. It’s either so frizzy or products I try leave it greasy. I’ll give your routine a go since I have all those products as well.
So i tried this method like two times and it is LIFECHANGING 😍😍😍 Thank you so much for showing this ❤❤❤❤❤ it's really the easiest method for refreshing. ❤😍
Hi...ive never heard of the curly girl method. I'm def trying it. It's so nice to know others share my exact hair issues. I can't believe it. Plus...theres solutions!! Haaaa. Thanks much. I'm so glad I saw this channel.
Great method for refreshing. I do a similar method but have to use a lot more water until it's really soaked otherwise it gets really stringy or frizzy. I think I have 2b or 2c hair, but it's super thick, very coarse, even my strands are thicker than average-it's a love/hate relationship with my hair LOL.
Thanks a million Willow!!! When I started my channel a year ago I never thought there would be a day when people would binge watch my channel the way I binge watch other people’s channels. It’s the best 💕
I have been having good results with putting some conditioner in the spray bottle and putting some leave-in conditioner on my hair the night before. I will have to give this a try.
Love your accent! We have very similar hair, but I just broke my natural streak and highlighted at home 😔 any recommendations on replenishing moisture after coloring?
Going to have to try this refresh. I usually spray it all over with diluted cream, scrunch in gel, scrunch upside down and diffuse and my hair gets real stringy. :o/
Love this video, I have very similar hair and find all the tips so useful! This is basically a video of my struggle every day as I wash probably every second day. Have you every tried henna wax for deep conditioning? I get the best big soft wavy curls from that but can't do it every day so keen for any similar ideas. Thanks and keep being curly! :-)
seems easier to just shower and start over. I was jealous of those who can have second and third day hair... now after watching many videos on refreshing, I'm okay with starting over daily and doing a refresh once in a while... I love your videos!
I find it I use product every day my hair gets weighed down, so I just damp my hair and scrunch it with a trashier I've also noticed in my ten weeks doing cg method that my hair is super glossy I've never had really glossy hair and I just air dry I've done no heat for ten weeks I'm really pleased with myself, and your hair looks amazing I wish mine would go like that but it's early days yet
wendy wendy Same! I tried using products like this for three days in a row and my hair got really weighed down. Some days this may work, but my usual refresh is to dampen/wet all my hair in the sink (but not soaking wet), turn my hair upside down, and then scrunch a curling cream through it.
Thank you so much. Could I possibly add some conditioner and gel into the bottle of water, shake, and spray with similar results? Always looking for faster refreshes.
Very similar to how I refresh. If I want a lighter looser look I'll skip the gel and just use the leave-in, but I only have 2c hair, if I had more curls I'd be more ready to diffuse and use more gel. I also had no idea The Wiggles were still around! My little brother used to looove them when he was a tot, about 15 years ago now?
Great video, as always. I just love your videos! I'm about 5 months into CGM and I'm still getting the hang of what my hair likes and doesn't, but the one thing I tried that is my go to is bioterra gel, and I only tried it because I saw it on your videos.
your methods look really promising (Y) and it gives me hope that I can have beautiful hair, definitely I am going to try . .. I have too frizzy and naturally curly hair, are you sure the gel which you use will help?
Love your videos I’ve been trying to get my curls back - what a slow process. My hair underneath is curling again but front and top is not completely there. I also find the hair that’s lightened doesn’t curl - don’t know if the chemicals caused it 🤔 but haven’t given up. BTW my husband luvs curly hair. Question do you know if glazing or Olaplex restricts your hair from curling?
My kids are watching a show and I wanted to watch this so I put my phone speaker up to my ear so I could just hear your tutorial and I can hear faintly paw patrol in the background. Hahaha! I cannot survive without that show!
You can also buy those coil hair elastic bands at the dollar store as well. I also have a diffuser that doesn't fit on my hairdryer held together with duct tape.
I was thinking about mixing the conditioner and gel into the water bottle. Is there any reason this might not work well? Btw thanks for your videos, so far they have been the easiest way for me to learn how to care for my curly hair.
Love this refresh vid! I might give it a try tomorrow ☺️ and I Finally got into the city and got some Bioterra Gel at Sally's! Yay! Loved taking my nephew to The Wiggles last year when he was your sons age!
Love your channel! FYI....I have tried a boat LOAD of different styling products, over priced and drug store. The Biotera is the absolute best of all! Thanks for the tips!
I do the EXACT same thing as you S, except I actually have just blended my leave-in and my gel in with the water in the spray bottle; shake it up, and spray and do the praying hands, etc., etc., and I get pretty much the same result. A little less product build-up for my personal hair type between shampoos. Loved you confirming it works for you too! 😀👍🏻
I never comment on videos, but I had to on yours because they are fantastic! I rarely subscribe to anyone, but I did to you because of several things:
1) You get right to the point and do not waste time (yours or mine).
2) You don't pretend to know everything, but do explain what you do know very well.
3) You provide us with products that are inexpensive and easy to find.
4) I can't think of a better way to say this one... You don't act like "I am so cool and everybody loves me" (while flipping your hair and looking at the camera like you are doing a photo shoot for Vogue). Thank you SO much for that one.
5) You don't swear.
6) You obviously love your sweet family, but don't act like you are the only person that has one.
7) You are realistic and "down to earth".
8) Your hair looks great!
THANK YOU and keep doing these!
Hi Lori! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment & thank you for watching. I am very flattered & can appreciate everything that you said because I myself am a youtube watcher.

I totally agree with what you said here!! ♥ She's great!
Ditto.. I love her videos
That hair dryer cracks me up every time!! 😂❤️🌹
I can’t part with it!! 🤣🤣🤣
Cherie O , that’s what i do with my blow dryer and diffuser, duct tape!

Her curls are the actual definition of perfect I LOVE IT UGHGHHG
Super impressed that you achieve such great definition with this technique. I’m gonna try it on my day 2 and 3, since it’s way quicker than my usual routine. Thanks!
So happy I found this channel. I am in the process of growing out my hair and letting it curl again after doing the keratin treatment 3 times.

Susie! Thank you for sharing this in such detail! This completely changed my 3rd-day hair game!!!
Thank you so much for your videos. I love how honest you are and u have helped me the most in my curly hair routine. I started 2 weeks ago
This is so helpful! It's my biggest struggle since embracing my natural texture, great video!
Susie thank you for the gel recommendation. It's been a life save for my fine wavy hair. When I went to purchase it I also purchased the biotera renew silky milk leave in. Its silicone free and it's been an amazing combo for me 🤗
Great job Susie. Keep up the EXCELLENT work! I LOVE to watch your videos! Keep shining!
Susie, you’re seriously the best. I feel like your my east coast soul sister! Love from Ontario 💙
Damn! Best refresh day hair I've seen. Definitely trying your method. Thanks for sharing!
Omg thank you for this! My curl pattern is so bad from straightening and I've decided to go back to natural. I didn't know how to refresh my curls the second day or third day. This helps so much!
I absolutely love invisibobbles I’ve been using them since last year it’s the only thing that keeps my hair up at night and at the gym
Thank you Curly Susie! Another outstanding video. So helpful. I really appreciate all the work you do to help all of us who have curly hair.
Thanks a million for saying that :)
The hair tie is called an invisibobble hair ring :)
I love my invisibobbles.
I want one😭or- two😂
I have three and they are great because they get out of shape but if you leave them just sitting for five minutes they go back to shape. I love bobbles!
I have a set of the clear invisibobbles, they pull my hair out. Willing to try another color to see if I’ll get different results.
@@reaganluker2278 put them into hot water. They will be back to their old form in a few minutes.
Been watching your videos throughout my cg journey the last 4 months and I had to comment because I got the giggles when you said, “we have a big day today! We’re going to the wiggles concert!” That mom life! 💛
Thanks for this video - going to give it a shot! Can't wait for your next video!!! So excited to see if/how it works for you!
Another trip down memory lane, bringing my grandparents alive for me... "Good enough for the girl I go with" Thanks.
Haha Cape Bretoners have great expressions 🤣
You're so kind. God bless!
You are an angel! Thank you so much for making such great infomative videos. I have pretty much the exact same hair type!
You are my curly twin, I can believe how much my hair is similar to yours, even the curl pattern is same.

oh wow susie we have the same curl pattern!! The top part of my hair is like a 2b wave as well, especially when I wake up! :) I'm very excited for these tips!
I love this little routine.
love your curls!
I’ve been trying to find a refresh routine that works well for me and I found this tutorial really helpful! My curl pattern is very similar to yours in that my top is much looser and everything else I’ve tried has left my hair frizzy once it’s dry. I can’t wait to try this! I am curious how often you do your full wash routine though. Do you mind sharing?
I like Aloe Vera juice or gel, a bit of leave-in conditioner, & a little warm water in a spray bottle to refresh.
You’re so beautiful. Great video as always Susie and man your camera is so good!! X
Thank you for this video. I can't wash my hair everyday even with conditioner because it's so dry. This will help a bunch
Whoop! Love videos where we get to see Black Beauty! Love that hairdryer and diffuser so much! X
Maybe my hairdryer is my secret to great curls lol 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks again Susie! I have ordered some biotera gel a few weeks ago but its coming to Australia from the US and will be here in another week. Just really want to try it. I have not had success with refresh so far but will try your method with the gel and condish I have!😊thanks again!😊
I love Australia!!!
I love your curls and your accent! Thank you for this video. I'm think to try praying hand application.
So accurate. My baby is alwayyyyys doing this to me. 😄❤
Love the video, thank you!!
Looks super good! I have the same next day straight-on-top issue, diffusing works wonders. My go-to is a mix of the Botanique conditioner, Biotera and a hefty amount of water, all together in a spray bottle.

KO-Doc48 hi, so which do you recommend, the milk and ginger gel or biotera? Can you link the ginger gel please?
Thank you
Nice tips re mixing the products!!!'

Ugh, refreshing is my nemesis! I have yet to find what works. It’s either so frizzy or products I try leave it greasy. I’ll give your routine a go since I have all those products as well.
It took me a while to even give it a chance. Didn’t work for me at all in the beginning.
Curly Susie I can’t believe it, this worked for my hair!!!!! I can finally refresh and still look presentable. Thanks :)
So i tried this method like two times and it is LIFECHANGING 😍😍😍 Thank you so much for showing this ❤❤❤❤❤ it's really the easiest method for refreshing. ❤😍
well im convinced that i need a diffuser! love the bounce in your curls!
Faith Walker 👍🏻👍🏻for diffusers! Game-changer.
I need to get a good diffuser. Thank you for the video and have fun!
Hi...ive never heard of the curly girl method. I'm def trying it. It's so nice to know others share my exact hair issues. I can't believe it. Plus...theres solutions!! Haaaa. Thanks much. I'm so glad I saw this channel.
Hi Barbara! Thanks for watching.... it will change your hair & your life :)
Great method for refreshing. I do a similar method but have to use a lot more water until it's really soaked otherwise it gets really stringy or frizzy. I think I have 2b or 2c hair, but it's super thick, very coarse, even my strands are thicker than average-it's a love/hate relationship with my hair LOL.
I love your videos! Thank you for doing this, really useful. Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾
You are my favorite cg youtuber! The only one I am subscribed to. I am obsessed and have been binge watching in case you didn't notice lol!
Thanks a million Willow!!! When I started my channel a year ago I never thought there would be a day when people would binge watch my channel the way I binge watch other people’s channels. It’s the best 💕
Yes even I binge watch. I have watched her everyday routine video for like 7 or 8 times
I cannot wait to try this today. I can almost never make it to 3rd day hair because my hair looks like a mess! However, I hope this will help!
I love ur videos, you are a great inspiration to me 😘❤
Your hair is so lush and pretty. I wish my hair was long again.
I have been having good results with putting some conditioner in the spray bottle and putting some leave-in conditioner on my hair the night before. I will have to give this a try.
❤️👍🏼 I need to try the Refresh Technique
Love your accent! We have very similar hair, but I just broke my natural streak and highlighted at home 😔 any recommendations on replenishing moisture after coloring?
Omg I finally found someone who has my hair pattern!!!!
Going to have to try this refresh. I usually spray it all over with diluted cream, scrunch in gel, scrunch upside down and diffuse and my hair gets real stringy. :o/
Love this video, I have very similar hair and find all the tips so useful! This is basically a video of my struggle every day as I wash probably every second day. Have you every tried henna wax for deep conditioning? I get the best big soft wavy curls from that but can't do it every day so keen for any similar ideas. Thanks and keep being curly! :-)
seems easier to just shower and start over. I was jealous of those who can have second and third day hair... now after watching many videos on refreshing, I'm okay with starting over daily and doing a refresh once in a while... I love your videos!
I find it I use product every day my hair gets weighed down, so I just damp my hair and scrunch it with a trashier I've also noticed in my ten weeks doing cg method that my hair is super glossy I've never had really glossy hair and I just air dry I've done no heat for ten weeks I'm really pleased with myself, and your hair looks amazing I wish mine would go like that but it's early days yet
wendy wendy Same! I tried using products like this for three days in a row and my hair got really weighed down. Some days this may work, but my usual refresh is to dampen/wet all my hair in the sink (but not soaking wet), turn my hair upside down, and then scrunch a curling cream through it.
Thank you so much. Could I possibly add some conditioner and gel into the bottle of water, shake, and spray with similar results? Always looking for faster refreshes.
Yes! Works really well :)
Very similar to how I refresh. If I want a lighter looser look I'll skip the gel and just use the leave-in, but I only have 2c hair, if I had more curls I'd be more ready to diffuse and use more gel.
I also had no idea The Wiggles were still around! My little brother used to looove them when he was a tot, about 15 years ago now?
Thanks for your Tutorials I'm a newbie have learned a lot thamks
Great video, as always. I just love your videos! I'm about 5 months into CGM and I'm still getting the hang of what my hair likes and doesn't, but the one thing I tried that is my go to is bioterra gel, and I only tried it because I saw it on your videos.
It’s my all time must have product
I wish I could get hold of it in Spain! 😩
your methods look really promising (Y) and it gives me hope that I can have beautiful hair, definitely I am going to try . .. I have too frizzy and naturally curly hair, are you sure the gel which you use will help?
Worked awesome!!!
Love your videos I’ve been trying to get my curls back - what a slow process. My hair underneath is curling again but front and top is not completely there. I also find the hair that’s lightened doesn’t curl - don’t know if the chemicals caused it 🤔 but haven’t given up. BTW my husband luvs curly hair. Question do you know if glazing or Olaplex restricts your hair from curling?
My kids are watching a show and I wanted to watch this so I put my phone speaker up to my ear so I could just hear your tutorial and I can hear faintly paw patrol in the background. Hahaha! I cannot survive without that show!
Haha Willson loves it!
You can also buy those coil hair elastic bands at the dollar store as well. I also have a diffuser that doesn't fit on my hairdryer held together with duct tape.
I think that’s the secret to a great hairdryer.
I love the simplicity of your routines ,that's what I need.I have no patience with doing my hair. Does the gel you use leave a cast?
Depends on how much you use!!
Me too! I gave in the curly to make life easier and so I appreciate when people make my routine quicker and/or cheaper
Can you do this without leave in conditioner? So just water and gel
Hey Susie, great video! What do you think about using home made flex seeds gel? Have you tried it before?
I was thinking about mixing the conditioner and gel into the water bottle. Is there any reason this might not work well? Btw thanks for your videos, so far they have been the easiest way for me to learn how to care for my curly hair.
Love this refresh vid! I might give it a try tomorrow ☺️ and I Finally got into the city and got some Bioterra Gel at Sally's! Yay! Loved taking my nephew to The Wiggles last year when he was your sons age!
Love your channel! FYI....I have tried a boat LOAD of different styling products, over priced and drug store. The Biotera is the absolute best of all! Thanks for the tips!
It really is the best! I’m obsessed.
I do the EXACT same thing as you S, except I actually have just blended my leave-in and my gel in with the water in the spray bottle; shake it up, and spray and do the praying hands, etc., etc., and I get pretty much the same result. A little less product build-up for my personal hair type between shampoos. Loved you confirming it works for you too! 😀👍🏻
That was my old method... I just find this works a bit better for me :)
What are your ratios, KO?
Looks lovely
Love it!!!!
Your hair looks super nice, what kind of defuser do you use?
The hair tie is called Invisibobble and I swear by them! When they get stretched out you can shrink them back to shape with a hairdryer.
You're amazing thank you so much
