@@PMGlademe too lol. My hair can also be a mix of 2b,2c and 3a all at once since my curls love to be inconsistent and have different patterns on different spots on my head.
@@Amalingright? Real straight hair is actually so rare and uncommon. Most people just damage their wave pattern to a point it behaves like straigt hair
this video made me realize my hair is slightly wavy 😭😭 like my hair has been so frizzy ever since I got layers but I followed your advice , and my mum was like wow it looks like you finally brushed your hair. Thanks for the advice like my hair has been my biggest enemy 😭😭
literally, like i’d come out of my room ready to go out and my mom would be like “youre not gonna brush your hair ?” umm i just did 😭 luckily i learned how to style it now
I swear, wavy is soo much more common than we think. Wavies just think that their hair is naturally frizzy and unruly and start beating it into submission with heat and stuff like keratin treatments. If someone says that they have straight hair that NEEDS straightening I immediately think "No, you're a wavy". Also, I was told many times that I HAD to diffuse. Nope. I hate loud stuff. I won't even let stylists diffuse or blow dry me. There WILL be some frizz if there is wind or humidity if your hair is not straight. We just need to accept it.
My hair before kids and coloring was straight and shiny. Now at 33, I developed the poof and it’s just gotten worse in the last year. Now I know why. 😂😅😢
@@mimil8677 In this case, I want to say probably not. Damage from coloring can make straight hair dull, poofy and frizzy. So it's likely that it's still straight, but just really damaged if it happened around the time you started coloring it a lot. Hormonal changes like pregnancy CAN change your hair texture but I think it's rare. I have mostly seen these changes during puberty, menopause or after chemotherapy. So you just have to experiment and figure out whether it's wavy, damaged or both. If it happened after coloring, I think it's definitely damaged whether it's now wavy or not.
@@mchobbit2951I did bayalage a year ago (2nd time ever) and it wasn’t like this. it’s def wavy when wet. My aunt has the same issue. Thick wavy hair runs in my family that’s for sure lol. We just never know how to manage it. My Pilates instructor said her hair turned super curly in her twenties when she had kids. she’s 53 now and very curly hair. I’ll experiment tomorrow bc I’m not liking my hair right now. I thought a haircut will help and I just got one last week. Still the same 😅
@@mimil8677 Yeah, I heard of it happening during pregnancy so it's possible though I do think it's not very common for the change to be that extreme (straight to very curly). With the extra info, it does sound like it's wavy but probably also damaged.

@@user-jy3zl2vp4b for sure! My hair is very thick and long and my head gets sweat easily. I learned that sometimes psoriasis can just be caused by your scalp getting too hot because yeast grows. And turns into psoriasis . I know it sounds gross but that will help you understand it! That's how I learned about the cold water. 👍👍👍👍
First off, thank you for this. I too have frizzy/pouffy hair and secondly I laughed so hard when you said expect the unexpected, cause my waves are literally different each time I wash it.
real. before i learned how to actually style my hair, sometimes I’d just come out the shower and when it dried it looked so good and the next day would do the same thing and it was just super frizzy, unless you style your hair it’ll just do whatever it wants 😭
I've somehow got to the age of 33 without realising for myself (or anyone ever noticing, including hairdressers!) that my hair type is wavy and THIS video is exactly what I needed to help guide me on my new hair care journey. Of all the videos for waves I've come across, this is by FAR the quickest and easiest way to care for natural waves and it WORKS. After one wash my waves are already looking defined so I can't wait to see how they look down the line once I really start to look after them. Thank you so much for your no frills advice girly.
OMGGGG this makes me so happy thank u for commenting!!! And yes, hairdressers have always told me my hair was damaged and to lay off the heat tools when I never use them in the first place lolll. Our hair type is rlly something else hahaha
I figured it out at 36. Came close as a teen after using the diffuser but I thought that’s what it’s meant to do, even on straight hair 🤦🏻♀️ I wish someone had told me that all I need is leave-in conditioner or curl cream in soaking hair and I’m good to go.
Same! I still don't know if my hair is wavy, but everyone in my family on my father's side has curly hair, and my sister has wavy hair, but somehow my hair has always been straight straight straight. But also frizzy! And recently I went to get my hair cut and I complained about how my hair is so straight and hard to work with, and the hairdresser was like, no, you definitely have a natural wave in your hair, and I was just 🤯 so now I'm thinking maybe I should try a hair car method like this for a while and see what happens. But it also feels weird to suddenly think of my hair as wavy when I've always been complaining about it being so naturally straight 😂
this is super helpful i'm in my 30s and just want to stop being embarrassed by my frizzy hair at work, but also i cannot even imagine spending a billion hours on the other hair routines i've watched. i am excited to try this!
Loved the video girl but for the girlies who are broke or still live under their parents roof or as a teen who may have strict parents (no shade thrown towards my desi parents) try convincing your parents to buy you the pink Johnson’s baby shampoo. It worked for me, maybe didn’t fix my wave pattern (my hair is still figuring itself out) but it did help tame the frizz which is a must for us girlies who report to school at like 7.30 am. Bonus: If you need hydration like really need it but don’t want heavy products. Use aloe Vera gel (natural or store bought. It’s versatile so your parents may let you buy it) with any oil (castor, olive, coconut etc) as per your choice, mix it up and plop it in your hair and leave it on for like 30 mins. Rinse it off with the aforementioned shampoo and tada. No more dehydrated frizz ridden lions mane! (I used fresh aloe with castor as required according to your length and thickness)
this feels so inspiring because you make it seem very doable with not that many products !! my hair is always frizzy and poofy, others would tell me to brush it :( and it gets worse. thanks for the video !
so real, main reason why i never got to taking care of my hair properly is due to the amount of steps that needed to be done and the amount of products i need to use accdg to most of the tutorials out there
I honestly love how chill and real you are about how frequently you do this and the products you use - I don't care for fancy wallet-draining products that takes hours to do with little gain. I love simple and easy, and you nailed it! Will definitely give this a go! :)
I just started high school and I was looking at how other people straight hair was so pretty and perfect and it’s making me insecure about mine because of how frizzy and poofy it is. Especially because I live in a very humid place. I’m going to try this routine and I hope it works! This is the first video that actually gives me hope because it mentions my hair type exactly! And to see you went through the before phase and got into the after phase to look so pretty like that I have so much hope.
Thank u veryyy much. I have straight hair, and I was feeling really insecure. Since straight hair is bland, boring, ugly, thin, and not that gorgeous. So I feel much better 😔💗
@@Dreamycupid in my opinion, straight hair is gorgeous! You can do so many hairstyles with it and overall it’s very cool. As well as every hair type in general is very beautiful and everyone who has curly, wavy, or straight hair. I’m glad you feel better! ❤️🩹
Gotta tellya personally as a 30somthing person , altho it can b a pain in the butt and finicky and high maintenance at times I really lov having wavy hair I hope u find wat works best for yours☺️💗
It is soo nice seeing someone who has that same hair type (what you described as poofy and frizzy because that's exactly what I have). I realize part of my problem is that I have very little patience and interest in the after-shower care! To do that all the darn time, I'm in awe how much time people put into their appearance. Hope to get there but it feels so laborious. Thank you so much for showing us this! It is quite simple and worth a shot.
You might want to try a sea salt spray. They work best on damp hair, so you can blot your hair out of the shower like usual, flip your head around a bit while applying the spray to get it reasonably distributed, scrunch a little, and then let it air dry. It should dry pretty quickly compared to other curly styling products, similar to how fast your hair air-dries with no product in it. It won’t be frizz-free, but it will bring out the curl and give you more definition and volume. Sea salt sprays can make your hair feel a bit rough though. What I do is rake a very small amount of a curl cream through my soaking wet hair while I’m still in the shower, right after rinsing out my conditioner, then blot the excess water out of my hair and do the sea salt spray as described above (and then take my dog for her morning walk so it dries very quickly in the sun). I find this makes my hair feel a lot nicer, but it doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it take forever to dry. (A leave-in conditioner would probably also work for this if you have one that you like.) A nice thing about going for an intentionally semi-frizzy “beachy” look is that it’s very easy to extend for multiple days. You can clip your hair up in the shower the next day and just let the humidity of the shower reactivate the products in your hair and then lightly scrunch any areas where the curl fell out or got weird or squished while you were sleeping. You can also use a water mister bottle if you’re not a daily showerer or just need more moisture, but just to make it very lightly damp for re-scrunching, not wet. It’ll frizz a bit from the re-scrunching, but that’s okay, it was never going to look perfectly tidy with this method anyway. If you feel like you need a little more oomph, you can use some more sea salt spray too, but I almost never do.
@@ossifiedtoad798 Thank you so much for taking the time to write this tip and explaining how to apply it! I really appreciate it and will look into it! Much love 💕
Omg I think I have the exact same hair type as you, and every time I search for wavy hair tutorials, the videos are usually catered towards wavier hair girls using too many products (to my liking at least). Glad to have found your video, Asian wavy hair and a less tedious process 🤣 definitely trying out the gel serum
lol yes so relatable! I tried those routines and they were so tedious + I found weighed my hair down probs bc it's on the looser end so it didn't work well anyways. I hope this works for u!
Im a dude with what i thought was just crazy fizzy long hair. my sister sent me this knowing that i look for solutions for that frizz. i plan to try this tomorrow(its like 1:00 am) thank you for this routine! Edit: holy shit it worked, still frizzy but not puffy as hell. Still looking for other stuff for it and if any of you have recommendations id be happy to hear them
I had the STRAIGHTEST hair as a child, but as I grew older, it started to get all poofy. My mom told me that she was the same as child, she had straight hair and it transformed into curly hair (which is what she has now), I therefore thought I had curly too and forced curls by using her products but that only damaged mine 😭 I did some more investigating, I took in the realization that wavy hair exists and it’s not only straight or curly. I’m currently reviving my hair and I love this video, thanks gang 🙏
I'm so glad I found this video! As far as I can tell I have wavy hair but everyone online with wavy hair have a lot more texture which makes me doubt myself again, but I feel validated now
Omg yes!! You understand. I sometimes still think maybe I don’t have wavy hair but then have to remind myself wavy can be anywhere from straight wavy to curly wavy lol
The hair pattern chart very often goes : 1, 2a 2b 2c, 3a... and so on, where 1 is this bone straight, shiny hair and 2a is a very obvious wave. When I first saw a chart with 1a, 1b and 1c I got the lightbulb moment. My hair is not damaged 2a or something. It's just not the super straight 1a, but the slightly, barely there, not really wavy, 1c. 😂 So, maybe you are the same.
i’ve always suspected that i don’t have fully straight hair, but i’ve never seen anyone with hair like mine, so i figured i was just overthinking it. until i saw this video. thank you for the quick and simple tutorial! gonna try it out this weekend.
My hair is def wavy. A lot of wavy hair tutorials give me really flat hair. I’ve started wet brushing mine upside down and then plopping it for 30mins or so. It makes my hair a little poofier the next day, but I kinda like it. Makes it look wild with some personality
Omgg, I cant tell u how refreshing it is to finally see someone not using hundreds of expensive products or doing a routine that takes alot of time and energy. I like ur minimalistic routine and vibes. Thanku so much for this bcz not everybody can afford those fancy products❤
Just a water (and money) saving tip: you can turn off the tap when you shampoo your hair 😊 It might seem stupid but I didn't think of it for a long time 😄
I've been growing my hair since 2019 and throughout the years I was fighting to get my hair to be straight.. as I've learnt to accept it, watching this video made me feel happy about my hair. I just needed to learn how to care for it properly. thank you!!
YES!! And honestly on the days when my hair is straight, I just let it be straight instead of making waves in the way that media typically represents them :) thanks for watching 💕💕
i gave up a while ago on even caring about my frizzy wavy hair because i'm lazy... but when you said one product, i say hey! i could manage that haha gonna try it 😀
What I do is right after I blow dry I immediately twist them and put it up with clip and few mins later I'm all ready with waves that looks like saloon made and it actually stays with any setting spray or cream
Omg i have the exact same wave pattern as you do! Its very loose like yours and i have multiple wave patterns and straight hair pattern! i struggle finding a fellow asain as i am also asain, i haven't found alot of asain people with my hair at all so its really good that I found you!.
Thank you for this video sister! I have the same type of hair and am really tired of seeing the hair product commercials announcing our frizzy hair as the unhealthy type. I feel at ease now cuz ain't nothing wrong with my hair that I know it is just characteristics of it.
Finally 😭 Someone with the exact same hair type as me. Frizzy + fine + loose waves is so hard to tame ugh! I want to bring back my natural waves and stop brushing my hair so much 😭 thank u for this 🫶
thank you so much, you're a lifesaver! i ended up buying that rhyme&reason wave revival stuff, and i followed what you did in your video, and my hair has never looked better! my hair's been especially frizzy from bleaching/dyeing it often, but now it is actually healthy-looking. THANK YOU!
SOO glad I found this videeo!! My hair is also torn between straight and wavy and I don't want to buy a ton of products for hair, but I'm also desperate for a solution to the poofiness. Thanks so much for this!!!
Yep. Try a few different products to find whats right for you. But stay away from products with alcohol, mineral oil and parafin . And the trick is to comb it while its wet, apply product, rewet a little then scrunch and air dry. ❤❤.
Ooooohhhh.....I think this is the answer to my hair problems at long last!!! I gotta order the product asap and then give this process a go. THANK YOU!!!
as a part asian with the same kind of hair i am so grateful to you 😭! this routine does not seem undeniably long and complicated and i felt so so understood thank you so so much xxxx
Y'all don't know how long I thought I just had "straight hair" with some frizz until I saw this video,so greatfull someone is finally making a video for the wavy hair people and not using 10 billion products on their hair
Omg thank you for making this video. I think of all the wavy hair care vids I've watched yours is the closest to mine bc others are way more wavier than mine, whereas I tend to fluctuate between wavy and straight sometimes. Also the way you explained the different types of waves helped a lot and assured me that it's not always the same every time. Much love!!
Amazing tutorial! I feel nobody talks about putting conditioner in not super wet hair, but its so important. And I also have a tip for frizz, when your hair is dry you can but a hydrating/curl holding cream product in and the frizz is gone. I wouldn’t recommend oil products except for really thick hair. And than you don’t need to rewet it so much, which can be good for people with really slow drying hair.
I bought it, and I works!! I’ve only used it once so far but I’m gonna try it a few more times then update yall (unless I forget) TYSM FOR THIS!!! Nothing ever works for me so this helped me soo much!!
Questions: 1. What if most of the frizz is near my roots/scalp? Should i spread the products there? 2. How do you wear your hair when sleeping? Do you just sleep as is with the products or wear a bonnet? 3. How often do you do this routine in a week and how do you find time in your mornings? Or is this done at night so that hair is read by morning? (though I worry that the hair will turn frizzy after sleeping)
It’s like divine intervention I came across your video lol I have about the same length and thickness of hair, and it’s always frizzy. Thank you for all the info! ❤️
I have the same type of hair, sometimes it is straight and sometimes unruly. That is why I've always had keratin treatment to make my hair straight all the time. But now that I've seen your video I might try this one out. Thanks!
I have wavy hair that takes hours to dry. Since it doesn't get frizzy & kinda straightens due to weight I don't worry about products. It would look good for one day & then feel weird the next 6 until I wash it again. It gets washed on Sunday so I don't have to worry about wet hair while at work. I find just using really good quality products to wash & condition & using a cotton hair towel is enough to scrunch in some waves that stay looking nice until I braid my hair for night, which just gives it braid waves instead.
I thought for years I have "straight" hair but in recent years, I finally understood that I have straight roots and wavy ends. Actually, I used to have curly hair when I was a toddler, but my hair straightened through age. Many people with wavy hair had curly hair in their early childhood before it naturally straightened.
I noticed my hair frizzes out with heavy chlorinated tap water, and thrives in rain catchment water. (Used to live offgrid). So a water filter on the shower head helps too. Also, wearing your hair in a twisted bun or braid as it dries really helps the waves. A coconut oil treatment every once in awhile. I would say water quality and moisture locking is the most important theme here.
I am almost 17 right now and I have had frizzy hair after hair wash since forever. Only a few months back I started using this anti- frizz livon hair serum after wash and it has really worked out for me. I also have really greasy hair which leads to a lot of dandruff building up on my scalp hence clarifying shampoo is also really pertinent for a scalp like mine. Just wanted to share my wavy hair care routine..hope it helps :))
I have wavy hair. I just use a lot of hydrating products and keep my hair in a twisted style. Then whenever it is loose, it is just big curls/waves. Still have some frizzy bits just around the face
Yes I love this! Basically my exact routine, except I also do sea salt before the gel, but I even use that same serum! It’s super cheap too. i also sometimes use the Not Your Mother’s Curl Cream, it’s very lightweight and moisturizing and also doesn’t leave a cast. I like that you brush it out and rewet it, I think that might help my bangs because I basically don’t touch it when I get out of the shower so they end up looking either super crazy (they’re the curliest part of my hair) or kinda wonky half waves because I combed them out
I usually shower at night and I woke up this morning and there were a ton of waves in my hair but it was SUPER frizzy and dry. My mom has gone through this "thinking her hair was straight" phase except her curls are a lot more defined now, so here I am doing my research. Thanks for all the advice! I'm excited to try it (and see how my hair stands versus Florida humidity!)
it's so nice to see someone with a similar hair type to mine who has a realistic and simple routine. i wish i found out about this sooner bc i just bought three curling products and they're on the pricier side :(( will definitely try this routine :3 thank you!
Girl thank you so much for making + posting this video. I’ve been wondering if my “straight” hair is actually wavy for a good while, and seeing your before photos made me go “!!! that looks like my hair!!! that looks like my hair!!!” I’m now definitely wanting to take a go at your hair routine (which is so wonderfully simple, by the way! I love that you don’t use a million and a half products lol) and I’m *very* curious to see what’ll happen! This was such an enjoyable video to watch too 😊 you seem so chill and it’s awesome.
Amazing! It's so funny cuz I did not realize until recently my hair was not just wavy but CURLY~Q !! I blindly ruined my hair blow drying n straightening all my life. Thanks for this 💛💫💚
I was 37 when i realized my hair was not straight and that 20 years of straightening with a flat iron was killing it. So dry and split ends etc. I started deep conditioning weekly and actually a very curly pattern emerged. I only brush when my hair is dripping wet and always diffuse. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self that the friz wasn't normal and most people's hair doesn't curl when it's wet lol
my upper half is straight and my bottom half is wavy and my bottom half always had a little bit of frizz, this video has helped me a lot. thank you so much ❤❤❤
Always thought that my asian hair was "frizzy" straight type, tried all of this routine and in just a month my hair turned super soft and fabulous 😂❤ (I also only use 1 product after shower it's a gel and when sleeping use a silk bonnet as well) 😊
I didn’t think my hair was a wavy type! Thank you for this video, it informed me a lot. Because the side of my bangs curl even when the rest of the hair are somewhat straight (what I thought) and I hate it. 😭
You need to try finger coiling (rolling a piece of hair upside with your fingers). It makes your waves more defined. It is complicated in the beginning but then it is actually fun to do! Plop your hair for 5-10 min it also great. I brush my hair before shower and then after shower with leave-in conditioner using wet brush or wide tooth comb. The other days, I gently finger detangling my hair every morning. I want to try using salt spray but have not yet.
I was todays years old to discover i have wavy hair, ive always wondered why my hair was always so frizzy and tangled no matter what i do. But it was bcus i was treating it like straight hair😂
0:11-0:33 1:05 she yaps a lot but basically just, ensure your hair is soaked. 2:18 try and take out as much watee as you can from your hair. Leave condition in for rest of shower until you finish then rinse. 4:40 wave styling. Scrunch scrunch 6:47 - final technique/results/yapping
Thanks for the video! What will you do for day-two hair? Will you attempt to brush/comb it or will you do a co-wash? I have very similar wave pattern as you do, and I struggle with styling my hair the next day as it’s too bed-heady to not comb, but combining also makes it pouffy af, so I’m curious what you do! 😊
Thank you for this, I just started college and I’m STILL searching for a good routine to get rid of my frizz. I’ll try this out, hopefully it goes well!

probably not. Damage from coloring can make straight hair dull, poofy and frizzy. So it's likely that it's still straight, but just really damaged if it happened around the time you started coloring it a lot.
Hormonal changes like pregnancy CAN change your hair texture but I think it's rare. I have mostly seen these changes during puberty, menopause or after chemotherapy. So you just have to experiment and figure out whether it's wavy, damaged or both. If it happened after coloring, I think it's definitely damaged whether it's now wavy or not.

Loved the video girl but for the girlies who are broke or still live under their parents roof or as a teen who may have strict parents (no shade thrown towards my desi parents) try convincing your parents to buy you the pink Johnson’s baby shampoo. It worked for me, maybe didn’t fix my wave pattern (my hair is still figuring itself out) but it did help tame the frizz which is a must for us girlies who report to school at like 7.30 am.
Bonus:
If you need hydration like really need it but don’t want heavy products. Use aloe Vera gel (natural or store bought. It’s versatile so your parents may let you buy it) with any oil (castor, olive, coconut etc) as per your choice, mix it up and plop it in your hair and leave it on for like 30 mins. Rinse it off with the aforementioned shampoo and tada. No more dehydrated frizz ridden lions mane!
(I used fresh aloe with castor as required according to your length and thickness)
Do u put them on ur scalp as well as ends??
@@tiarabarboza5 yupp. If you can gently massage it for a few mins if you have fine hair, don’t
@@ina2099 okay thankk you :)
The pink shampoo its the same in every country? Idk exactly what to buy 😢pls help
@@Nayibe_Maldonado Heyyy. It’s the Active Kids Shiny Drops Shampoo. I believe it’s the same every where though I could be wrong
this feels so inspiring because you make it seem very doable with not that many products !! my hair is always frizzy and poofy, others would tell me to brush it :( and it gets worse. thanks for the video !
this means so much ty!! I felt the same way too (overwhelmed by products and annoyed at the hair brushing comment lol). thanks for watching 💕💕
so real, main reason why i never got to taking care of my hair properly is due to the amount of steps that needed to be done and the amount of products i need to use accdg to most of the tutorials out there
I honestly love how chill and real you are about how frequently you do this and the products you use - I don't care for fancy wallet-draining products that takes hours to do with little gain. I love simple and easy, and you nailed it! Will definitely give this a go! :)
Haha yesss easy breezy is the way to go :))
I just started high school and I was looking at how other people straight hair was so pretty and perfect and it’s making me insecure about mine because of how frizzy and poofy it is. Especially because I live in a very humid place. I’m going to try this routine and I hope it works! This is the first video that actually gives me hope because it mentions my hair type exactly! And to see you went through the before phase and got into the after phase to look so pretty like that I have so much hope.
Hi , sweetie wassup
Omg same!
Thank u veryyy much. I have straight hair, and I was feeling really insecure. Since straight hair is bland, boring, ugly, thin, and not that gorgeous. So I feel much better 😔💗
@@Dreamycupid in my opinion, straight hair is gorgeous! You can do so many hairstyles with it and overall it’s very cool. As well as every hair type in general is very beautiful and everyone who has curly, wavy, or straight hair. I’m glad you feel better! ❤️🩹
Gotta tellya personally as a 30somthing person , altho it can b a pain in the butt and finicky and high maintenance at times I really lov having wavy hair I hope u find wat works best for yours☺️💗
It is soo nice seeing someone who has that same hair type (what you described as poofy and frizzy because that's exactly what I have). I realize part of my problem is that I have very little patience and interest in the after-shower care! To do that all the darn time, I'm in awe how much time people put into their appearance. Hope to get there but it feels so laborious. Thank you so much for showing us this! It is quite simple and worth a shot.
You might want to try a sea salt spray. They work best on damp hair, so you can blot your hair out of the shower like usual, flip your head around a bit while applying the spray to get it reasonably distributed, scrunch a little, and then let it air dry. It should dry pretty quickly compared to other curly styling products, similar to how fast your hair air-dries with no product in it. It won’t be frizz-free, but it will bring out the curl and give you more definition and volume.
Sea salt sprays can make your hair feel a bit rough though. What I do is rake a very small amount of a curl cream through my soaking wet hair while I’m still in the shower, right after rinsing out my conditioner, then blot the excess water out of my hair and do the sea salt spray as described above (and then take my dog for her morning walk so it dries very quickly in the sun). I find this makes my hair feel a lot nicer, but it doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it take forever to dry. (A leave-in conditioner would probably also work for this if you have one that you like.)
A nice thing about going for an intentionally semi-frizzy “beachy” look is that it’s very easy to extend for multiple days. You can clip your hair up in the shower the next day and just let the humidity of the shower reactivate the products in your hair and then lightly scrunch any areas where the curl fell out or got weird or squished while you were sleeping. You can also use a water mister bottle if you’re not a daily showerer or just need more moisture, but just to make it very lightly damp for re-scrunching, not wet. It’ll frizz a bit from the re-scrunching, but that’s okay, it was never going to look perfectly tidy with this method anyway. If you feel like you need a little more oomph, you can use some more sea salt spray too, but I almost never do.
@@ossifiedtoad798 Thank you so much for taking the time to write this tip and explaining how to apply it! I really appreciate it and will look into it! Much love 💕
Man. I'm 41 and just learning about this today. Ive needed this my whole life and no one could be bothered to tell me how to fix it.
so many ppl don't know ab this hair type so we are just left to fend for our own lol
Omg I think I have the exact same hair type as you, and every time I search for wavy hair tutorials, the videos are usually catered towards wavier hair girls using too many products (to my liking at least). Glad to have found your video, Asian wavy hair and a less tedious process 🤣 definitely trying out the gel serum
lol yes so relatable! I tried those routines and they were so tedious + I found weighed my hair down probs bc it's on the looser end so it didn't work well anyways. I hope this works for u!
Im a dude with what i thought was just crazy fizzy long hair. my sister sent me this knowing that i look for solutions for that frizz. i plan to try this tomorrow(its like 1:00 am) thank you for this routine!
Edit: holy shit it worked, still frizzy but not puffy as hell. Still looking for other stuff for it and if any of you have recommendations id be happy to hear them
omg yay!!!
I had the STRAIGHTEST hair as a child, but as I grew older, it started to get all poofy. My mom told me that she was the same as child, she had straight hair and it transformed into curly hair (which is what she has now), I therefore thought I had curly too and forced curls by using her products but that only damaged mine 😭 I did some more investigating, I took in the realization that wavy hair exists and it’s not only straight or curly. I’m currently reviving my hair and I love this video, thanks gang 🙏
I’m the opposite lol. I used to have curly hair as a kid but it straightened out a bit and now it’s wavy
I'm so glad I found this video! As far as I can tell I have wavy hair but everyone online with wavy hair have a lot more texture which makes me doubt myself again, but I feel validated now
Omg yes!! You understand. I sometimes still think maybe I don’t have wavy hair but then have to remind myself wavy can be anywhere from straight wavy to curly wavy lol
The hair pattern chart very often goes : 1, 2a 2b 2c, 3a... and so on, where 1 is this bone straight, shiny hair and 2a is a very obvious wave.
When I first saw a chart with 1a, 1b and 1c I got the lightbulb moment. My hair is not damaged 2a or something. It's just not the super straight 1a, but the slightly, barely there, not really wavy, 1c. 😂
So, maybe you are the same.
OK, wow, your "before" pictures are EXACTLY what my hair always looks like when I try to brush it out "all nice and smooth" (lol) and wear it down!
im glad you didn't use a diffuser bc i hate the loudness too lol! going to try this
lol u get it bahaha
i’ve always suspected that i don’t have fully straight hair, but i’ve never seen anyone with hair like mine, so i figured i was just overthinking it. until i saw this video. thank you for the quick and simple tutorial! gonna try it out this weekend.
My hair is def wavy. A lot of wavy hair tutorials give me really flat hair. I’ve started wet brushing mine upside down and then plopping it for 30mins or so. It makes my hair a little poofier the next day, but I kinda like it. Makes it look wild with some personality
Such a good tip to get volume lol
It's in the video
Thanks I just realised shortly after I posted the question 🙃
Omgg, I cant tell u how refreshing it is to finally see someone not using hundreds of expensive products or doing a routine that takes alot of time and energy. I like ur minimalistic routine and vibes. Thanku so much for this bcz not everybody can afford those fancy products❤
Just a water (and money) saving tip: you can turn off the tap when you shampoo your hair 😊
It might seem stupid but I didn't think of it for a long time 😄
my wavy hair is very abundant and thick so I'm scared about the non brushing, but definitely going to try this ... thanks!!
Combing in shower helps too! Or while your hair wet, just not when it's dry lolol
@@MatchaMaddie Hi love, I'm following your tips, but, what do you do next day to fix the hair? or do you wash the hair every day? :-)
@@EsmissssI'm currious of this too. Thanks❤
@@Esmissssi would say add oil, but im not 100% sure as i havent tried this routine yet (frizz free oil, shiny oil, etc)
I've been growing my hair since 2019 and throughout the years I was fighting to get my hair to be straight.. as I've learnt to accept it, watching this video made me feel happy about my hair. I just needed to learn how to care for it properly. thank you!!
YES!! And honestly on the days when my hair is straight, I just let it be straight instead of making waves in the way that media typically represents them :) thanks for watching 💕💕
i gave up a while ago on even caring about my frizzy wavy hair because i'm lazy... but when you said one product, i say hey! i could manage that haha gonna try it 😀
Girl you are saving my life cause I was always confused on why my hair looks so bad and frizzy when u live in a desert
Your natural texture is what straight hair girlies vie for with those heatless curls
What I do is right after I blow dry I immediately twist them and put it up with clip and few mins later I'm all ready with waves that looks like saloon made and it actually stays with any setting spray or cream
wait that might be a hack
Thank you for this! I’m 43 and have never understood how to care for my wavy hair.
Thanks for your comment!! It’s definitely a journey lol
I was overwhelmed with the number of steps the other influencers were showing your video is like 1 2 3 and done!
Omg i have the exact same wave pattern as you do! Its very loose like yours and i have multiple wave patterns and straight hair pattern! i struggle finding a fellow asain as i am also asain, i haven't found alot of asain people with my hair at all so its really good that I found you!.
Yessss hello glad you can relate!! Writing you back with mostly straight hair today lol
Thank you for this video sister! I have the same type of hair and am really tired of seeing the hair product commercials announcing our frizzy hair as the unhealthy type. I feel at ease now cuz ain't nothing wrong with my hair that I know it is just characteristics of it.
Finally 😭 Someone with the exact same hair type as me. Frizzy + fine + loose waves is so hard to tame ugh! I want to bring back my natural waves and stop brushing my hair so much 😭 thank u for this 🫶
YESSS ME TOO!!
thank youu, this video is WHAT I NEEDED
YAYYYY
thank you so much, you're a lifesaver! i ended up buying that rhyme&reason wave revival stuff, and i followed what you did in your video, and my hair has never looked better!
my hair's been especially frizzy from bleaching/dyeing it often, but now it is actually healthy-looking.
THANK YOU!
i am SO GLAD to hear that!! that makes me so happy :))
OMG THANK YOU so much for this video!! I followed your advice today and I can work WITH my hair instead of fighting it all these years!!!!
OMG YAYYYY
Daaang i dont think i can get this product in canada but this tutorial is awesome for the not-straight not-entirely wavy crowd.. thank you!!
thank you!! I'm also not sure if they're in Canada but any other gel/wave serum might be worth a try as an alternative :))
GIRL you are a lifesaver 💋💋
Bahahha glad I could help xoxo
Your hair is beautiful. Cut is important as well. Wavy and curly hair need layers (I feel).
The difficulty is finding a hairdresser who knows what to do with waves though i think
SOO glad I found this videeo!! My hair is also torn between straight and wavy and I don't want to buy a ton of products for hair, but I'm also desperate for a solution to the poofiness. Thanks so much for this!!!
Yep. Try a few different products to find whats right for you. But stay away from products with alcohol, mineral oil and parafin .
And the trick is to comb it while its wet, apply product, rewet a little then scrunch and air dry.
❤❤.
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I have to use a hairdryer. I have severe pain in my neck and back if I don't dry my hair. Any tips are appreciated.
Ooooohhhh.....I think this is the answer to my hair problems at long last!!! I gotta order the product asap and then give this process a go. THANK YOU!!!
as a part asian with the same kind of hair i am so grateful to you 😭! this routine does not seem undeniably long and complicated and i felt so so understood thank you so so much xxxx
I love how genuine and down to earth you are considering how much clickbaity content we are fed into on a daily basis
Really needed this fix ❤
Y'all don't know how long I thought I just had "straight hair" with some frizz until I saw this video,so greatfull someone is finally making a video for the wavy hair people and not using 10 billion products on their hair
Omg thank you for making this video. I think of all the wavy hair care vids I've watched yours is the closest to mine bc others are way more wavier than mine, whereas I tend to fluctuate between wavy and straight sometimes. Also the way you explained the different types of waves helped a lot and assured me that it's not always the same every time. Much love!!
Tysm for watching!! Yes I totally get what u mean - most wavy hair ppl have wavier hair than us so it makes us doubt our wavy potential 🤣
Glad that I found this!!! The humidity is killing me hair and I don’t know how to style it
Not only a great video, but your voice is super soothing! You could easily make great ASMR videos!
Omg that means sm thank u!!
I stop doing hot dryers and treatment because i have a fine wavy hair, like yours! Thank you.for this very easy hair regimen!
Thank you! I'm definitely am going to take better care of my wavy hair. 😅🤞
only took me 48 years to find this...... my hair is the same.
Amazing tutorial! I feel nobody talks about putting conditioner in not super wet hair, but its so important. And I also have a tip for frizz, when your hair is dry you can but a hydrating/curl holding cream product in and the frizz is gone. I wouldn’t recommend oil products except for really thick hair.
And than you don’t need to rewet it so much, which can be good for people with really slow drying hair.
I bought it, and I works!! I’ve only used it once so far but I’m gonna try it a few more times then update yall (unless I forget)
TYSM FOR THIS!!! Nothing ever works for me so this helped me soo much!!
Questions:
1. What if most of the frizz is near my roots/scalp? Should i spread the products there?
2. How do you wear your hair when sleeping? Do you just sleep as is with the products or wear a bonnet?
3. How often do you do this routine in a week and how do you find time in your mornings? Or is this done at night so that hair is read by morning? (though I worry that the hair will turn frizzy after sleeping)
It’s like divine intervention I came across your video lol I have about the same length and thickness of hair, and it’s always frizzy. Thank you for all the info! ❤️
I have the same type of hair, sometimes it is straight and sometimes unruly. That is why I've always had keratin treatment to make my hair straight all the time. But now that I've seen your video I might try this one out. Thanks!
I always just assumed that because I’m Asian I have straight hair, but NO!!! It’s wavy!! This helped me, thank you!!
finally a wavy hair tutorial😭
🫡🫡
It’s so wild to me seeing how similar hair methods are once we put down the straightening tools. Even between wavy hair and my super tight curly hair!
I have wavy hair that takes hours to dry. Since it doesn't get frizzy & kinda straightens due to weight I don't worry about products. It would look good for one day & then feel weird the next 6 until I wash it again. It gets washed on Sunday so I don't have to worry about wet hair while at work. I find just using really good quality products to wash & condition & using a cotton hair towel is enough to scrunch in some waves that stay looking nice until I braid my hair for night, which just gives it braid waves instead.
I thought for years I have "straight" hair but in recent years, I finally understood that I have straight roots and wavy ends.
Actually, I used to have curly hair when I was a toddler, but my hair straightened through age. Many people with wavy hair had curly hair in their early childhood before it naturally straightened.
Thanks so much!!! I have Irish wavy hair and you described me 100%.....I was treating it as straight hair. Thank you!!
I noticed my hair frizzes out with heavy chlorinated tap water, and thrives in rain catchment water. (Used to live offgrid). So a water filter on the shower head helps too. Also, wearing your hair in a twisted bun or braid as it dries really helps the waves. A coconut oil treatment every once in awhile. I would say water quality and moisture locking is the most important theme here.
I am almost 17 right now and I have had frizzy hair after hair wash since forever. Only a few months back I started using this anti- frizz livon hair serum after wash and it has really worked out for me. I also have really greasy hair which leads to a lot of dandruff building up on my scalp hence clarifying shampoo is also really pertinent for a scalp like mine. Just wanted to share my wavy hair care routine..hope it helps :))
I have wavy hair. I just use a lot of hydrating products and keep my hair in a twisted style. Then whenever it is loose, it is just big curls/waves. Still have some frizzy bits just around the face
Yes I love this! Basically my exact routine, except I also do sea salt before the gel, but I even use that same serum! It’s super cheap too. i also sometimes use the Not Your Mother’s Curl Cream, it’s very lightweight and moisturizing and also doesn’t leave a cast. I like that you brush it out and rewet it, I think that might help my bangs because I basically don’t touch it when I get out of the shower so they end up looking either super crazy (they’re the curliest part of my hair) or kinda wonky half waves because I combed them out
yay and omg we use the same serum! thanks for sharing ur routine :))
I usually shower at night and I woke up this morning and there were a ton of waves in my hair but it was SUPER frizzy and dry. My mom has gone through this "thinking her hair was straight" phase except her curls are a lot more defined now, so here I am doing my research. Thanks for all the advice! I'm excited to try it (and see how my hair stands versus Florida humidity!)
it's so nice to see someone with a similar hair type to mine who has a realistic and simple routine. i wish i found out about this sooner bc i just bought three curling products and they're on the pricier side :(( will definitely try this routine :3 thank you!
Girl thank you so much for making + posting this video. I’ve been wondering if my “straight” hair is actually wavy for a good while, and seeing your before photos made me go “!!! that looks like my hair!!! that looks like my hair!!!” I’m now definitely wanting to take a go at your hair routine (which is so wonderfully simple, by the way! I love that you don’t use a million and a half products lol) and I’m *very* curious to see what’ll happen!
This was such an enjoyable video to watch too 😊 you seem so chill and it’s awesome.
Stumbled upon this video today and wow! I heard somebody talking about my kinda hair.
Yes!! I thought it was just me and then I realized our hair type never gets talked about 😭😭
Amazing! It's so funny cuz I did not realize until recently my hair was not just wavy but CURLY~Q !! I blindly ruined my hair blow drying n straightening all my life. Thanks for this 💛💫💚
I was 37 when i realized my hair was not straight and that 20 years of straightening with a flat iron was killing it. So dry and split ends etc. I started deep conditioning weekly and actually a very curly pattern emerged. I only brush when my hair is dripping wet and always diffuse. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self that the friz wasn't normal and most people's hair doesn't curl when it's wet lol
my upper half is straight and my bottom half is wavy and my bottom half always had a little bit of frizz, this video has helped me a lot. thank you so much ❤❤❤
Your hair looks amazing! I will try this out. I suspect if i wet my hair like that it will take 2-3 business days to dry.
Omg thank you so much girl , you make your waves so simple and pretty. Not common thing in wavy hair UA-cam videos ❤
Thank u!! I try to make life easy and honestly got too overwhelmed with other wavy routines lol. Thx for watching!!
The Rhyme & Reason products sound great! 💙Tfs
Love this. Thank you! Could you do a vid on best cut to reduce the poofiness, especially on the sides, on wavy hair?
Always thought that my asian hair was "frizzy" straight type, tried all of this routine and in just a month my hair turned super soft and fabulous 😂❤ (I also only use 1 product after shower it's a gel and when sleeping use a silk bonnet as well) 😊
I didn’t think my hair was a wavy type! Thank you for this video, it informed me a lot. Because the side of my bangs curl even when the rest of the hair are somewhat straight (what I thought) and I hate it. 😭
The world never shows our type of hair 😭😭 my bangs did the same all thru middle school and now still!!
This gonna help me so much my hair been frizzy and poofy I was so lost 😂
lol right hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me😩❤️✨
yay I'm so glad!! ty for watching
You need to try finger coiling (rolling a piece of hair upside with your fingers). It makes your waves more defined. It is complicated in the beginning but then it is actually fun to do! Plop your hair for 5-10 min it also great. I brush my hair before shower and then after shower with leave-in conditioner using wet brush or wide tooth comb. The other days, I gently finger detangling my hair every morning. I want to try using salt spray but have not yet.
I was todays years old to discover i have wavy hair, ive always wondered why my hair was always so frizzy and tangled no matter what i do. But it was bcus i was treating it like straight hair😂
We have the same type of hair!! I honestly didn’t know what to do with it. Thank you!
Glad I could help! I really had no clue too and it still has its own moods lol
I was wondering what my hair type was because it was between straight-wavy this helped so much
0:11-0:33
1:05 she yaps a lot but basically just, ensure your hair is soaked.
2:18 try and take out as much watee as you can from your hair. Leave condition in for rest of shower until you finish then rinse.
4:40 wave styling. Scrunch scrunch
6:47 - final technique/results/yapping
Thank you for being honest about each step of your process! Super refreshing to have practical help with haircare :)
Personally, I have coily hair but I'm gonna support either way cause I rarely see curly hair content creators. So here's a boost🙃
Thanks for the video! What will you do for day-two hair? Will you attempt to brush/comb it or will you do a co-wash? I have very similar wave pattern as you do, and I struggle with styling my hair the next day as it’s too bed-heady to not comb, but combining also makes it pouffy af, so I’m curious what you do! 😊
YOURE THE BEST OH MAH GAH IM FULL OF MOTIVATION
YESSSSS
can you see the comment section?
thank u im gonna try this today. Your before hair is exactly like my hair now.
Yess!! Lmk how it goes
Girl you are a lifesaver thank youuuuu!! ❤❤
Thank you for an air dry option ❤
Thank you for this, I just started college and I’m STILL searching for a good routine to get rid of my frizz. I’ll try this out, hopefully it goes well!
