I have 2a-2b thick hair. It's very dry and frizzy but it also gets weighed down very easy. Any products you can recommend? Preferably one that I don't have to crunch
Melanie Watkins The Not Your Mother’s curl cream and gel sound perfect for u! They are lightweight but still help with frizz and the gel doesn’t have any crunch.
This was so helpful. I legit have 2A-3A hair and it can be frustrating because I want it all to be uniform. BUT I'm learning to embrace and nurture it as-is. Your videos help with that! Thank youuuu
I’ve spent so much $$ trying to find different products that would make my 2a/b waves look good and not “swavy” or limp at the ends. Products marketed for actually curly hair tend to weigh my hair down. I started loosely following cg method two weeks ago and my waves look the best they’ve ever been 🤩 Marc Anthony curling creme and The Good Stuff curl definition jelly work wonders for me
I’m 2b n I’m loving Cantu Natural Hair Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream - even refreshing in the morning love love love this n the best part is affordable..
Thank you!! I think I'm starting to understand now. I'm a 2b 2c wave pattern and my hair absorbs water pretty well. I've been having epic fails with each product I've tried. 2 different Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioners were a fail and now the Cantu curl cream is sooooo heavy on my hair. I'm going to try NYM shampoo and conditioner tomorrow with a light Biotera gel. Wish me luck.
any updates? cus i think i have similar hair to you from your description. i started my curly girl journey during quarantine and i started with the shea moisture curl hibiscus shampoo conditioner and i dont think thats doing much for me. but my stylers aren't either which is why im watching all these videos trynda decide on some new gel and mousse products!! im currently using bouncecurl gel and olaplex leave in but it wasn't doing much for me. i also tried brieogio curl cream and not that great. so yeah
Thanks so much for all the great info....I just LOVE Mel....she’s sooooo funny, especially with her seester😆😆😆 I’m travelling to Cuba next week...got my Cantu hair cream, As I Am & Deva Curl already to go...wish me luck🤪
How do you personally apply mousse? Because when I do, not all of my waves hold and some of them look stringy. Also, does anyone have the issue of their hair falling flat when just air drying with no products?
I apply it to wet hair, regardless of what products I use whenever I damp style my hair comes out stringy. And the weight of the products and the water can cause your hair to flatten and the top and lose definition on longer strands, half Diffusing and root clipping will help
As soon as the mousse came on the screen.... "she's got herbal in the shower! Foooor another half an hour! She's got the herbs! _natural botanicals_ " I probably just dated myself but anyone else that was a youngin in the late 90s/early 00s definitely knows what I'm talking about 😬
Have you ever tried either Paul Mitchell / GVP sculpting lotion or joico / GVP sculpting lotion ? (Joico is protein pm is none both have water soluble silicones) it’s the consistency of water, and I use it in a squirt bottle (like ketchup not spraying) and soak my hair in it after my leave in and before I lightly coat my hair in a little bit of gel...more gel for a harder cast less for less - but the lotion is super light weight but very enhancing and lasts for days also reactivates with steam (or water but I steam my hair) if love to see you try it! It’s amazing.
This was very helpful indeed! Thank you. I'm mostly 2b and love the "As I Am" leave-in and Jessicurl Spiralicious styling gel. I've never used hair spray (other than at the salon when getting an updo for special events) but am curious to try and see if it makes my curl last longer. Can someone suggest one that has flexible hold and [ideally] helps to tame frizz? I'm going to the beach in 2 weeks! Thanks!
I’m not sure if I could dedicate a whole video to this since my only real solution is to add more water! I always find that my hair gets stringy when I apply product to hair that isn’t wet enough and if I rake in products it get stringy too because I’m separating my hair. Give the smoothing application a try!
Absolutely love your videos . Please can you review aunt Jackies curls and coils products. I would also like to know does the curl pattern improve ???? I have no idea what type of hair I have because I have so many different curl patterns so its a combination of everything which makes it so difficult to embrace my natural hair. Its been 2 months since I started the cg method.
You won’t know your true curl pattern until your hair is 100% healthy/virgin hair, it’s totally normal to have multiple textures and you’re only 2 months in! It takes time to see improvement
@@SuhannaDeSilva firstly thank you for replying. I appreciate the response. Secondly any idea how long it takes to get back your virgin hair? Lastly should i use that brand of products?
I have a terrible time with moose so I'm going to go try this one. I don't like my hair feeling completely gunked up, cannot stand it, but my crown is too flat!
I'm just about a month into my curly hair journey and my hair seems to get weighed down and it won't hold the curl/wave that it is when it is wet. I was wondering if anyone could recommend good drugstore lightweight styling products that I should try. I currently am using shea moisture jbco leave in (which feels pretty heavy) and cantu moisturizing activator cream and I.a. looks gel (the blue one). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Right now it seems as though my hair is currently at a 2a/2b being that i just started.
Jason & Sierra Dodson i use a gel from Curls, the control curl sculpting gel or the curl control jelly. Midway the drying process you can reaply gel. Sometimes that helps my curls hold on longer. I think in America you can find this in the drugstore, i don’t really know, i’m from Belgium.
I have 2b and 2 C hair . I use keune gel maybe I should change to using moose as I have frizzy hair. Curl creams are not found in my country atleast I have not found them. I found it online but it is expensive. 😭. Will moose work? Also should I get my hair cut. Will it reduce split ends?
Hello again. This is really helpful. Can you please make a video for coloured curly hair. And I also have doubts on using non cg products along with cg products at the same time. Can you please make a video on that too. Love your makeup by the way. Would love to see your lipstick collection too ☺️
I can make a video on colour treated curly hair but I need to know what exactly you’d want to see/learn more about so I can research it. Most of my videos are based off of my own experiences and as someone who never wore their natural hair when it was colour treated I don’t have any specific or helpful tips to provide tbh
@@SuhannaDeSilva yeah. Previously I asked you about y my gel is drying the hair. I have to colour my hair to hide the grays. So maybe it also drying my hair. All I want to know is how to take care of it while colouring and following cg. And also what are the basic steps to follow when using cg & non-cg products at the same time. Hope i explained clearly.
Suhanna De Silva thanks. My hair has changed over the last few years and trying to figure out how to deal with it. Love your videos!!! They are so informative and helpful. Thanks!!
Guys,,.....it saddens me that ppl actually like usijg devacurl but trust me ,it's doing damage to ur hair ,its just that some of em using it don't realize the consequence because for thd moment it might look good.AVOID DEVACURL
this was very helpful, i'm just realizing i have wavy/curly hair similar to yours that i've just brushed out my whole life, and yes, i'm overwhelmed
Carol E omg me too 😭😭
Sameeee 😭 send help
Same!
Carol E me too! I’ve been on the CGM for about 3-4 weeks now and my hair is getting so much better I’m 2b-2c and I get an occasional 3a curl or two :)
Same and I've used straight hair products for my whole life and I'm scared my curls are gonna leave
Thanks sooo much I never know what to use because I have super thick 2B hair and I couldn’t find many wavies talking about this
I'm just gonna say love ur profile pic my childhood
I have a lot of fine hair on the more wavy side
Dude that's the exact hair type I have, thick 2b hair
I have 2a-2b thick hair. It's very dry and frizzy but it also gets weighed down very easy. Any products you can recommend? Preferably one that I don't have to crunch

I have really thick type 2a hair and it gets rlly frizzy and I never knew what I should put in my hair so tysmmm for this video 💞
I have type 2 and I feel like nothing works, and always dry. But thanks soooo much for the information love it!!!
This was so helpful. I legit have 2A-3A hair and it can be frustrating because I want it all to be uniform. BUT I'm learning to embrace and nurture it as-is. Your videos help with that! Thank youuuu

I’m 2b n I’m loving Cantu Natural Hair Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream - even refreshing in the morning love love love this n the best part is affordable..
2b wavy here- I would love a video on how you stretch your waves over the week!
I’m still looking for the best method and product to stretch my waves out but when I figure it out I’ll definitely share!
Thank you!! I think I'm starting to understand now. I'm a 2b 2c wave pattern and my hair absorbs water pretty well.

They don’t carry NYM in Canada but I’ve heard nothing about great things about the curl talk line, hope it works out!

Have fun girl! I love Cuba my hair lives for the humidity and sea air
Honestly I'm glad I clicked on this video. I figured out my correct hair type and what to use for it.
I never tried out hairspray as a styler, im so glad i found your video
Very informative video thanks for explaining all the wavy products I didn't really know the difference between them.
today i used my normal shampoo and then i put argon oil in afterwards. so far, it’s making a huge difference. i have type 2 hair btw.
Should I use mousse or gel? I hav thick wavy Indian hair. I hav waves and lots of frizz
How do you personally apply mousse? Because when I do, not all of my waves hold and some of them look stringy. Also, does anyone have the issue of their hair falling flat when just air drying with no products?

Omg thank you for this video!! I am on day one of CGM & I don’t know what I did wrong & have so many products but don’t know their purpose

Cool video. I know nothing about hair products lol 😥
I use a leave in gel because it gives me the best hold and definition
Which one do you use?

i have type 2a hair and i’ve always straightening it and never used any curl/wave stuff and i’ve decided to try what do you suggest me to buy?
Try an alcohol free curl enhancing mousse!

Do you recommend Cantu because I’ve heard it’s bad because it has alcohol I still use it because it makes my hair look better I have 2b/2c hair

Good Education! Like
If anybody would like to recommend a stronghold gel for my 2a/2b medium density high porosity short hair go ahead and recommend lol 😂
I have the same hair and I use amika curl corps plus it has protein in it which can be helpful for high porosity hair
Helpful video
Can I use just hairspray?
i wouldn’t really recommend it
Which garnier gel did you use? Have you tried garnier fructis curl cream? Thanks
I’ve used the curl smoothie from garnier and it’s alright, a little heavy for my hair and I used the garnier curl jelly
Suhanna De Silva thanks. My hair has changed over the last few years and trying to figure out how to deal with it. Love your videos!!! They are so informative and helpful. Thanks!!
hey how often should you wash thick 2c hair?
can you do a review on aussie products? :)
The video is great but what is on your lips 😍😍😍
the video is good and helpful but the deva curl needs to go !
This video is about a year old and my latest video is on DC
@@SuhannaDeSilva oh okay sorry
I use a leave in spray and then do to low braids and then wait for 3/4 days Until I wash it😂
Guys,,.....it saddens me that ppl actually like usijg devacurl but trust me ,it's doing damage to ur hair ,its just that some of em using it don't realize the consequence because for thd moment it might look good.AVOID DEVACURL
You're beautiful
Please do not talk only with girls because there are boys watching also 🙃🙃
Your hair looks a bit greasy is that on purpose
It’s in a gel cast but yes I purposely make my hair look greasy all the time
Suhanna De Silva it doesn’t look greasy it looks moisturized 👌🏼
😒She mentioned her hair is still drying
So helpful! Thank you so much.
