Fell in love with your personality the first time I watched you. 😘
Thank you so so much ❤️
I have just found this channel, and I agree. 💛
"This is not my best hair day" GURL YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING
Roseangelie Figueroa I was coming to type the same thing !😂
You guys are too nice... I just think it looked a lil crunchy
Curly Susie I like it when it has a bit of a cast/crunch
The story about your husband noticing your curls and encouraging them, complimenting them....AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEE
He’s a beauty ❤️
I’m obsessed with you (in a noncreepy way lol). Your channel has been such a oasis for me because I feel like I really identify and relate to you. I’m expecting my long awaited second baby (my first is 6 years old!) and I also work in a hospital as a chemist & am now starting curly girl bc I want something simpler and also to demonstrate to my daughter and baby 2 what it’s like to accept yourself and treat yourself (and hair) kindly and with intention. Thank you so much for these videos
You are a breath of fresh air and your beautiful essence is so evident in each of your videos. It's like we're hanging out and you're just sharing what you know because you care...what a blessing you are! Thank you from a fellow Canadian ( formerly from Montreal now in London)
wow, you are 100% honest and really being yourself, sharing your past, stuggles, etc= that is courage to me! theres lots of channels i love on here, but i have to say this is my favorite bc you are 100% yourself and im sure you know in this world, realness can be few and far between. AWESOME video and thank you! So glad i found your channel! and happy belated birthday and congrats on the pregnancy!
You are my favorite curly-inspiration. Love your attitude & focus. Thank you for all the videos.
I love how your hubby recognized your terrific curls and encouraged you to try it! ❤️
Great video Susie! So happy your doing well with your channel! Love watching!
I stumbled upon your channel today & I’m loving it!! Ty for posting!!
Hey!! Thanks for watching 💕
You are so honest, Susie!! Your answer to “Is curly hair part of your identity?” resonated with me completely.. Your hair goes well with your carefree outgoing personality 😊😊
You are so fantastic. So real. So encouraging. Obviously it’s a real “first world problem” to be stressed or consumed with the difficulty of transitioning to ones natural hair texture. But it’s something experienced by so many. And your way of viewing that (and it seems, the world in general) is just beautiful. Thank you for making these videos.
Love CP too!!! Not the normal curly vids and always informational and hilarious.
Like all your other videos, I really enjoyed this one!!!! Looking forward to those you have in the works! 😃
Hi Susie! Love your videos and so appreciate the thought and time you put into them. Thanks for all your goodness, sincerity, and happy encouragement. You simply rock, girl! Cape Breton is an amazing place, too. Several years ago, my husband and I, along with friends, hauled our little fiberglass trailers form the mountains of North Georgia up to your beautiful island and camped for 2 weeks. Total bliss. We drove the Cabot trail several times and even made it up to Meat Cove. I fell in love with the scenery and the cultural history. Y'all celebrate both so well! Just starting my cg journey, after decades of denial, so all your advice has been well used. We have similar hair and attitudes and while I enjoy watching what others post, you are my go to gal for tips. Looking forward to your future offerings and wishing you and your family all the best~
Thank you so much for the nice words Gae! & I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to Cape Breton.
I adore your videos! I just stumbled across them because I’ve been researching CGM and I absolutely love your open and honest approach to the whole thing. I just recently cut all my hair off, pixie length, mostly motivated by the fact that my hair was driving me crazy. Of course after I cut it I learned of the curly girl method and it clicked that my hair was driving me crazy because I didn’t know how to care for it. As I grow it out I’m focusing on making sure it’s healthy to encourage my natural waves.
I’m a nurse as well! It is such a rewarding career! What sort of nursing do you do? I’m a labor & delivery nurse but I just started my masters degree to become a nurse practitioner.
I live in NY but I’m about 20 minutes from the boarder to Quebec!
Keep up the wonderful work! I cannot thank you enough for all your advice!
Hey Ashley, thank-you for your comment. Your hair will be so gorgeous & healthy. I can’t wait until all of my colour damaged hair is gone. My husband & I are both RNs in Perioperative services. He is an OR nurse & I work on a post surgical units, mainly orthopaedics. I’d love to do my NP some day. I actually worked in medical device reprocessing for almost 10 years & just went back to university & did my BScN at 30years old 😬 I love it 💕
I’m a new subscriber and I never watch videos that are this long, but this was great! I’ve been following the CGM for a long time, and I still learned new things from this video. I also enjoyed getting to know you!
You are such a positive uplifting person and fun to watch 💕❤️💖. Keep up the awesome videos. Thank you for being you 💕
We enjoyed watching it! don't feel bad for it being so long - I loved every minute of it!
I want to thank you on behalf of all your patients for your caring approach to nursing. My husband has had many health problems/surgeries, etc., over the last dozen year--with yet another surgery next week. After spending so much time being hospitalized, we quickly came to realize that good nurses make the difference between having day when he felt cared for and helped in the healing process, versus a day where he had to protect his own best interests because a nurse was having a bad day or had an "attitude" which brought tension every time the nurse entered his room. Luckily the vast majority of nurses are wonderful. Even years later we still remember several of his nurses because they were so exceptional and kind when we were at our lowest. We are so grateful for good nurses!
Thank you so much for sharing that Ann. Being a nurse is such a huge part of my life & I feel honoured to care for people. 💕
this is the best video! Answering the question about having curly hair is how i feel. I think if i don't straighten my hair I won't be accepted. I can almost pin point the day when I noticed I was treated differently. Thank you curly Susie!
You should give away the Bioterra gel since it's like your thing. I can't wait to try it. Currently I'm STOCKED on gel so I can't justify the purpose yet :-)
I'm totally with you on the carefree state of mind! I took me awhile to get here, but I totally no longer care what others think of me 😃
Its a good place to be M Maddox :)
This was a great video! I'm going to be starting the CG method and I've been loving watching all your videos. I'm from California but have been living in Victoria on Vancouver Island the past 3 years, but I've always wanted to visit the east coast of Canada and Cape Breton looks beautiful!
Hey Megan!! Thanks for watching. California & Vancouver Island are both places I’d love to see.
Great video curly Susie :) very honest and congratulations for your second baby :) I really never thought I will sit and watch the entire 40 mins, but the way you spoke and expressed your thoughts was so natural felt I was sitting right across you and listening :D Stay blessed!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I loved you answer about identifying and learning to embrace your curls. Good for you Susie. You’re gorgeous inside and out!
I'm so happyyyy I just discovered you!!!!
Susie, thank you so much for all of your insider CGM tips and tricks. You are an inspiration. Also, I appreciate your honesty so much. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.
Thanks for watching Jan!! 😊
Hi Susie, I'm a Mexican living in Montreal, and I love your channel. I started following you about two days ago and I can't stop watching. Love all the Canadian references too :).
Thank you so much Alejandra! I love Montreal 💕💕💕
Your advice to yourself was so helpful & true to where I am right now..looked for hair advice and found wisdom..thank you!
I love you! Our hair types are very similar. I’m just now giving in to the curly girl method. I haven’t used sulfates in years or colored/flat-ironed my hair in SO long, but I always twist it up into a momma bun.
Great video. So enjoyable. Wishing you all the best as your channel grows.
My husband also encouraged me to go back to my curls. I’m so glad I found your channel because my curls are now beautiful thanks to your gel cast instruction video. It was clear and concise and I received compliments the first time I tried it! Your curls are sooo beautiful!
Thank you so so much for commenting. It’s nice to hear.
You are so sweet and inspiring! Just recently discovered the CGM and your amazing videos! Thank you for your honesty and great tutorials! Im getting ready for work on hair day 2:::yikes! I’m from Toronto and you’ve made me wanna visit Cape Breton Island one day! Have a fabulous day Susie!
Love this video ! And your honesty !
Love love love watching your videos! I feel that we have similar curl patterns, and I'm just starting out on my curly girl journey. wish me luck! xo
Your curly hair is absolutely beautiful and it suits you don't ever let anyone's opinions get in the way of you embracing your natural beauty or tell you different. Like my great aunt would say " you're either going to like/accept me as I am or you can go on somewhere."
Hello from New Jersey! I have been to Cape Breton! I vacationed there with my parents when I was nine. You are lucky to live there, it is beautiful. I enjoy your videos. Thank you
Hi Theresa!! Thank you so much. I’ve never been to New Jersey... I should put that on my list of places to see.
I love your videos! And hello from edmonton Alberta 😁
I started the CG method a month ago and I'm loving it so far.
Sorry bit late to the game. Thank you, you are amazing. As a Mother of 3 I like that you have a realistic view and realistic tips. I find some of the stricter regime a little overwhelming! You really made me think I could do this!
I love the story about your husband and completely agree with your recommendation about Curly Penny. She’s awesome. Also, I think your competition background is so interesting. I’ve started powerlifting and I’m such a beginner but I love it. I think you might be convincing me to start a channel 🙊
Loved this video, I’m new to your channel and loving everything curly suzie
Thanks a million Lisi!!
Fab video and thank you for sharing ... I laughed about the 4 seasons in a week - we have 4 seasons in one hour here in Scotland!
I would LOVE to visit Scotland :)
Nova Scotia is New Scotland!
Hey Susie! Loved the video. You are beautiful inside out. I love your videos because you are so realistic. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. Truly inspiring!
Thank you so much Anusha!!
I completely agree about not having to be an adult too soon. As a kid I didn't really get to be a kid and I was constantly told that I needed to grow up. I felt like that held me back from experiencing a lot of things in life because I was that good two shoes kid who did what she was told to do but I never did what I wanted to do. I moved away from my parents at 16 and I am currently in that stage where all my friends are doing well but I am struggling to make this adult life work out. Your video is ... destressing?, its good to know that experiences like this are shared. I am going to continue working hard out here :)
You are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
I am addicted to your videos. I am trying to go curly instead of straightening everyday.
I'm new to the curly girl method (just started yesterday) and your videos have been very informative. A lot of videos make the process very involved and complicated. You have BEAUTIFUL hair and thanks for all of the info. I'm excited to see how this method changes my hair.
Thank you so much Rachel & good luck :)
I have zero clue what I'm doing with cgm, but you're the only person I've watched 😍
Hi Rebecca,
Thought I'd share this link to help you out 😀 ua-cam.com/video/khhjlz63qq4/v-deo.html
Your hair looks beautiful in this video!
Thanks for sharing 🙏☺️😍 you are so sweet and transparent person.
Thanks again for watching Maria! I really enjoyed making this video.
He doesn't have curly hair, but we won't hold that against him. Haha, you are hilarious. Love your channel.
You are so lovely and I love watching your videos! I am a Canadian living abroad (Spain) and I would love to start my curly girl journey but my hair is too damaged from bleach and straightening.. the transition process would be awful! Anyway, keep up the good work Susie xx
If you want to colour, I would recommend using henna. It's CGM-safe, it actually benefits the hair and it even works as a deep cleanse and gets rid of any build-up.
I’ve never tried it... I am next week & I’ll do a video.
Thank you for the great video Susie, it's great to see how far you've come in both your personal and curly hair journey! I have one question about how you style your hair for work since you are nurse. I work in the medical field too and for practical reasons like to keep my hair up (it's similar to your length). Do you have suggestions for more protective stylings that won't make my hair flat? (my curls are 2b-2c with the curls and I am a few months into going natural) Thank you and please keep those videos coming - you have a great sense of humor :)
It was a great video and you are a hair goal/inspiration for me. I have been following the cg method without the scrunch and microfibre towel for about 4 years. I’ve been scrunching and using micro fibre travel towel for about 10 weeks. There is definitely a change but don’t have the desired curly-ness yet. Maybe I just don’t have curly enough hair!
Anyway, while you are inspired by others, I am inspired by you. Thank you for the videos! 🙏🏽😋
Hi Christina! thank you for your sweet comment.
Love your attitude 💞 I’m in my 50s and have only now decided to stop worrying what others may 🤔 think. I just had a look at your husband’s vid for B.B. lol 😂
Love your curly attitude 😊
Simply a great video x
I have learned so much from watching you! You are so sweet and it is nice to have a calm, confident voice in the CG community. I couldn't agree more with you about Curly Penny! I wish all young girls would listen to her #Deep series, she is wise, smart and beautiful inside an out.
I love your hairstyle! You like like Ancient Greek Nobility! I also have 2c/3a but I had cut it super short. I am now growing it out and I am hopeful that it will be curly and gorgeous as yours.
You’re hair looks beautiful. I just cut my hair shorter and miss it already. How about a giveaway of Bounce Curl products as a set of their shampoo (they have 3 different shampoos), conditioner and the cream gel. I’ve heard great things about their shampoo and conditioner, but mixed reviews about the gel. Or have you tried Innate Life? Thanks
You are so sweet! Thank you for sharing!
I love the thumbnail photo. You’re so beautiful inside and out. I love your videos. Could you maybe do a video on how to get started on a healthy eating journey? I work nights at a hospital and I get so snacky. I would love to know if you have any tips at all to help.
You love Montréal. I am from Montréal! (although I live in California at the moment)
I found and subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago and started the Curly Girl Method right about then. I love how well you dive in all the various and numerous aspects of the process, no matter the focus. I did not think I was a wavy hair person, always had straight hair all my life and even used perms for just over a decade. Turns out I am about a 2B! I would have 2 questions for you.
1- How long was the transition for you? How does one know it is done transitioning?
2- When my hair is wet, it looks it can curl more than once dried (like a 2C/3A), is it normal? Is it something I am doing? Can I obtain that a more curled state or is it perfectly normal to curl more when wet and it goes down a notch once dried?
Thank you!
This was fun!
I’m sure you’ve mentioned this somewhere else before but I just started watching your channel and love it! What kind of gel do you recommend? My hair looks so much like yours and I’m trying to get it back to good health haha. Thanks!
I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for making it.
Thanks for watching!! It was a long one lol
I love your hair like that! That’s not a bad hair day, lol
Someday I’ll show you guys what a REAl bad hair day looks like!! Haha
When you said you were only going to answer 10 hair questions, I thought, “Oh, she’s not going to get to mine!” Thank you for answering! I’ve seen a few videos from Curly Penny, but hadn’t watched her #deep videos. What a doll she is! Also, I’m a nurse too, hence my UA-cam name, and I’ve always considered starting a UA-cam channel to help people with questions about Walt Disney World. If you’re ever planning a vacation down here, you let me know! Great video, Susie. Keep up the great content! ☺️
Amberger Helper fix.
Your hair looks sooo curly in this video!
The bottom of my hair is way curlier than the top!!
Great video, thank you 🙏 ❤️
I showed my hairdresser the video you made showing how you get your hair cut and she did the same thing for me. I haven’t had layers cut in my hair in years, but I’m happy now with a couple face framing ones your video showed.
J Miller can u send me the link of that video? I can't see any
zahn dein if you go to her main page it the one titled “my best haircut-curly girl”
J Miller thanks in advance
Curly susie I love your videos they are my first place to go when I have CGM questions or need help!
I have a huge problem with frizz and I wondered if you could do a video on using lube in your hair to combat frizz? A tutorial would save me right now. ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed this video so much ❤
Thank you LlanesMaga27!! I enjoyed making it.
LOVED this video. So inspiring and wonderful to listen to. What kind of RN are you? From a fellow nurse!
I cheat with hot rollers which do not damage your hair that much and works great with straight pieces:)
How about Hot Head by Thermal Hair Care?? That would be a great give-away!
Hmmmmm never tried that. Gonna check it out Thanks!
I have one question though ;p after you come from the pool do you just co wash or do you use low poo shampoo? I am asking because I just started using your method and pretty much the same products, not seeing great results, yet being patient, but because its almost summer in Dallas we are going to the pool a lot and I am not sure if the chlorine or pool residue on the hair will go if I just did cowash with suvave coconut conditioner.. also I use a little bit of oil to my hair just before I get into the pool..please advice.. thanks
Great question!
Major Jennifer Aniston vibes here!!
I'm over 50 and yeah I'm not ready for grey hair either! xo
Thank you for sharing.
You are lovely!!!
Go-wan 💕💕💕
Hi girl, I've seen a couple of your videos on the squish to condish method and I've tried it for the first time last night. Now I'm definitely not a curly girl, more like a never knew I had waves type, my hair is very light and after rinsing out say 80% of the conditioner (no other products) it felt quite heavy. Now in the morning it was a glorious surprise and it feels quite light again today. I was just wondering are those other post-conditioning products necessary? What do they add? Does your hair also feel heavier when it's wet and drying? Thank you for sharing your videos :)
Your hair may feel heavier simply because it’s moisturized... or you may have to rinse more, but it’ll be trial & error. I find wavy girls need to shampoo at least once a week. Also, I only really use gel to help with definition & frizz. It wouldn’t hurt to try.
You're my curly twin
Twinning!!! 💕💕
Hi there! I've just discovered your channel, so apologies if this question has been asked before, but I was wondering what you wear on your head in the winter time? My 4 year old daughter has curly hair, and her hair was a disaster last winter. She was wearing a fleece lined tuque which kept her ears and head super warm, but it did a number on her hair. We're in eastern Ontario [but originally from the Maritimes ;)], and it gets super cold here. I've seen the warm slaps from Grace Elayae, but the company is based out of California, so I'm not that confident that it would be warm enough for our winters here. Thanks!
I have 2b hair, at least that’s what it seems like lol. I wonder how much curlier it’ll look if I keep to the CG method.... I’m know I’m going to try a new gel soon, the kind I just tried to start using this past week I saw had alcohol and I wonder if that’s why my hair feels so gunky at the end of a day. I only got as far as 2 day hair because it just feels so thick, not smooth, and tangly. It gets so tangly in the shower 😕
Hi Susie... do you ever scrunch out the crunch with an oil? Curious the difference using an oil versus just your hands or tshirt. Thanks in advance :)
Curly Susie, I love your videos! Thanks for having easy and affordable advice. I just started on the curly girl method about a month ago. I have very "wiry" or coarse hair. The shaft of the hair looks flat (as in not round) and twisted. The hair itself curls but frizzes up out of the rest of my hair as soon as it starts to dry, even with gel on it. I think it is high porosity because when I used to get streaks bleached and dyed a few years ago it would take hours for it to soak in. Could you tell me if I need to moisturize or use protein to calm the wiry hair and keep it from sticking out? The SheaMoisture products I'm using make my hair feel grimy by the end of the day.
I meant low porosity.
how does your hair look without any stylers? can you make a video on that? doing cowash,plopping etc i
Hi there, one question: how do you deal with not being able to brush your hair anytime you want to? I'm thinking of going curly - I have a natural curl - but not being able to use a brush every morning and evening bothers me. Thank you!
What beach is that? It looks familiar. I'll never forget my vacation there. The people there are incredibly nice, I also had a roommate from Cape Breton. We also visited Prince Edward Island which was amazing except for the horseflies!!
LOL - my husband and I are huge fans of Big Brother. Just watched your husband's video - great job. Let us all know if they cast him sometime.
What cleansing conditioner do you use and what scrunch-in product?
Can someone answer since I haven’t heard from Laura? Do you diffuse with cold setting or hot?
How do you wear your hair when you exercise in order to maintain the curls? Do you usually wash your hair after every time you exercise? xx
Hi Martha... it depends on what type of exercise ... but to be honest I normally exercise very early in the day (Pre-Shower) & if I exercised in the evening I’d probably just leave my hair in a ponytail. Many people will wet or refresh their hair though.
Have you ever tried olaplex? If so what did you think if not would you ever try it?
What gel can you use on Low porosity thick curly hair?. I live in the uk and we can have four seasons in one day 😀
Funny you thought your husband was younger because you could easily be 22 years old. It's the curls.
Which brand do you recomend to cover the greys?
I would love to see a pic of you as a blond!
