This is one of the only videos that I've seen that actually provides helpful ideas for 2b/c hair that I haven't tried/seen elsewhere. this should have waaaay more views! thank you!!
It’s like you read my mind! The front of my wavy hair is very thin but the back is thick and coarse, resulting in so many hair textures that get weighed down at varying points of the drying process so I find that a heavy cast is the best way to keep it all looking at least similar. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you! Apologies for the late response. I took a bit of a social media break haha And yes, I feel you! My hair is fine, but I have straight-ish, wavy, and loosely curly pieces all over my head haha a hard cast makes it all look more uniform so that's why I prefer it :)
Really appreciate this. I have fairly thick hair, but it’s not course. I use a good moisturizing shampoo, and I’ve discovered that if I use a conditioner with that, it’s too much, and difficult to get a decent curl/wave. However, every so often I use KinkyCurly shampoo and conditioner because the shampoo is meant to remove buildup, and then I need some conditioner. I don’t use much, just enough to get the tangles out. And, I’ve started always using a foam for wavy/curly hair, along with a gel. I like the KinkyCurly Curling Custard (again, with a foam). But I also like Bed Head Curls Rock Amplifier. And, I really like the Aussie products. Very inexpensive compared to the others I’ve mentioned, and they work quite well. I use their curling foam, which is under $10!
So refreshing to see your personal tips rather than the same ones that are being rehashed all around the internet. Thank you for sharing! I'm about to buy my first gel ever (yaaay I'm excited, lol) We have very similar texture and hair needs, so I wonder, have you ever tried Jessicurl Spiralicious Styling Gel? If so, what did you think of it? Strong hold? I believe I need that cast too. (But a pain to find one without / with very little perfume and glycerin.) Love your vibe and authenticity. I just found your channel and think I might need to binge watch your content now, lol. So glad to find great wavie info/inspo.
It seems to be SO difficult to find a Wavy/Curly UA-camr with, specifically, fine hair. I'm so glad I found you! My hair is very much like yours but bob length. You say your hair "likes protein". I'm not sure how much I'm giving my hair. Is it just your hair or most fine, wavy/curly types that crave it? And how would I know if mine needs it (or more of it)? Ty.
Your curls are so close to mind, it’s crazy! I’ve really been into the Ecoslay Orange Marmalade styler as a curl activator. It helps to form a cast especially before a gel. If you haven’t tried it, you need to!
I relate so much to getting an easy gel cast, I actually prefer using more water after i put some gel on bc of how crunchy my hair gets 😭🤚. Great vid tiff
Thank you 💜🙏 yea the hairspray is a game changer. Better hold while being weightless. It could potentially leave your ends feeling crunchy if you spray too close though. But I saw someone today spraying the hairspray into their palm, diluting it with water, and then smoothing it over their damp hair. I might try that. I'm usually lazy tho and just spray it on haha 😂
When I was younger I used to get such a strong cast but now I barely get one. Going to slow down and try changing my products. Any recommendations for products that help wash out build-up?
Great informative video Tiffany! I just bought uncle Funky’s daughter curly magic stimulator and my hair is air drying with it as I’m seeing your video lol I saw you put a pic of it on this vid. Cant wait to see my results on my 2b/3a medium porosity hairs:) And your smile is beautiful God bless you💕
@@tiffanymcnerlin157 Definitely! I was really happy with the results. no other styler was needed. Yay! now to see the second day, if it holds awesome if not I'll cocktail with mousse lol Happy 4th of July :)
Hi ☺️ no, I don't. I only use oils as a pre-poo before I wash. They're too heavy for my hair, and the other ingredients in my products do just fine in preventing water loss until my next wash day (every 3-4 days)
Yes, that's correct. Very little amounts when it comes to the creams though, and you just need to use 1 gel. I love mixing my gels so that's why I used 2 lol Your comment made me realize I didn't include products in the description so thank you for that. I added links too if you want to check out a specific product :)
I tried first time hair gel and its sooo weird. Idk did i do it right it doesnt look dry even tho it is dry. what did i do wrong bruh its not soft and i didnt get a cast
You probably either didn't use enough, didn't apply it evenly, with a wide tooth comb or denman brush, or, you used too much. Too little, or too much can make hair limp. Also, some gels don't form a cast. Some are made to be soft without one. Weird, and I don't like them, because they never hold the style. But try the aussie instant freeze gel. It creates a good cast but is very lightweight so you can use a good amount. Make sure it's totally dry. If any hair feels a little cold, then it's not dry yet. You can scrunch out the crunch with a few drops of oil or with a satin or silk scarf, or bonnet. It works faster and is gentler on your hair. Good luck!
Hopefully these tips are helpful! I have timestamps included if you want to jump around 💜🙏🎉

100% hairspray right before diffusing makes a huge difference. I use the Giovanni hairspray in a continuous spray bottle!
I will be trying a few of your tips this morning!
Just discovered you! Thanks so much! I have curly hair only in the back now and am trying to retrain rest of my hair to curl again.

Thank you for the support! 🙏 and that's awesome! UFD really grew on me. It's now one of my favs. How did the outcome look? 💜

@@TheColorwheelGallery yesss that's great! Happy 4th to you too! ☺️🎉
We are hair twins! I have fine waves and refreshing is a no no for me.
When you mentioned “film forming humectants”, what product were you applying to your hair?
Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer ♡
@@tiffanymcnerlin157 Thank you! ❤️
You don’t use any oil to lock the moisture in your hair? Thanks ☺️
Hi ☺️ no, I don't. I only use oils as a pre-poo before I wash. They're too heavy for my hair, and the other ingredients in my products do just fine in preventing water loss until my next wash day (every 3-4 days)
How many products did you end up using for styling? 2 creams, 2 gels and hairspray?
Yes, that's correct. Very little amounts when it comes to the creams though, and you just need to use 1 gel. I love mixing my gels so that's why I used 2 lol

What did u use to lock in the gel?
To lock in the gel? Do you mean an oil?
@@tiffanymcnerlin157 no, you used something to lock in the gel but I couldn’t quite tell what it was, before the second layer of gel.
