You're to cute! And thank you!! I've needed this so badly. Disabled with multiple back/ spine issues, along with circulation complications, I can't do the upside down styling. This was a huge help!!
I've been doing the curly girl method for 6 months and had always done the upside down method with the squish. Just tried to right side up with brushing my hair back... AND OMG THE BEST CLUMPS I'VE GOTTEN SO FAR!
ever since i started my hair journey ive been having issues with upside down styling, and it got really demotivating since so many seem to swear by it. this video made me take a few steps back and i started upright styling and brushing everything back like i used to before, and i was so surprised by how good it looked! thank you :')
Thank you! Just setting out to watch this! Ive watched your other ones and in my head im like... Ok.... Ive now got to figure out how to do that standing up in the shower 😂😂 But now youre going to show me and im sure happy about that haha! Thank you!
I switched to upright styling in the last couple of months and it's helped me so much! I no longer have weird parts in my hair (especially in the crown area). Probably the only thing I do differently than you are doing is that I do flip my head upside down to diffuse. As long as I comb my hair straight back while I'm in the shower before adding my products, I will still get that volume. Like you, I flip my hair upside down to root fluff... I'll do it several times in a row, like a hard rocker. LOL
I was actually trying to figure out a new styling technique and this video came at the perfect time! I love upright styling so I’m so happy to see an updated routine this way! This seems fast but super effective. Very cute results!
Your tiny bump is so cute☺. I follow your curl clump 2.0 method so I'm definitely going to try this. I've been trying bending over slightly at the waist so my head is facing the water stream and it hits direct onto the top and sides of my hair without killing my back lol. I noticed the cantu shampoo and conditioner in my local tesco other day I might need to try it next time I'm in after seeing this ☺
I love the Cantu products! Because I watched one of Courtney's videos using all Cantu. Super affordable, available at Walmart and Amazon and it works for my middle of my back colored 2a all the way to 3a crazy hair. I've only been at this 2 months but following Courtney's suggestions I've learned a lot of helpful information. Hope you love the Cantu when you try it. ❤️
I usually do upright styling & brush everything back, too, I just haven't thought about squishing the products in. Thank you, Courtney! The way I dry my hair to get volume & more curl definition, is sort of pixie diffusing & I find it helps with the drying time. I let the long prongs of the diffuser bowl do the work. After placing a section of hair in the diffuser, I give it a little twist & bring it up & instead of placing the prongs of the diffuser directly on my head, I'll just tilt the top of the diffuser towards my head, while having the bottom of it touching my head. I'll even pull the diffuser away from my head, too.
Courtney, you lucky woman. Even though I have coarsish hair, doing the amount of scrunching you do will absolutely kill any waves I get and no styling product will bring them back.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Thank you. I actually do (at the end of my shower I probably spend 5 minutes adding waves to my hair). Still, more than 1-2 scrunches kills any/all of my 2a/2b waves (except the rebellious 2c face-framing clump on the left side that starts behaving like the rest of my hair when it's below my shoulders). I found that I get the best/most beautiful (get the most compliments hair) when I fully rinse out my conditioner and don't use any product. Granted, waves last no more than 2 days but by day 3 post wash my scalp starts wanting to be brushed and I oblige.
You mentioned Styling Snot Gel in another video and I was intrigued by the name. I found it on Amazon and was even more intrigued by the price. I bought it and I freaking LOVE it. I don't know what will happen when the dew point changes, but for now, it is my absolute go to. I get a cast faster and better than any other product. Thank you for sharing that tidbit! I'll try brushing my hair back and some of the other things you've mentioned here. I go back and forth between you and Manes by Mell. I do brush the gel in, but I have found that the methods used by Mell don't work for me. Like I said, I go back and forth, I try (with success and failure), I adopt and adapt. I've learned so much from both of you. Thank you for all that you do!
Im so pleased you tried right side up styling. I tried upside down in the beginning but id get a head rush so decided it wasnt worth it. I find i get less frizz right side up styling but always struggled with the diffusing. Now i know what to try next. Thank you!
I find that the Ouidad method of "scrunch the crunch" (what Ouidad calls "breaking the cast") REALLY helps to keep the frizzy at bay. You essentially pineapple your hair and squeeze around the ponytail from root to end.
I wish I could have seen the full drying technique, because I was very surprised your hair went from being smoothed back to your normal, easy to flip waves. I have to “organize” my clumps w a wet brush in the way I want it to dry on my head when it’s dry…I can’t upside down style, that’s never worked for me and I get some movement like 5%, from up right styling but def not from smoothed back wet to dry waves that can flip across the center part…that was magical how you got that to happen 🙃
As I'm binging videos, I really appreciate that you show how you get your results but also don't shy away from the real life of hair. Babying curls in between wash days is just not practical when going out and about, chasing a child, living life. Thank you for decreasing that anxiety.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney @Swavy Curly Courtney if you had a Teen Girl with you in the video you could wash and Curl her hair backwards in your kitchen sink
The timing of this video was perfect! 😊 I have been on my wavy journey since March of this year and I've got long, dryer (colored) hair and I watched one of your other recent right side up styling since you've been expecting 🥰 and it did help, but the detail of this one has been super helpful!! I've been doing upside down styling in the shower and actually using those stylers haha but the results are best when I just put it in a bun and let it air dry, for forever, and have been thinking of investing in a diffuser before winter! I have had a lot of tiny knots from trying to brush away from my face upside down and applying the products and then waiting for the scrunch out the crunch part hoping it doesn't look like a mess when i did all the styling upside down 😂 I've been needing this upright video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for this. I have been washing/styling/diffusing upside down for the last 20 months and it's really killing my back! I struggle to get my roots looking smooth and voluminous even when doing it upside down, so I'm really happy to test out something different that will also give my back a break!
Glad you made an upright tutorial, I had been using your previous method and getting decent enough results but it was murder on my back. Going to give this a shot tomorrow :)
Glad to see you doing this as I have to do my hair this way due my health. And yes a deep side parting always helps. Congratulations on the baby as well xx
Courtney, I'll be honest and tell you I took a break from your channel a while back because I didn't feel I was getting any new info. I recently re- subbed and this video has been a game changer for me. I thank you! The upside down technique was all I had been doing because who doesn't like more volume on top?! But after watching this, the very next wash day I did the right side up technique you shared and holy moley did my hair love it! Better clumps, better curls! I'm so grateful and will never unsub again! Some times a little change makes a big difference!
Wish I could send you a pic. Did the stand up last night and worked great! Anytime I do anything upside down it gets tangled so standing up did great for me.
I just followed your routine in this video this evening after not wearing my hair natural for a few weeks and I am shook at the results. Not only was it so easy to follow but it took way less time than usual. I had actual curls when my hair was wet but they loosened out when it dried. However I'm not fussed seeing as I've been heat styling for the last few weeks. I'm just happy to see my waves are still OK! This technique worked a treat. 😁
I was so excited for this video once you mentioned upright styling! I cannot style upside down due to back issues and have really been struggling with stringy waves. So excited to try these techniques out!
And I JUST got upside-down styling to work! Lol, I will give it a try next wash day. I think the combing everything forward is what got rid of my crop circle (plus trimming out my copious layers that one blog said caused stringy curls). Maybe it's the combing or brushing straight forward or back that fixes that problem. I will report back. 🥰
Thank you so much Courtney!! I have been struggling sooo much with my hair recently!! 😭😭 It’s been so frustrating but I got a little hope from this video. Thanks again!! ❤️❤️
This really helps me as I'm disabled with a myriad of congenital diseases n deformities inside my body. 5 major surgeries in the past 3-4 years. This is so helpful for me! I love styling upside down too but knowing i can get fabulous hair styling upright is AWESOME! n I'm a micro-ploppin' Queen! T shirts only but I'm hoping to get a microfiber towel when I have more funds to throw at my hair! Till then, I'm learning a lit working with what i got. I hover diffuse then pixie diffuse all on low n cool. I do 20 seconds each section! On n off. As long as I'm careful n don't touch my hair too much while diffusing, it works well for me for now. Always experimenting with different techniques n products though. Loving every minute of it! Oh! N sleeping in my satin bonnet changed my curl game too! I'm resting on my recliner a lot of the day so the bonnet or satin/ silk throw over the back of my recliner really protects my hair n style!
This comes at such an opportune time! I have always been an upside down styler but I too must find a new way to style. I'm still in my first trimester and would like to get an upright styling routine down ASAP. I already have lower back pain which makes being bent over for long periods not really reasonable. I will def try this out!
This video inspired me attempt to style my hair for Thanksgiving tomorrow instead of blowing it out bc I've been getting such inconsistent curls since having my daughter a couple months ago. Thanks for the tips!
I began my wavy hair journey some weeks ago and I'm looking forward to trying all these different techniques :D. I tried styling my hair upside down and while the first time was great, I hadn't volume at the base at all, and my hair is not fine. Today is my wash day, I will definitely try this method, so much easier for a lazy person like me. Also the amount of products you used is not a lot, and for people who don't have all these curly hair products yet is amazing. I have curtain bangs so I will be using the finger method to style those
Your curtain bangs will look so pretty! And agreed! Many times I keep it simple. The wavy/curly journey does not have to be complicated or expensive! Also, I have some other videos on budget friendly products and simple wash days!
Definitely going to try clapping out the cast. Hadn’t heard of that before. Getting rid of the cast without the hair going stringy is a fine art it seems.
Congrats on the baby! The timing of this was perfect. I'm very interested to see how your clumps turn out as I watch! It's been hard for me to get good clumps this winter (dry weather).
I am watching this over and over because you are the Queen of Clumps (lol) and I just am clump challenged. Also want to see a video on the Shark dryer. I have ordered one based on seeing you and Hi Felicia using it.
Thank you! I do have a couple diffusing videos. I will link them below. It is a little different then how I diffused here. ruclips.net/video/Qe-SAYVlJ2E/видео.html -> Original Diffusing Video ruclips.net/video/d-RhvMIT_gw/видео.html -> Updated Diffusing Video
I've a herniated disc in my back and I've been trying to cut out upside down styling as it's just making things worse, this video is really helpful, thank you!
Thank you sweet girl! You're my CGM go to person and I'm 2 months into CGM and have better results being up right instead of bent over so I was soooooo happy to see this video from you. Wishing you the best of everything always. ❤️ PS, I'm 63, have long colored blonde hair, it's a 2a all the way to a 3a crazy, curlier underneath and on the sides and wavier on top and in the back. It's fine and low density, I haven't figured out the porosity thing yet. Your videos have been a huge help. Thank you for all you do. ❤️
Very helpful video, as always. Here's one for you: one handed curly life. Heading into my THIRD Wrist surgery but first since learning how to do all these techniques. Not sure how I'll do any of this... for 3-6 month recovery time. Waaaaaah!
You're the only person who says to apply conditioner with soaking wet hair. I cannot do it. My hair gets zero conditioner when I do. So, I have to squeeze out almost all the water then apply the conditioner and add water to move it around. Maybe once my hair isn't so dry I won't have to do it this way anymore
In the snot gel, one Amazon reviewer was concerned about the safety of ingredient phenoxyethanol, especially for mothers. May want to research further.
Hey Courtney. I can't believe it has been 6 months already! You look so good and I hope you have been feeling good as well. I switched to micro-plopping a while ago as I found it worked much better for me and just recently started trying upright styling due to lifelong back problems. This video was well timed. Both ION and Shark have come out with similar priced Dyson dupe hair dryers so I was wondering what they were like. Still quite pricey but half of the Dyson. You will have to let us know what you think.
I have found that I have to style upright because my hair is so fine and thin. Some of this is similar to what I already do and some is new. Definitely going to try! I really want to try the snot gel. 🤣🤣🤣
So excited for right side up! Brushes can do ok for me, but my biggest frustration with volume is my hair grows from the top of my head straight forward! so upside down styling looks great from the clumping perspective but it always sticks flat to my head in the weirdest way. Gonna try your suggestions next wash day, i expect good things ;p
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Yes, but it seems to instead enhance the curl to go forward because my curls also curl towards the front. I have to toy a lot with the top/front to try to dry it back. 🤷🏻♀️ still figuring it out ;)
I have short hair (a tiktokmullet i guess) and this routine is very similar to mine! I tend to just be upside down for the top layer of my hair! I'm hard of hearing and i have dyspraxia so i really don't enjoy being upside down for that long but i still manage to get good definition!
So learned that I need to cleanse my hair…. Mmmmmmm my curls are very stringy so this step by step process is very helpful…. Without the upside down view :) thank you 🙏
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I watched the starter kit video and ordered the deep conditioner… very very helpful. I’ve been hit and miss trying the curly girl method but haven’t really committed to it. It’s time I start and do it as best as possible and so grateful for all your videos….
Loved this. I have just had surgery on my shoulder so have to work out how to look after my hair one handed for at least the next few months. Be grateful for any hints or tips. X
Awe I hope that goes well and that you will have quick healing.🙏 If needed I have another one-handed video but it is for washing/styling upside down. 🥰
I have good news for you then. I ran this on one side and my Dyson on the other. The Shark side was noticeably less frizzy and more defined. I think it could be the diffuser shape. I think it blows what I call hard air with a bit more force. Dyson’s dryer blows less substantial air faster. Now I don’t know what I’ll do with the cool looking Dyson mounted on my wall.
@@caitlinjoy2828 no problem. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me. I still can’t bring myself to split up with the Dyson, but it’s basically going to be backup now…
Congrats on becoming a mom. When I read this product name creme of nature snot gel/ cream 😄😄😄😄 I was laughing so hard. Your hair looks amazing.... I always use both types of conditioner because my hair lacks hydration... Have you ever used air dry and detangling spray???

Found this video and has just had the best wash day in my entire journey (about 2 months)!!! I am never going back to trying to do upside down.
You're to cute! And thank you!! I've needed this so badly. Disabled with multiple back/ spine issues, along with circulation complications, I can't do the upside down styling. This was a huge help!!
Oh my goodness! I am so glad this helps!
The closed captioning said “squish toucan dish”! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 Oh my!!! That's too good...
In another of her videos, the CC said "squish chicken dish".
I've been doing the curly girl method for 6 months and had always done the upside down method with the squish. Just tried to right side up with brushing my hair back... AND OMG THE BEST CLUMPS I'VE GOTTEN SO FAR!
Awe yay!!! Love it!!!

Also the amount of products you used is not a lot, and for people who don't have all these curly hair products yet is amazing. I have curtain bangs so I will be using the finger method to style those
Your curtain bangs will look so pretty! And agreed! Many times I keep it simple. The wavy/curly journey does not have to be complicated or expensive! Also, I have some other videos on budget friendly products and simple wash days!
Definitely going to try clapping out the cast. Hadn’t heard of that before. Getting rid of the cast without the hair going stringy is a fine art it seems.
It can be!! Let me know how it goes!
I never know what to do with the top of my hair when I upright style. Going to try this method of brushing everything back!
Congrats on the baby!
The timing of this was perfect. I'm very interested to see how your clumps turn out as I watch! It's been hard for me to get good clumps this winter (dry weather).
Thank you! Try adding in more water and more moisture. Also, here is an updated video! ruclips.net/video/VGT0URQd1Rc/видео.html
Courtney you were helpful 😁
Tried your process and was blown away by how well it worked. Thank you so much!
Awe, thank you! I am so glad this helped!!!
I do this to my 7 year old she has super curly hair and it works great!
😍😍😍
I am watching this over and over because you are the Queen of Clumps (lol) and I just am clump challenged. Also want to see a video on the Shark dryer. I have ordered one based on seeing you and Hi Felicia using it.
your hair is so pretty! I'm going to try this and see if it works for my hair...and yeah upright is the way to go!
Thank you so much! 😀🥰 Let me know how it works out!
Love this! I've been practicing it upward and this video was really helpful!
Is it possible you could do a video on your defusing routeing?
Thank you! I do have a couple diffusing videos. I will link them below. It is a little different then how I diffused here.

congrats, how exciting
Thank you so much!
I've a herniated disc in my back and I've been trying to cut out upside down styling as it's just making things worse, this video is really helpful, thank you!
Thank you sweet girl! You're my CGM go to person and I'm 2 months into CGM and have better results being up right instead of bent over so I was soooooo happy to see this video from you. Wishing you the best of everything always. ❤️ PS, I'm 63, have long colored blonde hair, it's a 2a all the way to a 3a crazy, curlier underneath and on the sides and wavier on top and in the back. It's fine and low density, I haven't figured out the porosity thing yet. Your videos have been a huge help. Thank you for all you do. ❤️
Very helpful video, as always. Here's one for you: one handed curly life. Heading into my THIRD Wrist surgery but first since learning how to do all these techniques. Not sure how I'll do any of this... for 3-6 month recovery time. Waaaaaah!
Oh no!! Here is a one-handed wash day! It is while washing upside down. ruclips.net/video/OEXGsFds9WM/видео.html
This is so helpful. I have a heart condition that makes it unsafe for me to be upside down like that. Thanks for this video!
You're the only person who says to apply conditioner with soaking wet hair. I cannot do it. My hair gets zero conditioner when I do. So, I have to squeeze out almost all the water then apply the conditioner and add water to move it around. Maybe once my hair isn't so dry I won't have to do it this way anymore
In the snot gel, one Amazon reviewer was concerned about the safety of ingredient phenoxyethanol, especially for mothers. May want to research further.
Hey Courtney. I can't believe it has been 6 months already! You look so good and I hope you have been feeling good as well. I switched to micro-plopping a while ago as I found it worked much better for me and just recently started trying upright styling due to lifelong back problems. This video was well timed. Both ION and Shark have come out with similar priced Dyson dupe hair dryers so I was wondering what they were like. Still quite pricey but half of the Dyson. You will have to let us know what you think.
I did my first curly girl wash day today on my 2a/2b hair and it turned out ok.
congratulations
Awe, thank you!
I have found that I have to style upright because my hair is so fine and thin. Some of this is similar to what I already do and some is new. Definitely going to try! I really want to try the snot gel. 🤣🤣🤣
Ohh nice! Let me know how it goes with changing a few things. And isn't that quite the name!
Gorgeous Hair!! Congratulations on your pregnancy!! ❤️
Thank you!!
So excited for right side up! Brushes can do ok for me, but my biggest frustration with volume is my hair grows from the top of my head straight forward! so upside down styling looks great from the clumping perspective but it always sticks flat to my head in the weirdest way. Gonna try your suggestions next wash day, i expect good things ;p
When upside down, have you tried pushing the front back with a brush? But yes, let me know if this works for you!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Yes, but it seems to instead enhance the curl to go forward because my curls also curl towards the front. I have to toy a lot with the top/front to try to dry it back. 🤷🏻♀️ still figuring it out ;)
Congratulations 🎈💗
Thank you
God bless you 🌸
Thank you! We are so excited! 🥰
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney may the Lord protect you both and bless you in Jesus name dear 💖
Thank you for making this my back is very appreciative 😅😅
No problem 😊
I have short hair (a tiktokmullet i guess) and this routine is very similar to mine! I tend to just be upside down for the top layer of my hair! I'm hard of hearing and i have dyspraxia so i really don't enjoy being upside down for that long but i still manage to get good definition!
So learned that I need to cleanse my hair…. Mmmmmmm my curls are very stringy so this step by step process is very helpful…. Without the upside down view :) thank you 🙏
Oh good! I'm glad this helps! Thank you! 😁
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I watched the starter kit video and ordered the deep conditioner… very very helpful. I’ve been hit and miss trying the curly girl method but haven’t really committed to it. It’s time I start and do it as best as possible and so grateful for all your videos….
2:25 Actually, I LIKE the bathroom to be cold--it makes the warm water feel that much better.
Loved this. I have just had surgery on my shoulder so have to work out how to look after my hair one handed for at least the next few months. Be grateful for any hints or tips. X
Awe I hope that goes well and that you will have quick healing.🙏 If needed I have another one-handed video but it is for washing/styling upside down. 🥰
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney yes please 😍
my hair is kinky/curly but its just satisfying to watch
Awe thank you!
Omg six months already? Hoping that last trimester goes quickly for you. ❤️
can't wait to hear more about the hair dryer! I just can't get myself to buy a Dyson....
I have good news for you then. I ran this on one side and my Dyson on the other. The Shark side was noticeably less frizzy and more defined. I think it could be the diffuser shape. I think it blows what I call hard air with a bit more force. Dyson’s dryer blows less substantial air faster. Now I don’t know what I’ll do with the cool looking Dyson mounted on my wall.
@@stephanies5591 omg! thank you!!
@@caitlinjoy2828 no problem. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me. I still can’t bring myself to split up with the Dyson, but it’s basically going to be backup now…
Congrats on becoming a mom. When I read this product name creme of nature snot gel/ cream 😄😄😄😄 I was laughing so hard. Your hair looks amazing.... I always use both types of conditioner because my hair lacks hydration... Have you ever used air dry and detangling spray???
Courtney, you were actually helpful 🙂 Thanks for this video and thanks for the demo from under the shower 🙂
Absolutely! Not going to lie filming in the shower is rough without that wet suit! lol
Looks like you got a haircut. It looks very nice!
So sweet! Thank you! 🥰
Yezzz
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much!🥰
Hi can you do a Curly ponytail video please
Were you going to talk about the new hair dryer and defuser?
So far this is what I have discussed: instagram.com/p/CVgJQ4DAaZ3/?
How do you know you have enough product on your hair? What should it feel like?
Can you put gel on the hair without a cream or leave in first? My hair seems to get so weighed down….
