You explain things so well in your videos. Thanks so much for being so thorough, it's helped me tremendously. I'm feeling so much better about my hair lately after trying out a bunch of your tips and tricks the last few months! Your kiddos are absolutely adorable!
Oh! I'm so glad!! That's wonderful to hear. So glad you're liking your hair better. Isn't it amazing how much better we feel when our hair is to our liking?And thanks--my girls are my world!
This video seriously changed my life! I’m a teacher that hates getting up at 5am to do my hair and I hate sleeping in the plop with a wet head. I just tried this last night and woke up to perfect hair that was dry!!! I had so much free time this morning which I NEVER have. So thank you so much!!!!
You are the answer to my wavy girl prayers. I just found you and am so excited! I have 2a/2b hair and have no idea what to do with it. I am starting my journey to experiment and figure it out and will be using your advice and videos :-)
I have the same curl type and i just started my CG journey. Do you have any advice? my curls currently look stringy and messy. I can tell it hasn't found its curl pattern yet.
Same! My waves definitely are on the stringy side right now, although I’m amazed at how much more curl is there when I use the right techniques. Trying to figure out how to create softer, larger curl/wave clumps now.
Of all the curly hair people I follow, you're the most helpful for me, and THIS video was a life changer for me. It's now my routine on washday to do it at night, squish in LA Looks gel and spread my hair up on my silk pillowcase. In the morning I have the best, luscious curls I've ever gotten by any other method. I just wanted to thank you for this video especially. My results were amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I’m one week in on my curly girl journey and I still have so much to learn. As a working mom of 3 kids, I don’t have much time to get ready in the morning and I am definitely going to try this because if I can wash and style my hair the night before, it’ll save me so much time! Thank you once again
You have literally saved almost half my life , thats the time you need to make love to your curls in morning while getting ready so that each curl makes your day....thankyou so much...loads of love...muaaahhhg💝🥰
So helpful, thank you!! 💖 I've found wearing a silk sleep bonnet on my head over my loosely braided hair helps promote and keep my curls intact while I sleep. 😉
I have just started embracing my natural hair and found you on RUclips and today at work on your website. Eek I’m soo in love you your videos and tips!
I always wash my hair at night and scrunch out in the morning. There's just no way I'd have time for a whole hair wash routine before work - I'm up at 5.30am as it is! ;)
Yea me too, 5:30 AM for an 11 hr work day (health-care) and this method works so great for me. I just clip up the front-sides with a small clip so it's out of my way when I see patients and I have great hair all day without spending way too much time on my hair!
Helpful video! I'm always dreading wash days during the week because of how much effort is involved. I'll definitely be giving this a shot! Your girls are absolutely adorable 😊
Speaking as a new curly (wavy) girl who doesn't like to spend a lot of time getting ready, I SOOOO appreciate your efforts (especially before coffee!). I'm learning a lot from your videos and my shopping list keeps growing. lol. I'll definitely be trying this method though as I like to take baths at night, so this should fit well into my new routine as I figure out what the heck that is :-) I hope school continues to go well.
I do the same thing! I find my curls have more volume when they finish drying while I sleep, especially since I sleep on my stomach. They don't get much pillow contact, but just enough to work out the crunch. Excellent video and it's a relief to see someone else not using the pineapple...it seems to pull out what little curl I have, so I don't use it.
Thank you for this video! I was stressing trying to figure out how I was going to manage my curls on my convocation day, I have to travel 4 hours the morning of the ceremony but still wanted to wear my curls!
This is so helpful for me! I've been struggling so much with finding a way to sleep with my curls and this works for me. Pineappling/Medusa clipping doesn't stay in place because I move so much in my sleep, but at least with this method I don't have to worry.
This was a GREAT video! Thank goodness you do these for all of us. This may be my goto routine. I almost never get to shower in the morning. I'll let you know how I do. (Your hair is so long in this video...I already forgot)
You're so welcome! I hope it works for you. I have to do a little more refreshing in the morning with this routine now that my hair is shorter (mostly from sleeping on it--the back gets crazy and flat), but it's still a major time saver on my end.
This is so fascinating! I am a wurly (wavy/curly) girl, but this is something I am a bit afraid to try. I mostly sleep with a pineapplebun, but that's only when my hair is already completely dry. I might try this!
You inspired me to try to curly/wavy girl method because our hair is similar in texture and waviness. After 1 wash and style I'm having the best hair day I've had in ages. Thanks for your videos, I'll keep watching and trying new things.
I just finished my third cycle of CG method and it keeps getting better with each cycle. I can't recall the last time I was complimented by a stranger on my hair and it happened twice today! The sales lady at Sally's even thought I used a curling iron to get it. You're the best.
Enjoyed the demo. Very helpful. It amazes me the amount of different products you put on. I try to use no more than 3 or 4. But, your hair and your children are gorgeous. 😊
I do tend to layer a lot of products. But just a little of each! They go a long way and they all have an important role, especially in summer when I need more control. Fall and winter are so much easier!
This is how I used to do it in 1999!! Maybe I wasn't as mad as I thought! I think the only problem was, I never understood the crunch situation haha xx
Omg! This is the best video ❤❤❤ I do the same thing with my hair cut I'm very lazy to do washing in the morning 😅but you showed I few very very important tips which I could not figure out, BTW I recently started cgm and your videos really help :)
This is how i actually refresh my hair at the moment, i don't like washing my hair in the morning because i take a lot time washing and styling my hair it takes me 20 minutes to wash and style my hair and the drying takes 1 and half hour since i only airdry (cause i haven't bought a diffuser yet). I got great defined waves the next morning, so dar this is the most effective way that i can do avoid messy refresh waves
Your babies are so adorable! And I love your videos. Everything is so well explained and it’s so nice to finally find someone who understands my hair:)
Hi! I'm new to your channel. I just tried this out and am so happy with the results! It was nice getting the weight off, and also, I prefer washing my hair at night during the colder months (so I don't have to go outside and freeze). Thank you for this! I also just bought the Curly Girl Handbook, so, life is good. :)
Love this vídeo! Great idea to wash and style at night. In the morning it's not easy, so much things to do... Your girls are so cute!💕What an adorable way to end this video!
I wish I could sleep like a Disney princess like you but it’s impossible. I sleep in the plop with an oversized t shirt towel by Hair Repear. I found a video from The Clean Curl called “Sleeping in the Plop” that demonstrates how to wrap the towel. It has changed my life and my curls for the better. I highly recommend all curlies watch it. I love all your videos and have been a fan girl for a while now. Thanks for doing all the footwork and product experimenting for me. I trust the recommendations and your techniques are so very helpful.
This helped a lot. Thanks for showing us all your products. First I copied down the 3 products you said you were going to use and then you used a whole bunch more. I'll have to run it slow to get those. I have been using Giovanni products, shampoo and conditioner, so I'm glad they are ok. Now I don't have to take the new ones back. I'm still confused, but better. Thanks for the video and for showing us how you do it. the overnight techniques are something I could use. Do you use a satin pillowcase?
Yay, I wanna try this method. My hair is too short for a pineapple and I'm not sure I'd love the look or feel of medusa clips or a wrap/scarf at night. Now to figure out if any vegan pillowcase material can work as well as silk.
I’m genuinely shocked your hair turned out perfectly after sleeping on it loosely. I did not expect that at all. I’m still nervous to do this myself, but I’m going to try this anyway to see how it works for me. I have waist-length hair and the only products I have are gel and hair milk that I use after shower, so fingers crossed! I always do a pineapple bun and wrap my hair AND sleep on a satin pillowcase too, so I’m terrified. LOL
Newbie here to the CG method. Trying all tips possible and so far loving your videos. Sooo many great tips and your waves are similar to mine so I’m excited to see results. Only thing is I’m such a simple girl when it comes to caring for my hair 😩 there are soooo many different products in your videos that you use. Hopefully I can get some good results without using so many products 🤞🏼
You are the sweetest! Thank you so incredibly much (I'm blushing!). I think most wavies choose to straighten, and I understand why. Maybe once they stumble upon my channel they'll come around, and I'll have a few more folks to call my curl-friends. ;) In the meantime, I'm so glad you're here!
Hey there, Im new!! I always thought I just had bad hair!! turns out im a natural wavy! Thanks for your videos, Im going to begin my journey to my mermaid waves!
Thank you so much for your videos. I have recently started the CG path. I have been gathering info like crazy and with your ‘assistance’. I look forward to see the process. 😎
Perfect! I'm literally about to go to bed with the best cast I've ever had and didn't know whether to scrunch it because I have like 5mins in the morning lol so off I go with my cast! Thankyou!
So enjoying your channel! Will you consider flowing one or two on getting the hair back and up - out of the face and off the neck - for exercise and work and something fancy, like date night? Also John Masters has a good gel - good hold/ cast.
Thanks so much! I've been thinking about doing something just like that, so keep an eye out. Appreciate the idea! Thanks for the tip on the gel, too. I'll have to try that one for sure!
Hi A! I’m watching this video in December 2019, and wow! Your curls, girl! Oops I mean your waves! This is exactly what I want my hair to look like so much! I love your current length too, it’s very becoming on your face shape, but I have a very round chubby face so I need the length. This video is going on my playlist for sure! Thank you so very much, love ya 💕!
I've always washed my hair before bed so i started doing this naturally and it's amazing! I sleep with it in a pineapple with a silk scarf wrapped around. The cast i use is Cantu custard :)
This was awesome! I actually sleep with my hair crunchy and in my satin bonnet I sleep like a crazy person and sometimes in the middle of the night my hubby pulls on my hair by putting his arms around me (my hair is ridiculously long) so I need to use the bonnet
I love it. It is definitely easier at night. I do use my buff at night because otherwise my back would be a frizzy mess. I've done my hair in yhe morning for so long after workouts. Not anymore, takes 3 hours 😮
I don’t get how you put so much product on your hair but it doesn’t just go really greasy?? My hair is also fine and about 2b/2c wavy and if I put five products on it it just dies and goes straight as hell? I just don’t understand how you get that result with SO much product on the hair?
Amy Hogger You have to apply products to soaking wet hair to dilute them and then scrunch with a microfiber towel to absorb the excess product and water. I also recommend plopping for 10 minutes or so too. I didn't believe it either but it does work.
There's a chance you're low porosity, so your hair doesn't absorb much, but what it gets stays in. You don't need as much product, it's better if you don't use much.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I do all this, sleep with my hair in a plop, the next day it looks amazing!. It's the day after that's the problem. I'm experimenting with different ways to deal with this on the weekend. I mean, do I get it wet again and diffuse? I actually had straight hair ALL MY LIFE and then it just turned curly on me. The time and money I've spent on my hair the last few years is ridiculous. But I kind of love my curls when they're perfect so..........
Do you mean that you sleep with it in a plop while it's still wet? After using a microfiber towel? I'm trying to work out what works best for me, but I seem to have a lot of frizz no matter what I do......
Just sending 💛. Have been lurking around your vids and you have got me off heat tools (except diffuser). You must have a huge cupboard full of products in rotation! Dare you to show that 😉
Great video. I love your curls & waves! You use so many products though that it is intimidating! If you had to pick one to splurge on, which would it be?
Well, they each have a very important job. It's rare to find one product that does it all. Cream keeps the frizz at bay in summer temps and helps my waves 'clump' better; the Deva foam enhances my curl tremendously; the Ouidad gel also helps with clumping and frizz control in summer temps, as well as definition and shine; and the Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee (BRHG) gives me the crunchy cast I really need to 'set' my waves. So, it really depends on what your hair needs. I know Deva just recently changed their foam formulation, so I can't recommend that one yet. Knowing how important a crunchy cast is to me, I would recommend splurging on the BRHG. You could also try Got2Be Glued gel in its place, which you can find for a few dollars at Target or CVS. I live by the crunch! :)
Hello from San Diego! I love your channel and am so thankful to have found you! I often wash and go and try to stay away from heat and diffusing, do you happen to have an air day routine that you can share with us? Cheers and gratitude! ❤️
Nah, I'm not an air dryer. I lose SO much volume that way. But you can always clip your roots and go about your day until it's dry. That's what I WOULD do, but I like to have good hair. LOL Wish air drying worked for me!
You were the first curly girl I found last summer when I decided to try the CGM. I'm a fellow wavy. And yet, I'm now circling back to this video because I'm going to try this tonight. I hate trying to squeeze in doing my hair every morning before work - half the time it looks like poo anyway. But I'm hoping sleeping in the crunch is the answer I've been looking for! One question though: Do you still do this now that your hair is shorter?
I have crunchy hair right now and I am about to try this...I am so scared of not putting my hair in a pineapple. I have a satin pillow case but I still very very afraid! Praying I don't wake up with a hot mess tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!
Omg your kids are adorable!!! Ok so I get the whole overnight routine which I hope works out for me because I shower at night because I get up so early. However, my question is what do you do the following night after the wash. Do you do the same routine except not wash your hair? Do you wet it or just condition it? I have low porosity hair course dense hair. I just recently discovered my hair even did this. I have straightened it with blow dryer my whole life. Thank you great videos. Also how do you discover new products you seem to stick with a couple same products but not all.
Hi! Thank you so much!! I do a pineapple of sorts. When it's longer, I do the pineapple style I demo in one of my videos, and on shorter hair I do a 'Medusa clipping' style pineapple as demo'ed by my friend FitKat Style on her channel. Works great! I usually wash again the following night, so my 'sleep in the crunch hair' is slept on twice before washing again. Glad this one has been helpful to you!
Thank you for showing your nighttime routine for a speedy morning. Do you sleep on a silk pillowcase? Also, did I see Alpha Delta Pi on your plop shirt? I’m also an ADPi!
I give more attention to the hair just up from the back of my neck. The way you are doing it is keeping the first several inches underneath flat. And sleeping by pulling it up behind your head also makes the underneath layers flat. I think this works for you because your hair is long, but it wouldn't work for shorter hair. Looks beautiful though! ;)
Thanks for this! I work at 5 in the morning so I get up at 3 to get ready (I do like a little time to putter around, drink cappucino and read, but still...). Taking 45 minutes off of that would be so helpful! Hopefully it works for me. Your girls are adorable btw. :D
I tried it last night and I am having a "bomb ass hair day" lol. I think this might be what I am finally looking for. Tip for you, if you want to try it, I pineappled my hair to see if I would get volume, and holy mother of god do I have volume. I'm so excited, lol. Thank you for suggesting this. :D
Nope, don't need it. If you think about it, rake and shake is an elongating technique that's truly designed for super-curlies. Makes great sense for them--it'll help align curl clumps, eliminating frizz, and help define their curls. I do use a wide-tooth comb to align my clumps and minimize frizz when I'm rinsing my hair in the shower, which is basically the same premise. But instead of shaking at that point, I start scrunching to help encourage the shrinkage of my wavy curls. Make sense? But try all things, by all means - you might be surprised what works for you!
How did or do you sleep with shorter hair for 2nd day after sleeping in the crunch? I can’t do a pineapple with my shoulder length hair and satin caps make it flat and smooshed. Even with the satin pillowcase my hair is an absolute mess when I wake up. Thanks for your great videos!
Hello! I know I'm super late but I want to ask, can you use a satin bonnet when I'm sleeping instead of letting it loose on a satin pilow case? Because I don't have a satin pillowcase so the only option I have is my satin bonnet 😂 Please answer me, and thank you!
You explain things so well in your videos. Thanks so much for being so thorough, it's helped me tremendously. I'm feeling so much better about my hair lately after trying out a bunch of your tips and tricks the last few months! Your kiddos are absolutely adorable!
Oh! I'm so glad!! That's wonderful to hear. So glad you're liking your hair better. Isn't it amazing how much better we feel when our hair is to our liking?And thanks--my girls are my world!

You are the answer to my wavy girl prayers. I just found you and am so excited! I have 2a/2b hair and have no idea what to do with it. I am starting my journey to experiment and figure it out and will be using your advice and videos :-)
Awww you're too kind. So happy to be able to guide you along the way! Can't wait to see how your waves transform!!
How is your journey going ?
I have the same curl type and i just started my CG journey. Do you have any advice? my curls currently look stringy and messy. I can tell it hasn't found its curl pattern yet.
Same! My waves definitely are on the stringy side right now, although I’m amazed at how much more curl is there when I use the right techniques. Trying to figure out how to create softer, larger curl/wave clumps now.
Kelsey Boswell how is your hair now girl? :)

Me too! Letting my hair drape over my satin pillow case and finish drying has saved me.
Please do a video on how to put your hair up for work while preserving curl...have to wear up for work
Me too
Same. I have to have it in a bun and a hair net. I let it out and it's so crazy. I cringe having to pull my hair back
Thank you for this video. I’m one week in on my curly girl journey and I still have so much to learn. As a working mom of 3 kids, I don’t have much time to get ready in the morning and I am definitely going to try this because if I can wash and style my hair the night before, it’ll save me so much time!

You have literally saved almost half my life , thats the time you need to make love to your curls in morning while getting ready so that each curl makes your day....thankyou so much...loads of love...muaaahhhg💝🥰
Oh! I also use the Tea Tree Triple Treat by Giovanni. It's great for wavy hair!
So helpful, thank you!! 💖 I've found wearing a silk sleep bonnet on my head over my loosely braided hair helps promote and keep my curls intact while I sleep. 😉

Yea me too, 5:30 AM for an 11 hr work day (health-care) and this method works so great for me. I just clip up the front-sides with a small clip so it's out of my way when I see patients and I have great hair all day without spending way too much time on my hair!
Wake up at 3. Problem solved.
Just kidding

I’m gonna try your technique ASAP and I honestly hope it works on my (curly) hair too. I’ll comment again with my results!
Can't wait to try this for a great "gurl tay." 🥰
LOLOL!!!
Love the end with your daughters! Have a great curl day! My hair is so porous it takes forever to dry. I may have to do a nighttime routine too.
Amazing thank you

Love it!!!
I love your videos so much! You are gorgeous and you should have wayyy more subscribers ❤️ so happy to find a wavy girl on RUclips!
You are the sweetest! Thank you so incredibly much (I'm blushing!). I think most wavies choose to straighten, and I understand why. Maybe once they stumble upon my channel they'll come around, and I'll have a few more folks to call my curl-friends. ;) In the meantime, I'm so glad you're here!
Thank you so much for this - I’m going to try it.
Great video!
Thank you so much!
Hey there, Im new!! I always thought I just had bad hair!! turns out im a natural wavy! Thanks for your videos, Im going to begin my journey to my mermaid waves!
You have beautiful hair!
Thanks love!
Could you maybe make a calendar of your hair schedule in terms of washes/conditioning and products used? I'm so visual!
Thank you so much for your videos. I have recently started the CG path. I have been gathering info like crazy and with your ‘assistance’. I look forward to see the process. 😎
Great video and your hair looks so good. Wonderful outro with two cute cameo appearances 💕💕
Oh thank you, on all accounts. They were NOT going to let me finish that video without them! My little sweeties. :)
Perfect! I'm literally about to go to bed with the best cast I've ever had and didn't know whether to scrunch it because I have like 5mins in the morning lol so off I go with my cast! Thankyou!
Thank you. Very helpful.
You bet!
Thank you for the video. Keepin’ the crunch real!
So enjoying your channel! Will you consider flowing one or two on getting the hair back and up - out of the face and off the neck - for exercise and work and something fancy, like date night?
Also John Masters has a good gel - good hold/ cast.
Thanks so much! I've been thinking about doing something just like that, so keep an eye out. Appreciate the idea! Thanks for the tip on the gel, too. I'll have to try that one for sure!
I just twirl all my hair in a loose bun and use a dozen bobby pins, leaving one curl out on the side. Everyone askes me if I am presenting
Hi A! I’m watching this video in December 2019, and wow! Your curls, girl! Oops I mean your waves! This is exactly what I want my hair to look like so much! I love your current length too, it’s very becoming on your face shape, but I have a very round chubby face so I need the length. This video is going on my playlist for sure! Thank you so very much, love ya 💕!
I mean waves are a type of curl so you weren’t wrong in your first part of your comment :)
I've always washed my hair before bed so i started doing this naturally and it's amazing! I sleep with it in a pineapple with a silk scarf wrapped around. The cast i use is Cantu custard :)
This was awesome!
I actually sleep with my hair crunchy and in my satin bonnet
I sleep like a crazy person and sometimes in the middle of the night my hubby pulls on my hair by putting his arms around me (my hair is ridiculously long) so I need to use the bonnet
Fabulous idea! That's a great modification.
I always just plop overnight, I love it!!
I love it. It is definitely easier at night. I do use my buff at night because otherwise my back would be a frizzy mess. I've done my hair in yhe morning for so long after workouts. Not anymore, takes 3 hours 😮
I wish I had thought of this last year! Would have made my summer a LOT easier!!
Jessica Bomgardner I need to buy a buff. Will it work for shorter curly hair too?
real life+curly girl what is a buff? thanks!
I don’t get how you put so much product on your hair but it doesn’t just go really greasy?? My hair is also fine and about 2b/2c wavy and if I put five products on it it just dies and goes straight as hell? I just don’t understand how you get that result with SO much product on the hair?
Amy Hogger You have to apply products to soaking wet hair to dilute them and then scrunch with a microfiber towel to absorb the excess product and water. I also recommend plopping for 10 minutes or so too. I didn't believe it either but it does work.
There's a chance you're low porosity, so your hair doesn't absorb much, but what it gets stays in. You don't need as much product, it's better if you don't use much.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I do all this, sleep with my hair in a plop, the next day it looks amazing!. It's the day after that's the problem. I'm experimenting with different ways to deal with this on the weekend. I mean, do I get it wet again and diffuse? I actually had straight hair ALL MY LIFE and then it just turned curly on me. The time and money I've spent on my hair the last few years is ridiculous. But I kind of love my curls when they're perfect so..........
Do you mean that you sleep with it in a plop while it's still wet? After using a microfiber towel? I'm trying to work out what works best for me, but I seem to have a lot of frizz no matter what I do......
Just sending 💛. Have been lurking around your vids and you have got me off heat tools (except diffuser). You must have a huge cupboard full of products in rotation! Dare you to show that 😉
Oh gosh! I'm not looking to scare anyone!! LOL Glad you're off heat tools, though!
Oh and thank you for the love!!!
I need to try this!!
Great video. I love your curls & waves!
You use so many products though that it is intimidating! If you had to pick one to splurge on, which would it be?
Well, they each have a very important job. It's rare to find one product that does it all. Cream keeps the frizz at bay in summer temps and helps my waves 'clump' better; the Deva foam enhances my curl tremendously; the Ouidad gel also helps with clumping and frizz control in summer temps, as well as definition and shine; and the Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee (BRHG) gives me the crunchy cast I really need to 'set' my waves. So, it really depends on what your hair needs. I know Deva just recently changed their foam formulation, so I can't recommend that one yet. Knowing how important a crunchy cast is to me, I would recommend splurging on the BRHG. You could also try Got2Be Glued gel in its place, which you can find for a few dollars at Target or CVS. I live by the crunch! :)
Hello from San Diego! I love your channel and am so thankful to have found you! I often wash and go and try to stay away from heat and diffusing, do you happen to have an air day routine that you can share with us? Cheers and gratitude! ❤️
Nah, I'm not an air dryer. I lose SO much volume that way. But you can always clip your roots and go about your day until it's dry. That's what I WOULD do, but I like to have good hair. LOL Wish air drying worked for me!
You were the first curly girl I found last summer when I decided to try the CGM. I'm a fellow wavy. And yet, I'm now circling back to this video because I'm going to try this tonight. I hate trying to squeeze in doing my hair every morning before work - half the time it looks like poo anyway. But I'm hoping sleeping in the crunch is the answer I've been looking for!
One question though: Do you still do this now that your hair is shorter?
This was awesome. :) I'm gonna have to try this.
Please do! Let me know how it works for you!!
Brava!
Thanks this is great!
One question - why not sleep in your pins?
You can totally do that, I just think they'd poke my head in my sleep, or rip out my hair from the root if I tossed and turned too much.
thank you for your videos my hair is very similar to yours
Your kids are so adorable
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
I have crunchy hair right now and I am about to try this...I am so scared of not putting my hair in a pineapple. I have a satin pillow case but I still very very afraid! Praying I don't wake up with a hot mess tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!
....AND??? How did it turn out?! Fingers crossed!
Omg your kids are adorable!!! Ok so I get the whole overnight routine which I hope works out for me because I shower at night because I get up so early. However, my question is what do you do the following night after the wash. Do you do the same routine except not wash your hair? Do you wet it or just condition it? I have low porosity hair course dense hair. I just recently discovered my hair even did this. I have straightened it with blow dryer my whole life. Thank you great videos. Also how do you discover new products you seem to stick with a couple same products but not all.
Hi! Thank you so much!! I do a pineapple of sorts. When it's longer, I do the pineapple style I demo in one of my videos, and on shorter hair I do a 'Medusa clipping' style pineapple as demo'ed by my friend FitKat Style on her channel. Works great! I usually wash again the following night, so my 'sleep in the crunch hair' is slept on twice before washing again. Glad this one has been helpful to you!
Thank you for showing your nighttime routine for a speedy morning. Do you sleep on a silk pillowcase? Also, did I see Alpha Delta Pi on your plop shirt? I’m also an ADPi!
Omg ADPi! Me too! First, finest, forever! 💎
YES!!!! Hi, sister! :)
I give more attention to the hair just up from the back of my neck. The way you are doing it is keeping the first several inches underneath flat. And sleeping by pulling it up behind your head also makes the underneath layers flat. I think this works for you because your hair is long, but it wouldn't work for shorter hair. Looks beautiful though! ;)
Thanks for this! I work at 5 in the morning so I get up at 3 to get ready (I do like a little time to putter around, drink cappucino and read, but still...). Taking 45 minutes off of that would be so helpful! Hopefully it works for me. Your girls are adorable btw. :D
+Gravincas Let me know how it works! It's been huge for me. And thank you. ;)
I tried it last night and I am having a "bomb ass hair day" lol. I think this might be what I am finally looking for. Tip for you, if you want to try it, I pineappled my hair to see if I would get volume, and holy mother of god do I have volume. I'm so excited, lol. Thank you for suggesting this. :D
Ah! I'm so glad!!!! Happy you're having a bomb ass hair day. It's the BEST! LOL
Awesome Vid! Totally fan-girl-ing! 😃
You're the best!
Awwww, thanks!!
I do this too!! I didn’t know this was an actual technique haha! Cool :)
Love your hair, and your girls are cutie pies!
Thank you so much!!
Have you ever tried the Ouidad rake n shake method for applying your product?
Nope, don't need it. If you think about it, rake and shake is an elongating technique that's truly designed for super-curlies. Makes great sense for them--it'll help align curl clumps, eliminating frizz, and help define their curls. I do use a wide-tooth comb to align my clumps and minimize frizz when I'm rinsing my hair in the shower, which is basically the same premise. But instead of shaking at that point, I start scrunching to help encourage the shrinkage of my wavy curls. Make sense? But try all things, by all means - you might be surprised what works for you!
Are you able to do night routine at night with shorter hair? I’m really struggling with how to do the short hair stuff.
Yep, my silk pillowcase helps tremendously!
How did or do you sleep with shorter hair for 2nd day after sleeping in the crunch? I can’t do a pineapple with my shoulder length hair and satin caps make it flat and smooshed. Even with the satin pillowcase my hair is an absolute mess when I wake up. Thanks for your great videos!
Hello! I know I'm super late but I want to ask, can you use a satin bonnet when I'm sleeping instead of letting it loose on a satin pilow case? Because I don't have a satin pillowcase so the only option I have is my satin bonnet 😂
Please answer me, and thank you!
I've done this and had success! So go ahead and try it!
You are so adorable!!!! Thank you for the video :)
Thanks for the tip on the humidity product!! I saw your Texas t-shirt so you know my humid issues too! :)\
