    Your hair is always soooo shiny and silky and not frizzy at all. Even when you say it’s bad it’s beautiful.... my hair is ALWAYS frizzy, messy, dull. Every product I’ve tried never works. I’m so discouraged and just want hair like yours !!

      Same here...and if I use enough product to tame the frizz it's too much and then it's weighed down and I have to wash after 2 or 3 days. I feel your pain!

    • @eunnikins
      @eunnikins 4 года назад +43

      I think her hair is just lower porosity and fine, as well as a loose curl pattern, which makes it tend more towards that mirror shine. her water could be softer as well. people with higher porosity/coarse hair who may have harder water will have to focus more on doing ACV rinses and getting enough hydration and moisture. using a brush to style while it's *wet* has helped me with frizz and definition as well.

    • @eunnikins
      @eunnikins 4 года назад +29

      and don't forget a ring light or a flash picture can make hair look extra shiny, her hair in sunlight or indoor lighting probably looks much lower contrast and dull (but still amazing I'm sure)

      Yep, I recognized your accent and bouncy personality as pure Texan right away! Our Texas weather adds an extra challenge for we curly girls, but these Cantu products are my faves...they work wonders! I have fine, thick, 3B, 3C curls. I use the Define & Shine Custard (basically, gel in a jar) instead of the glue gel. The custard has that weird thick sticky feel too, but the cast is softer and most of it breaks up overnight as long as I don't use too much. Next morning I take my pineapple down, leave my hair alone for a bit and it usually falls into place. Occasionally I might have to do a little root shake/fluff but that's it.

    For your refresh spray try adding Cantu curl activator cream to a spray bottle with water. Just play with the amounts you add to the water cuz to much can be to heavy depending on hair type. This also works great as a detangler.

    I haven't seen that hair" goop"...
    What I use is twist/lock gel..
    After the curl enhancer.
    I go 3 days w.out washing
    (I have MS so I'm not very active)
    To refresh I use water and their curl comeback/refresh spray..
    I never realized how wavy my hair was on its own. I used to get perms(80s) then tried the straight look..

      I get a cast with the curl activator cream, but I apply it to damp/almost dripping hair. I find that when I apply product to soaking wet hair and then scrunch, it takes out some of the product.... So I scrunch after I condition and then apply the styling product.

    I’ve been watching Courtney since the first of the year (2020) when I started the CGM. I’ve turned into a product junky. But I just tried the Cantu products and low and behold I think I’ve finally got the shine and swing, at least today. It’s the new avacado product. I think my hair is somewhat like Courtney’s, only I have left over color and a loose perm from a year ago. But today I can see results of the CGM. I don’t follow the CGM all the way. I can’t keep from running a wide tooth comb through my hair. But today I haven’t grabbed a comb (yet), yay!!!

My favorite one on your hair was the Cantu. I have those products and feel like I get tremendous curl that reactivates so well - but the product "feels" a little heavy in my hair - it's still a BEAUTIFUL result. Haven't tried the Cantu glue gel, but I'm interested.

      Rebecca Roades it’s happening to me too 😭 I’m 44 and personally I think it’s an age thing. So currently I’m massaging upside down and tapping my scalp daily for blood flow. I’m also using a derma roller twice a month on certain areas, and focussing on my multi vitamins, omega 3s and B vitamins to see if I can slow down the shedding. I never thought I would shed this much but it’s also important to consider hair growth cycles and that plays a part as well.

    Cantu curl activator cream was one of the first products I bought. I loved it in the beginning because my hair was heat damaged and dry and I got great results with soft shiny curls and good clumping. But with time my hair became over moisturized and kind of heavy and the results started looking greasy even on the first day. After the initial moisture needs from damage I found that I really couldn't use the Cantu on my fine 2c/3a curls. They just couldn't stand up to such a heavy product. I would try that gel though just because I think it's a great brand for curly girls. Wavy girls have to be careful not to weigh our curls down.

Maybe look at getting products for volume at the root or just squish right up to the root. I find drying my hair with a microfiber towel gets lots of curls at the top too, dont ring out the water

      @rld1278 4 года назад

      Yep, cantu, kinky curly, and Camille rose work much better on my hair than not your mother's, I haven't tried Deva and for the cost plus problems I won't.

    Can you do a second-day one-brand refresh with the same line as the wash days?

    • @mspurefunk5
      @mspurefunk5 4 года назад +4

      Yes, i like the way that your talked about slip and the slipperiness of these products in general but the second day it fell A LOT. Or do you think thats about normal? From this like Ive only used the styling products but I find the curl activator is great on my hair.

    • @shadeclark7838
      @shadeclark7838 4 года назад +3

      I know that you don’t refresh very much. But could you test how the leave ins work (if the line has) for refresh after dampening the hair?. Or even adding a bit of the lines conditioner to the spray bottle. I also like to add a hold product after I put the leave in to give my hair definition after I weighed it down with leave in. I m not sure if you would do that but maybe testing the hold products in the line (gel, foam/mousse, cream) work as a refresh or if they are crunchy. I hope that makes sense. Sorry for rambling lol.

  • @mls3555
    @mls3555 4 года назад +8

    I am a newbie to "natural hair" I've just discovered my waves (2b) & I am so excited to see if I actually have more curls going on than I am aware of, so many new products to try! I haven't tried gels because I am terrified of them LOL!! My texture looks similar to yours (fine/medium strands but overall thick hair)
    I like to brush oil through the length of my hair at night & I am afraid that I won't be able to do that If I use any gel product. Once you break up the cast is your soft enough to gently brush if you wanted to? I am thinking of trying the NYM Curl Talk gel since you say it's a medium hold. My curls have never clumped but it's wash day & I have new products & new techniques -THANKS to YOU=)
    Also IF I wanted to curl my 2nd or 3rd-day hair with a curling iron- If I had used gel the previous wash day, then I definitely should NOT curl with heat right???

  • @asmith9849
    @asmith9849 4 года назад +19

    My wash day hair is always too soft and I can never get a cast! I always lose definition on wash day and have been looking for a really hard hold gel so I really need to try this!

  • @AlaraHoop
    @AlaraHoop 4 года назад +6

    That looked so pretty on day 1 but really did not hold up well into day 2 compared to many of your other one brand washdays. Could you do another week of washdays video? I really loved your last one as I think it gives a more comprehensive look into your routine of when you clarify, deep condition, that your hair doesn't have to be perfectly styled all the time etc. I'm still trying to find balance with my hair.

  • @darcypalmer7783

    I just tried the sulfate free cantu shampoo and conditioner last night and wow, I was blown away! It had a great deal of lather, which surprised me. It does strip my hair, but the conditioner is so incredibly hydrating and definitely makes up for it! The slip is insane, I've never had that with a regular conditioner. The smell of both products are ahhh-amazing! A cross between coconut and pineapple. I haven't seen the glue gel in stores. Now, I want to try the coconut curling cream and curl activator or revitalizer?

  • @jennys1983
    @jennys1983 4 года назад +1

    I’ve used the shampoo, conditioner, and cream, and my hair LOVES the shampoo (for a mild clarify, just like you said!) and cream, but the conditioner didn’t seem to do much; the Tresemmé coconut oil & aloe vera conditioner works much better for me. I just bought the Define & Shine Custard (£3.49 on sale, instead of £5.49 for a big tub, can’t go wrong!) and my hair loves that too! I might try that gel, for longevity, my curls like something with more hold, like the Giovanni gel (which I bought because of you 😊). Thanks for the great review! 💖

  • @emilylerman9028
    @emilylerman9028 4 года назад +2

    last night I was so frustrated. I have been trying the cgm for a couple of weeks now (I haven't been using sulfates on my hair in a while; it actually turned out that my fav shampoo was curly girl friendly!) and yesterday it was terrible. my hair took forever to dry even with diffusing I know you've said to not use heat on your hair when you first start the cgm but tbh I didn't use heat on my hair before, my hair isn't dyed, and my shampoos were sulfate-free) and my hair looked straighter than it ever looked before. defeated, I went to youtube to solve my problems and I found your channel. your hair seems very similar to mine. I watched a couple of your videos last night, soaking up every bit of information I could. I tried them this morning and they definitely helped! I don't think I nailed it perfectly yet but I'm sure I will with time. I'm definitely gonna keep watching your videos and keep trying!
    I have a question. you mentioned in a video that you don't co-wash because you have fine hair. but how does one know if co-washing is good for them or not? in general, for the first couple of months, you can expect one's hair to look shitty, but how does one know if it's because of co-washing (I guess that same question can be posed to any product)? I'm still trying to determine for myself if I should co-wash but I'm not sure how to tell if my hair likes it. when you first tried the cgm did you try co-washing?

    • @SwavyCurlyCourtney
      @SwavyCurlyCourtney  4 года назад +3

      Emily Lerman So the reason I don’t co wash all the time is I found it weighed down my hair and made my scalp itchy if I did it too many times in a row. Hope that helps! You’ve got this! I know this is hard but it is totally worth it.

    • @emilylerman9028
      @emilylerman9028 4 года назад +1

      @@SwavyCurlyCourtney That makes sense. I was co-washing and the first couple of days I liked it. I noticed that my day 3 hair was a little greasier than normal but thought nothing of it. Then yesterday I co-washed and thought I scrubbed my scalp pretty well and my hair just felt gross and weighed down. I'll probably end up co-washing in between washes maybe? Omg thank you so much for responding!!

    I have a question since i have almost the same curltype as you do (actually mostly 2C): Do you brush your hair dry the days after washday? And if so: how do you keep it as shiny?
    Because when i do that it gets frizzy but if i don't my hair looks messy, and refreshing like most curly girls do takes too much time for me.
