Thanks. I think the dislikes are because people judge the video before they watch more than a couple of minutes. My videos are not designed for the light minded or to be skimmed. They take thought, analysis, and discussion. Ha.
I think probably a complete hair wash might be easier. That might be reason for the dislikes but she has the best curls I have watched so far in RUclips
I don't like pointless negativity either. But to play devil's advocate, the dislikes are probably due to the fact that the process is kind of pointless. Why refresh if you have to go to almost the same work as to jump in the shower and cowash first? Err on cleanliness, I always say! She does mention that you should just get in the shower instead. And I agree with her! And I also agree that she has stunning curls. Wow-curls even! I hope using her method will help my curls plump and clump also! Thanks for all the great info in this video. I learned a lot about my curls! ♥
Hardly anyone mentions stringy second or third day curls. Thank you for the video! I'll try adding more watering and helping the clumps come back. Your curls turned out beautiful!
@@caraziegel7652 RUclips never told me about your message here. Thanks so much for commenting. Have you been to my website yet to see the products I used in my video? www.AthenaPadilla.com
I was under the impression that 'refreshing' was just slightly dampening your hair. I'm realizing it really does come down to your hair porosity as well as your curl pattern. I should've listened to my hair that one day when I literally stuck my head under the faucet and my curls looked even BETTER than the 1st day. Other girls get away with such a low maintenance routine but the fact of the matter is that everyone's curls are so different. I know what to do from now on, thank you for this video!
This has been my realization too. Environment also seems to be a big reason for either a low maintenance routine or a high maintenance one. The humidity is so high where I live pretty much all year round so I've realized as much as I would love to do less to my hair its just not possible. My hair reacts to spraying a fine mist of water on dry hair as the same as it reacting to humidity. If I'm not thorough about applying water my hair will continue to reach out to the air to get more moisture. So for me a 'refresh' ends up being a cowash on 3rd day hair.
To be fair, she's not really refreshing here, she's just showering without the shower :D haha. I've watched a lot of refresh videos, but none are as full on as this. Still, great video and her hair is beautiful!
Great tips. I am new to curly hair. I am 75 and just realized I have curly hair! LOL My daughter is teaching me some tips and these are a great addition to what I have been learning! Love love your hair! ♥
@River Benson I have been letting my hair grow and I am learning that I need to put it up in a ponytail at night. I take the ponytail out, shake it and spritz it and go. I put a little curl product in if I need to for the day. So I don't shampoo it every day. Good luck to you!
Renee Sullins Hi Renee, I am loving my hair. I have switched products a couple of times! I am finding I am really liking to Color Wow line of products! My hair is so soft! Find me on Facebook if you want to chat about it. You can find me at connie Norleen.
@@connienorleen I'm so intrigued by these statements from yourself and others saying you just realized you have curly hair! Could someone explain that because now I am wondering. My hair is very thin, flat, and straight on top and in front but thick and very wavy in the back and at the bottoms so always very hard to say what my hair type is!
@@aplainjaneproduction8285 Hi Laura, You sound just like me. I was so confused. Are you on FaceBook? If so friend me and we chat about how I discovered my curly hair and how I take care of it now! And I'll show you pictures. Just look for me by Connie Norleen.
Me too! I’m 65 and just realized I have curly hair. I even spent 10-15 years getting perms. I don’t care to spend all day on my hair so looking for a simpler routine. Getting a Devacut next week so maybe that will help.
I make a strong tea of lavender & sometimes other herbs, strain, then use to refresh my hair. Herbs smell great (aromatherapy) & are good for your hair. Chamomile (relaxing) for blondes. Rosemary (stimulating) for dark hair. Lavender (relaxing) for everyone. I mix 1/2 herbal tea & 1/2 pure aloe vera juice in a sprayer.
Wow. I am late af but have just discovered this video and I must say.....yours has been the MOST helpful when it comes to refreshing and I have watched ALOT of top curly hair influencers over the past three years. I love all of you but you legit gave me the answer to my refresh dilemma! Thank you !
I feel this way too....find that spraying and spraying and styling and diffusing takes almost as long as a wash day without the benefit of that feel food wash. I am with ya.
I could relate to this. Stringy hair on refresh days and sometimes on wash days and I always thought that the hair needed more product. And more gel and leave-in ultimately made the hair heavy and the result was doubly stringy hair than usual. Thanks for clarifying this bit. Knowing that your hair is low porosity helps, I face the same problem. It really takes about 5+ minutes in the shower to get it all wet. Thank you for this video.
I don't normally do refreshes because I don't like getting my roots wet due to dandruff issues. But wow! I learned a ton from this video even if I never do a refresh!
This video saved me from quitting on my curly hair and going back to brushed hair. Thankyou so much . All that water actually help a lot I have fine long curly hair almost like yours. Thankyou so much
Yes! Anytime I refresh I end with with flat frizzy curls. I will definitely be trying this method of soaking my hair to refresh. Thanks so much, very informative video :)
Thank you. I had it shared at one point in time but it is now secret because I'm getting it ready to be manufactured. You can purchase the conditioner and other products I make at my website though. Many products are in stock. www.NoFrizz.com
only way im able to “refresh” my hair is getting it wet in the shower and conditioning it almost everyday. i shampoo every 3-4 days but i condition it every day or every other day and reapply my products every time i do that
Ha ha yes curls!! I used to think it would be less maintenance than trying to straighten my naturally waves/curly hair 🙄 I know, right 🤷🏻♀️ It doesn’t matter what hair type/style you still have to put the work I . I’m going to use more water. Yes you can just get in the shower BUT even then you have to top up the water content, mine dries do quickly lol. Curls are great though and worth the effort. Thank you for taking the time to share so clearly. Have a lovely day 💐🇬🇧
Yes, I'd like to know your recipe for them. I just started the curly girl method yesterday. I have trouble putting too much product in my hair as it weighs it down easily. But if I don't get enough in it then it gets frizzy in the back. I'm letting it go natural and haven't colored or heat styled it in over a year. I'm getting it trimmed off soon and that should help the process. Thanks for the video!
The most I have learned is from this curly girl. Thanks for great video. You made it look so simple. Thanks for breaking it down. I think I can do it now!
I agree. My refresh is always quite frizzy. I end up saturating the ends to get the clump. Or I just scrap the whole refresh and wear it in a cute bun 😉
Girl I refresh exactly the same way! I use to put my head under the sink because it was less time consuming. I was told by a beautician, saturating my scalp everyday could cause hair loss. Your hair looks beautiful.
Thank you. I have found that the frequency needed for saturating one's scalp depends on personal need. My scalp is most healthy when I wash every third day but others do better on only once a week. Just do what is best for you.
Hello Athena, I'm German and use a translator. Thank you for your great and informative videos. You feel that you love your curls and you give yourself endless trouble with your explanations, show everything in great detail and in peace. Thank you thank you!
This is the first video of yours that I see, and I have to say that your curls are one of the most beautiful curls I'v ever seen!! just amazing you are definitly blessed!
Your hair is beautiful. Even wet. I’m a wavy with a few big spirals like yours. There is more and more of them each month. I enjoy your channel thank you
Thank you for this video. I thought I was the only one that didn't get the results I wanted from refreshing, I always end up wetting my hair in the shower. My hair used to be so beautifully curly, it's been so hard to find a good routine that works, now thanks to your video I think its probably because I stopped raking! All other people say not to rake, but now looking back I remember raking! Will try doing this again, thank you!
This is great for if you have special events to go to or going out for the day. But on a daily I just don’t care so much for my hair looking like a mess lol. Thanks for the video!
This is very helpful! I am new to the Curly Girl method and starting to think I must be doing something wrong because I get tons of frizz and strings when I try to refresh.
It's normal for a quick refresh to end up having a less defined result then one where we take more time. Just remember that the way we wear our hair is our choice, meaning, Curly Hair can have consistency and deliberate styles through practice, knowledge, and ability. Continue to learn how to manipulate your hair then as long as you get what you expect that's where we want to be!
Great tip! I never thought of this. If i don't soak to refresh I also get tons of frizz. My hair gets curlier every day i refresh. I add a little curl enhancer and gel every time too.
I have the same hair as you and ive always tried to "refresh" my hair so i dont have to wash it everyday.. Im deff gonna try this tomorrow. Thank u for this video!! I loved it, ur hair looks beautiful 😊
oh my goodness I wish I had seen this before I decided to "refresh" my hair! It's super stringy because the other videos told me to just dampen my hair.. Looks like I'll just re-wet it in the morning and hopefully save these curls
Hi Athena, I just watched your video and loved it but I have NO sound on my computer right now; so my question might sound stupid but the title states for "natural" hair and mine is semi-permanent colored. Will your routine work for it too? I'll come back once I get the sound back on. Thanking you in advance for the answer.
I just use a light detangler conditioning mist and scrunch a little, then just clip my hair up with a claw clip to dry. Less work for me, but probably not the kind of results some people want. This way works for my hair unless it is overly dry then I spray coconut oil on the ends.
I feel like a lot of these tips can be used on wash day too. Thank you! I never realized I was finger combing (raking?) wrong. Slowing figuring out the best methods for my curls
Great hair and totally agree with Madeline B. more water and t-shirt dry. I agree it does come down to your own hair prorosity and curls. I want to learn more about your homemade hair products since I am vegan.
What a great video! Thank you for showing us that it’s not always easy to refresh. I’ve not been successful as yet, but after watching this tutorial I think I will try it. Thank you so much!! ☺️
Excellent demo! My hair is quite different from yours, but I find spraying mine for a refresh just causes it to frizz. I really have to be wet to the scalp so I've always just wet it under the showerhead. The downside to that is that you lose alot of product under the showerhead and must reapply like it was wash day.
I find that the longer my hair is the less curls I have. But when I cut it, the curls come to life. I hate when my hair gets stringy in the back. Like Ill have all curls and 2-3 straight sections.
Thanks for teaching us! I'm new at this, maybe a week in. I try something a little different every day to experiment. My hair is more wavy but getting curly on the bottom, still straighter on top. I've blow dried and flat ironed for years and I think the conditioners are helping the health of my hair. I also stopped coloring my grays about 14 months so I'm grombrey with 4 different colors in my hair!
Oh wow!!! Your hair looks amazing!!! I love how curly your hair got! I am having trouble w my curls. They do not curl as they use to. I will use your technique on my next refresh day. Thank you so much for making this video!
we also would like to know the ingredients you use for your conditioner product... How do you make it your hair is beautiful and so are you thank you for your demonstration
Thank you! I've been dealing with second-day hair that is both stringy and frizzy at the same time. I also have difficulty with the ends getting tangled and dull-looking. I guess I just need to really wet and detangle my hair every day.
Beautiful curls! Thanks for sharing the tips & tricks! I just turned curly after years of straight hair so I am learning to care for the curls. Keep the videos coming....we love them!
I think you're the first person I see that has similar hair to mine, in terms of curl pattern and thickness! Not sure what what my porosity is, but I think it is low. Even the "before" look is so similar to mine! Never had my curls looks as good as the "after" though and now I can't wait to try your technique. So refreshing to relate :) Subscribed!
I just discovered you, and I love you. You are hilarious and so open, and genuine seem like happy person. Thank you for sharing tips. I'll try your routine I've watched today. I have fine hair so I'll use less product, and I started using flax seed gel I made.
Sticking head under the bath tub faucet is VERY fast and it gets hair all in the right position. Be sure to scrunch with a cotton cloth when done adding water and/or product. This will also speed up drying time.
I'm so glad this showed up in my recommendations! I could never get my hair to look nice with just a spray bottle. The water seemed to just run right off my hair and it would still be mostly dry. I'd always give up and just jump into the shower lol.
Thank you for this. A lot of my frustration with the Curly Hair method(s) is that it requires a lot of products I can't find where I live, but also I find my hair does best when I re-wet them every 3-4 days. Sometimes leaving a little hair conditioner in. Your video validated what I saw happening each time. Again, thank you!
I totally loved your video and getting more curly hair education each day. Glad that you spoke about the importance of working with totally wet hair. Very true as my hair is thinning a bit and I get straggly ends at the bottom of my curls and my bangs tend to frizz. I will try tomorrow about directing everything one way because I have so many cowlicks on top. Excellent and informative video.. Thanks so much...
You are Shirley Temple incarnated! Those curls are amazing and you are so right about getting stringy hair when I refresh. I guess if I have to wet my hair that much, I might as well just jump in the shower. Great tips!!
Thank you for this video. I'm new to the curly girl method, although I dampen my hair on refresh days I don't get it fully dripping wet, so I'll try this to see if it works for me :)
How I refreah. Spray all hair until pretty wet while finger combing hair. Add a bit of products and finger comb and smooth hair and finger comb a few times and scrunch and rescrunch if i see any crunch. Or I just shower and don't use shampoo just conditioner. Buuuut I have thin hair.
I love WOW products! They have a nice variety of paraben, sulfate, and silicone-free shampoos. Nice to see someone else has had a good experience with their products :)
RUclipsr Hair Romance has lots of different ways to refresh and go days without having to wash. She has curly hair too. I've followed her for years. Now I'll add Athena to my list!

What lovely, magic hair! Hoping to get mine to be happy and manageable like that too
Great tip! I never thought of this. If i don't soak to refresh I also get tons of frizz. My hair gets curlier every day i refresh. I add a little curl enhancer and gel every time too.

I really have to be wet to the scalp so I've always just wet it under the showerhead. The downside to that is that you lose alot of product under the showerhead and must reapply like it was wash day.
Ya. The trick is to learn how to deal with average hair. Ha. Either that or spend lots of extra time on it more often then we'd prefer. Lol.
I find that the longer my hair is the less curls I have. But when I cut it, the curls come to life. I hate when my hair gets stringy in the back. Like Ill have all curls and 2-3 straight sections.
Thanks for teaching us! I'm new at this, maybe a week in. I try something a little different every day to experiment. My hair is more wavy but getting curly on the bottom, still straighter on top. I've blow dried and flat ironed for years and I think the conditioners are helping the health of my hair. I also stopped coloring my grays about 14 months so I'm grombrey with 4 different colors in my hair!
Check out my Ribboning technique next, for added curl at the top.

Holly cow! Those curls are beautiful.
I am new to this CG method, and you just taught something new and valuable.
Thank you sooo much.
Oh wow!!! Your hair looks amazing!!! I love how curly your hair got! I am having trouble w my curls. They do not curl as they use to. I will use your technique on my next refresh day. Thank you so much for making this video!
My hair texture is just like yours, I'm glad I found you 😍😍😍
we also would like to know the ingredients you use for your conditioner product... How do you make it your hair is beautiful and so are you thank you for your demonstration
Come to my Facebook pages or private group to learn more.
Your curls are amazing. G8 video and tips.
Thank you! I've been dealing with second-day hair that is both stringy and frizzy at the same time. I also have difficulty with the ends getting tangled and dull-looking. I guess I just need to really wet and detangle my hair every day.
hwales1 if it’s just your ends are getting tangled it might be time for a trim. When was your last trim? Trims also encourage curling at the ends
Gabi Marie Just had one less than a month ago. My hair is quite fine and has always tangled easily. Just looking at it will tangle the ends.
Try the Anti-frizz Liquid I make at www.NoFrizz10.com. It is a light weight detangler for daily use and natural.
oh my goodness, your hair is gorgeous-it really respons to your homemade gel... after you diffused it was amazing!!
Beautiful curls! Thanks for sharing the tips & tricks! I just turned curly after years of straight hair so I am learning to care for the curls. Keep the videos coming....we love them!
Wow!! Your hair is amazing! Wish my refresh would come out like that.
I think you're the first person I see that has similar hair to mine, in terms of curl pattern and thickness! Not sure what what my porosity is, but I think it is low. Even the "before" look is so similar to mine! Never had my curls looks as good as the "after" though and now I can't wait to try your technique.
So refreshing to relate :) Subscribed!
Your hair is sooooooo pretty!! Very helpful vid!!
I just discovered you, and I love you. You are hilarious and so open, and genuine seem like happy person. Thank you for sharing tips. I'll try your routine I've watched today. I have fine hair so I'll use less product, and I started using flax seed gel I made.
I don’t refresh but this turned out great 👍 I just don’t have this much time. My hair takes long to wet down as well.
Sticking head under the bath tub faucet is VERY fast and it gets hair all in the right position. Be sure to scrunch with a cotton cloth when done adding water and/or product. This will also speed up drying time.
I'm so glad this showed up in my recommendations! I could never get my hair to look nice with just a spray bottle. The water seemed to just run right off my hair and it would still be mostly dry. I'd always give up and just jump into the shower lol.
why not directly wet it in the shower
Thank you for this. A lot of my frustration with the Curly Hair method(s) is that it requires a lot of products I can't find where I live, but also I find my hair does best when I re-wet them every 3-4 days. Sometimes leaving a little hair conditioner in. Your video validated what I saw happening each time. Again, thank you!
I totally loved your video and getting more curly hair education each day. Glad that you spoke about the importance of working with totally wet hair. Very true as my hair is thinning a bit and I get straggly ends at the bottom of my curls and my bangs tend to frizz. I will try tomorrow about directing everything one way because I have so many cowlicks on top.
Excellent and informative video.. Thanks so much...
You are Shirley Temple incarnated! Those curls are amazing and you are so right about getting stringy hair when I refresh. I guess if I have to wet my hair that much, I might as well just jump in the shower. Great tips!!
Thank you. I have a garden tub in my new house. It's been so convenient to use the faucet to get my hair wet really fast!
Thank you for this video. I'm new to the curly girl method, although I dampen my hair on refresh days I don't get it fully dripping wet, so I'll try this to see if it works for me :)
please make a diy video on this homemade conditioner and the gel!
Did you see my Flaxseed cream gel video yet?
And more recipes and prepared products at my website! www.athenapadilla.com
Stunning curls, wow!
How I refreah. Spray all hair until pretty wet while finger combing hair. Add a bit of products and finger comb and smooth hair and finger comb a few times and scrunch and rescrunch if i see any crunch. Or I just shower and don't use shampoo just conditioner. Buuuut I have thin hair.
You look beautiful! Very useful tips:) I think your finger brushing method (with a head upside down) is exactly what i was missing :D thank you!
The end result is so pretty! Spray bottles do not work good for me though, would make my hair frizzy. I have thick coarse hair I guess that's why :(
If your hair prefers a product instead of water, then find a light weight product that can saturate your hair.
New favorite product..."WOW Dreamcoat" for curly hair. No more multiple products, just this! Amazing!
I love WOW products! They have a nice variety of paraben, sulfate, and silicone-free shampoos. Nice to see someone else has had a good experience with their products :)
Sometimes my hair takes a full 5 mins to get wet... And not even assorbed yet.
RUclipsr Hair Romance has lots of different ways to refresh and go days without having to wash. She has curly hair too. I've followed her for years.
Now I'll add Athena to my list!
Is fantastic to hear a curly person say they really don't like to do a refresh. And also follow up by saying that she brushes it out instead. 👍👍👍👍
Awesome video! Amazing curls
LOVE your ringlets! My hair is doing that more and more as I learn to take care of it and I can't wait to see where it ends up!
Oh, great!
