I just want to say Thank you! for your video. That gel is amazing, I love it! never thought it was going to be this great. I’ve followed your advice and I am very pleased with the results. My hair is low porosity and used a little less gel than you did and my hair is shiny, soft, natural looking curls. Thank you!!
I am just now learning about these methods and wish I had learned how to better deal with my head back in my 20's 30's or 40's but now at 50 at least I am going to love my hair again! Going to get products today after work and picking up my Curly Girl book from the library!
Even an old curly girl can learn new tricks. I have been watching many of your videos. You are so dang cute...as well as the little guy...I love his appearances. It is great that your are using affordable products and getting great results. Your hair is amazing!
Don’t know if you’ll ever see this but: I just want to say THANK YOU!! I’m 22 and have been dealing with my crappy hair since I hit puberty since that is when my hair started to go nuts for some reason. It became a mix of wavy, curly, straight, and poofy. Of course with a healthy mix of frizz. I tried everything but eventually gave up. Thinking that my hair was just destined to be that way. Until I first heard about curly-girl last year. At first I thought it was too good, too simple, to be true. So chalked it up to just more B.S. until I researched more just this past month. So I finally decided to take the plunge after watching this video. I even bought the same gel you recommended! And it actually worked!! I couldn’t believe it. Just with the first 2 Co-washes, I noticed my hair is much better looking. I apparently have natural loose curls and I couldn’t be more thrilled! All those frustrating years of taking almost 2 hours every day to straighten my hair and in the process damaging it to hell or just putting it up are over! So even if I heard of the Curly Girl Method before, I credit you for helping me make the decision to finally try it. For unlike many other videos/websites, you keep things simple and don’t recommend outrageously expensive products my broke college self can’t afford which was also why I hesitated before. So with that rather long rant over, thanks so much again!
Thank you. For some reason, i always thought my curly hair was ugly and i would always flat iron them. Thank you for making me realise i had something beautiful all that time. I have decided, I'm going on that curl restoration journey!
You are great , you have help me so much..... haha,I am a old grandmother but I like the long curls. Didn’t have any idea how to get started. Precious baby.
No your not alone. I cant defuse it makes it frizzy and I have low porosity hair. I usually dont have 3 hour in between styling and leaving to wait for it to dry
I've neglected my curls for years and recently have been trying to establish a new routine for my hair. I have to say you are the best RUclipsr I've watched regarding the Curly Girl Method. Quick, concise and to the point. I also appreciate the simplicity and affordability behind the products. Thank you!!!
This is the easiest tutorial with minimal products I have ever watched. Thank you!! I think i need to use more gel. Have you ever tried a curl enhancer? I love those. Loving your videos:)
Finally a real confident woman. I really like your natural style. You don’t over do anything ... neither your hair nor your make up. Thumb up. 👏👏see girls you don’t need to over do to be stunning.
So so glad that I came across your channel as I recently discovered about the CGM. I was incredibly overwhelmed about where to start from because mostly all CGM influencers recommend and use multiple products that are quite expensive and have hair wash routines that are very time consuming. Your CGM regimen is so simple and easy to follow for a beginner like me who's just starting to embrace her curly hair.
Hey Susie, Just wanted to come back on here real quick and give you a great big THANK YOU!!!! Just did my "wash day" routine and actually tried out the gel for the first time. As I said before, I typically always used creams before because I never felt like gel looked right in my hair. It always seemed to have that crunchy wet look... but thanks to your tips, I am IN LOVE!!!! I have literally never seen my hair look better. It looks so much curlier than it normally does and less weighed down. I was SO surprised! My husband even noticed and commented on how much better my hair looked tonight after I finished plopping and letting it air dry! He LOVES my natural wavy/curly hair, and told me whatever I did differently tonight, that I need to keep doing every time because it looks so much better! ❤️ You've officially made me a Gel Gal for LIFE! 😍 LOL.
Hey Kayla!!! I’m so so glad. Your hair will only get better & better 💕💕💕 if you ever put too much in & get the crunchy look, just use your hands or a Tshirt & scrunch out the gel & it’ll look awesome.
Curly Susie I will be sure to remember that! I didn't put a ton in, tonight. I want to try the gel cast next time I do my wash day routine. But I did a decent "normal" amount this time, I guess you can say. LOL. It just had a tad bit of a crunch to it, but nothing crazy. I used your trick with a bit of conditioner and scrunched out the little bit of crunch I had and it looks absolutely phenomenal. I still can't believe it. I don't want to go to bed because it's looking so nice right now! 😂😂😂
Curly Susie loose messy bun?! Or more of a loosely twisted bun?! Only asking because I've been looking for new Sleeping tricks to help my hair look its best. My hair seems to be too long to do the traditional Pineapple method. I still do it from time to time when I don't feel like using a scarf, but it doesn't seem to look as nice when I wake up.
Just started the curly girl method about a week ago! Your videos have really helped me start this method out. I'm still struggling with finding products that work for me, but I will get there! I cant get over what a difference I've had since my first wash. I got a hair trim the day after my first wash and talked to my hair stylist about this method. She made sure to wash my hair with silicone free and sulfate free cleansing shampoo and the results I am getting are truly impressive! I also am struggling with a bit of frizz that I get, but i feel like you and i have the same hair type! I'm excited to see the full potential of my curls! I wish I could post a before and after picture of my first wash, but I dont know how to do that through youtube....maybe I will figure it out soon! But you are so cute curly Susie and I truly enjoy your videos and advice!
I grew up with straight hair, only 8 months ago my hair started being wavy and curly like how your hair looks like now. If I take good care of it it'll look as beautiful as yours does so thanks for the very helpful video!
Susie, I'm shocked at the results you get with the inexpensive products that you use. Your hair looks shiny, bouncy and beautiful. Out with the "you get what you pay for" say. I'd say "spend less and get more and better results!" WOW! I'll definitely check out the gel you use. Thank you Susie!
I love how simple this routine is. I just started two weeks ago, I've been wearing my hair natural for about 15 years but was still using harsh shampoos and silicone conditioners and styling products to combat frizz and dullness.... now I know why it was wasn't working. Thanks for being so thorough with your tutorial!
Thank you!! I'm so happy to see a cg video that does not have diffusing! Diffusing does help me get more definition, but I so much prefer to air dry. I leave my house all the time with wet hair & it doesn't bother me, but I hadn't thought of leaving the clips/pins in while I went out; going to have to try that. Thx again!
@Curly Susie i came across your channel while searching for beginner-friendly curly/wavey girl methods and boy am i glad i found you! I have got wavey hair, but it is severely damaged due to a Brazilian blowout that i got 3 years ago. It caused severe hair fall; my hair became limp, flat, dull, dry and devoid of volume. No matter how hard I try, i cannot style it, because my hair has just stopped holding any styles, be it curls or straightening or even blow-drying-- nothing sticks; but after watching your videos i will be starting my wavey hair journey this week-- lots of love from Pakistan❤
I incorporated these methods using the products I already owned (cgm approved) and the results have been great. Even my hair stylist noticed how great my curls are looking! Thank you for breaking it down simply and realistically ❤️
I love everything about you and your videos!! You're such a joy to watch, and you inspire me with every video on what's possible for me. I started transitioning this week after 10 years - gulp - of keratin treatments and straightening, and I know my road to get back to my natural 3B curls is very long but I feel empowered now to see it through! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and tips with us!
This was very helpful thank you! All my life I thought I had straight hair but then I started using sulphate free shampoos so I could grow it out long and I found out my hair was actually really wavy. I didn’t know how to properly take care of my new hairs texture. You helped me so much!
I also wash my hair upside down throughout the shower and application of the gel. It encourages lift and doesn’t let the water flow continuously push it down and make it heavy
OMG! I did this today for the very first time and my hair looks AMAZING! I took me some time to embrace my curly hair (most of my life) and since then I've been looking for the Holy Grail of the curly hair, and I think I found it! Thank you so much!
Fkkk I watched almost 1000s of CGM Videos ... and almost tried different methods and ... things which also were taking a lot of my time doing hair... and Suddenly bumped into yours ... its took me 15-20m in total and your hair pin step and plopping literally defined my hair THANKS a lot darling
Hey a good tip of pining ur front bangs... I recently started curly girl method n its working nicely but my front hair r still not managable... I will defiantly try this pining process
This is the first time watching any of your videos, and I just loved you and your personality. I will try your method and love the fact that it is so simple!
Thank you for another great video. I’ve watched this one three times. Very helpful. I’m glad us curly girls have come to the realization we don’t need to straighten our hair for it to be pretty. It is so great not needing to dry and straighten (and damage) our hair any more. Thanks for inspiring us and giving us so many great tips. My hair is slowly getting healthier and so much of the torn hair is growing in now. Thanks Susie.
I know this is an older video but I have to say Biotera and the Tresemme Condish she recommends Botanique Coconut & Aloe are da bomb! I've found drugstore products to be really really good! And Bioterra is affordable too! So glad I found you Susie! Thank you!!
Excuse me while I go put the giant tub of gel I just bought in my shower. I don't co-wash but this is the easiest routine I've found so far. I squished to condish, scrunched, and plopped the other night w/o gel and my curls came out but quickly turned into a frizzy lion's mane with the humidity here in South TX./México.
Thank you SOOOOOO much!!! I've been looking for a technique to make my hair be not a ball of sad, frizzy waves for so long!! Both my father and sister have thick, beautiful big curls, but I inherited my mother's thinner hair, so I had no idea how to compensate for that. My hair was always like a 2a texture, but somedays it would be 2b/2c, and I had no clue how to get it to stay like that! I switched to all natural shampoo and conditioner and used your routine in the shower, and made a gel cast and oh my gosh!! It makes such a difference! My hair is shiny and my waves/curls form better and they stay in! I guess I was brushing it and towel drying it to death! I can't believe I've finally found a way to make my hair behave, thank you so much for this video!
Love your simplicity! Your hair looks amazing. I have been using a very loose thin plastic hair band to gently hold my wet hair back as i apply makeup etc. I can pull pieces gently forward so when it dries and I remove the hair band I get volume in the front, similar to your pins.
Your curls are perfect 😩 I feel like even if I do follow these steps, my hair will never turn out this way. I’ve tried plopping before and i just can’t seem to get the same results I see other people getting
I finally just used that Bioterra gel for the first time today. GAME CHANGER. You have been a super helpful guide through this CGM journey (since this past March for me), so thankful!!!
You are so cute. Thank you for helping me start my curly journey. Your videos are the best. Most relatable I’ve found so far. I keep coming back to ur videos. And I’ve rewatched a few over and over. Lol
Thank you does not feel adequate! I am overwhelmed by the process wavy almost curly girls have to go through to get some extra curl. My wavy hair will never look like yours but I am so excited to try this simple, affordable routine and see if it will work on my curl pattern! Thank you!!!
Just want to say I'm a beginner. I have no idea what I'm doing. But your videos have been my go to! And i shared some with family. So thank you for these simple videos.
I’m new at CG and after I clarified and did a deep condition on my hair, I tried your simplified method with Suave Naturals conditioner and the Biotera Gel. It was the first time my hair looked good! Thank you so much for simplifying it in this video. By the way, I LOVE YOUR HAIR!
Thank you so much! I have been over-complicating my routine with too many products and too much fuss. Your video reminded me to keep it simple, so today I did, and had the bear hair I’ve had in a while! A great reminder that more is not always better 😊
Thank you for this.im embarrassed to say that I'm a lazy 35 yr old curly girl cause I always tie up my hair and relax it every two years.im gonna try this
I just wanted to say thank you for this video! I have been wanting to start the curly girl method for awhile now, but trying to find some simple and easy instruction on just the wash routine (specifically co-washing) has been nearly impossible. You make it so easy to understand! Now I actually feel excited to start this journey rather than overwhelmed, so thank you!
Thanks for this vid! I just started to do CGM for about 2-3 weeks now. Your vid helped me a lot esp you only used few products on your hair unlike the other bloggers.
Thank you for another great tutorial. You & your hair are beautiful and you are so funny!! I am a week into Co-Washing & I am already so happy with my hair.
Thank you very much, Susie! Sometimes I get in despair that my wavy hair will never be so good and healthy-looking as I'd wanted it to be, especially after all the damage I've put it through, but watching you, irradiating energy, recharges me with motivation and hope!
Im new at this and thank you thank you for this video! My hairdresser explained everything but I forgot half of it. Your video is really very clear. I'll keep it close by when I'm going to wash my hair. Really like it to that you come across very natural. Thanks! Irene.
Absolutely love your videos and how you have such a simple routine. My hair has thinned a lot on top and doesn't sit as nice as I'd like it too. I'm on day 13 of my CG journey. Still working on a style that's quick and looks good.
Thank you again for giving me more tips and believe me I need all the help I can get! I am only on my second week of the curly girl method. My sister got me started on it and actually I had never even thought about going curly, well maybe occasionally! I knew I had curly hair because I remember dreading humid days, and I live in south Texas which is known for it's humidity in the summer. I envied those with super straight hair that just dried that way and I had to really work at it. I used Dippity-Do to straighten my hair, along with huge curlers and taping my bangs to my forehead! Yes, and a couple days ago I ran across my old friend Dippity-Do!! Now used to help curl your hair and keep it curlier. I was shocked that it even still existed and I'm considering trying the spray leave-in but not sure I want that stiff feeling even though I am told I can scrunch it out! I can't believe there are so many products to choose from and it confuses me even more. I appreciate your videos so much because you seem to make it simpler and therefore easier for me. And your hair is so full of curls it's absolutely beautiful! I yearn for ringlets now when just several weeks ago I was blow drying and using my trusty little straightener to smooth it out even better. I quit coloring my hair about a year or so ago and now it's down past my shoulder blades. If you have any suggestions on how to best have layers cut I would really appreciate it because I think that would help! God bless and your little boy is adorable!!
I haven't started CG yet, I'm actually waiting for the right products to arrive, but I just wanted to say thank you. Your channel is so informative, I can't wait to see the results on my hair!
Ordered the oil for my hair and for my skin, tried their free trial offer, I made sure to read how the trial promo works and was surprised of the regular price of the essence of argan but they offered me a very good deal for only $29.99 every month. Been 8months since I started using the oil and Im loving the result! Best result I've had compared to all skin care products used before! Essence Of Argan Oil and Idrotherapy cream, just helps me a lot. The best skin care i ever had.
I love your hair it's absolutely beautiful. My daughter (4 years old) has curly hair and she's starting to lose some of her curl. (Like I did at her age) I'm hoping with the curly girl method we can get it back.
I just stumbled across you & your videos. I’m 41 years old & never knew there was a method. I finally gave up shampooing everyday about two years ago & it has helped so much, but I’ve been researching more to get more curl out of my hair. One thing I’ve been super surprised by you & other curly girls mentioning is the use of nonsalon products. I’ve always been told to use salon products because they’re so much better. I’m assuming this is true for color which I do also. I recently got the bioterra gel from Sally’s you use, and it’s been a life changer.
This is so helpful!! I’m the only curly girl in my family so I’ve never had much instruction on how to make it look nice! I’ve been fuzzy/frizzy headed too long!!! Excited to start!
I have never commented on anything but you are my very favorite and have made the process of restoring my curls seem somewhat possible, so thank you! I'm not fully committed yet because I'm in a wedding at the end of the month and know the beginning is rough, but I've switched some products and methods and happy with the results so far with one serious exception, how much hair comes out during detangling?? Maybe I'm doing too much detangling, do you get your hair totally knot free? I'm also 9 months post partum so I know some of the hair loss is due to hormones but I don't know if I can take it!!
Love you videos! I have combination hair, some loose curls, some straighter parts. Can't wait to try this and see what I end up with. I've been flat ironing for too many years.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps their gel in the shower and applies it in the shower. It's the only way I've found to get lasting curls. I wish I could get away with the praying hands and scrunching. My hair is trained for rake and shake only. Maybe I'll give it another try. :/
Thank you soooo much for your videos Suzie!!! You are my favorite to watch for the CG method. I haven't started the CG method yet because i've been intimidated but I believe I have a very similar curl to my hair as yours and I think I'm ready to start the process now :) I'll let you know how it goes !
Thanks a lot for this, I get overwhelmed with products sometimes. I have a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind advising: 1. Would you recommend the gel (and gel cast) for Type B hair? My hair is fine and can easily curl or straighten, but I find it gets weighed down by heavy cream and while I have ok curls/waves at the tips, my roots are quite frizzy. 2. Why do you sometimes use a combo of gel and cream? What difference does this make? 3. I swim a lot... so I don't know if you have much experience of this in particular, but any tips for swimming and the CGM? Thanks!
You're awesome... Who would want to dislike your videos? 😍😍😍 Thank you for your videos. I'm still getting frizz with my mostly 2c waves I've been doing CG for one year now but the growth I've had is amazing!!
I loved loved loved the video, Suzie. Infact i came up with quick curly girl routine for myself and now it's been a month since I had been following it. It worked out great and I would be coming up with the video this coming Sunday. Keep up the great work.
Curly Susie it’s not 😩 I have shoulder length hair n curls that frizz but I’ve never really tried anything for it I’ve always pulled my hair up. I definitely want to try this. I’m thinking I need some kind of treatment to nourish some heat damage but I never know what to buy there’s so much out there.
I totally agree about the gel! Your video has been the most helpful and I'm REALLY loving my curls! I've been using deva curl products for a year and just haven't been that happy with them. This gel recommendation is the best ever and the affordability makes me love it all that much more. Thank you curly girl!
Have you ever tried a rice water hair treatment? It’s a protein treatment made with fermented rice water. There are lots of RUclips videos on it. I’ve just used it for the first time.
You mentioned either in this video in another one that you don't pull your hair back tightly to avoid damaging the curls. What about working out or other activities where you'd be moving around a lot and you need your hair to stay securely out of the way?

I just want to say Thank you! for your video. That gel is amazing, I love it! never thought it was going to be this great. I’ve followed your advice and I am very pleased with the results. My hair is low porosity and used a little less gel than you did and my hair is shiny, soft, natural looking curls. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your comment :) Makes me feel good to know that I helped you find something that works.
Do you use the gel by itself or with a leave-in conditioner?
Concepción Lara - I use kinky curl knot today leave in/detangler.
Thanks so much for your prompt response! Enjoy your curls!
I am just now learning about these methods and wish I had learned how to better deal with my head back in my 20's 30's or 40's but now at 50 at least I am going to love my hair again! Going to get products today after work and picking up my Curly Girl book from the library!

Those muscles though 😥
Jamz Squad Ikr and her baby is so cute!
Ikr 😍
Amazing😍 mine look like melted cheese😂
Ikr
It's all that scrunching XD
You are great , you have help me so much..... haha,I am a old grandmother but I like the long curls.
Didn’t have any idea how to get started. Precious baby.
I love that you leave with wet hair! I was starting to think I was the only one
You aren't alone lol...Who has time to wait until it dries??
Me, too!! I always leave with wet hair :)
No your not alone. I cant defuse it makes it frizzy and I have low porosity hair. I usually dont have 3 hour in between styling and leaving to wait for it to dry

This is the easiest tutorial with minimal products I have ever watched. Thank you!! I think i need to use more gel. Have you ever tried a curl enhancer? I love those. Loving your videos:)
Thank you!!! I do use curl enhancers/curl creams sometimes. But not every day. I like to keep my wash & go as inexpensive, simple/minimal as possible.
Finally a real confident woman. I really like your natural style. You don’t over do anything ... neither your hair nor your make up. Thumb up.
👏👏see girls you don’t need to over do to be stunning.

This has helped me so much with my hair that has flattened with me not taking care of it, you are a lifesaver.

Awesome!!! Put your hair in a loose bun on top of your head for sleep if you want to prevent tangles.
Curly Susie loose messy bun?! Or more of a loosely twisted bun?! Only asking because I've been looking for new Sleeping tricks to help my hair look its best. My hair seems to be too long to do the traditional Pineapple method. I still do it from time to time when I don't feel like using a scarf, but it doesn't seem to look as nice when I wake up.
Try a satin pillowcase.
Just started the curly girl method about a week ago! Your videos have really helped me start this method out. I'm still struggling with finding products that work for me, but I will get there!

For anyone in Australia, the “Juice” clear curl gel is like the one used in this video- leaves my curls soft and crunch free every time :-)
Juuce?
Susie, I'm shocked at the results you get with the inexpensive products that you use. Your hair looks shiny, bouncy and beautiful. Out with the "you get what you pay for" say. I'd say "spend less and get more and better results!" WOW! I'll definitely check out the gel you use. Thank you Susie!
Hi Elizabeth. I do not make ANY money on RUclips or for promoting products... & I swear I am obsessed with that gel 😍
I love how simple this routine is. I just started two weeks ago, I've been wearing my hair natural for about 15 years but was still using harsh shampoos and silicone conditioners and styling products to combat frizz and dullness.... now I know why it was wasn't working.

This was very helpful thank you! All my life I thought I had straight hair but then I started using sulphate free shampoos so I could grow it out long and I found out my hair was actually really wavy. I didn’t know how to properly take care of my new hairs texture. You helped me so much!
Thanks Aria 💕
I also wash my hair upside down throughout the shower and application of the gel. It encourages lift and doesn’t let the water flow continuously push it down and make it heavy
OMG! I did this today for the very first time and my hair looks AMAZING! I took me some time to embrace my curly hair (most of my life) and since then I've been looking for the Holy Grail of the curly hair, and I think I found it! Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed your self love in this video! Hearing yourself say you’re cute made me really happy!
Fkkk I watched almost 1000s of CGM Videos ... and almost tried different methods and ... things which also were taking a lot of my time doing hair... and Suddenly bumped into yours ... its took me 15-20m in total and your hair pin step and plopping literally defined my hair THANKS a lot darling
Your guns look killer
Haha thanks!
Hey a good tip of pining ur front bangs... I recently started curly girl method n its working nicely but my front hair r still not managable... I will defiantly try this pining process
Hi! If you don't like your hair pinned, check out my video on getting through the transition phase. I also used to cheat curls in the front lol
Curly Susie thanks susie....
This is the first time watching any of your videos, and I just loved you and your personality. I will try your method and love the fact that it is so simple!
Good vid Susie, the hair gel gave your curls some nice definition.
Thank you for another great video. I’ve watched this one three times. Very helpful. I’m glad us curly girls have come to the realization we don’t need to straighten our hair for it to be pretty. It is so great not needing to dry and straighten (and damage) our hair any more. Thanks for inspiring us and giving us so many great tips. My hair is slowly getting healthier and so much of the torn hair is growing in now. Thanks Susie.
I know this is an older video but I have to say Biotera and the Tresemme Condish she recommends Botanique Coconut & Aloe are da bomb! I've found drugstore products to be really really good! And Bioterra is affordable too! So glad I found you Susie! Thank you!!
Excuse me while I go put the giant tub of gel I just bought in my shower. I don't co-wash but this is the easiest routine I've found so far. I squished to condish, scrunched, and plopped the other night w/o gel and my curls came out but quickly turned into a frizzy lion's mane with the humidity here in South TX./México.
I’ve followed all your tips and my only problem with it is now I can’t stop looking in the mirror! I love it 😍
Thanks curly susie!!
Thank you for making this channel, I am a wavy hair mom myself and this process seems so much easier than others... definitely time to give it a try
Thank you SOOOOOO much!!! I've been looking for a technique to make my hair be not a ball of sad, frizzy waves for so long!! Both my father and sister have thick, beautiful big curls, but I inherited my mother's thinner hair, so I had no idea how to compensate for that. My hair was always like a 2a texture, but somedays it would be 2b/2c, and I had no clue how to get it to stay like that! I switched to all natural shampoo and conditioner and used your routine in the shower, and made a gel cast and oh my gosh!! It makes such a difference! My hair is shiny and my waves/curls form better and they stay in! I guess I was brushing it and towel drying it to death! I can't believe I've finally found a way to make my hair behave, thank you so much for this video!
Love your simplicity! Your hair looks amazing. I have been using a very loose thin plastic hair band to gently hold my wet hair back as i apply makeup etc. I can pull pieces gently forward so when it dries and I remove the hair band I get volume in the front, similar to your pins.
Your curls are perfect 😩 I feel like even if I do follow these steps, my hair will never turn out this way. I’ve tried plopping before and i just can’t seem to get the same results I see other people getting
I finally just used that Bioterra gel for the first time today. GAME CHANGER. You have been a super helpful guide through this CGM journey (since this past March for me), so thankful!!!
You are so cute. Thank you for helping me start my curly journey. Your videos are the best. Most relatable I’ve found so far. I keep coming back to ur videos. And I’ve rewatched a few over and over. Lol
Thank you does not feel adequate! I am overwhelmed by the process wavy almost curly girls have to go through to get some extra curl. My wavy hair will never look like yours but I am so excited to try this simple, affordable routine and see if it will work on my curl pattern! Thank you!!!
Yay!!! Try to stick with it for a few weeks 💕💕💕 your hair will keep getting better & healthier
Just want to say I'm a beginner. I have no idea what I'm doing. But your videos have been my go to! And i shared some with family. So thank you for these simple videos.
Well Hello Biceps! Appreciate the straight forward simplicity. Thanks 🙏🏻
You always make everything so easy to understand! I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you!!
You are too cool!! i love your videos, you get straight to the point and dont have fancy methods and lots of products😇
I’m new at CG and after I clarified and did a deep condition on my hair, I tried your simplified method with Suave Naturals conditioner and the Biotera Gel. It was the first time my hair looked good! Thank you so much for simplifying it in this video. By the way, I LOVE YOUR HAIR!
Thank you so much! I have been over-complicating my routine with too many products and too much fuss. Your video reminded me to keep it simple, so today I did, and had the bear hair I’ve had in a while! A great reminder that more is not always better 😊
Thank you so much for this! I've been watching tons of curly girl method videos, and yours has been the most helpful. Your hair is gorgeous!
This is amazing!! You have the most beautiful hair ever! I just started my curly girl journey and you are such an inspiration! Thank you for this!! ❤️
Thank you so much! It was awful before cgm, honestly.
Thank you for this.im embarrassed to say that I'm a lazy 35 yr old curly girl cause I always tie up my hair and relax it every two years.im gonna try this
I bought the Biotera gel and now I'm going to try it. I'm very excited, I'm gonna do your whole routine
I just wanted to say thank you for this video! I have been wanting to start the curly girl method for awhile now, but trying to find some simple and easy instruction on just the wash routine (specifically co-washing) has been nearly impossible. You make it so easy to understand! Now I actually feel excited to start this journey rather than overwhelmed, so thank you!
Thanks for this vid! I just started to do CGM for about 2-3 weeks now. Your vid helped me a lot esp you only used few products on your hair unlike the other bloggers.
Thank you for another great tutorial. You & your hair are beautiful and you are so funny!! I am a week into Co-Washing & I am already so happy with my hair.
Thank you for making this. I used your tips to start my curly journey. Also... your guns are awesome!
About to start the CGM and your videos have been the most helpful to figure out where to start and what steps to take every day.
Amazing routine. Simple and just two products! Will try it out! 😌 thanks a lot
How do you handle wet frizz
i am using the essence of argan oil for three months now and it works amazing for my hair ,hands and skin
Thank you very much, Susie! Sometimes I get in despair that my wavy hair will never be so good and healthy-looking as I'd wanted it to be, especially after all the damage I've put it through, but watching you, irradiating energy, recharges me with motivation and hope!
Im new at this and thank you thank you for this video! My hairdresser explained everything but I forgot half of it. Your video is really very clear. I'll keep it close by when I'm going to wash my hair. Really like it to that you come across very natural. Thanks! Irene.
Thank you Irene!! I’m not really a RUclipsr ... I’m actually a nurse & so I just try to be myself & show what I do.
Absolutely love your videos and how you have such a simple routine. My hair has thinned a lot on top and doesn't sit as nice as I'd like it too. I'm on day 13 of my CG journey. Still working on a style that's quick and looks good.
Thank you again for giving me more tips and believe me I need all the help I can get! I am only on my second week of the curly girl method. My sister got me started on it and actually I had never even thought about going curly, well maybe occasionally! I knew I had curly hair because I remember dreading humid days, and I live in south Texas which is known for it's humidity in the summer. I envied those with super straight hair that just dried that way and I had to really work at it. I used Dippity-Do to straighten my hair, along with huge curlers and taping my bangs to my forehead! Yes, and a couple days ago I ran across my old friend Dippity-Do!! Now used to help curl your hair and keep it curlier. I was shocked that it even still existed and I'm considering trying the spray leave-in but not sure I want that stiff feeling even though I am told I can scrunch it out! I can't believe there are so many products to choose from and it confuses me even more. I appreciate your videos so much because you seem to make it simpler and therefore easier for me. And your hair is so full of curls it's absolutely beautiful! I yearn for ringlets now when just several weeks ago I was blow drying and using my trusty little straightener to smooth it out even better. I quit coloring my hair about a year or so ago and now it's down past my shoulder blades. If you have any suggestions on how to best have layers cut I would really appreciate it because I think that would help! God bless and your little boy is adorable!!
I haven't started CG yet, I'm actually waiting for the right products to arrive, but I just wanted to say thank you. Your channel is so informative, I can't wait to see the results on my hair!
Just tried this for the first time! Curious to see the results! Thanks for the video!
You are such a beautiful soul and person. Your video is great. I did this the second time tonight.
Thank you!! Great video... Always wanted to learn how to get my hair to curl... I have very frizzy hair... I love the video... Trying your method...
Thank you for the gel tip..just starting my curly hair method..
Thanks for all the videos, so helpful! And you and the baby are just adorable! I love love love the gel, thanks for the tip!
Ordered the oil for my hair and for my skin, tried their free trial offer, I made sure to read how the trial promo works and was surprised of the regular price of the essence of argan but they offered me a very good deal for only $29.99 every month. Been 8months since I started using the oil and Im loving the result! Best result I've had compared to all skin care products used before!
Essence Of Argan Oil and Idrotherapy cream, just helps me a lot. The best skin care i ever had.
This was very helpful. Want to wear my curly hair but it's so damaged and frizzy. I'm going to schedule a cut and gloss, and keep trying this.
I love your hair it's absolutely beautiful. My daughter (4 years old) has curly hair and she's starting to lose some of her curl. (Like I did at her age) I'm hoping with the curly girl method we can get it back.
I just stumbled across you & your videos. I’m 41 years old & never knew there was a method. I finally gave up shampooing everyday about two years ago & it has helped so much, but I’ve been researching more to get more curl out of my hair. One thing I’ve been super surprised by you & other curly girls mentioning is the use of nonsalon products. I’ve always been told to use salon products because they’re so much better. I’m assuming this is true for color which I do also. I recently got the bioterra gel from Sally’s you use, and it’s been a life changer.
This is so helpful!! I’m the only curly girl in my family so I’ve never had much instruction on how to make it look nice! I’ve been fuzzy/frizzy headed too long!!! Excited to start!
THANK YOU SUSIE!
I just found your channel and your videos have made me so excited and motivated to start the curly girl method!!!
I have never commented on anything but you are my very favorite and have made the process of restoring my curls seem somewhat possible, so thank you! I'm not fully committed yet because I'm in a wedding at the end of the month and know the beginning is rough, but I've switched some products and methods and happy with the results so far with one serious exception, how much hair comes out during detangling?? Maybe I'm doing too much detangling, do you get your hair totally knot free? I'm also 9 months post partum so I know some of the hair loss is due to hormones but I don't know if I can take it!!
Love you videos! I have combination hair, some loose curls, some straighter parts. Can't wait to try this and see what I end up with. I've been flat ironing for too many years.
Love your attitude! Thanks so much! I like the results
This is the best!!!!!! As I have low budget, this gives me hope!!!! Thanks you so much!!!! Literally lifesaving(or hairsaving in this case)tips!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps their gel in the shower and applies it in the shower. It's the only way I've found to get lasting curls. I wish I could get away with the praying hands and scrunching. My hair is trained for rake and shake only. Maybe I'll give it another try. :/
i can't decide if i'm more envious of your hair, your biceps, or your baby.
Thank you soooo much for your videos Suzie!!! You are my favorite to watch for the CG method. I haven't started the CG method yet because i've been intimidated but I believe I have a very similar curl to my hair as yours and I think I'm ready to start the process now :) I'll let you know how it goes !
Thanks a lot for this, I get overwhelmed with products sometimes. I have a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind advising:
1. Would you recommend the gel (and gel cast) for Type B hair? My hair is fine and can easily curl or straighten, but I find it gets weighed down by heavy cream and while I have ok curls/waves at the tips, my roots are quite frizzy.
2. Why do you sometimes use a combo of gel and cream? What difference does this make?
3. I swim a lot... so I don't know if you have much experience of this in particular, but any tips for swimming and the CGM?
Thanks!
You're awesome... Who would want to dislike your videos? 😍😍😍 Thank you for your videos. I'm still getting frizz with my mostly 2c waves I've been doing CG for one year now but the growth I've had is amazing!!
Great video, I think you could do a arm workout routine video too. Hair & arms are on point!
You're absolutely adorable, total #hairgoals! Thank you for this video I'm in my first week and a bit overwhelmed. This really simplified it for me!!
Thanks for info! I've just started my journey towards curly girl hair!! As an older lady to boot! Wish I'd met you sooner!
2 products step and very easy to understand for beginners! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!!!!
I loved loved loved the video, Suzie. Infact i came up with quick curly girl routine for myself and now it's been a month since I had been following it. It worked out great and I would be coming up with the video this coming Sunday. Keep up the great work.
I’m drooling over your curls. I think I’ve found my new idol!! 😄
Thanks Jill!! How’s your curly hair journey going??
Curly Susie it’s not 😩 I have shoulder length hair n curls that frizz but I’ve never really tried anything for it I’ve always pulled my hair up. I definitely want to try this. I’m thinking I need some kind of treatment to nourish some heat damage but I never know what to buy there’s so much out there.
I’d start with inexpensive stuff that is silicone & sulphate free. Which country are you in??
Curly Susie I’m in the U.S. thx for the info!
I totally agree about the gel! Your video has been the most helpful and I'm REALLY loving my curls! I've been using deva curl products for a year and just haven't been that happy with them. This gel recommendation is the best ever and the affordability makes me love it all that much more. Thank you curly girl!
I’m so so glad you love it!!
Deva curl used to be so much better. I had to ditch it after they changed formula.
Have you ever tried a rice water hair treatment? It’s a protein treatment made with fermented rice water. There are lots of RUclips videos on it. I’ve just used it for the first time.
you're literally so pretty!!!
You mentioned either in this video in another one that you don't pull your hair back tightly to avoid damaging the curls. What about working out or other activities where you'd be moving around a lot and you need your hair to stay securely out of the way?
My hair's curly and I tend to have dandruff when I don't shampoo 😓 the struggle is real tho
Your hair is goals omg I NEED your curls mine are not like that
