I am way too invested in this hair journey
Same
😬😜
Me too
Yea me too
Girl samee
our hair isn't naturally curly or straight. its naturally confused.
🤣🤣
This made me laugh so hard, thank you 😂
@@livelybeings6142 but so true.
so true.
Don't make this kind of thing into a joke.
Girl having wavy hair is a struggle because we are such inbetweeners. Sometimes our hair seems straight. Sometimes curly. For the longest time I thought I had straight hair and I’d tell people “it’s curly when it’s wet though”. Little did I know. I tried the curly girl method which worked for a bit but realised it was making me obsessed with having bouncier curls which made me hate my hair when it was completely natural with no products in. Now I’ve decided to embrace my wavy hair so my hair goals are more to do with growing out my hair, hydrating and getting rid of frizz rather than curl definition so I deep condition once a week and it’s actually helped so much. I think a lot of wavy haired girls need to hear this because we often either strive for that perfect curl or pin straight hair. Our waves are beautiful.
Samirah Aww tysm for this. I honestly hate my hair because it’s not perfectly straight with zero frizz. But there are no beautiful big bouncy curls either. Just a few waves here and there and so much frizz. And I feel like there really aren’t enough resources online for this hair type.
THIS. I've always either straightened my wavy hair or tried to maximize the curliness. But really, my hair looks the best when it's quite long and the waves get nice and loose and way less messy.
I agree thank you for your comment I also struggle with this too and I feel better knowing others are going through the same hair journey 😔
I feel this on a very deep level. Thank you
Thank you for this comment. It's really assuring to know others have the same hair struggles when it feels like everyone around you has hair that's way easier to handle hahaha. I was wondering, what length do you guys think look best for people with our hair type? My hair is around shoulder length now and it's just one big frizzy mess 😅
First person on yt who seems to have the same hairtype as myself, FINALLY!
natasha romanoff undetermined and changeable every day
I have similar hair too!
Except mine is more curl than wavy with some small waves and random splotches of straight hair.
Same I’ve been looking for her for so long. 😭😭
2a 😁 legit just now finding out I don't have straight hair
Same for me
Gurl that’s just the deal with having naturally wavy hair. Some days u have beautiful waves and a few curls and others its just awkward, straight and frizzy🤷🏻♀️
Hey!,did she ever tryied coconut oil? '-'
@@viih0408 I'm not OP but I'm pretty sure she said her hair doesn't like coconut oil- You should watch the series from the first video to now, it's a very good series!
Coconut oil is the worst oil. I'd use anything but that. It doesn't soak into your hair just sits on it and it's hard to rinse it out
Coconut oil doesn't suit most types of hair. It is most beneficial for low porosity hair and sometimes average porosity
Mirana Noooo what? The opposite. If hair is low porosity coconut oil just sits there and doesn’t provide any benefit. If the hair is high porosity then coconut oil can at least go into the cuticle. Search up low porosity hair oils, coconut oil is rarely mentioned.
I was born with ringlets.
Which turned into pin straight hair.
Then it got curly ( tho not as much as before ) and frizzy
Now it’s wavy
What a journey
Good luck XD
Same here
Ummm why did we have the same journey if I’ve ever related to anything it’s this I was born with ringlets as a little kid I had banana curls just toward the end In middle school it was puffy then straight then I’d add mousse and it would be curly then in my early 20’s it seems to completely straighten out without heat and now that I’m almost 30 it’s wavy
That you had said is my nightmare, to wake up one day without my curls, I have big long curls and I has been a lot of work since the adolescence because I like curls with almost no products in it and it was really dry and breaked, because my family has no curls and also the trend in that moment was to have straight or iron straighted hair. Also is a theme that the most of stylist do not have knownledge about kinds of curly hair and make dissasters with the haircuts. I hope everyone learn to know their hair and enjoy it, every different day.
Same ❤️
Is noone gonna talk about how great her makeup is 🤷♀️💄
She's so good (it's no one btw :)
aw thank you, i wasn't to sure about it! xx
@@IsabellaDemarko you could pull off any makeup look 💄 you should do more orange eye makeup looks
Btw love you, ive watched all your hair 'journey' videos.🧡💜🧡 and i think your hair looks better everytime you do a new hair 'journey' video 🧡💜
Isabella Demarko can you do a tutorial on the eye make up? Make up noob here
She should do a makeup tutorial. I love how she applies her lipstick. It's slightly over lined I think but pretty
Honestly, no matter if it's wavy or curly or maybe not so satisfying sometimes, the condition and your hair in general improved a whole lot! It looks healthy so I guess that's a huge achievement
Why is ur voice sooo amazing and calming like damnnn girlll
I know right!!!
Oh in the rice water video. I was melting there
@@aileenesmail sameeee
THATS SO TRUE
if your hair was naturally straight it wouldn’t curl or wave when its dry/damaged. that’s not how straight hair works. your hair is able to wave/curl bc that’s the pattern it’s meant to have.
Nicole A THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, straight hair cannot curl, unless it’s naturally curly or wavy, it may just look kinda straight without any product on it, but if it’s not straight without anything on it, THAN ITS CLEARLY NOT STRAIGHT 😂🤦🏽♀️
Beatriz Cutrim Exactly!!
Every 7 year our hair changes :) in my family our hair gets curlier with age. But ofc our hair is very curly 😂👐🏼 from v curly to kinky curly and fros.
Some of my friends have kinda straight hair but it usually waves when we go to the beach or when it’s humid outside. But that doesn’t happen to me. My hair never waves because it’s actually straight (I believe).
I don’t understand this, so my hair seems extremely straight but it is dry but it’s also like really maluable so if I do ANYTHING with it it’ll just take that shape (brushing=straight, twisting=soft curls, scrunching=natural looking curls sorta) so like I can’t tell if you’re right and it curls because I have “dormant” curls or if it curls because it kind of just does whatever I want it to do usually anyways....
I low key am jealous of her commitment and I really hope this will turn out for her.
Thanks for the likes guys
You know what, when I first came across your hair journey I was like “someone needs to relax” but now I’m so invested in this journey
Same
no matter how your hair looks, in my opinion you’re gorgeous anyways
Absolutely
Lolipop 14 you are so correct
aw thats so sweet thak you!
Yes exactly
Some things that have helped me:
-I use a sulfate shampoo once a month to get out gel or any remaining gunk out of my hair.
-scrunching is okay as long as your hair is SOAKING WET. it's super important. If it is partially wet it will frizz.
-once I scrunch I use a spray bottle to rewet my hair and leave it alone.
Xsome things you should try!X
-try not using gel. Just wash your hair and see what happens.
-try the opposite routine where you put conditioner first then shampoo it out. (Gentle) (this gives you more volume and helps hair not get overloaded.
-try a different shampoo and conditioner! Maybe these aren't the right ones for you. Shea moisture has amazing ones!
if your hair is actually curly you dont need to use sulfate to get rid of gunk, or only scrunch when wet. people with actual curls need gel, they need conditioner second. Shea moisture will leave residue in your hair if you have STRAIGHT OR WAVY HAIR, it is meant for curly hair.
how do i get the waves to stay put without gel if thats too heavy? they lose all their curl if i just let it air dry without anything
I have never been this interested in my own hair let alone anyone elses
that's why this series is to educate people who are interested in hair :)
Same! I'm invested!
I washed, blow dried, and straightened my slightly wavy hair everyday for 10 years. I never knew about type 2 hair until I found your channel. I've been consistent with the CGM since February 1st this year. My hair has definitely improved, but it is a struggle. Best of luck on your healthy hair journey!
I hate when people get mad because other people say curls instead of waves
Ya its not completely accurate but wave IS a type of curl. People with coily hair dont get mad when someone says their hair is curly. I feel like people hate it because they hate hair that is a straighter texture because they've had a traumatizing experience straightening hair. No hair is special curly wavy coily dead straight they are all just hair and they are equally beautifull.
Yessir
I think those people believe a curl *has* to be a spiral/corkscrew shape when a wave is indeed considered a type of curl as well. If you look up the definition of "curl" it literally means a *curved* or spiral shape, and a wave is curved hair. Hence why it's a type of curl.
So true! Those people are hella annoying 😣
Like mind you own buisness, girl can call her hair whatever she wantss
Because it’s straight up not true. If your hair goes side side, even if it becomes a ringlet at the end, you have wavy hair. A curl is a ringlet. I don’t get why wavy haired people are desperate to call their hair curly.
In brazil a lot (most women) have curly hair, and our “curly girl method” (there are many methods of course) is usually using only leave in conditioner or mix ut with hair gel or jelly. We use a LOT of leave in on our hair, especially frizzy hair. The leave in (for me) works better than gel and mouse etc because it holds all the frizz and helps your curls. Our hair products are very very curly hair friendly and always help with the curl pattern. Maybe look up some brazilian hair leave in!
I wouldn’t recommend getting layers with your hair type, it may make your hair look thinner
I agree
I think so layers will look great, u went through the same process as her, mom had straight hair and I did too for a while then this, I got layers in December and it looks lovely, I don't have to style my hair as much, but yes my hair are longer than hers so maybe
I have really thin hair, layers make it look thicker, because it adds movement and takes away weight
I think it depends on the type of layers. A good stylist can add layers to thin hair that give it more body.
i agree, if i do i'll get really long ones though x
babe, your hair is absolutely gorgeous! the color, the loose waves, everything! hope you actually get to a point where you are %100 happy with your hair
The CGM is only a guideline, our hair is personal to us! So pick what works for you and have fun with it, non of us have the same hair which is what makes it so wonderful!❤
I'm silently following you since the start of your journey and giiiirl! Your hair has improved A LOT!!
About the layered haircut, I had your same experience. I hated it because I was too lazy to style it correctly, but when I started having curls I asked my hairdresser what kind of haircut would be better and I did it (although I reeeeeally didn't want to, I hated it so bad lol).
The results were amazing! The thing is, the hair on top weights on the hair below (I don't know if I've explained well) and that's why the curls don't come out as bouncy as they would. Now my hair are soooo curly and I love them!💕
Do the layers they're game changers!!
People tend to see the most difference in their hair with cgm after 8 months to a year I would say, so I think you should keep at it! I think your wavy hair really suits you anyways
You need use the products in this sequence to work: SHAMPOO->MASK->CONDITIONER
👍🏻
i didn't know that thanks!
yassss preach It!
How come?
Every time you wash your hair?
@@nicola_rosee it's proven that conditioner actually closes the follicle so using conditioner after a hair mask and rinsing it out with cold water will make the hair less frizzy
Your hair has improved sooo much over time and I’m so glad you’ve found products and regimens that work for you and that you’re growing to love your hair! ❤️ it looks beautiful!
thank you!
Isabella Demarko no problem ❤️ also, have you thought about trying a wet wrap on your hair to get heatless straightening? (I believe you have tried on dry hair, but I’m not quite sure about wet hair) that could possibly be an easier way to transition from the curly girl method back to your regular straight hair without using heat tools!
I recommend using argan oil for the frizz! I have dry hair as well and my hair will sometimes end up frizzy, but a few drops of argan oil makes it shiny and less frizzy. You can add it on when its dry and you're in a hurry. This is a super light oil, so it doesn't leave my hair feeling oily unless I just use too much. Your hair is looking amazing!
The CGM does not work for everyones hair The first 3 months are the beginning of the journey so I recommend using the CGM for as long as you sort your hair's needs and after that the CGM needs some altering imo
Completely agree
Since my hair has semi-permanent hair dye, this would make my journey take longer to see results, is that right? People say to just do a big chop to cut the damaged/dyed part, but I'm afraid I'll end up not seeing any difference still.
@@NaomiTCOOKIES yes, your journey will take longer. You will need to grow your hair out and get regular haircuts. There's no need for a big chop if you take very good care of it 😇
Her hair stories made me realize I actually have wavy hair, not straight frizzy hair! I just started looking for the right products and my hair already feels better! But man, having textured hair is really confusing y’all 😂
Same!! I just realised I have wavy hair like a month ago and I was so shocked!
Your hair already looks healthier since the beginning of this journey, which in my opinion is fantastic 💛
You are absolutely right about oil sealing the moisture in. If you don't add nourishing conditioner after the moisturising mask for example it may cause frizz. A lot of frizz.
In polish hair care community we say you need balance of hydration and protein and seal everything with nutrition (masks or conditioners) after the initial mask.
I don't blame you if you dont get what I was trying to say 😅 Im happy to explain it again if someone is interested
Should we use oils to seal immediately after using a hydrating mask or wait for some time?
I'd really recommend switching to a different gel. My hair looked like yours when I first started the curly girl method and I found that the curl jelly made my hair look awful and feel really dry, but flaxseed gel works really well for me
chocolatecoatedllama yes DIY flaxseed gel!!!
Lyndsay Raine how do you make it yourself? All the gels in my city are for men and smell putrid
Charlotte Perry you can just search up a diy recipe. It was original coined and popularized by this RUclipsd: naptural and I would recommend her video!!
I am loving watching your journey! I think your hair looks so much better, I don't care about the waves but the shine is already amazing! And I really love how every month is full of new discoveries, i believe the curly girl method should not be strictly what the book says but a journey to understand our own hair and treating it like it deserves and you are doing it! 😍
I just think that your hair has a 2A wave which is the closer to straight hair! You’re taking great care of your waves so I think that they can only get better and better!
I think she's 2B but her hair is so fine that looks like 2A
Anahí I. Na I have fine 2b parts in my hair and it’s wavier then hers. She def. 2a which is actually one of my favorite hair types. It’s so versatile!
Thanks for sharing your journey, I'm a true curly girl myself but have been going in the opposite direction as you have, with my once thick, luxurious curls thinning considerably over the past couple of years and starting to become more wavy than ringlets, which has made me so sad. Also lots of breakage and frizz. I definitely understand feeling just defeated and miserable like you have, my hair used to be my pride and joy and the main thing that made me feel pretty, and now looking at it just makes me want to cry sometimes. I'm only turning 26 next month, it seems to maybe be due to several chronic conditions I have, but I'm hoping maybe something you have tried will help me! Lots of love and luck to you on your hair journey!
I feel your trying to achieve the imposible, of course some days you’re gonna have frizzy hair and some products won’t work for you, your hair is so pretty like that
i'm not trying to achieve the impossible at all! of course my hair can become more healthy!
Her hair wasn’t like that before
It isn't impossible tho, it's just that the type of wavy hair she haves is hard to understand.
I have the same hair,but mines thicker I think,it looks like her hair is fine but I'm not sure.
I agreee
@@izcrem I think she mentioned before that it's fine and dry??
Layers completely changed my hair game! I had pretty much the same haircut as you have right now but adding layers added so much more curl and dimension to my peviously just slightly wavy hair. You should definitely try it out maybe just with light layers for the start.
Omg it looked so pretty after the avocado/castor oil!
mili rivero I know right
i love how patient she is with her hair and also how productive she is like the way she organized the information in this vid, i could never i would’ve given up so easily
DON'T GET LAYERS pleaaaase your hair will just look thin again, after all the work you put in to make your ends look healthier :'( I did it and regretted so bad
Eva Labbé mine looks thicker after I got layers
You can grow it out or cut it a bob
@ cutting a bob... The girl wants waist length hair 😂
In order to get the layers out. I had layers and hated it. I decided to cut it off
l i l y It depends on the hair. Mine is thick, and straight (2A), and layers look great on me. But! Different types of hair gives different results.
Your hair looks so so pretty and healthy, the big chop and the curly method definitely worked for you. Also, your hair color is PERFECT!
Isabella, I think it’s a great idea to go to a person who knows how to cut curly hair. They’ll tell you what’s best for you and your hair type! The results are always amazing no matter the hair type.
I think so too, she should maybe talk to the person about her concerns (like how long she wants to be curly, etc.) and the can tell her what's possible and what isn't
If she goes to someone who specializes in cutting curly hair, they might not know how to cut her hair since it isnt curly, just like if someone with curly hair went to someone who specializes in straight/wavy hair. I find that most hair stylists specialize in cutting straight/wavy hair and dont know how to cut curly hair but that just depends on where you live and what's the most common hair type in your area
@@zoesee9109 I can guarantee most stylists don't do very wavy hair well either, I've had enough triangle hair head in my life to know that very wavy hair needs to be treated like curls too, having s shaped tight waves or c shaped ringlet curls doesn't change the fact that anything beyond straight or naturally tameable gently waved hair needs to be cut or processed protectively
The beginning of the journey is the hardest. But once we start seeing a difference it gets easier ❤️
Well I think your hair has really improved x
You haven't even finished the video
hi!
Although I’ve always had straight hair I thought I’d give the curly girl method a go because I’ve seen a lot of videos “I didn’t know my hair was curly”. It obviously didn’t make my hair curly but it improved their health and now the look better than before. I think that most of the curly girl method can be applied to almost every type of hair; it’s just being more gentle with it. I don’t use any gel but I’ve kept drying my hair in a T-shirt and washing them upside down. I keep using a satin pillowcase and apply oil flipping my hair and scrunching it in.
I think hat your hair looks better than before you started the curly girl method and although your hair might not be curly a “simplified” curly girl method could be perfect for you.
Looking forward to follow your hair journey. 🌸
Never clicked faster on a notification
yessss x
I agree
I started my hair journey a few days after your first curly girl video and I think my hair is really improving and curling. I knew I had curly hair but hadn't really taken care of it enough, despite not using heat. I hated my hair and your video really helped me to actually start working on my hair rather than just complaining about it, so thank you!!! xxx
You should check out Swavy Curly Courtney! She helps me A LOT about the curly girl method for wavy/curly hair. I hope this will be helpful for you. Have a great hair day!
Yuei _ she’s my absolute favorite
@@adeca5052 glad to know that she helps you a lot as well!
Do you have any favorite products? I’m thinking about buying the Giovanni gel that she uses hahaha. My diffuser is coming in today! So excited @yuei_
Yes same she's great I use her all the time!
@@adeca5052 I bought the Giovanni leave in conditioner she recommended but I haven't tried it yet
I say this lovingly... I want to stop watching these updates, but I JUST CAN’T STOP!!!
your videos are genuinely my favourite on this platform and I absolutely LOVE your editing style. keep going girl💖
thank you that means a lot! x
Girl your hair problems are exactly the same as mine and your routine is too..like the scrunching, the half curly half straight hair and it’s just tiring like you don’t really know what your hair really needs and what it gets damaged of😭😢BTW I have been following your journey since the start and lemme say that your determination amazes me💕
I was WAITING for this video , highlight of quarantine ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's somewhat normal for hair to transition throughout life! I was born with stick straight hair, and throughout puberty it got poofier and then wavier and now it's full on curly, like actually curly. It changed the most right before puberty.
It blows my mind how much you are caring for your hair
I could nevaarrrr
You do you gurl
determination
i love ur 2a waves, they are really beautiful :) i just started my hair journey as well bc my hair is quite frizzy and dry and i also now recognised and embraced my naturally wavy hair (about 2a like urs) can’t wait to see where it goes
NEVER clicked on a video so fast. I've been waiting for thiss
My hair is barely wavy, I have to scrunch forever to get waves, and some curls. After my first day, I either “dry refresh” with a foam, or a smidge if Boucleme gel diluted with water and air dry for beachy waves. If you go for layers, ask the stylist to put “hidden layers” in your hair, and also to cut in a way that the layers will look good wavy or straight-if they don’t know how, go to someone else. Hope this helps!!
Try using all natural aloe from a plant because alot of the bottles of "pure aloe" have alcohol in them to keep it fresh so that might of contributed to the problem in the mask? Try the oil in replacemebt of the aloe
And some people's hair actually doesn't like aloe. I know it seems weird because it does work for alot of people, but everybody's hair is different.
@@SULDLife yea my hair is that way it defined it in some parts but in other parts it made it so frizzy I was like but??!!!
@@intoxicatedrainbow5645 my hair is like that too sometimes! I think it has to do with different parts of my hair have different porosity. 🤷♀️
Oil is not the replacement for aloe - the aloe gel is a humectant which hydrates your hair, whereas oli is an emolient which keeps the moisture in your hair, it closes the hair cuticles. Also, this is why putting oil over the mask worked wonders for her! If you put only humectants on your hair, it may look dry/frizzy.
Aloe always really dried my hair out, but I found out recently I’m allergic to it so I’m not sure if it’s my hair type or that haha
I read somewhere that hair structure changes every 7 years. It is true actually for me because I had different hair when I was a child, teenager and adult.
THIS VIDEOS ARE WHAT I’M LIVING FORRRRR
For a month, I apply a plain yogurt on my hair, one shampoo per week, so 4 yogurts in a month. My hair had never been that shiny glossy and soft. If you want to try this, apply a full plain yogurt, wear a cellophane cap, wait 30 to 1hour, and rince. Plain Yogurt is really good for dry hair like mine, it is full of water so the moisture is optimal. I highly recommend it for dry hair that barely support oil. I have had dry hair since 2015, and I think I have found the magic recipe for my hair
ive heard lots about it and its on my list ;;) x
How many times do you apply the mask? And do you always rinse with a shampoo?
Maryam Mousa i think it is mentioned already. washes her hair once a week. 4 yogurt mask a month. so pretty much means she applies the yogurt mask once every week then wash it with shampoo.
@@chika_333 oh I didnt see the 4 times a month i though it was 4 times a week! Lmao my bad.
@@maryammousa1983 hahaha don't worry 😂
Your hair really improved! It looks really shiny and a bit fuller☺️ I didn't imagine your hair to improve like this as you already tried sm xd
Hey Isabella! I love your videos so much! They are so in Depth and informative! You’re personality is amazing too! You have amazing videos! ❤️❤️
thank you!! xxx
I do believe there's not much to do to improved the already damaged hair. Take nails for example, if u wanna grow them long you need to keep them protected and everything. But once there's idk a choc, or little issues at the ends, all u can do is cut it or cover it up. That's how hair works. I have to take care of the neW growth In a consistent way. And make sure they come out healthy by taking care of anything that u lack From withing (protein, Iron and such). Then taking care of those healthy roots toll they all out and till the end. Lengths are as they are. There's no reconstructing or anything.
I 100% agree, but i don't think it's necessarily the case for Isabella. She has already chopped off all the dead length, so now her hair looks pretty healthy. By reconstructing she meant deeply moisturize it or treat it with protein.
You're makeup and outfit is so pretty btw
Helloo! Since i watched ur 5 year hair journey. I have started to take care of my hair and now it is significantly better than what it used before.. So thank you!
Your hair is looking beautiful tbh. I’ve always been thinking you haven’t used enough gel. Do you get a cast when it’s dry that you need to scrunch out? I have similar hair to yours and the cast is the key.
Also, I think you do have wavy hair but because it’s so dry the curls are falling out. I’d recommend trying Marc Daniels clear henna deep conditioner. I’ve seen so many people get absolutely amazing results after using it. It’s extremely moisturising.
The other product is orange marmalade gel (that’s a brand, don’t use what’s in your pantry). Or you could make your own flaxseed gel which is similar to orang marmalade. This product is actually so moisturising for me I need to use a protein leave in with it.
I think it’s probably time you try new products to see if you get better results. Good luck!
Ooo, thanks for these!
Personally, I have layers and I think it looks so good with my naturally wavy hair. If your hair is thin though, I am not quite sure if it will look the same.
Yeah bro layers are the way to go
Hiiii Hows quarantine also you inspired me to take care of my hair. Stay safe 💕💕
Andrea Dimaculangan check out organicallyanna for real info
Try mixing a little bit of conditioner in the water you spray on your hair!
Another tip: try finger coiling! There’s lots of videos that explain this technique very well.
I totally relate and have had a really similar hair journey as you, with countless attempts to my dream hair. Since I had platinum blonde hair I’ve been on the journey to repair so that I can colour it without total damage. My hair is finally long AND full! I can definitely say that when your hair is healthy it will definitely become straight. Not only does healthy hair weigh more but less breakage means more hair weighing out curls. I know when I’m doing a good job at caring for my hair when holding the ends is full and even and no straggly bits. Also on the layers, I suggest not at the moment! Especially if healthy hair is the goal, layers can make it difficult to care for and also thinner and therefore more susceptible to damage. The only other thing besides a number of products I can tell you I swear by is sleeping with my hair in a single braid (it’s great you have a silk pillow case) but a firm braid will help reduce strain on individual strands while you sleep. I religiously braid my hair before bed! Hope any of this helps :)
You look like kate winslet
Domi ikr
Mahi Singhvi yeah a little, Kate has shorter hair
Omg she does!!!
Your hair looks so much thicker and healthier already! Looking good girl 👌🏽
Thank you so, soo much for these informative videos and thank you for all the time that you spend researching before you present us with some new routines. I have also been struggling with my hair and frizziness so I was really glad when I found someone sharing their struggles and "obsession" over their hair. I'm still using the vinegar rinse which makes my hair times better and I am planning to try the rice water and aritha powder. Your hair looks so much healthier and you are gorgeous! xxx
Our hair journey is so similar! A few years ago my hair started to have that weird texture/wave to my hair when I always had pretty straight/smooth hair. Our curl pattern and such is similar, too. It looks like our hair reacts similarly to things like rewetting and scrunching and losing shape after sleeping. I will definitely keep watching to see what happens with your hair to try for myself!
For adding moisture into hair I find that leave in conditioner is really important.
So I’ve tried my own lil “curly” method that worked for my wavy hair and I love the results so far. Frizz is down and it’s less tangly! I stopped brushing my hair, I hand comb and wide tooth comb it in the shower while it’s conditioning. I scrunch curl defining cream into my hair while it’s damp. That’s it! I also put it in pig tails at night to avoid it tangling but I feel like I need a better method since it still manages to tangled a bit. My curls are slowly forming on their own over the last month, i forget the cream some days and my hairs still defined in curls. It’s more of a “just took out a French braid” curl pattern rather than beach waves, which I’m really happy about! Gel was a no for me personally I hated the way it made my waves look.
Neko Angel, have you tried a “pineapple” for your hair for sleep? It is a loose bun on top of your head, google it to find instructions. (Mine is not long enough for one yet.)
Your hair is naturally wavy and very beautiful. I could imagine daily scrunching getting old quickly. It seems to be growing healthily though so I would just keep doing what you're doing until you reach your goal length and no layers and let your bangs grow out.If you keep up the pace of 0.5" per month you could be at your goal length in a year or so.
My hair is similar length and also wavy/thin! I try to avoid cutting layers because the ends get really thin and I end up trimming them off and starting the cycle all over again!
You are totally right about the layers! I regretted them immediately and haven’t gotten them again since. I understand and can relate to your idea of why to get them but for sure go with your gut. Better to stay without them !
Your hair looks amazing!
her hair grown so much omg😍
I mix yogurt and honey and apply it to my extremely dry hair. it makes wonders! it certainly hydrates my hair but I still has frizz because my hair is extremely dry but yours is in a way better condition I think yogurt&honey may help
Hi! I’ve been watching your hair journey videos and I’ve noticed something that a lot of people go through (including myself): you expect too much from your hair.
I just want to make sure you remember that your hair will not be exactly the same all the time! The weather, your eating habits, the time you invest in your hair and countless other things interfere on how it looks!
It’s good you are trying to make it healthier and stronger, but know that healthy hair does not mean “hair that looks exactly how I like it all the time”!
I hope you feel good about your hair and feel happy to see it getting healthier. Just don’t put so much expectation over it that you end up frustrated!
if your hair is anything like mine, the dryer it is, the straighter and weirder (it gets like, straight it one curl on the end) it gets. but the more moisturized, the more curly/wavy it gets
what you did with the mask and oil have sense :) you did moisturise your hair with the mask and then "close" it in the hair by using oil, which is an emollient, which kinds of "surrounds the hair". I can recommend to leave the mask for about 30min, then the oil for another 30min. It will let the moisturiser and oil do the job. you can also use other moisturises, like water with sugar, just aloe vera or bamboo gel, etc. can't wait for another video! XX
I feel like she would benefit from protective hairstyles when she’s annoyed with her hair. Like a cute little side braid.
BlackLightAura I love Dutch braids when I am having a bad hair day. I feel like it smooths it out.
You can scrunch your hair with microfiber towel instead of your hand. It helps me with frizz when restyling.
Well here’s son advice I learned along the way of my hair journey:
1. Silke wraps and honey as a conditioner is a must.
2. Silicone is really bad and your hair breaks when you stop using it
3. Don’t do the brandy egg mask! The cognac is really bad for your hair
Silicones aren't that bad. They just form a layer on your hair, making it harder for moisture and other products to get absorbed in your hair. If you clarify enough (=washing with a strong shampoo), you're fine. It won't make your hair break off, lmao. 😂
TheLadyPlantagenet how do you use honey as a hair conditioner
@@marevannierop in a way your right, the silicones prevent moisture etc to get in your hair. And with a sulfate shampoo (it needs sulfates to get rid of silicones) u can get it away. BUT sulfates a really harsh and dehydrating. So after that u need to put way more good stuf in your hair. But when u use silicones after shampooing these wont get in the Hair due to the silicones. And this cycle is really really bad for your hair and makes your hair very brittly and can cause it to break.
UnaveganainTicino honey is much more than that and very nourishing for hair
@UnaveganainTicino sugar is a humectant
It’s cool to see you not give up on your dream. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I Know theres like thousands of comments here, but I recommend Watching, Manes By Mel (youtuber) she is a profesional stylist and actually teaches you everything u need to know about curly hair. She has taught me everything I know and she realllllly helped. Even if we dont have the same curl type.
Manes by Mell doesn't use the curly girl method.
I think swavy curly Courtenay is excellent.
@@shoshanafox727 Oh yeah ill check her out. But Mel says its a good start but after a while you should look for what really works for your hair
I shaved most of my hair about 6 years ago. All the hair that was shaved has grown back to my natural hair curl pattern. Still working on the top 1/3rd of my hair. Ive been binge watching videos to find the best techniques and products. I love your curly journey. And yes layers are great for wavy/curly hair. ♡♡♡
Ooh wow im actually early!! 😁 i think your hair has been looking a lot better ever since you cut it shorter. It's jsut a lot thicker, shinier and just generally healthier looking. I personally think that the tiny waves here and there look really cute on you.
Also your tresses have really grown a lot! And they look quite a bit shinier
Edit: i suggest you do not get layers. I might be biased here because j just hate layered haircuts in general, but i personally think that your hair might be a lil too thin for layers to look "right" with it :( you could maybe get very long, angular layers that frame your face and maybe thin out the ends a little by adding even more long layers (if that eve makes any sense), but like... i dony really suggest getting an haircut that is layered all around. It would look rather messy 🙁
But of course this is just my opinion!! If you want layers go ahead and get them in any form you want!! Im pretty sure you could pull them off and they would add to your 90s persona a little bit 😁😁
I binged this journey like a netflix show and is one of my best pastimes during quarantine, I got sad, got mad as a fellow curly girl, got desperate, got hopeful and so many emotions. Also, I love seeing you falling in love and learning to love your hair.
A note: I remember not liking my curls because of how unpredictable they can be, they can flatten. dry out or frizz crazily, because so many factors, not only because I didn't take care of them. Eventually, you find a way that is not that consuming and that the "imperfections" are between healthy boundaries and I love it, even when it flattens out.
I found someone who has my weird wavy but not wavy hair. Please continue this series!
Also...I am sorry if this is a touchy subject, but noticed you are also missing your eye teeth...so am I. 😊 (I went through years of hating my smile). And you are gorgeous
layered hair cuts truly changed my life! my curls were revived fr i recommend 10/10
I m a wavy girl too and there are some things that I’ve noticed differentiate us from curly haired people. We can’t use the same gels all the time (it really depends but this is my personal case) because it weighs my hair down. There’s a lot of wavy hair yters out there that understand that there’s a difference like suhanna Silva would really recommend her. I’m still working on my hair too but this is my personal opinion 😊
Just a tidbit of info for anyone reading, both aloe and honey are humectants, meaning they draw moisture from the air. If you live in a dry climate these ingredients may not work for you. So if you do try the mask and live in a dry climate, it's necessary to wet your hair first to help the aloe and honey along! 💜
I'm real early😊😊 just commenting before I even watch the video, hope it didn't damage your hair in the least! ily Isabella😍😍😍😘😘😘
I love your accent and how fast you talk. I usually watch this kinda video at 2x speed, but you talk kinda fast and I like that.
I'm more invested in your hair journey than mine 😂😂😂
I think you really should try:
• sulfate and silicone free shampoo (clarify once a month)
• deep conditioner every 2 weeks I would recommend for waves, every time you wash use a conditioner
those two should NOT have heavy ingredients in them (heavy butters/too many oils)
• use a good mix of high and low protein products
• once a month use a protein mask
•pixie diffuse for maximum curl (also do it upside down) after hover diffusion til about 50% dry
