For everyone asking about an updated haircare routine, here is my latest one in case you haven’t seen it! ruclips.net/video/SCIR-JsuZKI/видео.html I may do a new one soon if enough things change ❤️ Edit: I did it 🙃 ruclips.net/video/papWMk2cyZI/видео.html
Mistakes: 1. Dry brushing 1:19 2. Towel drying 3:12 3. Product build up 4:00 4. Too much product 5:49 5. Deep conditioning 6:58 6. Product application 9:37 Edit : wow this is the highest number of likes I've ever got😆. I love you all. 🥺
Notes: •Dry brushing; bad for hair, stop doing, ruins curls. Comb with wide tooth comb in the shower. •Drying hair with regular towel; not ideal because it’s harsh and causes frizz. Use a cotton t-shirt or microfibre towel •Product; build up (thick products). Use clarifying shampoo with sulphates (Waveyer hair rather than curly) •For wavy hair don’t weigh it down with thick products. Use lighter products like a curl milk/ wave styler or use a small amount of product. •Don’t strip hair; make sure to moisturise hair. Do hair masks and don’t use sulphates too often. •Application; for wavy don’t rake because it pulls on the waves. Smooth product over hair and scrunch. If you apply the product when wet and are scrunching you will cover all hair. (For 2a apply product on damp hair)
I just recently started brushing my fine hair again after 15 years of not. I am very happy that I started again and I don't see any harm in doing it before I wash my hair. I am gentle with my hair, no breaking and it feels so good. I think some of the curly girl rules are just that...rules and nothing more. I will continue with the brushing. Some days I wake up and my hair looks horrible, so I brush it and mist it and scrunch it and it looks SO MUCH better! I was afraid to brush my hair because of the CG rules. I'm glad that I broke the rules. Everyone's hair is different, no need to be stuck in legalities.
Girl since I was a teenager and my waves came in I've always brushed it before styling. Weather it's straight out of shower or on second day hair. There's no way I can go without brushing my hair. It looks matted and stuck to my head when I try and refresh without brushing first. To each his own but brushing is something that I have to do lol
For weavy hair are some rules: 1 use conditioner or mask but don t use it on scalp the conditioner as the hair would get oily fast. . 2 after bath use a wide rare comb, a must for weavy hair. 3 apply a product at the ends towards the upper hair but don't touch the scalp with the product and hold the head down and the hair in your palms to give a shape of curls to your hair. 4 do not comb it to often cuz the hair get dry and frizzy, if you do so, apply serum to restyle it and to remove the frizz. 5 after bath you can blow dry it to give a shine to your hair or you can style it with hot tools, if you don't want hot tools, comb it, apply a serum and braid it. Good luck, weavy hair needs love and attention.
I recommend using styling products that activates with water. When you want to redefine your waves just spray some water to your hair, comb then scrunch and your waves will be just like first day !
Can you show us tricks for waves with short hair? I think my hair type is more like yours but I don't know how to get my waves to comes out and not be frizzy and dry or weighed down and build up.
I can't thank you enough for posting about cg routine. People with wavy and low porosity hair CANNOT be strictly cg method, we need sulfates to some degree. You are absolutely brilliant. I wish this was talked about more. Silicone is not the only build up we need worry about.
It makes me so happy to finally see someone I can actually relate to! Most of the wavy/curly girls have much longer hair than I do and it’s so refreshing to get to know how you treat your shorter hair :)
Finally, someone giving tips on wavy hair! Any of my attempts at the usual CGM stuff have failed. Now I can see it may be because it's aimed more at curlies than wavies... THANK YOU!! Subbed.
I’m on a journey to claim back my waves lol I’m sick of having my hair in a bun all the time.. I love wavy hair.. But I don’t know how to take care of it.. hence here I am!
I cannot stop staring at your hair, it's exactly how I want mine to look. Length, curl, color, it's exactly what I want when I go natural curls. I've avoided my natural curls for 4+ years because of how much work they were to maintain, and the number of bad hair days was just so discouraging. So I've been heat curling them for years, but am thinking about trying to go natural again. This is giving me hope again.
Using a wide tooth comb in the shower while your hair is wet AND has conditioner in it works sooooooo well! The conditioner helps the tangles slip out😁
I like change too and I think I have 2b and in some areas I feel I have 3a curls but my hair used to be alot more curly but like you said I cant stick to one thing I love change I like dying my hair and I am a product junkie
i tried for a while to stop dry brushing before refreshing, but i went back to it because my definition and frizz just improve so much when i start with that nice, detangled, puff ball lol. i did it for years and luckily didn’t see any damage and my wave pattern actually got even tighter! not that i would recommend it for everyone, i just thought it was cool that some things work better for different people :)
It’s actually better to detangle your hair while it’s dry. In a wet state, the hair is more fragile and prone to breakage. Now if it’s wet, and you can easily glide a brush or comb through, that’s great. But don’t feel bad for doing that.
Yes to less product! One thing my hair does really well with is a leave in mask as a styler. I personally love the Garnier banana hair mask. I condition as nornal, rinse and then smooth and scrunch in more of the banana mask and my hair LOVES it. I get lightweight and defined and healthy looking waves and curls.
Great video!! I have 2A/B hair & dont know what curly girl method is but I 1) spray my hair with water like 1x a day or 2x to help with styling(wetness makes waves come out) h then apply products 2) Shampoo once every 1-2 weeks with gentle Talieah Wajid or Creme of Nature shampoo 3) Deep condition every Saturday night with mixture of Koils of Nature + Miss Jessies + Mixed Chicks deep conditioner, Castor + Peppermint + Coconut Oils, & Sulfur 8 & Blue Magic greases and sometimes some other things. 4) After I wet my hair in the morning with a spray bottle with water + leave in conditioner mixture, I put on Miss Jessies or Curls leave in conditioner, then Curls Gelle or Ecostyle. I crunch it in, I don't smooth it on. 5) I never comb or brush. I jist dont like it. It works best for me. I just found out diffusers existed 😬🥺 I am going to buy one soon!!
Here's my advice: before I get to the shower I put some oil on hair (it can be coconut oil, argan oil, or olive oil) and when about to wash it, I brush my hair to detangle it (sorry for my English, that's not my first language, Portuguese is).
Thank you for sharing. It is a frustrating journey trying to figure out my hair. I've spent 25 years brushing my hair out and straightening so I must be patient as it does look like yours!
I'm really excited to find this video because I feel like you're the first wavy gal I've found with hair that looks EXACTLY like mine- length, texture, and curl pattern all match to a T!!
I'm glad I found this video! All the other curly/wavy hair videos I've watched are made by people with long hair. Since I have short hair, much like yours, my expectations for my hair are skewed by those standards EDIT: I agree that plopping doesn't work as well on short hair. (I think my curl pattern is only a 2A.) I've only attempted it twice (once with a t-shirt and once with a silk cap), but neither method gave me consistent looks. Right now I'm trying air drying my hair, and so far the results are better than plopping/sleeping with wet hair
You’re the first person I’ve heard that’s mentioned your bottom layer curls getting flattened by plopping - I also have short curly hair and have the exact same problem. How do you avoid plopping and still get curl definition?
I don’t know why people don’t talk about it! I just do a lot of scrunching & use strong hold products.. if you haven’t tried a gel cast yet, you should! It works great for definition. I have a video about it here on my channel 😊
You can also try micro-plopping which is basically open-handed scrunching with a tshirt. I have short curly hair and I do plop for a short time followed by micro-plopping. I learned this from the Fit Kat Style channel.
Hair videos are 12/10! So hard to find 2B/C wave videos on RUclips and I find looking after waves is different than looking after curls! You're so informative and I think it's great content!
I'm so happy I found your videos. The first one I saw was when you had long hair and explained how you take care of your curly hair. My hair it's just a mess and I know it needs care and love. Yeah, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge and I'm going to start taking care of my hair, I just ordered a few things in Amazon that I hope can help me.
I am so new to this I just discovered that my hair is wavy and I had no idea what to do.. and then i discover this video.. I love this video so much.. it gave me so much guidance to how to take care of my hair..
After having COVID 19 I lost a lot of hair and the new one is wavy, too wavy in some areas.. it’s driving me crazy.. so far these are the best recommendations I have heard.. now I have to apply them and see if they work for me... fingers crossed 🤞🏼
I agree with you cause everyones hair is different, but probably for those who have really curly hair it does work better following the cgm. I love your hair 💞
I have curly/wavy hair too and I find I need to do a proper shampoo step every wash because of how much build up I get. I use curly girl friendly shampoos but I find it so weird how little focus there is on clarifying in the curly girl method: it seems to be one of the most forgotten aspects! Really loved this video! Very helpful!
I have dry scalp/skin and even I think it's so important to use a clarifying shampoo periodically if you are doing the curly girl method. But I'm not an expert so who knows 🤷♀️ I'd love to ask some hair experts and dermatologists about the CG method
I have your hair type, which I think is ideal. I can wear it straight or wavy depending on the way I style it. My hair is longer right now, but I have had it shorter in the past.
i have weavy hair, i believe same type as you and sometime is driving me crazy but to be honest i like the fact that first and second day is weavy and then change into other types of weave like and feel like i have 3 styles, sometimes even closer to straight so i believe is a blessing and sometimes can be a nightmare if you don t feel like to style it, hun you forgot to mention that the shorther your hair is, the better holds the curls but when is long, is getting more difficult to hold in place the curls because of the weight
You are definitely right about wavy hair being different short vs long. I cut my hair off about 5 years ago and I never will wear it long again! I keep mine about your length or a couple inches shorter. I love you wear a side part like me too. Every other shorter hair channel I have found usually part theirs in the center. I have my stylist cut mine parted so if I try to mimic one of their hair styles it never acts right. I have been struggling with frizz since I turned 40 and I am about to go crazy dealing with it. I have oily hair until about 3 inches from my scalp. From that point to my ends is extremely dry. I have spent a small fortune on different products and used several different techniques and nothing keeps my hair nice past a day or so. I used to use mainly a cleansing conditioner ( not a co-wash) and my hair looked beautiful but I can’t find one anymore.
My hair is similar to yours and this is so helpful, I've been using so many heavy products and not clarifying enough and it weighs down everything. This might be saving my waves and curls! Thank you!
Before clarifying shampoo I learned to use baking soda which works fantastically for clarifying my hair. The method I use is simple: mix one tablespoon of baking soda into a cup of warm water and pour over my hair, in the shower, (starting at my crown so that is runs over my scalp) just prior to shampooing my hair. End result is shining clean hair. I only did this every few months, but then I rarely used hair products.
Anyone else has oily hair? I have some parts of my hair wavy and some parts are curly put I can’t keep the curls to stay during the night. My hair gets greasy the 2nd day after washing. Anyone have any tips on shampoos and gels/mousse?
Go longer with out washing progressively. I also get my hair wet almost every morning and scrub my scalp with the light circle motions. So if day 2 looks shady wear it up or something to make it look less bad. Slowly work your way up to longer periods.
In addition to the above comment, this is where a bonnet shines. Sadly, I use a cpap so my waves still stretch a bit but I have been able to go longer between washes because my hair isn’t getting as oily.
@@spacecat1974 I just brought some good ass hair dry shampoo and it’s been helping with my oily hair! And it comes unscented and scented it cost like 22 dollars but people use it for over 6 months without needing refills
I use a stretched out skinny silk scrunchie. Mine is the Slip brand. Also works for when I put hair up for convertible drive. I just do loose pony, back of head. You can also just tie back loosely with a ribbon, if your hair is wavy enough to hold it in.
I went to grade school w/someone w/your name. First time I have ever seen it other than her. She was my 2nd grade friend & we lost touch. Wish I could find her. Anyway, also trying to find my pattern & having trouble. Thx for this trip down memory lane.
You have beautiful hair! I’m just trying to figure out what to do with my hair. The bottom layers at the back have strong 2a-2b waves that hold up easily until next wash day (3-4 days) without me doing anything special, or even brushing or using a concentrator with the blow dryer. Unlike the front and top layers, which are basically straight, only clumping a little, and scrunching makes them look rather just untidy. I tried to do pin curls on them, but they don’t really hold them. I’ve never had wavy hair on my whole head, so I wonder if it could be any wavier at all. Watching all those curly-wavy videos I started to use SLS free shampoo and I feel the difference while washing, it isn’t as drying. Maybe my hair is a bit damaged despite feeling nice after conditioning. It does need protein, my fine hair becomes a tangled mess without it (mainly the wavy part), that one I’ve already figured out. Anyone had the same experience?
i have the same problem! really strong waves/curls in the back of my head and underneath but on the sides/top of my hair it's pretty straight-ish or it gets straight really easily. the struggle of not having the same texture throughout all the hair is real XD
Great video and helpful tips I want to try on my type 2 gray hair. I have struggled my whole life with my hair and styles that never were for my real hair type. This is liberating for me!
@@tabithagingerich hi my name is Daniela but everyone call me Dani and I'm from lima perú, since last year I had cut my long hair to a medium length bob cut in layers in other words I cut my hair short, my hair is naturally dark chocolate brown colored and wavy with naturally straight on the lengths and curly in the ends , the last six years I have had half of hair dyed in ashy blonde hair color and last year in march I had a color bath since the natural pigments of my hair could not grasp on the ashy blonde hair dye and had a color bath aside from my medium in length bob cut hair cut done and the dye went away and descided to let my hair , roots and scalp rest and heal from the hair dye use, and on May 1st of this year 2021 I had my after summer hair trimming and descided to have a short balayage dye but this time dark red cherry colored and with a ammonia free hair dye, since its been a year and four months since I have dyed my hair locks and ends I'm clueless in how to wash it without the hair dye color fading, with damaging my hair and without like in the past having hair dilemas that for me was a hair nightmare for which are dryness in my hair, roots and scalp, without causing itchyness on my scalp and without causing my hair, hair strands, roots and scalp get oily or tangled, so I have some questions , first of all ¿can I wet my hair with lukewarm water before shampooing and before conditioning?, ¿how much amount of shampoo and condition should I use if I have medium in lengths short hair and its half dyed? and ¿can rinsing my hair after shampoo and after conditioner help my balayage hair dye from not fading?, I'm using Petal Fresh Color Protection Pomegrant and Acai Shampoo and Conditioner that is sulfate free, salt free, paraban free and glutten free like my hair mask from the brand Brasiliana which is safe from my hair ¿right?, please let know your tips and advices , thank you, sorry for the comment being too long and greetings from Lima Perú
Really enjoyed your video. Been having problems with my short curly hair and how bes t to take care of it. Thank you for your advice and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Hey, could you give us some tips on how hydrate our hair? like masks, deep conditioners (natural or not)... Yours looks so shiny, soft and smooth, and I'd really love to know how did you archieve it because right now mine is just eh, frizzy and not soft or smooth at all. Just shiny on my first day of washing it:(
i think i have pretty similar hair to yours (or at least how i want my hair to get) and i'd love if you made a video about your favourite products that would be so helpful!
I think you're the first person I've ever seen with pretty much the same kind of hair as mine. It's also super oily. I'm interested in getting started in a hair care routine. I've never done anything with my hair and wear it thrown up a lot. Mine is medium texture and thick, just below my shoulders in layers. The top isn't wavy and it gets weighed down easily unless I keep it short. I think my hair is 2A-2C. I love 3B hair!
You are so beautiful🥰. It's been ages since I brushed my hair. I use a wide tooth comb and very slightly comb my wavy hair. Problem: my hair is frizzy which I so hate!! Usually I damp my hair and use some hair cream and scrunch but then next-day it looks limp and oily🙄
Enjoyed watching your tutorials, my haired turned wavy about six years ago and I try desperately not to use a brush to blow it dry curling iron or flat iron but sometimes it just looks like a mess, I stick my head under the water and start all over again
Can you make a video that compares having short, wavy hair and having long, wavy hair? I have only ever had short, wavy hair, but I am considering growing it out, so I just wanted to know your thoughts on that!
You should try Viori bars to clean with.. CGM friendly and great cleansers. Environmentally friendly and I just loooove. The conditioner is SO good at detangling too, silky soft
This is the second hair video of yours I have watched and I am thankful for you sharing these tips for wavy hair types, it's really helping me bring out my curls. I absolutely love your gorgeous hair, so beautiful and healthy looking!
So glad you mentioned damp styling for wavies!! I know this was a couple of months ago, but do you remember what kind of lip stick you were wearing? Super cute!!!
Can anyone answer me, is a regular towel always harsher than, say, a cotton shirt? Because I just wrap my hair up in a regular towel until I've finished drying my body off and then I let my hair air dry without any rubbing or squeezing at all.
I'm so glad I found your channel, I appreciate your videos a lot. I just feel like my hair is the worst of everything - it's not straight, it's only slightly wavy, it's not curly, it's just ugly, puffy and frizzy no matter what products (or lack of products) I use. I feel inspired to try your advice though, because your hair is very similar to mine but you've been taking care of it a lot better than me apparently. Your hair is so pretty! I hope I can at least get mine to look even just a little nicer, so we'll see how it goes. Thank you again!
It may be 2a? Is it easy to blow dry straight with a brush? If you don't have to flat iron to smooth it, it may be worth it to smooth it with blow dryer and brush. Or try some heatless curls on damp hair? Just some ideas. My hair used to be straight as a child and teen, then 2a at 25 on up to 2c eventually after I had my children.
I love your soft curls! I have thick hair, with a slight wave & I'm gonna try to cut down on brushing my hair so much & see if I get better waves, bc I love waves/curls! But, I brush often to reduce frizz...I'll have to improvise.
I love your video, I agree I always use neem oil to detangle l. I detangle first with fingers then wide tooth comb then brush before shampoo. I am Nicaraguan Haitian American mix with black ethnic wavy/cruly 23 inch hair. I am in a hair growth and weight loss journey. Thank you so much for your tips. Not a lot of wavy hair videos so this was good. New subscriber 😍
@@shivangiranjan8085 Argan Oil, Moroccan oil anything like that works better for me. I have frizzy thick hair which means it needs moisture. If you don't have frizzy hair or thick hair, you probably don't need a lot of oil.
I have super thick and tangled hair so I have to brush it daily, I try to only target the knots but it still pulls my curls I wish there was an alternative without waiting to brush it when I wash my hair every other day
With the curl milk is that a leave in thing? In current use Shea Moisture shampoo, and conditioner. Also just got their daily hydrating finishing oil serum. styling wise I just use a light detangler and mousse. I air dry and have done for about 20+ years, and never dyed or permed my hair. Unsure how to use the curl milk. Also thinking of getting the Aussie gel? I've never been big on hairspray or gel as my hair is super thick, & with product it still falls 5 min later. I've got some 2c and some 3a.
thank you for the tips Tabitha 🙏 Question: How do we refresh our hair in the morning if we don’t want to use water, but we can’t dry brush our hair? l hear wetting our hair daily is not good , l am trying to avoid water in the morning when l refresh? once again, thank you Tabitha 🙏
I recently donated all of my long hair and I found my short hair growing back super wavy and even ringlet shaped around my face, I just ordered love you curls products and tried plopping this morning, thank you for the tips! I definitely noticed a difference with plopping vs not plopping but I wonder what you do then?
Hi Tabitha, I've got quite long thick wavy hair and I'm finding knots in it just about every single day. Would you recommend using wide tooth comb on your hair daily? Thanks.
My waves only last for a little bit after a shower and then when they dry it becomes not as curly. Also if my waves are good when I go to bed when I wake up it is not as wavy and my hair just is not a firings when it is dry. Any tips??
I’m still working on finding the best method.. I haven’t had the best luck with wearing it up with my short hair but when I had longer hair I would often do a pineapple (high loose pony tail on the top of the head) but I’ve heard amazing things about wrapping it in a silk scarf!
Hi Tabitha. Can you please tell me where the definitions for the different curl numbers and letters come from? Thanks! And btw your hair is gorgeous, as are you! Enjoy it! Thanks 🙏 for these videos!
I love this. I just realized I have wavy hair although my hair is very long ...I do the plopping and I was told to use mousse and gel but had some frizz. You definitely enlightened me and encouraged me and I can't wait to try what you said tomorrow. Love your videos. I am a good friend of Tanya and your brother Johnny. You are doing such an amazing job. More wavy hair videos for type 2a and 2b which I think I am
I’m so glad you mentioned the water thing when applying products, I never knew that it was ok to apply them when your hair is damp for more wavy hair, my hair is barely starting to transition and I always thought I had to SOAK my hair through before applying products but then whatever little waves I have never really stay, I’m gonna try this method now. Anyways my point is THANK YOU lmao

I started using a denman brush when my hair is wet and it creates nice smooth curl clumps. Otherwise it’s more frizzy.
I wanna like the comment so bad but its at a perfect 500 I cant ruin it😅🥴

I have curly hair and I brush my hair before I shower and honestly my hair looks good
Totally agree with this..it all depends on what works for you..and nothing else..
It also loosens the dirt and dead skin off your scalp before washing.
Agree! Brushing stimulates the scalp with blood circulation, encouraging hair growth and follicle nourishment. Curly hair *rules* are just *opinions.*
It feels like no matter what I do, whenever i wake up my hair looks like a birds nest and needs a brush! How do you get round this?
Damp your hair and refresh that is re-style

I can't thank you enough for posting about cg routine. People with wavy and low porosity hair CANNOT be strictly cg method, we need sulfates to some degree. You are absolutely brilliant. I wish this was talked about more. Silicone is not the only build up we need worry about.

i tried for a while to stop dry brushing before refreshing, but i went back to it because my definition and frizz just improve so much when i start with that nice, detangled, puff ball lol. i did it for years and luckily didn’t see any damage and my wave pattern actually got even tighter! not that i would recommend it for everyone, i just thought it was cool that some things work better for different people :)
It’s actually better to detangle your hair while it’s dry. In a wet state, the hair is more fragile and prone to breakage. Now if it’s wet, and you can easily glide a brush or comb through, that’s great. But don’t feel bad for doing that.
Yes to less product! One thing my hair does really well with is a leave in mask as a styler. I personally love the Garnier banana hair mask. I condition as nornal, rinse and then smooth and scrunch in more of the banana mask and my hair LOVES it. I get lightweight and defined and healthy looking waves and curls.
This is great. I've been making some of these mistakes and wondered why my hair didn't look so great. Thanks ☺👍
Great video!! I have 2A/B hair & dont know what curly girl method is but I
1) spray my hair with water like 1x a day or 2x to help with styling(wetness makes waves come out) h then apply products
2) Shampoo once every 1-2 weeks with gentle Talieah Wajid or Creme of Nature shampoo
3) Deep condition every Saturday night with mixture of Koils of Nature + Miss Jessies + Mixed Chicks deep conditioner, Castor + Peppermint + Coconut Oils, & Sulfur 8 & Blue Magic greases and sometimes some other things.
4) After I wet my hair in the morning with a spray bottle with water + leave in conditioner mixture, I put on Miss Jessies or Curls leave in conditioner, then Curls Gelle or Ecostyle. I crunch it in, I don't smooth it on.
5) I never comb or brush. I jist dont like it. It works best for me.
I just found out diffusers existed 😬🥺 I am going to buy one soon!!
Here's my advice: before I get to the shower I put some oil on hair (it can be coconut oil, argan oil, or olive oil) and when about to wash it, I brush my hair to detangle it (sorry for my English, that's not my first language, Portuguese is).
Your English is very good! I personally use olive oil after I shower in my hair.
Thank you for sharing. It is a frustrating journey trying to figure out my hair. I've spent 25 years brushing my hair out and straightening so I must be patient as it does look like yours!
I'm really excited to find this video because I feel like you're the first wavy gal I've found with hair that looks EXACTLY like mine- length, texture, and curl pattern all match to a T!!
I’m so glad 💕 I know it’s hard to find people with the same hair as yours ☺️
I'm glad I found this video! All the other curly/wavy hair videos I've watched are made by people with long hair. Since I have short hair, much like yours, my expectations for my hair are skewed by those standards
EDIT: I agree that plopping doesn't work as well on short hair. (I think my curl pattern is only a 2A.) I've only attempted it twice (once with a t-shirt and once with a silk cap), but neither method gave me consistent looks. Right now I'm trying air drying my hair, and so far the results are better than plopping/sleeping with wet hair
You’re the first person I’ve heard that’s mentioned your bottom layer curls getting flattened by plopping - I also have short curly hair and have the exact same problem. How do you avoid plopping and still get curl definition?
I don’t know why people don’t talk about it! I just do a lot of scrunching & use strong hold products.. if you haven’t tried a gel cast yet, you should! It works great for definition. I have a video about it here on my channel 😊
i use a microfiber towel and scrunch up until its damp. Sometimes I plop with a turby twist like towel and don't leave it on for too long.
You can also try micro-plopping which is basically open-handed scrunching with a tshirt. I have short curly hair and I do plop for a short time followed by micro-plopping. I learned this from the Fit Kat Style channel.
@@karenn993 this is what I did today.... and really is effective. Would recommend
Hair videos are 12/10! So hard to find 2B/C wave videos on RUclips and I find looking after waves is different than looking after curls! You're so informative and I think it's great content!
I'm so happy I found your videos. The first one I saw was when you had long hair and explained how you take care of your curly hair. My hair it's just a mess and I know it needs care and love. Yeah, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge and I'm going to start taking care of my hair, I just ordered a few things in Amazon that I hope can help me.
I am so new to this I just discovered that my hair is wavy and I had no idea what to do.. and then i discover this video.. I love this video so much.. it gave me so much guidance to how to take care of my hair..
After having COVID 19 I lost a lot of hair and the new one is wavy, too wavy in some areas.. it’s driving me crazy.. so far these are the best recommendations I have heard.. now I have to apply them and see if they work for me... fingers crossed 🤞🏼
I agree with you cause everyones hair is different, but probably for those who have really curly hair it does work better following the cgm. I love your hair 💞
I have curly/wavy hair too and I find I need to do a proper shampoo step every wash because of how much build up I get. I use curly girl friendly shampoos but I find it so weird how little focus there is on clarifying in the curly girl method: it seems to be one of the most forgotten aspects! Really loved this video! Very helpful!
Yes I definitely agree! So glad it was helpful ❤️
I have dry scalp/skin and even I think it's so important to use a clarifying shampoo periodically if you are doing the curly girl method. But I'm not an expert so who knows 🤷♀️ I'd love to ask some hair experts and dermatologists about the CG method
I have your hair type, which I think is ideal. I can wear it straight or wavy depending on the way I style it. My hair is longer right now, but I have had it shorter in the past.
i have weavy hair, i believe same type as you and sometime is driving me crazy but to be honest i like the fact that first and second day is weavy and then change into other types of weave like and feel like i have 3 styles, sometimes even closer to straight so i believe is a blessing and sometimes can be a nightmare if you don t feel like to style it, hun you forgot to mention that the shorther your hair is, the better holds the curls but when is long, is getting more difficult to hold in place the curls because of the weight
in love with your curl pattern ooofff 😳😍
🥰🥰🥰
You are definitely right about wavy hair being different short vs long. I cut my hair off about 5 years ago and I never will wear it long again! I keep mine about your length or a couple inches shorter. I love you wear a side part like me too. Every other shorter hair channel I have found usually part theirs in the center. I have my stylist cut mine parted so if I try to mimic one of their hair styles it never acts right. I have been struggling with frizz since I turned 40 and I am about to go crazy dealing with it. I have oily hair until about 3 inches from my scalp. From that point to my ends is extremely dry. I have spent a small fortune on different products and used several different techniques and nothing keeps my hair nice past a day or so. I used to use mainly a cleansing conditioner ( not a co-wash) and my hair looked beautiful but I can’t find one anymore.
Your makeup looks so good!
My hair is similar to yours and this is so helpful, I've been using so many heavy products and not clarifying enough and it weighs down everything. This might be saving my waves and curls! Thank you!
Can you do an updated hair routine with the new products you’re using? xx
Hey girl I also have wavy hair if you’re interested in more similar videos ☺️🥰
melinda sure! Thanks
Before clarifying shampoo I learned to use baking soda which works fantastically for clarifying my hair. The method I use is simple: mix one tablespoon of baking soda into a cup of warm water and pour over my hair, in the shower, (starting at my crown so that is runs over my scalp) just prior to shampooing my hair. End result is shining clean hair. I only did this every few months, but then I rarely used hair products.
These are really good tips!! Most of them I had to learn the hard way, since there's less info out there about styling wavy hair
OMG, finally I found a beautiful woman has exact same hair pattern as mine!!! I'm so excited, subscribed!!
♡♡
Anyone else has oily hair? I have some parts of my hair wavy and some parts are curly put I can’t keep the curls to stay during the night. My hair gets greasy the 2nd day after washing. Anyone have any tips on shampoos and gels/mousse?
Go longer with out washing progressively. I also get my hair wet almost every morning and scrub my scalp with the light circle motions. So if day 2 looks shady wear it up or something to make it look less bad. Slowly work your way up to longer periods.
Kayla Smith thank you so much
In addition to the above comment, this is where a bonnet shines. Sadly, I use a cpap so my waves still stretch a bit but I have been able to go longer between washes because my hair isn’t getting as oily.
@@spacecat1974 I just brought some good ass hair dry shampoo and it’s been helping with my oily hair! And it comes unscented and scented it cost like 22 dollars but people use it for over 6 months without needing refills
What’s a good way to retain the wave after wearing up at the gym? What’s a good gym hair style that doesn’t totally wreck it?
I use a stretched out skinny silk scrunchie. Mine is the Slip brand. Also works for when I put hair up for convertible drive. I just do loose pony, back of head. You can also just tie back loosely with a ribbon, if your hair is wavy enough to hold it in.
I lost my curl pattern because of diffrent tunings and you have the same curl pattern I had and I got so sad looking at your gorgeous hair
Aww 🥺 is your hair damaged? You could probably still get it back ❤️
I went to grade school w/someone w/your name. First time I have ever seen it other than her. She was my 2nd grade friend & we lost touch. Wish I could find her. Anyway, also trying to find my pattern & having trouble. Thx for this trip down memory lane.
You have beautiful hair! I’m just trying to figure out what to do with my hair. The bottom layers at the back have strong 2a-2b waves that hold up easily until next wash day (3-4 days) without me doing anything special, or even brushing or using a concentrator with the blow dryer. Unlike the front and top layers, which are basically straight, only clumping a little, and scrunching makes them look rather just untidy. I tried to do pin curls on them, but they don’t really hold them. I’ve never had wavy hair on my whole head, so I wonder if it could be any wavier at all. Watching all those curly-wavy videos I started to use SLS free shampoo and I feel the difference while washing, it isn’t as drying. Maybe my hair is a bit damaged despite feeling nice after conditioning. It does need protein, my fine hair becomes a tangled mess without it (mainly the wavy part), that one I’ve already figured out. Anyone had the same experience?
i have the same problem! really strong waves/curls in the back of my head and underneath but on the sides/top of my hair it's pretty straight-ish or it gets straight really easily. the struggle of not having the same texture throughout all the hair is real XD
Great video and helpful tips I want to try on my type 2 gray hair. I have struggled my whole life with my hair and styles that never were for my real hair type. This is liberating for me!
You are adorable and your hair is gorgeous.
Awwh thank you 🥺❤️
@@tabithagingerich hi my name is Daniela but everyone call me Dani and I'm from lima perú, since last year I had cut my long hair to a medium length bob cut in layers in other words I cut my hair short, my hair is naturally dark chocolate brown colored and wavy with naturally straight on the lengths and curly in the ends , the last six years I have had half of hair dyed in ashy blonde hair color and last year in march I had a color bath since the natural pigments of my hair could not grasp on the ashy blonde hair dye and had a color bath aside from my medium in length bob cut hair cut done and the dye went away and descided to let my hair , roots and scalp rest and heal from the hair dye use, and on May 1st of this year 2021 I had my after summer hair trimming and descided to have a short balayage dye but this time dark red cherry colored and with a ammonia free hair dye, since its been a year and four months since I have dyed my hair locks and ends I'm clueless in how to wash it without the hair dye color fading, with damaging my hair and without like in the past having hair dilemas that for me was a hair nightmare for which are dryness in my hair, roots and scalp, without causing itchyness on my scalp and without causing my hair, hair strands, roots and scalp get oily or tangled, so I have some questions , first of all ¿can I wet my hair with lukewarm water before shampooing and before conditioning?, ¿how much amount of shampoo and condition should I use if I have medium in lengths short hair and its half dyed? and ¿can rinsing my hair after shampoo and after conditioner help my balayage hair dye from not fading?, I'm using Petal Fresh Color Protection Pomegrant and Acai Shampoo and Conditioner that is sulfate free, salt free, paraban free and glutten free like my hair mask from the brand Brasiliana which is safe from my hair ¿right?, please let know your tips and advices , thank you, sorry for the comment being too long and greetings from Lima Perú
Just cut my hair to shoulder length so I’m thankful I came across your channel so I know what I’m doing with short wavy hair!
Really enjoyed your video. Been having problems with my short curly hair and how bes t to take care of it. Thank you for your advice and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Hey, could you give us some tips on how hydrate our hair? like masks, deep conditioners (natural or not)...
Yours looks so shiny, soft and smooth, and I'd really love to know how did you archieve it because right now mine is just eh, frizzy and not soft or smooth at all. Just shiny on my first day of washing it:(
My hair is 3b and it thick and fizzy. I admire your hair so much.
Best wavy hair video! You are so calming to watch lol
Awwh thanks 🥰
So what about finishing hairspray ? Too heavy? I find my waves start falling out in some areas
Her hair looks amazing!!
Good points to remember ✌️
i think i have pretty similar hair to yours (or at least how i want my hair to get) and i'd love if you made a video about your favourite products that would be so helpful!
I think you're the first person I've ever seen with pretty much the same kind of hair as mine. It's also super oily. I'm interested in getting started in a hair care routine. I've never done anything with my hair and wear it thrown up a lot. Mine is medium texture and thick, just below my shoulders in layers. The top isn't wavy and it gets weighed down easily unless I keep it short. I think my hair is 2A-2C. I love 3B hair!
You are so beautiful🥰. It's been ages since I brushed my hair. I use a wide tooth comb and very slightly comb my wavy hair. Problem: my hair is frizzy which I so hate!! Usually I damp my hair and use some hair cream and scrunch but then next-day it looks limp and oily🙄
Enjoyed watching your tutorials, my haired turned wavy about six years ago and I try desperately not to use a brush to blow it dry curling iron or flat iron but sometimes it just looks like a mess, I stick my head under the water and start all over again
Thought your video was really helpful and nice to listen to. Thank you so much for the tips. 💖
Can you make a video that compares having short, wavy hair and having long, wavy hair? I have only ever had short, wavy hair, but I am considering growing it out, so I just wanted to know your thoughts on that!
I do have a some sort of 2c wave but it looks curly when I diffuse it
Thank you for this Tabitha. Very helpful and you seem very balanced in your views about hair which is refreshing :)
what color do you use to dye your hair? Did you paint at the hairdresser or yourself? and which brand and number of lipstick? You looks amazing!
You should try Viori bars to clean with.. CGM friendly and great cleansers. Environmentally friendly and I just loooove. The conditioner is SO good at detangling too, silky soft
This is the second hair video of yours I have watched and I am thankful for you sharing these tips for wavy hair types, it's really helping me bring out my curls. I absolutely love your gorgeous hair, so beautiful and healthy looking!
Thank you for sharing things you've been learning on your hair journey and how you've been open to finding your own methods!
❤️❤️ thank you for watching!!
So glad you mentioned damp styling for wavies!! I know this was a couple of months ago, but do you remember what kind of lip stick you were wearing? Super cute!!!
Can anyone answer me, is a regular towel always harsher than, say, a cotton shirt? Because I just wrap my hair up in a regular towel until I've finished drying my body off and then I let my hair air dry without any rubbing or squeezing at all.
Yes please do a vid about your why and relaxing on hair care rules. Also an updated hair care routine please!
I'm so glad I found your channel, I appreciate your videos a lot. I just feel like my hair is the worst of everything - it's not straight, it's only slightly wavy, it's not curly, it's just ugly, puffy and frizzy no matter what products (or lack of products) I use. I feel inspired to try your advice though, because your hair is very similar to mine but you've been taking care of it a lot better than me apparently. Your hair is so pretty! I hope I can at least get mine to look even just a little nicer, so we'll see how it goes. Thank you again!
It may be 2a? Is it easy to blow dry straight with a brush? If you don't have to flat iron to smooth it, it may be worth it to smooth it with blow dryer and brush. Or try some heatless curls on damp hair? Just some ideas. My hair used to be straight as a child and teen, then 2a at 25 on up to 2c eventually after I had my children.
I love your soft curls! I have thick hair, with a slight wave & I'm gonna try to cut down on brushing my hair so much & see if I get better waves, bc I love waves/curls! But, I brush often to reduce frizz...I'll have to improvise.
I love your video, I agree I always use neem oil to detangle l. I detangle first with fingers then wide tooth comb then brush before shampoo. I am Nicaraguan Haitian American mix with black ethnic wavy/cruly 23 inch hair. I am in a hair growth and weight loss journey. Thank you so much for your tips. Not a lot of wavy hair videos so this was good. New subscriber 😍
Will you pleaseeee do an updated hair routine? :)
I love this style do u get highlights? This is how my hair would look but it takes a long time to grow sometimes.😭
I can't use creams or mousse. I used to try to use that stuff in high school, but it never worked great. I switched to using oils.
Which oils do you use?
@@shivangiranjan8085 Argan Oil, Moroccan oil anything like that works better for me. I have frizzy thick hair which means it needs moisture. If you don't have frizzy hair or thick hair, you probably don't need a lot of oil.
I have super thick and tangled hair so I have to brush it daily, I try to only target the knots but it still pulls my curls I wish there was an alternative without waiting to brush it when I wash my hair every other day
I need to comeback here to thank you 😊 eversince I follow your routine I have been getting complements from friends 💖
❤️❤️
Love your hair! It's gorgeous 😍
With the curl milk is that a leave in thing? In current use Shea Moisture shampoo, and conditioner. Also just got their daily hydrating finishing oil serum. styling wise I just use a light detangler and mousse. I air dry and have done for about 20+ years, and never dyed or permed my hair. Unsure how to use the curl milk. Also thinking of getting the Aussie gel? I've never been big on hairspray or gel as my hair is super thick, & with product it still falls 5 min later. I've got some 2c and some 3a.
thank you for the tips Tabitha 🙏 Question: How do we refresh our hair in the morning if we don’t want to use water, but we can’t dry brush our hair? l hear wetting our hair daily is not good , l am trying to avoid water in the morning when l refresh? once again, thank you Tabitha 🙏
I am lost what products shoul I use and what is the order to put them.
You are STUNNING and that lip colour is gorgeous. I gotta know what colour that is 😍
I recently donated all of my long hair and I found my short hair growing back super wavy and even ringlet shaped around my face, I just ordered love you curls products and tried plopping this morning, thank you for the tips! I definitely noticed a difference with plopping vs not plopping but I wonder what you do then?
Hi Tabitha, I've got quite long thick wavy hair and I'm finding knots in it just about every single day. Would you recommend using wide tooth comb on your hair daily? Thanks.
Your hair is so cute. Love it!
My problem area is the crown. I can never get it to look cute. I end up picking it up.
Make a video about the exact products that you recommend and use
how to brush hair btwn two washes...i dont wash hair everyday... need to brush hair for daily work
How do you get the lift at the top hairline? Gorgeous hair!
My waves only last for a little bit after a shower and then when they dry it becomes not as curly. Also if my waves are good when I go to bed when I wake up it is not as wavy and my hair just is not a firings when it is dry. Any tips??
How r u supposed to sleep with wavy hair? Do u sleep with it down or up?
I’m still working on finding the best method.. I haven’t had the best luck with wearing it up with my short hair but when I had longer hair I would often do a pineapple (high loose pony tail on the top of the head) but I’ve heard amazing things about wrapping it in a silk scarf!
I never know how to sleep with my hair as if I put it up it makes a dent but if I sleep on it it loosens the waves?
same, i think that i might try plopping it even when is is dry but my hair is the exact same!
These tips are so good for wavy type hair. Thank you!
So happy to finally find someone with wavy hair like mine. Am enjoying your channel a lot. Thanks for all the tips you share.
Love the eyes...do you have a makeup tutorial? 👀👀🌸🌸
Hi Tabitha. Can you please tell me where the definitions for the different curl numbers and letters come from? Thanks! And btw your hair is gorgeous, as are you! Enjoy it! Thanks 🙏 for these videos!
Can comb it during shampoo or conditioner
I love this. I just realized I have wavy hair although my hair is very long ...I do the plopping and I was told to use mousse and gel but had some frizz. You definitely enlightened me and encouraged me and I can't wait to try what you said tomorrow. Love your videos. I am a good friend of Tanya and your brother Johnny. You are doing such an amazing job.
More wavy hair videos for type 2a and 2b which I think I am
Wish I could send you a pic so could see and give me tips
Great video, very informative!! But, I thought olaplex was meant to be used on damp hair?
I’m so glad you mentioned the water thing when applying products, I never knew that it was ok to apply them when your hair is damp for more wavy hair, my hair is barely starting to transition and I always thought I had to SOAK my hair through before applying products but then whatever little waves I have never really stay, I’m gonna try this method now. Anyways my point is THANK YOU lmao
♡♡♡♡
I de tangle in the shower once the conditioner is in and it never tugs.
