I have always had CURLY/FRIZZY hair. I read the book Curly Girl, bu have not tried this. It appears to be fairly time consuming. How often do you wash/dry your hair?
I wish my hair was still that thick!! It has thinned so much.. I noticed you used Treseme hair product. Did you know that there are law suits against that brand for hair loss? I used the shampoo and conditioner for a long time but I stopped. I'm wanting to try the Dream Wow product. They say it is wonderful...
You look amazing! I am 58 and it is so refreshing to see a middle aged woman give this presentation. I have very thick hair also and I am going to try this method. My crown is thinning out but I think this will help my hair to be much healthier. Thank you! You look much younger than 60! I was surprised.
I have naturally curly/wavy hair that I am growing out of a pixie cut. I will try this method tomorrow when I wash my hair. I currently use shampoo conditioner and then curly mousse and the diffuser, but it is different when your hair is short and very thick. I have never thought about using gel but I will pick some up. I use a little bit of leave in hair cream to make my hair less crunchy at the end. It usually stays good for 3 days and then I do a refresh so that I only wash it once or sometimes twice a week .
Hello good will prevail, your comment about the hair on your crown thinning out definitely caught my attention. You can solve that by taking estradiol ( and progesterone if you have a uterus) I bring up this topic with every lady lately because I finally found out that's what's been going wrong with me and my doctors had no clue. Find menopause taylor here on RUclips she will teach you. There are a few reasons for women thinning hair but the biggest reason is the lack of estradiol do to ovary aging. Of course taking estradiol also stops hot flashes night sweats stop osteoporosis and many other good health benefits
I’m 30 and I wish I had known this at 15. I was bullied horribly for my hair. It was so poofy and frizzy. No form what so ever. It was worse than the video thumbnail. Still is
I lost 75 percent of my hair due to high fever with covid. (2 Mos later) Dermatologist told me to use Vivascal. It's pretty natural. It worked. Now I have CURLY hair😂.... result of genetics and high fever apparently.
I have your exact hair type. Been fighting with it for 60 years. Tried many products but my technique has been all wrong. Thank you so much for revolutionizing my hair routine! Just turned 60 but will have the best hair of my life.!
I also am...over 60 with curly hair that is all gray now; I use a similar method but if I run out of gloss I use baby oil in a pinch. Love the look. I get compliments all the time but I think I look like an aged 80's rocker!
I'm going to try this! My entire life my hair has been fuzzy and frizzy and "not straight". When I would tell hair stylists that the underside was wavy they would tell me wavy hair wasn't a thing. 🤷🏻♀️ Luster's Pink products aren't really obscure. They're made to care for hair of African heritage...and they're a proudly owned African-American company. 🥰 I never considered that my Mediterranean heritage might be the reason I needed a different product for my hair. I have spent my life using products made for flaxen, shiny straight hair. Not for coarse, wiry, textured hair. I'm really glad you tried this shine product and it worked. I am going to try, too!
awww thanks so much for your kind comment. Ps. I used to think that I was the ONLY one who hair quite like this, but in doing this video, so many ladies have said that they have the EXACT same hair.
I am 71 and have thick longer hair. Have always blown it straight (grew up wanting to be a surfer girl). My hairdresser was surprised recently with the amount of curl underneath the top layer of hair. Next time I'm going to talk to her about the curl. I'm also going to try some of the products you use and will try your process. Glad I came across this video. I was impressed by how you presented your process...good job!
This is hands down THE BEST CGM on RUclips. The clipping on the calyxe and throughout is genius, and your curls are absolutely beautiful ❤️🙏 Thank you so much for this and the affordable products for us "normal" folks lol
Awwww...thanks so much for your kind comments. I almost did not film this one because there were SO many videos on RUclips about this process. I decided to film it anyway to show a "regular" person using affordable and easy to find products. Hugs
I can't even believe how much that curly hair makes you look fresh and young! It makes your eyes light up! I m going to try some of this for my son's crazy hair.
Been doing a similar routine for many many years. So glad that we curly girls are finally embracing our curls and learning how to get rid of the frizz. Thanks for showing the process in detail I think it will really help us gals fight the frizz
Thank you for showing us how beautiful your hair can be when its aging . I'm 51 and have the same type of hair you do . I never had the courage to do anything other than straighten it . Your hair looks fab and you look amazing so I'm going to have a crack at and see if I can reach the same effect. God bless 😍✨✨✨✨✨
45yr old who's just recently learned I have curly/wavy hair not just frizz. After weeks of research this is by far the best video on cgm & relatable, so thank you. I tried your method today & I'm so happy with the result after 1 attempt.
I've watched a ton of curly girl method videos and actually tried it for awhile but then gave up on it and resorted to pulling my hair back:( Your video is the most common sense, detailed and helpful explanation I've seen. I really appreciated the product suggestions that don't cost a fortune. After watching this, I am inspired to give the curly girl method another try. Thank you, Theresa!
Your hair looks beautiful and healthy! I noticed mine went frizzy in my 50s, 53 now. I am surprised at how much product is needed, as well as the time and effort, but you achieve amazing results without damaging your hair, like so many other methods.
Theresa, this hairstyle is perfect for you! What a transformation! I also have a ton of heavy, thick hair that is frizzy. When my hair air dries, I look like Roseanne Roseannadanna from SNL. I'm going to try your method to see if I have some hidden curls. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Hi Ashley - SAME!!!!!! The "before" photo in my thumbnail is exactly what my hair does if I just wash it and let it "air dry". I also get the Roseanne Roseannadanna triangle of frizz :). When I tried this method for the fist time recently, I was SHOCKED that it actually worked. Now I don't use heat tools on my hair (not an option before!) and it feels SO much healthier :) Hugs
Try Ouidad products. The leave in conditioner and the heat and humidity gel. On wet hair. Finger comb, no brushes. Should sound squishy like hers. Let it dry. You will be shocked
Beautiful and affordable…Thank You. I have been straightening my hair for years (400.00 +/- each time) but am going back to curly. I am a senior citizen so your video helped me a great deal.
This is such a game changer 🙏🏻 I have seen this technique so many times but the step by step you showed here worked exactly as you described... I was in shock actually. Thank you so so much 🎉
Wow! I'm 69 and have shoulder arthritis now. I've gotten more compliments on my curly hair! Thank you for such a great video. You explain and showed the steps you take so well! 🙂🌻
I've been watching curly hair videos on RUclips for years, and this video is by far the best that I've seen! It includes every step from start to finish, has great information, and it's very clearly spoken. Excellent! I'm close to your age, however I have fine, thinning, curly hair that can be a struggle. Thank you for this video! I'll be watching your others, as well!
Hi Karen - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Ps. It's worth a try right?! I was surprised by the results I got :) Hugs!
I've got to say that this is the simplest, clearest explanation of the technique and the "why's" that I've come across yet...and in studying CGM for over a year now, I've seen TONS of videos! Thank you for this!! Also, you inspire me because our hair is so similar. I'm the same age and my hairs are more thin, but I have a huge head of hair! Because I have so much hair I've been thinning it out (especially in this year's insanely hot summer). I'm kind of wishing I hadn't now, cuz your's looks so amazing! Thank you for this video, I had fallen off the CGM wagon recently but I'll get back on :)
I've had curly hair my whole life & yes it took quite a few years to come to terms with it. Yes I use a leave-in conditioner after washing, & also don't brush out my hair every night - just turns back into frizz! I give it a good brush before washing it to get out loose hairs. However I don't go through the t-shirt routine! After the leave-in, I just air-dry my hair & floof it up every 15 mins or so, & never use a hair-dryer (but I live in a warm climate). I only wash my hair every 4/5 days. But the MOST important thing is to find a hairdresser who knows how to cut curly hair- it's an art, & if your hairdresser is cutting your curly hair like straight hair, it ain't going work. Good luck fellow Curly-Tops!
I love curly hair!! It's so beautiful. Mine is half curly and half wavy, so I really have to work with it. My granddaughters have gorgeous long, curly hair and of course they wanted it straightened for years. They have finally embraced the curls though 😊❤️❤️
Wow! Your hair looks amazing! I’m 54. My hair is similar. Very thick and wavy. But it varies -- very curly on the bottom, but more straight on top. I tend to just put in back in a pony tail because I don’t know how to style it. I went to a curly girl stylist once that charged $200 to show me how to hold curls, but my hair just looked and felt wet. I’m going to try this!
Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comments. We are practically twins! The "curl pattern" in my hair is irregular and erratic as . Over the years I have considered going to a stylist that specializes in styling this type of hair. I would'nt want my finished style to look or feel wet either....uggghhh. I hope that you get AMAZING results with this method, this was a game changer for me :).
I have fine, straight hair, so there's no way any of your video would apply to me. BUT, I couldn't stop watching and listening, as I so appreciate your talent for making great, informative videos, as well as your attention to the details. Thanks so much for your work!
Hello👋 I have gone through some of your comments I found out their great I feel we should get to know each other. You must understand that I don't mean to be rude in any way nor come here to embarrass you but all I just want is to get to know you, don't know how you feel about this hope you don't mind let me know what you think, love to get a positive reply from you🙏🙏🙏
I'm 56 and have curly hair to my waist. I'm going to try this. I normally just use a pick to get out snarls and apply a leave in conditioner. Then I do not comb or brush it til its time to wash it, otherwise I would look like your thumbnail on the left, but 3 times longer. Its fun to learn new things.
OMG- I have been doing this to my curly hair for about 25 years .. I have never seen anyone else do it the same way as me.. It took me 30 years of trial and error before I figured out how to take care of my curls with doing this routine... The only thing I do differently is, I wrap my hair in a white cotton t-shirt straight out of the shower but I am going to try your method with the long sleeve tshirt .. Thank you for making my day, I thought I was the only one who had a weird hair care routine and that nobody would understand why I go thru all these steps when most people can wash and dry their hair in a few minutes... ALso, I only wash my hair once per week... My hair is way too dry to wash it more often than that!
Hi Rhonda - thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comments. I wish I had tried this method YEARS ago. I know EXACTLY what you mean about other people not understanding what we have to go thru to get our hair to look descent. I envy ladies that can just wash their hair and let it "air dry". My hair looks exactly like the "before" picture in the thumbnail for this video when I do that. Fuzzy triangle head :) Hugs!
@@TheresaRene360 I wish curly hair care was taught in beauty school so they know not to scrub the ends of curly hair during shampooing. They just don't understand that when rinsing the shampoo off the scalp that the ends will get clean from the run off. Nor do they know that curly hair does not produce enough oils to reach to the end of the hair shift. Whoever cuts your hair does a fantastic job, your layers are perfect!! I have a hard time finding someone who can layer my hair correctly.
Finally a mature CG video! Great job. You’d also look amazing with natural color imo. I already know the method, you did a great job explaining and demonstrating.
YES!!!! I'm so glad I found this. I'm almost 40 and no longer have curls like I did in my 20's. Going to follow these directions I'm hopes I can bring some of those lovely ringlets back! ❤️
Free Range…..hang in there. I have had straight ash blonde hair my whole life. Now, in my older years I’m dealing with wavy, curly hair. My hairdresser our hair is subject to change during our lifetime. So, your curls just may come back.
What a fantastic video! You did a great job of explaining the process and your hair looks amazing! Good for you figuring out how to do that and so helpful of you to share what you’ve mastered with the rest of us.
Bravo! I’m happy you joined the club. I’ve been doing this for about a year and a half. The longer you keep at it, the curlier your hair will become. Yours is beautiful now!
Great video! During last year's lockdown, I let my super-short pixie (of many, many years) grow out--glad I didn't have to go out that much during the process! Anyway, I always thought I had semi-wavy hair. It's quite thick. Well, when I wore it very long in my 20s and 30s, I brushed right through it everyday, so it was more fuzz than wave. This time around, (I'll be 70 in a few weeks), I'm treating it as CURLY HAIR, and wow! It really is curly! It's very fun. A lovely (I think) salt and pepper. I've never seen so many curly hair videos and how-to's, so lots of women must be discovering the same thing... Thanks for sharing, Theresa!
Yep, didn't realize how curly my hair actually is. Always knew I had some curl in the back as hairdressers have been telling me that since I was a child. Took when I turned 52 or so that I was sick of my hair and tried improving health of my bleached hair and as it got healthy it got curly. I have curlier hair than this woman in the video, ringlets even lately 2c to 3a. Surprised me!
I am 40 have had straight hair all my life until about 3 years ago.. my hair started to get wavy. Recently, I've noticed it is getting curlier and curlier as I let it dry naturally. I have started to straighten my hair, until I decided TODAY that I will start embracing the curls. Now I'm on the search for the best way to work with my "new" curls and this is a great video to help me! Thank you so much!! Can't wait to try this method!
Well, Theresa, this is such a good look for you. I hadn't guessed you had curly hair and I can usually tell. I, too, have curly hair so can usually spot a sister! It is a more youthful look too. I always notice my lines and wrinkles more when my hair is straight. Perhaps the curls distract the eye! Welcome to the club!
Hi Karen - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Ps. You are SO right about straight hair drawing attention to wrinkles :) Hugs!
I am a fellow curly haired lady. I love my curls but a lot of people do not like having curly hair! 5 of my 8 kids have curly hair. The most beautiful curls! My 1 son died as a baby but he had long curly hair. My 17 yr old son hates his curly hair and gets it chopped off a lot. My oldest daughter has straightened hers so much the curls are gone. My other 2 daughters have beautiful long curly hair. 1 wears it down sometimes my other daughter wears hers up most always. I guess it is quite funny if you have curly hair you straighten it. If you have straight hair you curl it. I say just be happy with what God gave!.
Thank you! Like you, I didn't "get it" about curly hair and "scrunching" until later in life. Not a "girlie girl" so I had no one to help me figure this out. Cheers!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video! I have similar hair and for many years I thought my curl was lost due to years of straightening. I'm 50 and all of a sudden I haven't been able to style my hair in a way that I liked. My hairdresser told me I needed to use more product but I didn't know where to start. I followed your method exactly and it came out fabulous! It looks youthful again and it looks like I have tons of hair! You have helped me feel good about my hair and my appearance...you're a wonderful human being. Thank you!
I used to do my hair curly 15 years ago and used many of the same methods you do. But I did pick up on new methods such as the products you add in the shower. Thank you for the tips! It’s making me want to try making my hair curly again because I sure have a frizz ball on top of my head! Ps- you’re a gorgeous lady! I hope to age as gracefully as you one day :-)
This is hands down the best and most useful video I have ever watched. I have been wanting to learn how to better handle my giant ball of fuzzy hair and you came in at the right time!
Awww thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments. I am SO happy that you found this video helpful. The struggle is REAL with textured fuzzy hair right?! This method has worked better for me than any other that I have tried in my 60 years :)
Theresa I watched this thinking 'we it's ok for her she is in her forties'. I was blown away when you said you were almost 60!!! Just found your channel and as a curly haired 60+ I can't wait to binge watch you vlogs, especially in a very rainy Sunday in France.! x
I am 40 years old. I had curly hair as a child and teen. Now at 40 my hair seems to be straight and maybe slight waves. I appreciate this video and you look so great !
Theresa, you are a dynamo! What a wonderful, clear, unapologetic look at hair design and daily joy. Your presentation was truly spot on. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
From one curly girl to another.....you look absolutely AMAZING!! You were right in saying that what works for one may not work for another. I use far less products because I have low to med density hair. I always clarify at least once a month and have my ends trim about every 8 to 12 weeks. Takes a little bit of work to keep those curly locks looking good but well worth the effort. Congrats on your new look!!
just found this video and all I can say is "Thank you" I have curly hair and had no idea how to bring my curls back, I will def try this. You look beautiful
When I first started watching your videos I had a sneaking suspicion that you were actually a curly girl. I, like you, forced my hair straight my entire life up until about 3 years ago. I stopped fighting it, with all the heat and humidity here in Louisiana, I realized it was a losing battle I was tired of fighting and embraced my natural hair pattern and now I’ve been doing curly girl method for almost 3 years. Your hair looks AMAZING! love it! I know for me, it feels so nice to just finally embrace my hair and let it be what it wants to be, and now it’s more curly than I ever thought my hair could be. Thanks for sharing!
My hair looks AMAZING!!! I still took like an hour to blow dry it on cold because it's so thick, but it's not frizzy or poofy or wirey. It's curly and pretty!!!
I looked at your Thumbnails shots of all your other videos and it looks like you are getting younger with each video you post. Your hair looks absolutely amazing. You really look so much younger with doing it this way!
I have super thick hair that's very curly in the back, but straighter on the top layer. I'm going to try your method to see what it does for me. Thanks so much for helping those of us with super thick hair!
Squish to condish!! Made me giggle, and what a great way to help me remember to do it. And may I add, to this Aussie here, your accent (and actually your entire energy) is absolutely charming. Thank you for this video. PS you look gorgeous, youthful, feminine. I nearly fell over when you said you were nearly 60!
OMG, your Curly Girl tutorial has been an absolute game changer. I’m 60 and now will be able to wear my hair in its natural state. Your technique is of using the products and diffuser so specifically is just plain obvious, with hindsight! Thank you so very much. Your new fan from Australia 🇦🇺👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Mary - thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments! My only regret is that I did not try this method myself YEARS ago. All of the "curly girl" tutorial videos at the time were of "20 somethings" that had perfect hair, so I did'nt think it would work on my aging hair. PS. a trip to Australia is on my bucket list! Hugs from New Jersey :)
Your hair is amazing and you are so beautiful! My pin straight hair turned wavy in middle school and I straightened it ever since, which propelled me into a damaging cycle. I’d grow it out while straightening it all the time and then have to cut it off because of the damage. Rinse, repeat. With the curly girl method my hair is no longer an unmanageable fluff ball! Thanks for the tips 💜
You just popped up in my feed, and we’re freaking hair sisters! Mine is about 6” longer, but otherwise same thickness, same texture, same issues! 😮 I’ve spent the last year on yard work and painting my new/old house, so I’ve been living in a frizzy ponytail or bun all this time - can’t wait to try this soon. Ive obviously seen the curly method a lot, but NEVER with hair that was as thick as mine. THANKS for sharing!! ❤️
Your hair is exactly like mine. I'm soon to be 66, and can barely control mine; though my hairdresser can, beautifully. I need tips desperately! Your hair looks fabulous!
You do the best job of explaining how to do this! I love that you didn't speed it up so fast we couldn't tell what was going on! Can't wait to try this! I used to have the best curls but now my hair is so unhealthy it's just frizz everywhere! I'm so excited to try the curly girl method!♥️
The best thing I learned from this video and I've used it since the first time I watched it, is rinsing the conditioner. I spent so much time fussing with splashing water on my hair to try to rinse out sone of it, but leave some in while doing all that squishing ( as I've seen demonstrated in virtually all CGM videos). It took FOREVER. Now I rinse the conditioner, and if I feel like it I will add a tiny bit to the end and do the little bit of splashing which is a fraction of what it needed before. Thank you so much!
I've been straightening my hair for years. I'll try your method and see if I can get it to look as beautiful as yours. Thank you very much for such a fantastic video x
At first you will find it irritating because you are habituated to brushing your curls or not using leave-in, etc… but with two to three washes you will be ok. Remember not to brush your curls when its dry and always scrunch the products in.
Thank you for this video - I have naturally curly hair that I hated so most of my life have styled it straight. The whole point of going curly to me is to reduce the time needed to style hair - I watched many curly girl videos and they were just too much work. Your video is the only one I've seen that really boils down the process of how, when and what to use and so clearly explains how to get lift on the top and how to tweak once dry. I used your tips yesterday (without diffusing) and ended up with perfect not frizzy curls!!
Wow your hair looks amazing,those curls are perfect. I'm wearing my hair a lot longer these days and wonder if I can still get my hair as curly as this and you've inspired me to try. Great video thankyou
I'm going shopping tomorrow!! Great video. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your method can help this 68 yrs old dull dry curly hair! It use to be mega thick, but no more😢.
I just cut my hair short for the first time in iver 15 years and I have the same hair as you. Thick. Super thick. And it's high humidity here always. Thank you so much. ❤
Hi Mindy - I used to think that I was the only one with this particular hair type. SO many of you ladies have said that you have the exact same hair type and texture! People with thin hair will often say that we are "lucky" to have super thick hair, and to a degree I suppose they are right. BUT - the time and effort that goes into making our hair type look half way descent is the draw back.
Some videos I just can't stick around for - but I enjoyed watching yours. Your hair is beautiful and worth the time. Your video is direct, focused on what you're doing, and very informative. Not a lot of unnecessary chatter. Thanks!
Not sure how I missed your video over the last 2 yrs! Just wanted to say Thank you for such a complete styling video for us fuzzy/frizzy girls! My hair is exactly like yours (colicky included..haha) and I am now 60 as well. Like you I had no idea how to work with my hair except to smooth, iron and heat style into submission. While I do love a polished look, I have been trying for quitesome time to embrace my natural hair and trying to keep it healthy as the clock keeps ticking. I have been frustrated so much with trial and error to only end up pulling my hair back every day! I miss wearing it down. I will definitely tweak my curly girl routine to try yours! Today is my wash day! Yay to you!!❤
Hi Coleen - thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments. For years I thought I had to be the only one with this crazy hair combo of frizzy/fuzzy/wavy. Discovering this method has been a GAME CHANGER for me. Fingers crossed that you get great results!
@TheresaRene360 I was missing the mousse step today, but applied ALOT more gel than I normally do on dripping wet hair, and it turned out really good! Got a great compliment from my friend un-advertised..haha. so that's a WIN! A light trim to shape things up and I think I might be on the RIGHT track! Thank you! Thank you!
awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Ps. I was SHOCKED the first time I tried this method. Nothing had ever worked on my hair without massive use of heat tools. I didn't even realize I HAD curl :) Hugs!
Same here, thick, curly, middle aged hair. I'm also Hispanic, and conditioners, mousse etc. were never adequate. What finally got my hair under control was trying "black" hair products. Argan oil has done the trick!
Theresa, thanks so much for this great video and links to the products you use. I am 56 and have the same hair as you. Thick, curly and a LOT of hair! The clips and plop dry method is awesome. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
I love that you show this with simple drugstore products and not outrageously expensive hair products from Sophora. As another GenX, I am not buying $60 mousse or $100 conditioner…I can, but no way!
I use the curly girl method using inexpensive products and have embraced my natural hair colour, tinsel and all, lol but I love how much healthier my hair feels and how it has brought out such lovely waves and curls and I don’t have to deal with my old floofy cotton candy hair! Your hair results are simply gorgeous! I have been doing it for two years now and I would never switch back. I hope you enjoy your hair journey, even though you are already beautiful inside and out :)
Hi Sheila - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. "Cotton Candy hair" LOL that is SO my hair if I just wash it and air dry it! Hugs
Finally!!!!!! I found someone who speaks the exact language of my hair. Your every single word was about my hair. And I am so thankful for this video. The hard part for me will now be to find good products in France, where I am now. In the last year I have spend soooo much money for products that are just not working for me and this also because I followed advices and recommendations from people who had not my hair type.
WOW- your hair looks amazing. How did you ever come up with that entire hair care system? You look beautiful and have lovely skin, as well. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic. I really liked that. I'm 54 and have had short hair most of my life. I now have shoulder length hair. It's curly. I never knew. Thanks for the RUclips. I can make it look good now.
I really needed this!! I'm a 37yo mom and I used to have gorgeous ringlets but now it's nearly straight, curly and wavy.. very unhealthy and greasy yet dry. I need a good hair cut too.. Excited to have this info so I may get my curls back in a few months or so. Thanks! ❤️✨ Edit: What shower brush do you recommend? Should I get a denmen or just a regular frizz tamer brush? Btw I love that you use actual AFFORDABLE products instead of $25 gels, oils, etc. You look devine 🙌
Thank You soooo much for breaking this all down in a logical, easy to follow way. I am about your age & Have same thick crazy hair like you. I am going to try your method!
Hi Kathy - thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comments. Discovering this method has been a game changer for me. I only wish that I had tried it YEARS ago. Fingers crossed that you get good results when you try it. Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday!
Hello👋 I have gone through some of your comments I found out their great I feel we should get to know each other. You must understand that I don't mean to be rude in any way nor come here to embarrass you but all I just want is to get to know you, don't know how you feel about this hope you don't mind let me know what you think, love to get a positive reply from you🙏🙏🙏
Wow! 😮 It’s gorgeous 🤩 I didn’t know I had wavy hair until I was in my early 70’s! Crazy huh? My hair is thick but not quite as thick as yours. I’m definitely going to try your method. Thanks for the instruction 👍🏻🥰
You look so lifted! This is great inspiration for curlies! I wish my mother would quit straightening her hair, because I know the curls would be so flattering to her.
Join me on Instagram!

I have always had CURLY/FRIZZY hair. I read the book Curly Girl, bu have not tried this. It appears to be fairly time consuming. How often do you wash/dry your hair?
I wish my hair was still that thick!! It has thinned so much..
I noticed you used Treseme hair product. Did you know that there are law suits against that brand for hair loss? I used the shampoo and conditioner for a long time but I stopped. I'm wanting to try the Dream Wow product. They say it is wonderful...
Hello
@@SometimeAgo65 I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I don't but my mom uses this brand. 🙈
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the detailed video
You look amazing! I am 58 and it is so refreshing to see a middle aged woman give this presentation. I have very thick hair also and I am going to try this method. My crown is thinning out but I think this will help my hair to be much healthier. Thank you! You look much younger than 60! I was surprised.
Hi Angel - aww thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments! Hugs
I have naturally curly/wavy hair that I am growing out of a pixie cut. I will try this method tomorrow when I wash my hair. I currently use shampoo conditioner and then curly mousse and the diffuser, but it is different when your hair is short and very thick. I have never thought about using gel but I will pick some up. I use a little bit of leave in hair cream to make my hair less crunchy at the end. It usually stays good for 3 days and then I do a refresh so that I only wash it once or sometimes twice a week .
You look fabulous.
Estradiol for your hair. I've been taking it for 37 years. I have thick hair.
Hello good will prevail, your comment about the hair on your crown thinning out definitely caught my attention. You can solve that by taking estradiol ( and progesterone if you have a uterus) I bring up this topic with every lady lately because I finally found out that's what's been going wrong with me and my doctors had no clue. Find menopause taylor here on RUclips she will teach you. There are a few reasons for women thinning hair but the biggest reason is the lack of estradiol do to ovary aging.
Of course taking estradiol also stops hot flashes night sweats stop osteoporosis and many other good health benefits
Using this as a 15 year old with incredibly thick, poofy, and frizzy hair. Love this
I’m 30 and I wish I had known this at 15. I was bullied horribly for my hair. It was so poofy and frizzy. No form what so ever. It was worse than the video thumbnail. Still is
"A month of Sundays for my hair to dry" love that! Takes my hair forever to dry, too.
My hair is thin and fine....wow, what I wouldn't give for your beautiful thick hair! 😍
ME TOO !!!!!!!❤😅
I lost 75 percent of my hair due to high fever with covid. (2 Mos later) Dermatologist told me to use Vivascal. It's pretty natural. It worked. Now I have CURLY hair😂.... result of genetics and high fever apparently.
My hair is fine & worse after menopause
I'd give anything to have thick hair.
I’m thrilled that CURLY/WAVY hair is ‘in’! Finally I can be me, and not ruin my hair by chemically straightening it!
Finally, someone with thick hair! The amounts you use are realistic for me and it is good to know I am not alone. Thanks!
I'm 59, I have curly hair, and yes my hair is aging, it's dull looking, I will be trying your method, you're a beautiful lady inside and out, Thanks
FINALLY!!! Someone who actually has cowlicks teaches how to correct them!! THANK YOU! ❤
I let my hair dry with the shirt wrapped around it overnight. Cuts way down on the diffusing afterwards. Best video on plopping I have seen.
I have your exact hair type. Been fighting with it for 60 years. Tried many products but my technique has been all wrong. Thank you so much for revolutionizing my hair routine! Just turned 60 but will have the best hair of my life.!
I also am...over 60 with curly hair that is all gray now; I use a similar method but if I run out of gloss I use baby oil in a pinch. Love the look. I get compliments all the time but I think I look like an aged 80's rocker!
It's a little disappointing that we have to contrive to get that natural look! But I can't be bothered to blow dry every day.
I'm going to try this! My entire life my hair has been fuzzy and frizzy and "not straight". When I would tell hair stylists that the underside was wavy they would tell me wavy hair wasn't a thing. 🤷🏻♀️
Luster's Pink products aren't really obscure. They're made to care for hair of African heritage...and they're a proudly owned African-American company. 🥰 I never considered that my Mediterranean heritage might be the reason I needed a different product for my hair. I have spent my life using products made for flaxen, shiny straight hair. Not for coarse, wiry, textured hair. I'm really glad you tried this shine product and it worked. I am going to try, too!
I’m glad I found this! I’ve never met anyone with hair as thick as mine. Exactly what I need.
awww thanks so much for your kind comment. Ps. I used to think that I was the ONLY one who hair quite like this, but in doing this video, so many ladies have said that they have the EXACT same hair.
That bathroom is nothing like 1980. It's more like 2010. No worries anyway. We're here for your fabulous hair!
I like the blue 🙈
I am 71 and have thick longer hair. Have always blown it straight (grew up wanting to be a surfer girl). My hairdresser was surprised recently with the amount of curl underneath the top layer of hair. Next time I'm going to talk to her about the curl. I'm also going to try some of the products you use and will try your process. Glad I came across this video. I was impressed by how you presented your process...good job!
This is hands down THE BEST CGM on RUclips.
The clipping on the calyxe and throughout is genius, and your curls are absolutely beautiful ❤️🙏
Thank you so much for this and the affordable products for us "normal" folks lol
Awwww...thanks so much for your kind comments. I almost did not film this one because there were SO many videos on RUclips about this process. I decided to film it anyway to show a "regular" person using affordable and easy to find products. Hugs
Supera todas las otras explicaciones, gracias, aquí, Argentina,solo "algunos"productos de 3emme,.,. muy pocos con los requisitos..,
As soon as you lifted and clipped your bang area, it looked more attractive instantly!
I can't even believe how much that curly hair makes you look fresh and young! It makes your eyes light up! I m going to try some of this for my son's crazy hair.
Hi Liza - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
Hello Liza
Been doing a similar routine for many many years. So glad that we curly girls are finally embracing our curls and learning how to get rid of the frizz. Thanks for showing the process in detail I think it will really help us gals fight the frizz
About to turn 60??! You look amazing, wow! 🙌🏻🇦🇺
It's so nice seeing someone doing this with pounds of hair like me! This was super helpful seeing the full process, thank you!
The struggle is REAL with this much hair right?!
Thank you for showing us how beautiful your hair can be when its aging . I'm 51 and have the same type of hair you do . I never had the courage to do anything other than straighten it . Your hair looks fab and you look amazing so I'm going to have a crack at and see if I can reach the same effect. God bless 😍✨✨✨✨✨
45yr old who's just recently learned I have curly/wavy hair not just frizz. After weeks of research this is by far the best video on cgm & relatable, so thank you. I tried your method today & I'm so happy with the result after 1 attempt.
I am SO glad to hear that you found this video helpful! This method has been a GAME CHANGER for me :)
I've watched a ton of curly girl method videos and actually tried it for awhile but then gave up on it and resorted to pulling my hair back:(
Your video is the most common sense, detailed and helpful explanation I've seen. I really appreciated the product suggestions that don't cost a fortune.
After watching this, I am inspired to give the curly girl method another try.
Thank you, Theresa!
Me too
Your hair looks beautiful and healthy! I noticed mine went frizzy in my 50s, 53 now. I am surprised at how much product is needed, as well as the time and effort, but you achieve amazing results without damaging your hair, like so many other methods.
Theresa, this hairstyle is perfect for you! What a transformation! I also have a ton of heavy, thick hair that is frizzy. When my hair air dries, I look like Roseanne Roseannadanna from SNL. I'm going to try your method to see if I have some hidden curls. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Hi Ashley - SAME!!!!!! The "before" photo in my thumbnail is exactly what my hair does if I just wash it and let it "air dry". I also get the Roseanne Roseannadanna triangle of frizz :). When I tried this method for the fist time recently, I was SHOCKED that it actually worked. Now I don't use heat tools on my hair (not an option before!) and it feels SO much healthier :) Hugs
Roseanne Roseannadanna Here, too. Gonna try this soon.
Lol. We who are ‘of a certain age’ reference Roseanne Roseannadanna. I’ve heard the kids just say Christmas tree. 🌲
hahaha EXACTLY the reference I always make, especially if I don’t have enough layers in my hair! 😁
Try Ouidad products. The leave in conditioner and the heat and humidity gel. On wet hair. Finger comb, no brushes. Should sound squishy like hers. Let it dry. You will be shocked
Beautiful and affordable…Thank You. I have been straightening my hair for years (400.00 +/- each time) but am going back to curly. I am a senior citizen so your video helped me a great deal.
You have exactly the same hair as me - down to the fact it takes hours to dry naturally.
Going to try this. Thanks
This is such a game changer 🙏🏻 I have seen this technique so many times but the step by step you showed here worked exactly as you described... I was in shock actually. Thank you so so much 🎉
Wow! I'm 69 and have shoulder arthritis now. I've gotten more compliments on my curly hair! Thank you for such a great video. You explain and showed the steps you take so well! 🙂🌻
Hello Shirley
I've been watching curly hair videos on RUclips for years, and this video is by far the best that I've seen! It includes every step from start to finish, has great information, and it's very clearly spoken. Excellent! I'm close to your age, however I have fine, thinning, curly hair that can be a struggle. Thank you for this video! I'll be watching your others, as well!
Aww thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments 😀
Absolutely gorgeous! You look stunning…and your hair looks so much healthier! I’m going to try what you did and see what happens.
Hi Karen - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Ps. It's worth a try right?!
I was surprised by the results I got :) Hugs!
Va Va Voom!! Absolutely beautiful.
Totally agree!!! Beautiful. And not just the hair!
Hello Karen
Stunning?
I've got to say that this is the simplest, clearest explanation of the technique and the "why's" that I've come across yet...and in studying CGM for over a year now, I've seen TONS of videos! Thank you for this!! Also, you inspire me because our hair is so similar. I'm the same age and my hairs are more thin, but I have a huge head of hair! Because I have so much hair I've been thinning it out (especially in this year's insanely hot summer). I'm kind of wishing I hadn't now, cuz your's looks so amazing!
Thank you for this video, I had fallen off the CGM wagon recently but I'll get back on :)
Beautiful.
I've had curly hair my whole life & yes it took quite a few years to come to terms with it. Yes I use a leave-in conditioner after washing, & also don't brush out my hair every night - just turns back into frizz! I give it a good brush before washing it to get out loose hairs. However I don't go through the t-shirt routine! After the leave-in, I just air-dry my hair & floof it up every 15 mins or so, & never use a hair-dryer (but I live in a warm climate). I only wash my hair every 4/5 days. But the MOST important thing is to find a hairdresser who knows how to cut curly hair- it's an art, & if your hairdresser is cutting your curly hair like straight hair, it ain't going work. Good luck fellow Curly-Tops!
I love curly hair!! It's so beautiful. Mine is half curly and half wavy, so I really have to work with it. My granddaughters have gorgeous long, curly hair and of course they wanted it straightened for years. They have finally embraced the curls though 😊❤️❤️
It is a MAJOR CHALLENGE to find a hair dresser who understands curly hair and knows how to cut it.
Wow! Your hair looks amazing! I’m 54. My hair is similar. Very thick and wavy. But it varies -- very curly on the bottom, but more straight on top. I tend to just put in back in a pony tail because I don’t know how to style it. I went to a curly girl stylist once that charged $200 to show me how to hold curls, but my hair just looked and felt wet. I’m going to try this!
Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comments. We are practically twins! The "curl pattern" in my hair is irregular and erratic as . Over the years I have considered going to a stylist that specializes in styling this type of hair. I would'nt want my finished style to look or feel wet either....uggghhh. I hope that you get AMAZING results with this method, this was a game changer for me :).
Great idea about using the clips near the roots so it lifts in that area! Theresa that look is YOUR look now. It suits you so WELL!😍🙂😍 Beautiful.
Hi Sheila - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
I have done that with clips also as I don't blow dry and it really lifts those roots! So excited to try this method!
Hello
Perfect video for us curly-haired folks. I’ve watched a lot of these. Thanks so much.
I have fine, straight hair, so there's no way any of your video would apply to me. BUT, I couldn't stop watching and listening, as I so appreciate your talent for making great, informative videos, as well as your attention to the details. Thanks so much for your work!
Hi Loretta - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
Hello👋 I have gone through some of your comments I found out their great I feel we should get to know each other. You must understand that I don't mean to be rude in any way nor come here to embarrass you but all I just want is to get to know you, don't know how you feel about this hope you don't mind let me know what you think, love to get a positive reply from you🙏🙏🙏
I'm 56 and have curly hair to my waist. I'm going to try this. I normally just use a pick to get out snarls and apply a leave in conditioner. Then I do not comb or brush it til its time to wash it, otherwise I would look like your thumbnail on the left, but 3 times longer. Its fun to learn new things.
Hi Stacy - I also don't comb or brush my hair between wash days, I just "finger comb" to keep snarls out 😀
OMG- I have been doing this to my curly hair for about 25 years .. I have never seen anyone else do it the same way as me.. It took me 30 years of trial and error before I figured out how to take care of my curls with doing this routine...
The only thing I do differently is, I wrap my hair in a white cotton t-shirt straight out of the shower but I am going to try your method with the long sleeve tshirt ..
Thank you for making my day, I thought I was the only one who had a weird hair care routine and that nobody would understand why I go thru all these steps when most people can wash and dry their hair in a few minutes...
ALso, I only wash my hair once per week... My hair is way too dry to wash it more often than that!
Hi Rhonda - thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comments. I wish I had tried this method YEARS ago. I know EXACTLY what you mean about other people not understanding what we have to go thru to get our hair to look descent. I envy ladies that can just wash their hair and let it "air dry". My hair looks exactly like the "before" picture in the thumbnail for this video when I do that. Fuzzy triangle head :) Hugs!
@@TheresaRene360 I wish curly hair care was taught in beauty school so they know not to scrub the ends of curly hair during shampooing. They just don't understand that when rinsing the shampoo off the scalp that the ends will get clean from the run off. Nor do they know that curly hair does not produce enough oils to reach to the end of the hair shift.
Whoever cuts your hair does a fantastic job, your layers are perfect!! I have a hard time finding someone who can layer my hair correctly.
Your natural hair is GORGEOUS
Finally a mature CG video! Great job. You’d also look amazing with natural color imo. I already know the method, you did a great job explaining and demonstrating.
YES!!!! I'm so glad I found this.
I'm almost 40 and no longer have curls like I did in my 20's.
Going to follow these directions I'm hopes I can bring some of those lovely ringlets back! ❤️
Free Range…..hang in there. I have had straight ash blonde hair my whole life. Now, in my older years I’m dealing with wavy, curly hair.
My hairdresser our hair is subject to change during our lifetime. So, your curls just may come back.
Excellent tutorial! The best I’ve ever watched. I’ve wanting to
try this for so long but have failed every time. You have shown me why. Thank you!
What a fantastic video! You did a great job of explaining the process and your hair looks amazing! Good for you figuring out how to do that and so helpful of you to share what you’ve mastered with the rest of us.
awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
Bravo! I’m happy you joined the club. I’ve been doing this for about a year and a half. The longer you keep at it, the curlier your hair will become. Yours is beautiful now!
Great video! During last year's lockdown, I let my super-short pixie (of many, many years) grow out--glad I didn't have to go out that much during the process! Anyway, I always thought I had semi-wavy hair. It's quite thick. Well, when I wore it very long in my 20s and 30s, I brushed right through it everyday, so it was more fuzz than wave. This time around, (I'll be 70 in a few weeks), I'm treating it as CURLY HAIR, and wow! It really is curly! It's very fun. A lovely (I think) salt and pepper. I've never seen so many curly hair videos and how-to's, so lots of women must be discovering the same thing... Thanks for sharing, Theresa!
Yep, didn't realize how curly my hair actually is. Always knew I had some curl in the back as hairdressers have been telling me that since I was a child. Took when I turned 52 or so that I was sick of my hair and tried improving health of my bleached hair and as it got healthy it got curly. I have curlier hair than this woman in the video, ringlets even lately 2c to 3a. Surprised me!
LOL my gray hair came in curly too, shocker 😂😂😂
I am 40 have had straight hair all my life until about 3 years ago.. my hair started to get wavy. Recently, I've noticed it is getting curlier and curlier as I let it dry naturally. I have started to straighten my hair, until I decided TODAY that I will start embracing the curls. Now I'm on the search for the best way to work with my "new" curls and this is a great video to help me! Thank you so much!! Can't wait to try this method!
Well, Theresa, this is such a good look for you. I hadn't guessed you had curly hair and I can usually tell. I, too, have curly hair so can usually spot a sister! It is a more youthful look too. I always notice my lines and wrinkles more when my hair is straight. Perhaps the curls distract the eye! Welcome to the club!
Hi Karen - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Ps. You are SO right about straight hair drawing attention to wrinkles :) Hugs!
Hello
Her curls are pretty ❤
I am a fellow curly haired lady. I love my curls but a lot of people do not like having curly hair! 5 of my 8 kids have curly hair. The most beautiful curls! My 1 son died as a baby but he had long curly hair. My 17 yr old son hates his curly hair and gets it chopped off a lot. My oldest daughter has straightened hers so much the curls are gone. My other 2 daughters have beautiful long curly hair. 1 wears it down sometimes my other daughter wears hers up most always. I guess it is quite funny if you have curly hair you straighten it. If you have straight hair you curl it. I say just be happy with what God gave!.
Thank you! Like you, I didn't "get it" about curly hair and "scrunching" until later in life. Not a "girlie girl" so I had no one to help me figure this out. Cheers!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video! I have similar hair and for many years I thought my curl was lost due to years of straightening. I'm 50 and all of a sudden I haven't been able to style my hair in a way that I liked. My hairdresser told me I needed to use more product but I didn't know where to start. I followed your method exactly and it came out fabulous! It looks youthful again and it looks like I have tons of hair! You have helped me feel good about my hair and my appearance...you're a wonderful human being. Thank you!
Totally resonates with me
I used to do my hair curly 15 years ago and used many of the same methods you do. But I did pick up on new methods such as the products you add in the shower. Thank you for the tips! It’s making me want to try making my hair curly again because I sure have a frizz ball on top of my head! Ps- you’re a gorgeous lady! I hope to age as gracefully as you one day :-)
This is hands down the best and most useful video I have ever watched. I have been wanting to learn how to better handle my giant ball of fuzzy hair and you came in at the right time!
Awww thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments. I am SO happy that you found this video helpful. The struggle is REAL with textured fuzzy hair right?! This method has worked better for me than any other that I have tried in my 60 years :)
Theresa I watched this thinking 'we it's ok for her she is in her forties'. I was blown away when you said you were almost 60!!! Just found your channel and as a curly haired 60+ I can't wait to binge watch you vlogs, especially in a very rainy Sunday in France.! x
I am 40 years old. I had curly hair as a child and teen. Now at 40 my hair seems to be straight and maybe slight waves. I appreciate this video and you look so great !
Try the curly girl method. It will enhance your slight waves. Maybe even bring back your curls again.
Loved this guided video ! Your hair is exactly like mine, and got some really great tips from you !! Thank you for being here. I am 63 yrs old.
I love how your hair looks here. Even makes you look 10 years younger. Soooo cute. I’m going to try it.
Theresa, you are a dynamo! What a wonderful, clear, unapologetic look at hair design and daily joy. Your presentation was truly spot on. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Hi Elle - aww thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments 😀 Hugs
From one curly girl to another.....you look absolutely AMAZING!! You were right in saying that what works for one may not work for another. I use far less products because I have low to med density hair. I always clarify at least once a month and have my ends trim about every 8 to 12 weeks. Takes a little bit of work to keep those curly locks looking good but well worth the effort. Congrats on your new look!!
Hi Connie and Curly Girl Sister! awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
just found this video and all I can say is "Thank you" I have curly hair and had no idea how to bring my curls back, I will def try this. You look beautiful
When I first started watching your videos I had a sneaking suspicion that you were actually a curly girl. I, like you, forced my hair straight my entire life up until about 3 years ago. I stopped fighting it, with all the heat and humidity here in Louisiana, I realized it was a losing battle I was tired of fighting and embraced my natural hair pattern and now I’ve been doing curly girl method for almost 3 years. Your hair looks AMAZING! love it! I know for me, it feels so nice to just finally embrace my hair and let it be what it wants to be, and now it’s more curly than I ever thought my hair could be. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Anya - you are SPOT on with everything you said! You have gorgeous curly hair :)
My hair looks AMAZING!!! I still took like an hour to blow dry it on cold because it's so thick, but it's not frizzy or poofy or wirey. It's curly and pretty!!!
I looked at your Thumbnails shots of all your other videos and it looks like you are getting younger with each video you post. Your hair looks absolutely amazing. You really look so much younger with doing it this way!
I have super thick hair that's very curly in the back, but straighter on the top layer. I'm going to try your method to see what it does for me. Thanks so much for helping those of us with super thick hair!
Squish to condish!! Made me giggle, and what a great way to help me remember to do it. And may I add, to this Aussie here, your accent (and actually your entire energy) is absolutely charming. Thank you for this video. PS you look gorgeous, youthful, feminine. I nearly fell over when you said you were nearly 60!
OMG, your Curly Girl tutorial has been an absolute game changer. I’m 60 and now will be able to wear my hair in its natural state. Your technique is of using the products and diffuser so specifically is just plain obvious, with hindsight! Thank you so very much.
Your new fan from Australia 🇦🇺👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Mary - thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments! My only regret is that I did not try this method myself YEARS ago. All of the "curly girl" tutorial videos at the time were of "20 somethings" that had perfect hair, so I did'nt think it would work on my aging hair. PS. a trip to Australia is on my bucket list! Hugs from New Jersey :)
Your hair is amazing and you are so beautiful! My pin straight hair turned wavy in middle school and I straightened it ever since, which propelled me into a damaging cycle. I’d grow it out while straightening it all the time and then have to cut it off because of the damage. Rinse, repeat. With the curly girl method my hair is no longer an unmanageable fluff ball! Thanks for the tips 💜
awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. I agree, using a gentler approach to our hair is liberating :) Hugs!
This was a very well done video...all the steps are shown so it leaces no room for messing up! You look great 😊
You just popped up in my feed, and we’re freaking hair sisters! Mine is about 6” longer, but otherwise same thickness, same texture, same issues! 😮 I’ve spent the last year on yard work and painting my new/old house, so I’ve been living in a frizzy ponytail or bun all this time - can’t wait to try this soon. Ive obviously seen the curly method a lot, but NEVER with hair that was as thick as mine. THANKS for sharing!! ❤️
Your hair is exactly like mine. I'm soon to be 66, and can barely control mine; though my hairdresser can, beautifully. I need tips desperately! Your hair looks fabulous!
Hello Donna
Omg Theresa !!! Your hair is gorgeous ! U look 10 years younger. Keep doing this style❤️
Hi Stacey - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
Finally found my tribe of thick, puffy , curly, frizzy people I have been looking for! Going to try this! Subscribed for the content and the comments.
YEY! I feel like I have found my tribe too! :)
You do the best job of explaining how to do this! I love that you didn't speed it up so fast we couldn't tell what was going on! Can't wait to try this! I used to have the best curls but now my hair is so unhealthy it's just frizz everywhere! I'm so excited to try the curly girl method!♥️
The best thing I learned from this video and I've used it since the first time I watched it, is rinsing the conditioner. I spent so much time fussing with splashing water on my hair to try to rinse out sone of it, but leave some in while doing all that squishing ( as I've seen demonstrated in virtually all CGM videos). It took FOREVER. Now I rinse the conditioner, and if I feel like it I will add a tiny bit to the end and do the little bit of splashing which is a fraction of what it needed before. Thank you so much!
I've been straightening my hair for years. I'll try your method and see if I can get it to look as beautiful as yours. Thank you very much for such a fantastic video x
Hello Diana
At first you will find it irritating because you are habituated to brushing your curls or not using leave-in, etc… but with two to three washes you will be ok. Remember not to brush your curls when its dry and always scrunch the products in.
Thank you for this video - I have naturally curly hair that I hated so most of my life have styled it straight. The whole point of going curly to me is to reduce the time needed to style hair - I watched many curly girl videos and they were just too much work. Your video is the only one I've seen that really boils down the process of how, when and what to use and so clearly explains how to get lift on the top and how to tweak once dry. I used your tips yesterday (without diffusing) and ended up with perfect not frizzy curls!!
Wow your hair looks amazing,those curls are perfect. I'm wearing my hair a lot longer these days and wonder if I can still get my hair as curly as this and you've inspired me to try. Great video thankyou
I'm going shopping tomorrow!! Great video. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your method can help this 68 yrs old dull dry curly hair! It use to be mega thick, but no more😢.
I have struggled with my natural curls all my life. Definitely trying your suggestions. Thank you!
Hello
I just cut my hair short for the first time in iver 15 years and I have the same hair as you. Thick. Super thick. And it's high humidity here always. Thank you so much. ❤
Hi Mindy - I used to think that I was the only one with this particular hair type. SO many of you ladies have said that you have the exact same hair type and texture! People with thin hair will often say that we are "lucky" to have super thick hair, and to a degree I suppose they are right. BUT - the time and effort that goes into making our hair type look half way descent is the draw back.
Some videos I just can't stick around for - but I enjoyed watching yours. Your hair is beautiful and worth the time. Your video is direct, focused on what you're doing, and very informative. Not a lot of unnecessary chatter. Thanks!
You have beautiful hair. I have frizzy curly hair. I need to try this method. Thanks for sharing
Wow your hair is absolutely gorgeous 🥰 I'm in my early 50's and my hair has thinned out so much I love your thick hair!
Not sure how I missed your video over the last 2 yrs! Just wanted to say Thank you for such a complete styling video for us fuzzy/frizzy girls! My hair is exactly like yours (colicky included..haha) and I am now 60 as well. Like you I had no idea how to work with my hair except to smooth, iron and heat style into submission. While I do love a polished look, I have been trying for quitesome time to embrace my natural hair and trying to keep it healthy as the clock keeps ticking. I have been frustrated so much with trial and error to only end up pulling my hair back every day! I miss wearing it down. I will definitely tweak my curly girl routine to try yours! Today is my wash day! Yay to you!!❤
Hi Coleen - thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments. For years I thought I had to be the only one with this crazy hair combo of frizzy/fuzzy/wavy. Discovering this method has been a GAME CHANGER for me. Fingers crossed that you get great results!
@TheresaRene360
I was missing the mousse step today, but applied ALOT more gel than I normally do on dripping wet hair, and it turned out really good! Got a great compliment from my friend un-advertised..haha. so that's a WIN! A light trim to shape things up and I think I might be on the RIGHT track! Thank you! Thank you!
Same here!
You look beautiful, curly hair is so flattering and youthful on you Theresa! Thank you for demonstrating how to achieve the look. :)
awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
Hello
Best video description I have seen! Love to see someone with thick hair. Can't wait to try this!
You hair looks gorgeous, I can’t wait to try this method on my thick coarse curly hair which I blow dry and flat iron on a weekly basis.
awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Ps. I was SHOCKED the first time I tried this method. Nothing had ever worked on my hair without massive use of heat tools. I didn't even realize I HAD curl :) Hugs!
Same here, thick, curly, middle aged hair. I'm also Hispanic, and conditioners, mousse etc. were never adequate. What finally got my hair under control was trying "black" hair products. Argan oil has done the trick!
SAME! The products in the "ethnic" section work SO much better on my hair too :)
I am so excited about trying your technique. I I never knew that you could handle your hair as you do. Looks fabulous!
My hair is a lot like yours. This method is great!
Theresa, thanks so much for this great video and links to the products you use. I am 56 and have the same hair as you. Thick, curly and a LOT of hair! The clips and plop dry method is awesome. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
I love that you show this with simple drugstore products and not outrageously expensive hair products from Sophora. As another GenX, I am not buying $60 mousse or $100 conditioner…I can, but no way!
I use the curly girl method using inexpensive products and have embraced my natural hair colour, tinsel and all, lol but I love how much healthier my hair feels and how it has brought out such lovely waves and curls and I don’t have to deal with my old floofy cotton candy hair! Your hair results are simply gorgeous! I have been doing it for two years now and I would never switch back. I hope you enjoy your hair journey, even though you are already beautiful inside and out :)
Hi Sheila - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. "Cotton Candy hair" LOL that is SO my hair if I just wash it and air dry it! Hugs
Finally!!!!!! I found someone who speaks the exact language of my hair. Your every single word was about my hair. And I am so thankful for this video. The hard part for me will now be to find good products in France, where I am now. In the last year I have spend soooo much money for products that are just not working for me and this also because I followed advices and recommendations from people who had not my hair type.
WOW- your hair looks amazing. How did you ever come up with that entire hair care system? You look beautiful and have lovely skin, as well. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Camille Hill
It's called the Curly Girl Method... you'll find a lot of videos about it on RUclips.
Fantastic. I really liked that. I'm 54 and have had short hair most of my life. I now have shoulder length hair. It's curly. I never knew. Thanks for the RUclips. I can make it look good now.
I really needed this!! I'm a 37yo mom and I used to have gorgeous ringlets but now it's nearly straight, curly and wavy.. very unhealthy and greasy yet dry.
I need a good hair cut too..
Excited to have this info so I may get my curls back in a few months or so.
Thanks! ❤️✨
Edit: What shower brush do you recommend? Should I get a denmen or just a regular frizz tamer brush?
Btw I love that you use actual AFFORDABLE products instead of $25 gels, oils, etc.
You look devine 🙌
Thank You soooo much for breaking this all down in a logical, easy to follow way. I am about your age & Have same thick crazy hair like you. I am going to try your method!
Hi Kathy - thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comments. Discovering this method has been a game changer for me. I only wish that I had tried it YEARS ago. Fingers crossed that you get good results when you try it. Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday!
Wow Theresa! You look 10 years younger!!! Beautiful 💖
Hi Linda - awwww....thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments. Hugs!
Hello👋 I have gone through some of your comments I found out their great I feel we should get to know each other. You must understand that I don't mean to be rude in any way nor come here to embarrass you but all I just want is to get to know you, don't know how you feel about this hope you don't mind let me know what you think, love to get a positive reply from you🙏🙏🙏
Wow! 😮 It’s gorgeous 🤩 I didn’t know I had wavy hair until I was in my early 70’s! Crazy huh? My hair is thick but not quite as thick as yours. I’m definitely going to try your method. Thanks for the instruction 👍🏻🥰
You look so lifted! This is great inspiration for curlies! I wish my mother would quit straightening her hair, because I know the curls would be so flattering to her.
