I'm so glad to find that someone has my exact hair type! The top of my hair seems to be straight and underneath I have the 2A/2B waves. I am really looking into the LA gel because my hair is also super curly when wet, but then flattens out when it's dry. Will be trying out your products to see how they work on my hair. Thank you so much for posting this video! PS: Your curls are to die for :)
Please help me, I don’t know if I have 2A or 2B, but I have tried sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and my hair look frizzy and the curl don’t hold, what I have to do?
@@dormirrelajado4688 I have similar hair & have been trying different curly girl approved products. What works best for my waves is Jessicurl, I love the rockin ringlets & spiralicious gel plus the deep conditioner & they have shampoos & conditioners. It always gives me the best definition without feeling producty & hardly have any frizz!
I've been watching videos for the last couple weeks and your hair is the closest i've seen to my hair. I've got to go back and write down the products.
I use organic African black soap for shampoo Maui conditioner and aloe vera and Shea moisturizer and dry with t-shirt or blow dry on low and my curls bounce girlll
I know this is an older video but this is one of the videos that led me to try Kinky-Curly products. Just because they are marketed to mostly type 4 hair, don’t let that make you think they are too heavy for type 2 hair. I absolutely love the Kinky-Curly Knot Today. Also, the Kinky-Curly Come Clean shampoo is excellent, especially if you have extremely hard water. And their Curling Custard leaves a cast that easily crunches out to the softest curls and waves that still hold. And they all smell great. I even sent an email to Ulta today asking them to carry these products.
I have long 2c-3a low porosity hair. I switch between SM JBCO shampoo, NYMN blonde moment shampoo (my hair is highlighted), and As I Am dry scalp cowash. I use Sally’s GVP Conditioning Balm as my rinse out conditioner, using the STC method. For deep conditioning, which happens once a week before shampooing, I switch between NYMN green matcha tea mask and SM Manuka honey and yogurt protein treatment. For all my stylers I rope and squish in. I apply them in this order KCKT (my holy grail leave-in), Deva Curl’s B’Leave in, switch between Pantene’s curl mousse and NYMN Blue Sea Kelp mousse, and lock it all in with LA Look’s Blue Sport Gel. I’ll plop in a T-shirt for 5-10 minutes, diffuse my roots, and let the rest dry in a bun on my head. I tend to wash at night. I know this seems like a lot of steps, but it’s what’s been giving me great hair days routinely. I can also stretch my wash days to day 4-5 with minimal refreshing.
I think I'm gonna try some of these products out! I usually only add in a little bit of coconut or rosehip oil as a leave-in-conditioner because I've found that most other hair products really break me out since my hair always ends up touching the sides of my face
I have the same hair type, and I have tried the curly girl method. The only thing that really helped me, from that method, was putting my product in on sopping wet hair, before it even has time to start getting frizzy. My curls are lacking as of late, and have become more of a loose wave. It's probably because my hair is almost to my butt now. I'm gonna order this product today, because I'm thinking maybe if I can get some weight off of it, it'd help bring back ringlets. I'm gonna try replacing my conditioner with this and see if that helps lighten it up. Also gonna thin it a little and trim my layers. I also use the LA Looks gel, it's awesome and cheap all you need the gel for is to create a cast that also helps prevent frizz while your hair dries, so this is perfect for that. It's not such a strong hold that it leaves your hair super stiff, even after scrunching it out, it's just enough to hold everything in place, but also easily scrunches out leaving soft curls. Some gel's that I've tried, that were more expensive than this was way too intense for the gel cast method, so if that's what you're wanting to try, definitely get the LA Looks gel.
Looking forward to trying this! I had the opposite problem, I had really long straight hair and got 12 inches cut off and it turned wavy! I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m hopeful for this cause your hair looks really similar to mine!
Your hair is sooo pretty 😍. It just looks so healthy and the haircut looks great on you. I wish I could pull off short hair, mine goes down to my waist. I have a similar hair pattern, just a little bit more wavy and sometimes I get some spirals so I'm thinking I'm a type 2b-2c. But I'm totally going to get the shampoo and gel. Hopefully it helps. Thanks so much for posting this video!!
I have a really similar hair texture to you too and I’ve noticed that every time I cut my hair a medium/short length (even if my ends are stringy and damaged) I lose a lot of my curl pattern. The longer my hair is for some reason, the more ringlets I have and the tighter my curl pattern is! So strange
The same thing happened to me I had really long loose curls/ways that I loved but my hair was so dead and dry that I finally gave in a cut 7inches off, I expected my waves to bounce up but the opposite happend, it started drying almost straight with a little wave and I was so upset because I had finally came to terms with my hair and was working with it naturally. So reccently even though it's almost back to my original length, I've just been blow drying it staight so I dont have to fight with it but I miss it and now I'm trying to find a way to bring it back, beacuse the potential is still there.
Viper.X yeah I’d definitely try this product and if you can use protein try the women to women naturals the gorgeous collection leave in conditioner! It gives me so much curl definition. I talk show it in my “how I refresh my curls” video if you’re interested ☺️ that with this conditioner is my favorite combo for giving me the MOST definition
Hello beautiful! I'm so thankful I stumbled upon your video. Finally someone with the same hair texture as me! For years I've tried all sorts of different hair products that NEVER worked. I used to use SheaMoisture products and like you, my hair would be SO frizzy! I had no idea why my hair wouldn't keep its wave despite all the wonderful reviews I heard about those products. Little did I know that these products were too heavy for my hair type :O Anyway, I wanted to know if you wash your hair every day with this styling technique. I know it's not good to wash your hair everyday, but I figured keeping gel in your hair for too long isn't necessarily a good thing either.
Hi!! I wash mine every 2-3 days depending on how long my curl definition will hold! I’m prob gonna do an updated video because I found a way to make the definition last several days as opposed to when I did this, they fell out the next morning! I found the problem!!🤗
Omgosh! Ordering this ASAP. I'm riding this struggle bus so hard right now! I've been doing curly girl for close to a year now and lately I can't get any definition, just frizz, frizz, FRIZZ! 😫 It's exhausting! I hope this product works as well for me! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Yay! Hopefully it helps! A product that also gives me CRAZY definition is the woman to woman naturals the gorgeous collection leave in conditioner! It has protein which helps hold your definition and enhance it 🖤 I use both products now☺️
I already have the gel but it said it was for sports so I never used it 😂 so at least that’s one of the products I can start using. But sadly I am just a teen so I can’t buy the leave in conditioner because my mother probably wouldn’t let me by it 😕 I wish I found this yesterday when my sister was asking me what I want for Christmas 😭😂
Had the same curls than you, bleached the shit out a couple years ago, they never came back. I even got a pixie cut and still...nothing. I think my texture changed but when I use gel in them, they do get curly. I don't understand my hair dang it.
Raleigh Aisha Relevo possibly! But it’s never consistent for me. I had short hair several years ago and had a tighter curl pattern so I thought that’s what would happen when I cut it again and my waves completely straightened out. So it’s hard to say
And is there any other place to order your kinky curly product and the LA sports gel? I have to order online because i think we dont have those in any shops here
Summer Rossi right. My hair is very soft and doesn’t really need a lot of conditioner or else it weighs it down and the curls fall out. But the curl enhancing product I’m using is technically a leave in conditioner I believe
@@raleighaisharelevo5859 and if you scalp is dry or irritated, use something made specifically for your scalp, for example i Have the maui moisture volcanic ash mask
Nooo! Don’t hate it! Curls are so beautiful! You just have to learn how to work with it 🤗 I’m still learning honestly and it can be frustrating but it’s so worth it once you get the hang of it. Just watch a TON of videos on RUclips of someone with your hair type and that will give you an idea of where to start ❤️

Valerie Aldous Awh yay! This comment is EXACTLY why I made this video! I hope it helped you❤️❤️ I’m obsessed with these products ☺️
It’s like I wrote this comment, my hair is the same! Curls well when wet but straightens when dry. Have you found anything that works??
Please help me, I don’t know if I have 2A or 2B, but I have tried sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and my hair look frizzy and the curl don’t hold, what I have to do?
Cosmo Girl try this routine. A leave in conditioner and then a gel to seal it! I also use the curls rock amplifier by tigi. It’s a great gel!

Omg! We have the same hair texture and cut! I typically use a leave-in and then the LA Sport gel on top as well. Too funny!
Sarah C awh that’s awesome!
I've been watching videos for the last couple weeks and your hair is the closest i've seen to my hair. I've got to go back and write down the products.
Susie W oh good! I know the struggle of not being able to find someone with your hair type so I hope this is helpful!❤️
I use organic African black soap for shampoo Maui conditioner and aloe vera and Shea moisturizer and dry with t-shirt or blow dry on low and my curls bounce girlll
Wow I use abs and Maui moisture conditioner too

Arti Patel oh interesting!
My low porosity hair is protein sensitive. Takes awhile to get wet & FOREVER to dry!! I found out the hard way by doing a protein treatment.

The longer my hair is for some reason, the more ringlets I have and the tighter my curl pattern is! So strange
It might be that your curl just starts a little lower on the head so your longer hair has more room to curl

Just finding this video:( but I agree, Kinky Curly Knot Today is great. Have you ever tried their Custard (aka Gel)? Thanks for caring to share.
created2worshipGOD I haven’t! But maybe I will . Love your username!🖤🖤
@@melindab :) Thanks.
I have similar hair texture. Love your videos!
Summer Rossi awh thank you so much!🖤
Thank you so much! Also I have the LA Looks gel as well and I got it for $1 at the dollar tree
Love your vids. Thank you for making them ☺️

You can make your own leave in conditioner 🙌🏻 just mix a little regular conditioner with water 😉
finally someone with the same hair as me. similar routine too, very funny
Do these products smell good just curious? Thanks for the tutorial the struggle is real. I love your hair it looks so pretty
Milagros Arango yes! I really love them! Especially that shampoo I used smells so good . I don’t feel like The LA sports gel really has a strong scent
Had the same curls than you, bleached the shit out a couple years ago, they never came back. I even got a pixie cut and still...nothing. I think my texture changed but when I use gel in them, they do get curly. I don't understand my hair dang it.
I have some waves and my hair is frizzy when i do this method I've tried everything
Hello there again! I have a question, do you think the length of your hair affects whether your hair becomes wavier? Or not?
Raleigh Aisha Relevo possibly! But it’s never consistent for me. I had short hair several years ago and had a tighter curl pattern so I thought that’s what would happen when I cut it again and my waves completely straightened out. So it’s hard to say
And is there any other place to order your kinky curly product and the LA sports gel? I have to order online because i think we dont have those in any shops here
Raleigh Aisha Relevo I’m honestly not sure 🙁
I didn’t see conditioner? Correct
Summer Rossi right. My hair is very soft and doesn’t really need a lot of conditioner or else it weighs it down and the curls fall out. But the curl enhancing product I’m using is technically a leave in conditioner I believe
Is it ok to use conditioner in ur scalp?!..cuz my salon keeps telling me not to
No, only use conditioner on the mid to ends
@@raleighaisharelevo5859 and if you scalp is dry or irritated, use something made specifically for your scalp, for example i Have the maui moisture volcanic ash mask
I have to or else my scalp is too dry and starts getting really oily right away.
Great video! I have natural curly hair but I hate it :(
Nooo! Don’t hate it! Curls are so beautiful! You just have to learn how to work with it 🤗 I’m still learning honestly and it can be frustrating but it’s so worth it once you get the hang of it.

Is it just me or you kind of look like Dove Cameron in some angles 😳
gtfograce Awh I’ve definitely never heard that before but I’ll take it! She’s so pretty🥰
You should try devacurl wavemaker.
I have I didn’t like it 😓 it wasn’t enough hold for my hair and it got super frizzy I think I wanna try one of their gels
