I know. I think I've blow dried my hair maybe 8 times in my entire life. I guess I don't have any fun, curly hair surprises in store for my limp noodle hair. 😢😂
I have curly hair, I've used a blow dryer maybe 2 times in my life (😂 to straighten my hair). Hearing that she's never air dried before threw me off my toilet seat
Mine doesn't puff unless i brush it as it dries off r after it's dry. Leave it alone after brushing it wet and shaking out ur waves it will lay perfect if u use hair oil after u towel dry
Yup! I have known I had curly hair since I was a child. But at 34, I just started to learn how to take care of it. I straightened it all my life. No one knew what to do with it. The only other person in my family with curly hair is my grandmother. But she only straightens it. Her parents were Arabic but pretended to be French when they came to the US. And my great grandmother saw the curly hair as something that could expose them, so she shamed my grandmother. Who in turn shamed me. Without really realizing what she was doing. Anyways, now I'm doing it correctly. And no more crazy poof hair after drying it! Which my family would make fun of me for and took as a sign my hair was unhealthy. I have had the same stylist for 15 years. She told me my hair was the healthiest she had ever seen it. I'm really happy I started this process.
@@user-sleepy33 They said "she never said curly" which is false. She said the word curly. Therefore, the original comment's "Maybe not curly, but definitely wavy" didn't come completely out of left field. And the original comment is not even saying something like "she claimed to have curly hair when it's not curly, it's wavy", they're reaffirming that "yes your hair type is indeed wavy, not curly". The context changes absolutely nothing. The whole video is about the "curly girl method", I wasn't unaware. Honestly, the only thing I'm confused about is why you wanted to respond to me.
@@inimene6my hair is super inconsistent too in texture. Get the right products for your hair! I can’t help you cause idk your actual hair, but just try some stuff out hehehe or ask a hair stylist or something hehe
As someone with 1b straight hair--my hair dries straight. I air dry it every day and always have. I can't even keep a curl if I DO heat it it. That's wavy hair, girl. - Love from the Straight hair gang.
My brain exploded today. I always thought I had fine dead straight hair. I can’t even keep a curl if I try to curl it. If I get a perm hair goes back to straight the next day. Fast forward till now I saw this video jokingly was like let me try this probably will be dead straight. My hair started waving and going into these curls by itself. I’ve never seen this much volume on my flat head in my life. I’m so confused. Do I have straight hair or wavy hair??? I’ve always let me hair air dry but before I would comb the heck out of it
YES. Yes. I wish I had even a little wave in my hair. Even set with heat, curls fall out within hours. The most curl I get is a little wavy piece by my ear... But it needs 90% humidity to show itself. 😅
Hey, I could you please tell me how to do it? ☺️ I think I kinda have it and they are wavy/curly but they are quite long (62cm) and heavy. I would really appreciate your help
@@emmalord9404look for tutorials specified in wavy hair, cuz many, like in this video use methods for curly hairs, which may help, but only to a certain extent, since it is still different
Hairstylist here 🙋🏽 and absolutely the right product will make all the difference. Look for light/medium hold styling cream (apply when damp) or even texture spray. The "air dry" styling creams by Redken is really good! Just don't over do it and avoid the leave on "conditioner things" lol they'll just weigh it down. Beautiful hair!!
This is what I needed to know! I have wavy hair like the lady in the video and it can sometimes take on a spiral shape in some parts of it. Thanks for the tips 🙂
could you maybe give me some tips please? I've also recently discovered that i have wavy hair, but it gets (kinda) straight after i brush it. Is that normal or does that mean my hair is actually straight? I'm just very confused please help 😭
@@User-lt1jjdon’t brush it except in the shower! Then when it’s damp and de-tangled, use a T shirt to scrunch your hair. Apply a curl cream and diffuse :) if your hair is thick and frizzy at times you can put a curl gel (a small amount) on after the cream. That’s my method! Works like a charm and makes my hair go from semi straight to CURLY curls.
It very well may have came with her hair dryer n she never used it or borrowed it or bought it also u b surprised by the number of ppl who dont know how to PROPERLY use a defuser

That’s good to know. I always thought I had straight hair, and I always wanted curly hair. Since my hair isn’t super wavy, the length would always weigh down any wave I had, until I got my hair layered. It started becoming more wavy, and now I leave my hair scrunched up every night, and my hair is super wavy in the morning
wavy hair is the best hair type for heatless curls!!!!! the initial take down ringlets are so elegant and as the hair falls it gradually goes into an 80s “girl next door” kind of vibe.
❤facts, I leave my hair to dry itself in a twisted bun and it forms cute barrel curls spiraling down, esp with some coconut oil, mostly on the ends, & a little on the middle. Lol
Yes! I'm a hair stylist. You can totally rock the wavy look! Less heat damage on your hair, too! You need to do what we call a cocktail. A creme leave in conditioner mixed with a gel or mouse. Works like a charm.
@Stella If you use gel, then you just mix the gel and leave in in your hand, rub together, and apply. (I find that the best way is this: post shower, take a dry towel, and flip head over and scrunch hair. Then apply product and scrunch again and air dry or diffuse.) It works great. If you're going to use a mouse, then yes, separately! I :) Also to note, I would brush hair before shower.. don't brush or comb through after cause it pulls the curls out.
@Celeste Essel I'm not a doctor...but yes, it could cause irritations on the skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and scalp. Any products you buy off of the shelf, even salon quality, are highly fragrance and packed with chemicals. I try to do as natural as possible. I have been using a company called Raw Hair Organics for any curly/wavy hair needs. It may not be the absolute cleanest, but way better than anything else I have found so far. It works great and no scent to cause irritations.
@@bshows14this. I’ve had pin straight frizzy hair since forever until i did this at like 30 and i realized i have wavy hair like beautiful waves if i dont brush post shower, air dry and sometimes do that hair cocktail (that i didn’t know was called a cocktail but learned on youtube) i had a lot of trial and error with the products since my scalp suffers from dermatitis and my hair is thin but greasy but finally settled on a not too heavy leave in with mousse and it does the trick! So yes by experience this is amazing advice ❤❤❤
I never found out because my hair was always “unruly” so I brushed and straightened and killed it for years. One time I was with a group and we decided to impulsively buy a slip n slide and dump a ton of dawn on it. Well we did. My hair was so dry at the end and my friend who has coils was like, so distraught over how dry my hair looked, she had brought her leave in conditioner. She told me to just bare with her and use it, she said to just scrunch it in for more even application and sure enough beautiful defined 3b-3c curls popped right on up. She like freaked out and dragged me straight to her house. It’s one of my best memories because for the next like week I basically lived at her house because she wanted to help me with my hair. She never had a sister, and mine was like 15 years younger than me so I never had an older sister, so we got to play those roles for a while and we’re still playing them. Simple memories are the best ones ❤️
That’s the sweetest thing ever!! 🥹 I have very, very curly hair, but it was straight up until I was about 13 or so, and it’s been a real challenge to manage!! I finally have it under control and I have a lot of customers at work, as well as people in the wild, who ask me how exactly I maintain it so well. A few months ago, I had a customer with pin-straight hair tell me she had a daughter with hair like mine and she was at her wit’s end trying to manage it. I gave her my advice and then I didn’t see this lady again until last week, when she told me her daughter’s hair is absolutely thriving the way I suggested she do it!! 🥹
Okay I’m searching through the comments for “the right things” because when I let my hair air dry sometimes I’m obsessed with the natural curls/waves that form but I need to know what to use/ what process to make this consistent!
Stop... she used a METHOD to get it that way. Just like I don't walk around claiming my hair is straight when I use a straightener to get it that way. Let's be real now.
@@StephanieLinda_ girl I have cousins with straight hair and no matter how many methods and curl products they use, it'll never hold a curl naturally. This girl's hair isn't straight lmao let's be real now
@@softyy222 girl. Please. Try better. I have family I did bdays for. Sweet 16s. I have DONE straight hair curly. Also I'm going to school for hair... there's ways, let's be real.. you ain't try the right products
Just a reminder: straight hair is beautiful ❤ people with straight hair, don’t feel pressured to style your hair in a wavy or curly way even with heat. Your natural hair texture is wonderful and healthy hair always looks better than damaged 😅
Actually, it does. I have a friend who has straight hair, she washed and scrunched her hair one day and it became curly (she let it air dry and she didn't have any products in)
This. I dont understand why they trying so hard find out if they have wavy hair with all this routines and products. Just let your hair air dry and find it out
WAIT ACTUALLY?? For my whole life my hair after wash when wet is wavy but then when it dries it’s still a bit wavy but when I brush it it’s straight?? So I’m confused
@@seqwavess9485 you're killing the pattern. My hair is wavy. I only brush it wet, or with a comb. It's hard because it's thick. I end up looking like hermione if I brush it dry. 😂 You probably have mildly wavy hair.
I have wavy hair but have so much damage. Here's how I get mine to stay wavy: first I brush my hair with a wet and dry brush before and during the shower (as long as I have it conditioned). Because of my damage, my hair won't hold waves as well if I brush after my wash. After the shower I will take a towel and scrunch the access water away and leave the waves there. Take the wet towel with you to style. I put first a hydrating style cream in (I use Morocco style cream) and scrunch it in (do not straighten your waves). Once you have a good amount in use a hold moose on your damp hair and really scrunch it (maybe 15-20 times with and without the towel). I them will use an air dry formula because heat damages my hair more or if I don't have time I'll defuse. Don't hold your defused down scrunch it in your hair and hold for a few seconds. It will create wavy volume. Make sure you dry your scalp (gently) because it can hold your hair down more. To get rid of any crunch take a small amount of heathy oil to your dry ends and again scrunch don't pull. Trust me.... your hair is just like mine and it works wonders.
Dont gate keep drop the product names 😂 my hair does the same thing as her and I feel like I've tried so many products that just don't work for my hair
@@samanthathebodeau4345 yeees, we need those. My mom has straight hair and never taught me how to take care of my hair, just to destroy it! And I never know what to pick up cuz my hair is not curly enough or straight enough
no same 😭 still have no idea what i'm doing, do you guys have any recommendations? i literally only found out we're not supposed to towel dry last week
@Samantha Thebodeau So what i do in the shower is use a shower comb to make sure i have no knots in my hair then ill do a tshirt scrunch. after that i dunk my hair in a bowl and scrunch again just to make sure its fully scrucnched lol. I then difuse my hair just so it's damp and no sopping wet. I use the Shea moisture curl mousse after and run my fingers through the wave pattern to make sure its how i like it. I may also add finger twirling to make it a little bit more defined. you can put a scarf or tshirt on in the video just to keep your hair in place. at night (when you're not showing again) you should definitely make sure your hair is tightly wrapped so your waves don't end up all weird in the morning sorry about the whole routine lol I just thought it might help. all hair is a little different so if you cant find anything that's working how you like it to, you should talk to a stylist or you might even have a different hair texture
Honestly coming across all these videos with fellow wavy haired girls that are just finding out how to take care of our hair is so validating 🥹 My mom used to tell me to brush my hair all the time because it always looked unruly Even when I tie up my hair, it was just kind of a mess in the back Now I'm realizing it's just my hair type - thick and wavy 😭
@@LucidDoni I think you didn't listen because she is saying do i have wavy hair and is it can be better if i use some products and this person tried to give an answer
Yes yes yes, you definitely have wavy hair!!! It takes a while to find the right products and techniques to get the look and feel you want but keep working on it and trying things!
that's what i'm doing at the moment, When i was a child i had very wavy hair and now i'm 23 and style it like straight hair but still have those wavy strands mid length when air drying and some strands that just stay straight 😐I'm like confused lol
It’s crazy to me how there are so many girls out there who have these beautiful waves and curls and never found out until later in life. Your waves are beautiful!! Welcome to the curly hair community! 😊
A long spectrum though, the curly hair community starts at cotton candy friz after dried, (we try to get rid of with braids, wigs, glue, hot comb etc) friz and tiny undefined curls, tight defined curls, small wave defined, large waves like hers, defined. Most of us are not on the far right side of the spectrum, like she is.
Yeah.. I have wavy hair and in in my 30s now and I’m just now realizing my hair is wavy.. I used to only blow dry after washing but since I had my first child in 2016 I barely blow dry now and when it’s dry my hair would be wavy .. not super wavy but it’s there .. plus it’s dry on the end and I have a oily scalp so when I was younger I never went without washing and blow drying it.. now it’s better than in my 20s but my hair still need help
As a former hairdresser who focused on curly hair, I have one advise. Literally just keep at it and the curl pattern will become stronger over time. I discovered my own curlpattern this way and helped so many like you realize they actually have curls and/or waves. It takes a while for the true nature of your hair to show when you've taught your hair to be straight for so long. I've even seen situations where someone has more curls towards their roots because that hair hasn't been "mistreated" for as long.
Any product you would recommend? The only thing I have to apply after showering is a coconut moisturiser from balea from watching this video I feel like I do have wavy hair😅
Some people may be like me and have hair that is fine as well as textured, so the curls have always been closer to the roots. Even when I was a little girl, and my hair seemingly looked “semi straight” and was bright blonde hair, I’d still get curlicues popping up all over the place. They really liked to show up by the top of my head, near my ears, and especially near my temples back then. As I got older, and my hair got “mistreated” in so many ways, I still had curlier hair closer to my roots. My hair even looked more wavy for the first half of my life, but then the more I experimented with it the curlier it got. Yet, no matter what I did, 1 thing always rang true for me: the longer my hair is the less tight my curls are. My hair has also constantly been described as “fine but lots of it”, and it can sometimes feel and look “poofy” no matter what I do. The only thing that has easily and unquestionably helped to calm it down is my natural oils, so the longer it’s been since a wash the shinier and healthier it looks (up to about a week or 2).
Wrapping your hair around the brush might actually diminish your waves. Wavy hair goes back and forth in one dimension whereas curly hair wraps in a helix shape, which is why wrapping hair around something helps curls but not waves. Trying to make a curl out of a wave may flatten anything you get naturally out of scrunching. You have to go with the “grain” of the hair. (Note: I’m not a hair dresser, but have gone from thinking I had straight hair to wavy hair to recently finding that I have curly hair so this is just what I’ve gathered from my personal research) Hope this helps! ❤
Hairdresser here! And definitely seconded. Brush styling can work, but right now its best to listen to your hair and have it tell you it's shape. Try putting your products in your hair right after a shower, while your hair is still very wet, and then scrunching with just your hands, and shaking the hair at the roots. Then you can scrunch out the water and either diffuse or air-dry or plop. Whichever works, although the less you touch your hair the better. Oh! And adding in gel and / or mousse before scrunching will give it more definition and hold, so the curls maintain their shape even after a plop or diffuse. Welcome to the curly girl club! Edit: I like how you called it the "grain" of the hair, I might use that😂.
I have wavy hair, thanks for explaining why the whole brush and finger curling never worked for me! I knew my wavy hair looks best the less I mess with it but now I have an actual explanation of why
Thank you! This explains why my “waves” can do the brush and twist if they’re wet enough and now I have a proper argument for the people who want to gatekeep my own hair texture from me lol
Same. I have super fine hair, but a lot of hair and very long hair (to my lower back). Even when using a professional hair stylist, my hair doesn’t stay in its waves or curls. No amount of product will hold it. It just loves to be pin straight.
if you have trouble maintaining heat styles curls you may need a very small barrel. that’s how my friend’s pin-straight hair which never held a curl before, ended up holding a curl for our musical
As a fellow straight haired girl I would like to recommend trying over night air drying curlers those kind of curls last all day for me! There something about my hair, it just won’t take a heat curl but it will literally stay how ever it dried, like if I were to lay down with my hair still wet it will dry smushed to the side of my face and will stay like that until I wash it again!
@@emma_luce_0623nope she's a wavy there's a difference between curly,coily,wavy I have coily hair and if you think curly and wavy are the same you're wrong because curly is those like looser curls you see
@@SGG9810 Professionally speaking, EVERYONE'S hair has a curl pattern. Straight, wavy, curly, kinky, coily, are just adjectives to describe someone's curl pattern aka texture. 😁
The technique of twisting your hair around the handle of a hairbrush is for ringlets, it won't do anything if your hair doesn't naturally have ringlets
a way to tell is honestly just straightening it and if you cant really notice a difference then its not wavy. i have b2 hair and my hair straightened makes me look like Selena Gomez. love it.
Yeess. I am Asian with straight hair and it doesn't matter if I do this, dry naturally or not, or if I sleep with it wet, or use a curler... it's always straight no matter what.
@@PamAndiii girll you are a lucky one! My curls don't last even like 1 or 2h when I use those fixing sprays, I even tried chemically curling many times, no success 🥲 max I can get is this profile pic look but for like a few hrs.
Your hair Definitely looks wavy! I’m a wavy/curly girl myself and started on my journey to wearing my hair naturally and I’m still working at it! I’d LOVE to see you try some products and review!! 😍
@@annaagapova3583 that person meant they do have wavy hair but it isn't curly. they were meaning like coils, but yes you are correct about it being in a curl family. i have curly hair as in 4c hair
deffo do; some product will take it a longggg way for looking healthier. also!! figure out what your porosity is so you aren’t potentially weighing down your waves! silk pillow case or bonnet is also a good shout; good luck!
When you have straight hair, it won't do this. Plain and simple lol, you have wavy hair! I get literal spirals when I care for my hair properly, but I rarely do that lol
As someone who has stubbornly straight hair when wet or dry, you have wavy hair. Straight hair doesn’t act that way when you crunch, it would just flat out and make a flop sound 😂
To gauge from a light skinned girl with B3 hair, you have A2 hair, to look at it at a glance. Most ppl who have A2 think they have straight hair (like my husband), but if yoi have ANY wave aside from atraight, iys at LEAST A2. Alsi, your coil and volume are perfection. Wish i had that coil.🎉
3B is curly coily though? You have 3b but no coils? No hate at all, just curious. My hair ranges from 2B-3C 😮💨 its so hard to not look crazy, if i cut it all the same length, when styled it looks like a 4 year old cut it cuz some parts have so much more shrinkage than others.
unpopular opinion as a wavy-haired girly: if wavy hair is fine, it looks the best air dryed like in your before shot most of the time. no matter how much we scrunch it, our hair doesn't want to be curly and that's okay
I have fine wavy hair and I usually air dry because I'm lazy and don't have enough time in the morning, but scrunching, denman brush, plopping and diffusing definitely helps it look better
@@periodpineapple5465 Her hair is curly, and her full hair pattern isn’t showing yet because this was her first time. After completing the transition phase, she will have curls.
As a 2c/3a girly I can tell you that's what my hair looked like before I started actually trying to take care of it!! Now it's ringlets on its own! It's a long journey but you should try it
so sorry if this is random but i'm pretty sure i have wavy hair as well, it goes down to my waist but i'm so terrible at taking care of it.. do you use any specific products and/or methods for your hair to aid it in what it naturally does?
From a fellow wavy-haired friend, you DEFINITELY have wavy hair, prob somewhat around 2b waves if styled & cared for correctly. Based on what I see your hair is heavily tangled when wet so I recommend hydrating but still lightweight products for your finer hair. I also recommend you try what called plopping with a cotton t-shirt (look up for details)
I feel like everyone should know that There are four types of hair textures, and each type has three categories. 1a-c, 2a-c, 3a-c, 4a-c. With 1 being the straightest and 4 being the coiliest, Knowing your hair type + porosity can have an extremely positive impact on your hair’s health and routine. (yes, you can have multiple types.)
@@aeirking honestly tho, growing up I always heard the terms “black or white hair” . Getting older, and realizing that hair/skin/and body type goes so much more deeper than surface appearance is so frustrating. I don’t want to get into any conspiracy theory’s, but it seems like they don’t teach is the stuff to keep us separated and uneducated.
@@hopeebrown81 the hair products you use isn’t the only thing that matters. Once I realized that I didn’t have 4C hair and I stop treating it like you’d treat 4c hair. My hair THRIVED, all of a sudden, my hair texture fitted my face and wasn’t my enemy. I now know when to use gel, and when not to use gel. I know what to do when I’m trying to achieve a certain style. You can’t brush all curls and coils the same and you can’t do the same thing when trying to achieve the same style with different hair types. I understand if it never worked for you though.
Use hair mousse, then diffuse dry, then use the Paul Mitchell foaming pommade! This is what I use for my natural wave/curl to go fully Julia Roberts in pretty woman!
The endless possibilities you have now opened the door to❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I discovered same thing when I was about 16 and have been a curly/wavy/straight/ whatever s my pleasure haired girl ever since ❤❤❤❤❤❤I love it congrats n welcome to the gang🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I have a hair that is just like yours, the problem with it is once you run your fingers through it once you loose the waves and it goes to straight in no time, at least that's what how my hair lovesj to act
I say my hair has “body” because the s-curls/waves get straight quickly. It’s easier than telling people I have wavy hair when it looks straight all the time.
@@artOfSamira Mine just gets wavier and a tangled mess. If I wasn't lazy I'd have to brush my hair like 3 times a day. Can't afford the products to have it style naturally either.
Yes! I recommend getting a nice deep conditioner to use maybe 1-2 times a week after the shower. After showering, scrunch your hair with it or a curl cream but make sure you hair is totally soaked. Once your curls look defined, take a tshirt or microfiber if possible and scrunch to remove water n product. Do not touch you hair for like 10 min and then diffuse. If u don’t want to diffuse just leave your hair alone and don’t touch it.
Do u feel like scrunching in the Tshirt takes too much product out? I find it does for my hair. I don't know what to do because if I scrunch the water out first my hair goes more curly but then I can't get product evenly through it after.
@@ellieb9053 Im not a very expeirenced wavy girl myself but I've heard this tip that might help? After the leave in or curl creme, scrunch water out with a tshirt or microfibre towel, then you can gently glide either a mousse or gel over the top and scrunch that in with your hands, and air/diffuse as normal. Maybe adding that extra setting peoduct after the scrunching is what you need? Good luck. :)
I get really pretty waves if I leave my hair to air dry but then the very top of my head/hair is all spread out and looks horrible like I never touched it with a brush do you know what I can do? If I truly brush my hair it gets rid of the nice waves, if I brush it wet it doesn't help the fly aways at the top of my hair. and finger combing isn't enough.
@Lizz Alkula Sounds like the main problem you're having I'd you'd like more root volume? Have you given diffusing a go? I don't have one, but I've heard it's really good for that, especially if you do it from the side or upside down. :)
I love that wavy hair gives you the right amount of volume and you don't have to use an iron to curl your hair. I have bone straight hair and it's such a pain to curl it every morning only to have it back straight by midday. I won't complain though, because there are some people who might envy my hair type.
I have Japanese and Jewish hair… it’s a funny combination. Thick Japanese strands yet super wavy… when I’m in humid climates it turns actually curly! I call it my jewfro, it is always wild when untamed… and the worst part about it is the billion baby hairs that poke up when I’m running around in wet hair in a ponytail… I’ll look in the mirror and it’s just frizzy short ends sticking straight up through my long hair like some frizzy halo 😂 that’s the one thing that drives me crazy, but with enough hairspray I can keep it down… I just try not to use it cause I know it’s not great for hair 💁🏻♀️ But I feel like all those with straight hair are so lucky cause they could literally air dry and have a nice hairstyle… I have to put a couple products in mine to make the curls/waves look good. But I do feel lucky when it just takes 10 mins to have a full look… and I get a lot of compliments! I should feel lucky but I don’t… most the time I just tie it up in a messy bun cause I hate hair on my neck 😂
Yes, I straightened my hair every day in HS. I would LOVE to have straight hair. I have curly/wavy hair now that I know how to care for it, and I get compliments on my hair all the time, but I still wish my hair was straight and shiny. Too bad we can't just switch hair with other people 😂 I bet everyone would want to switch, even if their hair was already beautiful.
Hii, I'm a girl that's probably between 3a and 3b when I TAKE GOOD CARE of my curls (when not, it looks like a mess or a bird nest) and I do envy your straight hair, cuz man, looks awesome and easy to brush and take care of, not like my rebeldious one.
I feel you. I really want my hair to curl nicely but I hate using hot tools and products to make my curls last longer because they're not the best for hair. And don't even get me started on heatless curls they do little to nothing on my hair
Instead of using the brush to curl it, use the finger coil method (you can look it up here on YT). Difuse it upside down and continue to scrunch it as you difuse. When it's mostly dry don't flit it back slowly set it back. The more you scrunch the better.
My hair started off like that when I realized I might have wavy hair. I stopped heat styling all together and a few years later, my hair is actually quite curly, especially when cut properly (by a curly hair specialist)!
The way you edited this video so every part is explained so well and we know when you use each product is just so... Calming. I love love love it thank you so much
This is the same thing that happened to me. My Mom had straight hair and everyone just told me to brush it constantly so I just thought I had really big, bad straight hair. Turns out my hair is w a v y
Omg SAME! Growing up, my cousins had stick straight hair and when we were kids they always accused me of “not brushing “ my hair and I had a huge complex over it!! Turns out I actually had thick wavy hair that everyone loves but it took me so many years to realize it!!
You definitely have wavy hair. It might not look like other people’s hair which is fine! The biggest thing is don’t compare yourself to others. The more you style it wavy the more your hair will get use to it and actually look better each time 😊
completely true!! i recently started taking care of my wavy/curly hair and it bothered me at first that it did not look like anyone's i saw on the internet, but i started learning more about how to take care of it and now im pretty proud of my curls, but im still learning!
Yep! You’ve got the waves! I’m a wavy hair gal myself. If I heat dry, it turns straight. If I let it air dry, even without any product or scrunching, I get some little squiggles Been thinking about actually trying to take care of my hair so I get defined waves but I’m lazy as fuck
Everyone's hair changes. I had straight regular not thin not thick white blonde hair until I got older. It started getting thick in my 20's and when I got pregnant with my now 25 year old I had 1 spot in my scalp that started a wave. I now have waves in my scalp and half my hair is really curly and half is barely wavy. Your journey has begun. Congratulations.
Same here omg!! I had straightt fine-ish hair all my childhood & teenage years but in my 20s it started getting pretty thick, coarse and wavy. I thought it was super weird but I’m glad I’m not the only one who has gone through something like this 😂
glad im not the only one. though for me it's the opposite. i had extremely frizzy wavy hair up until college. it became really tame and straight once i started using one hair conditioner
I have curly 3b-3a hair but at the end of my (scalp?) like above my neck(sorry English isn’t my first language😅) I have straight hair and I hate it bc I want all of my hair to be straight😭😭
Yes, yes you do. With the right products, you will definitely get more definition with your waves/curls. Looks beautiful. Can't wait to see it when you have the right products.
Yes, definitely! I tried the curly girl method once and I still do it because the results get better every single day. It's like your hair trains itself to be wavy. It's crazy to think about that I was a straight hair girlie.
As a person with straight hair: yes you are definitely wavy. There is no amount of plopping or scrunching or air drying that can get so much as a kink in my hair. If you get uneven waves from doing not much, you’ll get lovely waves from doing it properly.
Samee , I realized it las year also that I have wavy hair 😂. Still trying to find ways to define the waves better, so any tips are welcomed 🙏❤ Glad to find that other people went trought the same stuff.
i always thought that my hair turned out wavy bc when I slept with wet hair it like scrunched onto the pillow and held its shape, but like sometimes it’s wet from like rain or something and dries wavy so i may try this lol
I’ve always used natural sun and air to dry my hair. When I need to go somewhere and have no time to air dry I blow dry it but that’s hardly ever. Only when I was younger but now I don’t. I like to keep it natural and it’s healthier 😭 heat isn’t good for your hair if used commonly
Single mum working full time, can’t be the only one to allow my wavy hair to hibernate forever because this effort takes up a whole ass chunk of the say
@helenlea5578 I didn't know I had wavy hair until about 5 years ago (I'll be forever grateful to the girl who told me!) My routine now is no shampoo, just conditioner. Brush straight after washing whilst still very wet. Tie it up in a towel for a few minutes then let it down to dry naturally. Then I don't brush it again until next time my hair is wet. The longer I've done this, the better it has become, and it seems quite time saving compared to normal washing and brushing. Try it! And let me know the results 😊
Hi Helen, I was advised to do this as part of "the curly girl method". Using quite a lot of conditioner (I always had to anyway as I have long, thick hair) means for me it's quite easy to brush through after washing. I haven't missed the shampoo at all. In between washes I do find my hair tangles up a bit, but honestly it's worth it for me to just leave it as it is, with beachy looking waves. Fortunately I don't have anyone trying to run their hands through my hair - I don't know if that's normal or not 😂 I also cut my hair in a way to encourage layers, which I think helps the curls. So basically I wake up in the morning and my hair is ready to go for the day! And it means I skip on the shampoo stage, blow drying, brushing and styling. For me it's a real time saver and looks much better than before I started doing this. I guess I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you in case you do try it. Best wishes 🤞
I had super frizzy curly hair as a child and teen, up until my early 20’s. Then after I got cancer and went through chemotherapy my hair grew back wavy and no longer curls like it used to nor is that frizzy. The top portion grows out straight and then it waves mid shaft. It’s crazy how it can change
i have the same kind of hair. as a child i had curly hair. till around 10-11 years old i had my hair as a boy cut so my mom thought it was straight. but now that i have grown it out, my roots are straight but my shafts are wavy. i dont understand what kind of hair type this is
Same with my aunt she randomly had 3b hair when the rest of the family had straight 1b then she got cancer at 28 and grew it out pin straight she’s sometimes sad about not having curly hair anymore
Best thing you can do is see a hair stylist that specializes in waves/ curls. There’s definitely a cut that will help maximize your waves, plus they can recommend a routine, and show you the correct products to use (and how to use them the right way). It’s such a unique journey, have fun! 🎉
I didn't know that, that kind of stylist exists! I am so glad I saw this. Now that I'm a mother with a toddler I'm trying to find a low maintenance way to style my hair that still looks put together
It’s because your hair seems straight when you brush it out but something is off, like it’s frizzy or flipping out or little curls/waves in a couple spots, so then you just straighten it. It’s so weird because it’s just not as obvious if you have fine hair to tell if it’s straight or wavy sometimes. I would say curls are more obvious
Growing up I would just brush it out right after the shower like my mom taught me. It would always come out frizzy and I chalked it up to just having unhealthy hair because of how much heat I’ve used in middle school. In my family, none of my female cousins or my sister has wavy hair so for me I never thought it to be a possibility. It wasn’t until I was in college where I found out there was actually a method in taking care of waves and that my dads side of the family has more wavy hair lol
it’s more confusing than you’d think 😭 there are different types of wavy hair, and some of them are very subtle especially if you’re used to heat styling. if i blow dry my hair it’s straight, if i let it air dry it’s a tiny bit wavy, and if i really go through the effort of moisturizing, proper products etc it is distinctly wavy. it’s also a lot more wavy when it’s healthy, so a lot of people spend a long time thinking they have frizzy straight hair and keep damaging it by trying to style it as though it were straight hair. the struggle is real
It's not only about the right "things" (products, etc). It's more about getting your hair healthy again. It's about stopping hot tools long enough for the dried/fried parts to grow out/get cut off, and allowing the true shape of your hair follicle grow. It's a journey for sure!
My hair looked like that when I tried to follow the curly method for the first time. The waves are so loose, because we straighten/dry our hair with brushes. In time, your waves will have better form/tighten.
Keep at it girl, it looks gorgeous! I went wavy 5 years ago and even though I’m not pure CGM 100% of the time, my hair is so much healthier and I have fallen in love with my natural waves 🌊💙
“Ive never let my hair air dry before” is a crazy ass sentence to me
I know. I think I've blow dried my hair maybe 8 times in my entire life. I guess I don't have any fun, curly hair surprises in store for my limp noodle hair. 😢😂
I have curly hair, I've used a blow dryer maybe 2 times in my life (😂 to straighten my hair). Hearing that she's never air dried before threw me off my toilet seat
@@cbricruse8197 right like if i did that id be bald 😭 my shits curly and brittle HAHSHDH
Same wtf lmao
She never had that she hadn’t ever let her hair air dry before, she said she usually doesn’t air dry it
If you never let your hair air-dry naturally cause it puffs out, that's THE indicator that your hair is wavy
Mine doesn't puff unless i brush it as it dries off r after it's dry. Leave it alone after brushing it wet and shaking out ur waves it will lay perfect if u use hair oil after u towel dry
Yup! I have known I had curly hair since I was a child. But at 34, I just started to learn how to take care of it. I straightened it all my life. No one knew what to do with it. The only other person in my family with curly hair is my grandmother. But she only straightens it. Her parents were Arabic but pretended to be French when they came to the US. And my great grandmother saw the curly hair as something that could expose them, so she shamed my grandmother. Who in turn shamed me. Without really realizing what she was doing. Anyways, now I'm doing it correctly. And no more crazy poof hair after drying it! Which my family would make fun of me for and took as a sign my hair was unhealthy. I have had the same stylist for 15 years. She told me my hair was the healthiest she had ever seen it. I'm really happy I started this process.
Or curly....like mine. If I brush mine, then it's a humongous lions mane.
@Bubbles I'm not going to lie. Humongous lions mane sounds amazing!
The fact that I've never thought about this 😭 you're right
Maybe not curly, but definitely wavy. You have such pretty hair 😭
yea def not curly but she has beautiful waves
@@KuriQT she said "wavy curly" so it's not like she never said curly.
Y’all so weird
She never said curly
@@user-sleepy33 They said "she never said curly" which is false. She said the word curly. Therefore, the original comment's "Maybe not curly, but definitely wavy" didn't come completely out of left field.
And the original comment is not even saying something like "she claimed to have curly hair when it's not curly, it's wavy", they're reaffirming that "yes your hair type is indeed wavy, not curly".
The context changes absolutely nothing. The whole video is about the "curly girl method", I wasn't unaware. Honestly, the only thing I'm confused about is why you wanted to respond to me.
Wavy hair people are so funny, always asking if it's ACTUALLY wavy like ma'am I don't see a single straight hair? Yes! You're wavy!
My hair always dries completely straight in the back and wavy in the front😭
Some super gifted curly haired girls are gate keeping even wavy hair. That’s probably why 😢
@@inimene6my hair is super inconsistent too in texture. Get the right products for your hair! I can’t help you cause idk your actual hair, but just try some stuff out hehehe or ask a hair stylist or something hehe

As someone with 1b straight hair--my hair dries straight. I air dry it every day and always have. I can't even keep a curl if I DO heat it it. That's wavy hair, girl. - Love from the Straight hair gang.
My brain exploded today. I always thought I had fine dead straight hair. I can’t even keep a curl if I try to curl it. If I get a perm hair goes back to straight the next day. Fast forward till now I saw this video jokingly was like let me try this probably will be dead straight. My hair started waving and going into these curls by itself. I’ve never seen this much volume on my flat head in my life. I’m so confused. Do I have straight hair or wavy hair??? I’ve always let me hair air dry but before I would comb the heck out of it
@@kubii2404dude I think I have the same exact hair texture lmk what you find LMAO
YES. Yes. I wish I had even a little wave in my hair. Even set with heat, curls fall out within hours. The most curl I get is a little wavy piece by my ear... But it needs 90% humidity to show itself. 😅
I like my incredibly straight hair but I do wish I could curl without it going back to straight in less than an hour even with a ton of hairspray
i hate my straight hair it looks so bad on me its one of my insecurities :( i want curls/wavy hair so bad
As a curly girl, I concur. Babe.. You DEFINITELY have wavy hair. It's gorgeous!
Fellow curly haired girly
Hey, I could you please tell me how to do it? ☺️ I think I kinda have it and they are wavy/curly but they are quite long (62cm) and heavy. I would really appreciate your help
@@itzjoon5568 it is normal!
@@emmalord9404look for tutorials specified in wavy hair, cuz many, like in this video use methods for curly hairs, which may help, but only to a certain extent, since it is still different
Hairstylist here 🙋🏽 and absolutely the right product will make all the difference. Look for light/medium hold styling cream (apply when damp) or even texture spray. The "air dry" styling creams by Redken is really good! Just don't over do it and avoid the leave on "conditioner things" lol they'll just weigh it down. Beautiful hair!!
This is what I needed to know! I have wavy hair like the lady in the video and it can sometimes take on a spiral shape in some parts of it. Thanks for the tips 🙂
Leave in conditioner is absolutely not a bad thing. Just choose the right brand.
What! I thought leave in creams and conditioners were the same. No wonder why curls fall flat so fast 🤦♀️ I've been so confused 😭😭😭
could you maybe give me some tips please? I've also recently discovered that i have wavy hair, but it gets (kinda) straight after i brush it. Is that normal or does that mean my hair is actually straight? I'm just very confused please help 😭
@@User-lt1jjdon’t brush it except in the shower! Then when it’s damp and de-tangled, use a T shirt to scrunch your hair. Apply a curl cream and diffuse :) if your hair is thick and frizzy at times you can put a curl gel (a small amount) on after the cream. That’s my method! Works like a charm and makes my hair go from semi straight to CURLY curls.
"And i diffused for the first time in my life"
*owns a diffuser*
well a lot of blowdryers come with a diffuser attachment, mine did and i just gave it to a friend lmao
It very well may have came with her hair dryer n she never used it or borrowed it or bought it also u b surprised by the number of ppl who dont know how to PROPERLY use a defuser
Most high end hair-dryers nearly always come with the attachment, most never use it

@@Starlight_16 same 😭 i tried so hard with My stepmoms styling moose when I was a kid, I just got this stiff frizzy mess😂 and it barely had any wave
That’s good to know. I always thought I had straight hair, and I always wanted curly hair. Since my hair isn’t super wavy, the length would always weigh down any wave I had, until I got my hair layered. It started becoming more wavy, and now I leave my hair scrunched up every night, and my hair is super wavy in the morning
I wish Inhad wavy hair ngl
wavy hair is the best hair type for heatless curls!!!!! the initial take down ringlets are so elegant and as the hair falls it gradually goes into an 80s “girl next door” kind of vibe.
❤facts, I leave my hair to dry itself in a twisted bun and it forms cute barrel curls spiraling down, esp with some coconut oil, mostly on the ends, & a little on the middle. Lol
Yeah you do girl! But remember with great power comes a great responsability
I wish someone told me this 10years ago 😢😂
Yes! I'm a hair stylist. You can totally rock the wavy look! Less heat damage on your hair, too! You need to do what we call a cocktail. A creme leave in conditioner mixed with a gel or mouse. Works like a charm.
Omg PLEASE share more info?! 😍 How would you mix that with mousse? Or would you apply one after the other?
@Stella If you use gel, then you just mix the gel and leave in in your hand, rub together, and apply. (I find that the best way is this: post shower, take a dry towel, and flip head over and scrunch hair. Then apply product and scrunch again and air dry or diffuse.) It works great. If you're going to use a mouse, then yes, separately! I :) Also to note, I would brush hair before shower.. don't brush or comb through after cause it pulls the curls out.
Do u think this might cause a bacne flare up or is there a brand that is okay for sensitive skin
@Celeste Essel I'm not a doctor...but yes, it could cause irritations on the skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and scalp. Any products you buy off of the shelf, even salon quality, are highly fragrance and packed with chemicals. I try to do as natural as possible. I have been using a company called Raw Hair Organics for any curly/wavy hair needs. It may not be the absolute cleanest, but way better than anything else I have found so far. It works great and no scent to cause irritations.
@@bshows14this. I’ve had pin straight frizzy hair since forever until i did this at like 30 and i realized i have wavy hair like beautiful waves if i dont brush post shower, air dry and sometimes do that hair cocktail (that i didn’t know was called a cocktail but learned on youtube) i had a lot of trial and error with the products since my scalp suffers from dermatitis and my hair is thin but greasy but finally settled on a not too heavy leave in with mousse and it does the trick! So yes by experience this is amazing advice ❤❤❤
I never found out because my hair was always “unruly” so I brushed and straightened and killed it for years. One time I was with a group and we decided to impulsively buy a slip n slide and dump a ton of dawn on it. Well we did. My hair was so dry at the end and my friend who has coils was like, so distraught over how dry my hair looked, she had brought her leave in conditioner. She told me to just bare with her and use it, she said to just scrunch it in for more even application and sure enough beautiful defined 3b-3c curls popped right on up. She like freaked out and dragged me straight to her house. It’s one of my best memories because for the next like week I basically lived at her house because she wanted to help me with my hair. She never had a sister, and mine was like 15 years younger than me so I never had an older sister, so we got to play those roles for a while and we’re still playing them. Simple memories are the best ones ❤️
Thats cute❤
That’s the sweetest thing ever!! 🥹 I have very, very curly hair, but it was straight up until I was about 13 or so, and it’s been a real challenge to manage!! I finally have it under control and I have a lot of customers at work, as well as people in the wild, who ask me how exactly I maintain it so well. A few months ago, I had a customer with pin-straight hair tell me she had a daughter with hair like mine and she was at her wit’s end trying to manage it. I gave her my advice and then I didn’t see this lady again until last week, when she told me her daughter’s hair is absolutely thriving the way I suggested she do it!! 🥹
This is so sweet. I wish I could watch a video of that moment
Not me crying lol ❤

Yes, you have wavy hair. Straight hair don't curl no matter how much you scrunch 😊
Especially with no product on!!!

exactly straight hair says straight under every condition 😭😭
Just a reminder: straight hair is beautiful ❤ people with straight hair, don’t feel pressured to style your hair in a wavy or curly way even with heat. Your natural hair texture is wonderful and healthy hair always looks better than damaged 😅
Actually, it does. I have a friend who has straight hair, she washed and scrunched her hair one day and it became curly (she let it air dry and she didn't have any products in)
If your hair dries naturally into waves without products or styling, then yes,you have wavy hair. Welcome to the club ❤
This. I dont understand why they trying so hard find out if they have wavy hair with all this routines and products. Just let your hair air dry and find it out

You probably have mildly wavy hair.
@@mr.maikai same mine starts getting frizzy
I have wavy hair but have so much damage. Here's how I get mine to stay wavy: first I brush my hair with a wet and dry brush before and during the shower (as long as I have it conditioned). Because of my damage, my hair won't hold waves as well if I brush after my wash. After the shower I will take a towel and scrunch the access water away and leave the waves there. Take the wet towel with you to style. I put first a hydrating style cream in (I use Morocco style cream) and scrunch it in (do not straighten your waves). Once you have a good amount in use a hold moose on your damp hair and really scrunch it (maybe 15-20 times with and without the towel). I them will use an air dry formula because heat damages my hair more or if I don't have time I'll defuse. Don't hold your defused down scrunch it in your hair and hold for a few seconds. It will create wavy volume. Make sure you dry your scalp (gently) because it can hold your hair down more. To get rid of any crunch take a small amount of heathy oil to your dry ends and again scrunch don't pull. Trust me.... your hair is just like mine and it works wonders.
Wavy hair girl here. Try using a gel and/or curl cream. Scrunch with those, plop, diffuse.

@Samantha Thebodeau So what i do in the shower is use a shower comb to make sure i have no knots in my hair then ill do a tshirt scrunch. after that i dunk my hair in a bowl and scrunch again just to make sure its fully scrucnched lol. I then difuse my hair just so it's damp and no sopping wet. I use the Shea moisture curl mousse after and run my fingers through the wave pattern to make sure its how i like it. I may also add finger twirling to make it a little bit more defined. you can put a scarf or tshirt on in the video just to keep your hair in place. at night (when you're not showing again) you should definitely make sure your hair is tightly wrapped so your waves don't end up all weird in the morning
sorry about the whole routine lol I just thought it might help. all hair is a little different so if you cant find anything that's working how you like it to, you should talk to a stylist or you might even have a different hair texture

A long spectrum though, the curly hair community starts at cotton candy friz after dried, (we try to get rid of with braids, wigs, glue, hot comb etc) friz and tiny undefined curls, tight defined curls, small wave defined, large waves like hers, defined. Most of us are not on the far right side of the spectrum, like she is.

Me with a pin straight hair 😢
As a former hairdresser who focused on curly hair, I have one advise.
Literally just keep at it and the curl pattern will become stronger over time.
I discovered my own curlpattern this way and helped so many like you realize they actually have curls and/or waves.
It takes a while for the true nature of your hair to show when you've taught your hair to be straight for so long. I've even seen situations where someone has more curls towards their roots because that hair hasn't been "mistreated" for as long.
Any product you would recommend? The only thing I have to apply after showering is a coconut moisturiser from balea from watching this video I feel like I do have wavy hair😅
Why aren’t you a hairdresser anymore?
Some people may be like me and have hair that is fine as well as textured, so the curls have always been closer to the roots. Even when I was a little girl, and my hair seemingly looked “semi straight” and was bright blonde hair, I’d still get curlicues popping up all over the place. They really liked to show up by the top of my head, near my ears, and especially near my temples back then.
As I got older, and my hair got “mistreated” in so many ways, I still had curlier hair closer to my roots. My hair even looked more wavy for the first half of my life, but then the more I experimented with it the curlier it got.
Yet, no matter what I did, 1 thing always rang true for me: the longer my hair is the less tight my curls are.
My hair has also constantly been described as “fine but lots of it”, and it can sometimes feel and look “poofy” no matter what I do. The only thing that has easily and unquestionably helped to calm it down is my natural oils, so the longer it’s been since a wash the shinier and healthier it looks (up to about a week or 2).
THIS!!! I hope she reads this 🤞🏽❤
That's helpful. I have wavy hair during wash day and than the curls go down day 2. So hopefully keeping at it, it won't be so flat and frizzy.
It looks pretty wavy. Beautiful hair btw!
YES, YOU DO AND IT'S GORGEOUS
Wrapping your hair around the brush might actually diminish your waves. Wavy hair goes back and forth in one dimension whereas curly hair wraps in a helix shape, which is why wrapping hair around something helps curls but not waves. Trying to make a curl out of a wave may flatten anything you get naturally out of scrunching. You have to go with the “grain” of the hair. (Note: I’m not a hair dresser, but have gone from thinking I had straight hair to wavy hair to recently finding that I have curly hair so this is just what I’ve gathered from my personal research) Hope this helps! ❤
Hairdresser here! And definitely seconded. Brush styling can work, but right now its best to listen to your hair and have it tell you it's shape. Try putting your products in your hair right after a shower, while your hair is still very wet, and then scrunching with just your hands, and shaking the hair at the roots. Then you can scrunch out the water and either diffuse or air-dry or plop. Whichever works, although the less you touch your hair the better. Oh! And adding in gel and / or mousse before scrunching will give it more definition and hold, so the curls maintain their shape even after a plop or diffuse. Welcome to the curly girl club!
Edit: I like how you called it the "grain" of the hair, I might use that😂.
I have wavy hair, thanks for explaining why the whole brush and finger curling never worked for me! I knew my wavy hair looks best the less I mess with it but now I have an actual explanation of why
This... explains... SO much!!! 🥲🥲🥲
Thank you! This explains why my “waves” can do the brush and twist if they’re wet enough and now I have a proper argument for the people who want to gatekeep my own hair texture from me lol
@@s.w.5686but like... When do you brush it? No matter what I do, my hair poofs up after brushing and it won't do anything I want it to do ever 😢
You totally do. My hair would NEVER hold onto waves like that. It can barely maintain heat styled curls.
Same. I have super fine hair, but a lot of hair and very long hair (to my lower back). Even when using a professional hair stylist, my hair doesn’t stay in its waves or curls. No amount of product will hold it. It just loves to be pin straight.
if you have trouble maintaining heat styles curls you may need a very small barrel. that’s how my friend’s pin-straight hair which never held a curl before, ended up holding a curl for our musical
Straight hair DOESN'T HOLD WAVES! Her hair is obv wavy, and far from being curly too
As a fellow straight haired girl I would like to recommend trying over night air drying curlers those kind of curls last all day for me!
There something about my hair, it just won’t take a heat curl but it will literally stay how ever it dried, like if I were to lay down with my hair still wet it will dry smushed to the side of my face and will stay like that until I wash it again!
She looks Gorgeous with her wavey hair .
You def have waves!! Get the right products and your hair will thank you forever! + no more heat
coming from a curly girl, you DEFINITELY have wavy hair! So pretty! Embrace it (:
You are both curly girls 😂 You're probably a coily girl
@@emma_luce_0623what?
@@emma_luce_0623nope she's a wavy there's a difference between curly,coily,wavy I have coily hair and if you think curly and wavy are the same you're wrong because curly is those like looser curls you see
@@SGG9810 actually technically waves are a curl pattern but everyone has different definitions of curly and don’t always count all curl patterns
@@SGG9810 Professionally speaking, EVERYONE'S hair has a curl pattern. Straight, wavy, curly, kinky, coily, are just adjectives to describe someone's curl pattern aka texture. 😁
The technique of twisting your hair around the handle of a hairbrush is for ringlets, it won't do anything if your hair doesn't naturally have ringlets
Was that a hair brush? Lmao I came to comments to see if anyone else brought up her paddle 😂
@@thehutch7728yeah people use brushes/brush handles to make spirals. There's lots of tutorials on how to do it with Denman brushes
I have ringlets. They're in random spots atp and I'm trying to... Fix them? Anyway, I'll try to start doing that🤭
You can't "create" curls or waves. That technique is to clump them together
It works for me, naturally I have wavy hair but loose wave pattern, and if I do the brush thing the ringlets stay in my hair
a way to tell is honestly just straightening it and if you cant really notice a difference then its not wavy. i have b2 hair and my hair straightened makes me look like Selena Gomez. love it.
I am in the exact same boat actually (minus the "never letting my hair air-dry" bit, I just never gave it any thought)
Yeess. I am Asian with straight hair and it doesn't matter if I do this, dry naturally or not, or if I sleep with it wet, or use a curler... it's always straight no matter what.
This is wild to me
same here lmao i've never seen a difference wben i blow dry vs air dry. I mostly air dry unless im short on time
@@hamomo24 Yeah there is just no option. The options are tie the hair or not tie... but not curl
the qualms of having straight hair tho is curling iron never works for more than a day lol
@@PamAndiii girll you are a lucky one! My curls don't last even like 1 or 2h when I use those fixing sprays, I even tried chemically curling many times, no success 🥲 max I can get is this profile pic look but for like a few hrs.
Your hair Definitely looks wavy! I’m a wavy/curly girl myself and started on my journey to wearing my hair naturally and I’m still working at it! I’d LOVE to see you try some products and review!! 😍
wavy yes but not curly
@@ibukyhee2556 wave is a type of a curl

@@ibukyhee2556 u don’t even know her.. it could b curly ..
@@annaagapova3583 that person meant they do have wavy hair but it isn't curly. they were meaning like coils, but yes you are correct about it being in a curl family. i have curly hair as in 4c hair
That hair is wavy 100%
deffo do; some product will take it a longggg way for looking healthier. also!! figure out what your porosity is so you aren’t potentially weighing down your waves! silk pillow case or bonnet is also a good shout; good luck!
When you have straight hair, it won't do this. Plain and simple lol, you have wavy hair! I get literal spirals when I care for my hair properly, but I rarely do that lol
As someone who has stubbornly straight hair when wet or dry, you have wavy hair. Straight hair doesn’t act that way when you crunch, it would just flat out and make a flop sound 😂
Don't know what you're talking about, my wet straight hair will be kinda wavy if I'll srunch them. And they still air dry completely straight
"flop sound" 😂😂
@@deathwave8375ok you're probably 1c
@@deathwave8375 everyone's hair is different. But yes, this girls hair is definitely wavy
@@deathwave8375that’s exactly her point, straight hair won’t hold the wave or curl.
That is definitely wavy hair!❤
To gauge from a light skinned girl with B3 hair, you have A2 hair, to look at it at a glance. Most ppl who have A2 think they have straight hair (like my husband), but if yoi have ANY wave aside from atraight, iys at LEAST A2.
Alsi, your coil and volume are perfection. Wish i had that coil.🎉
3B is curly coily though? You have 3b but no coils? No hate at all, just curious.
My hair ranges from 2B-3C 😮💨 its so hard to not look crazy, if i cut it all the same length, when styled it looks like a 4 year old cut it cuz some parts have so much more shrinkage than others.
@@booknerdjebbi5037 im pretty sure 3b is curls not coils, 4a would be curly coily (3 is curls, 4 is coils)
hope this helps :)
unpopular opinion as a wavy-haired girly: if wavy hair is fine, it looks the best air dryed like in your before shot most of the time. no matter how much we scrunch it, our hair doesn't want to be curly and that's okay
I don’t think she is trying to turn her hair curly lmao 😭💀
She is scrunching it to define her waves. Waves are a type of curl.
I have fine wavy hair and I usually air dry because I'm lazy and don't have enough time in the morning, but scrunching, denman brush, plopping and diffusing definitely helps it look better
@@periodpineapple5465 Her hair is curly, and her full hair pattern isn’t showing yet because this was her first time. After completing the transition phase, she will have curls.
Her hair is not fine tho.. and she will have defined curls after the transition phase.
As a 2c/3a girly I can tell you that's what my hair looked like before I started actually trying to take care of it!! Now it's ringlets on its own! It's a long journey but you should try it
so sorry if this is random but i'm pretty sure i have wavy hair as well, it goes down to my waist but i'm so terrible at taking care of it..
do you use any specific products and/or methods for your hair to aid it in what it naturally does?
I have the exact same mixxx, hair twin
@@yooookknza3003me too!!!
👀
im starting today!! how did you do it? i have no idea what im doing lol😭💖
Girl your messy wavy hair makes you look SO GOOD
From a fellow wavy-haired friend, you DEFINITELY have wavy hair, prob somewhat around 2b waves if styled & cared for correctly. Based on what I see your hair is heavily tangled when wet so I recommend hydrating but still lightweight products for your finer hair. I also recommend you try what called plopping with a cotton t-shirt (look up for details)
I feel like everyone should know that There are four types of hair textures, and each type has three categories. 1a-c, 2a-c, 3a-c, 4a-c.
With 1 being the straightest and 4 being the coiliest, Knowing your hair type + porosity can have an extremely positive impact on your hair’s health and routine. (yes, you can have multiple types.)
This is honesly they type of thing they should teach us in school... how to find our skin/hair/body type and take care of ourselves bc idk.
@@aeirking honestly tho, growing up I always heard the terms “black or white hair” . Getting older, and realizing that hair/skin/and body type goes so much more deeper than surface appearance is so frustrating. I don’t want to get into any conspiracy theory’s, but it seems like they don’t teach is the stuff to keep us separated and uneducated.
I have multiple hair types it sucks lol as I've aged it's getting more curly so I'm relearning my hair.
Hair typing means nothing though. It doesn't help you select products.
@@hopeebrown81 the hair products you use isn’t the only thing that matters. Once I realized that I didn’t have 4C hair and I stop treating it like you’d treat 4c hair. My hair THRIVED, all of a sudden, my hair texture fitted my face and wasn’t my enemy. I now know when to use gel, and when not to use gel. I know what to do when I’m trying to achieve a certain style. You can’t brush all curls and coils the same and you can’t do the same thing when trying to achieve the same style with different hair types. I understand if it never worked for you though.
Just remember that by doing this your wavy hair doesn't go super curly but it improves your waves
Yes! It won’t be curly but it will enhance the shine and stop the frizzy look.
She knows that..
When I started my curly hair journey I had hair like her before. Now I have so much curls. Everyone's hair will react differently.
Use hair mousse, then diffuse dry, then use the Paul Mitchell foaming pommade! This is what I use for my natural wave/curl to go fully Julia Roberts in pretty woman!
The endless possibilities you have now opened the door to❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I discovered same thing when I was about 16 and have been a curly/wavy/straight/ whatever s my pleasure haired girl ever since ❤❤❤❤❤❤I love it congrats n welcome to the gang🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I have a hair that is just like yours, the problem with it is once you run your fingers through it once you loose the waves and it goes to straight in no time, at least that's what how my hair lovesj to act
Mine too!! If I touch or brush it it gets weirdly straight again🥲
Yep, you even think about touching it and it’s a straight frizzy mess :/ so frustrating
I say my hair has “body” because the s-curls/waves get straight quickly. It’s easier than telling people I have wavy hair when it looks straight all the time.
Mine does the same thing!
@@artOfSamira Mine just gets wavier and a tangled mess. If I wasn't lazy I'd have to brush my hair like 3 times a day. Can't afford the products to have it style naturally either.
Yes! I recommend getting a nice deep conditioner to use maybe 1-2 times a week after the shower. After showering, scrunch your hair with it or a curl cream but make sure you hair is totally soaked. Once your curls look defined, take a tshirt or microfiber if possible and scrunch to remove water n product. Do not touch you hair for like 10 min and then diffuse. If u don’t want to diffuse just leave your hair alone and don’t touch it.
Do u feel like scrunching in the Tshirt takes too much product out? I find it does for my hair. I don't know what to do because if I scrunch the water out first my hair goes more curly but then I can't get product evenly through it after.
@@ellieb9053 Im not a very expeirenced wavy girl myself but I've heard this tip that might help? After the leave in or curl creme, scrunch water out with a tshirt or microfibre towel, then you can gently glide either a mousse or gel over the top and scrunch that in with your hands, and air/diffuse as normal. Maybe adding that extra setting peoduct after the scrunching is what you need? Good luck. :)
I get really pretty waves if I leave my hair to air dry but then the very top of my head/hair is all spread out and looks horrible like I never touched it with a brush do you know what I can do? If I truly brush my hair it gets rid of the nice waves, if I brush it wet it doesn't help the fly aways at the top of my hair. and finger combing isn't enough.
@Lizz Alkula Sounds like the main problem you're having I'd you'd like more root volume? Have you given diffusing a go? I don't have one, but I've heard it's really good for that, especially if you do it from the side or upside down. :)
Totally! And the more you practice wavy hair styling, it will become wavier!
U definitely have the potential, ur hair is soooo freaking prettyyyyy
I love that wavy hair gives you the right amount of volume and you don't have to use an iron to curl your hair. I have bone straight hair and it's such a pain to curl it every morning only to have it back straight by midday. I won't complain though, because there are some people who might envy my hair type.
I have Japanese and Jewish hair… it’s a funny combination. Thick Japanese strands yet super wavy… when I’m in humid climates it turns actually curly! I call it my jewfro, it is always wild when untamed… and the worst part about it is the billion baby hairs that poke up when I’m running around in wet hair in a ponytail… I’ll look in the mirror and it’s just frizzy short ends sticking straight up through my long hair like some frizzy halo 😂 that’s the one thing that drives me crazy, but with enough hairspray I can keep it down… I just try not to use it cause I know it’s not great for hair 💁🏻♀️
But I feel like all those with straight hair are so lucky cause they could literally air dry and have a nice hairstyle… I have to put a couple products in mine to make the curls/waves look good. But I do feel lucky when it just takes 10 mins to have a full look… and I get a lot of compliments! I should feel lucky but I don’t… most the time I just tie it up in a messy bun cause I hate hair on my neck 😂
Yes, I straightened my hair every day in HS. I would LOVE to have straight hair. I have curly/wavy hair now that I know how to care for it, and I get compliments on my hair all the time, but I still wish my hair was straight and shiny. Too bad we can't just switch hair with other people 😂 I bet everyone would want to switch, even if their hair was already beautiful.
Hii, I'm a girl that's probably between 3a and 3b when I TAKE GOOD CARE of my curls (when not, it looks like a mess or a bird nest) and I do envy your straight hair, cuz man, looks awesome and easy to brush and take care of, not like my rebeldious one.
@@chocokrispies707 literallyyyyy😭 same🙃
I feel you. I really want my hair to curl nicely but I hate using hot tools and products to make my curls last longer because they're not the best for hair. And don't even get me started on heatless curls they do little to nothing on my hair
You have wavy hair you just need the right products
Instead of using the brush to curl it, use the finger coil method (you can look it up here on YT). Difuse it upside down and continue to scrunch it as you difuse. When it's mostly dry don't flit it back slowly set it back. The more you scrunch the better.
Yes as a girl with 2b hair my hair looked like that when I didn’t take care of it
My hair started off like that when I realized I might have wavy hair. I stopped heat styling all together and a few years later, my hair is actually quite curly, especially when cut properly (by a curly hair specialist)!
The way you get your hair cut will also bring out more wave, even curl.
The way you edited this video so every part is explained so well and we know when you use each product is just so... Calming. I love love love it thank you so much
yes yes yes! wavy girl! you’ve DEF got waves!
This is the same thing that happened to me. My Mom had straight hair and everyone just told me to brush it constantly so I just thought I had really big, bad straight hair.
Turns out my hair is w a v y
Omg SAME! Growing up, my cousins had stick straight hair and when we were kids they always accused me of “not brushing “ my hair and I had a huge complex over it!! Turns out I actually had thick wavy hair that everyone loves but it took me so many years to realize it!!
Some dude that cut my hair when I was like 16 told me I had FROG FUR so I just thought I had bad hair
You definitely have wavy hair. It might not look like other people’s hair which is fine! The biggest thing is don’t compare yourself to others. The more you style it wavy the more your hair will get use to it and actually look better each time 😊
completely true!! i recently started taking care of my wavy/curly hair and it bothered me at first that it did not look like anyone's i saw on the internet, but i started learning more about how to take care of it and now im pretty proud of my curls, but im still learning!
Girl you have wavy hair and it looks awesome!
Yep! You’ve got the waves!
I’m a wavy hair gal myself. If I heat dry, it turns straight. If I let it air dry, even without any product or scrunching, I get some little squiggles
Been thinking about actually trying to take care of my hair so I get defined waves but I’m lazy as fuck
Everyone's hair changes. I had straight regular not thin not thick white blonde hair until I got older. It started getting thick in my 20's and when I got pregnant with my now 25 year old I had 1 spot in my scalp that started a wave. I now have waves in my scalp and half my hair is really curly and half is barely wavy.
Your journey has begun. Congratulations.
Same here omg!! I had straightt fine-ish hair all my childhood & teenage years but in my 20s it started getting pretty thick, coarse and wavy. I thought it was super weird but I’m glad I’m not the only one who has gone through something like this 😂
I literally couldn't put a curl in my hair when I was younger, now 30 + years later I can't get the curl OUT of my hair
Did you use any products to make your hair thicker?
glad im not the only one. though for me it's the opposite. i had extremely frizzy wavy hair up until college. it became really tame and straight once i started using one hair conditioner
I have curly 3b-3a hair but at the end of my (scalp?) like above my neck(sorry English isn’t my first language😅) I have straight hair and I hate it bc I want all of my hair to be straight😭😭
Yes, yes you do. With the right products, you will definitely get more definition with your waves/curls. Looks beautiful. Can't wait to see it when you have the right products.
Yes, definitely! I tried the curly girl method once and I still do it because the results get better every single day. It's like your hair trains itself to be wavy. It's crazy to think about that I was a straight hair girlie.
I just found out that I have wavy hair too and I’ve never used wave products and now I’m so interested!
You definitely have some nice waves! If you have the time and patience to do your hair this way, it looks really beautiful on you 😍
As a person with straight hair: yes you are definitely wavy. There is no amount of plopping or scrunching or air drying that can get so much as a kink in my hair. If you get uneven waves from doing not much, you’ll get lovely waves from doing it properly.
Girl obviously yes I love ur hair and the color slays
I let my hair air dry all the time and it gives me really pretty waves and much more volume than doing anything like blow drying or hair spray.
Girl, same thing happened to me two weeks ago and it blew my mind! Yes our hair is wavy!! I'm 33 and I had NO IDEA !!
omg me too!! I'm 32 and i thought it was just frizzi hair ahahaha
Samee , I realized it las year also that I have wavy hair 😂. Still trying to find ways to define the waves better, so any tips are welcomed 🙏❤ Glad to find that other people went trought the same stuff.
omg same !! Im happy to see we’re not alone hihi
ME TOOO!!! I am 33 and a friend saw a picture of me and said...**Hey! I think you have wavy hair**
i always thought that my hair turned out wavy bc when I slept with wet hair it like scrunched onto the pillow and held its shape, but like sometimes it’s wet from like rain or something and dries wavy so i may try this lol
The diffuser on a blow dryer is a game changer 👌
Pretty sure it's not cause of your pillow lol
@@aubrey7226 yeah probably
I totally get what yours saying! I will say that mine always dried in the exact same shape so I kind of realized it wasn’t just the pillow lol
@@VermilionNovak yeah ill try out a diffuser and see what that does to my hair 😭
You have wavy hair girl!! Yay for versatility!!
I’ve always used natural sun and air to dry my hair. When I need to go somewhere and have no time to air dry I blow dry it but that’s hardly ever. Only when I was younger but now I don’t. I like to keep it natural and it’s healthier 😭 heat isn’t good for your hair if used commonly
Curlyhair for sure! I use the aussie products to help with the curls. The whole line I use and helps a ton!
Yes girl you have naturally beautiful wavy hair 😅
Yes girl! That is a textbook case of wavy hair
OMG YASSS! Cali Beach waves would look so good on you! Gurl you GORGE ❤ but whatever you're pretty not matter what. The waves look really good though.
the 2nd or 3rd day of just conditioning in shower will amaze you after a few weeks of doing that if trying to bring a wave or curl back
Single mum working full time, can’t be the only one to allow my wavy hair to hibernate forever because this effort takes up a whole ass chunk of the say
@helenlea5578
I didn't know I had wavy hair until about 5 years ago (I'll be forever grateful to the girl who told me!)
My routine now is no shampoo, just conditioner. Brush straight after washing whilst still very wet. Tie it up in a towel for a few minutes then let it down to dry naturally. Then I don't brush it again until next time my hair is wet. The longer I've done this, the better it has become, and it seems quite time saving compared to normal washing and brushing.
Try it! And let me know the results 😊
@@jennygoodhand7843 doesn’t tangle.? I’d end up with knots. Also, why no shampoo?
Hi Helen,
I was advised to do this as part of "the curly girl method".
Using quite a lot of conditioner (I always had to anyway as I have long, thick hair) means for me it's quite easy to brush through after washing. I haven't missed the shampoo at all.
In between washes I do find my hair tangles up a bit, but honestly it's worth it for me to just leave it as it is, with beachy looking waves.
Fortunately I don't have anyone trying to run their hands through my hair - I don't know if that's normal or not 😂
I also cut my hair in a way to encourage layers, which I think helps the curls.
So basically I wake up in the morning and my hair is ready to go for the day! And it means I skip on the shampoo stage, blow drying, brushing and styling. For me it's a real time saver and looks much better than before I started doing this. I guess I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you in case you do try it. Best wishes 🤞
I have 3C hair and I can confirm that has potential to be wavy if you use gel or mouse as it locks your curls.
I hope that helps ❤
My hair is like this and I’ve yet to find the right product. Take us on a journey so I can learn!!!
Same
I had super frizzy curly hair as a child and teen, up until my early 20’s. Then after I got cancer and went through chemotherapy my hair grew back wavy and no longer curls like it used to nor is that frizzy. The top portion grows out straight and then it waves mid shaft. It’s crazy how it can change
i have the same kind of hair. as a child i had curly hair. till around 10-11 years old i had my hair as a boy cut so my mom thought it was straight. but now that i have grown it out, my roots are straight but my shafts are wavy. i dont understand what kind of hair type this is
Props to you for beating cancer 😌❤
Same with my aunt she randomly had 3b hair when the rest of the family had straight 1b then she got cancer at 28 and grew it out pin straight she’s sometimes sad about not having curly hair anymore
YAY YOU BEAT CANCER
Ya, chemotherapy can change your hair type - I don't know how or why but I've heard of it happening before. Congrats on beating cancer!
Best thing you can do is see a hair stylist that specializes in waves/ curls. There’s definitely a cut that will help maximize your waves, plus they can recommend a routine, and show you the correct products to use (and how to use them the right way). It’s such a unique journey, have fun! 🎉
I didn't know that, that kind of stylist exists! I am so glad I saw this. Now that I'm a mother with a toddler I'm trying to find a low maintenance way to style my hair that still looks put together
I’ve am currently going thought the exact same this and this was such a live saver
Girl. That hair is GIVING! You have found yourself and you are she!
Hard to believe one doesn’t know one doesn’t have curly or wavy hair… definition is the word!
It’s because your hair seems straight when you brush it out but something is off, like it’s frizzy or flipping out or little curls/waves in a couple spots, so then you just straighten it. It’s so weird because it’s just not as obvious if you have fine hair to tell if it’s straight or wavy sometimes. I would say curls are more obvious
Growing up I would just brush it out right after the shower like my mom taught me. It would always come out frizzy and I chalked it up to just having unhealthy hair because of how much heat I’ve used in middle school. In my family, none of my female cousins or my sister has wavy hair so for me I never thought it to be a possibility. It wasn’t until I was in college where I found out there was actually a method in taking care of waves and that my dads side of the family has more wavy hair lol
it’s more confusing than you’d think 😭 there are different types of wavy hair, and some of them are very subtle especially if you’re used to heat styling. if i blow dry my hair it’s straight, if i let it air dry it’s a tiny bit wavy, and if i really go through the effort of moisturizing, proper products etc it is distinctly wavy. it’s also a lot more wavy when it’s healthy, so a lot of people spend a long time thinking they have frizzy straight hair and keep damaging it by trying to style it as though it were straight hair. the struggle is real
It's not only about the right "things" (products, etc). It's more about getting your hair healthy again. It's about stopping hot tools long enough for the dried/fried parts to grow out/get cut off, and allowing the true shape of your hair follicle grow. It's a journey for sure!
My hair looked like that when I tried to follow the curly method for the first time. The waves are so loose, because we straighten/dry our hair with brushes. In time, your waves will have better form/tighten.
Keep at it girl, it looks gorgeous! I went wavy 5 years ago and even though I’m not pure CGM 100% of the time, my hair is so much healthier and I have fallen in love with my natural waves 🌊💙
