Omfg why does that speak to me so much?! That's exactly what it was!! Not fully curly, so I just figured it must be straight, so I'd try to brush it down, and then I'd get the Hermione hair
Yes, and it caused me to use a (clothes) iron on my hair almost every day through my teen years and then a flat iron everyday in my 20s and it took me a few years to get my hair healthy again. I've only flat ironed it about 5-6x in the last year and I could care less what people think of my fluffy Hermione hair these days.. lol... somedays it looks really nice.. 😂😎
Thank god somebody else doesn’t brush their wet curls! I thought I was going crazy how every other tutorial includes a brushing on wet hair while when I tried it it straightened, flattened and damaged my hair.
I have 2c/3a hair. I brush it while it's wet with conditioner or mask in it. After that I rinse it out, do my part, brush it again so there is no frizz and then I turn the water on and with the shower head I go over my hair a little bit and scrunch so that way my hair clumps back together
Same! I stopped using hairbrushes completely a few weeks ago and my hair has gotten so much healthier and less frizzy! I just finger comb in the shower while conditioning and it works like a charm :)
4:05 FINALLY someone I can relate with. I hate when my hair goes from beautiful curls to straight, I've never met someone with this type of hair and I'm so happy to have found you 🥺❤
YES to no wet brushing, I've actually lost so much hair (my hair keeps breaking off) when I wet brush no matter what kind of brush or comb I use and now I have a ton of frizz
Maybe detangle in the shower with conditioner and wide tooth comb or with your fingers? Def get the underside with the comb cuz i get the same issue lol
That's odd; most people have the opposite experience. I finally found out that if I don't touch my hair with a comb until it's dry, then the tangles all comb out in 20 seconds and the waves are preserved. It took me 20 MINUTES when wet and it didn't look as wavy. Also, I don't get split ends anymore.
LOVE the title and “disclaimer” !! It’s great to see someone acknowledge that not everything works for everyone!! I love to post “self care” things on my socials and think that’s such a big part of any kinda tip you share!
im just now trying to do stuff with my wavys/curls and this helpped alot. I tried flipping my hair and crunching the last few days and hate the way my hair turns out! just frizzy and super loose wavys! So thanks so much! Id love to see a GRWM with your shower routine!
Thank You!!!! I have naturally wavy hair, with dry and frizz ends, so I just get out the straight iron. I would LOVE to wear it wavy, but the numerous videos to achieve that end are more time investment and WORK than results! The products, the flipping, more flipping the scrunching, the carefully scrunching blow-drying, finger curls...more product...And when you get up the next morning, you start over again! YOU are the first and ONLY one who makes total sense, and makes me feel that I can DO this!!! :- )) Oh, and I belong to the 'wash every 3-4 day club' too. Again THANK YOU SOOOO Much!!!! I think you're going to change my life.
I’ll probably never get a devacut either. Because my waves are SO loose, I can just brush it when it’s wet, put a little oil in it, and I’ll have almost straight hair with just a couple kinks in it. And that’s sorta how I take a “break” from my waves, and just let it be for a few days. And I do it pretty often too. So my hair when it’s straight would be SO uneven and would look like I tried to cut my own layers but failed miserably 😂. I usually just get a normal haircut and it still looks good when I style it wavy!
Same here. My waves are never the same. I cut my hair after blow drying straight. I am trying to grow out layers that only made my hair frizzy and disrupted the wave pattern.
AN IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never brush your hair when it’s wet. It’s a lot weaker when it’s wet and could more easily be pulled out and damaged. Also don’t just add in the dry shampoo then rub it in, no don’t do that! Instead spray in the dry shampoo, then after a FEW MINUTES, rub it in but not too vigorously. Next avoid any shampoos, serums, leave ins, conditioners, or any other products that contain any silicones, drying alcohols, sulphates, and parabens.
My teachers always said my wavy hair was ugly and untidy, and that I better straighten it. I didn't because I loved it the way it was. Thank you for showing me how to take good care of it!
OHMYGOD SOMEONE WITH MY EXACT HAIR YESSSS I WAS DOING SO MANY THINGS WRONG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was brushing my hair when It was wet and I’d get big beach waves which I liked but I really wanted to see how naturally curly my hair could be...I’m going to start today! Keep you guys updated :D
@@lll3388 I know she advised against it, but I usually detangle my hair in the shower when it has conditioner. Or I brush it while it's dry right before a shower, with a lil conditioner if its too tangled. As long as you aren't in the wind all day, sweating a whole lot, or rolling around while you sleep, you should be alright. If you do have those problems it might help to tie your hair up. Its difficult to break the routine of brushing your hair every day, but it does get easier.
@@lll3388 wearing it in a protective style while sleeping helps! I usually put my hair in a lil silk wrap for example. That way it doesn't tangle up during sleep.
Hey girl. How do you refresh your hair when you’re not washing it? I have such a hard time with that. Like the way my curls change after sleeping on them, just makes me wanna keep washing my hair.
I'm the same way! I use dry shampoo on non wash days...but my waves definitely get flat when I sleep on them. I think my hair might just be damaged and unhealthy from years of not knowing how to properly care for it.
you might have seen this already by now but she has a video on this (ruclips.net/video/vYenF5iv8e8/видео.html ). Tldr; lightly comb through if needed, spray with water and a protein leave-in conditioner, then scrunch!
the 1st day I wash my hair it gets kinda straight but as the days go by my hair texture gets really wavy (my hair is straight from the roots and the rest is wavy) idk what to do😭
Girl I'm not an English-native speaker but I do know how to speak English, and sometimes I'm glad of that cause I can say things I wanna say. This is one of those situations. I just wanna say you are beautiful, like you really are. That's it 💕 🇦🇷
Same with waves turning out different each time! Also nice to see another wavy with coloured hair. MIne is bleached at the ends and I love it blonde so I can't give up the highlights.
Thank you for showing how straight bangs look great with wavy/curly hair. My bangs don’t wave or curl but the rest of my hair is wavy. I’m not sure if that is because they are shorter than the rest of my hair, but I have seen endless videos how to have curly bangs and mine don’t actually curl. I also have a very pronounced widows peak so I’ve always had bangs because my hair doesn’t fall right without bangs.
My hair get tangled so easily that I feel like I don’t have a choice but to brush it wet. 🥺 If I brush it dry it goes POOF. 😅 Another question that I’ve had for a long time though is how much hair loss is considered normal when shampooing/conditioning etc? I’m always on the fence on how I should wear it because if I don’t brush it, it tangles and I get more hair loss but my waves look better. And then if I do brush it, my waves are looser but with less hair loss. (And I’m not losing a HUGE amount, no bald spots or anything, it’s just a concern for me. I’m trying to fix some breakage.) And recommendations for some VERY light leave in conditioners??? 🖤🖤🖤
Cleo Kreiger hair loss is normal. Hair loss to breakage means there’s some damage and in that case I definitely would not brush it wet. What I would do is gently brush it before your shower. Your hair is more fragile when wet and will snap off. When my hair was long and tangly I’d brush it before my shower and as long as I got it wet again AFTER I brushed it, I still got a tighter curl out of it. You just can’t brush it and then wear it that way. You have to brush it, then wash it gently so you don’t tangle it again and then apply styling products ☺️ try that! 🖤 you also need protein and moisturizing treatments to repair the damage. I’m posting a video soon on how to care for damaged hair
Do NOT use a brush on your hair if it goes frizzy with a brush! Use wide-tooth combs only! It's the same mistake a lot curly-haired people make; someone told them that brushing was a necessity, and it jolly well isn't.
Thank you so much for the advice. I've been making these mistakes for my whole life. I was born with naturally curly hair but then my hair straightened the more I aged. I finally know how why my baby curls disappeared.
Have you tried NOT raking? Raking is actually disturbing the clumps your trying to form... there are actual brushes for helping your hair to curl. Wet brushes and flexi-brushes would help you ends curl better...
I have! My hair dries so differently every time it’s hard to measure what is enhancing my curls, the product or the different application technique. I’m currently not raking and my hair is drying the same. I just scrunch the product into my ends and smooth a little on the top to prevent frizz and that’s it! I was thinking the same thing that raking was messing up my curl clumps but it looks the same either way so I don’t think it makes a difference for my waves ☺️
@@melindab I will usually rake in my leave in, and then use the scrunchit brush to make sure its distributed all the way through... I use the scrunchit brush for my creams too. The brush also helps to clump back up anything that scrunching and raking may have broken up. But as soon as I introduce a gel or gel type custard, no more using the brush. All scrunching, roping and prayer hands from there lol
How do you get rid of “old hair” if you don’t brush your hair? If I don’t brush my hair for a while it gets really frizzy and I will have loose hair on my clothes everywhere..
Omg great tips and advice I’m going to give these all a try! I’ve been trying on and off for over a year and get so discouraged because by the time my hair is dry I lose all curl pattern and definition and I started to feel defeated I’m giving these tips a shot because I feel like it could be the mistakes I’ve been making all along!
I have super thick, wavy hair that’s waist length. I’m 56, have never blown it dry, used hairspray, or colored it. It’s black, so why bother? I use a bamboo towel on my hair, and the towel is super long. I gently squeeze the water out of my hair in the shower. I use an entire bottle of moisturizing conditioner on my hair and comb it through with a wide toothed comb. I wash my hair once every 3-4 weeks as it’s coarse. I let it air-dry, as it takes 2-3 days to dry. I basically just get a trim every 6 weeks. The odd thing? I have a ton of hair on my head, but zero body hair. I’ve never 🪒 shaved my legs or armpits! Women say, “I would kill for hair like yours.” People often come up to me and say, “Can I touch it?” I let them. My brows grow in thick, so I do have them threaded. I never brush my hair when it’s wet. I feel bad for the girl who trims my hair, as she must sit down near the floor on a stool to trim the ends. I tip her very well. I always keep my hair moisturized. I feel very lucky.🍀
I have wavy hair but in the past I never really tried to help the curls and I also had a straight cut all around. My hair is very long and the one length I think made my hair heavy and I lost my curl. But a few days ago I got layers and I’m honestly really struggling and getting so frustrated. At first I really liked it, but now I’m seeing how irregular my curl pattern is and the different layers stick out and it looks really messy and it’s upsetting me. I’m gonna try out these tips and if anyone has any tips on how i can better blend in the layers, I’d be so thankful💞
I recently started brushing my hair I the shower and have definitely noticed my waves are stretched out 🙄 definitely not doing that anymore. So glad I found you because we have similar hair type can’t wait for more videos 😁
Your bangs look really good❤️ I always wanted bangs with curly hair but I'm afraid they won't look good. Can you do a video on how you maintain your bangs🤗
Ok..so first off-ur hair looks great! 2nd-i wish I could not use conditioner or more importantly not brush it when wet. My hair kinks SO BAD. There no chance in hell I wouldn't brush it while it's wet-thats like my only chance of not ripping it apart, esp now that its blonde🤣 I have to use so much detangler too, lol. So happy that I found ogx argan oil of Morocco♡ 3rd-thank u for mentioning the "diva cut". I HATE when stylists try to cut my hair dry. They don't understand that it looks crazy when I straighten it after🤦🏼♀️It makes me so mad, lol. Every1s hair is so unique, and often times we know our hair best, even though we can use some pointers! I need to get me a microfiber hair towel, because I can definitely tell that regular towels frizz and break it. The outer layer of my hair is so frizzy, dry, and such a loose waive, that its almost straight, while the middle and some of the underneath has cute curls, lol. Ive never tried a curl shampoo or any products besides mousse, once in a while, and always wanted straight hair, but now id like to give my naturally wavy/curly hair a real fighting chance, lol. Thanks for the vid girl!
I actually do 3 out of 5 of these. I use a regular towel, which I may starr switching out now and I tend to play with it while It's drying. For me the most important is not brushing it while wet. My hair actually doesn't tangle much, so I mostly only brush it right before I shower.
I almost want to cry. This is the first time someone has the same issue as me. Like I used to have dead straight hair when I was young and they kept getting more wavy as I grew. I'm in my twenties now and now literally they have NO identity. If I brush them when theyre wet and brish them very often, they're straight. If I don't theyre properly curly. And sometimes they re beachy. I lived in the desert in the middle east, then on the coast and now in the desert again and my hair are so unpredictable. I'm going to try your techniques and give them a tighter wavy definition because straight is straight, but very frizzy. So hope it works!!!
Hi! I have very similar hair and i was curious, what do you do on days you don’t wash your hair to keep it refreshed? At the end you mentioned you spray it, but with what? any suggestions/products recs. would be helpful 😊
You’re so lucky your hair is long 🌺 I’m growing out a pixie cut. I got COVID 2 summers ago and had straight hair my whole life. And when my hair started growing back last June it came in curly. But after 8 months it’s loose waves with a little bit of the curls at the ends. It’s been a grueling process to grow out my hair. It’s still short, but slowly growing out. I feel like with each cut it is cutting off the curly part of my hair and I am wondering if I barely have waves that are growing in. How long did it take you to grow your hair long?
Fascinating. My hair is just a bit curlier than yours, and I have to style it with a denman while wet to get definition. I also won’t ever get a diva cut, because my hair is really dynamic and I do like to heat style my shag cut to look all 70s.
Me: watching this with wavy/curly hair You: don't use a traditional towel to dry your hair it can cause breakage Me: is wearing a traditional towel to dry my hair Me: 😮
You can use a cotton t-shirt as well or a big satin scarf. I don't own a big satin scarf but I own satin pillow cases. Which I use sometimes instead of a cotton t-shirt.
I brush when my hair is dry before showering and again after I've added my products because it knots up in the shower. I find this helps distribute my products because I have allot of hair, it's waist length. I also use a traditional towel but I don't rub my hair with it. I just put it up in it and gently squeeze it with the towel. I prefer a nice big towel because my hair is so long. I also scrunch when my hair is drying. I scrunch with my hands whilst I diffuse because I just can't get used to just using the diffuser. I've always scrunched with my hands holding the hair up towards the scalp and holding the hair dryer nozzle so it blows into a handful of hair. It gives me really nice curls so I'm still trying to get what the point is in the diffuser?😂😂. I've never heard of a diva cut and I wash every three days because my scalp is oily.
Wow this seems actually helpful! I've always used a traditional towel on my hair, then wondered why my hair was so frizzy. But most of all, I just had to comment because when I searched "tips for wavy hair" and saw this video, it felt like fate. 😄 And my name is also Melinda!
Do you use a shampoo and conditioner with silicones and sulfates in them? Do you think using silicone and sulfate free stuff is that big a deal for wavy hair? Like do you see that it makes a drastic difference vs. using products with sulfates and silicones?
I haven’t noticed a huge difference in having them or not having them. I think it depends on your hair and then what other products you’re using. I’d try both ways and see what your hair likes ☺️ for me, trying to avoid them was a pain and I saw zero change after several months so I just went back to using whatever I wanted and my hair still looks the same. It’s all just figuring out the right product combination for your specific hair ☺️
I usually brush my hair in a way where I make its way up and sometimes braid it while it dries up and I noticed my hair doesn’t get as much tangled anymore
It is crazy how hair works, I also have wavy hair, really similar to yours, but my hair actually looks better when I brush it while in the shower with a brush, my hair is usually straight from the top for some weird reason haha so I realized that when I brush it, it actually gives my hair more volume (I don’t have a lot of volume because I have thin hair) and it curls from the top, I’ve done this “experiment “ for some weeks now, and it has shown really good results on my hair, I guess I’ll just keep on doing it haha uwu
i’m currently brushing my hair in the shower and for most of my life i’ve (wet) brushed my hair right after my shower..... never knew my hair was wavy until recently so your first tip makes so much sense! i wonder if that’s the case for my waves. i’m going to try it out 😛
I was watching this video while untangling my hair after shower and ngl when she mentioned the first point I ran faster than flash to the bathroom to wet my hair again😭😭😭
Great tips! So as for haircuts..what kind of haircut DO you get? 🙃 I'm close to needing one again and still in the ''transition'' hair stage. Depending on the wash day results and all, I've got anything from 2A-3A in there 😅
Sometimes I’d go out with my hair wet or I was it the day before and just lightly refresh in the morning so it’ll dry quicker. But I work from home so it’s not a huge issue for me anymore. But I’m pretty comfortable going out with soaking wet hair bc that’s just what I have to do sometimes 😋
Microfibre is plastic. It never decomposes. Cotton is natural and way more absorbant. The harm comes from rubbing the hair, so just gently wrap it in cotton. A regular terry cloth towel will dry your hair faster.
Hi! Thanks for making this video. Im so happy i found ur vid about curly/wavy hair. I’ve been really struggling the best way to style my semi curly hair. What really frustrated me is that i want my bangs straight like you. But it wont stay 30minutes long outdoor. Do u hv maybe any suggestion for the bangs to stay straight long? Thankyou
My wavy hair is so frustrating, I can never get it right. I always hop out of the shower, try putting in some products and plopping it or twisting it into a microfiber hair wrap or even letting it air dry if I have time before I sleep but it always all goes to waste when I sleep. I wake up and I have flat hair and it’s frizzy and unmanageable. I don’t know how people go to sleep with curly/wavy hair😩
Funny that so many things you don't do to your hair, I found oevr the years I don't do either.ainly brushing when wet - NOPE!! hello christmas tree and frizz!! Growing up I always thought my hair was straight, but I am finding as I get older, it is definitely wavy. Perhaps that has changed as I age. Either way, I did find a couple things you said insightful. I don't typically like using product and never had to before, living in a desert climate. BUT since moving to a humid climate I am finding I may have to bite the bullet and start using some products to Com at the FRIZZ!!! :-( what products do you use? I typically have shed away from them as my hair tends to get dull with product on it (I have kind of mahogany ginger colored hair - looks brownish red) and when I put product in it, it feels heavy and dull.
I use a leave in conditioner and a gel! It’s a great combo for wavy hair! Use products with protein in them to help the curl last longer rather than tighter hold products! I have updated curly hair routines and my fave protects where I tell you all the best ones!
Thank you for the tips!! Can you recommend any drug store hair products for wavy hair?? My hair isn't curly, but definitely wavy with a lot of frizz unfortunately. It's such a struggle & I never know what to buy.

Same! I’d get some protein in your hair! That’ll help with frizz, strength to prevent breakage and enhance your curls!🖤🖤
Wide toothed combs help with combing out the tangles
If I didn't brush wet I'd have a frizzy mess on my head and eventually dreadlocks...lol
I feel you! Lol definitely always do what’s best for your hair 🖤
Maybe detangle in the shower with conditioner and wide tooth comb or with your fingers? Def get the underside with the comb cuz i get the same issue lol

I’ll probably never get a devacut either. Because my waves are SO loose, I can just brush it when it’s wet, put a little oil in it, and I’ll have almost straight hair with just a couple kinks in it. And that’s sorta how I take a “break” from my waves, and just let it be for a few days. And I do it pretty often too. So my hair when it’s straight would be SO uneven and would look like I tried to cut my own layers but failed miserably 😂. I usually just get a normal haircut and it still looks good when I style it wavy!
I regretted my Devacut. Over a hundred bucks to look like an 80s perm victim? Never again.
Ellie Stewart omg 😂 I’m so sorry
Same here. My waves are never the same. I cut my hair after blow drying straight. I am trying to grow out layers that only made my hair frizzy and disrupted the wave pattern.

Why avoid silicones?
Do you know of any leave ins that are free of drying chemicals and parabens? I was using a leave in but I want to do what’s good for my hair.
So I can brush my hair when it’s dry? Because my hair gets so tangled even if I sleep with a satin bonnet I have to cut the knots off it’s horrible

I know she advised against it, but I usually detangle my hair in the shower when it has conditioner. Or I brush it while it's dry right before a shower, with a lil conditioner if its too tangled.
As long as you aren't in the wind all day, sweating a whole lot, or rolling around while you sleep, you should be alright. If you do have those problems it might help to tie your hair up.
Its difficult to break the routine of brushing your hair every day, but it does get easier.
@@lll3388 wearing it in a protective style while sleeping helps! I usually put my hair in a lil silk wrap for example. That way it doesn't tangle up during sleep.
I have a wavy hair routine up too if you want product recommendations 🥰
"My curl look different every single day"
Yeaaah .. me too
Hey girl. How do you refresh your hair when you’re not washing it? I have such a hard time with that. Like the way my curls change after sleeping on them, just makes me wanna keep washing my hair.
I'm the same way! I use dry shampoo on non wash days...but my waves definitely get flat when I sleep on them. I think my hair might just be damaged and unhealthy from years of not knowing how to properly care for it.
you might have seen this already by now but she has a video on this (ruclips.net/video/vYenF5iv8e8/видео.html ). Tldr; lightly comb through if needed, spray with water and a protein leave-in conditioner, then scrunch!
u can scrunch and diffuse in the morning, it might be a bit time consuming tho
What I do is spray my hair til damp with a spray bottle then add a tiny bit of my styling products and I air dry or diffuse it
You can wet your hair a bit, skip shampoo and apply some products
Your makeup is just so pretty! You’re gorgeous, girl!
the 1st day I wash my hair it gets kinda straight but as the days go by my hair texture gets really wavy (my hair is straight from the roots and the rest is wavy) idk what to do😭
Try a protein product! I recommend a great one In My refresh routine🥰
I've been doing most of these things because people online said they were really important but they didn't work for me at all, thank you for this!
Girl I'm not an English-native speaker but I do know how to speak English, and sometimes I'm glad of that cause I can say things I wanna say. This is one of those situations. I just wanna say you are beautiful, like you really are. That's it 💕 🇦🇷
Awh thank you so much! You’re English is great!🖤
also, if my hair is wet and i don't scrunch it, they weight of the gel and water weighs it all down, so it dries straight
Same with waves turning out different each time! Also nice to see another wavy with coloured hair. MIne is bleached at the ends and I love it blonde so I can't give up the highlights.
Thank you for showing how straight bangs look great with wavy/curly hair. My bangs don’t wave or curl but the rest of my hair is wavy. I’m not sure if that is because they are shorter than the rest of my hair, but I have seen endless videos how to have curly bangs and mine don’t actually curl. I also have a very pronounced widows peak so I’ve always had bangs because my hair doesn’t fall right without bangs.
Omg we have basically the same wave pattern! I love it!
Awh yay!🥰
My hair get tangled so easily that I feel like I don’t have a choice but to brush it wet. 🥺 If I brush it dry it goes POOF. 😅 Another question that I’ve had for a long time though is how much hair loss is considered normal when shampooing/conditioning etc? I’m always on the fence on how I should wear it because if I don’t brush it, it tangles and I get more hair loss but my waves look better. And then if I do brush it, my waves are looser but with less hair loss. (And I’m not losing a HUGE amount, no bald spots or anything, it’s just a concern for me. I’m trying to fix some breakage.) And recommendations for some VERY light leave in conditioners??? 🖤🖤🖤
Cleo Kreiger hair loss is normal. Hair loss to breakage means there’s some damage and in that case I definitely would not brush it wet. What I would do is gently brush it before your shower. Your hair is more fragile when wet and will snap off. When my hair was long and tangly I’d brush it before my shower and as long as I got it wet again AFTER I brushed it, I still got a tighter curl out of it. You just can’t brush it and then wear it that way. You have to brush it, then wash it gently so you don’t tangle it again and then apply styling products ☺️ try that! 🖤 you also need protein and moisturizing treatments to repair the damage. I’m posting a video soon on how to care for damaged hair
Do NOT use a brush on your hair if it goes frizzy with a brush! Use wide-tooth combs only! It's the same mistake a lot curly-haired people make; someone told them that brushing was a necessity, and it jolly well isn't.
Thank you so much for the advice. I've been making these mistakes for my whole life. I was born with naturally curly hair but then my hair straightened the more I aged. I finally know how why my baby curls disappeared.
Jαelynn Αli you’re welcome!☺️🖤🖤
ah... I literally do all of these things and wonder why my waves are so frizzy...😖
your hair is so gorgeous, I’m definitely subscribing
I'm so jealous of how healthy your hair is
It was indeed very helpful than many other super long videos.
Awesome!🖤🖤
@@melindab Thank you so much!! You're pretty by the way😃😊.
Have you tried NOT raking? Raking is actually disturbing the clumps your trying to form... there are actual brushes for helping your hair to curl. Wet brushes and flexi-brushes would help you ends curl better...
I have! My hair dries so differently every time it’s hard to measure what is enhancing my curls, the product or the different application technique. I’m currently not raking and my hair is drying the same. I just scrunch the product into my ends and smooth a little on the top to prevent frizz and that’s it! I was thinking the same thing that raking was messing up my curl clumps but it looks the same either way so I don’t think it makes a difference for my waves ☺️
@@melindab I will usually rake in my leave in, and then use the scrunchit brush to make sure its distributed all the way through...
I use the scrunchit brush for my creams too. The brush also helps to clump back up anything that scrunching and raking may have broken up.
But as soon as I introduce a gel or gel type custard, no more using the brush. All scrunching, roping and prayer hands from there lol
Randi Poe interesting! I do the praying hands method sometimes too☺️
How do you get rid of “old hair” if you don’t brush your hair? If I don’t brush my hair for a while it gets really frizzy and I will have loose hair on my clothes everywhere..
Omg great tips and advice I’m going to give these all a try! I’ve been trying on and off for over a year and get so discouraged because by the time my hair is dry I lose all curl pattern and definition and I started to feel defeated I’m giving these tips a shot because I feel like it could be the mistakes I’ve been making all along!
Also your hair is GORGEOUS! ❤️❤️❤️
I think my waves are similar to yours, but I’ve been struggling with mine ☹️
Just keep trying! I’d try adding protein! It helps with definition. I mention my favorite product for protein in my refresh routine!🖤
Me too
Why no one is talking about how pretty she is?
Omg you’re so sweet 🥺🖤
Exactly girl. I have hair like this and I NEVER BRUSH MY HAIR. only with my hands. And it comes out so much better that way!
You have a very cool and unique look/style!
Awh thank you!🖤🖤
i’m mainly struggling with frizz
Same
Try protein ☺️ over moisturized hair can be frizzy. I recommend a product with protein in my refresh routine video🖤
same i’m watching so much videos on how to help my healthy hair and what products to use for it
I liked this before even watching it just because your hair looks so pretty and perfectly wavy ❤️
You’re sweet🥰🖤
I have super thick, wavy hair that’s waist length. I’m 56, have never blown it dry, used hairspray, or colored it. It’s black, so why bother? I use a bamboo towel on my hair, and the towel is super long. I gently squeeze the water out of my hair in the shower. I use an entire bottle of moisturizing conditioner on my hair and comb it through with a wide toothed comb. I wash my hair once every 3-4 weeks as it’s coarse. I let it air-dry, as it takes 2-3 days to dry. I basically just get a trim every 6 weeks. The odd thing? I have a ton of hair on my head, but zero body hair. I’ve never 🪒 shaved my legs or armpits! Women say, “I would kill for hair like yours.” People often come up to me and say, “Can I touch it?” I let them. My brows grow in thick, so I do have them threaded. I never brush my hair when it’s wet. I feel bad for the girl who trims my hair, as she must sit down near the floor on a stool to trim the ends. I tip her very well. I always keep my hair moisturized. I feel very lucky.🍀
I have wavy hair but in the past I never really tried to help the curls and I also had a straight cut all around. My hair is very long and the one length I think made my hair heavy and I lost my curl.
But a few days ago I got layers and I’m honestly really struggling and getting so frustrated. At first I really liked it, but now I’m seeing how irregular my curl pattern is and the different layers stick out and it looks really messy and it’s upsetting me. I’m gonna try out these tips and if anyone has any tips on how i can better blend in the layers, I’d be so thankful💞
I recently started brushing my hair I the shower and have definitely noticed my waves are stretched out 🙄 definitely not doing that anymore. So glad I found you because we have similar hair type can’t wait for more videos 😁
I'm gonna start brushing my hair in the shower to hopefully get rid of my waves.
I’ve had that happen with my hair too if I get it cut dry. Really like this video! Can’t wait to try some of your tips 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing!
I think you are the only person in this world who gives tips por actual wavy hair and not curls :( thanks
I never knew about the brushing wet hair thing 💕
Your bangs look really good❤️
I always wanted bangs with curly hair but I'm afraid they won't look good. Can you do a video on how you maintain your bangs🤗
Like cutting and styling? Sure!
@@melindab yes! Thank you🤗❤️❤️
It depends on the wave type. My wave bounce right back, so I brush them while I style- if I don’t do that it becomes a frizzy mess in 5 minutes
Ok..so first off-ur hair looks great! 2nd-i wish I could not use conditioner or more importantly not brush it when wet. My hair kinks SO BAD. There no chance in hell I wouldn't brush it while it's wet-thats like my only chance of not ripping it apart, esp now that its blonde🤣 I have to use so much detangler too, lol. So happy that I found ogx argan oil of Morocco♡ 3rd-thank u for mentioning the "diva cut". I HATE when stylists try to cut my hair dry. They don't understand that it looks crazy when I straighten it after🤦🏼♀️It makes me so mad, lol. Every1s hair is so unique, and often times we know our hair best, even though we can use some pointers! I need to get me a microfiber hair towel, because I can definitely tell that regular towels frizz and break it. The outer layer of my hair is so frizzy, dry, and such a loose waive, that its almost straight, while the middle and some of the underneath has cute curls, lol. Ive never tried a curl shampoo or any products besides mousse, once in a while, and always wanted straight hair, but now id like to give my naturally wavy/curly hair a real fighting chance, lol. Thanks for the vid girl!
I actually do 3 out of 5 of these. I use a regular towel, which I may starr switching out now and I tend to play with it while It's drying. For me the most important is not brushing it while wet. My hair actually doesn't tangle much, so I mostly only brush it right before I shower.
get a wooden brush/comb if you have problems with frizz! plastic creates static also micro plastics will cause your hair to stop growing!!!
I struggle with the top layer of my hair being a lot less defined, but the bottom layer is a lot wavier? Ugh it’s so frustrating
Hey! Ur video was absolutely helpful..I love ur hair🖤🖤, can u tell me what products do u use and some tips to give a healthy look to my hair
I have a whole styling and refresh routine up!🥰
I almost want to cry. This is the first time someone has the same issue as me. Like I used to have dead straight hair when I was young and they kept getting more wavy as I grew. I'm in my twenties now and now literally they have NO identity. If I brush them when theyre wet and brish them very often, they're straight. If I don't theyre properly curly. And sometimes they re beachy. I lived in the desert in the middle east, then on the coast and now in the desert again and my hair are so unpredictable. I'm going to try your techniques and give them a tighter wavy definition because straight is straight, but very frizzy. So hope it works!!!
Hi! I have very similar hair and i was curious, what do you do on days you don’t wash your hair to keep it refreshed? At the end you mentioned you spray it, but with what? any suggestions/products recs. would be helpful 😊
Hi!! I have a video on my channel if my refresh routine 🥰 it’s super simple but it works so well!
You’re so lucky your hair is long 🌺
I’m growing out a pixie cut. I got COVID 2 summers ago and had straight hair my whole life. And when my hair started growing back last June it came in curly. But after 8 months it’s loose waves with a little bit of the curls at the ends. It’s been a grueling process to grow out my hair. It’s still short, but slowly growing out.
I feel like with each cut it is cutting off the curly part of my hair and I am wondering if I barely have waves that are growing in.
How long did it take you to grow your hair long?
Fascinating. My hair is just a bit curlier than yours, and I have to style it with a denman while wet to get definition. I also won’t ever get a diva cut, because my hair is really dynamic and I do like to heat style my shag cut to look all 70s.
Such a pretty girl with pretty hair! What are your styling products?
Please do a room tour- ur background looks incredible
Me: watching this with wavy/curly hair
You: don't use a traditional towel to dry your hair it can cause breakage
Me: is wearing a traditional towel to dry my hair
Me: 😮
You can use a cotton t-shirt as well or a big satin scarf. I don't own a big satin scarf but I own satin pillow cases. Which I use sometimes instead of a cotton t-shirt.
😂 it’s ok! We’re all learning🖤🖤
TexasRed yes!!
@@melindab 🙂
You are drop dead gorgeous !
Aw thank you!!🥺
My issue is that most of my hair is 2a/b but the underneath layer at the back is 1b 💔💔
Daniella Elm that’s normal! Mine is similar! Try adding protein
I brush when my hair is dry before showering and again after I've added my products because it knots up in the shower. I find this helps distribute my products because I have allot of hair, it's waist length. I also use a traditional towel but I don't rub my hair with it. I just put it up in it and gently squeeze it with the towel. I prefer a nice big towel because my hair is so long. I also scrunch when my hair is drying. I scrunch with my hands whilst I diffuse because I just can't get used to just using the diffuser. I've always scrunched with my hands holding the hair up towards the scalp and holding the hair dryer nozzle so it blows into a handful of hair. It gives me really nice curls so I'm still trying to get what the point is in the diffuser?😂😂. I've never heard of a diva cut and I wash every three days because my scalp is oily.
Wow this seems actually helpful! I've always used a traditional towel on my hair, then wondered why my hair was so frizzy. But most of all, I just had to comment because when I searched "tips for wavy hair" and saw this video, it felt like fate. 😄 And my name is also Melinda!
girl what products do you use.. ur curls are my goal. Theyre just like minme but healthier, shinier, and more defined
Do you use a shampoo and conditioner with silicones and sulfates in them? Do you think using silicone and sulfate free stuff is that big a deal for wavy hair? Like do you see that it makes a drastic difference vs. using products with sulfates and silicones?
I went silicone free a while back and my hair just feels so much better, sulphates once in a while are fine for me atleast.
I haven’t noticed a huge difference in having them or not having them. I think it depends on your hair and then what other products you’re using. I’d try both ways and see what your hair likes ☺️ for me, trying to avoid them was a pain and I saw zero change after several months so I just went back to using whatever I wanted and my hair still looks the same. It’s all just figuring out the right product combination for your specific hair ☺️
This is extremely straight forward and helpful!!
I usually brush my hair in a way where I make its way up and sometimes braid it while it dries up and I noticed my hair doesn’t get as much tangled anymore
Can I ask you what lipstick you are wearing? It looks gorgeous on you!
Anja S Awh thank you! It’s arriba by colourpop ☺️
It is crazy how hair works, I also have wavy hair, really similar to yours, but my hair actually looks better when I brush it while in the shower with a brush, my hair is usually straight from the top for some weird reason haha so I realized that when I brush it, it actually gives my hair more volume (I don’t have a lot of volume because I have thin hair) and it curls from the top, I’ve done this “experiment “ for some weeks now, and it has shown really good results on my hair, I guess I’ll just keep on doing it haha uwu
i’m currently brushing my hair in the shower and for most of my life i’ve (wet) brushed my hair right after my shower..... never knew my hair was wavy until recently so your first tip makes so much sense! i wonder if that’s the case for my waves. i’m going to try it out 😛
I love your specs 👓 just loveee them!!! So cool
I am smitten with your glasses. So cute!
Guadalupe Mendez thanks 🥰
I personally brush my hair wet bc i have tight curls and I want them to be less tight. your tips are great!
I was watching this video while untangling my hair after shower and ngl when she mentioned the first point I ran faster than flash to the bathroom to wet my hair again😭😭😭
I have wavyish hair, but my scalp definitley gets oils and will lie flat. my ends will be wavy though
I brush my wet hair with a denman brush and it helps with my waves/curls.
Yeah I’ve tried a denman brush and it stretched out my waves but I might have been doing it wrong 😜
@@melindab I watched alot of vedios on how to use it first. I use the brush kind of like when you use a flat iron to curl hair.
Your hair looks so good! Did you really upload this only a year ago? Your hair is SO long now!
Great tips! So as for haircuts..what kind of haircut DO you get? 🙃 I'm close to needing one again and still in the ''transition'' hair stage. Depending on the wash day results and all, I've got anything from 2A-3A in there 😅
I have a video on my haircut!🖤
@@melindab oe awesome! Going to see if I can find it 😄
What time do you wake up to be able to let your hair dry for four hours? I would have to wake up at 4 in the morning to be able to make that work
I let my hair air dry so i just don't wash it in the morning i do it the day before
I also wash my hair at the evening i think its a lot healthier
Sometimes I’d go out with my hair wet or I was it the day before and just lightly refresh in the morning so it’ll dry quicker. But I work from home so it’s not a huge issue for me anymore. But I’m pretty comfortable going out with soaking wet hair bc that’s just what I have to do sometimes 😋
Microfibre is plastic. It never decomposes. Cotton is natural and way more absorbant. The harm comes from rubbing the hair, so just gently wrap it in cotton. A regular terry cloth towel will dry your hair faster.
Hi! Thanks for making this video. Im so happy i found ur vid about curly/wavy hair. I’ve been really struggling the best way to style my semi curly hair.
What really frustrated me is that i want my bangs straight like you. But it wont stay 30minutes long outdoor. Do u hv maybe any suggestion for the bangs to stay straight long? Thankyou
your hair is exactly like mine! i wear mine straight majority of the time though.
Thank you! Can you also make a video on refreshing the curls after wash?
My wavy hair is so frustrating, I can never get it right. I always hop out of the shower, try putting in some products and plopping it or twisting it into a microfiber hair wrap or even letting it air dry if I have time before I sleep but it always all goes to waste when I sleep. I wake up and I have flat hair and it’s frizzy and unmanageable. I don’t know how people go to sleep with curly/wavy hair😩
Funny that so many things you don't do to your hair, I found oevr the years I don't do either.ainly brushing when wet - NOPE!! hello christmas tree and frizz!! Growing up I always thought my hair was straight, but I am finding as I get older, it is definitely wavy. Perhaps that has changed as I age. Either way, I did find a couple things you said insightful. I don't typically like using product and never had to before, living in a desert climate. BUT since moving to a humid climate I am finding I may have to bite the bullet and start using some products to Com at the FRIZZ!!! :-( what products do you use? I typically have shed away from them as my hair tends to get dull with product on it (I have kind of mahogany ginger colored hair - looks brownish red) and when I put product in it, it feels heavy and dull.
You are absolutely GORGEOUS!
Awh thank you so much😭🖤🖤
What product do you use on your hair? It looks so soft. When I use mousse on my hair to keep the curls longer, it is hard and stringy.
I use a leave in conditioner and a gel! It’s a great combo for wavy hair! Use products with protein in them to help the curl last longer rather than tighter hold products! I have updated curly hair routines and my fave protects where I tell you all the best ones!
Thank you for the tips!! Can you recommend any drug store hair products for wavy hair?? My hair isn't curly, but definitely wavy with a lot of frizz unfortunately. It's such a struggle & I never know what to buy.
Yep! Go check out my styling routine! It’s pretty much all drugstore 🖤
Your hair is so beautiful! What product do you use after you’ve washed your hair?
Thank you! I have my updated styling routine posted with all of my current products 🖤🖤
The lady at the salon gave me a diva cut after brushing my curls out💀
