Thank you for showing us we can be a rebel and brush out our hair on day 2. As a very loose wavy, I absolutely have to comb it out...there is no other way!
To be very honest with your Courtney lately I’ve been wanting to keep my wash days simple and energy efficient. I don’t wanna put a leave in conditioner , then a curl cream then a foam then a gel then an oil to scrunch out the crunch. It’s too much work! Perhaps I had more energy and enthusiasm for CGM when I started it but now I just want something that’s simple yet effective. I’m loving these quick wash days you’re promoting lately.
I haven't started this method yet but I know that when I do that I would keep it for certain occasions. If I want to go swimming on a whim I don't want to load my hair with products.
No matter what else I use, I ALWAYS use Aussie spray gel- it is the perfect product for a great hold that feels light😊❤ Use it with the diffuser, the curls WILL stay 😊❤
After 2 1/2 years of wearing my hair in its natural wavy state, I have yet to make it through a _day 2_ because I, too, am a rebel! 😆 On the rare occasion that I do try to make it 2 days, I end up washing my hair at 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon because my head starts itching and I just don't _feel_ clean. 🤷🏼♀🙄 I have always washed my hair daily and even though I'm older than Methuselah 😂 I am still washing daily (much to the dismay of my stylist)! 😏 Thanks, as always for the invaluable tips/tricks - you rock! ❤
My stylist fusses at me too, for washing daily😂😂😂❤ I have LONG 2c curls and have tried to find a way to at least skip a day so I wouldn't dry it out so much- pretty much all that works for that is sleep in the recliner and throw it over the back, lol😂😂😂 But I recently found out how great of a curl refresher the Shea Moisture mousse can be for me! It makes lovely fluffy curls in 2nd day hair, with my diffuser, of course!❤
So grateful you did this video! For me, I find a day 2 refresh is easier with the LUS line because I think its all water based. I either mist my hair damp and micro plop it, then air dry, and scrunch out the crunch , or short diffusing, or I mist it damp, and praying hands a single pump of the styler for each side if it really needs more structure. I personally love the soft, fluffy waves on day two or three.
Yay! So excited for this! I'm 3mo into wearing my waves and I came to the same epiphany. Hoping gel-only will keep my waves in place longer! Thank you Courtney, you're my favorite wavy girl, I've learned SO much from you! ❤
I went back to using this brand about 8 months ago after using NYM for a year, which was not working for me. LUS definitely has made my hair healthier again. I do use a separate clarifying shampoo and deep conditioner every few weeks.
I’m trying to GROW my hair out long as well as let my wavy curly self out to play. I really appreciate your channel, and your hair is gorgeous. So much of the curly girl info out there is really for the most curly and coily hair types, so it’s hard to find info that works well for me. It definitely is a journey!
My guess is the deep conditioner was a bit too heavy for your fine waves! I like it for my coarse waves, but even then I use much more sparingly (like about 1/3 the amount you used for my mid-back length lol!) Maybe try the same line-up with their regular conditioner instead?
Courtney, you can use those old school (your younger than me so you may not remember) hair combs that we wore in the 80's and just stick them in the back to hold up those pieces. It helped me alot. I can't find a bonnet I like. The elastic ones leave indentations on my head. And going through menopause, it makes me overheat and I end up ripping it off my head and throwing it across the room. I just got my silk scarf today and am going to attempt to use that. I'm glad you made this video because I was so close to ordering it when I realize, I have 3 shelves in my bathroom filled with hair products and two big baskets in my closet, filled with more products. I need to slow my roll a bit. Sometimes, it seems like you just halve to buy everything you seel, even if the products you currently use work just fine. I honestly just grab whatever and you it. I love my Amika products, Ouidad, Aveda, Curlsmith, AG, Verb and Lord knows what else I have. I need to concentrate on using up what I have. The last new line I purchased was Rizos curls about 3 months ago. There it sits, still unused because I keep saying, oh, I only have a little bit of Amika gel left, let me use that up first. Then I realized there was more in the bottle left than I thought and well, here wel arel today. I am not a huge fan of Briogio, although I love their hair mask, but I have really been enjoying the Aveda Nutriplenish line and their botanical repair line (but they are pricey) and have been loving alot of products from AG. And I never thought I would say this, but I have been enjoying Morrocan oil products. My hair is thick and dry. It's also damaged from years of bleach. I'm so over Olaplex and K18. With Olaplex one day it's good, then they get sued. Honestly, it never did a thing for my hair. And K18 with their everchanging rules. Use 4 pumps, then use only 3. Then you were supposed to leave on for 4 minutes then style. Now, they say you can rinse it out and use conditioner after, not to mention the price, I prefer a good hair mask. i actually got brave last month and used the morrocan oil color depositing mask. I loved it, but it faded way too fast. I enjoy your videos. Your hair looks so siny and healthy. You have come a long way from the girl I started following over 2 years ago ❤
Being honest, I liked the results you got with the Briogeo products as opposed to the LUS Love Ur Curls. Thanks for the encouragement to actually brush out if you want to. This comment was not meant to be negative at all. Your RUclips videos are a never miss for me. ❤
Having watched your videos for quite some time now, this gives me a huge reference to what your hair does with the different styling products. Your hair did so well and looked very good. Too bad it didn't hold up a little longer. The frizz was not noticeable to me. I personally love using a shampoo, deep conditioner, and a gel/jelly on my own hair, but I'm still experimenting, too.
Brushed out waves is my favorite way to wear my hair. I like to do it before I go to bed with a little oil instead of in the morning. I get a little less volume but more definition that way. The waves kind of reform some overnight? 😂 They end up looking so glossy.
Hi, Courtney. I have been watching your videos for a while, and I have learned a lot from you. I have decided that LUS is my favorite line of products. My hair is probably a bit more coarse in texture than yours but also thick and about the same length, and I use WAY less product than you did. Perhaps the quantity of deep conditioner is just too much for your fine hair. I use each of their 3 step line up and the Irish Moss. And I have found this is the best line for a quality refresh on days 2 AND 3. Then I brush out on day 4 P.S. Don't judge me from my photo (probably 20 years old! LOL). I promise I am also a SwavyCurly!
Thank you so much for showing how you wear your hair at night! I recently went about as short as you and I've just been leaving it down at night on a satin pillowcase. I wake up with totally flat hair but I assumed the pineapple wouldn't work anymore. Time to get back to it I guess.
The LUS products are very moisturizing. I have never used the deep conditioner, but their regular conditioner is great and very conditioning on its own. My guess on the frizz and definition fall was the deep conditioner plus gel combo was too much moisture or too heavy for fine waves.
I like this experiment with one brand wash days- hoping you do more! I would love it if you also explain why you are trying the brand you are trying (if there is a reason- maybe random?).
I use the LUS 3 step method. I have not used the deep conditioner or the gel yet, just the 3 step: shampoo, conditioner and curl cream. So far, I really like the products. Not perfect curls yet by any stretch but we're working on it.
Lus sea moss gel is one I keep going back to no matter how many other gels I try. I love the soft curls I get with it. It doesn't have a great hold unfortunately, so I usually use a stronger hold gel or mouse with it.
Thank You!! I really like you sharing day 2 hair! HUGH help, in my own learning curve! LORD BLESS YOU!! ❤ LOVE hearing Precious Baby Girl in background!! I know you are enjoying every minute!! 🙏
I love the simple 1 day wash day videos! I've been debating about whether or not I should buy the Lus lineup, but I always decide not to because of the price. I also saw they have glycerin, which my hair hates due to me living in a low dew point area ( tucson Az). But I also saw this line has quite a bit of polyquats. Do you think the polyquats would protect my hair from the glycerin in these products, or should I steer clear and try another brand?
Maybe too much moisture? As my hair has gotten healthier, I notice I don't need as much conditioner. If its too soft, the gel also doesnt hold my hair as long as i would like. My other discovery for wavy-ish curly hair, is not to pull my hair into any pineapple or ponytail. I simply place a silk bonnet over my hair while I am upright, make sure hair is tucked in. Next day my hair is in much better shape than if I pull it up.
I tried LUS brand a few years ago. Regardless of the results, I can’t stand the scent so I discontinued using it. I wish LUS had a different fragrance option besides the powder scent. I also do not prefer no fragrance. Your hair is so pretty. 😊
I use the unscented shampoo and the regular conditioner is also unscented. Deep conditioner has a scent. The gel not really smelly. I love the gel personally. I don't like products that are heavy,and sticky. It refreshes well on day 2 with just water
Ohhhh and you definitely dont want to use the deep conditioner as a LEAVE in. It's definitely too rich for that. Definitely want to rinse it out well 😊
I am wondering why you went straight to the gel.after conditioning? Why didn't you use their STEP 3 leave in styler first?...then the gel for definition and hold? I have been using LUS for about 4 months now and my results are entirely different...but I always use the styler. It refreshes super easily for me as it is reactivated when lightly sprayed with my continuous spray bottle. I hope you try this again USING the styler to see the difference. And try their elixir oil for frizz if need be. ;) Thank you for the hours of education I have received from you in the last 4 months. You've been a great source!
@asparaguspies yes...I saw that...but LUS gel is designed to use AFTER the styler IF one needs more hold or definition. I think she would have had better results using shampoo, conditioner and just the styler if trying to keep it simple.- based on my personal experience with LUS products.
Did you ever er try the one brand wash day with LUS again..but using the STYLER ? Or the styler followed by the gel? I have used LUS for over a year now and my results have never "dropped" like this. I am so surprised!! I WILL say though...I DO FIND that I need to add protein every so often to maintain the Bounce. Thanks for all your videos. They have been so helpful as I have been learning to properly care for my hair.
Thanks! I'm a barely bendy a1 with a few a2 spots. This vid is a revelation! I struggle to get as much curl as you; I kind of get beachy waves at best. Before I caught your channel, a normal shampoo day for me was wash, air dry and curling iron for a smooth look. But it was fuzzy, and I didn't realize that this was actually curl! I've now done CGM about 5 times and my results vary: I don't yet have a reliable routine, and some days I have full beachy waves and some days just and uneven mess. BUT your assurance we can brush on day 2 for a different look is freeing! Love this so much. Thank you for this. Curious: when would you spray in a leave in refresher/conditioner on day 2 ?
Have you tried finger rolling or rolling on a brush handle. My hair was probably a 2a with a little 2b. If I styled it by using one of those methods it would definitely get me to at least a 3a. But after not straightening and using good products, making sure I slept on a silk pillowcase and pineapple and use a silk bonnet for the last 2+ years, my hair is very curly. I don't like to use numbers because very few people have just one curl pattern. I wash once a week, maybe less than that and maybe twice a week if I have a special event. My refreshes are very easy and all the time it may take me on wash day was worth it because I know I am good for a week minimum. Some people don't believe you can train your hair to be curlier, but you absolutely can. I remember my mom doing it to my daughters hair when they were little. The day I realized how good my hair looked is when I ran into my ex that I was with for 6 years at the bar down the street one night. He said, did you see Kristi today? (Kristi is his cousin and my hairdresser). I said no, why? He said who did your hair? I said I did. He said no you didn't. I said um, ya, I am pretty sure I did. He said wow, it looks amazing. Now this is a man who is very stingy with his compliments. I decided to walk over to the bar that was almost next door to that. Some guy walkrd up to me and said I love girls with curly hair. I felt so good but I said I'm married buddy, walk away. That entire night I got compliments. I even ran into my friend's boyfriend a couple weeks ago and we chatted for a minute, and he said your hair always looks so nice. All that work paid off. If you have questions, you can send me a message anytime and I can try and help you transition if you'd like or at least offer you some encouragement. I wish you much luck on your curly hair journey.
@@lindakoberna3465 gosh thanks! I'm really encouraged to hear your story about how your curl pattern changed. Wow I had no idea that could happen. I thought I would always be a barely bendy person lol. I have seen the Denman brush trick I didn't think it would make a difference to me but I'll give it a go Thank you very much for the advice XO
Hi! This is my first time watching your videos! You mentioned that you have fine hair and lots of it-- same, same! 2 questions: what is your baseline tangle situation? I describe mine as "wet barbie doll hair" and I'm always seeking advice from others who can relate! Also, are the LUS products heavily scented?
Hi Courtney! Would you have any advise or suggestions concerning protecting very fine, very fragile wavy curls in the workplace in which hairnets are required? I feel like I get breakage/ short baby hairs at the hairline
I think u used too much but idk. I think i was using too much serum on mine vause my hair isnt as thick as i was told growing up it was 😂 id say use one handful - maybe split that tirst huge gob into two and try spreading it and brushing it thru. Idk ❤ still looks good
From what I am learning about the products, by doing research and using them, I believe the frizz issue was caused by you playing with your hair so much before it totally dried. I was like you, couldn't stop touching it, lol. than after I did some research, that is what I found out. the next time i used the 3 step system, i left it alone after I put in the gel and I am on day 2 with no fizz. They do have a split end repair product but I haven't tried it yet. Is your hair naturally wavy?
I brush my fine wavy hair out on day two too. I live in the desert and the humidity is close to zero. I have virgin hair and it does not absorb product and gets weighted down easily here in the desert. I'm looking for gel, so far the only product my hair likes is the AG mousse gel. But I want gel for better hold. Does the lus brand work well in dry climates?
As a girl who talks alot i have heard "you talk too much" and i can honestly say that you dont talk too much at all you just give the info and crack a few jokes (which i love)so idk what their complaining about 🤷
I think it seems too heavy i know u say u have ginehair - reminds me of my 6 yr olds hair. She wanta wavy now soo bad and im glad but once we brush it even w a water/conditioner reset it doesnt wave etc until it gets all … gangly? Messy looking from all day it loses its lol bit o wave anyway❤ i hate thatt for her. Id try some layers and again maybe less of the gel in one hit
Your hair looks kind of like my hair but my hair is little darker and coarse form your naturally hair, and i like to say that your eyes beautiful not less form your hair.
My guess is that your hair isn't happy with a protein -free routine, especially since it included a deep conditioner. I HAVE to use protein every washday or my curls will be limp & more wavy than curly (nothing wrong with wavy hair, of course, but type 3 hair shouldn't suddenly become type 2 on washday) My hair is fine & med to high porosity
You are using way too much deep conditionner in my humble opinion. This gel is also great i love it. My hair is soft and doesn't feel full of product. I usually mist hair on day 2 and it looks good again.
Then either don’t watch, or speed it up. What did you expect when you clicked on the video? It’s a step by step long form video, what was she supposed to to do to relay information, use smoke signals?

I tried, by accident, the shampoo, conditioner and gel method and it was a disaster. If it works for you great.😀
I went back to using this brand about 8 months ago after using NYM for a year, which was not working for me. LUS definitely has made my hair healthier again. I do use a separate clarifying shampoo and deep conditioner every few weeks.

This is the line I can't wait to try. Sea moss is amazing. I use Irish sea moss in my smoothies. Literally the best super food on earth

Oh, I recognized your Zazzy Band! I don't know if you've talked about that before, but I love using that in my swavy hair :)
Thank you so much for showing how you wear your hair at night! I recently went about as short as you and I've just been leaving it down at night on a satin pillowcase. I wake up with totally flat hair but I assumed the pineapple wouldn't work anymore. Time to get back to it I guess.

I really like the new LUS Irish seaweed gel! But can only use the LUS shampoo every other wash-too heavy/rich for my thin hair
The sea moss gel is SO soft but yes gave me frizz too
I love the simple 1 day wash day videos! I've been debating about whether or not I should buy the Lus lineup, but I always decide not to because of the price.

I like to air dry.
Would this work without the diffuser step? Or is there another product you would recommend?
Ever tried reverse hair washing???? Something I saw in an article.
Love this video!!! Thank you for all the information, and look at days!
Thank You making video about this product as I was questioning this product always showing up. On my FB Feed Thank You
Maybe too much moisture? As my hair has gotten healthier, I notice I don't need as much conditioner. If its too soft, the gel also doesnt hold my hair as long as i would like.

(Kristi is his cousin and my hairdresser). I said no, why? He said who did your hair? I said I did. He said no you didn't. I said um, ya, I am pretty sure I did. He said wow, it looks amazing. Now this is a man who is very stingy with his compliments. I decided to walk over to the bar that was almost next door to that. Some guy walkrd up to me and said I love girls with curly hair. I felt so good but I said I'm married buddy, walk away. That entire night I got compliments. I even ran into my friend's boyfriend a couple weeks ago and we chatted for a minute, and he said your hair always looks so nice. All that work paid off. If you have questions, you can send me a message anytime and I can try and help you transition if you'd like or at least offer you some encouragement. I wish you much luck on your curly hair journey.
@@lindakoberna3465 gosh thanks! I'm really encouraged to hear your story about how your curl pattern changed. Wow I had no idea that could happen. I thought I would always be a barely bendy person lol. I have seen the Denman brush trick I didn't think it would make a difference to me but I'll give it a go Thank you very much for the advice XO
I tried one and it worked for me I loved. I have been brushing my hair on day two of my wash day. Cause my curls don't last on day two
Would it be safe to say that lus is too moisturizing and a protein treatment would help to keep a happy balance?
I love one brand wash days!🥰
Your t-shirts are the best!
Hi! This is my first time watching your videos! You mentioned that you have fine hair and lots of it-- same, same!
2 questions: what is your baseline tangle situation? I describe mine as "wet barbie doll hair" and I'm always seeking advice from others who can relate!
Also, are the LUS products heavily scented?
Very interesting information. I have to have protein. Can you do a Giovanni wash day plz.
Gorgeous. How are you liking your new length and highlights?
Hi Courtney! Would you have any advise or suggestions concerning protecting very fine, very fragile wavy curls in the workplace in which hairnets are required? I feel like I get breakage/ short baby hairs at the hairline
I feel like you need a little slip on sprayer ❤
I think u used too much but idk. I think i was using too much serum on mine vause my hair isnt as thick as i was told growing up it was 😂 id say use one handful - maybe split that tirst huge gob into two and try spreading it and brushing it thru. Idk ❤ still looks good
When you are doing a non product hair wash, do you use leave in?
From what I am learning about the products, by doing research and using them, I believe the frizz issue was caused by you playing with your hair so much before it totally dried. I was like you, couldn't stop touching it, lol. than after I did some research, that is what I found out. the next time i used the 3 step system, i left it alone after I put in the gel and I am on day 2 with no fizz. They do have a split end repair product but I haven't tried it yet. Is your hair naturally wavy?
Hi, if I wanted to add a few more curls to the hair, could I use a curling iron on top of this type of product or not? Thx, Lisa
I brush my fine wavy hair out on day two too.
I live in the desert and the humidity is close to zero. I have virgin hair and it does not absorb product and gets weighted down easily here in the desert. I'm looking for gel, so far the only product my hair likes is the AG mousse gel. But I want gel for better hold. Does the lus brand work well in dry climates?
Hello Courtney and everybody, I am from Europe, now visiting the US and would like to know, where to buy the LUS products. Thankful for any advice
I don't think you can get them in any stores, I think you can only order them online
@@lw3764thank you
It may not have the definition you usually have and you may have some frizz but it still is beautiful.😀
Gotta ask…What’s the rest of your purple shirt say?
Did you do the Lus wavy or curly version of products?
Did you try refreshing before just brushing it out?
Fabulous video for wavy girls! ❤
Awe, thank you! Glad it was helpful!
As a girl who talks alot i have heard "you talk too much" and i can honestly say that you dont talk too much at all you just give the info and crack a few jokes (which i love)so idk what their complaining about 🤷
Im always a Lus Luvver! I know everything doesnt work for everyone tho and its expensive af ❤
How often are you trying the wash, deep condition, gel method to try and avoid over moisturizing?
What kind of head band is that? I am in need of one that works well with glasses and does not cause a headache.
It's called a Zazzy band. They are great!
@@misfitoys hmmm, never heard of those. I need to check them out!
Thank you!!!
I think it seems too heavy i know u say u have ginehair - reminds me of my 6 yr olds hair. She wanta wavy now soo bad and im glad but once we brush it even w a water/conditioner reset it doesnt wave etc until it gets all … gangly? Messy looking from all day it loses its lol bit o wave anyway❤ i hate thatt for her. Id try some layers and again maybe less of the gel in one hit
What does your purple shirt say? We could only see the top half!
He turns graces into gardens! 🤗😉
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Thanks! 😊
Great video
Had same thing happen👍
Your scalp looks soo red around your head. Is that normal!? Hope all is well ❤
Yes this is normal for me! If I touch my skin it turns red.
Your hair looks kind of like my hair but my hair is little darker and coarse form your naturally hair, and i like to say that your eyes beautiful not less form your hair.
What oil tx do u do?
I want to see this with innersense!
Pretty sure she has already done a video on Innersense. Innersense is my go to.
@@lw3764 I know she has. I mean with just a shampoo, deep conditioner, and gel
My guess is that your hair isn't happy with a protein -free routine, especially since it included a deep conditioner.
I HAVE to use protein every washday or my curls will be limp & more wavy than curly (nothing wrong with wavy hair, of course, but type 3 hair shouldn't suddenly become type 2 on washday)
My hair is fine & med to high porosity
I love your curly hair I have wavy curly hair but not as curly as your.
Love this 🎉
Since your hair is bleached and dryer, you will need a leave in or curl cream to tame the frizz ❤
You are using way too much deep conditionner in my humble opinion. This gel is also great i love it. My hair is soft and doesn't feel full of product. I usually mist hair on day 2 and it looks good again.
LOL I don't deep condition every wash. But this part of this series. But, some of these one brand wash days are traditional conditioner.
From what I see you used at so much product .. wow ..this line will not last long ..
You talk too much 🤪
Then either don’t watch, or speed it up. What did you expect when you clicked on the video? It’s a step by step long form video, what was she supposed to to do to relay information, use smoke signals?
