    Honestly I think the summery mermaid hair is HOT on you. And the best curly-girl method hair tip I have is keep going! Your hair gets more and more used to the shape over time and it’ll look better.

    I know everyone’s hair is different, but I have wavy hair and the Treluxe serum and gel in combination with each other give me like… *perfect* definition. It’s a less well-known brand so I’ve been recommending them to everyone!!

    I couldn't hang with the true curly girl method because my hair gets oily/product buildup too easily, but the styling techniques really helped me get the hang of my curls. Your wavy curl pattern gives massive siren/mermaid vibes and I look forward to how it looks once you get more used to styling it. There are curly hair creators on youtube that have a lot of great tips; helped me a lot.

    A perfect dupe for the CT Beauty Light Wand is the KIKO dolce diva glam cushion highlighter! I cannot tell the difference between the two in look & weartime and the KIKO is more pale-friendly in terms of shade (the CT looks a bit dark on my pale skin). Definitely worth a try.

    Curly hair tips! Resist the urge to take in too many "tips" and keep it to one variable change at a time so you can figure out what's working. And stay patient - I don't know anyone that mastered blow drying in one attempt, and styling curly is still a styling skill that needs practice 👍

    Merit was my favorite until I tried the Roen Roglow Skin Stick. I’m not sure exactly what makes it so unique but it’s by the far the best highlighter I’ve ever used. I can apply it directly to the skin and it still looks natural or just tap my fingers in for a more subtle look. It’s the only highlighter I’ve used where my routine feels incomplete without it.

    There is a fantastic video from BrittCurls about why she quit the 'curly girl method' but still has amazing curls. It was cool to find someone who has come to the same place as me in her curly hair journey. ruclips.net/video/WPWVuK2a_e0/видео.html
    I'm sure you know curly hair is all about experimentation and patience. What works for me may never work for someone else, but here are some things I've learned that seem to be universal:
    1. No heat. I never use heating tools and personally, I rinse my hair with cool to room temp water. I didn't think I would see that much of a difference, but I was wrong. It does have an impact and it's worth attempting to keep my head under a cold spray even in the winter.
    2. Apply your products when hair is damp enough to sound squishy, but not sopping wet.
    3. Experiment with how much product you put in your hair. I apply more than is advised on the bottle (pea-sized amount? For hair that's down to my waist?!)
    3. I use soft clips to gently encourage certain sections to be lifted up since my long hair is very long and I want more volume at the scalp.

    • @SauronsAccntnt
      @SauronsAccntnt 2 года назад

      @@AmandaZ I occasionally use a diffuser attachment with the blowdryer at the lowest cool setting, focusing on the roots. I honestly don't think it'll undo all your work if you use a warm-ish setting though, especially if you happen to live in an area that gets miserably cold in winter months.
      Personally, I usually air dry but that's mainly just force of habit and part of my hair ritual I've done for years. This is why I'll use clips to lift curls as I'm sitting around waiting for it to slowly dry. I'll also use fingers to lift hair at the roots up, gently coaxing volume as it dries. This is sorta involved so the hair dryer is maybe the better option lol ☺

    How long have you had the Merit highlighters? Because I've heard a few influencers (including Kackie) say that theirs developed a super-bad smell after a while, and I have seen a lot of user reviews saying the same thing. Mine started out fine but took about 6 months before it started to smell bad, which is not really long enough to use up a whole highlighter. I did enjoy it before that happened though.
    You don't happen to have all the Merit lipsticks, do you? Because I would like to see someone try all of them on in a video so that I would have a better idea of which ones to try next - their website has not been all that helpful for that. Baby looks great on you!

    method a couple years ago.
    your hair looks really cute, and I hope you don’t take this the wrong way. are you using curly girl products too, especially hair gel? I find that hair gel really helps those juicy curl clumps form and keeps them together while I diffuse. I think we have a similar hair type.
    the curly girl method is definitely a lot and it might take a while to navigate all of the resources out there and find out what’s best for you. I wish you luck!
