Thank you for this video and savings code... is the code spelled correctly? Is the "N" supposed to be before the "T"? I haven't tried the code yet, but definitely want to order this product!
This is my first time seeing a video of yours and I totally relate to everything you're saying! I always felt lost in a hair world between straight and curly so it's SO nice to finally see someone that understands and that I can relate to! I just subscribed!
I love Curlsmith even more since I started looking up all the hidden bible verses on the labels 😊
Why is this video so validating to all my struggles as a wavy girl 😭 Also lately I've been having no inclination nor motivation to style my hair. I just feel like it's too much work for one day's worth of good looking waves (sometimes waves don't even last a day in the humidity). So now I just scrunch in a leave-in and call it a day. It's too much Courtney. It's too much work. Sigh.
I'm there, too! Started with getting a few inches chopped off. Like too short for a ponytail short. Still have curls, but... I'm getting over all the fuss! Like stressing every washday if it's going to look good or not. It's too much... 🫤
@@christinesegatti9281 Exactly, High five. ✋
Right there with you. I've been wearing my hair curly for a year now (I'm 57). I'm about ready to go back to straightening my hair every day, a lot less fuss and aggravation. I'm tired of getting just one day of good looking hair (washday). The struggle is real for us wavy girls.
Exactly! But if I straighten my hair, it goes puffy and frizzy if it's humid because it wants to wave. Can't win 🤷♀️
@@heatherjenkins3180 I now live in Arizona, no humidity so that is why I'm considering going back to straightening my hair. When I lived in the Seattle area (moved a month ago) yes, I did have the humidity issue which is why I started embracing my curls/waves.
She’s the Dr Dray of skin but for hair. Slightly goofy, kinda nerdy, but you better believe she’s done her research! This women is committed to the facts, sharing her knowledge and passion. We are lucky to have her. There is so much out there about curly hair and not nearly enough about wavy hair. Kudos to her for broaching this subject.
This video is a breath of fresh air. I've been over-obsessing about newly discovering my waves and feeling disappointed when they don't turn out the same from one wash to the next. The struggle IS REAL.But...I have to say, after finding your videos I have a whole new hope for my hair and it means the world to me!
I'm in the same boat! It's been slow going for me. Good luck with your journey!
@@carolynjackson1231 Same to you!!
First hair video I have completely related to! I kept nodding and saying, “uh huh”, “yes”. Thanks for understanding wavy hair and explaining what I haven’t heard anyone explain!!
Thank you!! There is a BIG giant need for info and techniques for us wavy curly girls! 😊❤
The women in my family develop curl as they age. I'm in my 40s and in a wavy intermediate stage. I brush my hair into a frizzy mess and pull it in a bun. Thank you for showing me there is an alternative and an advantage to wavy hair.
This explains so much about my hair! No wonder I can't rake products through or use a brush to create curls!
I am a hard-core finger commercial and NOT doing it with product or dry. 😬
Thanks so much for this. I really identify with all of it. Now my hair is turning grey and the texture is changing yet again--I'm just along for the ride! Thanks for your practical, encouraging videos!
Wanted to follow up after 2 months of taking your advice. Brought a light conditioner into my routine, brush to get root coverage and scrunch before rinsing out (scrubbing scalp to remove residue). Stopped brush styling and lo and behold! Better and more consistent results! Thank you!
Nothing keeps my gray hair from frizzing out. I feel like a dandelion that’s gone to seed.
The only thing I’ve appreciated about graying hair is that my hair is medium texture now instead of fine.
Same struggle 😎
All grey now and my hair has gone from super thick, horse tail coarse and strong with a few waves, lots of shine and NO Frizz to fine, thin, super frizzy, dry fluff. Menopause and aging completely changed my hair! The good news? All these curly girl routines are making my hair feel so silky, shiny and soft! Yes! Grey hair with natural shine. I didn’t think it was possible. Fingers crossed it will become stronger and less prone to breakage!
I love all the super targeted wavy girl advice. THANK YOU!! Just what I need just when I needed it! I am at the stage my curls last several hours…still looks good, just not as full and beautiful. Great specific advice.
BTW, purple shampoo is a must for gray heads! Silver is beautiful.
Thank you for this video! The struggle is real with wavy hair and I don't think non wavy hair people understand it. If I let my hair air dry with no heat and product it's frizzy, limp, with a variety of 2b to 3c waves and curls.. It looks horrid lol I have been trying for a year with different products to wear it wavy, but I have had zero success. I envy everyone who can go 3-5 days without washing. I can't I get so much product buildup and have never been able to have a positive refresh day so I feel like I have to start over with clean hair so I can only make it two days without washing. Thank. you for all the tips and glad I am not alone with the wavy hair struggle.
You say not to rake product in but Curlsmith's website directions for the Effortless Waves product says to rake as step 2: "Work the product through the hair in sections using the "raking method" for an even distribution." I guess I can try it both ways and find out which works for me.
Thank you so much for this video! I just started my Wavy Hair Journey a few weeks ago and feel all of those struggles. I've had straight hair my whole life but menopause has changed my hair texture. The past few years I just thought my hair was frizzy from all the hair dye (covering my grays) but I watched a video that made me realize I have wavy hair. I love the way wavy/curly hair looks, in fact I've always wanted it but since I've started this I haven't gotten consistent results but I've bought several products in my excitement so I can't give up! I have a lot of your videos to watch and learn...
Excellent video Courtney! Thank you for spreading wavy hair knowledge and joy at the same time!
I always love your videos! Thank you for all your hard work.❤
I feel like you live in my head, Courtney!!! I discovered I had waves 2 years ago and I struggle off and on with styling. Thank you for sharing!!! -Kristy
You have honestly changed my life with your hair advice ♥ thank you for being here for wavy gals and spreading the knowledge!!!
This was a great video, well done! I appreciate how much work you put into presenting with awesome information.
I LOVE your videos! You have helped me style and understand my wavy hair so much. I haven't tried diffusing yet as I thought it my dry out and damage my hair. I will give it a try after your explanation today. Thank you for all your hard work with these videos!!
I appreciate all of the work you put into this video and at the same time teaching us to be thankful for however our hair is.☺
This is what I’ve been needing to hear for the three years I’ve been following you and another curl expert. Thank you. I can’t wait to try some new products and some new techniques.
I love your videos! Thank you for the imposter syndrom part 😅 I am actually there as I started only a few months ago and still have inconsistant result.
I do a mix of LUS and Curlsmith products choosing accordingly to my mood that day.
Talk about an ‘aha’ moment! Stop brush styling! Much better results today when I didn’t brush style! Thank you!
Great video Courtney! A thing I like that you brought up is the versatility in our hair. I really want to try the effortless spray😊
As a wavy girl I LOVE this video and I also LOVE Curlsmith, so a double win for me, thank you so much ❤️
The struggle is REAL! Thank you for listing everything I have been thinking for the 3 years I have been embracing my waves. I straightened it last week….and thought that was easy and I can get consistent results. Then I had many people comment to me that they like it better curly (well, wavy in my case) 🥰.
Courtney this is a great video. The struggle is real for waivies!
Thanks so much, Courtney. I've watched this video twice. I'm just at the beginning of my "curly girl" journey and was beginning to wonder if I would ever get consistent results or make styles last more than a few hours. Focusing on having healthy hair and knowing it's normal for my curl to stretch between washes is very encouraging!
Being fortunate to having mostly wavy with also curls interspersed, the one positive is not having to spend the time to style "curly" is the days that follow I really don't have to do too terrible much. I pineapple my hair overnight. I'm then able to take it down and spritz it with a bit of water. Sometimes I have to add a bit of product on those uncooperative areas, but for the most part, it works. I love your channel, Courtney. Early on yours was the first one I found on RUclips. Your channel is the one I can relate to because I don't have the tight curls or ringlets. I also like how you're willing to show a failure or a super successful wash day. I love how you say, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Yes, we are! 🥰
So helpful as always Courtney, thank you x
SO helpful!! I have 2c-3a hair...it's kind of a mix of wavy and curly.
P.S. I love your channel!! I've learned tons from it. Thank you for what you do. 😊
The validation I feel from this video OMG. I always feel like my hair is such a pain. I have a variety of patterns ranging from 2B-3A and my hair is quite thick. Majority of the wave sprays I've tried don't do enough for me. I'm a huge fan of Curlsmith products (especially the hold me softly balm and curl souffle), and have thought about trying the wave spray. You've sold me on it! I do wish more of their products contained heat protection. I bought their heat spray and like it, though.
I love this video and I happened upon it at just the right time. I've been struggling for almost 5 years with my wavy hair and have had only limited success. It was so good to hear that I am not the only one who has these problems--it's like you read my journal. Thank you so much for sharing and giving me some good, practical tips to help my 2a-2c, high-porosity, frizzy, GRAY (wait until you have THAT added bonus, lol) hair behave. I promise to stick with being gentle.
And, you're right, somehow I feel more confident as "me" when I wear my hair wavy and not blown dry with a round brush.
Thanks again for your videos and your honest recommendations. I love Curlsmith; my only beef is, as an old lady, some of their bottles--while attractive and a bit "pharmacy-retro"--are difficult to dispense product from (arthritis).
I am so glad I found this! I always felt like my hair was chronically unkempt and messy, no matter what I did. I thought it was because my hair is fine but now I see that I’ve just never learned how to care for wavy hair!
I’ve cut my hair into a mullet, and the layers really bring out the curl while being a forgiving style in messy moments. I also use a small amount Kendra perfect blowout cream and a dryer brush after washing. I will definitely stay tuned to see if I can develop a technique for more consistent results.
I needed to hear this. I keep trying to remember that my hair is wavy not curly and to be ok with that. I’d get good washdays but they wouldn’t last and refreshes rarely worked for me. I picked up that curlsmith spray after your last video - just did my 1st refresh on day 3 hair after wearing it in a bun for 2 days. It looks so good!!
Omg what you are describing is my exact issue!!! Thank you so much for this video!!! I have been making so many mistakes and that explains a lot
I have been learning about my hair for about a year now! I didn’t know that my hair was wavy and I always wanted to have some natural curls. Even before knowing that I had wavy hair I would have washed my hair and then braid it so I get nice curls for about a week.
I had all those struggles you mentioned and I am always looking for better products because sometimes I don’t want to spend so much time on getting my hair perfect.
My hair is wavy but the problem is that I have to much hair 😢 so diffusing my hair will take at least two hours 😢
This is really helpful! I have been on this journey for a couple years now, and those are exactly my struggles. Thanks for sharing this!
Glad it was helpful! It's tough!
Listen, i have wavy hair, similar to Courtneys and i have found the best results so far with, believe it or not, Fructis banana hair food. I use their hair mask only and the schampoo max once a week. I do not leave the mask in.
No brushing but i do draw my finger thru before squishing in the mask.
I style with two pumps of Tigi Catwalk Curl cream and finish with a small amount of Redken gel och Björn Axén curl cream. Microplop with a microfiber cloth, diffuse and schrunch out with a tiny amount of oil. Turns out so good every time!
Once in a while i work in some protein products when hair seems to need it or the Redken acidic bond line. (have some old bleaching).
So funny how my cheapest products seem to work the best.
P.S I pixie diffuse
The struggle is real! I do brush style with the tangle teezer and scrunch since my scalp does not like upside down styling. I wish curlsmith had a dry shampoo. I look forward to the mini version of the effortless waves I ordered yesterday. Every wash day is a wonderful experiment!
I just got that stuff too! Can't wait for wash day to give it try!
I also got the trial size. It is amazing stuff!
Feel like you are talking about my hair!! I am going to give Curlsmith a try! Thanks! Hope it works well for me!! 🤞 Thank you for sharing and passing on your knowledge!!
This made me feel so much better about my struggles. I’m in good company apparently!
Awe! You are in very good company!
This is such valuable video, Courtney! I’m about 8 months into the CG thing, and my hair is only just beginning to reveal it’s true natural texture (a mix of big waves, with the odd ringlet or two appearing in the exact same spots every washday). So much of what you have said resonates with me, and I’m learning to love what I have, instead of wishing I have what someone else has. Curlsmith is mega expensive here in Australia, but I still love it! BTW - your hair is looking so pretty these days! I love those silky waves. 💜
Sounds like mine! I have some very tight ringlets at my scalp and then very big waves further down
This helps so much! I definitely am a 2a-2c for the most part, so if I do a full curly girl routine I get weighed down and stringy, but! If I do a combo of this awesome wave styler, mousse, and gel, my hair seems to be very happy because, of course, my hair has several 3a and 3b ringlets throughout itself - a wavy curly challenge!😅
Literally, all my struggles in one video!!!
Same
I've been styling my hair wavy since the beginning of this year and I'm still trying to figure out what to use to get my waves to last longer than half a day. I just added the wave spray to my try list.
I’ve been styling my hair wavy for almost 2yrs and I’m still struggling. So, all of the things she is saying is making so much sense to me. I have the Effortless Waves but haven’t used it very much, I have about 3/4 of the rest of the Curlsmith styling products, but they just don’t work for me…. I’m so frustrated at this point!
What works for me is using 2 different gels. Like the shape up aqua gel from curlsmith and then layer it with shine gel hold 9 by curlsmith and add water to your hands when using the shine gel since it is very thick.I find brushing the product in gets a more even distribution of the products.
Love your tips Courtney! I think the only thing more finicky than wavy hair is mixed texture hair 😩 The top half of my head is wavy and bottom half curly. What works for one section isn’t great for the other. I think I might have to try two separate routines on my hair 😂
You are my Hair Guru (TM) haha I referred my friend to your channel because you seriously address everything I have questions about!
I just happen to stumble across your videos and now you’re the only one I wanna watch because you are more like my hair and my struggles and you gave me so many awesome tips so far especially the one where if you don’t have really curly hair, you shouldn’t be brushing the product through. No wonder why my hair is ridiculous. I do what you do now. Just very gently rub these products in scrunch and I’m starting to love my hair pattern❤️
So relatable 😭 I’ve found your channel over 3years ago and I’ve learned a lot but as my hair is pretty much 2a I have one more struggle- even after consistently styling my hair wavy for years one side of my head is flatter than the other and the waves don’t form in the same way. Drives me crazy! But still, I enjoy styling my hair wavy as much as possible but fyi if I don’t then my hair is so healthy now that it’s not frizzy at all. It actually looks straight with just a front wave - kinda like a retro pin up wave through the front and the rest is straight. Oh well, I’m excited to see there are more products for naturally wavy hair!
The hydrogen bond stuff makes so much sense! When I was a kid/teenager, I thought my hair was straight, but it was always a little fluffy (not bad or frizzy by any means) and would hold any style heatless or otherwise. My hair is very wavy now and a little curly when I style it as such, but if I want to let it be straighter for a day it doesn't get too upset at me. She's obedient!
Love the fearfully and wonderfully made drop. :) well played! don't know if I can get curl smith in Canadian stores. will have to look into it.
So that's what my problem is! Oh yeah, I relate. Lately I have been concentrating on hair health with oil treatments, which are helping. Will check out the Curlsmith spray. Thanks!
I purchased the Effortless Waves spray after watching this video. I've used it 3 times so far and I am absolutely in love with it!!! It leaves my fine long hair soft, defined, shiny and way less frizz. All with out weighing it down or leavong it sticky. Thank you for being a "guinea pig" and trying so many different products. You rock! 😀
Thank you for the video, I needed this!
Glad it was helpful!
I have wavy hair and use a denman brush. It actually accentuates my waves! If I don't use one, my waves are much more limp.
Same. It just goes to show that the best advice is to experiment and learn which products and methods work best for you.
Thank you!! It is so frustrating to search for WAVY hair channels or groups. I have joined many that say wavy or wavy/curly only to find out it actually caters to curly hair methods. I know how difficult it is to work with wavy hair. You can't get good results from straight hair methods and can't get good results from curly hair methods. I just wear mine up most of time.
Ugh!!! It's tough being in the middle! This video I did may be helpful!!! I get the struggle! ruclips.net/video/VGT0URQd1Rc/видео.html
I wish I saw this video at the beginning of my wavy way, but even now more that 1 year after, I like it, information is extremely useful! thanks❤
Glad it was helpful!🥰
Love the curls blueberry bliss gel per your recommendation a few years ago. I also like Umberto Giannini curl scrunching jelly for softer hair and waves.
I’ve never felt more validated in my entire life.
Products-I love the Giovanni tea tree shampoo paired with the smooth as silk conditioner. My scalp reeeally loves the shampoo and I also find I just need something more cleansing than a typical curly hair shampoo. I also love curlsmiths foam-lightweight and really brings out my waves, but it I wish it was a little higher hold.
I haven’t tried that specific shampoo, I’ll have to try it!
AG care mousse-gel. My wavy hair loves it!
Great video! Thank you!
Love your t-shirt! So pretty 😊
Also love the content of this video, as i 100% relate with all those struggles! 8 months in to styling my poofy hair and still trying to find a good gel that holds up after a couple hours 😝
Courtney, thank you for all your amazing content. This video is so great as a fellow curl type as yours, I also feel in love with curl smith products. I always know I'm getting quality styling information when you drop a new video! It's helped me embrace my waves and boost my confidence. 🫶
I needed to watch this video sooner ❤ I’m 4 months postpartum and I have been loosing my curl pattern 💔 I loved my curly hair….idk how to style my hair like this. I have been struggling to even wanna try with my hair. If I do nothing to it, it’s poofy and by the next day straight. It breaks my heart but this gave me so much hope ❤❤ Keep shining your light!!
I love Small Talk for scrunching. But I may try the product you mentioned
I’ve had great results with the leave in conditioner mousse from Aussie. I got it to try on my daughter and I ended up loving it for my hair. I just hope I can find it again! That has been a struggle with finding a product I love and then I can never find it again.
I used to use the refresh mousse from Frizzease and the formula changed and made my hair crunchy.
Great video. True confession: wish my 3A curls would chill a little like my my 3B and 2B curls. ☺️
I started using Surface Curls products and LOVE them
This was a great video, thank you so much! Do you have a “how i style” video showing your steps and plop and diffuse methods? I feel like that would be suuuper helpful
Great video❤
Yes scoop and hover diffusing is genius I agree
Thank you so much ❤
I love CurlSmith. The Effortless Waves spray was far more effective than I expected it to be on wash day, but I didn't have much hold left by day 2. I also didn't have any cast to scrunch out, so maybe I'll try using a little more on my next wash. I let mine air dry and was pleased by how much faster it dried than my regular gel while giving me a similar look. That makes this a great product for a quick wash day or a more relaxed few days. I think Effortless Waves is a fantastic product for me right now because I'm currently working from home and this is an easy summer styler, which is hard to find in Texas humidity. I'll use my regular gel when I need to go to the office or out with friends, but this is a great product for a relaxed weekend or work from home weeks. Today I'm also trying it as a refresh spray after using it as my only styler yesterday and so far, so good!
Yep. What she said. Thanks Courtney 💋
The way she just started describing what I go through every wash day
Your video read my mind. I have all of these issues and also wondering if it's worth the effort. I do it in the summer because humidity will frizz my hair if it's straightened. The rest of the year, I don't bother letting it be natural.
Courtney your eyes are looking gorgeous in this video!
Yay Curlsmith!
Can totally relate. Can you please give some further advice on long wavy hair? Thanks 😀
Appreciate this!! I am new to styling curly and the struggles are real! Your tips and encouragement are fantastic!
Totally off topic but I gotta say your makeup is flawless in this video!! Ever thought of doing a tutorial on that?
Boy can I relate!
I have never related to a video more than I do to this one omg
Thank you
Definitely want to try the CS Effortless Waves. But have to say that styling on soaking wet hair has never worked for my low porosity 2c hair. Bigger clumps, yes, but they are stuck to my scalp. Not sure if this is because my hair is at least medium density, if not more, or if it's because there's a lot of grey hair mixed in which is like having wires grow out of your head. Or maybe both. It always comes down to what works for your particular hair. So try everything.
Try root clipping! I swear it helps! Just a little jaw clip at the front and one in the back to avoid strange cow-licks and unflattering parts.
I have those wire grays too. And they often break off after about 3" of growth so I have them all poking out like some kind of weird porcupine 😂
I have definitely struggled with these for sure but one I have struggled with that you didn't talk about is matting/ tangles. I get matting on the back of my head from sleeping. I have tried a satin pillowcase and a satin lined bonnet pineapples don't stay because I have hip to low back length hair. I have mixed textured hair from fine to coarse. I have extremely thick hair as well.
AG's Curl Trigger Spray is so under hyped! I like to use it kind of like you would a hair spray after plopping. It's so good.
Is it kind.of like a spray gel would you say?
@@karenn993 They call it a defining spray, it's almost like a combination of a spray gel, a texturizer, and a hair spray? It's really light weight, adds texture, and has pretty descent hold. It took me a few washes to figure it out how to use it on my hair, it's easy to use too much.
I know you have perfected how you style, but I would love to see some videos where you style different ways. For example, I have a similar hair type and I have tried getting out of the shower, adding no product, not brushing, air drying. Then once dry, I add the curlsmith effortless waves, scrunch, and then diffuse and I get ringlets! Without any other products my hair is soooo light and it seems like those curls last for days!
I love the science terms! 🤓
Oh yay!!!!
Aussie Instant Freeze is a super strong hold and light for me.
I love this video that you have put together. I’ve been on a journey to embrace my wavy hair and make it healthy. Sometimes I feel like I’m rocking an old 80s and 90s style because I don’t take the time to straighten my hair and wear it the way I see so many ladies wearing their hair (which, by the way, takes me a very long time). So, I tend to just let it go wavy and pull up the sides and the crown. Which brings me to another struggle that I have…the fact that I always pull my hair up. My hair is just beyond shoulder length and I would love to wear it down and wavy. But, I can’t seem to get the top to style correctly or have a slight uplift, or even be going in the right direction without styling it with the brush and dryer, which then pulls out the wave. Do you have any suggestions? Have you made a video about how to style the top crown of your hair when wearing it down and wavy? Thanks a bunch! Here’s to being our best selves!
Thank you! I'm getting back into the wavy hair thing...and my hair is definitely at the stringy phase especially at the ends...and then very frizzy at my roots. I'm trying to find a balance...
I have the Effortless Waves and I have loved it so far. I just need to figure out how to eliminate the stringy ends and the frizzy roots 😂
Awe thank you! Hang in there! You may be in transition! These videos may help...

@@SwavyCurlyCourtney thank you! I don't know why I'm just seeing these notifications now. I will definitely go watch!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney So I'm definitely in transition after watching that! I have a lot of fluffy alpaca days :P Also I've been switching out too often, so I'm going to go back to the Curlsmith Essential Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner because my hair felt great and clumped so nicely...until I added leave in and gel. I think I have a few more months to go but I'm not giving up!
My hair is wavy curly on top and coyly around the nap of my neck. I have to have proteins but I also need moisture and I haven’t figured those two out yet so and your hair is stunning today. Thank you for all you do. I really like verb. It also curl smith. How can I do protein and moisture together. My strands snap easily
Refreshing sprays! Made by Pantene Gold series, Twist, Aussie, Hair food....work great to provide hold, moisture and humidity resistance. 18:38
Will definitely check out the CS spray. Just picked up an Herbal Essence spray gel to use instead of drying hairspray. I like it so far! Don’t use a Denman often…I swear it rips my hair, but I do get decent results from a Tangle Teezer. The results don’t last as long as when I just scrunch.
I had good results with the Herbal Essence Spray gel as well.
I haven’t seen spray gel, that would be great for extra hold. I tried their curl scrunching gel, it was to heavy. But I love 💕 their curl mousse. My waves last for days with it, and it’s soft hold so no crunch.
@@azarialr6639 it’s the Touchable Hold Spray Gel. It’s a really fine mist. I had very low expectations since it was so cheap. Also had luck with that mousse!
Well there it is!!! Yup you R spot on. I have just started using the wavy spray and getting ok results…. But will keep at it. I am on the struggle bus with the wash day routine. I dont have hair that i cal pull up it chin length so when it gets wonky after day two i really have to start over. Rarely… rarely can i go 3 days. That being said what do you think about co washing… my hair does t get oily at all. I could go more days but then my hair is flat alsmost lookl like i belong on the movie set of One Flew over the cookcoos nest😳 i have to do some sort of refresh day 2 .. and really dont have a great process. Anyway i enjoy your videos and find them helpful…👏👍
I have and have used the effortless wave spray with the multitasking conditioner and though i liked the results, i work outside ans it just didn't last for me. I have two things that do work: 1. The feather light protein cream with the hydro style flexi jelly (my most favorite of their products) or 2. The weightless air dry cream with the shape up gel. I always style with soaking wet hair ans hover diffuse with my Shark IQ styler dryer. With either of those two options, I can get 3 days between washes. I also NEVER scrunch out the cruch on wash day. I wait until I wake up and do it then. All curl smith all the time for me. I find that the effortless wave spray does a beautiful job of refreshing my hair while adding some hold in it.
Question for you: does the flexi jelly weigh the hair down at all? I have had a lot of issues with gel making my hair really stringy. Same with mousse and creams!😅 I'm really just trying to figure out how to eliminate the stringy ends. My waves look great in the middle section and then my roots are frizzy. I am so lost 😂
My hair always seems to return to straight after an hour maybe 2 so I don't do all the products and diffuse super often any more. (It's a lot of work to just work from home and not leave the house all week) I do however always use a leave in conditioner at minimum and even that has made a huge difference. I have noticed that I don't really like my hair straightened anymore so I don't use my straightener anymore unless I'm using it to curl (pretty rare) I never used to use much heat on my hair, just curling on special occasions or straightening 2-3 times a month so I feel like I never had that much heat damage but always hated now frizzy it always was. Scrunching in my consider and leave in have changed my hair and that's what works for me! I also decided a few months ago to get a waver tool and the waves last until my next wash day and I was amazed because I could never get curls to last so perfect for so long so if I have plans for the weekend or something I have started to use that heat tool on my hair more often but I still feel like it's slightly less than a straightener or curling iron because my hair naturally wants to be in that shape so it just takes shape so quickly.
Long story long 😅 do whatever you want to do with your hair! It's YOUR hair and you have to style it and lube with it so just find what works for you, what you like the best and do that! It takes time and experimentation to figure it out but you'll feel more like yourself and you'll probably start to look forward to and enjoying wash/style day
Love you Courtney! Ok, my lightweight(ish)/firm hold products: Biosilk Rock Hard Gellee, Evolvh Dream Gel, Pantene Volumizing Root Lift Spray (it's actually the same ingredients as their spray gel that was discontinued).
Meant to add that I use the Pantene root lift spray like a spray gel since essentially, that's what it is.
