    The “myth” as I understand isn’t necessarily that you CANT get your hair wet. I was always instructed NOT to get my hair wet so I didn’t have to restyle it.

    The reason "don't get your hair wet" was so heavily mentioned was because of 1) perms/relaxers 2) heat straightening and 3) generally restyling it. As someone who had perms or flat ironed hair most of my childhood, esp. bc 4c hair was/is considered "bad hair", that was why I was never allowed to get my hair wet. Also talking about pool water as if it's good for your hair... yes water is hair's best friend but not chemically treated pool water. You can swim, but you have to wash your hair after.

    Great video! Part of my struggle with my hair is that if a product doesn’t work for me, I’ve dropped a significant amount of cash AND have an open, mostly full bottle of product to store or trash. I wish there was a Curly Club where friends could swap products to find what they like and get rid of what doesn’t work!

    I have coarse 2C/3A hair. I have to use gel with only a little protein otherwise my hair gets crispy. Not gel crispy, but because my hair naturally has a lot of protein, it gets overloaded. So it feels like straw. I love the Eco gel with olive oil and it makes my hair soft.

    Hi there. please HELP! I am 3 months CG & its starting to show progress. The hair on the crown is 2c while the hair near the ears & nape of my neck is 2a. No matter how much I scrunch & apply products (cantu moisture & flax seed gel) the curls around my nape would get straight sometimes right after applying product. Please tell me what to do?

    • @symphony2598
      @symphony2598 Před 4 lety

      Hey if it isn't too late, maybe since you have that 2a texture you'll need to play a bit with products and amounts you should apply because if the product is too heavy or you use too much it can weigh down your hair and make it straight since its a finer wave than your 2c texture

      Don’t wet to soak, wet to dampen it. It makes the world of a difference when you’re trying to wake your hair back up with and without moisturizer. Helps soooo much with the application of leave ins and or moisturizer, I feel like you’d use less product that way too.
