- Oh the gel cast! There are SOOO many misconceptions around the gel cast. I will be honest, I really thought it was a bad thing when I first started. I did NOT want crunchy hair. But turns out that this is actually a tool that you can use to control how your hair turns out on washday!

I didn’t realize I was getting a soft cast and I am probably breaking my hard cast with my diffuser. Thanks very helpful
One year into wearing my hair naturally curly and after soaking up all curl info like sponge, to water. I now have frizz free defined curls every washday. I have hair that is finely predicatable. I have been having no problems with refreshing my hair type. I leave my hair til day 4 b4 re washing. My scalp is happy and healthy. I finely feel like I'm at the point where I no longer have any questions or need help 😱🤯. I started watching your channel when I couldn't get a curl clump in my 2aish hair. I now have nurtured my hair back to its natural healthy 3b 3c curls. Yay Their is hope hang in there everyone on this journey and thanks so much Courtney for everything ❤
Wow! I love seeing all the amazing people that embrace their natural curl pattern ❤️
So what products do u use I just started this journey and didn’t know I had curls wavy hair . Seems like I can’t get much definition
Thank you for sharing how your hair looks when it's straighter/brushed out and air-dried! Mine tends to look the same way when I do that, but my hair has been getting curlier and curlier when I do scrunch/use product, so seeing how your hair looks both ways gives me hope on my curly journey!
You are so welcome!
Would love to see how you "refresh" your hair from that hard cast! Add water, more gel...?
Thanks for the great video! Showing multiple wash days must have taken a while, I really appreciate the time you took to do that rather than just trying to pump out as many videos as possible. A great follow up to this video would be to see your second day, third day, etc results with each of these casts and how you refresh them. Would love to see that!
This is the PERFECT video I’ve been searching for. I have low porosity hair and like a good hard cast and it’s so hard to know why certain products don’t always work for me. Too much cream=less hold. Genius! Thank you Courtney!
Glad it was helpful!
Please be careful everyone! You can give yourself brain damage, swelling, and concussions by shaking your head around. I have read several stories of Curly haired people who shook their heads and hair too much for many years and ended up with brain swelling. I noticed for myself I was having small side effects, and now I ONLY slowly move my head around in big circles while flipping my hair around.
I've been shaking my head around ever since I stopped treating my hair like straight hair. Luckily, I found this comment, so I can prevent any brain damage. Thank you!
I had a successful wash day 🙂 and my curls/waves did not fall out!!! I skipped Leave-
In and did a protein treatment and went heavy on the gel what a difference!!! I have never got a cast in my life so cool to experience one and not disturb it blow-drying.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This has got to be my favorite video of yours! Showing all three types of styles helps so much and that all of those are good/ healthy! Thank you!!
Love the new editing and styling of this video! - and all your vital information! I've learned so much from you on my wavy/curly journey! Thank you!!
Last wash day I used a 1/2 & 1/2 mix of their air dry cream & protein cream while in shower (I then wet plop), followed by strengthening foam, then shape up aqua gel and WOW did I get the best results EVER! This was Sunday & it's Tuesday afternoon as I write this & I haven't done anything else but take my hair out of its satin wrap in the morning & voila! I can already tell tomorrow will still be rocking!
Courtney, thank you for sharing your expertise. I started my curly journey a month ago. Thanks to this video and the curl clumps vid, I finally got my hair to do its thing. You are da bomb girl!!!
Ppl are asking me how I did it lol. I have new buzz words for them lol.
Seriously couldn't have done it with out you. Yay!
I’m bingeing your videos! Just started the curly girl method and currently reading the book. Thank you!!!! ❤️
This is honestly one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen in a long time!! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
You're so welcome!
I love this new intro and editing style!!! It’s very fun. Also this was such a great video, I’ve always been wondering about casts and how diffusing affects it!
Thank you so much!!
What a helpful video. I'm just embarking on the curly girl method. I appreciate you mentioning that it has taken a period of time for your hair to look like this.
"Hi my name is Courtney" and I'm the best! I've learned so much from you! Thank you!
Okay, but your eyebrows are on point in this video! Perfectly beautiful!
your hair looks so nice and healthy when you air dried!! 💛
This is such a helpful video! I would love to see your diffusing process next!
your videos are the best! I just started my journey and you are helping me a LOT. lets see how it goes, looking forward to regain my curls
Thanks for all the hard work Courtney! I'm a newbie and found this really helpful.😘
The edits, you are hilarious 😂 thanks for another super helpful video Courtney!
Thank you! Glad they are helpful!
I truly appreciate all these videos! I spent so much time on both moisture and protein masks and used ALL the products and got no curls this last wash day 😅 but watching your video answered my questions. My hair dried straight and beautiful but was unfortunately too too weighed down with all my curl creams and Leave-In, foam and masks do hold a curl LOL
My last wash before this one was great and the curls looks smooth and perfect even on day four after brushing through them. But I didn't weigh my hair down with a bunch of products.
Loved the soft cast, looked so pretty!
Thank you! 😊
As you said, every hair is different. I use half of teaspoon of leave-in on my hair and half of a teaspoon of a gel and I get a super super super hard cast. 🤷🏻♀️ I used a teaspoon of the soufflé and a pump of the CurlSmith foam and even after I scrunched the hard cast, it looked like I still had a cast. I am washing today and will use will half of the amount of these products. Hopefully, it will turnout great. Thanks for this video. It is extremely helpful. 🙏🏻♥️
Great info as usual. I've always been able to get a hard gel cast. Haven't lately. Yes, much more humid here the past few days. I clarified yesterday, leave in and My Soigne Flaxseed gel. I had a hard cast when I left my house but by the time I got to work, cast was gone, curls were gone. I didn't SOTC.
Thank you,Courtney. I learned so much from this video. Well done,as always❣️
Glad it was helpful!
So so informative! Thank you! I have definitely not been using enough product.
ive been doing hard cast and stressing about that all day until i found this video tqsm 🤸🏻🗿
Holy crap...you are one of the few humans I know who's hair is so close to my own texture. My hair can throw ringlets if I take my time with it, but when it's just a wash and go day it does the same thing yours does.
It's amazing how changing technique and time with it can change it! I am glad I can share my experiences with you! 😀
Courtney have you tried the Only Curls brand? I got their mini starter pack and I love the smell of them all! The gel has a really liquidy consistency but gives great hold. If you do try them I'd love to see the results you get!
Your hair is looking great in this video!
Your hair is so long!!!! And beautiful! I love the first day style!
I can't wait to watch this later! I always struggle to get a cast!
Have you ever been able to get a cast with flaxseed gel?
What a super informative video, thank you! I also love your "christian graphic t-shirts" that you wear! Could you please share the resource of where you purchase them? Thanks, Kellie
I just found your channel. Love your videos. How did you get that bigger diffuser to attach to your Dyson?
Awesome video! Thanks Courtney 🥰
Hi Courtney please try the rake and shake method, would love to hear your thoughts!
Great suggestion!
I needed this help. I am struggling with my waves!
Does the Moisture Memory Reactivator still have UV protection? The one I'm almost out of has it on the bottle, but the bottles on the website don't say it now and it's not listed in the description? Maybe I'm just missing it?
this is might be the answer to my problem!! i have perfected my wash days after 7months of cgm but recently i can't get a hard cast anymore. i know that my application is good, my products, and drying techniques. i wanted to go back straightening my hair since it gets frizzy. what i didn't know is that i've been applying a curl cream and leave in then a gel. i'm now going to only use a gel on my next wash day 😊
update: it worked! i thought i was back to square one. i'm gonna switch up my routine now
;) so glad I stumbled on this curly girl never knew, in 60's with dye dark hair over 40 yrs and long, so got some curly strand some dry flat stiff, ugh, and to top it off put powder on the roots over and over, that gets brushed in, so I just clip it back on both side and forget about it, and oh my gosh, can this be a dream of healthy hair, so silly me bought so much stuff, waiting on a gel, so a custard came and tried Pytho stuff which I gather is not a get the head clean but moisture, it made my hair soft yet dried a bit different not all the flyaways and dry part a bit smoother not alot but some with is a start 1st try but going nuts on what to do. Never new curly then remember brothers and sister pounding on the door when I took 2 hours to blow dry so not sure even this 2 whatever I can see hair on the floor and told thick yet now after all yada yada I don't think so, I am no face bbb and hopefully someone can hit me up to help (same name) have not had nice hair for over 20 years.
I hardly ever get a cast and it looks stringy. I have not mastered clumping yet. I might need to try scrunching/fluffing a little more aggressively! I’m always pretty cautious. Can’t wait until wash day!
Hi! Awesome video! Can you please share your thoughts and maybe review the Garnier Pure Clean shampoo for clarifying? It’s similar to the suave but the reviews say it can’t clean oils which I regularly use so I just want to know if it’s a strong enough clarifier. Thanks for your help!
Is it ok to leave the cast in over night if I pineapple it up or bonnet it ? Thoughts
Courtney, thank you for mentioning that cast isn't necessary. I would add that it's bad news for some hair types. For my medium/coarse textured, medium porosity, medium thickness hair I avoid hard hold gels like the plague because they give me crunch that will not scrunch out. The only gels I've tried that give me a cast are medium hold gels and they have their own problems for me. Somehow with curl creams I either get a hard cast or they don't hold well overnight.
So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 🥰🤗
This was so so so helpful!!
Awe yay good!!! Glad it was helpful!
I’ve used the Chi Infra Gel two wash days in a row and WoW the cast I got is insane!! I’ve never had a cast like that and it easily scrunched out
Such an informative and helpful video! Big thanks from a wavy girl in transition.
Awe, thank you! I hope your transition is going well! Transitioning can be a tough a time!
Awesome video, thank you!
Thank you I needed this!
I used to air dry with a curl cream and do the 2 twists! I wore my hair that way for years before discovering the CGM.
Nice! That sounds like it would have turned out with soft and pretty waves/curls!
I believe Curlsmith In-shower Style Fixer is their hardest hold gel! I would like to see the results with that...
That one has such a strong hold I can’t even scrunch it out lol 😅
She said that in the video and said even though it’s supposed to be a harder hold, it doesn’t work that way for her.
I found with the In Shower Style Fixer that I don't use enough since I don't section in the shower.
I typically go with Ouidad, but decided to go back to the CS Souffle again now that I know more and I forgot to emulsify thegel in my hands. It was so hard I couldn't break the cast and couldn't fluff it at all. I had to just wash my hair again to loosen it. So if you want your hair to not move at all you can try it that way. I wouldn't recommend it though.
Your intro is amazing!!!
What an awesome video!!
You are so kind
Excellent video!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰🤗
How does your diffuser attach to the DYSON? Is is magnetic too?
Air drying in two big twists is my GO TO.
What hair type do you have? I feel like if your hair is 2C or curlier you would get better results airdrying without twists. For volume, you can flip all of your hair to one side and scrunch. Wait for 10 minutes, then flip your hair again. Once your hair is dry, shake out.
I am probably 2B. I definitely agree with you! But I am immensely lazy and don’t often want to bother with product and unpredictability. And my hair health is not good enough yet that I can do a product-free air dry like Courtney. The twists function as a product-free, heat-free alternative to a blow-out. I’m probably not doing my curl memory any favors, I guess.
Me too, I have 2b hair, and I've been drying in two twists since I was in highschool... I like a low maintenance hair care regimen...and it definitely looks like a blow out with this method!
I'm still trying to figure out how much product to use to form a gel cast and also what method of diffusing is best for my 2c hair. (Lately when I diffuse, my waves/curls are crazy. Especially on the ends. I think I'm moving the diffuser too much/too fast or am not cupping correctly.) Anyway, your videos have been helpful and enlightening! Thanks so much.
Thank you for this information. As I go through the infinity of videos on working on curly/wavy/frizzy hair, No one talks about the “water” itself. Hard water, Soft water, Well water… all of this affects our hair and our curls but would love someone to do a deep dive on the subject.
I believe somewhere buried in the bowels of my CZcams channel there is a video talking all about hard water.
I'd love to know if you've ever tried the GVP Liquid Sculpting Gel from Sally Beauty. It is my absolute favorite gel! It's super runny but still gives me a good cast.
I always get a hard cast but have difficulty scrunching the crunch. I am jealous how shiny your gorgeous hair is. I think I’m finally starting to find that protein moisture balance. Have you done any reviews on the Verb hair products? I’ve been looking into them but trust your opinion more than most!
I was having a hard time scrunching out my crunch too, but I found that if I use the perfect haircare towel to scrunch with it really helped break the cast. I have been known to take a pick to my hair too. (gasp)
The verb ghost oil is the best!!
@@sambednar3351 I’ve definitely been looking into that one!
@@lorindav5549 I’ll have to try that. I hate my hair feeling like straw on a broom lol
Thank you for sharing.
Loving your videos. This one didn't say how you plopped or wrapped your hair on the 2nd or 3rd wash.
Can we get a link for the large Dyson diffuser please!💕
I have 2b-c hair. My hair is very long and medium thickness. I have just recently started curly girl method. I have used 2-3 thick gels and the cast is beautiful. I have done crunching with and without oil. My hair looks beautiful for about an hour maybe less. It holds and fluffs a bit better with using oil. After this it quickly starts to loose definition. Any suggestions?
What kind of large diffuser do you have for your Dyson?
So, a few years ago I used mousse on my hair(it hasn't been it's natural shape in a long time and really doesn't hold it's shape well anymore either) which left my hair crunchy and gross feeling. I'm pretty much striving for that texture? Is it normal to possibly get it from mousse?
I NEED the melody for my daughter. Is there a way to order?
Normally I love getting a cast, but today when I SOTC my hair was so stringy and STRAIGHT! Not sure what I did wrong but i feel like I wasted a wash day 😫
How does curlsmith work in the high humidity summer weather? I've steered clear of their products because they all seem to have glycerin in them and I'm in a super high humidity city. Do you have issues with that?
Most of the products in their scalp health and strength lines have little to no glycerin.
I have medium-coarse, low porosity hair.
My hair just won’t absorb too much of anything.
So anyone who is having trouble getting a cast, I use mousse on wet hair, plop, then GENTLY glaze gel on top of damp hair, scrunch, then microplop the excess water & product.
I also get a cast so strong I could wear my hair straight up in the air.
When I apply gel to wet hair, I never get a cast.
I have the same results. To get a good cast, I have to apply stylers to damp hair, not wet.
Thank you for the info☺💜
Leaving the cast alone is SOOOOOOO hard! But here lately I've been struggling to get enough hold, and I needed to go back to basics lol
Totally get this! It's great to go back to basics to see where your hair is at.
I find the Curlsmith styling custard to be too gloopy to use on a regular basis. It does always give me a fantastic wash day and I actually do get a slight cast on my hair, just takes too long to distribute it through my hair on a regular basis.
I remember my sister scratching in mousse into my hair that was a time... Especially since at that time my hair was very straight and now that in older my hair texture has changed and become more frizzy and wavy
Hi. I am new to the wavy hair experience (I think my hair is changing
as I age). I think I understand this process, but I do have a question.
I take showers at night usually and I put gel in the shower and
scrunch. I get the crunchy gel cast, but then go to sleep on it and I
wake up and it is not great. Do I have to move my showers to the
morning when I have a lot less time? Or, can I re-wet my hair in the
morning, then apply the gel, dry, SOTC, etc? If I do that, do I apply
gel only in the morning, or both at night and in the morning? Thanks.
I’d love to know the answer to this as I do exactly the same! Morning showers and especially hair washing just won’t work for me. I start working at 7am so long morning routines just aren’t feasible.
I'm also a night time shower person and I'm still figuring this out, but Janelle O'Shaughnessy and real life curly girl both have night time routine videos that I've watched more than once for tips.
Very helpful video 😁
I am glad this helpful! 😀😀 Let me know if you try this and how it works for you!
I need a good cast some days…depending on the day or shampoo conditioner…like today…it is raining so I woke up with a lot of volumes but had barely any waves…so I had to damp and apply a bit of gel…if I applied a stronger gel last night…my hair would’ve had a lot waves in the morning…but I didn’t bother to look at the forecast 😭
How long do u plop for?
When I put conditioner in my roots my hair gets really greasy.
I've GOT to try that Curlsmith air-dry product. My hair looks like a frizzy rat nest when I air-dry (maybe because there's grey in it?), but I hate the time it takes to blow-dry. I could be working or reading!
@ the "grey" comment, as someone who went entirely white/silver extremely early it's not that hair. It's something else. My hair since finally figuring out what my 2c/3a very thick hair needs are is never frizzy anymore. Plus, now that my hair is getting the protein/moisture it needs, I can even brush it between washes when I just want to keep it back off my face (it's super long, too, so off the face can be a relief lol). Silver hair is AWESOME I use semi-permanent purple, turquoise, pink hair colour and it works perfectly with no damage and no bleach. Best of luck to you, I'm sure you'll find what you're hair needs it just takes time. :)
My advice is to put gel in it if you have to air dry. But if I’m being honest, diffusing is what turned my hair from flat to voluminous! Sure, volume with air-dried hair is POSSIBLE, but when shaking your hair out it won’t last for longer than maybe 40+ minutes. Diffusing gives me volume that lasts for 2 days straight. When you say the time it takes to blow-dry, I’m confused! My hair takes 30 minutes to blow-dry with diffusing. But maybe that’s because I take bigger sections? I don’t know! Either way, air or blow dry,
GEL SAVES YOUR HAIR FROM FRIZZ!
@@purple_diver I'll have to find those colours!!
Thanks for the tips. In your coupon codes link It’s not taking me to the curl smith website.
Ohhh goodness! Thank you for letting me know! I am fixing that right now!
Beautiful eyebrows!
All of a sudden I'm not getting a hard cast with my gel. Nothing has changed except the weather. Can that change how my gel is working? My hair isn't as wavy with a softer cast.
Hmmmmm weird! I wonder if your gel contains glycerin and if the high dew points are affecting the cast.
How do I get the larger diffuser for my Dyson?!?!
This is a little post I did on Instagram showing what I do.
instagram.com/reel/CM2ehhqlYqb/?
My question is, can you leave your hair in the cast overnight and sleep in it? Or should you break it after diffusing?
You can! Then just fluff the roots and break any cast left as needed!
That violent head shake cracked me up! Mostly bc I have always done that to my hair!! I have my kids do the same lol
I don’t understand why when I comb my hair, I have a 2a.. close to a 2b sometimes. If I twist, it stays how I twisted it.
Doing CGM.. I’m a 2b. I don’t understand why ppl w less curly hair than me just naturally drying have such curly hair! How’s that possible?
I wonder sometimes if my hair is straight & it just seems to freeze however it dries lol
Love a good violent head shake!
About how long have you been following CGM?
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney
Hi, im one month today!!
It’s weird bc last wash day I was crying & wanted to give up. Now I’m day 3 from that wash day & love my hair 🤔 I can see it’s getting healthier under it all. It has went from a 2b to a 2c 😮
But still working on my styling method. Getting clumps from shower to the diffuser is hard for me. Watching your videos 3, 4 times now & I think your hair stays more wet than mine. Those little dunks under the faucet I didn’t pay attention to must be what I’m doing dif. And the aloe in my gel maybe causing flash drying?
I’m so jealous of your air dry time! Mine is at least 4 hours no matter what…thus why I don’t do it very often. Diffuser = life saver!
I had a question about the Curlsmith line, do you use their co-wash from the moisture line? I haven't found a co-wash that works for my hair and was thinking of trying that one... thanks!!
Courtney I just had an epiphany!! You know how you get real oily in your roots!! Its because you rinse the conditioner out upside down instead of letting the water first hit the top of your hair and rinsing it out that way! I know this because I have tried both ways rinsing out the conditioner upside down will leave more conditioner in the front top part of my hair where the water doesnt directly hit it. I know this is why for my hair and I just wanna know can you just flip the other way and rinse out the conditioner from the top portion first running down and see if that helps your oiliness!!! I hope this helps I hope you try it if it can work for you!!
hi! hairstylist here:) so when you’re conditioning you want to generally stay away from the scalp when you’re putting it on because your scalp has natural oils that your mids and ends don’t have.
so flip your head upside down and just get your mids and ends THEN if your really feel inclined, run just a bit of that conditioner up to your roots (but i honestly wouldn’t recommend it). hope this helps!
@@tessbessette5365 exactly my point and instead of upside down I just rinse it out standing straight up. Thanks for confirming!
I can’t for the life of me figure out how you use such a small amount of product and get such defined curls. I feel like our hair is similar but I have to use like 12 teaspoons of hard hold gel to get any kind of cast 😂
That is so interesting! I’m always amazed at how everyone’s hair is so different.
Thannk you for this video
Thank you for being here! 🤗🤗 I am glad this could be of help! 😀😀
I have found the products that work for me and they are cheap lol - I use all about curls shampoo ($10) and Blueberry bliss protein leave in ($12) and bioterra gel ($10) - Thinking of trying a flaxseed gel next.
Do it!!! Flaxseed gel is amazing!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney do you have a fav?
I’m just jealous you can stay hunched over like that. Every time I try to wash my hair over the tub my back hurts!
How long do you plop for when doing the hard cast?
I plopped the same amount of time between the hard cast and soft cast washdays. About 10ish min!
Thanks. My hair feels dry and like hay so I need to work on getting it in better shape but I do love a cast.
I have tried to use the reactivator spray from Curlsmith but it doesn’t work on my wavy hair! I have low porosity hair and the product just lingers on my hair strands like a gooey oily residue 😫 spent a lot on it too. No matter how much I tried to get it to absorb into my hair it just wouldn’t. And because of the residue it would weight my hair down and pull my waves down and it would make it matte so bad 🥺 I was so disappointed. Crazy how some products work amazing on different hair! I’d advise anyone to try a sample of this (if you can get a sample, especially if you have low porosity hair like me! It might work great for you but might not too).
Thanks! I was almost about to buy this product, I was actually already checking for it on some websites, but thanks for the advice!
(I have something in between medium and low porosity hair. The “reviving” or “beach texture” or “frizz-free” sprays never worked on my hair, just added that hairspray-smell! I think this might be why!
@@pizzaminustoppingz It still could work for you so if you could get a free sample then definitely give it a go, but I would advise against buying it without being able to try it if you have low porosity hair 🙈 Yeah sprays just don’t work for my hair either! My hair refuses to soak it up, just leaves a waxy residue and yes! The smells! 😂
I heard a subtle crunchy ness when you first scrunched the cast day hair
