I’ve been messing about on my own to speed up my routine. I’m old and creaky. Minutes matter! Yes, some things hurt, but shorter sessions of styling really help, so speed is key. Even old people can appreciate their curls. ❤
Yay an English curly girl!!! Definitely going to give this routine a go and try your products! It’s super hard when a lot of curly you-tubers are in Canada and America etc, as their products are really expensive if you can even get them here! Good luck with your channel! Laura xx
Love how you used the voice overs. It really helps me to see the whole process but I know how long it can take to explain it all in real time. The results are great! My wavy hair with a few curls really liked this method! The definition and bounce lasted without frizz for 4 days!
I’m so glad to see you here!! I have been following you on Instagram for a while, but I’m glad for some longer content from you. I had been struggling with one side of my head not curling as good as the other, one of your posts got me check my curl direction, and of course I was going against it. It seems like with this method you don’t have to worry about the curl direction!
Hey thanks so much!! Thanks for supporting me :) and yes with this routine it’s much easier as you don’t need to worry about the intricacies of each curl clump it just does it for you 🥰🥰
Since my hair is long, I always struggle with having volume at the roots and this method is the only one who gave me that without losing definition!🤩 A real life changer ❤️ thank you so much Sophie for sharing this🙏🏻
WELCOME TO CZcams CURLFRIEND 😍 And what an amazing video! Found it really helpful! I always struggle with creating the sections evenly with this method and also applying the gel to the new section without including the previous section, but this is really helpful so thank you!
I have seen your routine demonstrated by some of my favorite curly hair utubers, and Manes by Mel did a great intro for you. When I saw that you had put out your own utube video of this flip method, I was very excited to watch. It is my favorite way to style now, as it conquers all the issues I have had in other routines. Thank you so very much for sharing with us. I have subscribed.
Excited to see you on CZcams. I’ve seen some other CZcamsrs demo your method with their own tips and variations, but it’s nice to see a longer demo straight from the source.
Holy crap! I just tried your entire routine (with different products) and I have not seen my curls this defined with so much volume in awhile! I’m due for a cut and regardless this routine helped my curls pop again like if I got a fresh cut! Love this method! I found your method through the founder of Bounce Curl!
This has been a fabulous addition to my routine- thanks so much for this! To keep my section I’ve just finished adding gel to from getting mixed with the new section I’m about to style, I take a smaller claw clip and gently close it around the sections I just done to keep it from mixing with the new one. Works great!
Thank you for making my life easier with this method. I was about to give up and pick up the hair straightener and I saw this method on your Instagram. Thanks from Spain
Thank you, so much for this! A real game changer for my wavy/curly hair! I didn’t use the name brand products you used but I did use products that have the same purpose. I also used a diffuser but not a Dyson (I’m too cheap) but I turned off the dryer whenever I went in and out of the hair to help reduce frizz. The results are the best my hair has ever looked! Keep those tutorials coming… I’m addicted!
I was sceptical as I thought this would make the curls at the back of the head really flat & thought after I brushed/styled when flipped over that it looked quite limp but WOW!!! I am blown away by the results. After diffusing & shaking out the roots, my hair has more volume & is more curly than when I usually brush by individual curls & saves half the time!!! You can also finger coil individual pieces once flipped back after brushing/styling. Amazing video & so helpful!! Also love your Instagram page ❤️
You make it look so easy 😊 I have the same type of curl and find it hard to get the back of my hair as curly as the top and sides your look fabulous 😊 I will keep trying ! Ruth.😊
I used this method and it gave me so much more volume than upright brush styling love it so much!! Obsessed with your reels wen I saw you started a channel I was SO excited!!! Welcome🤍🤍🤍🤍
Awesome 1st video, lovely! I'm really excited to see you come out with more. My hair texture and curl pattern is, pretty much, EXACTLY like yours, so I'd love to see how different products and methods work for your hair. Welcome to the Curl Community!! 💜
Hey Angela, thank you SO much for your lovely message! and for your support on my first youtube video, I'm excited to post more on youtube! a Vid coming very soon 🥰
Eventually!! Hello and welcome ☺ so pleased you've joined YT. I'm so going to do this today. Just doing my makeup watching videos. Keep these videos coming lovely 😍 💕💕
I didn't have the brush, but I used the finger technique you've posted on your instagram and... oh my gosh! My curls are incredible, the best I've ever had! They're bouncy, full of volume, and the most curls I've had in a long time. I'm definitely going to buy the brush and I can't wait to see the results. Thank you so much for posting this!
Sorry for the delayed reply! I find aveda to be very expensive so I can't always justify it when I run out especially if a cheaper product works just as well!But I do absolutely love their products :) x
Hey, I’m so pleased to find you 🫶 on here. I decided to embrace my curls this year, 2023 after 40 years of blow drying straight and fighting the frizz. I don’t have Instagram so thank you for sharing on here 🥰. Melissa x
Aww yay! thanks so much for your comment I am so happy you're embracing your curls! I'm loving posting more longer form content on youtube so thank you for subscribing and supporting me here :) xxx
Today I did a very lazy/hurried version of this method (using very little product) and got way better results than I have using some other method while being super careful and attentive during the styling - so spending more time for a worse result. I'll definitely be trying this method again. Excited to see what the result will be with some more patience (and product)!
This video is so helpful. I’m a newbie in terms of embracing my curls (only since September) so still trying to find my way through all the different methods but I think this will be my go to method now, love the result! 😊 thanks!
Thanks so much! I’m really glad you found it helpful! I’m going to posting lots more videos which will be beginner friendly hopefully to make curly styling as easy as possible but with the best possible results :)
An amazing video and very well explained. I follow you on Instagram and love your content. Showing your tips/ routine in more detail here is such a great help ! Thank you and please keep making more videos ! 😊xx
I only have just barely wavy hair (Half my head is 2A beach waves the other half is 2B) and so far this method is the ONLY one that consistently gives me waves. I don't have a diffuser yet so I'm just tshirt and air drying but I'm sure that would help one I get one :)
This looks amazing!! 😍😍 I have wavy to curly hair and it does look as if there’s more curl to my hair, but I have tried so many different routines and they work good. There is just no springiness in my curls.. so I’m definitely going to try your routine and maybe it helps 😊
yes this is a year late but i just discovered you. you are awesome and i am definitely tryin the flip method. i've been tying to figure out how to do this for years. THANK YPU
It's great to see this as a start-to-finish video! I have a question - during the flip section brushing, you brush your first section from over the hair, and the other 2 sections from under the hair. Why is that?
Thank you! I'm glad it's helpful! I wanted to be as detailed as possible! so I brush the first section on the front of the hair because (when upright) this layer falls back nicely. I brush the other layers the other way simply because I find it easier to gather the section and brush underneath (rather than over my arm) Not sure if that makes sense - it's hard to describe in writing haha
Thank you so much! my hair is mainly medium porosity ( the roots are low) and higher towards the ends. And I used medium heat and speed the whole way through
For your first You Tube video this was amazing! Thank you for your tips and tricks I have curly hair too and some of your techniques I been doing myself too. Please continue to make your videos. Also I agree about the back pain whew I sit down periodically when diffusing. It's a good thing my father is a Chiropractor. hehehe. Do you always diffuse? Can you do an air dry method too? Also do you ever flatiron your hair? I haven't flat ironed for years, but am thinking about it. What would you recommend for heat protection and technique? Thanks again.
New subscriber after watching this video. I’m due for a washing tomorrow and will definitely try your method. Wondering what or if you have a nighttime routine. For example, do you pineapple your hair and sleep on a satin pillow case or do you sleep with a bonnet? I do one or the other or both since one of my many bonnets is made to accommodate when I pineapple my hair.
Thanks so much! I have a routine coming on this very soon where I go into a lot of detail on how I protect throughout the week. But the main thing is a silk pillowcase and pineapple ❤️
Hey!!! I am so glad that you shared this because trying to follow a reel on Instagram is very hard when there are so many steps 😂 Today was my first attempt though!!!! I won’t say I smashed it first time because that’s a big fat lie loooool and I’m not quite there yet but practice makes perfect right? 🙈 My hair is sooooooo long (too long) so for me to brush it through is tough but also because I think it desperately needs cutting. I get on better dry brushing my hair before washing so I did that first but I have new patches of hair growing randomly and other places that I’m losing it which is good and bad. I’m a nightmare because I’m so bad at looking after it that I rarely brush it or maintain it and just stick it in a messy bun on my head and just redo that everyday until I next wash it and I think the new hair then gets tangled at the root (if that makes sense) combined with product build up so a bit of a knotty mess lol. The ends are also really frizzy so by the time I get it near to finishing there are clumps at the end that come out together. The ends of my hair are also really stringing and I feel like they are getting in the way of letting my hair do it’s thing and curl properly? I washed my hair as normal but only had hairburst shampoo and conditioner (I think I need to use my black castor oil one from Shea moisture for clarifying but I couldn’t find it) Rinsed it all out then used a Tshirt to wrap it up and then when onto the next stage, and this is where I’m struggling. Normally I would just put Moroccan oil conditioner allover, rake it through with my hands and then leave to air dry, but I can’t do that anymore as it’s too long 😩 I know you used a spray leave in conditioner and a curl creme but I’ve not used both together before so I thought I would try the conditioner as usual but apply differently and see what happens…Fail lol I didn’t think I put loads on but my hair dries out quick but also gets knotty quick so I was spraying more water like you said (not adding more product but it was just clumping together) Even after using the Tshirt to absorb some of it and adding water after to thin the product wasn’t quite working either. I did keep going though and I could see my curls trying to come through but looking back I think the conditioner is too much and I think I need to maybe dilute it in water and try that instead or change what I’m using completely as it seems too heavy now for my curls. I wasn’t going to use a cream just yet but after watching your tutorial on finer hair (although my hair is a lot curlier than your friend) …My hair seems lightweight too and the products you used didn’t weigh it down and left it looking bouncy and soft (I think it was the protein curl cream, the mousse & then the shower fix gel) The parting of the hair was fine but when it’s super long its like trying to roll up a long snake before I can clip it 😂 I managed in the end but it this next stage I found really tough. I was brushing the first section like you said but I couldn’t seem to get my curl to appear which was strange so maybe I’m doing it wrong I’m not sure? This is also where the frizzy & wispy ends get in the way because they seem to stop the curls doing what they want to do again. I was still adding water and then the gel and did all 3 sections but No matter what I did my ends weren’t cooperating 🤦🏻♀️ I did flip good though so I guess that’s a good thing!! 😂 Started drying the roots but noticed that the hair near my roots was looking quite straight & flat and I’m not sure why. I also found the gel quite sticky when blow drying which was hard but it had gone once I’d finished and maybe because I scrunched the life out of it lol. The Curlsmith gel is also very thick too so I don’t think this helped as I found it hard to distribute initially as it was pulling on my hair but I also need to work on the ‘glaze’ technique as I have old bad habits and I’m not too gentle with my hair 🙈 Drying took a LONG time 😳 and I thought my arm was gonna fall off ha ha…I wouldn’t say I have the best volume right now but I think this is down to having the right products but also perfecting the technique and probably removing some of the weight maybe? I have some lovely ringlets allover but also some random looking areas which I think went wrong and after drying my hair was quite dull so I had to put quite a lot of Morrocon oil on to make it shine again. I think I may have a few damp patches too but I surrendered the hairdryer until next time 🤣 I wouldnt say it was a total fail though and your video is so easy to follow and really helped. It’s so much easier to follow on CZcams too because you can pause it easily whilst you do each part. I will keep at it though and I think I most Definitely need to have a play around with the products and get the product mix and amounts right for my hair. And I think I may find it easier to style upright because of the length so I’m going to try that too? I also waited before I put this up because I wanted to see what my hair was like after a day or two. There is most certainly definition still and a little volume. But I have quite a heavy cast which is probably because of me using too much gel to compensate where I messed up before lol. SOOOOOOOO the question is do I….. *Try again with the watered down Moroccan Oil conditioner and the upright styling? *Switch to the products that you showed in the demo of your friend with fine curls using the protein cream, mousse & in shower gel instead? *Try something completely different? OR *Give up and just whack it back up on top of my head 😂 Thankyou again for sharing and apologies for the essay lol. I thought I would share it on here with you so that other people can see it too incase it helps them? But video wise from your side…SPOT ON!!😍 Any advice would we greatly appreciated on the bits that I mentioned in terms of the products I should use, maybe trying the upright technique to find whats right for me?? But other than that please keep doing more of these!!! 😊💖😘xXx
Hello, please could you recommend a shampoo? I have a sensitive scalp and it gets itchy if I Co wash or use sulphate free cleansers all the time. It seems to need to be thoroughly cleansed every couple of weeks using a sulphate shampoo
Hey Sophie, from your videos i know you don´t follow the curly hair method, which is fide if it works for you, and it obviously does :-). But pleeease tell in your videos what typ of hair you have...high/low porosity likes proteine/ likes moisture...and please if you sguuest products tell if they´re cgm approved and wheter its a protein product (contein protein within the first ingredients) or wheter its a moisture product (contains oils/butters, humactans like aloe vera within the first 5 ingredients). That would be so helpful. thanks 🙏
Hey! sorry for my delayed reply! Thanks for your feedback: yes I will start talking abit more about the characteristics of my hair. For ref my hair is currently 3A/3B, love protein and moisture (equal balance) medium density but fine/medium stand thickness. No idea on the porosity. But when my hair had a balayage like in this video the porosity is higher, since I have been brunette more recently i feel my porosity is more medium! x
I saw you do this on instagram. I’ve used this technique twice in combo with new Shark blow dryer. PERFECTION!!!! Takes so much less time than doing each curl clump with a brush. LOVE IT!!
I’ve been messing about on my own to speed up my routine. I’m old and creaky. Minutes matter! Yes, some things hurt, but shorter sessions of styling really help, so speed is key. Even old people can appreciate their curls. ❤

I did keep going though and I could see my curls trying to come through but looking back I think the conditioner is too much and I think I need to maybe dilute it in water and try that instead or change what I’m using completely as it seems too heavy now for my curls.
I wasn’t going to use a cream just yet but after watching your tutorial on finer hair (although my hair is a lot curlier than your friend) …My hair seems lightweight too and the products you used didn’t weigh it down and left it looking bouncy and soft (I think it was the protein curl cream, the mousse & then the shower fix gel)
The parting of the hair was fine but when it’s super long its like trying to roll up a long snake before I can clip it 😂 I managed in the end but it this next stage I found really tough. I was brushing the first section like you said but I couldn’t seem to get my curl to appear which was strange so maybe I’m doing it wrong I’m not sure? This is also where the frizzy & wispy ends get in the way because they seem to stop the curls doing what they want to do again. I was still adding water and then the gel and did all 3 sections but No matter what I did my ends weren’t cooperating 🤦🏻♀️
I did flip good though so I guess that’s a good thing!! 😂 Started drying the roots but noticed that the hair near my roots was looking quite straight & flat and I’m not sure why. I also found the gel quite sticky when blow drying which was hard but it had gone once I’d finished and maybe because I scrunched the life out of it lol. The Curlsmith gel is also very thick too so I don’t think this helped as I found it hard to distribute initially as it was pulling on my hair but I also need to work on the ‘glaze’ technique as I have old bad habits and I’m not too gentle with my hair 🙈
Drying took a LONG time 😳 and I thought my arm was gonna fall off ha ha…I wouldn’t say I have the best volume right now but I think this is down to having the right products but also perfecting the technique and probably removing some of the weight maybe? I have some lovely ringlets allover but also some random looking areas which I think went wrong and after drying my hair was quite dull so I had to put quite a lot of Morrocon oil on to make it shine again. I think I may have a few damp patches too but I surrendered the hairdryer until next time 🤣
I wouldnt say it was a total fail though and your video is so easy to follow and really helped. It’s so much easier to follow on CZcams too because you can pause it easily whilst you do each part. I will keep at it though and I think I most Definitely need to have a play around with the products and get the product mix and amounts right for my hair. And I think I may find it easier to style upright because of the length so I’m going to try that too?
I also waited before I put this up because I wanted to see what my hair was like after a day or two. There is most certainly definition still and a little volume. But I have quite a heavy cast which is probably because of me using too much gel to compensate where I messed up before lol.
SOOOOOOOO the question is do I…..
*Try again with the watered down Moroccan Oil conditioner and the upright styling?
*Switch to the products that you showed in the demo of your friend with fine curls using the protein cream, mousse & in shower gel instead?
*Try something completely different?
OR
*Give up and just whack it back up on top of my head 😂
Thankyou again for sharing and apologies for the essay lol. I thought I would share it on here with you so that other people can see it too incase it helps them? But video wise from your side…SPOT ON!!😍
Any advice would we greatly appreciated on the bits that I mentioned in terms of the products I should use, maybe trying the upright technique to find whats right for me?? But other than that please keep doing more of these!!!
😊💖😘xXx
Yes I love it!
So glad! Thank you x
Hello, please could you recommend a shampoo? I have a sensitive scalp and it gets itchy if I Co wash or use sulphate free cleansers all the time. It seems to need to be thoroughly cleansed every couple of weeks using a sulphate shampoo
What settings do you use for diffusing? Plus, how long is your drying time?
Woohoo! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your support as always!! X
Would you use any hair spray or would it hold without it?
Do you do anything to your edges?
Hi wonderful video, i have a question would this work on wavy/ curly hair with layers ( 2A to 2b ) is what type of hair that I have
Hey Sophie,
from your videos i know you don´t follow the curly hair method, which is fide if it works for you, and it obviously does :-). But pleeease tell in your videos what typ of hair you have...high/low porosity likes proteine/ likes moisture...and please if you sguuest products tell if they´re cgm approved and wheter its a protein product (contein protein within the first ingredients) or wheter its a moisture product (contains oils/butters, humactans like aloe vera within the first 5 ingredients). That would be so helpful. thanks 🙏
Hey! sorry for my delayed reply! Thanks for your feedback: yes I will start talking abit more about the characteristics of my hair. For ref my hair is currently 3A/3B, love protein and moisture (equal balance) medium density but fine/medium stand thickness. No idea on the porosity. But when my hair had a balayage like in this video the porosity is higher, since I have been brunette more recently i feel my porosity is more medium! x
Where have you been? I wish I knew this method sooner :D My hair never looks better
Aww thanks so much! I am so happy to finally be on youtube! and so glad it's working for your hair 🥰
❤😊
❤️❤️❤️
The ease of 3 sections omw I do at least 15 sections
Your method is the brazillian tape or fitagem method
Superlike👀! Easy video ranking - Promo-SM !!!
How you can see qhat you’re doing? I don’t think i did good with it 🥹
I saw you do this on instagram. I’ve used this technique twice in combo with new Shark blow dryer. PERFECTION!!!! Takes so much less time than doing each curl clump with a brush. LOVE IT!!
Omg I'm so glad you love it and it's worked so well for you! thank you so much for your support :) xxx
