Do you want freedom from frizz? ➡ bit.ly/freedomfromfrizz
girl I just found you
V F you got this girl! It takes time but it is soooo worth it!
Hope it’s going well!! I’ve just started my journey today ❤️
Keep it up!
2 months cg, my hair is so healthy but still in transition phase ( AFTER WASH DAY FRIIIIIZZZ EVERYWHERE). I am still experimenting with products :/
@@vasilikiphant how is it now?
Omg the fact that you have N O frizz freaks me out
SaltyAifos Haha, I think it’s the lighting. I usually do have frizz.
Witchcraft.
I know right!!!!! I can't wait for my hair to look like this
Elizendo where do you live?
Ellouise Germishuys but your hair is straight..
This is hair straight out of a commercial...
Trisha Xx for real mine be looking like a rat nest
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD your hair is SO SHINY
AJ haha thanks! I really think ACV has a lot to do with the shine factor.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney can you describe or make a video showing what you do with ACV? It's so freaking shiny!
Stephanie Neil absolutely!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney OMigosh pleeeease do!
Is ACV Apple cider vinegar?
wow sis has never heard of frizz... look at those results
Musketr3s 😂🙈🥰
I have more frizz than curls 😂
Salomé Berthoux LMFAO I FELT THAT
You have the most beautiful hair I've ever seen in my life
Amber Games 🙈🙈🙈 thank you! You are so kind!
It's kinda otherworldly!
No frizz
Doesn’t look greasy
Beautiful curl pattern
Looks so moisturized and healthy and clean
GIRL WUT?!
tt Awww thank you! 🙏🏻
You should just change your name to Goldie Locks lol
Barely wavey??!! Those curls, the shine, the bounce! Your hair is perfect!!
I just kept getting distracted by your hair the entire video lol
SAME
your hair alerted you well about devacurl.
I want more pics of the transition of 2a to 2c. I am a 2a and would be THRILLED to have hair like yours!!!!
Same!!! I had straight hair till I was about 15 but it was a huge poof and I had no idea it was wavy until recently lol
deadly nightshade Oh my goodness! That is so crazy you had the same thing happen!
Same...My hair is sooo dry, sooo frizzy, and always tangled! But it gets really wavy/curly whenever it's humid outside or I don't brush it. And it literally happened over night when I was 12 or 13. My hair used to be *super* straight. And everyone in my family has really straight hair, so I don't really know how to take care of my hair. I'm sooo glad that I found this channel!
I had the same thing happen: poker straight until puberty then it went wavy, and doubled in thickness
@@Lea-dq2uy same I never really knew how to take care of my 2a/2b hair because everyone in my family has straight hair so I just did what did they did and I was convinced my hair was straight but just super frizzy and I'm really happy I found her channel too
Same thing
Holy shit you have the most gorgeous hair I’ve ever seen.
I notice that every time I wear my natural hair my family and friends tell me to tie up my hair or brush it because I guess curly hair looks “unprofessional” anyways. I wanna get my curly hair back, it’s a bit damage and I love curly hair so I don’t care what anyone says, I’m gonna rock my natural hair.
I've never felt that curly hair looks unprofessional on heard anyone say that. Very unfortunate that your family isn't embracing the way that you were born. Rock your natural hair!
Omg! That reminded me of when my old manager told my friend her hair looked unprofessional bc she had it naturally wavy 😳
it’s been awhile since you commented this but i have wavy hair and it’s naturally voluminous and my family always told me to brush it and stuff because it looks “ratty” or “scraggly” so i can really relate to this. annoying that anything but pin straight or defined curling iron curls is messy to some.
Yeah. Nobody has told me, but sometimes in my head I wonder if my hair looks too "messy" or "unprofessional" for work, but I REFUSE to damage my hair any longer with the hot iron. My hair has broken off to the point I can't even make a pony tail look decent so quite frankly I don't really care if my natural hair looks unkempt and unruly... It's still better than having damaged hair
Oh. My. Lord.
That is the most GORGEOUS set of curls I've ever seen! Everything about it is straight outta heaven. The cut, colour, movement! I can't even focus on what you're saying because of those buttery curls! 😍😍
I didn't even know it was possible for naturals to eliminate frizz 100%. And you can tell its virgin, non heat styled because of how healthy it looks. Not silicone shine but richer somehow. I'm also generally envious of those with lighter natural hair colour for curls because the light bounces off the curves.
Thankyou for sharing your journey and your perfect hair. I'm so happy that this is naturally possible for someone.
Yes, we are enough. I found 2b waves hidden inside of what I thought was stick straight hair. God gave me this wave pattern and I am grateful.
LindySellsHomes omg me too!
“I am enough just the way God created me.” Yes! That brought tears to my eyes. So many of us struggle with self-acceptance. Your hair is stunning (color and curls)-and in this video it looks very curly. I started the CGM when lockdown began in March. I have been tempted to give up, but your videos encourage me.
not gonna lie this hair is the most beautiful I have ever seen on a person ❤️
My hair was the same! Curly when I was very little, straight through elementary school, and got super frizzy in middle school.
I like the overall video, I think it’s important though to highlight that not everyone’s hair will transform from 2a to 2c. It can improve the health of your hair but it will not make your curls tighter if that is not your natural pattern that grows out of your head. Sometimes we have to learn to love what we have and not focus on what we aspire to have especially if the aspirations are unrealistic.
Remember Goldilocks from Goldilocks and the three bears? This is her now
My hair is dead straight but I’m here anyway
Same and I tried bringing some natural wave in it but nope, that’s not my hair sadly enough
Same lol
Welcome outsider
Hello from Mumbai, India. Your hair is SO beautiful, it's shiny n curly, I really wish I had hair like yours, I think you HAVE the Best quality hair I have seen so far. I'm really inspired , I am on a curly girl journey myself, it's been a month but yet to see a lot of changes. Thank you so sharing this video
Check out Shruti Amin here on CZcams. She is also doing curly girl and I think you'll like her!
"I am enough." That is the most wonderful realization a person can have. You are ahead of the curve. I was over 50 years old when I got that one. P.S.: your hair is simply gorgeous.
Thank you! I am thankful for that statement! 🤩🤩
I LOVE how you said the journey is more than just about hair. It is such a beautiful and genuine approach to beauty care. Thank you!!
Oh my God! You’re so beautiful inside and out. What you say by the end of your video about self acceptance and your personal journey throughout this process made me appreciate and admire you so much. Thank you for sharing with us.
I’m watching this video months after you posted it & i literally just paused at 7:09 & bought the curly girl method on amazon. i’d hear about it about a year ago and stopped using sulphates/silicones after researching a bit, but i never really dove into it and watching this makes me want to see how much curl i can get out of my hair! same as you, my hair was very curly as a little girl but i damaged it for so many years with heat and bleaching. i’m super grateful that there is a community out there for wavy/curly girls & im super excited to really start this journey with my hair. thank you for posting this 🧡
My hair used to be straight but literally just like you it turned wavy when I was 11 now I’m 13 and it’s just gotten worse
Avril N. are we the same person? hold up-
Avril N. Omg same, when I was little it was 3a/b, but as I grew up to became 2a, but then when I was 11, it was 2b, and now that I'm 13 it's 2a/b/c
Avril N. Worse ? You mean better * curls rule
Im literally crying watching this bc I hated my hair so much, it's super thick, high porosity, and wavy. When i was little it was ringlets and red, i loved it! I destroyed it :( I just started my journey with an 8in chop off of the old color and damage and I washed it and woke up with gorgeous chunky curls!!!!! Woah! Now I need to learn how to care for it :) thank you for doing this video. Our hair is the same :)
Even in her so called "damaged" hair pictures her hair still looked beautiful.
I’m so glad you talked about this being a journey to self acceptance and learning to care for yourself. I’ve been spending so much time on my hair since I started curly girl a little over a month ago. I couldn’t figure out why I was able to commit so much time and energy to one thing. I began to feel like it was a lot more about caring for myself. I could feel something bigger happening inside myself, but I couldn’t put it into words. Thank you for sharing your journey!
The lack of frizz... I wish my hair did that, I'm frizz city
Noémie Frizz Town over here says hi
*Village of the frizz joins the convo*
That means your hair needs more moisture
Omg so true about the self acceptance after going curly. I feel the same way. Such a self confidence booster
Favorite thing is YOU! And your overwhelmingly positive attitude and encouragement for others to keep going and trying new things so they can learn to love and embrace their curls the way you have
Still love watching this every once in a while. I found you in January 2021 and my hair has evolved along with you! I get so many compliments on my hair now thanks to all your tips. I finally found a hair stylist that understands how to cut my wavy curly hair and I shared my routine with her today and she said I was doing everything right! That is because of you and your videos. Keep sharing girl! Keep being your sweet self.
Oh my! 🥰🥰This is sweet! Thank you!🤗🤗 And thank you for coming along on the wavy/curly journey with me!
Your hair is SOOOO pretty!
Your before pic are basically my hair 🙏 hopefully my hair will end up like yours cuz danm! It's beautiful and shiny 😍
Oh my goodness you are too sweet! You got this friend! It takes a lot of time but it worth it!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney yeah it does take a long time! I have been on and off the curly girl method! This year I am committed! Been trying a lot of things like plopping, silk pillows, and products. Not much success but eventually I will get beautiful curls and waves!
Thank you! You actually brought tears to my eyes when you shared how this journey has made you feel😍
I’m a 3b/3c and I never watch videos of people with your hair type but I will have to say I am extremely happy that I watched your video and I love that we have shared some of the same thoughts and use some of the same products. Your hair is beautiful and I can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos.
Courtney, excellent story. I stopped shampoo in 2001, Curly Girl book was (is) my bible and have had kept my 3a curls at 18-20 inches for the last 10+ years - what joy! Recently I had to cut off about 14 inches of bleach damage and now I need to learn my whole head's curl pattern as short hair! It;s like learning to walk again, sorry to be so dramatic. This too shall pass. Thank you for showing us your journey in a humble, forthright manner, so educational!
I just discovered you and curly girl and I love this video so much! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! It's so encouraging. I'm not getting the results I want as fast as I want, but I'm hoping eventually I will!!! Excited to start this journey!
Omg the last bit about learning to accept how your hair is and therefore learning to accept and love yourself 👌🏻👌🏻 that’s how I’ve been feeling!
It’s been hard finding girls with your type of hair to follow in the curly hair community! So I’m super happy I found you! Subscribed!
Your hair is beautiful!! Looks sooo healthy and has such a gorgeous texture!! And that colour too!!
Cristina Villarino 🥰🥰🥰
That was Beautiful. I am now inspired to begin my transformation journey- both inward and outward. Thank you! ❤
That last bit, about how the curly path leads you to want to honor the rest of you in the same way...that resonated deeply.
Thank you! Your channel is full of amazing advice! I’m trying to get back my curls. I’ve been convinced for last 10 years that they are gone, but they are starting to show! This is absolutely exciting time for me. You’ve been more than helpful and I’m incredibly thankful that you took all this time to make your videos. No one ever told me all this stuff! My mom has completely straight hair, and I inherited mine from my dad who was bolding since I remember 😆 I also have incredibly fine hair, I thought it’s just me. The fact that you are so positive and just your unique self makes watching these videos so much fun ❤️❤️❤️
You literally changed my hair and inspired me to take initiative and try things I’ve always been too intimidated to try- thank you so much! You’re so sweet and helpful and I’m so happy I found your channel. Thank you for the information and inspiration! Keep up the good work!
Your hair is so ridiculously shiny and frizz-free omg. Also, maybe I'm feeling extra emotional tonight, but your speech about the CGM teaching self-acceptance got me a bit teary-eyed.
My one year anniversary for going CG is this week, and I've still got a lot to learn. I'm slow to try new products and techniques because I want to be really thorough before deciding that something doesn't work for me. Lately I just can't seem to figure out if my hair wants to be waves or loose curls, because it seems to flip-flop daily. I actually never owned a hair dryer before going CG, but I discovered that diffusing gives me much tighter curl definition, so that was a recent major breakthrough in my curl journey. Also, I don''t have to wait for my hair to air dry for six hours, so win-win.
Amanda Sain Yeay for diffusing! I actually choose to diffuse my hair everytime I style because I like the result it gives. I’m so humbled my story touched you! You are so kind. And don’t worry about your changing curl pattern. Mine does that too! Depending on the weather, which products I used, and how the stars are lining up (jk) it will curl up differently.
“I am enough.”
That was beautiful, thank you for sharing.
This video was so much more than about hair... I LOVE your realization of “this is my hair and I am enough”. ❤️
Wow. Just wow. It's funny how most of us wanted pin straight hair in middle/highschool only to end up loving our curls!!
That’s what the trends do to us. Make us wax our eyebrows off then 10 years later we’re fighting over castor oil to grow them back.
Your hair is so gorgeous it doesn’t even look real. It looks like an animation lol. Congrats it’s absolutely beautiful
Wow! Just learning about this. I’ve been fighting 1/2 curly/frizzy hair my entire adult life. 48 years old now. Buying that book today! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for this. I've had really curly hair my whole life. During my senior yr of college, my hair suddenly became straight, and I turned to a curling iron to get 'my old hair' back. Its been 3 years. You have inspired me to give this a try- and stick to it!
Pin straight hair girl here, just wanted to say how gorgeous your hair is! My mom has your hair type and she straightens it, making it look very frizzy... I sent her a link to the book so hopefully she gets the hint! Her natural hair is so gorgeous, her hair is so thick/textured it looks really bad straightened. Me on the other hand, I wash my hair with only shampoo and let it air dry and it's just, straight. The grass is greener on the other side.
Lmao the grass is greener on the other side me wen ppl say give me one good reason to stay 😂😂😂
You are so sweet! I love the way you explain everything...smiley but not jumping off the walls bubbly☺ thank you for the great info and your genuine attitude..I'm going to watch your other videos now..
Bellekys Keefe thank you! That is a big compliment!
Best curly girl Method video I have seen so far! Absolutely loved this video! So much useful information and you just have the best personality! Thank you!
You are utterly delightful! Love your video and your spirit. I am 55 and STILL learning how to best care for my curly hair. Thanks for sharing your journey and tips!
Im just here crying because of my thin straight hair while my lucky sister is on a curly hair journey. Your hair is so gorgeous.
TaylorToYou Hey, don’t compare yourself. All hair textures are beautiful, and naturally straight is no exception.
Wow your hair looks so shiny and healthy, gorgeous 😍 Barely wavy?! 2b to 2C Curls are CURLS
I also experienced loving and accepting myself making the curly girl journey, my hair routine is now part of my self care
Pretty lady I am about 6 weeks in and I can't believe I almost started crying watching a video about hair! Love your stuff thank you!
Soooo, I just want to say how much I appreciate you and your videos! I am just starting the curly girl method (like literally day 3) and the whole reason I decided to start was from stumbling across your videos! I have looked into the curly girl method multiple times in the past and it was just wayyy to confusing and overwhelming for me. BUT youuuuu make it so much easier to grasp and now I feel like trying this method is going to be hard, but it can be done! So with all of that said, again thank you for your dedication to the method and to your channel because I wouldn't have started this journey without you. XO
Happy curly-versary!
Irai Rod thank you!!!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I'm only a couple weeks in...I'm one of those "I didn't know I was curly" people because I'm only ever-so-slightly wavy and never imagined I could coax soft, open ringlets to form in my hair. Your "year in review" gives me great inspiration. Thank you for sharing it.
Your hair is gorgeous! I’m almost 40 and just discovered that I have naturally wavy hair. I have been flat ironing my hair for years because I just thought it was frizzy! Lol. This was a wonderful, helpful, and inspiring video!
A Lovely Yarn Oh my goodness! I’m so glad this video was helpful! Thank you so much!
Starting this curly girl journey and the amount of info and products to use have been overwhelming, so I’ve been unsure of how to even start.. I’m so glad CZcams suggested this video. I’ve watched a few other curly girl videos and still was left confused. This one has been by far the best one yet, and has answered a lot of questions I’ve had! Off to watch more of yours to get even more awesome info! Thanks so much, new subscriber!
This is thee most perfect hair I have ever seen. Gorgeous even curl pattern, no frizz, not greasy, looks moisturized, and is just perfect.
I finally found someone with the exact same situation!!! Really curly when I was little, got straight, then got weird around puberty. I’m just starting my journey since I got tired of straightening every single day. I hope my hair bounces back! (Right now it’s at about 2b with some 2a waves)
SopHazeee it’s been 3 month already.Can u tell us about your results
I'm on the journey to love and take care of myself. God put me on the journey, so I was sooooo excited when you talked about that at the end. God bless you 🙏
Your hair is so beautiful and so shiny and it has absolutely no frizz! How?! I love this video and your hair. Make sure you rock it girl!!
I have never seen a hair as beautiful and perfect as yours... the color, the texture, soooo beautifuuuuul!!!
You have gorgeous hair!! Serious inspiration. I have 2A hair and am experimenting.
my hair was curly when i was little too and i’d had it really short until i was about 10 and started realizing it was wavy and was brushing it out realizing it was just poofy; but when it was wet i’d noticed it was wavy, so a few years ago i tried curl products and wavy products and it worked okay but just recently its turned to almost 3a when i started using a curling gel and cream and i’m so happy to say i’m starting my curly girl journey!! 💗
I'm so excited I found you❤ just starting my curly girl journey. You are a wealth of info. Thanks for sharing!
WE HAVE THE SAME STORYY omg. thanks for all the advices, I just started to try and get back my beautiful curls after 10 years of dying my hair, and doing straightening methods that damaged my hair's true shape! I am excited, I just started last week. thanks
This is one of the most beautiful heads of hair I have ever seen!!! It hardly looks real!
Love your journey. Tfs your story. I'm 6 months in and still working at it. Gave me hope as there's a few more things to try including diffusing. Funny but I like your curls better than the ones on the cover of the book. Yep yep we gotta love what God gave us! 😘
I love your message about self acceptance ❤️ this was a joy to watch and I have straight hair!
Oh my goodness seeing your progress pictures gave me SO much hope
this is my day 2 doing curly girl!! and wow ur hair is so healthy and shiny and beautiful👀🤩
+Addi faith you’ve got this!!! 🤗🤗🤗
I was born with ringlets and hated them when I was a little girl, but now my hair has relaxed to wavy as I've gotten older. I did not use heat much nor straightened it often. Must just be age since it's not heat damage and I've been doing the Curly Girl Method for years. I am very disappointed and miss my "Shirley Temple" curls. (for all the young people, Shirley was a cute little actress with adorable curls). Sigh. We hate what we have then miss it when we lose it.
Other than the fact that I have less dense hair than you, we have the exact same hair and story. I'm loving following you and you've inspired me to try to leave my hair natural and love my wavy curly hair!
So pretty.
You are one of the wavy/curly youtubers who makes me able to learn how to have non crunchy wavy hair and not hate it. You have wonderful waves/ curls. I just started maybe 2 months ago and I'm nowhere near where I want to be but I'm getting there.
Cute baby pics.
i really love your hair 😍 so natural and beautiful.
Ruby Miguel 🥰🥰🥰
your hair is so impossibly perfect hOW IS IT REAL
LOVE your conclusion!! “You are enough” 💗
I LOVE your videos. I used to use regular gel and HATED how it felt so I went to blowing out my hair for years. Then moved to Missouri and of course the humidity ruined my styling fast most the time. So I stumbled across you on CZcams again and being fed up with my puffy frizz I went to Ulta to ask what to use to tame my frizzy mess. The salon person showed me Curl Smith, never heard of it. I bought it. My profile pic is day 1 after cowash moisture recipe and styling souffle, and plopped my hair in a cotton tshirt, then diffused on cool. It struck me that I saw myself as beautiful, which I would NOT say of my puffy frizz otherwise. I posted to my fb that I was going to learn how to embrace the hair God gave me and get it healthy. THANK YOU for all the time and effort you put into this so others can learn and be encouraged on our rough days in this journey! I am one week into my curly girl journey. After buying 2 Curl Smith products and ordering the perfect towel you promote, I'm waiting to buy the silk pillowcase. I at least now have a cheap Walmart satin one 🤷♀️, I figure that's gotta still be better than cotton. I was also thankful I still had curly girl approved leave in conditioner, my hair has desperately needed it. Learning how to squish to condish. Thanks for all you do, and for pointing others to Christ in the process!
Girl I think I have your exact hair type and now I need to change my whole life
That shine though! 😍 gorgeous hair!
Jill J 🥰🥰🥰
Okay I am hopping on this CG train starting ASAP!!! I haven't put color on my hair in 10 months and I got rid of my straightener and only use my wand once a week BUT now I am going to not use any hot tools at all and sleep with a T-shirt wrapped in my wet hair! Just ordered products and made an appointment to get my fried, old colored ends chopped off and then I will do a final wash and start this year with healthy hair! I hope my hair takes to it well, but to be honest I know anything is better than what I was doing before! I am so excited!!! Thank you for making this video! :)
girl your hair is GLOWING!! 😍
First I have to say, normally I don’t choose videos with such a long playtime. But your positive appearance , loving and authentic kind to present yourself and your thoughts hold me in place to look the whole long video. And btw I have never seen such beautiful shiny and bouncy hair before. You did everything right, good job! Greetings from Germany
free Mind oh my goodness!! Thank you so much! Greetings from Texas!
Your curls look amazing!
OH MY GOD YOUR HAIR IS SO SHINY SOOO PERFECTT WOW I AM SHOOK
Thank you for the commentary on high porosity hair & damaged hair. For years stylists have said how “damaged” my hair is, but then I did a pixie cut, got rid of all color and potential damage, and my hair was still dry / high porosity, with a ton of baby hairs that look like “breakage” to stylists. It took me years to figure out this was just my hair type and texture!
Wow! What a beautiful review of your experience.
Inês Brito thank you!
would love to see a routine video for this! the Curls are amazing! and I think I have the same type of hair .
Really loving your videos! Thank you for making things so practical and easy to understand. About to start my CG journey - will be watching these over and over!
One of the most beautiful curls I ever seen and I've seen a million 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
