    Manes by Mell made a really good video on different diffusing techniques for different results: definition, volume and elongation. Brad only really showed one here. From what she has said, blowing upward CAN work but only when done strategically: a gel cast has to have formed over the curls so they don’t frizz, and you have to cup the curls very carefully. Her videos on curls are really useful, would love to see a collab

      She should do a review of this video from the point of view of someone who specializes in curly hair. Up until very recently cosmetology schools focused primarily on styling hair from a straight texture rather than curly.

    Honestly, Brad lost me when he said diffusing downward creates frizz. Using the hands while diffusing creates frizz, not the direction of the diffuser. Using a bit of gel would solve the frizz issue, as long as you don't touch the hair while drying, and break the gel cast once you are done.
    I really would love to see Brad doing a collab with curly hair CZcamsrs. This a whole new world.

Maybe a little twist out action, or a wash n' go, or maybe even try to do some knotless briaids? I don't anticipate him blowing us away, but Brad is always so respectful and humble so I just know it'll be a good video regardless of the actual outcome of the hair.

    I have to say this technique worked really well on my wavy hair! I'd been doing it the "wrong" way for the last 2 years. No wonder my hair was not consistent in waviness. I agree with some of the comments that this isn't for everyone. I watch a variety of videos pertaining to wavy hair and take from each what works for me. Some influencers insist their way is the only way that works and that's bullshit. If it works for them awesome and if it works for other people, that's awesome too. But to insist their way is the only way is very narrowminded....

    Hmmm I think it really depends on your hair. I don’t have time so I use high heat high speed & don’t really have frizzy hair because of the cast from products. And if you’re gentle when drying upwards, it’s a great way to get the volume you may want instead of definition because curly girls may want different things!

      I took Brad’s shampoo techniques (he has a video on this) & I swear, it changed my hair forever! Lol I’ve been shampooing how he says for many many months now. I brush my hair in the shower to spread the shampoo when rinsing (his video doesn’t say this, this is just my technique lol). His video says to only put shampoo on the scalp. Scrub side to side (NOT in a circle motion). Then while rinsing, spread the shampoo towards the ends.
      Shampoo & scrub on ur scalp and not on ur mid to ends will help ur hair not get stripped of the oils it needs. On the days when u don’t wash ur hair, brush your hair from scalp to ends to spread out the oils.
      This really changed my hair health. I am so glad something finally worked for my wavy/frizzy/course hair… to have less breakage overall, healthier/better looking hair that can finally grow long, I had to share with you!! I hope this helps 🙂🙂😊😊💖

Instant gratification. I really thought it was self explanatory but I guess it really is in the technique. Prob finding what's more suitable to ur hair texture. For ppl who lack patience& not even know what they're doing 🙋🏻‍♀️, I was like wth. I was better off just spraying junk in my hair & just manually scrunching. Now my hair feels sticky, crunchy, nappy & it's like thicc, lol. Idk I don't actually want That much volume.

      Blowing upwards is okay Brad is being dramatic. It helps a lot with volume, and all depends on what your goal is with your curls. As long as you are gentle there are so many more ways to diffuse your hair that give so many different results. As a curly girl I experiment all the time with new methods I come up with for fun and get great results. Frizz will mostly happen if there isn’t enough product in your hair to start and it isn’t moisturized.

    Honestly as a natural wavy, I feel like this tutorial is more aimed at straight haired folks who want to create waves and not so much at wavies who want more defined waves. Also... curls are not the same as waves. If it doesn't curl from the root, it's wavy. Overtyping is a huge problem in the hair care community, especially with the prevalence of CGM despite it not being a good routine for most people and certainly not for wavies.

    • @cicilg
      @cicilg Před 6 měsíci +3

      I used to have super curly hair but it didn't always necessarily 'curl from the root'. A curl is a type of spiral. Wave is just a zigzag. But I had long thick very curly hair so the weight can pull down from the root making it less curly at the root sometimes. Just because it doesn't appear curly out of the head doesn't necessarily mean it isn't curly hair though.

      The original curl typing system labelled all Afro hair as type 4, while 3A & 3B hair were non-kinky loose curly hair types. The expansion has actually been in the other direction, which is understandable but not really 'better'.

    Hey, could you please considering making fragrance free versions of some of your products? I have wavy to curly hair, and since figuring out that I'm sensitive to fragrance, I have noticed that there are very few products out there that are truly fragrance free, and even fewer developed for different hair types. I even went looking in a Sally's, and the person working there literally had no clue what I meant by fragrance free. She picked up a bottle and was like, "This one doesn't have a very strong scent." And I was like, 🤔 "Okay, but that's not going stop it from irritating my scalp to where I want to rip my hair out" 👀 I also got my hair cut, and the salon had exactly 0 products that were safe to use on my hair. I'm in a Facebook support group with almost 800 members, helping each other figure out which brands are actually safe, and which brands are just arbitrarily slapping "free & clear" on their packaging just to make money. I can count on one hand how many fragrance free hair care products are available. It would just be nice to have more options.
