Loved it!
actually it's not that difficult to make such a video, when you have premiere and after effects
@@TodesHippie it must've taken some time though!
The thing about curly hair is that bad hair days are normal and good hair days are a miricale

True

Yaassss, especially because it's usually different textures, i have mostly 3b hair but on the bottom I have some 2b, and in some random places I have 4a...I have no clue how they get there...
I have curly hair and this makes me realise how lazy i am lmao
Emily Winchester - omg same
Sis same like I know what I should do but I’m lazy the most I do is wash Saturday and then Friday or five to 8 days In between
@@lifenolonger i wash my hair once a week
nah she's just doing too much
@@DRAGONFLY-te2gy fr
I think you‘ll have to layer your hair at the hairdresser since a "straight"/"normal" cut isn‘t made for wavy or curly hair, that‘s how you get way more volume and it will be soooo much wavier
I have natural spiral curls and fine textured hair, layers help take the weight off that weighs the curls down and turns them into frizz.
I agree
K T for me it‘s the exact other way around, when they grow out the curls weigh down but not when they‘re freshly cut it gives you volume and lets the curls look sooo beautiful i love it
Wait are you saying that layers give more volume or that straight cuts give more volume? I didn't understand the way you worded it
Patchy Rye layers give more volume
Isabella, since your hair is fine and not type 4, I wouldn't recommend co-washing! I know everyone raves about it, but the curly girl method is not as great as everyone thinks it is. Yes, it's a great starting point with heaps of amazing tips, but personally, I've found for fine, 2A-3B hair, co-washing just doesn't do the job when trying to remove products that are in your hair, like creams and gels. I recommend that instead of co-washing, just wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo a little more regularly and use a sulfate shampoo every 2-3 washes to act as a 'reset' button on your scalp. I've tried this with 3A hair, and found it causes way less hair loss and scalp irritation, as well as increasing the quality and strength of my hair!
thanks for sharing x I'm not co-washing, it's a nonfoaming cleanser and i didn't realise when I bought it, so I didn't intend to co-wash when I started. my hair is a mixture of fine blonde and a lot of coarse red so it's difficult to label it and figure out what works, but thank you for your advice.
@@IsabellaDemarko Thanks! Just wanted to share my own experience. You're doing great so far, your hair looks beautiful! :)
The idea of co-washing terrified me (oily, fine hair) so I never tried it. I use a sulphate shampoo once a month and deep condition every couple of weeks, and that seems to work for me. CGM can be like a cult sometimes!
Coming from someone who does have natuturally curly hair. I don't really use the curly girl method. I shampoo and conditioner with either a repairing product or a curl product, then I put a frizz control in my hair following with my actual curl product and scrunch those into my hair. Personally, I don't diffuse my hair because it adds frizz, but that is just my personal opinion on diffusing my hair, it just doesn't work for me. If it works for you go ahead and do it. I have tried the curly girl method and that doesn't really work for me. What works for me is finding what does work for me and piece it together to where I am happy with my curl pattern. Also, Isabella, I don't remember if you have addressed this in one of your videos, but NEVER brush/comb your hair when it is not wet. This will causebreakage of your hair, frizz and negatively effect your curl pattern.
I have 2b red-blonde hair as well and I‘ve found washing with a sulfate free shampoo really helpful to grow and strengthen it. My tip to get volume to the roots, is not to put conditioner there. Just apply it to your lengths
I’m so happy she’s finally getting to a good point with her hair. She honestly deserves everything after all these years
bless thank you
@@IsabellaDemarko Hey, just stopping by to say I have natural ringlets but after a couple days no brush (I wash once a week and aim to condition 3 times a week, brush only on those days in the shower) it goes straight as heck and frizzy too. You're not alone!!
@@IsabellaDemarko keep doing what you doing I were you the one who did bratz vids
Hey Isabella, speaking from experience I can definitely confirm that most likely your products are too heavy for your hair. When my hair transitioned from straight to wavy/curly I used products like creams and heavy gels which was notttt a good look on me because it make my hair heavy instead of light and bouncy. And to try and fight the weighed down effect it caused me to try methods like clips or drying upside down (yes I sat on my bed with my head upside down lol) to make it more voluminous.
Instead of the products you might be using here are my suggestions:
Instead of heavy creams I'd use lighter creams, try the Not Your Mother's Combing Cream (I use the Tahitian Gardenia one).
For gels, I use mousse, same as creams I use Not Your Mother's and I use the maximum hold kind because mousse has a much lighter hold than most gels, so it's best to use the strongest you can find.
I used to have to refresh my curls every morning because I would find that gels and heavy creams would actually malform my curls when I slept at them at night, which may not be the case for you, but I definitely helped when I switched over to lighter products. So now I only refresh them with a refreshing oil (I use Aussie's Miracle Curls Curl Refresher) which is very light and doesn't leave a shiny effect on my hair, and if I ever have a bad hair day I'll turn to spritzing it with water then using the curl refresher.
Also another tip is if you feel your hair is dull, use argan oil (I use the one from OGX) on the ends, a very small amount, like 2 sprays rubbed between your hands, then comb it down one half of your hair and repeat.
Some tips for the actual washing/drying part of your hair routine:
Shampoo only the roots, and condition only the bottoms/middle (but avoid your scalp). The ends of our hair are typically more dry (especially with any kind of natural curl) and shampooing the roots should be enough to cleanse your hair as that is the place that collects the most dirt, and any excess is removed when rinsing the shampoo out. And I recommend against conditioning the roots because it can make it weighed down because of the moisturizing products in most conditioners, and our scalps already produce enough oil/sebum to keep the roots moisturized without any of our additional help.
For drying, the first thing I do is I kind of break up my hair by flipping my head over and sort of separating the soaked hair from my scalp so that it is hanging loose from my head and not slicked back from the water any more (I hope that made sense it's kind of hard to describe). Then when it's still soaking I add my combing cream raking it through, then using the "praying hands method" I add the mousse and scrunch after. After that I use a microfiber towel (or cotton shirt) and remove excess moisture.
Then after I spray on the argan oil to my ends if needed, and refresh in the morning.
I workout every single day, so unlike the CGM usually recommends I wash my hair very frequently to avoid sweat/dirt buildup in my hair. This is what works for me and I've had curly hair for about 2 years now. I've gone through a LOT of products to get to the method I use now, and I've had a LOT of bad hair days, so hang in there because eventually you'll figure it out.
Hope this helped!
Karina Tanis what shampoo and conditioner do you use?
Karina Tanis this is incredibly helpful! I have a combination of 1c,2a,2b fine hair and these tips will be fun to try.
@@yosranadhimi3689 I actually don't have specific favorites, but currently I am using Acure's Body Beautiful Shampoo and their Simply Smoothing Conditioner. My only rules for shampoo/conditioner are no sulfates and no silicones. I tend to mix up what I use because that can help fight build up and I also occasionally clarify my hair with head and shoulders to eliminate any build up that could've occurred just as an extra measure (I do that maybe once a month or so as needed).
@@lookouthill11 Thank you! And I'm glad it helped! IT can be extremely difficult for curly girls with a more wavy texture to find what works because not a lot of people with our hair type embrace it and so there isn't a lot of info. Have fun trying everything out!
@@karinatanis8601 Thank you for sharing! I'll look into those :)
This made me realize that I’m so cruel to my hair
Aerin_Is_Here same
My hair went from strait to curly. And every day is different. Everyone's hair is different. Some people swear by buns, other's by braids. Some by co-washing, other's not. keep trying things out and figure out what works for you :)
totally! x
@@IsabellaDemarko u should check manes by mell channel she is a professional hair stylist her hair is curly but she give good tipes
i don’t like co washing but i know a ton of people love it lol
When I wash my hair it is wavy at the ends, but the net day it’s more straight, but not really straight
The before and after wicked girl! So much healthier and shinier. Looks beaut babe. 🧡🧡🧡
Like i mean who the heck says I'm gonna be waving my waves. Curling my curls just sounds natural😂
exactly! haha
Thank you
Isabella Demarko you should start using a demon brush to help define your curls
@@icytodoroki4294 Demon brush? 😧 That sounds scary 😂😅. I'm guessing you meant Denmon lol
@@markeliupson943 I think you meant Denman
Just a little fact: whether your hair is wavy, curly, transitioning from one to another, this type of texture (curly/wavy) will never have two days where it looks the same. So thats probably one of the reasons you’ve found inconsistencies. As a wavy haired girl myself i have had the same routine for 6 years since ive found what works for my hair, and it literally never dries the same ahah. Its normal baby girl xxx
When you first started were the waves not like waving properly if that makes sense like will it take time for my hair to adjust to the new method I’m using?
@@livarnold492 yes theyll take a moment to start waving properly and looking nice and how you want them xx
I have straightened my hair for my whole life. Since quarantine I dont go straighten it anymore and the roots are coming out wavy for 2 inches. My hair is now wavy on the top and straight in the bottom. Cant wait for it to grow wavy all out
“Looks like she would benefit from a layered cut to keep from weighing down her waves” I say, pretending like I know literally anything about anything
I played hair dresser with my dolls when I was younger and I was thinking the same thing. It's very thick so layers would probably make a huge difference in her curl
Can I just say- even beyond hair- you are absolutely gorgeous.
bless you thank you x
The look of your hair has improved drastically already, and this is just the beginning!!
Heyy so here are some things I realised about my hair that might help yours or anyone's. Just for context, I have 2B, 2C, 3A hair.
1. It's very important to cleanse your hair properly. I do a deep cleanse with a sulphate shampoo every month, but I also have a sulphate free shampoo (by cantu) that helps to remove buildup. I use that one in one day and use another one that's more gentle the next wash day.
2. When I style my hair wet, I get much more definition that when it's damp. Make sure your hair makes the squishy sound when you aply your products, that means its absorbing it. I dont use a microphyber towel before aplying the styling products, only after. But your hair also must not be too wet, you have to find a mid term.
3. I scrunch my hair with a tshirt or a microphyber towel after styling it and then I plop it (if you dont know what it is, please search it, I think it will help you a lot)
4. Hammock difusing makes your waves way more defined and curlier.
5. You should also try fingercoiling your hair, manesbymel has a great video on that.
6. Deep conditioning every week (with a silicone free deep conditioner, I can't stress that enough) using heat to open the cuticles is very important, if you use heat you hair will be much more hydrated. I started doing that every week and my hair became way softer and shinier.
7. You shuld try using a curl cream with the gel, to give you more definition and less frizz. But look for one that is light, made for wavy hair, that way it won't weight your hair down. Also, a curl defining cream is different than a leave in, cause its supposed to give you definition. A leave in will ony give it moisture, not definition. If I were you I wouldn't use a leave in, it might weight your hair down, just look for a cream that says it will define your hair
I hope I helped someone, this took me a long time to figure out but please remember that everyone's hair is different and just because it worked for me doesn't mean it will work for you
Omg thank youuu!!! I really needed this tips, you're literally an angel💗💗
What is your fav deep conditioner
Thank you for making this comment! Just looked up hammock diffusing and I think that’s going to be my game changer.

Natural girls do not wear their curly hair everyday.... We also do protective style... And i think wearing a satin bonet will help more than the high pony
Jaycelyn tay Exactly. If I let my hair be curly everyday it would be a mess.
Jaycelyn tay what is a natural girl,
Aylam Cheyne tbh the term is kind of in debate. Some believe that it includes only type 4 haired girls (coily/kinky) while others believe it should include those with curly hair. 🤷🏾♀️
Not gonna lie, I wear wash-n-gos every day. I have no patience for full-on braids, and I lose more hair from buns than I do from detangling hair I've left loose. Different strokes, different folks.
Definitely agree on the satin bonnet, though. Best thing I've purchased.
ybell1294 yes a satin bonnet really helps keep my waves happy while i sleep. i recently got one and i am loving it so much!
I'm so confused I've always thought I had straight, frizzy, and deceptively thick hair but when wet my hair looks like your wet hair. If I let it dry and don't brush it, it has a really nice wave. Should I be using the curly girl method?
hh it sounds like I have the same type of hair as you, I’m starting the curly girl method soon, if you think it will be good, go for it. Just research first :)
Yes give it a shot, but don't be afraid to clarify your hair once a month. Doing that and being careful not to use too heavy of products eliminates the buildup issues that cgm can cause sometimes
yess i know i’m late but pls do it your hair sounds like mine and mines curly when i take care of it
I have crazy curly hair, I never did any of these tips till March last year and wow!! It was shit for months lol but lock down so meh. After a few months my curls were so much glosser, defined and healthy, it also grew Alot! To be fair I'm currently back to square one as I started using shampoo and heat again 🤦🏼♀️ but I definitely recommend trying! It take a while to see improvement but Holy moly it's worth it!!
Yesss you should do that!!
Hey! I’m a stylist from DC and watching your hair transition into soft curls has been very interesting! This is actually very common with alot of my young clients and it’s all about embracing what is becoming of you and your beauty 💗Since watching I’ve noticed alot of beautiful curls forming in the back but challenging around the face and on top. Your scrunching technique is perfect. I would suggest taking one inch square sections around the crown of your head and with your scrunching gel twist your hair into ringlets while your head is tilted over. This encourages volume and enhancement of curls to form as you diffuse. Let me know if that helps!👋🏽🙆🏽♀️😀
Your hair is so pretty and looks so much healthier! Honestly even the “bad” hair days look nicer than before you started the curly girl method. Definitely keep trying and figuring out what works for you! Stay healthy & I hope whatever was getting you down this month gets better.
P.S. I find that hair loose in a satin/silk bonnet can help preserve curls better if the pony tail isn’t working
Hey Isabella, as someone who has been doing the cgm for about 10 months, I can relate to the struggles you are going though about good and bad hair days during the first few months of cgm. But, here are some things I’ve learned that I think could really help your curls/waves 1. Your hair is in the middle of transitioning from straight to curly and it’s going to be pretty funky for generally about 2-3 months and then it will likely get better. 2. You seem to have a lot of buildup from the products you use so you probably need to clarify your hair about once a month, which means washing your hair with a sulfate shampoo which is then followed up by a deep conditioner (I recommend suave daily clarifying shampoo for wavy/curly hair) 3. I think the products you are using might be too heavy for your hair and you might want to look into lighter products or products made for waves, because it it very likely that they are weighing down your hair and curl pattern. 4. Also if you are looking for more uniformity in your waves/curls I would definitely recommend trying finger coiling, which will not only make your curls more uniform, but will also make them appear tighter( Curly Cailin has a video on how to do this) I hope this can help your waves/curls out some! Keep up the good work because it will eventually pay off!
Marcy G Yes! I was going to say some of the same stuff! For waves, try a spray leave-in instead of a heavier cream-based one and use milks and other more watery styling products instead of thick ones like butters. It should definitely help! Those are great 30-day results, and it will only keep getting better. Don’t give up!
Dani B Hairspray should be fine for hold, but it won’t moisturize and fight frizz... I keep hearing good things about the NYM Curl Talk leave-in, but I haven’t tried it since I can’t find it in my city. You could try ordering it online if you have trouble finding it too. An influencer I follow said it’s probably a good idea to spray it into your hand first and then smooth and rake it through since it has a really concentrated spray radius. You might also look at the Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus line. They have a styling milk that I think is supposed to condition and fight frizz. I have 3a/3b curls, so I’ve been using the Curl Enhancing Smoothie, which is much thicker and heavier than the milk. That line smells amazing! Try one of those or something similar (look for a more watery texture) for moisture and frizz and then maybe a mousse for hold. I’ve heard good things about NYM Curl Talk mousse.
I guess if you can help her you can help me or at least I hope so...so my hair is straight but when I am getting out of the shower some little parts of my hair are wavy or curly...plus there are curly baby hair growing in my head. What should I do? I really don't know how to take care of them!!!any tips? Literally anything!
Please I need help!!!!!I would really appreciate it if you could answer me
error 404 When you get out of the shower you should first try scrunching your hair. If you don’t know how to do this, there are tons of vids on how to do it. Make sure to avoid shampoos, conditioners, and styling products with lots of harsh chemicals like alcohols and sulfates. You also want to make sure that your hair is hydrated because curly hair tends to be dryer than regular hair. So for products I would recommend using leave in conditioner(they have sprays and creams so if you have thicker hair it’s better to use cream and if it’s thinner it’s better to use spray) you’re also going to want to use styling gels creams and mousses. I personally think that gel and cream hold my curls better than mousse. ( it again if you have thinner hair mousse and gel would probably better for you, but you’ll want to get a lighter gel. But thick hair could use a thicker gel and the cream.) you’re going to want to wash your hair with lukewarm water and avoid any type of heat styling product as much as possible. Try drying your hair with a microfiber towel. You can also use a diffuser for your hairdryer but I prefer to let my hair air dry because I notice that I have a lot less frizz but with a diffuser I have a lot more volume. You can look up videos on how to diffuse your hair as well. You’re also not going to want wash your hair to much because like I said, curly hair is typically more dry and washing it too often can strip your scalp of it’s natural oils. Also avoid brushing your hair while it’s dry. A lot of people say not to brush it while it’s wet but I use a wide toothed comb to get the tangled out of my hair in the shower. Some people have different opinions on how to apply products to curly hair. Some people say to take it through with your hands and some say to scrunch it in. There are so many videos in CZcams about curly hair that you can watch as well that show you what products to you and how to use them. Hope I helped😉
@@eutuxia_. you want a funny girl that have beautiful curly hair and literally just spills out truth? Try Manes by Mel

I love how both straight and curly hair suit you. Can't relate.
Honestly the curly hair community can be so gate-keepy towards wavy haired people.. like a wave is a type of curl..
Great video, I’m happy you’re getting somewhere with your hair, it takes a while but it’s sooooo worth it :)
Kate Lyons literally they can be so dramatic
Lol some days my hair is straight with really slight waves, some days my hair is wavy (2c-3a), and some it is very curly (3c-4a). What heck am I supposed to call my hair then? 😂
Lmao I’ve got Afro hair but in some areas it’s literally just waves 😂 I only use heat once every one or two years so that’s not the reason either 😂
Ridiculously true ! 🥺
Kate Lyons it’s annoying when you google curly hair styles and just just wavy haired people.
This is what I needed rn in quarantine

Literally clapped at seeing you make the breakthrough finally after 5-6 years of struggle. The results are better than you originally had aspired for! Cheers ..great stuff :)
Girl, this is the first time I've watched your videos, I'm currently trying to work on my "curly" hair and I just wanna say I love your honesty! Bad hair days get me SO down (which is a lot) and I love how open and honest you are about how it makes you feel and well done for persevering! Keep it up xx
If you’re still having trouble with the microfibre cloth, may I suggest using a cotton T-shirt
instead as that will soak up more water.
She said in reply to another comment in her last CGM video that T-shirts didn't work that well for her either.
i don't like using t-shitrs. x
@@IsabellaDemarko I use a car wash towel. lol its microfiber but meant to absorb alot more water so they are generally thicker. aka better at drying it faster. random but it works lol
Amie Bryson - Yessss I ALWAYS do this. Love it.
@@IsabellaDemarko you can try plopping with your towel! it worked wonders for me!
I love how she puts the add in the middle of the video in a way that seems like she's just talking about what she did the day before, smooth
And I like how honest she is about her life (without spilling all the tea)
haha thank you! sponsorships are so important to youtube, it's just a case of promoting only what's truly relevant to you xD
Your hair is very pretty and you don’t give it enough credit. I thought your hair looked lovely many of the times you thought you were having a bad hair day. Try making your own flaxseed gel and see how that works. It doesn’t leave any residue, it’s all natural and super easy to make. Also, aloe vera juice and gel really helps hold curls. Try the Lily of the Desert brand and see if it makes a difference. Your hair looks 100% better than before!!! This method is totally working for you. God bless and stay well!
Love how real this is. I’ve been off and on doing the curly girl method for about a year and a half and the frustration is REAL!
I freakin love how she calls out the haters 😂
damn straight! haha x
I don't think that saying that her hair is wavy and not curly is hating tho lol
@@garnetBUNNIES wavy is a curl pattern, and it gets to be a bit much when you keep getting comments like "your hair isn't even curly" when you're just trying to figure out what to with it since it's not straight
Garnet Bunnies It is for people who get so heated about people with wavy hair trying curly hair methods to make their hair look nicer. I don’t know why people make everything so damn personal.
Garnet Bunnies shut up
Hey Isabella, when you’re diffusing start from the roots and not from the ends. It makes your hair a lot frizzier if you start of from the ends and it will disturb your curl pattern.
so I've heard, thanks! x
Oh wow I did not know that. I have 3c curls and in the past I hated diffusing because it always frizzes up my curls but now I see why lol 😂 🤦🏽♀️
@@IsabellaDemarko also, you should hover over your hair and when a gel cast forms then u diffuse
I love that you’re so involved in your hair care. As a wavy/curly girl I had NO idea what I was doing and neither did my mum, so you go girl!! I would strongly recommend finger curling. It really helped me and is still helping me find my curl pattern. It just trains the hair to curl especially after not knowing what to do with it. Just give it a try after washing on wet/damp hair. Give it a try, good luck. Keep going, you’re doing so well! ❤️❤️
I have my fingers constantly crossed for you and your hair journey. You’re an amazing girl, I love the way you film, edit and talk to us. You deserve the best, I’m with you
It was great seeing you briefly address the people getting angry at you for calling your hair curly. Honestly, it can get tiring when people take things personally and compare everything to themselves. "You call THAT curly? You haven't seen MY hair!" I mean, people deal with different problems in different ways, there's no need to turn everything into a competition 😅
Anyway, your hair looks so much better after you try out this method! I hope it will keep getting healthier and cuter with all the care you put into it!
curly...wavy...nuances. Like tiny and little
Curls mean a lot of different things as there are many curl types, so calling your hair curly could mean the loosest curl type. It’s not incorrect.
Rafi rafee I'm ur biggest fan gurl ur amazing
...but she's using this method to change her pattern when it's meant to define and moisturise hair that is actually curly lol
@@urassisgras4600 actually every hair is suitable for the method, not just curly. Obviously, people with straight hair won't do the scrunch nor other steps. Its main purpose is to stop using abrasive and toxic products on the hair.
Just because she's moisturising her hair doesn't mean she's changing her hair pattern.
We literally have the same hair type. I KNOW THE STRUGGLE GIRL! 😭 I find that using some hair spray after scrunching (while your hair is still wet) holds the curls/waves so much better than gel or mouse. I also scrunch with leave-in conditioner instead of gel.
I'm so happy for your progress! I just watched your other hair videos on curly hair and I'm very glad that you took steps to make your hair look healthier. Your hair look sooo good naturally. I have naturally 3A type of hair and I've been through this journey, so keep going!
i just think her hair is overwhelmed with all these products she uses and all these methods. just let ur hair relax a little
IR3M / honestly
IR3M : Thank you for saying that like I thought the same, she needs to let her hair relax. She is using those products everyday and she is washing her hair to much which can cause your hair to be more dry and frizzy.

lmao yeah i was like "wow. thanks."
ilana lol
Moo Moo mine doesn‘t and what she has isn‘t curly
dead r0sez but it’s a curly pattern. is what they all mean.
Thank you for being so real with your struggles. Exactly what I needed to see.
I've noticed that we both have similar hair texture and I recommend to get some layers. It helped my waves be more defined and it also gave me some volume. Another thing is use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any product build up but only do it once a month
I mean, your hair is curly. Waves are a type of curl pattern.
Fat Cow yeah i've always used "curly" as a blanket term for any type of textured hair 🤷♀️
Yep. So many people feel the need to gatekeep the term curly. Makes no sense to me
T
My hair is wavy ,and I really want(love)curls
Also your profile name 😅😂
I feel like waves and curls are two different categories. I feel like this: Straight, waves , curls , kinks, and coils. And of course type four hair and lower 3 hair can have a mixture of the last three.
I always saw curls as containing spirals, ringlets, or loops. Waves and curls look distinctly different and including waves in the curl category makes it wayyy too big a category.
Would really love to see monthly updates on this! By all means though, it shouldn't need to be this thorough - I feel like regular updates like this one would be very tedious to keep up with.
That being said; really excited to see the nest hair video! You're doing great Isabella!!!
oh totally, my next one probably won't be as thorough, I just wanted to go into depth with the first one as its so important ! x
i am so happy for you 🥺 it really makes me smile to know you’ve accepted your curly hair and are embracing it !
"It's dried really weird'' is me after most wash days ._.

I'm not sure where I heard this but girls with wavy hair are suppose to use sulfate shampoos at least once a month. Actually not only for wavy hair but also curly ones. It's not good to have build up on your scalp and not washing it away properly. But everything works differently for everyone.
Niki Sarmah I have 3b hair and I use sulfates and silicons sometimes, it really depends on your hair and how you wash your hair! Where as some curly girls don’t use them at all. It really depends on you
So true! I have to use a shampoo with sulfate in once or twice a month, if I don't my hair feels sticky and heavy. I usually use a conditioner and hair mask that is sulfate free
gianna fulton my hair is not curly, rather wavy, and I dont use sulfate shampoo at all.
This is half true. It depends on the products you use. So if you use products with ingredients that cannot be removed with sulfate-free shampoo (silicones, grease, heavy waxes) then yes you need sulfate shampoo. Otherwise sulfate-free is fine and technically better for hair health.
yeah you have to clarify your hair or the excess product will mess up your curl definition and cause frizz. i learned this the hard way. you’ll think your hair is damaged but in reality it’s dirty. and not literally dirty because you’re cowashing but that little bit of residue makes a big difference.
when you first start the CG method your hair wil be going through a transitional phase -some good hair days, a lot of bad hair days- despite using the same technique.
you may wanna try more powerful styling methods like curl formers, flexi rods, finger coiling.
scrunching would give pretty depressing results at the transitional phase.
Whats finguer coiling?
@@hellokittysjuicebox906 You basically take small sections of your hair when it's still wet and twist it around your finger and it helps with curl definition and keeping frizz minimal
You are so adorable and thank you for making a video showing a full transition because I’m on day 3 and already frustrated🥹❤️giving me hope!!
I honestly love both your straight AND curly/wavy hair
Really important I've found with my hair is unless its sopping wet DONT SCRUNCH IT. Just when I get out of the shower i scrunch it when its properly wet and add my stylers and then scrunch it dry using a cotton tshirt then I have to leave it otherwise it just makes my hair frizzy. Ps love you babes and very excited to get more vids during lockdown xxx
thank you x
Sophia Blank ahhh that makes so much sense! I was wondering why my hair was so much frizzier when I scrunched more. Thanks for clearing it up🤍
This journey is more then hair its about loving one’s self.
(If anyone cares I recently started a YT would appreciate the love)
@@florentine9789 How do you know she hasn't accepted what she has and loves it already? She has repeatedly mentioned in her videos, literally again and again and again that she doesn't hate her hair, she knows she doesn't have straight hair, and she's just experimenting, and caring for your hair is okay, that caring for it the way she is doesn't mean she hates it.
ayesha siddiqa thanks so I was gone go mad. It’s obvious she loves her hair I don’t understand why she’s getting heated so much
ayesha siddiqa i never said she hated it where did u pull that from. For me when i embraced my natural hair i embraced how i came naturally + my racial identity/genetics it can mean more thats what i meant. Its a diff stage of self love embracing how u come naturally & genetically.
MeryBerryPie Ayesha siddiqa was talking to @Florentine97 not to you simply a miss understanding 😅
Sorry for causing trouble
Anna Bly girl same look at who i was replying to one under u :) ayesha girl :)
I can't get over how well your videos are made!!!! Well done!!
Keep going girl your hair is looking amazinggggg, I’m actually obsessed with your hair journeyyy
Hi Isabella, I don't know if you've ever heard this before, but from my experience, your mood can really affect your hair. For me, when I have been in a bad mood, my hair will be more frizzy with static. Don't know if you have thought about this, but maybe tracking your mood along with your hair would be interesting. :)
yes it definately does!!
I noticed this too! especially when I'm nervous before an event it gets all puffy and weird
Both of those things can also be affected by changing hormones. So I wonder if that might be why? I dunno.
Meridian Luv I think so too also explains why hair patterns are changing during lifetime
girl! at the end it looked gorgeous! with the new bangs, your curls finally getting their shape, and your gorgeous face it looked absolutely stunning! i hope it just gets better from here, good luck!
Also your hair is looking so pretty now. I love how the waves/curls look around your face. I'm going through a similar hair journey and one thing that has helped so much (but is a little annoying to wear daily) is sleeping in a silk turban. I use the ones from Silke London because they don't require any tying and they're super easy to clean and travel with. Basically you get shinier hair bc the Silk conditions while you sleep and no kinks from hair ties.
She does such a great job ! This video was so well put together
I’ve been trying the curly girl method too lately. And funny enough, the days that I was too lazy, I just wet brush my hair straight and left it the rest of the day and the curls that form those days have been the best!!
Agree! I always brush my hair when I get out of the shower because otherwise it gets knotted and I can’t part it correctly. And I still find that the waves come anyway 🤷🏼♀️ though now that we’re on quarantine and I have nowhere to go, maybe I’ll see what happens if I just leave it and don’t brush it... I think it would be knotty and messy though.
I’ll brush it straight in the shower with conditioner and as I wash out the conditioner I scrunch it a little
Honestly, it must be really annoying having soooooo many people giving you so much advice. But I hope you know that most of them do it out of care for you. Sister code ya know? So please don't take them to heart. Cgm is hella hard to understand and can be quite expensive. Still haven't found my routine yet. So I'm kind of excited to see your progress as well. Great video as always! :)
Your hair is starting to look REALLY good!!! Your hair is starting to get healthy and you can definitely tell, can’t wait to see your process in a couple of months
I have curly hair. I recommend to not put you hair up on a ponytail at night, I recommend to put your hair on one simple braid. Ones you wake up take off the braid and scrunch it up with mouse or gel, I recommend the Volume Pantene mouse. I don’t find gel to help me as much as mouse does and ponytails are definetly a no for me since it pulls the curls from the top and just staightens them out. A braid will keep your curls during the night and won’t get as messy. Try just one braid, I part my hair down the middle and do the braid lose at the top and tighter while going down. And for showering I recommend detangling the hair with your fingers and not with a brush so you won’t pull on the curls straight. And for after showering I recommend to scrunch it up with mouse and not detangaling the hair so much. Pleaseeee try this hopefully it works on your hair, it works perfectly on mine and I love my hair. So please read this comment and take it to consideration. Love your channel 💗
You need to go to a hairstylist that specialises in curly hair they make it look soooooooooo good! And they give you great tips please try it out!
yes it's been on my list for a while ! x
Be careful who you choose...
i just started binging your videos and i can’t believe i got here now that you just posted!! your videos are so in depth and genuinely help loads of people so thank you!💕💕
Very helpful-thanks. I have been doing curly girl method for 2 weeks and was about to give up. You inspire me to keep going.
OMG YOUR HAIR IS LOOKING SOOO MUCH BETTER!!
I highly recommend watching swavy curly Courtney
She’s a godsend for wavy girls and explains the confusing part of cgm
When I have family members with waves I always recommend her!
Also who cares if your call them curls it’s not that deep!
i’ve never related to something as much as this video man i’ve spent all of quarantine trying to figure out a routine for my hair (which kinda looks like yours) and it comes out different every time AAAA
I love how organized and informational this video is.
I’ve been watching all of your journey during the last hour. This is better than Netflix honey. So happy that your hair turned out so great !
Relax, don't demand from your hair to be perfect and when you're not out, try to do some french braids to avoid frizz and to stay confy. Sending you love, you are very nice and don't worry about them too much, they are cute !
Have you tried “plopping”, you do what you’ve been doing but you leave it wet, lay out a shirt, lean over it and plop your hair straight into the shirt. And tie up the shirt. Not a all the familiar with this, never used it, just saw it in a video and thought I would share
Bo brown probably not a good idea with product on since it can create build up .
That can cause tension alopecia.
your hair looks soooo good omg
Girl you are absolutely beautiful. I love your hair, the colour, its naturalness, let it be, embrace it. Since yours first video I saw, your hair has improved so much... It looks healthy, very healthy and shiny.
Your hair has its own soul and you should give it its freedom to be it. Continue on the journey, keep giving it love and care. I love the cut as well, you have mentioned cutting layers, i think you should not do it. It is amazing the way it is.
YESSSS been waiting for an update! the curls suit you so so well, I'm genuinely jealous. and the colour, don't get me started.
growing mine from a bob and taking a lot of advice from your channel, thank you so much for all the effort you put into these.
good luck with your hair! xx
@@IsabellaDemarko aaah thank you hair senpai!
I've been actively avoiding the curly girl hair method 😅
My hair was straight but is slowly moving toward being wavy and I have no idea what to do with it
I've tried crunching without gel but it makes a frizzy mess which confuses me but when I leave it to air dry some parts get wavier than others and just *ugh*
Swaglord69 SAME
i totally get you, transitioning hair is difficult but in my experience it just takes time to adjust, so any new hair care methods need around a month to see any changes x
omg me too, my hair has always been super straight, but lately I get this waves in the front of my head and I don't know where they came from, it has also been super frizzy and my hair has never been frizzy
Try leave ins ^^ it will help to maintain the frizz
@@guadalupetorres the same happened to me!!! I'm asian and my hair used to be really straight and shiny, but from 13-14 my hair was really wavy on the front and a mix of straight and wavy on the back with a little bit of frizz. But now I'm 15 and for some reason it's way more straight and shiny now 🤔
Your hair journey has definitely been a rollercoaster, but I'm so happy you found something that works for you and that makes you happy! 😁
Learning and growing with you in these videos >>>>>>
I recomend hover drying your hair (or something like i forgot how its called )its basically where you lay your diffuser on a table or chair so it blows your way and you gently hold your hair with a tshirt or towl (slowly going up and down like you where going to scrunch it but without scrunching so it doesnt give you frizz) and it just makes my hair look more curly , i recomend looking up videos to see how to properly do it ♥️ btw your hair looked beautifull♥️
YES FINALLY
Been waiting for this vid for what felt like months haha
Oh my gosh I remember watching your hair journey to waist length hair. your hair looks so much more healthier now I’m so happy for you 😁😁
First of your videos I’ve ever seen - so easy and interesting to listen to 👌👌👌
Hey! I’ve been doing the CGM for over a year and I definitely recommend putting all your styling products in your hair IN the shower while your hair is still dripping wet, brush those styling products through for distribution, THEN scrunching with your microfiber towel! It helps the curls/waves clump together more and stay smooth and shaped well. Styling products usually don’t perform as well when put on damp waves or curls compared to wet, I’ve noticed over the years.
These videos have helped me so much thank you!
I feel your pain. I have wavy hair as well and just started the curly girl method. I am still in the experimenting phase...trying different products to see what works the best. I thought this was the best time to do this as well. I live in Texas and we were sheltering in place so I thought, why not! Keep posting, I am glad someone else is at a similar point as I am. Thanks a bunch!
Don't give up!You got it!
A thing about curly hair: because we use so many products, you also need to clarify more often. I clarify every 3 washes, sometimes 4 if I'm feeling lucky. So maybe try clarifying more often!!
Bruh she reminds me of Alyssa from ‘The End of the F***ing World’ ♡︎♥︎
my hair is exactly the same as yours so im so glad i found your channel! i appreciate your honesty and showing that everyday can be drastically different! its so hard to find ppl with wavy hair, everyone is curly or says there wavy but compared to my 2bish hair theyre curly and nothing really works for me the same as if would theres!
cant wait to see how you’re hair looks as you keep going with this! i found my waves bounced up a bit when i layered my hair more so maybe consider that? ive been on the curly hair journey since july last year now and ive definitely noticed a Big difference but theres days it can go basically straight the day after wash day so dont get discouraged, just part of the process! good luck!!
Your editing is amazing. I did not expect this at all. Nice work!
Love this video isabela!❤ I started the method three months ago and I can tell you it gets better with time, the first month is always frustrating. I find that is better for me to comb and scrunch my hair normally first and just then doing it upside down, that way your roots dont get weird. Also putting a tiny little bit of cream on the roots to prevent frizz. You can try making FLAXSEED GEL, its very easy to make, 10 minutes and its done, its natural and very light so i think it will go well with your hair type. Good luck!
Heres something that works for me while my hair is wet:
Section ur hair into 2 sections
Then twist each of the sections
And after that put them into a low bun each!!
And when its dry completely u can remove the buns and u will have nice curls
Btw my hair is tall and it still works
And one more thing, its hard for ur hair to dry while its in the buns so if u remove ur buns while its a bit wet its fine u’ll still have nice curls
I literally am struggling with my hair just as much as you are! I'm with you girlieeeee
I'm so inspired to try this method now, you are the first person I've ever seen with the exact same hair colour and texture as mine. I always get fed up and tie it up in a ponytail so I don't have to deal with it, but now I think I might try this and see if I can get the curls/waves back. If you get those really dry ends like your before photo I've found that putting some argan oil in my hands then either combing my fingers through when my hair is wet or putting it on my hands when I scrunch the ends is the best way to make my hair hold the hydration and not turn to straw.
You are too harsh on yourself, i think your hair looks perfectly fine most of the time. I understand the struggle of it not looking how you want, though
Idk how, but I feel like I’m always near/close when you post! Edit: Usually I’m never awake around this time but today I just happen to be!
Ahh thank you for this video. It's refreshing to see someone with a similar curl pattern trying to work out how to best work their hair! I don't think I ever will follow the CGM since 1) it looks wayyy too 'moisturised' on the hair to do in a tropical country and 2) it also looks like it weighs down the hair too much for our curl pattern. But it's awesome to see that it is working out for you and that your hair is looking shinier! Hopefully you'll keep getting good results - but also I reckon you'll need to clarify your hair every so often to remove the product buildup.
Hello girl! I'm so glad I came across this video. For a while now my hair made me sad :( After I decided to grow out of the pixie I used to have, I've been unable to get back the curls I had before. I felt like my shapeless hair didn't really represent me, I've never been so insecure about a part of my body as I've been about my hair. I've just leant that hair can be classified and I have just started a routine for my 2b curls, and seeing you being happy about hair you used to hate gives me so much hope 😊thank youuuu
Can men use the curly girl method ... just planning for the future of no hair cuts
Of course they can! Why shouldn't they?
absolutely! infact there's a section in the curly girl handbook for men's hair! x
@@dianas7429 it's not that hard to imagine when they gave it such a stupid name as curly GIRL method when it's just about hair.
