Some of my personal tips (I've been transitioning for 6 months now):
1 - After each wash day, write down the products you used and the technique you've used and then rate your hair for reference. Trust me, this will be so helpful as you learn about your hair especially if you're a bit forgetful.
2 - Take a lot of photos. Maybe 2 a month to track your progress. I only realized how far I've gotten when I saw what my hair looked like in the first month. (my hair was shit, but back then I thought my curls were poppin.)
3 - don't fuss too much about the hair type chart. Your curls will transform from month to month. Wait a bit before categorizing your curls. I know when I first started, I thought I was a 2b but now I'm a good 3a.
So if my shit hair is 3a rn what will it be in 6m ? My dad has rc hair in the the from and 3a-3b in the back of his head also ive been straightening my hair for most of my teen years maybe lile 7 8 yrs
I’m about 3 months in and I started with 2a/2b hair and now it’s closer to 2c I think
I'm transitioning since over 6 months and I made just a little bit of progress and it's annoying me 😑😑
i love that you're embracing your curls! Starting our curly hair journey is def not easy but it's so worth it!!!!
"watch youtubers similar to ur hair type!!"
me, with straight-ass dead hair watching this for no reason: 👁👄👁
Fun little tip for sleeping on your hair: I prefer to buy second hand so I just got a silk/satin scarf from goodwill for like $1 that was big enough to wrap around the majority of my pillow for when I go to sleep! It also lets me keep my sleeping pillow matching with the rest of my bed :)
yes, great tip!
Yess I do that, I don’t have a silk pillow case but I do have a scarf so I just wrap it around my pillow:)
Yesss sustainability first!!!
I love this!!
the part about finding curly youtubers was so incredibly important for me. and YOU WERE THE ONE THAT REALLY HELPED ME!!!! tons of love
AWHH
Why is your curl type
Can you recommend me some?
After watching this video I decided I WILL TAKE CARE OF MY HAIR INSTED OF JUST BRAIDING INTO 2 AND LEAVING IT ALONE FOR WEEKS I PROMISE I WONT DO THAT AGAIN I WILL START TO TAKE CARE OF MY HAIR (ahhhh I’m nervous but also proud of myself)
It’s been 6 months since you commented this… how is your hair doing now?
How's ya hair?
"no dyes, no bleach"
me: *wanting my curly hair back, but also wanting to bleach it*
Check out Manes by Mell. She's got a video on how to maintain bleached curly hair. Believe it or not, you can have both
FRRR THOOOOO!!! I HAVE NATURAL 3A AND SOME KINKY ONES AND I CANT STOP DYING IIITTTT
The ‘frizzy poofy hair’ to ‘big voluminous curls’ troupe is immaculate
Legit went through the exact same thing, started my curly h hair journey last year, happy and healthy curls now :))) it's so.nice to see good curly hair influencers who promote healthy hair, when I was 12-14 straights was the only "pretty" hair
this video could not come at better timing! i’ve really been researching and trying to understand how to take care of my hair and really needed a starter guide 😭
I was literally just about to give up on my hair journey and you upload this ;)) aaah thank you! Can’t wait to watch
i just found ur channel trying to find ways of taking care of my curly hair bc i remember it being so nice & now it’s really frizzy & i could never get it to be nice & im honestly inspired & very excited to start my journey thank you so much.
I just did a big chop last month and I can’t wait for my journey 🤩
yooo the last part is sooo true! life really does change the moment you learn to love your hair!💖
You have no idea how long I been waiting for this video! Thank u, I haved no idea how to start doing my curly hair journey. :) thank u so much, I love your content :) ❤️
Probably the most helpful curly hair video I've watched and I havent been doing this for long but my hair already looks soooo much better and healthier
this channel is like a paceful, secure and magical place omg
I have been on my curly journey since the beginning of January and I FINALLY just got some layers added into my hair!
crying at how good of a person u are
I just want to tell you that I absolutely love watching your videos❤ i could watch them all day! Especially your curly hair videos😊
thank you! in school i used to straighten my hair every day and for the last few months i’ve just been leaving my hair so it was just wavy, i used these tips and after 2 days my curls are so much healthier and prominent
Yes girl. Cutting hair def makes a difference! Just subscribed :)
Hiii, I like your videos so much, I start seeing you for a months ago and now I can take so much better of my curls (they are like yourss). Thank u so much!!
this made me so happy love u girly
Absolutely love your vids!! Can you make a video on diffusing vs airdrying pros and cons ..... Always love you and your vids😁
Sanju yess!
You are so beautiful Gigi!!! We love you!!:)
Your hair really looks amazing, I’ve been trying out your routine and the way you style your hair and my hair is starting to look more curly and voluminous! Thank you! 💛 I haven’t tried the products your recommend but I probably will, the only thing is that my curls are not forming from the scalp, for some reason mine are like straight and then curly from half of my hair to the bottom...
Mine do that too! Make sure to not apply products to ur roots and use lightweight products!
I love your curls! Thanks for your videos!
just started my curly hair journey, im dreading the big chop but at the same time i want to welcome it, my bangs are SO curly but the rest of my hair is just wavy/straight. the damage is crazy and i definitely need to just let it go, my hair will definitely grow back anyway
I love your current haircut! it would be so awesome if you could do a video about that c:
Just started my curly hair journey, really nervous but everyone in the comments make me hopeful :)
Ugh, but my hair’s so damaged that it’s just a ball of random frizz and I really cannot tell what my curl pattern is 🤠💔
i needed this video, thanks so much!
I’m have literally never this early!🤪😁🌈
just cut 10+ inches off to start my journey 😁
you know what i should probably do the same, there is no reason for me to keep damaged hair 😭
@@chrysalism7375 I regret it now but it needed to be done. Really miss my long hair. My curls never came thru like I wanted them to, they looked better long :/
@@betty-nugz damn, im sorry your hair didn't come out the way you wanted. i hope you find a hairstyle or something you like and suits you :) Give your hair some more time. You never know, they might come thru even more when they get longer.
I cut my hairr really short so im starting to take care of my hair. Good luck to me
This vid it’s really helpful THANK YOU !
I have straight hair but i watched this anyway cos i love your videos 😂😂💖
I straightened my hair a lot and then I realized how bad it was so I stopped and all I need to do to get my curly hair now is to cut it. I’m scared but I miss my curls.
Me too :( I'm working on getting it back starting today I miss not having to straighten it all the time and how pretty it was.
Me too andd l cut my hair yesterday. I m doing hair care to my hair. I was curly when I was a child so i think I can do it!!!
@@cerenn9347 wym go bald!????
@@lizbethgomez6790 I didn't understand u😣
@@lizbethgomez6790 what is it "wym" ?
this is so helpful!!!!! thank you
I just had my big chop yesterday so for any of you who took a long time and big effort to grow your hair trust me i feel you!! At first when I knew that there was no other solution than to chop off the heat damaged and split ended hair i felt like crying bcuz i felt like all that effort in the past few years was gonna go away ... but then I decided to cut of 5 cm ( like two weeks ago) as a start and yesterday when I decided to cut it again . I planned to only cut off 4 or 5 cm off my hair only then do the same after two or three weeks but as soon as I started i was like you know what im gonna cut 8 cm and so i did and i braided my hair and put on a hair mask to deep condition and when I opened the braids the next day i was like okay maybe i cut off a bit to much but im gonna see how it looks after and when I finished washing my hair and everything the ends just looked... the best way it had ever been ... it looked healthy and didn’t have any split ends ... and thats when i know its worth it and now as I finish focusing on the healthy and the strength of my hair i would start focusing on the length and definition.. to achieve the curls of my dream!!... so to anyone out there afraid off having their big chop trust me it’ll be totally worth and someday you’ll have your dream curls!!! Hope I inspired someone.. stay safe you all!! 💗💗💗
Knew** ( sorry excuse my typos)
You can use a blow dryer with a diffuser. Turn the heat down 💓 your hair likely will dry super frizzy, especially at the beginning of your journey, if you don’t. Diffusing helps cut down on frizz
do you have any tips to deal with humidity? i started my curly hair journey in february and didn’t have a problem w it but now that it’s summer, i’m not sure what to do. thank you!!!
A strong hold gel and some oils will be your bff!! Thé ouidad humidity control gel is amaizng
I have this problem, when i visit my grandparents they live in another city an dthe humidity is really low my curls look strange and even the way my hair feels l'm pretty sure it's the humidity cuz where i live it's 68% but where my grandparents live it's ONLY 1% a HUGE difference
So glad i found someone has the hair type as me but i’ve been neglecting doing my hair and i didn’t realized how bad it was till i felt my hair feeling weighed down stringy and nots ugh plz leave advice tyyyy
On I always straighten my hair when I was younger it's all dead and weird ish straight but I have 2 curls on the side of the front of my hair I wanna prepare it so bad! But I'm so motivated to get it back! Thanks for ur video!
Curly team here 🙋🏻♀️
I love U so much😭❤️
I spent my whole life not knowing how to take care of my hair and now I’ve decided to better myself and my hair is one of my top priorities to fix
Yessss girly girl get it
Thank you for this lol. My hair is so damaged over the years because my mother didnt knew how to take care of curls (brushed it wrong, washed it wrong, styled it wrong) but now i am trying to heal my hair, i just have to get to know how xd.
thanks so much for the advice where i come from to free your hair isnt right it neeeds to be braided so thankyou i love my hair more now ilysm
What shampoo and conditioner would you recommend I’m struggling to find one 🥺
ok i really want to do this but i straighten my hair so much because right now cuz i feel like that’s the only way my hair looks semi decent. like i depend on my straightener so much lmao.
I love my curls, always have! The thing is the outer layer of my hair is straight and damaged because of my cotton pillow. So I now am getting silk pillow cases and sheets so I can finally have some protection. Just need to get my hair back though.
My hairs the same way
you are so beautiful
i do want to get my curls back but i really can’t cut my hair, it’s just because i cut my hair before and looked really bad and had a whole horrible stage of my life and i feel like cutting off my hair somehow connects to that. idk i just really dont feel like feeling insecure again and having to go to school like that. i still don’t think my hair length is the best but its a lot better than it used to be. basically what im saying is that i look really bad with short hair and really don’t wanna do it again.
I just found you account I have 3a/b hair and I support the BLM movement I love your account
Can you Make a video about your products of curly hair .💖 iam waiting for you💕😬
omg i love your videos 💕 and thank you for mentioning blm ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Hey girl! How do you edit ur videos?? I’m trying to start a channel, but my videos always upload blurry and yours look so cute & clear! Thanks 🧚🏼
I just fcked my curls when I cut it Nd was using damaging products , I got my curls again a yr later by trying to take care of it as much as possible. I cut my hair again Nd used some damaging products that messed it up again , I’m going to start my curly hair journey properly and get the curls I used to have when I was younger!
How do you cut your hair now? I like your shape!
I have wavy hair, it’s really wavy and I see some ringlets when it’s wet abut when it dries it turns straight but I don’t get it because I don’t straighten my hair ever and I don’t think it’s damaged. Do I still have a chance?
is it just me that when I brush my hair small sections of my hair break off so towards the ends I have less hair and that makes my hair damaged and ugly at the back obviously. Ik i should stop brushing my hair and just cut my hair but my mum wouldnt let me cz she thinks its gonna get worse it i cut and it will get even shorther by breaking off??
My mom always cut my hair short because it would get so tangled and frizzy..then as a teen I'd straighten it and bleach all the time...but I heard about the curly hair method and remembered my mom saying I had a few ringlets in the back of my hair... so I tried and I'm pretty sure it's curly hair..
Okay, so when I was younger like around, 4 or 5 I used to have like 3a-3b ish curls and I used to like pull the curls and try to flatten them with water and I would blow dry my hair every time I washed it. Now it is like a weird wave shape, sometimes when I put my hair up the hair by my ears does go into ringlets and some by the top of my head, as well as around the bottom. I do dye my hair, but not that often and i always go to a professional when getting it done. If I finger coil my hair they do go into ringlets but idk if everyone’s hair does that, MY mom is always talking about the beautiful curls I had when I was young and I have seen pictures as well, and I just wanted some help as to what I should do to help with finding what my hair type is and as to what I should do to get the curls I had when I was young back. Any help is appreciated so if you do take the time to reply and help is very much appreciated.
Everyone round me used to straighten their hair everyday so u guess I felt insecure and started straightening my hair everyday and now I’m like why would I pick straight hair over curly hair 😔😐 so my curls are damaged
For me I have never used heat (I have only used it like 15 times) my hair is just long. Also, when I have used any oils on my hair I get dandruff (I may just have a dry scalp) what should I do? I used to have when I was younger super curly hair and I would love to have it again. Thank you for your time :)
I have 2a/2b hair rn bc I ruined it from not treating it as curly hair for the last 8 years. I'm pretty sure if I start trying to take better care of it I'll end up with much curlier hair (not as curly as yours tho).
Edit: I'm watching this and I'm like now I have a way to convince my mom to let me chop my hair off bc she won't let me and my dysphoria like 👁👄👁
I didn’t even know I Had curly hair my mom straightened my hair everyday bc all the other girls did and I thought it was pretty majority of my life I never seen curly hair until I stopped straightening bc my hair was past my but and it was to hard . I used grainier cream to make it smell good and I just started have curls in the front . My hair was stuck to my head like I had zero volume it was on my scalp 😂 I learned how to take care of it but was doing it the wrong way . NOW I learned I’m going really short and using Shea moisture jbco to restore my curls and mask hopefully I get something back
Awe hi Gigi!! I am such a fan, you are so beautiful and sweet, such a role model :) I am a ballerina, and I was wondering how to take care of my curly hair, because we have to pull our hair back in really tight buns and also brush out our hair...its a disaster...do you have any idea on how to deal with this??
sameee I do theatre and we have to brush our hair and use heat and put it back and stuff it is also a disaster
Francina Fedele sans for my school we have to brush it out and put it really sleek and tight
i don't know if they specify you need to style it dry, but styling it wet is a LOT easier and a lot less damaging, specifically using a brush like a denman brush or a wet brush! it also means that you'll have lovely full bodied waves after you take the bun out! also if you have to use a hairspray use one that says it's better for the enviroment as it tends to have better ingredients for your hair, but still are strong! ALSO, one last thing, if you have to take out the bun and put it back in, if your hair is now dry you'll have waves that act as a guide to re twist it into a bun (if you do twist it into a bun if you do another way this won't help) this'll make it a lot easier and you'll just need to slick it back, but if you have a good product to slick it back, such as a gel, (PLEASE a no flake gel, if the gel flakes it can look really bad and it can cause build up) your hair should still be healthy! i hope these help!
@@sagee.248 I know right!!
@@elanor8909 Thanks so much for the tips!!
Your curls are exactly like mine!! What would you say your curl type is?? 2C/3a??
I'm on a journey to recover my 2 daughters curly hair. Me being the only person in both my parents family to have straight hair was never a problem. But the curls were passed down to my kids. Their dad and his family have curly hair. I don't know how to care for it.
💛
I used to have the best curls I then bleached my hair and they were still there. But then I added red splat to it and my beautiful curly hair was gone:/ I recently chopped my hair and I’m ready to start.
i've been straightening my hair and i'm planning to stop. i want to take care of my hair and bring back my curly hair :(
what haircuts do you recommend to help give added volume? :)
シシ obvi I’m not Gigi, but layers help a lot! I cut layers a few months ago, and it has really helped with volume
where do u get those little shea moisture patch tests from?
do you have any tips for hairstyles/ updos that wont ruin your fresh curls?? i have to wear my hair up at work and at this point i dont even style my curls bc they just get ruined so quickly when i put it up in a ponytail )):
Try with gel, when I started using gels my curls started to last sooooo much longer
i have a question what is the hair cut you asked for ?
When i was young in england my hair was thicc af and curly, but when i moved to france it became s0o0o thin like'-
So then in france my hair was straight and thin. But now my hair got volume again and is healthiish.
When it rains the shortest bits of my hair gets curly but only like 5 strands. But still cant be called curly at all XD
Do anyone know what should i do? (Btw i dont use heat at all)
when i was very young i had curly hair but I didn't know how to take care of it
so my hair was all messed and I used to comb my hair but that made it frizzy
then i was fed up so i shaved it off and now my hair is straight (still frizzy) and i don't know how to make it curl back
and now i'm a bit pissed
Would i have to cut all my hair off if i don't and haven't used heat at all?
this is how my hair looked when i was a baby and to like the 6th grade but then i started straightening it until i killed my hair
I dont wash my hair everyday but when i do wash my hair is curly but i have to untangle my hair and my hair gets completely messed up should i just not untangle😭
I 💖 u
Old intro yay 💃💃😍
my mom doesnt let me cut my hair and i feel like a trim would realky help my hair
I literally refuse to cut my hair idk what to do
Do you know how I can make my hair grow faster and longer? If u do pls send me the tutorial :(
Gurl what is the song that you use for your intro?? I love it
la vie en rose!! :>
Watching this 2 months after a buzzcut with no hair 😂 but I’ll be ready 😎 just cut it off if needed, wear cute wigs when you’re wanting some oomf
What do you do when the bottom of your hair is 3a but your roots are like 2a??
i have that too haha
your voice is a mix between azula and vanessa hudgens i love it
“Don’t dye your hair or bleach it”
my gen z bi ass: 👁👄👁
This is how my hair used to look… I can’t look at myself in the mirror anymore 😭 I cut it boy short- I feel so insecure I look ugly :(
I recently began my journey in November I am 2a-2c and 2c is on a good day. I cut my hair in November and it started being wavy and frizzy. I just really need help sometimes it waves and sometimes it doesn’t. Also my hair became super thick so the waves barely stay in but I need help if anyone with 2a-c hair could help me that would be great!
Hi! I have a 2c texture on half my hair and a 2b texture on the other half of my hair!! If some pieces wave and some don’t that’s just your natural hair texture! Some tips that have helped me. I use a cream and a gel, I think gel is the most helpful product for wavy hair. I couldn’t go without it. My favorite is LA looks. Some techniques that have helped me are brushing my hair strictly in the shower and scrunching my hair out of the shower (no raking or pulling your hair down in any way). Then plop for 20 minutes and let it air dry. It is a life saver! If I don’t do those things my hair doesn’t turn out well
Sofia Rae thank you so much!!!
try layers maybe? i heard it brings out the waves
@Sachi Sunkari thank you! I might try them!
Do you watch india batson ? She has a curl pattern more similar to yours lile beachy pretty waves (:
Me rn with the bleach ( highlights ) oops 😂. But I been doing is the slicking my hair and some how my curls are gone like how tf
u are so beautiful and sweet :(
Am I the only one who has straight and thicc hair in the back and thin and curly hair at the front,,,😭
What if ur hair has already been bleached recently and u wanna go naturally curly?
Hair masks and oil, gotta revive the curls
