This week we are swapping hair routines. I might learn something that like unleashes a curly power I didn't have. I think that you're just gon na be really disappointed in me, so I only shampoo once a week. So, every time I take a shower, I'm getting my hair wet, basically conditioner. I usually will rinse it out pretty much till it's almost completely gone and you just like put your head under the shower faucet right, yeah. Okay, what do you do like? Take it off and no I'll have to explain. I flip my head upside down over the tub and then I scrunch scrunch scrunch, getting like all the layers underneath couple more pumps and just kind of do the top layers. I don't like towel it dry and I just kind of like walk around the morning until it stops being so wet. Are you ready yeah? So I have two pieces of paper here. What okay? So everything is done upside down everything. As far as conditioner goes, you get a shit-ton. A conditioner from the test is still upside down, you're still upside down cup water. In your hand, why me, with lots of gel later, in the day you're gon na, do what's called breaking the gel? So what you do I'm standing up for this? You have to be gentle, otherwise you're gon na create frizz, so you're, just like get you wiggle. Your fingers in there and we're like wiggling up toward the scalp. I just want to not look crazy. Now it doesn't look wet all of a sudden and it grew three times the size good use diffuser on medium heat. I don't like no dry. I will get you one okay on days when I'm not washing, i water it like a plant. I also sleep with a silk pillowcase. It sounds like a lot, but it's not. I think your hair is gon na look worse. I passed this to you, so this is the morning when I would normally shower but not get my hair wet. I would just spray it with my bottle because I'm getting in the shower, I guess that means I have to get my whole freakin head way. I'M just woken up and do a bunch of stuff to my hair. Megan has a lot of steps, so I have two pieces of paper here. Washing my hair and not upside down was one thing and now gelling my hair. I don't know how this is gon na turn out. It smells delicious though alright, so I just finished, Megan's routine and I got ta say I did not care for it. Your head has to be upside down for so long. I haven't let my hair dry like this in years, I'm just full of drips. I feel like the gel just did not reach the top of my hair Megan. It feels like 70 degrees outside which is not that cold, but it's cold enough that I don't want to walk around with really wet hair when it's 70 degrees out here it is all dry and, as you can tell, there's definitely like it's kind of undefined and Then more defined towards the bottom, which is what I thought was gon na happen. I definitely, though, like the way the defined curls are looking they're. Looking pretty good, it's very soft, so it's the end of the day and my hair is frizzy err than normal. It'S a good thing that I have Meghan's trusty: silk, pillowcase cotton out of here: lovely silk! Pillowcase! I slept on the silk pillowcase last night. I got ta say my hair isn't as poofy as I'm. Normally what is so. My hair - I guess just like - has to look like a mess today, because Sarah doesn't do anything good that helps her hair on the days that she doesn't get. It wet. Megan told me on days that she, where she uses a spray, bottle, that's mix of conditioner and water, to kind of give it a little judge. It smells good. So here's the problem when I conditioned my hair like Sarah in the shower, I didn't get the top or the front, and so the curls have no idea what they're doing like they're confused. That'S confused! I'M confused! I didn't shampoo it at ages. Did the conditioner in the gel? It'S definitely looking a little bit better. However, this takes me about twice as long in the shower. I am going to put into effect something that Sarah prescribed for frizz the frizz be gone, you'll see if this makes a difference, and it also gets just like tons of stuff in my eyes, cuz, I'm upside down the whole time. Well, now that that fixed all of my problems just kidding I'm putting on a headband, I don't have a blow-dry. I will get you one. I don't think my curls have ever stayed looking so defined. The curls are looking pretty good, pretty well-defined. I just need to get that volume back on top well, it's the afternoon now and I have followed Megan's hair procedure today, which means it's time to fluff it up, I'm crunching and fluffing. I think that if I merged my upside down Miss with her keeping the water in, we might have a match made in heaven. I think I just need to lessen the amount of gel that I'm putting in my hair cuz. It feels so greasy and gross, but I have to say I did get a lot of compliments on my curls today. A lot of people said they were looking very defined, very bouncy. How do you only shampoo once a week when there is so much stuff in your hair? I feel so like dirty to put enough gel in my hair to get to the point that it's crunchy that's a lot of prime. I never said make it crunchy yeah. You know you don't see, use Marshall, I think it's fine I'll use that okay you're buying it people have said my hair looks the same. Your hair looks very different yeah. You know what I do really like the vid diffuser, because it like lets me not be your curls. Do look really good right. You just need some volume, we're learning things really good we're experiencing. It was fun that for a week seeing the way that another curly person does their hair, just we kind of just confirmed that I know my hair and I know what I'm doing with it.
Comments
Joelle Johnson: Megan today is losing her hair because of her chemo, which is such a shame. I wish her the best❤️
nadia gerics: When they switched routines both of their hair looked so much better.
Hailey Alcaraz: Why is it that whenever they make a video like this involving Megan they always skip through her routine??? I NEED HER CURLY SECRETS
citlali roman: I don’t have curly hair but still always click on videos about curly hair
sundancer: Megans routine definitely shows! Her curls are gorgeous!
Patrizia Elise Ibalio-Nostratis: Where my "half straight half curly" haired girls out there? Siigghhh* No hair routine makes this confused hair type any better.
Corga: Megan looked better with Sarah's routine
Scarisa: Sara's hair looks amazing by the end of the experiment, her curls look beautiful, bouncy and defined. She should definitely carry on with some of Megan's routine.
Miranda Pena: Literally curly haired people (me) are always looking to try new products/routines to help define curls or what works for them I've been trying to fine the right products/routine for 20 years now
kenzkoverz: I need Megan to make a whole video on curly hair bc my hair needs her tips and routine
Nibor: I wish I had their curls! My hair is naturally wavy, but no one taught me what to do with it so I've kept it straight for the longest time. Trying to get my old hair back now, and I'm watching so many of these videos
Hey_im_shanae: Did Megan literally say 70 degrees was cold
Cecy Martinez: I really appreciate the curly videos, I just recently started wearing my natural curly hair and it’s nice to see what different routines other curly haired people have!
Sonia Daniela: Definitly gonna try to implememt Megan's routine into my nonexistent routine because her curls are the bomb! I would like to see Megan explaining her routine
Popculturehero11: As someone with curly hair, I’d love a print out of the 1000 step hair routine cause it seems to work, Megan’s curls are so pretty.
madilynn: Megan [in cali] : like its 70 degrees so it cold enough to not wanna walk around with wet hair Me [in ny]: OH MAH GAWD ITS 70 DEGREES IM GONNA GET SUNBURNT IN THIS HEAT
Jules: LOVED this video. Thank you for highlighting curly hair routines, something you don’t see that often!
skrittle: megan literally does exactly what i do when i wear my hair curly haha. also silk pillowcases are life.
Jason Copper: Can Megan leak her full hair care routine + products she uses because I’m trying to have as healthy looking and bouncy curls as she does
Qt3.14: Megan definitely does the curly girl method!
Mercedes Angel Elzbieta: I love how both can learn from eachothers' routines :)
Winnie the Pooh: I thought my hair was hard to handle and it’s naturally VERY straight, but it’s kinda cool cause my friends and I will be doing out hair together and they will all be straightening their hair and I’m already onto makeup
M I A B R E W E R: Yesss. I love these videos so much because growing up I never knew what to do with my hair. My mum had straight hair and so she never knew how to take care of my hair either. This resulted in years of damaging my hair and not even realising it. I’ve been trying to help my hair get back to it’s bouncy curls, but it’s hard to figure it out on my own. If anyone has any tips, it would be really helpful x. ♥️
MissJess0004: i feel like a lot of people will feel like Megan's routine is really extravagant but any black girl will feel like it's pretty average like Yasss Megan CAN relate to this "it seems long but its not" sentiment
Adar Eliezer: I'm so happy you guys created this video (kinda sad I've never seen it though) I absolutely love Megan's routine and I can't wait to try it
Daemon_Razgriz: So glad Megan uses the curly girl method! I've been doing it for the past few years and my hair looks so much healthier now.
Mo Moe: I like Megan's curls on Sarah's routine. I think her hair looks so full and lovely!
Marisa H: Megan's hair looks so much nicer with the switch in routine! My routine is pretty much the same as Sarah's. Haha.
Coral Victoria: To be fair, they had different hair lengths, which means shorter hair will feel nastier faster with a lot of product in it.
I Like Cats But I'm Allergic To Them: Straight hair is sooooo easy to manage. I know because I relaxed my hair while back. Yeah literally all you have to do is brush. Then your hair will be neat and perfect. Even AFTER a windy day, just brush it and it’ll be back to normal. CURLY hair on the other hand needs more maintaining and you have to be really careful with it. My hair grew out and now it’s back to curly. I love it though now, like the volume
Sarai: I love this video, can you both do more curly hair videos I feel like I'm a dead on mix of both of you two in terms of hair texture lol I'm open to tips!
Marie-Lynn Issa: My hair routine is pretty similar to Meghan's (really fun routine and definitely not complicated once you get used to it). I learned most of it on the internet thanks to so many youtubers. Before this, I was a walking ball of thick frizzy hair.
The Kels: Please make more videos like this! I love it!
Asha Hassan: Megan might not be a black girl but she's definitely got the hair routine of one.
SuzanGV: Yaaass, curly haired girl here! I love these videos about curled hair because I'm still learning so much about how to treat mine better ^^
melopsicodelia: I've never been a fan of curly bangs but she looks so beautiful. And the girl with the pink hair should be incredibly happy because her hair looked terrible at the beginning, and so good after.
Jessica Farris-Hunter: Could Megan give us a full tutorial on how she does stuff? Like products and tips, a complete run through because I want my hair to look like that <3
Machin: so happy to see all those positive comments about megan's hair and routine bc she said in the past that she felt very self conscious about it and i think she needs that kind of positivity!
Akemi Land: i have curly hair & i want an in depth tutorial of meg’s hair routine!!!
Aida S: *Being a curly girl this was a really helpful video*
AC: Please do more of these!!! They are fun to watch lol I have straight hair so don’t know half the crap people do for curly hair lol. FYI my sisters niece on my brother in laws side went from straight hair to curly hair after puberty and poor thing!! The Mom doesn’t know what to do with it. Omg...
elle eden: Up until a few months ago, I was so, so insecure about my curly hair because I was so uneducated! Then my sister taught me how to take care of it and I've never loved it more!
leah hammondsx: Can we appreciate how beautiful Megan’s curls are with the natural hair colour
Roseangelie Figueroa: Their hair looked better when they swaped hair routines lol
isa: I NEED MEGANS FULL HAIR ROUTINE CAUSE MY HAIR LOOKS ROUGH & im tryna have my curls lookin as defined as hers !!
crstl89: Megan has amazing hair. I’m in love with all those curls
shelly: megan has beautiful curls!! i wish my hair was like hers instead of the weird wavy/frizzy combo it is :/
Noodles4Anime: To me, it looks like Megan's routine causes more weighed down, but shiny hair (probably the gel and Sarah's gives more voluminous hair (though it made Megan's hair just a little frizzier).
AmberSmith: Both these girls have such beautiful curls. I wish mine would go like this
Maddie Tillem: I'd LOVE to see Sarah's full routine!
Devan Zane: As a girl with curly hair, can I get a list of what Megan does with her hair??
Sparkling Silver Curls: I always airdry, and if I can do it in Cleveland winters, you can do it in LA winters. However, I must say, when my curls freeze in the frigid temps, they look FABULOUS once they dry! There is zero frizz and they are extremely well defined!
Minichomp: I tried a little mixture of megans and saras hair routines and my curls have never looks better! I lost alot of my curly texture due to heat and just not taking care properly and I'm so happy after seeing this!
oxoxosteph: Okay Megan might do a lot of steps but honestly her curls look soooooo good from all of those steps. lol
Stephanie Rowe: this is so cool to see because I also have curly hair. they are both so pretty and I will definitely use their techniques
itsmeekay j: They should do this again but one with looser curls and one with tighter ones
Jolina Ochoa: Me as a curly haired girl i love this video!! i might just try it!! thank you for this!!
Quinci O'Brien: As a curly haired person this Is so helpful I love it
Jezabel-in-Hell: I'm obsessed with Sara's hair! Keep doin' you, Sara.
Bridey Sanchez: The amount of different routines for curly haired people is so interesting
Karen Adkins: Thank you for doing many more videos about curly hair :)
sleepygirl: I understand Megan. 20°C would be too cold for me to go out with wet hair too. and I think her own hair routine made her hair look full on top and healthy and the curls were frizzfree and beautifully defined
w1tchy w0mann: This week confirmed that curly hair is amazingly beautiful regardless of upside down vs right side up conditioning Jealous lmao
Madison Lewis-Bennett: I would like to see a straight haired person and a curly hair person swap routines for a week. Sarah would love mine.
Ksunsetave: Megan's hair car routine is my hair care routine and I'm a black girl with natural hair. . .I feel seen. You can tell that Megan puts a lot of effort into her hair and it looks amazing.
Περσεφόνη: My routine is (in the shower): 1) shampoo 3 times a week, 2) divide my hair into 4 sections, 3) cover the first section with conditioner and detangle completely, using water when I need to 4) repeat with the rest of the sections, 5) part my hair to the side, 6) get out of the shower and squeeze most of the water out and do one quick comb-through with a bit of added conditioner 7) towel dry the ends if they drip. I sleep on a silk pillowcase as well. The conditioner I use is an all natural one made with mostly slippery elm and water. I have 3b, VERY thick and pretty long hair, and my hair has never been softer and more manageable since I started doing this a few years ago!!
tuyiorla: Why do people always complain when they get Megan's routine? They're always like "it's too much" ... my hair routine is very similar to hers. She's using the cg method, and her hair is gorgeous. She has to make a video explaining why she does it, I'm tired of other people criticizing her or calling her vain, she's just doing what's best for her hair
toby juliana: I can tell Megan's passion must be her hair so she has a lot of effort in them ^^
Small. Fry: I relate to Megan. My hair is soooo curly and I spend like 1 hour in the morning just to tame my hair
laurel: I've been waiting for someone to do a curly video like this with people that have similar curl type tbh
Jordy C: I've had people with straight hair tell me "curly hair doesn't need anything different than I do" and I just list off my very extensive routine
aph: i used to wash my hair like Sarah does (but without the gel) but i watched Buzzfeed's previous hair routine swap and iv'e been washing it more like Morgan since then (i air dry tho)
Food 4 Life: Only shampoo once a week?! WOW! The maximum I can go without washing my hair is 2 days even in the cold season...
Illianora: They're totally missing out on Plopping! Use an old tshirt (make sure its cotton!) and light dab/scrunch your hair so its not soaking wet (this is after you've applied your leave in and gel). Turn it inside out slightly (or get another old cotton tshirt if you dont mind using 2) and making a head turban thing. Just use that for maybe 20 minutes or so and _then_ let it air dry. Lets your curls define and stay in shape just a little bit longer before you let them down.
Ebony B: Can they both make a video on their routines because I have curly hair and I'd love to be able to be able to do their routines
Hennesey Jauregui: Megan has deva curl stuff i love that stuff and also people might say that her routine is extreme but for girls with curly hair (me as well ) it is a lot of work to keep them defined and intact even though we all have bad hair days curly hair is worth it
Rachel Frumkin: I remember when Megan did this with a person with straight hair or something. It was extensive then. I feel like it actually has calmed down.
Sisima13: Megan’s hair is gorgeous
ginger bitch: OKAY i started washing my hair upside down like a year ago and it makes a HUGE difference i didn’t think it would but it really really does. curly hair people please at least give it a try
Hey there: Someone needs to teach Sara here the curly girl method
jackie: Megan’s hair is beautiful so it makes sense her routine is a lot
faureamour: Can Megan and Daysha or Freddie switch routines? I'd be really into seeing the switch of those curly routines!
Matyme: Both their hair looks great and their own routine worked fine for their hair.
ROBERT: Curly hair looks amazing
Savanna Violets: i wish i had naturally curly hair, it’s so cute
Aunadine Phanbuh: PLEASE GIVE US THE PROCEDURE DETAILS OF BOTH!!! COME ON NOW ALL MY CURLAY GURLSS!
Laura Peter: As a curly haired woman I was so excited for this video but it really is pointless if you don‘t get an insight on the exact steps and the products!! Buzzfeed makes such cool informative videos why not do one on curly hair routines!
gabriella lorenzi: when Megan’s routine doesn’t seem excessive cause you do same thing having 3b/c hair is both a blessing and a curse!
GeeklingNo1: Literally just cut my hair because I was spending 20 minutes with my head upside down attempting to comb four feet of hair. I cut it to about Sara's (Sarah's?) length and it takes me five minutes. And dude yes I totally have had both of these routines at some point in my life XD
Sam Ayyye: Their curls are sooo pretty ❤️
Ba S: Moral of the story is: every person’s hair is different and you just have to find out what works for you and stick to it
Robyn: I just realized that my sister doesn't know how to properly care for her curly hair. She has very defined big curls. They're not as small as theirs. I can't say I have seen someone with the same curly hair as her. People often think she curls her hair. She is the only one in the family with curly hair so no one has told her how to care for it. She could be quite insecure about her hair at times. I noticed that her curls are starting to be less defined.
Allison Panzica: So I have naturally very very straight hair but I use a lot of the tips that Megan uses in her routine. I have never had so much volume before!!! Washing your hair upside down makes such a difference. What I do after I finish washing my hair (when its still dripping wet) is dry it with a t-shirt just until it stops dripping so much, and then I put it into a bun on the top of my head for an hour or so, and then I take out the bun and use a blow dryer on a cool setting to completely dry it. I get so much volume and it feels so smooth and velvety I LOVE it!
Alecia G: This video made me realize what I'm doing wrong with my curly hair routine
Gabriela Suero: I relate so hard with Meghan. Sleeping with the silk pillowcase, the upside down routine and the spray bottle, like exactly the same it’s crazy
Cerys Heaps: Megan’s hair looked so much better with Sara’s routine
Ivanna Gamez: I changed my hair routine to almost like Megan’s and you can honestly see a good difference in my hair !
Meghan Pfeiffer: Megan: It feels like 70 degrees outside, which is not that cold. But it's cold enough- Me: *laughs in Wisconsinite*
Adalie Stoddard: Dude I’m dying to know Megan’s full hair routine I NEED IT
iceetas: my curly hair routine: i wash my hair once or twice a week all depending on how i feel. on days that i wash my hair i shampoo, condition and brush in the shower, then i shampoo again, and add a little bit of conditioner and i don't wash it completely. to style, i use coconut oil on the ends then cantu curling cream all over and scrunch up the ends so the curls define and skrink and i air dry. to put my hair up i take the front parts and pull them back in a half up half down look and can normally keep my hair like that for like 3 days and i don't wash it so it kinda just stays like that for a couple days
