Hi everyone, so it was requested of me to do a haircare picture and I thought the best way to do it. Seeing as I've got a lot to say about the subjects cut, a lot of hair isn't going to kind of do it in two parts. So this video is going to be in a kind of tips and just me kind of talking about curly, hair and then the next video is going to be my hair, hair care routine and products I use. So my hair is really curly, as you can see, and it is also really long. You probably can't really tell um, because it's curly but actually um - I have got really really long, hair, it's kind of past past my waist. It'S really long. It'S really really curly and it's um. It'S very my hair is strange because it's not very dry or very damaged, considering the fact that it's really curly and really long and that it's dyed as well. My natural hair color is kind of like well, it's kind of like a mousey brownie blonde, and I was blond up till about a year ago. I was properly properly blonde and then I kind of decided. I need a change and this is it so I mean I love it. The color is now I wouldn't change it for the world. I kind of dyed it black. You know it's a bit harsh and it's kind of faded out now and it's kind of got red tones in it now which I really like and I'm the happiest I've been with my hair at the moment for a long time. So, my god, I'm gon na just tell you my top tips for curly hair um. You know I'm not a hairdresser. I don't know that much about hair and, to be honest, I'm not passionate about hair care and I'm quite lazy with my hair and I'll tell you kind of what I do and what I use in in my hair care. So my top tip the curly hair is don't touch it. This might sound a bit wait, but I found that when you kind of you know whether you kind of diffuse it or scrunch up with mousse or whatever you do to it, the more you touch it. The less volume and the more frizz you're going to get so I try and kind of stick to not touching it. So when it's wet, I kind of arrange it into the shape. I want it to be and then try and not touch it at all and that's how the kind of these kind of curls happen the kind of proper round curls when you just let it form on its own and and don't touch it. The next thing is to always always always use conditioner, and I wash my hair every day. I know you shouldn't like if I'm wearing it curly - and I know you shouldn't, but the reason that are you always use a lot of conditioner is curly. Hair can be quite front quite prone to frizz, and you kind of need a good conditioner to kind of moisturizer contain that down and then the neck, which leads me to the next tip, which is don't don't ever ever ever, and this is the most important tip. I can give anyone with curly hair, don't ever rush it when it's dry, the less you brush it the better. So what I do is I shampoo it put conditioner on brush my hair and then um and then kind of wash the conditioner and get out and that's it. I don't brush it again. I brush it once with conditioner on and that is it and the more you brush it, the frizzier its gon na get. So that's the reason I wash it every day, because otherwise it'll just get too tangly, but only when it's got conditioner on um. That'S the only time I brush it and the brush that I use. If I'm sorry, I've just realized, it's got bit my hair and is the Tangle Teezer, which looks like this, and it's just got very kind of long and short plastic brush bristles on it, and it looks like that and it kind of gets through your hair when It'S wet them in a more gentle way and without tearing the hair, which is very important - and this is great when I first got it - I wasn't sure how to use it and my fans best way to use. It is to kind of take the piece of hair that you want to do so. Let'S say this one, I'm not going to do it because obviously, then I'll just go frizzy but lay it across your hand and then brush it down cross your hands. It doesn't hurt because the brush is very soft and and brush it. That way, that's the best way to brush it, and I also, if you've got curly hair. I recommend using and moves I find it gives the kind of best hold and the most volume - and I think, curly hair needs volume, there's something quite you know quite luxurious and really sexy about having big, curly hair and then mousse always gives it that kind of Extra bit of volume, which i think is really important and then and it holds the curl a lot better than kind of different formula products - would do again. My hair isn't if I would just get out the shower and leave it to dry. It doesn't dry like this kind of three inside and the bottoms might do a little bit, but it's um - it's not this big, so I kind of have to put mousse in the scrunch it up for it to dry. Like this, I just scrunch up for about a second and, and it kind of does this and yeah. Then the next tip is try and use a serum on your hair and in the next part, this video, I'm gon na, show you if serum I use, but it kind of helps to kind of make the hair look more groomed and not like you've got frazzles Dog'S hair um, but just a little bit and run it through the ends of the hair and and another thing when when you've got curly hair, I know it's it's sometimes it can be so frustrating because you can't really do much with it. It kind of takes a lot of time and effort to kind of make it look nice, but I can honestly say, but when I wear my hair curly it is, it takes no effort whatsoever um, I wash it every night and kind of in the next video You'Ll see what products I use and I'll explain why I use them. I wash it every night kind of put a little bit of serum and me scrunch it up with my heads upside down. Leave it I sometimes go to bed with it wet sump. Normally it dries kind of before before everyone's bed, and then I woke up in the morning - and this is what it looks like I kind of rough it up with my hands just on the inside bit not through, and this is what it looks like and again, Like I said, don't touch it, the the minimal amount of touching you can do it's the best. It interferes with the shape and the holes of the curl and and if you find a routine that works for you, it's so easy and you know you don't have to spend any time doing your hair in the morning. Like you know, you can't steal the things been longer doing your makeup or whatever else it is you wan na do and yeah. So that's it. I'M going to now record the next part of this video for you and yeah. I hope you hadn't you fellas found that helpful. I don't know what's wrong with me today, I'm all over the place, but um yeah, so just to kind of count down of what the tips were. Don'T touch it too much only brush it when it's always these conditioner and only brush it when it's got conditioner and it's wet and then use mousse and use a serum, and I think you'll probably enjoy the next video a bit more, because I've got some really Cool products to talk about and for different budgets, and that kind of thing, so I hope you found it helpful and if you enjoyed it by
Comments
Sarah DiMarco: These videos are so helpful, thank you! I'm a mama with slightly wavy, mostly straight and easy to manage hair, but my daughter has extremely curly hair! She's almost 4, so up till now I haven't been really caring for it like curly hair, just doing what was quick and easy. So I'm just trying to figure out how to care for it best, keep it frizz free, and keep those curls looking gorgeous!
arightoldkneesup: Hey, I just went to say a huge thank you to you, sparkleicious, for your hair videos. I have been at war with my curly hair for years eventually giving it up on it entirely and straightening the hell out of it which made it drier and poofier and I kept having to get it cut to a length i wasnt happy with and made my hair go triangle shape. since finding your videos I have followed your advice, left my hair alone as much as possible when drying and havent used heat on it in months
Tom BoyApproved: By the way, I love your hair like this. I have been doing the curly girl method and my hair is getting shinier and growing faster. This hairstyle for you brings out your natural facial features. I wear my hair straight like yours as well and so many people tell me they like the curly better on me. I didn't understand until I saw your videos. Your natural curl is absolutely gorgeous. It encouraged me to get layers and wear mine curly again. Thanks.
Laura Mae Parlato: My hair care routine is essentially the same as hers and my hair comes out amazing! Listen to her tips, they will give you fabulous curls!
Catarina De Sousa: Time traveling back to your videos in 2019. So nostalgic... I love your videos so much, especially the old curly hair tips .
Charliesperanza: You just made me feel so much better about my hair! Thank you x
Che07: Your hair is so beautiful! My hair's extremely similar in texture, colour, and length. You were the first youtuber who made me want to embrace my natural hair, so I thank you for that!
Alison Sandlin: I opened this video a couple days ago when doing research about possibly filming my own curly hair video. I ADORE your curls (and length! I am growing mine out) and I am pleased to hear that your method is almost identical to mine. What I'd like to know is how often do you get your hair cut? I go to a ridiculously expensive stylist (and trying to keep it long, but healthy) so I only go twice a year.
charlie wolfe: Your hair is gorgeous. My hair has lost it's natural curl over the past few years from dying it and growing it out. I wish I could get that same curl you have!
SalvaPride: I have INSANELY curly hair and I absolutely LOVE it :) always have confidence. Our natural beauty? it's what make us beautiful.
Larissa: I've been told so many times i look a lot like you. I don't really see it but we have the exact same hair :) im in love with my hair and i found this video so helpful about a year ago when i first saw it. Thank you!
Oomie Says: i have found that leaving my hair alone when wet and always to condition it when i rinse it or get it wet in the shower makes for good curls (: nice and round and plump! love your hair!
Jasmine Waheidi: this video helped me so much :) thank youu!!! i have very curly hair just like yours and mine is also very thick and i never knew what to do with it before and now id do so thank you so much :)) by the way your hair is soo gorgeous
Luke Lavender: Your hair is BEAUTIFUL. I am so jealous that it is so voluminous and your curls are really nicely defined too. Lucky, lucky girl.
Annabel Hewitson: Thank you so much - this is really useful ((: I think I might try washing my hair more often because my hair's always like yours the day after but not after that - it just gets frizzy haha
BellaPeppr: Hi, I got a serious problem with my hair that hopefully you can give me advice on. My hair is naturally curly, thick, and rebellious and often impossible to tame. I've been using straightening perms for more than a year and use a flat iron everyday on my curls. So far my hair breaks off bit by bit and is severely damaged. I'm planning on trying not to use any heat damaging tools that could damage my hair, but the problem is its never the same it was before. Help me!
Emily martin: I have never seen someone that has the exact same type of curly hair as me. I swear it looks identical!!!!!! I love it:) and people tell me that all the time and I'm like yeah...except it really looks completely different...haha. I also do all the exact same things you talked about:) <3
Phantyra: Great tips! Going to try them tomorrow :P Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous on you btw ;)
arightoldkneesup: @arightoldkneesup cont.. and let it grow long and its looking the best it ever has been, so thank you so much for inspiring me to embrace my curls, I can honestly say you are the best curly hair guru on this site! keep making videos, you're great! from one very happy curly head :) xxx
Grafin Von Hopper: Seus cabelos são lindos! ainda vou ter um igual a esse!
Shaila Amreen: I have same hair as you! I didn't know how to take care of it. This video helped me a lot. Thank you :))
Jocelyn Buckley: OH MY GOSH! I thought I was the only person in the world with hair like that...BUT I'M NOT! My hair is almost exaaclty like your, but the layers are longer. I so wanna cut it like yours now! Btw you're gorgeous! Thanks for the tips! (:
Thesparkleicious: That is very common for that to happen as using heat on curls can change how they are....all you can really do is make sure your hair is in really good condition, maybe take some supplement that are good for curly hair and not straighten it anymore! :) Hope this helps!
gee: Hey, random fact from a hairdresser: Try not to brush your hair with the conditioner in your hair/in the shower. When your hair is wet it is at its weakest state and it will break. I have curly hair as well and find it best to just run my fingers through it after applying conditioner and only brush it after towel drying, using a wide-tooth comb and starting from the ends and working my way up. Noticing strands of hair that are shorter than others? Wet hair breakage!
Anna Luna: your hair is so so so beautiful. And i love the fact that is so long even though its curly. Im trying to make my curls this long but mine's so dry and its frustrating :/
Beauty Sunshine: omg!! thanks for your tips. my hair is very similar to yours when i was younger i hated it i wanted it straight all the time. now at 37 years old i love my curls i get many compliments. love your british accent! all the way from puerto rico!!
AliceRoared: I used to have slightly wavy hair (it used to be quite long but I kept cutting it shorter) and then I cut it into a pixie cut and kept it short for a year or so, I then started growing it out and BAM curly hair. Gosh, it's been quite a big change because I have nooo idea how to style it haha.
Ruby Bridge: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Yay my hair is soo much nicer now thanks for the great tips!
andy!: Woahhh this was R E A L L Y helpful! I have the e x a c t same hair and it's just FRUSTRATING sometimes and my mum is always telling me 'Don't touch it, don't touch it!' but I don't really listen to her. But now, I know she's right :D LOL hahah (: thanks a lot!
Kristen George: Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait until my hair is that long because it will probably be very similar. I also LOVE your accent. In summary, i pretty much just love you.
hattrick3011: seems like all people with curly hair also got thin, dark eyebrows :). I also got dark eyebrows:). I've been struggling with it for years, till I realize it's not that bad, actually it's natural and now I love how it looks :). It takes time to care about curly hair, but you did a good job :).
Rose-Aurelia: your hair is amazing!! do you have any tips for growing curly hair??? <3
arightoldkneesup: Hey, I was wondering if you had any tips on summer hair care for curly hair? Im going away to spain for the whole summer and I'm scared my hair will frazzle! Keep up the great videos :) xx
Pressley: FINALLY a curly girl with non dry hair!!! THANK YOU!! xD yay im not the only one!!!
JuiceJuicity: Wow! You can actually make it look nice! I always try to brush my hair...but I have clone "Hermione hair" so it goes ridiculously poofy and frizzy whenever I try to brush it and it gets even worse when it's humid. If I don't brush, it looks like I crawled out of a grave. I'm stuck between a rock and a hairy place.
Thesparkleicious: @redheadchels22 glad you find it helpful:) I ask for long layers....always! x
Stephanie Wottrich: You, your hair and your accent are just gorgeous! I have hair kinda like yours only the curls are a little tighter, and because my hair is SUPER porous, it's quite a bit fluffier :( I'm trying to get a perfect routine to get the curls to stay clumped together and I'm getting closer, but I'm still looking for the right order and technique :)
TheSinpig: Your hair is totally perfect, thanks for sharing!
Thesparkleicious: Hey, When using heat and harsh things like perm it really damages your curls and there is not much that you can do about it once the damage is done.All you can do it make sure your hair is super healthy so eat well, take some hair vitamins and DON'T use any heat on it! it will take time, but u may be able to get ur curls back.
Annabelle Couton: I have SUPER curly hair! I wish my hair would work as good as that!
Thesparkleicious: I think if you want to you can totally rock long hair at any age, the hole "as you age you need to cut your hair" is just dated, you can rock long hair at any age! I never use gel, I think mousse is better x
murtans: you shouldnt brush your hair when its wet, that causes breakage. just brush it with a widetooth comb preferebly before bed so you dont have to deal with walking around with frizz. you also shouldnt use a lot of conditioner because of build up, it wont make it work better if you use more.. you just use a good conditioner and your set.
Maria M: I have your exact hair and mine is Ombre..brunette to gold..looks awesome! Maybe it would be a good look on you too! ♥
Samiha Uddin: So i've been always hearing that you should use half as much condintionar as shampoo. Do you think its better to use more conditionar? does it like get rid of more frizz? Thanks for the vid :)
RainRainGoAway175: Your curly hair is gorgeous! Wish my curly hair looked like that
Nour: this is prob the second time I watch this video, I have to say ur hair is gorg:) However, I have a q, my hair is originally curly, at one point I used to straighten it all the time, now whenever I leave it to curl on its own, the front part of my hair becomes weird and straight, not like the other parts of my hair, any recommendations? and another thing, I live in Canada, I don't have the VO5 serum, do u recommend anything else that can be affordable and available!!? Thanx a million xx
NievesChik: Your hair is the same as mine! I do use mousse also so your right on your tips!!!
yammieguitar1813: My hair is blonde, super curly and thick, and since I'm growing it out I don't go to the hairdressers, I just cut my split ends off monthly. But I have noticed that my curls have become less bouncy and ringlet-y but more like spiral S curls since I began growing my hair out. Would thinning my hair a bit help to make my curls become bouncier and tighter again? Help please!
qaqawqaqaw: how long did it take you to grow hair to this length ? ur hair is beautiful
zoe745: Great tips. I never brush it when it's dry either, but I'm too lazy to shower so I just wet it and brush.
Maya Rivera: wow your hair is amazing ! i cant wait for my hair to grow out lol you're really pretty too (:
Mary .Mary: omg I love your hair how do you keep it from not frizzing? I have extreme volume with my curls and after it dries, it becomes a mess lol
011natalie110: My mum needs to watch this video. She always tells me to brush my hair and dosen't understand why I refuse to.
Thesparkleicious: @chihirosuh thank you:) you could try a good hair oil or hair serum, a small amount to add shine:)
XxAngelOfTheFallenxX: your hair so pretty :o i have naturally curly hair as well idk how it just evolved from frizz lol but i usually just straighten it but it takes 2-3 hours and i'm getting tired of it even though i love the way it looks, so i'm gonna let my hair grow out and stop dying it for now, it think i will like it more if it was long, i think long curly hair is super pretty! ^_^
Thesparkleicious: @arightoldkneesup Awww I can't tell you how happy that makes me darling! so glad I was able to help! xx
Liv McQuaid: I have very curly hair also and when its wet my hair goes just below my breast so its pretty short when it curls. Do you have any tips to make my curls look longer? Ps i'm growing my hair out to look like yours:)
Cafeconlatte: You have lovely hair! Lovely curls and a gorgeous colour!
Thesparkleicious: @MissyRachel91 I will do a vid soon, but the trick is with mousse to make sure it's got all the water socked out of it and then apply a little mousse, that way it wont go crunchey xx
Niya D: I use the same brush but mine's purple. I love it!!
GAME658: I never know a polite way to ask people to not touch my hair :/ I have cork-screw style curls so most people's first instincts is to touch it or pull on one to "watch it bounce" Any suggestions on a way to politely letting them know?
RussianRaina: Your hair is amazing!! So pretty <3
shibbydoo322: Your hair is so pretty! I wish my hair looked like yours, mine is a mix of wavy and curly but I'm CG (sorry that didn't work out for you) If my hair looked like yours I would never ever straighten it! :)
Rahwii: You have such a perfect curl and you are gorgeous in sooo jelly!!
Thesparkleicious: @BeauHappiHealz I do not dry it, I just wrap it up in a towel for about 10-15 mins:)
PastryTCB: Is does :) And thank you so much for such an detailed answer! I really appreciate it!
Thesparkleicious: Aww I feel for you, only time will tell really, the longer it grows the more the damaged parts will grow out.

ANNIEmazing: I'm having serious hair envy. Your curls are gorgeous!

Forum Latam: Fibally I found a really curly girl like me!! Your curlz are amazing!!
Hope Maldonado: its like u read my mind..i do all these tips for my curly hair.:)
Beauty Sunshine: you have amazing hair and your beautiful!! i wanted to ask you i also have your type of hair but, I'am in my middle 30's. what do you think of women rocking the long hair? i mean my hair is pretty healthy i don't use heating tools at all.do you use gel or mousse? and by the way your ends do not look dead to me! your hair looks very healthy.
Dra: You are absolutely beautiful! Also, we have the same hair :)
Alysia Henderson: I would suggest brushing your hair right before your get in the shower, because it will tear and break really bad when wet, or atleast mine does. But I do brush it a second time with the conditioner in to help make sure it gets a thorough coating. Great vid though, thanks a bunch!
curlyTegan: Just curious how long did it take you to grow your hair to this length, I have very similar hair to you but it's a couple of inches past my shoulders when curly, I want your length of hair!!!
Gina Rae Taitt: so...you just go to sleep with your hair either down or up in a bun and it looks like THAT in the morning pretty much?! girl you are soooo lucky lol. I love my hair but it's so dry and I swear it never curls the same way twice. (my point is I wish my hair curled the way yours does, it is just gorgeous. Your hair is the way that naturally curly hair SHOULD look! : )
Emma Dewil: You.... Have the most beautiful hair I have EVER seen! I have curly/wavy hair and I just need a product to make the curls more defined.
Michal Dahan: Mousse doesn't seem to be working on my hair at all-I've been testingit out for the past week and a half. I used to use gel, but what should I do if it doesnt? Should I carry on with mousse or go back to gel? I'm just scared that the gel will dry my hair out and break it..
Pernille Vagtborg: This is my favourite hair cut on you! It's brilliant
Sis: Ooooooh! I have basically the same hair as you do except I have a hard time getting the perfect ringlets that you have! Subbed! :)
Kindertainment: you stated the same things over and over, but it got stuck in my head. That's good!!! Also these where great tips!!!
Ingrid Sarayba: i LOVE your hair :) so perfect!
Lexa Murry: Hiiii!! I love your videos! I'm just wondering, would you be able to do a few vids of some hairstyles that you could do with your type of hair?? Thanks!
CityLights: Hey. It has to be natural. There is no way to completely change your texture. You can use a curling iron or curling wand to style your hair in curls that look like hers.
Armeniangirlandproud: What kind of style is your hair cut? Oh and how long approximatly did it take you to grow it that long? By the way you AND your hair are gorgeous! I'm so jealous!!
Thesparkleicious: I have a video up on my channel about how I grow it, but there is no top secret, just keep it healthy and don't cut it 2 often! x
Beauty Sunshine: Thank you for your advice!! i'am gonna try the mousse just wondering if you would do any videos on hairstyles

Karol C: Omg... I'll do anything to have those curls you have... They are literally the best ones I have ever seen, I kinda used to have it like that but then it just got straight once I got a haircut and now I really want them back!! I need help!!
Jakia Nur: @thesparkleicious YOu're hair is sooo beautiful.....do you cut it yourself or get it done at the salon?!? If you cut it yourself then you should do a tutorial on it or just talk about how to do it! I would love to see it!!!
GloriaR: you saved my hairs life! subscribing now!
