Hi, I'm Lorraine, Massey, welcome to Devesh, and today we're going to take you from curls to waves, a looser longer elongated curly, lock without hurting it after showering you're going to leave a healthy plant full of conditioner in your hair. You know that you have enough conditioner in the hair and the hair is hyper moist when it's so easy for you to glide your fingers through the hair, again no brushes or pounds, and it creates a really fantastic foundation of moisture, plus the weight of the conditioned Left in your hair elongates, it you're going to put a shallow pan full of gel and evenly distribute in both hands and graze downwards over the halo part of the hair. We call this the canopy the gel cast really contains. It keeps you meditate out, so the curls are allowed to set in their natural position. This will definitely stop the curls from frizz in a lot of crowed. Girls are always surprised when the hair dries it can contract almost six inches, but to ensure an elongated curl anchor pins on the ends. It adds extra weight without distorting it's Basic Instinct shape. At this point, you can air dry. If you have time, if not, you could diffuse, if you've had years of abuse with your hair, this will definitely restore it to its natural beauty. So a lot of women with curly hair of a misconception of it not being professional. A lot of ladies like to keep their curls contained during the day and if you've got a wedding or a special occasion that evening, just before you're about to go out, you can display the hands around your scalp and simply shuffle just to release the cast lock. It out and have lovely wild curl, so a variation of the same look we're going to do a faux bob. Take a band of fabric band place it around the bottom part of the hair start to roll it up right up until the nape of the neck. Insert bobby pins just leave a few pieces out around the front. You could leave a feather in or any hair adornment. So this is how you achieve the faux bob. It'S also a great way to figure out if you want to cut your hair a little shorter without actually committing to it.

Michaela Boyd: Lorraine (the stylist in the video) never said that this hair is kinky so don't blame her. Blame whoever put up the video bc Lorraine is very knowledgable when it comes to hair types and would not try to mislead anyone!

Cali Cat: Theres no way you can run your fingers so freely through kinky hair especially if its freaking wet

Mariah Smith: The part where she used the hair clips to add extra weight is a definite, ''must try''.

Mina: I love the respect that she has for curls. You can tell she is passionate about it

Marie Walton: Beautiful and so simple! Thank you!

Banananut98: Great technique!!! So excited to try this tomorrow :)

Umm Jibreel: This is exactly what I’ve been looking for thank you!

Mara Dee: that's an insult to the girls who have kinky hair :/

JUNEBUG754: This helps so much thank you!

Terry Green: That looks really pretty I wish my hair was like that

jose martin chilet: lorraine massey is the queen of curls ✨

pcFOREVER89100: This is not "Kinky" curly hair! I really thought I was going to watch an informative video about my 3c kinky curly hair.

La'Strawberae Jones: omg this actually helped thank you:)

Infertility And Me Podcast: Her texture and curl pattern is hardly kinky.

Precious: The stylist is very creative and informed. The model is gorgeous, so is her hair. The title of this YouTube video is wrong, you are selling to the wrong audience. Marie Claire, wise up and please rename it ☀️

Phyl C.: Yeah....I want to see this demonstration on hair that's like mine. My hair is NEVER this easy to navigate.  

Monique Boea: Um her hair is not kinky at all

Kiwi K5: these people must not know what kinky curly hair is

skratchd: Wow! That girl had hair like I did before I cut it. Makes me miss my long hair so much :-(

Alleé Keene: kink·y (kiNGkē) (_adjective_) having kinks or twists Just thought Marie Claire could use the Webster's definition of Kinky since it's obvious they're a little confused.

Manatee()5: I'm confused. Those weren't kinky curls, that was not a healthy amount of conditioner, and she didn't have wavy hair after. Also, you said smooth waves on the title, and then " wild curls" in the video?

Kayla Tate: Yeeaaa...her hair isn't kinky

B. Adams: Although I adore Ms. Massey I feel that they do not show all curl types the woman she is using as her model to me has a somewhat loose curl pattern and I don't consider it kinky. If I however tried this with my own curly hair I feel it would not work as well because my curls are much tighter than that. I love my curls and I learned to do that because of Ms. Massey's book but sometimes I want a girl with my hair type to be shown.

Luiza: Thank you so much!

lexi jenny: As if having kinky hair is a bad thing

Nika B: I dont think they know what "kinky curly" is lol and Ive never seen them post anything about type 4 hair.

Alvina Sheikh: Thank you for this

Kasandra Jackson Hittle: im mixed and with i had her curls. i dont even know what my hair is. i cant leave my curls out at all and it never lays that flat when its washed. i have the thickest hair ever.

patyrc76: The conditioner makes it look dirty. Probably has residue and stickiness after dry.

Ann Daggs: Can you do a video on girls with really fine, low density hair, my hair is really thin and lacks volume?

Annika Block: Curly hair goddess

Ebony Harris: Kinky hair isnt curly ..kinky hair is 4b hair

Amana Fernandes: Her hair pattern is NOT kinky

Shante Barze: Lol. I have been natural since 2015. Now my curl pattern is 3b 3c. I have been experimenting on a lot of different products that made my hair dry an frizzy. I need to be using deva curl

Touched MePickles: I HAVE THAT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER!!! I'm set for life!!!

jkdelacruz: Just squeeze the whole bottle of conditioner, you can just buy a new one everyday, run it through and leave it in so that it makes your hair look greasy as fuck, then squeeze half a bottle of gel and let that set so that your hair gets crispy and hard, don't forget to get a new bottle every other day, then just wait half the day for everything to dry and you're good to go. What a crock of SHIT!

Autumn marchand: Her hair is not kinky, lol.

Millie Spence: how long does it stay like this

Tom BoyApproved: Everyone is complaining about her use of the word "kinky" while I'm over here trippin over how much product she used.

Poetry Binion: Does it matter what shampoo and gel you use ?

SogMosee: So how often do you do this? Every day? Every 2 days? Once a week? If infrequently, how should I wear my hair at night?

Thither Shook: As someone with 3b hair, I can honestly tell your there isn't one single link in that girls hair. If I was the boss, I'd fire the hair dresser.

Nae Nae: Leave in conditioner? Or actual conditioner?

lvanaie: her hair is definetly not kinky and not even curly, her hair waves, waves include constant bump shapes in the hair, curls swirl around in what can be described as circles.

Rachel Joseph: I have what my hairdresser calls 1b kinky hair. It's really thick and short. I usually just get box braid or corn extensions, but I don't have any clue about hair or even my hair.

Leigha Michelle: That girl is beautiful!

Calico Cat JM: My hair is 3b and is a lot more kinky than that, if I follow these steps my hair will end up like a umbrella/mushroom

Kennesha Buycks: First of all, where’s the kinky hair? Second, I’m so tired of this kinky=bad narrative. Kinky hair does NOT need to be tamed. Can we just stop, please? Seems as tho what we need is taming of all these straight haired folks and brands or TRAINING them to see ALL hair as unique and beautiful. #overit

Ryanna Woodend: She clearly has no clue what kinky hair is and probably has no idea how to deal with actual kinky textured hair. As a hairstylist she should possess an array of knowledge on different hair types. Hence why black women will soley entrust their hair to another black woman. White hairstylists have a basic, limited skillset when it comes to hair other than their's, whereas as black hairdressers have no problem handling all hair types. (Not a mass generalisation but it is fact in most cases)

SogMosee: what are the products used in this video

Leksa: Did yall see how she applied gel?

Phoebe Godiva-Adeniyi: So we are running from “kinky” hair but DevaCurl is constantly sponsoring kinky textured videos. Interesting. I will never used these overpriced products or watch videos that feature them.

rainbow: amaaaaazing

gare9485: Love the way She explains about curly hair, woww I learned new things today love her.

TwigsDaughter: This channel obviously doesnt know much about "kinky" hair when they use a model with my hair texture, 3B. *Theres people with tighter curls and coils* that you can't just run your hands through while wet. And why does this lady got that perm trying to style curly hair lmao

Big juicy: Excuse me if you are going to say kinky USE A GIRL WITH KINKY HAIR

Adriftinasea: if it's REAL kinky hair you can *not* run your fingers through it. at ALL. i should know. my hair is actually kinky, and running your fingers through it will frizz the curls out instantly. patting the hair too much will frizz it out as well and create a haze. this model's hair is simply curly. not kinky curly. if you want to see what actual kinky curly hair looks like, take a look at my videos, and you'll see what kinky curly hair looks like from wet to dry. 

Juleny Mercedes: what products did you use

Vannnah: Ugh WYPIPO know good and dang well they will never have "kinky" curls Don't copy our wave

A G: but the whole gel thing gives you the wet look, I don't like the wet look

Emiko Orange: I know lot of girls with the models hair type. Its not kinky. But people have this hair and its okay to have a video on it.

Noshville: Who can afford to use THAT MUCH $22 conditioner

Renée Eli: If that's what you call kinky I wonder what you call type 4C hair...

daffodil.ginseng: "Lovely *wild* curls"

Annika Block: Lorraine didn't say it was kinky, the person who typed the title of the video did! Lorraine knows what she is talking about

Cynthia FA: Wait did you put conditioner or leave in conditioner

mini_kimmyy: This vid should be named: How To Moisturize Loose Curls LMFAO

camkib: I came here for kinky curls... I want a refund!!

Hack Battle: You talk about fluffing it out and having wild beautiful curls. But you don't actually show it.

Ananda: don't know why my black ass clicked on this video...

Handsome Stranger: What's the girl in the chairs Instagram tho?

URBAN IDOL TV: The model is so Pretty

Sophia: that faux bob made my hemorrhoid react again

we940jfndkl: The title for this video is very deceptive. Her curl pattern was wavy to begin with. A waste of time.

Jennifer N: Did you see how much conditioner is used and deva products are expensive...no ma'am!!

River and Izzy: That's not curly to wavy hair...

cream cheese: That hair was just about as kinky as i am straight Does she know the difference between kinky as in 'daddy!!' And kinky hair

itz.kaiii.: I'm trying to get my hair like that girl in chair ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️. No help at all.

Pineapple Vlog: White hairdressers have limited mindsets when it comes to hair in my experience. Black hairdressers know how to do all hair textures and know what to use on it

Amiya Jenkins: +Marie Claire what if I don't have an diffuser?

Breezy Visuals: “Kinky” my hair is kinky curly

Aden Tadese: This is a wash and go lol.

DeepHerSoul: Sorry, her hair isn't "kinky". Try this on 4c lady

Rachel: Kinky hair? Smooth waves? Ok she clearly has no idea what she’s talking about. All she did was slap a bunch of product on her hair making it look weighed down and wet, almost dirty I’d say. Not a good video at all.

Dr. Jay: Aww she tried to help women with kinky hair. Nice try but that gel is too light to elongate. Try eco styler...any color of the rainbow.

TheBooté.: "kinky" - no. Devacurl - no.

CyberLiyah: Not because she is black that it means she has kinky hair! Some black people (mixed mostly) have caucasian really curly hair so it looks coily but when straightened, its not.

Harper C. Thomas: Y’all this was 8 years ago. A lot has changed since then regarding education on natural hair. Let his just be a reminder of how far we have come.

Adriftinasea: erm. but her hair's not kinky. i'm confused lol

NoeNae Monae: Kinky ... Yea ok

Thither Shook: Do y'all even know what kinky is...

Jelena Jeanine: What a joke. In what world is that kinky hair?

Jeanette McClure: This isn't an insult it's simply an alternative to try out a new style. I have natural 3a curls and sometimes I like to try different methods of styling. NBD.

Karina: Marie Claire, you take this done. How on earth is this kinky hair? It's very ignorant on your part.

justsayneenuh: does anyone know the models name?

Sa'Nya Monét: Kinks? really. .

JALO: kinky? this is white girlz hair ma’am

gare9485: The girl has wavy hair, KINKY HAIR IS NOT CURLY IS NAPPY HAIR, KINKY HAIR DOES NOT CURL IS LIKE A BRILLO, POINT BLANK

Audrey G.: Yikes, a whole palmful of conditioner is way too much. Not to mention, the cost of product.

mari: I have the same kind of hair as hair I would not say that's kinky kinky is less loos curlers
