Live Replay Full Wavy Hair Routine Oct 12Th 2022

Okay, we are going to go through a full wavy uh like styling routine. Tonight it wasn't actually my wash day I just fully re-saturated my hair. So technically it was a water wash or a wet refresh, but who's counting right, anyways, let's get started uh. So I just went and wet my hair and now why is it so dark? Okay? So now we're gon na go through and detangle, which might take a second um and then we're gon na style. Thank you for the rose Sue that was fast uh soup stew. I missed that soup uh. I have all these new brushes from bounce curl. They sent me four brushes this one, it's like flexible. I think this is going to be best for detangling. I don't know I feel like it should have less bristles for detangling and then hey Hillary and then like a curry comb. Maybe I start with that. When do you use this one? Is it a boar? First, I don't know. I didn't really give a big description of what it is. This is my first time using these brushes. I don't know no. I didn't like that. I don't know when I would use that brush. Maybe it's just not for my hair type. Does anybody know what that hair brush is for um, so anyways, because I didn't wash my hair today? I am not even gon na. I don't think, add anything before I detangle um. I was using the bounce curl, moisture balance, leave-in conditioner treatment and primer with rose oil and fenugreek Botanicals, which is a medium moisture, um, leave-in, conditioner, it's lovely and it Blends beautiful with it beautifully with their gel. However, yeah, maybe for smoothing um, it's a little too heavy for my hair, and I found my hair was like very soft going into today, so I just decided, I don't think I'm not gon na need to add any more moisture. Okay. This is okay, detangling brush. We, like I'm, not hating, it's, maybe not my favorite, but it's doing the job gently enough, but thank you bounce girl for sending me these brushes. I literally cannot own enough detangling brushes because my dogs, it's like their favorite toy because it smells like Mama. So they always get into them and I always get them chewed on by a dog um. Okay. So I always start when I'm detangling I'm going to start with the ends. I work my way gradually up, um one second putting the brush like this yeah. That'S a good idea, so you have a slightly smaller section. I think that's what you mean, but anyways. My hair is not really that Tangled today, so it's kind of going through quite nicely like we're done, half wow. Sometimes it takes me like 25 minutes to detangle. My hair, and sometimes it takes like five minutes um, usually something to do with my protein moisture balance. So when my hair is really Tangled, I usually take sections like this and detangle it on my wrist, like on my arm like that, to get the ends first and then go to where the knots start again and pull that through. And if it's really Tangled. I will finger detangle first, I will pull the hair apart into a small, a section as I can get into and then I'll start detangling one section at a time. I know some people really struggle with detangling. If your hair is particularly knotted, get a clarifying shampoo. You need to clarify: remove all that buildup, which can really contribute like especially protein buildup can really contribute to um tangles um, so get a clarifying shampoo make sure you're using it on a somewhat regular basis. Uh. I probably clarify at least twice a month. Sometimes three times a month, um and then uh. I would follow that up with a moisture, heavy, deep, conditioner, something that's not full of protein and let that sit in your hair and once that's been sitting in your hair, for whatever the recommended amount of time is. It'S different for all deep conditioners: 5. 10, 20 minutes, whatever they say to do then, while the deep conditioner is still in your hair, try to deep condition. Sorry try to detangle section by section. If your hair is very fragile, you might not want to detangle wet hair for me, I'm usually fine to detangle wet hair and as long as there's conditioner or deep conditioner on my hair, I find it detangles quite like the easiest in that state. But if your hair is very fragile, maybe it's very, very fine or it's damaged in some way. Then it's probably a better idea to detangle before you get into the shower the deep conditioner that I would recommend for like naughty tangled hair. Is the lust Brands deep conditioner like I cannot recommend it highly enough. I actually have it right here. It'S like I come back to it over and over again, it's the deep condition and repair by Les brands. I absolutely love it. It'S very moisture forward, there's no added protein, and I just which is weird that it's called a repair because, usually when it says like restore or repair, it usually means it's protein heavy. This one is not um so anyways whenever my hair is like kind of acting. Weird and I'm just like oh what's happening, I go in with a clarifying shampoo. I finally have a clarifying shampoo that I love and it's the gentle clarifying shampoo by bounce curl. Like obsessed, I use it for the first time and it's exactly what I have been waiting for loved it gives you a great lather, just felt so good on my hair, hi Becca, um, foreign, okay, so the hair. She is detangled okay and then here, oh man, who doesn't love a really sharp comb. It'S the little things in life, so I have grown out my curly bangs guys. The era has ended. They were very good to me. I'Ve had them pretty much since I started this platform, but all good things must come to an end, somebody's asking about the brushes one. Second, so uh they gave me the volume brush, which I assume is for like, like picking at your roots. This one on your right is probably for smoothing. It'S like a curry, comb type thing um. This is just like comb comb. I feel really good quality. They feel like enamel. Almost I don't know I like them, and then this detangling brush, which I'm quite happy with it, I think it did a good job, has a good Flex to it, maybe slightly more grip. I think I would like it a little bit better if um. Do you see each of these little prongs is two. I think I would like it better if each prong was one, but that's just me. I like lots of flexibility in my detangling brush uh. Would you conditioner, do I recommend the less Brands one? Where do you buy that clarifying shampoo, I think through their website? I don't know if you can buy it on Amazon, you can check um. I think I have it linked in my bio, so you can check that out too we're three minutes until 11, so we can pretty much get started now. Let'S do this. I have these silk pajamas that I thrifted and I totally love them when I feel like I want to be super comfy, but I don't want to wear um sweatpants, so anyways, it's so cute uh and I took my dogs out today and it got covered in Burrs, like I don't even remember, walking into anything but literally like this whole section of my leg was just like tiny little Burrs like not Burdock, but like the really small ones I was devastated. So I sat outside for like 20 minutes like hand picking each one they're a little bit damaged, but oh well. They were like five dollars uh, I think bounce curls available at Sally's. But again, don't quote me on that. I I truly don't know um the brand sent it to me, uh, which I really appreciate. So I did not have to order it myself thanks Hillary, okay, so we're gon na make sure our hair is absolutely saturated. Uh. I learned something today from curl gal Chloe Chloe curl gal Chloe, who, if you don't follow her, I think she's such a great account to follow super underrated. Uh based on, like follower, account um and she is a Manchester based curly hair specialist by the way, if there's other curlier Specialists like who are actually hair, stylists. Remember, I'm not a hair stylist that you think I should follow um or wavy hair Specialists that you think I should follow. Definitely like tag them in one of my posts and be like yeah I'll, follow this person or tag me in one of their posts, because I want to like I don't know, I love actually hearing from the experts. I'M not an expert, I'm just like know what I've learned through my own hair experience, but I'm not like actually educated in any way on these topics. Um and curly God Khloe one of the things I learned from her was you actually when you're conditioning? So you shampoo, of course you add lots of water. You get that nice lather and then you rinse, maybe you even do it again. Some people like to shampoo twice and then you add your conditioner and you kind of like brush it through or whatever, and then you rinse so when she's conditioning she actually like almost treats it like a shampoo again. So she tries to make it like get a really good, lather, so she'll add the conditioner put it under the water again and start like rubbing like get the get it going, really get it emulsified in the hair, um and then maybe add a little bit. More. Add a little bit more water until it really like it starts to foam, not in like the same way as shampoo would but like you'll, see you're like oh okay. Now I'm doing the den thing now so um I found I did I've done that now for the last two wash days and it makes it adds so much more moisture to your hair that you almost don't need a leave-in conditioner like it really makes a big Difference so if there's one thing you take away from today's live, it's get that lather. When you're conditioning it adds so much moisture to your hair. Do I ever plan on getting formal training? I don't know the jury's out on that um. One of the things I am hoping to do is do like some job shadowing with some curly hair specialists um. If I can find anyone who will let me do it uh in like my area um, so I'm hoping I can like exchange some content in exchange for letting me job shadow them just so. I can like more like for the sense of Integrity with you guys. So that I am like continuing to learn and develop my skill set, but I don't know if I'm actually going to become a cosmetologist, because I don't actually want to color hair. You know like may like am I interested in cutting hair? Maybe but it's like a lot of schooling that you have to do, for what I really want to do is just help people take care of their weaving, curly hair. I don't necessarily want to uh yeah, don't necessarily want to cut their hair for them, but maybe I don't know it's hard to know where things are headed. Okay, sorry, how long have I just been sitting here, adding water to my hair so, like I said not gon na add too too much product because uh I did that like conditioner thingy, that we just talked about you've co-washed with conditioner as a shampoo yeah, totally Um be careful doing that too often, though I mean everybody's hair is different um, but you need to cleanse your hair too, especially if you're using a lot of products that can contribute to build up Hillary yeah, so many options uh. So here is the bounce curl, moisture balance, leave-in, conditioner treatment and primer that I used um. We like we liked it quite a bit, but it's a little bit heavy for my hair, then I went in with their uh light. Hold cream Gel really liked this um with aloe, though I know some people try to avoid aloe my hair likes aloe um. I really like the gel. It was lightweight um. I wish I had added a little bit less of a leave-in conditioner and a little bit more of the gel. Alas, what we are going to do today, instead of adding any more of those products, because my hair was already like very moisturized - maybe a little heavy from those products is I'm going to style my hair and then once I've brush styled my hair, I'm gon na Scrunch in a little bit of strictly curls mousse at the very end, it's kind of something I haven't done before so I'm excited to see how she turns out. Let'S get started so the first thing I'm going to do is brush style, my hair, but I don't do like a full head of brush curls anymore. I don't really like the look as much as I used to it's like too princessy and Polished on my head. Um so, and also it takes a really long time so, between those two factors. Now I'm going to pin this up with a clip uh and then I don't know I didn't want to add any more leave-in conditioner. But now I'm wondering if I should, because my hair doesn't really have good slip to it. It'S like a little bit. You know what I mean by that guys when I say it doesn't really have good slip like it's uh catching a little bit, especially these. Like fairy knots around my head, I just clarified. I don't know why it's doing that so doing that on this side feels like squeaky clean, almost maybe I'm just not used to it without any leaving conditioner in it. Okay, so let's go through Section story that was like Divergent um, I'm gon na take sections that are like this, like you know, relatively large sections, because again I'm not doing brush curls. The underneath is the curliest part of my head. I'M going to take a brush and literally just brush through once, okay and then scrunch it so different brush. Styling techniques are going to work for better for different people. For me, the underneath of my head is spirals that start very close to the root and they vary from looser Spirals and Tighter spirals depends on. My Washi depends on the individual spiral, how it feels that day um. So I like to uh kind of let it do its thing um versus the areas of my hair that are less curly. I will uh give them a little bit more help with some like brush curls things like that, but to save myself time to keep my pattern looking nice and natural, and also to uh there's a third reason. Anyways I just brushed through in sections on this bottom. On this bottom layer of my on this bottom layer of my hair, oh yeah, and to give me more volume, that's the other thing, so you can, if you're having trouble with your hair clumping, you can do a little raking action like that, and then I scrunch, But I don't know if you can tell ever so slightly how this is just like a little bit. Piecier on this side, like the curls are just like falling apart, like that and on this side a little bit less so they're in slightly larger chunks. That'S the whole idea here is to just give them a little bit of help. Sticking together. You want your hair to be nice and wet when you're doing this um, adding like a leave-in conditioner before doing this, will help that work even better uh, but again, like I said, my hair was a little heavy after the last wash day. I didn't wash my hair today, I literally just wet it, so there is gon na still be some product in my hair, um give her a little shake and a scrunch and we're almost back at the front see this is so much faster than brush curls. Okay, so if you want to do like a true ribbon, curl you put your brush underneath give it that quarter turn and start one second out the whole section give it that quarter turn just for a little bit of grip and start pulling it through loosen it. At the top give her a little shake and that's going to give you the largest clumps, if you would prefer to have slightly smaller clumps. You can literally just brush through like this okay, careful that that doesn't usually work very well at that piece of my head. But in other weird areas it can work quite well if you're struggling with the clump like what just happened to me there, you can literally do shingling like that. Shingling is a term that's typically associated with type 3 and type 4 hair, but um. That'S generally the hand movement is when you pinch your hair between like a finger and a thumb and just kind of run it through to piece it all together. In that small section, it gives you an idea. Okay, so you can see this was the ribbon curl. We did really chunky on this side. We did just more like General, brushing through and they're, like maybe a little bit piecier, so you can decide exactly how deep into the brush styling you want to go um. How big you want your clumps to be remember whatever size your clumps are when your hair is wet. Sorry, when your hair is in the process of drawing whatever size, your curl clumps are, that is the curl Clump size they're going to want to keep returning to. So if you make really big chunky, curl, clumps and you're, like oh I'll, just break them up once my hair is dry, you are going to be constantly breaking up. Curl clumps foreign. Throughout the day, it's going to keep reforming into those larger curl clumps that it was in when it dried okay. So for the back of my head, I have a lot of uh hair like right here at the back of my head. So I like to start doing the back of my head before I come up and do the sides - and I just take this like suck the whole section - is like this: it's not huge I'll take one side, another bus start through just like the ribbon curl. We just did give her a shake to revive the crawl. If shaking doesn't revive your curl, you can um scrunch as well. Whatever you need to do, whatever works for your hair type. Okay, give her a little Shake. I don't worry too much about this part of the back of my head because it's like the center there's going to be hair above it it's the back of my head. It'S not that noticeable. So I try not to obsess about it. I just get it the best that I can and then I move on. I really try not to obsess about every little curl and just like trust the process. Remember once your hair is dry, you can always re-wet particular curls and just kind of spot treat, but you can get really bogged down and end up taking like 30 minutes just to do the brush styling and that's fine. If you want to do that, but it takes a lot of time. Okay, I think now we are gon na break it into two sides, so you can see. I did the bottom layer. I did that back section and now I'm going to do one side at a time. Okay, so now I've got all that clipped to one side, I'm going to focus on the back first and work my way forward. I'M going to start with this back section and clip this up. It'S having Clips to work in sections is what makes it so much easier to not miss any sections and it it really does make a difference like it just does. It makes a difference when you brush style. It gives your hair a lot more definition, especially with wavy hair. Now, not everybody can brush style. If you have very yeah, if you have very uh fine hair, for example, very fragile here or very like swayby hair, then brush styling might literally just straighten out the hair, like. Maybe you don't have wet frizz anyways and that's the main goal with brush styling is to get rid of wet frizz um. So if you have no wet frizz to begin with, and then when you run a brush through it just like seems to really straighten it and scrunching it just like it. The whole thing feels pointless, then don't do it uh. There'S lots of other techniques that you can do like doing a bowl method or the bull list method are two techniques that are great and what's going to work best for your own hair, did I just lose service hi Layla? Usually I don't have issues with that. When I'm located here, but hopefully we don't end up with Spotty service, okay, so we're just gon na go through ribbon curl, give it a little Shake and scrunch okay keep working our way forward. Again, I didn't add any products yet today, um, because I I didn't wash my hair today, I just added water um and I had added the moisture balance, leave-in conditioner and the gel from bounce curl. On my previous wash day, which was only a few days ago. I just didn't think I needed a full wash. My scalp wasn't itchy. I just wanted to re-wet it to kind of revive it, and also I didn't even blow dry. My hair on my last wash day I made a video actually um. All I did was Rake through the products. It was a very simple wash day and if you want to see what my hair ended up, looking just literally breaking through products go check out any of my last couple videos. I think it turned out pretty good. Considering like I did nothing, I didn't style it at all, uh, that's not how I usually like to wear my hair, but it's fun every once in a while. Okay, I never use custards or curl creams, custards and curl creams are not meant for people who don't have curl. That starts at the root. So if you don't have spirals that like come out of your head in this direction, if your spirals come out of your head in this direction, I don't ever like. I don't want to make blanket statements because sure everybody's hair is very different, but as a rule, custards and curl creams are not meant for hair that grows in this direction. Um they're too heavy, so they're gon na make your refreshes really really challenging. Your hair is going to start to look heavy and greasy by day, two um so but that's a really good question kelster uh, so I use light leave-in conditioners typically, and I also use a yeah. So, if you're using curl creams, that's why you can't get it to stay in, that's exactly why that product's not meant for your hair type. I start I'm just assuming that you have hair like mine. Maybe your hair is super curly, like I don't know um. I know a big part of my audience has hair very similar to mine, so I often talk to you guys as if your hair is the same as mine. I know it might not be so take that with a grain of salt um see. Oh, no we're not on this side yet uh yeah, so I use very light, leave-in conditioners and either mousses or lightweight stronghold gels and those are typically as a rule going to be the best products for you if you've got wavy hair. So if you have a hair that doesn't grow spirals out in kind of like an up and out Direction, it grows more downward uh, and if your hair has a tendency to lose its bounciness and its curl, it will throw it a few hours. Especially, that's often happens when you don't have strong enough, hold and or but usually and uh the products you're using are too heavy for your hair. So your hair - it like maybe looks good right after you wash it, but within a few hours it's like, because those heavy products have a lot of moisture, loving ingredients, so they can continue to take on moisture from the environment. So they keep like getting weighed down. More and more and more throughout the day yeah, so we just need to choose our products carefully, and I think that's one of the reasons that I find uh being more specific with your hair type, can be really helpful. So sure wavy is a type of curly hair. But if I keep using the term curly, it's going to connect me to a much wider array of products and techniques versus. If I use the term wavy, I'm going to be connected to a much more specific set of products and techniques, and the other thing to keep in mind is if your hair is like in that Curly midpoint, so you're, not kinky, coily and you're, not in the Wavy category, you don't have an alternative term. That is more specific that you can use. So if everybody with kinky coily hair and everybody with wavy hair is using the term, wavy becomes really hard for that middle group to find the information that they're looking for um and you'll find this a lot actually like. If you look up uh curly cut or curly hair routine a lot of the time it is flooded with people who have wavy hair um, which I can imagine, must be really frustrating uh. What mousse would you recommend good question? Um? I love cake the curl, so I've tried three and I would put them all pretty similar uh. You know what I'm gon na switch now to brush curls, just because I really like to make sure I get consistency around the front area of my head. So I've tried this Marc Anthony strictly curls, which is what I'm using today I've tried the John Frieda Frizz Ease. I think it's called and Cake the curl whip. All three of them, I think, are going to give you really similar results. Uh, the John Frieda Frizz Ease, maybe feels the best when you're working with it um like it's going to give you a more creamy texture. While your hair is still wet versus. I find cake. The curl Whip and Marc Anthony can kind of give you flash drying, but you get slightly stronger, hold from Cake the curl Whip and Marc Anthony. So, like that's, why I'm using Marc Anthony today, instead of uh John Frieda, the joyful one? I'Ve heard good things about the joy going on. Okay, so we're gon na do a brush curl. So I take small sections on very wet hair brush through, if you're going to be adding moisturizing products like a curl cream or leave-in conditioner. I would do it before you do this and I would do your whole products after that's how I like to do it, but do what works for you? Okay, so I put it through the bristles and I start wrapping around the handle - we're not wrapping around the bristles okay, so we're going to wrap it all the way up to the root once the tip of the hair is through the bristles and then you can Either just pull through or you can start unwinding, depending on what your hair wants to. Do. I like to do brush curls away from my face, but you can do the natural in the same direction as your natural curl pattern. If you prefer, you could, which, for me would be towards my face um, you can experiment with that. Everybody'S hair is different. I, like the volume I get when I go against my natural curl pattern and I also kind of like the look of it going away from my face, but the first two years of doing my hair. I always did it all towards my face, so there isn't like a right or wrong do. Even though I used to tell you that there was a right or wrong. I have evolved on my thinking there uh okay, so we're gon na put a brush downward at like a 45 degree angle, wrap it around the bristles one time then you're going to start pulling it through pulling the hair through the bristles, as you wrap it around. The handle see how I'm pulling it closer and closer towards the end, as I do that. Okay, once I get to the end where just the tip of is of hair is going through, the bristles and I have decent grip, I'm going to roll it up to the root and then I'm going to unwind a couple of times and then I'm going to Pull it through the last little bit to get that ringlet to continue okay, and then we are going to keep working through this front section this My Curls are the sorry my my hair is the least curly towards the front of my face, like where my bangs Are and stuff, and as a result, when I just like diffuse it, they end up being very wonky like I'm, not getting perfect spirals even loose, perfect spirals, it's more of an S Wave that I just find can get a bit wonky and for that reason to Give me some consistency. I just did a tick tock about how to get consistent results on your wavy wash day. Um I like to do these brush curls just around my face. It doesn't take that long. I only have to do it once every like four to five days. I mean I do it more often than that, because I'm creating content for you guys, but when I do these brush curls around my face, I can usually make the hairstyle last so that I can wear my hair down for at least four days, which for me Is worth it um if it's not worth it, for you, don't worry about it uh, but it is for me, okay and then, when I get these like really small sections that might be hard to brush curl and maybe aren't quite long enough to brush curl. I typically switch to this technique here, brush coils. I think I've called it before um. I don't know. I just made up all these terms because I felt like people were calling them all different things online and it made me confused um. So I just like decided what I was going to call each of those and stuck with it. Uh there's no look Authority there in any way: uh, okay, so we're gon na go back to a brush curl. For this longer section I like to take pretty small sections, which I some people are like - oh my God, that's so frustrating but like, and it is laborious and time consuming, keep in mind. This is what I do so I have fun doing it. It'S a hobby. I don't mind uh, but also whatever size brush curl I make is the size it's going to stay in right. So once my hair dries that's going to be the size of that curl and if I make them too big on my head um, it's going to look very unnatural and I'm gon na spend all day shaking my hair out breaking my neck. Trying to get those curls to break up, and it's just not worth it so for me, it's worth it to spend the time on day. One, and just do these slightly tinier brush curls um. Can you do us a curly hair product giveaway? I do them all the time I just did one with a cake like two weeks ago. Stick around, I can use any brush handle or is there a specific brush? Yes, you can use most brush handles uh. Basically, the criteria is, it needs to have a smooth handle and you need to have enough grip so like, for example, this and also the width of the brush needs to be commiserated to your hair length. So because this section is pretty short - and this is a pretty wide brush, I might have a hard time doing it with this, and also there isn't great grip in this brush because detangling brushes typically don't have good grip. That'S the point, but let's try it. Maybe it'll work, okay, see, okay, it's holding, okay, not bad, but see because the brush is a little bit too wide. It'S it's losing its grip. You don't need to use a Denman brush. A lot of paddle brushes will work just fine, but I do find. I might have the same issue again now, but the diamond D4 is built with rubber backing and these like closely bristles that are nice and close to each other, so that they do have quite good grip. That'S why you're able to do brush curls with them, but lots of paddle brushes can offer you that? What do I think about olaplex? I think olaplex is great, especially if you color your hair on a regular basis or you have a lot of bleach or color damage, um or heat damage. Olaplex, zero and three Bond treatments are really going to help you out yeah. So I'm going against my natural curl pattern right now, mine, naturally all come forward um, but everybody's hair is different. So all you'll have to experiment with your own hair to see how it tolerates being brush curled against its natural curl pattern. I thought it would make a huge difference, which is why I went with the natural curl pattern for such a long time, and eventually I was like I'm just gon na try it and I did half my head with my natural curl pattern and half my head. Without my natural curl pattern, there was minimal difference, except that I found um. I had slightly more volume on the side where I went against my natural curl pattern. So ever since then, the other thing is, if you're going against your natural curl pattern, it needs to be really wet, really wet like right here, it's starting to dry towards the root. So it's struggling to hold - and this is this curl - is definitely going against the natural curl pattern there. Okay, let's keep going. I think we're gon na get some really good results today, but don't count your chickens, okay, so we're gon na do the back section again. If you blow dry after this, yes, foreign, the curls, absolutely don't undo for me and the reason for that hi how's it going um the reason if you have straight hair - and you do this - it won't last brush curls - are only helpful to uh the tiny coil Process yeah, so the brush curls brush curls are only helpful if it's going to just like add definition and enhance like a already pretty wavy hair. If your hair is a looser S, Wave brush coils aren't going to hold it's, not a curling iron. Does that make sense, so we're going to put the brush downward at a 45 degree angle and we're going to rotate it around catching it in those bristles for grip, then we're going to keep rotating and start wrapping around the handle. You only ever want to put the hair through the bristles one time, otherwise, you're going to be cutting the brush out of your hair, so you're going to keep rotating then as you slowly pull it towards the tip of the hair being run through the bristles. And then you're going to keep winding it all the way up to your root winding it all the way up to your root here. If you can just pull it out, you can do that, but if it is a little tight you can unwind it a couple of times. Do whatever works for you, based on the slip that you have, that hairspray is just water yeah, I'm spraying water to keep it nice and damp while I'm working with it because remember, there's, there's almost no product in my hair right now! Typically, I would add. All of my moisture loving ingredients first and then you could add moose or gel first. I sometimes like to add my Mouser gel after, but I wasn't gon na. Add any moisturizing ingredients today, any moisturizing products, because I didn't wash my hair today, so there's still some product left over from my last wash day: Okay, so um, you know what I'm actually I did that one brush girl, but I'm not even gon na - do brush Curls here this section can just be like this, give her a little divide and then Shake that's a technique that I learned from curls with Keisha. I think I saw her doing that and I'm like I like that, so it's really the scrunching and the shake that is going to revive. Do you scrunch in the gel, then High glaze, the gel in and scrunch a little bit yeah exactly, but I'm actually not doing gel today I am doing mostly mousse. Maybe I'll do a touch of gel, but remember there's already a little bit of gel in my hair from my last washet, all I did was wet my hair today and kind of like scrub, my scalp, I did what I call a water wash today. Okay, we're gon na keep going. I think we can do more, just like brushing in big sections here. I don't like to overdo it with brush curls. Otherwise we will be here all day. We'Ve already been doing this for like 30 minutes, which is too long. It takes me a lot less time by the way when I'm doing this on my own and I'm not on a live. So you guys get like the longest possible version of my hair routines, um uh. What leave-in products do you recommend that is going to differ, depending on what your hair looks like what your hair type is um? How fine? It is the density of thickness, prostate all that stuff, but um. One of my favorite leave-in conditioners, is by evolve evolvh and they have a smart curl, leave-in conditioner that has built-in heat protectant and is silicone free. I really like it. It'S a spray-on, leave-in conditioner um. You guys are distracting in the best possible way. You'Re welcome. Celine. Are you new here? I love when we got newbies hi Grace. Oh my gosh, my cousin's in here so embarrassing when your cool, younger cousins join your Tick. Tock lives. Okay, so I'm gon na put a brush down at a 45 degree angle, rotate the brush and remember, I'm catching the brush in the bristles for grip, but you want to wrap it around the handle. Otherwise, it's going to get caught in your hair and you'll have to cut the brush out. Okay, so start rotating around the handle. You should have that nice grip here um and keep rotating until just the tips of the hair are running through the bristles and then you are going to rotate it all the way up to the root. If you can just pull it out great, but you don't want to put too much resistance on your hair, so if you have to unwind and then pull through, that is totally fine. Do whatever works for your hair. I did a water wash sundae. I use no product and my hair was awesome. I thought I found something wrong, but here you are doing almost the same yeah. Absolutely there's you don't always need to add more product to your hair and I actually think it can be a mistake. To always add more product to your hair, if you don't need it um, if you're just doing a wet refresh, it's very possible, you already have enough product in your hair and you don't need to add any more it's possible like I don't know how much you Added and what products you added on your wash day, so it depends, but okay, we're gon na do another brush curl right here, rotate it around the brush, so I threw the run it through. The bristles start wrapping around the handle, as we pull towards just the tip of the hair running through the bristles. Then we are going to wrap it all the way up to the root. This is the dunman D4. I really like it. A lot of people also like the Denman d 3, which is the seven row. This is the nine row. I like the grip I get from the nine row. I think it helps hold the brush, but I don't know use whatever works for you. I think I already brushed curled this curl okay, so we take nice small sections. Can you successfully do a dry refresh? I do it most days of the week. So absolutely yes, I can okay, so we're gon na put it through the bristles rotate. The brush. Now. Remember the reason we do it this way is the amount of hair showing once it's run through the bristles will impact how grippy it is. If I were to start wrapping now all the way up to the root with this much hair left, it would get caught, and I would have to unwind it if I wait until just the tip of the hair is through the bristles, I'm going to have more More leeway in pulling my hair through so then I can wrap it all the way up to the roots and now I'll just be able to pull it out. But if you can't just pull it out, you can always unwind guys. You should never be putting undue tension on your hair, it's not good for it, especially when it's wet, oh, no yeah! So absolutely guys if you like. First of all, I have a whole playlist called Denman that you can go check out. That has a whole bunch of playlists um about how to do this safely, but the way I do it, you should never ever be cutting a brush out of your hair, no matter how Tangled your hair is. That happens typically when people go like this and they just start wrapping through the bristles multiple times, I'm not even going to do it because it's so dangerous, don't ever ever ever! Do that! Okay - and you see some people on Tick Tock doing it successfully, not worth the risk, so you want to put your brush through the bristles one time we're doing this to smooth the frizz. Basically, that's why you might do it in lieu of uh and that's why you might do it in finger. Curling is because it Smooths the frizz a bit more so now we're going to pull it through until just the tips of the hair are going through. The bristles but see how we're rotating around the handle so look if I was to get up to here and I couldn't get it like, it was not coming out. You would just unwind. So, under no circumstances would you ever need to cut the brush out if you're following this technique, it's all about using good technique. It works on wavy, hair on curly hair. I would say it's pretty unnecessary because your hair is probably doing this naturally, so you would probably you might still brush style, but you wouldn't do brush curls like this. It would just kind of be a waste of time. Your hair is probably already going to do this on its own, if you just like rake through it and scrunch, but on wavy hair, it's really effective on straight hair. It probably won't do anything. It will be less time consuming for you to just use a straightener or like a curling iron. You did it based on field, didn't have time for a full routine, always do it. Based on feel. I love that. How do you sleep on curly hair? I use a silk cap, but in the morning all my hair sticks up uh. I also use a sleep cap. I don't know what you mean by your hair sticks up a sleep cap is what works for me. Make sure it's big enough for your hair. If you have medium or long hair, you need lots of room inside that Bonnet or sleep cap or silk scarf. Silk scarf is okay, oh no, it is gon na turn. There we go and then this section is the worst, because I have a crown right in here, so it's so hard to over direct this in the wrong direction and still like get it to hold. So we are going to do a brush coil, where you literally just like, encourage the curl in the direction you want it to go. This is really helpful for really short hair. You, your curls kind of just flop, so it could be one of my first questions. Would be what products are you using on wash day? Are you using any sort of mousse or gel? Are you using a curl cream, because, if you're using a curl cream, it could be that your curl, depending on your hair, could be that your curl cream is too heavy uh for your hair, so the brush coil is literally you just catch it through like this, And you're just you're, just rotating it I mean you're, basically doing a finger curl except you're, also getting the benefit of smoothing the wet frizz, because it's running through the bristles okay and you just get that you can see how straight this section of my hair is Um compared to the other sections, so uh guys, if you're using products that are too heavy for your hair your day, two hair is gon na fall flat. There'S not there's no sleep protection in the world we'll be able to save it. If your products are too heavy for your hair, even if you don't think they are, if you're, using a curl cream or a leave-in conditioner, that is too heavy, then by day two you're gon na have no volume. Your hair is going to fall limp and it might even look a little bit greasy. So if that's happening to you, I would try using either less of the products that you're using now try skipping it all together or switch to a much lighter milk. Your product. Okay, so now we've got it. Looking pretty good, I like to revive the curl a little bit by very gently flipping it upside down. Um and I mean ideally, you would use a t-shirt or a microfiber towel, but I don't have one here so I'm using cherry cloth, but I'm very gently pressing my hair up towards my head just to remove excess water. Now I should have added my product first. So that was a mistake: whoops, okay, we're adding strictly curls style, enhancing styling foam, let it expand and grow. And how am I want to do this? I'M just going to kind of like dot it everywhere see if I can get it somewhat and then I'm going to scrunch it in okay, flip it to one side scrunch it in there's other ways to do this, but this is what we're doing today. I could have added the mousse ahead of time. I just thought it would make my hair too hard to work with, since I didn't have any leave-in conditioner. Okay, I don't know, I wonder if that's enough. I also don't want to make it too frizzy. Okay, we're gon na add one more little foamy thing: okay, this time we're gon na go upright, and I'm gon na make sure I get this back section. It'S so easy to not get enough product right on the back there. Okay, oh my God! This feels like a lot of moose, okay, okay. Now this is what this is the point when I should have Micro popped. I shouldn't have done it before I did the move so do, as I say, not as I do um a terry cloth is going to cause frizz again, do as I say, not as I do. I shouldn't be using terry cloth, but I'm doing it very gently and look we're doing what we have on hand here, because I don't feel like going to get something else. And I just want to keep scrunching until I'm not hearing the little Bubbles from the Moose anymore, which typically means that you have moose that is unscrunched okay. Is there an inexpensive light, curl cream? You suggest um, there's a shea moisture one that if you look at one of my recent videos on Tick Tock and on Instagram, I'm going through a drugstore and saying my favorite drugstore products and there's a shea moisture like marshmallow root, leaving conditioner. That'S relatively light that I quite like, so you could try that one um okay and now we defuse okay. So I'm gon na keep an eye on my bangs that they keep their shape in an outward Direction, because that's one of the big things that makes a difference for my hair to last a little bit longer. Thank you so much um, okay yeah. It does foam really well okay, so I'm gon na go in now, and I'm gon na diffuse diffusing technique is super super important. If you just go in and start you're probably I mean if it works, for you keep doing it, but if it's causing your hair to be bigger than you want, or frizzy or stringy or like kind of 80s, and that's not the vibe you're going for then. Let'S talk so the first thing that I'm gon na do is go in and diffuse my roots. There are a lot of ways you can do this. You can do a jaw clip this might actually work with this jaw clip because it's nice and big. So this is one option you can also. I don't like to do this all the way, otherwise I'll get a bit of a kink in my hair. But I can do this for a little bit and then I can switch to Bubbles just using where I kind of pinch up some of the hair, and the idea here is we're trying to get a little bit of lift towards the root before we go and Dry, the end of the hair, okay. This is also going to give the rest of your hair a chance to start to settle which, on my hair, I like it, helps the curls to start to form a little bit on their own. No, I use heat guys. I recently saw a curly hair specialist talking about this. This whole thing about never using heat on your hair for wavy and curly hair. What if the real golden rule is that, like heat, styling tools like curling, irons and straighteners, are very, very hot and can quickly damage your hair? The heat that you are going to get out of a diffuser is significantly cooler. Okay, the other component to that is for most of us. If you want to diffuse your hair, which you probably do and probably should frankly, it is going to take four hours or more to just use on cold heat. It just doesn't make any sense. It'S not even possible if you have very high Frosty hair that dries really quickly and is very fragile. Then shorts diffuse your hair on pool, but you can just use tea protections on your hair use a medium heat um. If that's what your hair tolerates and you should be fine okay, so this is going to be bubble diffusing where you go in, you pick up the hair and again we're drying those roots. First now, with everything I just said in mind, of course you want to listen to your hair. Everybody'S hair is different, has a different level of fragility. So if you know every time you straighten your hair afterwards, your hair looks dead and fried yeah, then don't repeat but make sure you're using heat protections anyways. This is a long process. I do this once every five days and I have bomb hair in between. So for me, it's worth it because when I used to straighten my hair I would have to re-straighten it every single night, because my hair would go curly overnight, so I'm just like body heat, so this actually ends up being me spending less time in my hair Overall, when I'm live, it takes me slightly longer to do my hair. Keep that in mind, because I'm answering your questions and yeah, but typically it would take me about like a full wash day. I could do in 90 minutes, including shampoo and condition um, and then I don't really touch my hair for four or five days. So it's not bad for me, um. My hair is fine to be washed every four to five days, probably every five days. I sometimes end up watching them more than that, because I'm making content so again, I'm just like drawing my roots right now I sleep with my hair in a sleep cap and you're starting a silk scarf and I swear by it. Okay, guys, I'm gon na show you a game. Changer uh. Lately I've been really enjoying wearing my hair in a middle part. The issue with the middle part is, I have a crown on the side. I don't have a crown in the middle, so this curl really struggles. She just struggled she's beautiful. We love her. She struggles, you know um. So now, because I've been drying my roots, my bangs are almost dry. So what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na pin curl not for the whole time that I'm blow drying, but just for a few moments, um these curls and yes, that is gon na artificially enhance my hair and that's why someone's, when someone says, is this: Your natural hair, I always say ish, like I'm, playing with my natural pattern, but I am enhancing it um, so we are going to take a pin curl, we roll it up like that. You want it to the o to be roughly the size of the curl. You want, if you make it too tight, you're going to have that tighter curl right. So the other thing is, if you are pin curling wet hair and you leave it all the way until your hair is dry, that curl might be a lot tighter than your other natural uh waves and Spirals and stuff like that. So keep that in mind. Uh you're, probably gon na, have to Pink curl it. Okay, happy birthday uh. So now I'm happy with my bangs I've dried my roots, they're, nice and dry. Now so now I'm gon na go in and do the rest of my hair. If your bangs are naturally very spirally, you probably don't need to do this, but it does give me a lot of consistency and it also makes the curl in my bangs last more days because that's the first place, I'm gon na lose curl um. If your silk scarf always falls off, I have a playlist. I think it's called sleep protection or protecting curls, something like that go check it out. Um, it is uh. It shows you how I tie my Sleek stuff myself scarf by the way. If you haven't hit that follow button already, I go live every Tuesday and do my hair with you guys and talk you through the things that I've learned about styling my hair, because I'm always learning new crap uh and every Saturday. I also give you zero dollar. Lady hair tips on Instagram and Tick Tock. Now I do it on both platforms. So if you have no budget - and you want to start taking care of your hair, no problem - you don't necessarily need a budget to get started after your hair is dry. It becomes very frizzy which hides the curls. What should I do so? Are you air drying, or are you just using your hair, because now this is called cover diffusing? I always have my hair on a high heat or my blow dryer on a high heat for this, because look it's like eight to ten centimeters away from the hair. So by the time it actually reaches my hair. It has cooled down significantly. Okay, so I'm covered with using - and this is going to almost mimic like a strong Breeze and it's going to help Fast Track. The drying of my hair, without disrupting the curl pattern and creating frizz Maxine welcome okay. So I do both sides and then I flip it to the other side. Air drying did the same to me also fully drying with hair diffusing. So if it's happening with diffusing, if your hair is Frizzy after you've dried it with diffusing, one of two things is happening: either: you're not using the right products or you're, not using enough of the right products or three possible things or you had wet frizz and That wet frizz became dry frizz or your hair was like stringy when it was wet, and so it dried looking stringy and Frizzy, or it's the technique that you're using when you blow dry. Your hair air drying can cause your hair to be frizzy because your hair is most prone to creating frizz, while it is drying so uh, because it can take hours for your hair to air dry. It'S very common to get frizzy hair when you air dry with diffusing, it's one. If you have frizzy hair after diffusing, it's either the technique you're using it's the product, or it's that you, the um.
