How To Style Curly Hair From Wet To Dry With Joslyn Davis

Did you ever scrunch your hair, like back in the day with just in the 90s and early 2000 yeah, we've come a long way like Justin Timberlake had the Top Ramen, oh yeah, I did too hey everyone. I am Joslin and for the last 30 or so years I've been flat, ironing and straightening my hair, but this year I am embracing the curls I'm on a journey. Thanks to my fairy godmother of the curly world, Simone Jocelyn, I am so proud of you and so excited that you're rocking your curls and I'm gon na show you and everyone at home what I do to achieve a really easy wash and go curly look everyday! If you aren't able to take a full shower, this is a great trick just to kind of refresh your curls. You just can wet them with a spray bottle and the reason why you want your hair to be really wet when you put the product in is because the water tends to absorb some of the heaviness of the product. So hopefully, what is left over is a really light. Effortless curl yeah, because you don't want your hair to be like so saturated in product like the 90. We don't want the 90s to call us and tell us they want their hair. So good. You can use a wide tooth comb or you can use a brush in the shower. For me, when I use a brush, I get less tight curls and then, when I use a wide tooth comb, I get tighter curls. You may want to do this. No, I have honestly no feeling left in my head or my mom doing my hair when I was a kid. Okay, like I said, I'm not a hair stylist, but I think I remember you start from the bottom and work your yeah, okay cool. It'S the easiest way to get through the tangles is when it's really wet and when it's like just conditioned and when you're in the shower plus, when you get all that nasty hair on loose hair on your hands, you can just sort of like well don't why Don'T even get me started on what the inside of my shower looks like after I do this. Is it a hair museum like mine? It looks like I don't know. Some sort of animal has been like molting or shedding after hibernating all winter. So when I started on the curly hair journey, I reached out to Simone because I feel like our hair textures are very similar and this is a leaving conditioner for mix chicks. That'S awesome for our hair yeah, so I just put in a quarter sized amount for each side of the hair, Merritt's mather, it all up in both hands, and then I just rub it on there and make sure that all of the strands are coated in it. And then Jocelyn can I give you a little homework? I would love a little work. Can you just scrunch this side that I just put the product as I've heard, it's called squish chicken dish lot twist. Chicken dish can't put it in the other side. Now the curls are coming to life scrunch that other side for me actually squish chicken dish yeah. I have to give a shout out one of the curly Queens of the internet. Her name is India. She taught me that shouts to India, my favorite way to dry curly hair is just air dry because it's less frizzy that way, but there is a little trick. You can use a diffuser so Jocelyn. Can I get you to tilt your head this way a little bit so with the diffuser you really just want to, but the hair and it does a really nice job, diffusing it on its own and the reason why we put it on a warm temperature and A low speed is to reduce frizz. If you go in there and you got it on a high speed. You'Re gon na get a lot of flyaways. You do want to dry the front pieces first. Oh really, why is that they're gon na be more uniform, because if you do that side, this sides gon na air dry, while you're waiting and they're so they're, like not even sister symmetry at that point, symmetry. It just makes me think, like how many people are out there in the world who, under their flat iron or blow-dried, hair or like treated here, have something like this and they don't even know. I mean I just looked like Monica on vacation on friends like electrocution, but I never knew that I could put together. I guess - and I think honestly, people just don't know how to manage it or what to do with curly hair. You really never stop learning about it. It'S always a journey and I like to say every curly-haired woman is a chemist, because you learn about the right calculation of water and air and wind and heat, and how all of that translates into the curls that you like to wear. These have become my two best friends after you've, scrunched and diffused the hair. You might still feel like I kind of want a little more definition. I want to like clean up a little bit of the frizz. That'S where these come in. Do you want a super tiny and then like a like medium sized iron, I'm gon na separate these into pieces, you're gon na take the curling iron and just follow whatever the natural pattern of that curl is so you try and kind of like just jump into The party and like fit in and have a good time that is wild boom. I basically only do this if I'm actually going somewhere. If I'm, you don't do this before go to bed at night, you know I tried to kind of make my front ones a little bit longer exactly yes, you're going for that, curly bang, look which is super in style and very cute right now. That'S true! I'M not quite there yet shout out to Sammy Mero. She just pulled off that look really well and I'm like wait so Jocelyn what I like to do and mix up the two sizes I personally like to have some bigger waves, framing the face and then just kind of pepper it in throughout, and that's what your Natural hair is like anyways and you really do get into a rhythm, especially if you're doing this on yourself like. I can honestly do this in like seven minutes really: oh yeah Wow yeah. I can do it really fast. That is definitely a major challenge of trying to learn. Something new is that sometimes this will take me like two or three hours yeah. I would love to do it in seven minutes. That'S more on-brand for me, for sure, can we look in this mirror? That'S over here. What in the world I love? This is the kind of wig I wanna wear I wan na like shave, my own head turned into a wig, and I wear this every day. Is that an option? It looks good. The last thing that we're gon na do is just put on a little extra product at the end. Curly hair loves moisture. This is Fito professional, fiber, paste, okay, and I just take a little bit on my index finger and then I rub it and mostly put it on my finger tips that way I can work it through the hair. So I kind of take it. Oh just to kind of give it a little more definition, exactly less frizz again exactly this is unbelievable. Really yeah. Are you pulling my leg? No, I'm not pulling your leg at all and truthfully every day my hair looks so different and, as I do this longer, my curl pattern becomes more defined. Yeah your hair looks different day by day really and better day by day. I think yeah, that's true. Are you conditioning your hair, a lot, not shampooing it a lot. Um great question, Simone great question like one to two times a week, I'll wash my hair and some days. If I feel like, I just want to wet it all just conditioner, so I'm just grabbing a little oil. This is Moroccan oil and just spraying it into my palm. You probably would want to do that rather than spray it directly on the hair, because then you could risk too much, and that is the worst for curly and then it's ruined at the end, and you just spent three hours doing it and then you suddenly ruin It yeah no not traumatized at all and with the oil, it's really great to get it on the ends, because the ends are always gon na, be the driest part of your hair. Okay. So now I want you to just kind of play with it. I really love the plopping technique that I just learned about yeah, where it really helps just sort of like bring your hair to life in general, a little bit more yeah I mean that is taking up the whole shot. Probably there's a lot so cute, though it feels very natural and soft and, like my boyfriend could like touch my hair without giving a pan like stuck in there. Yes, it is totally boyfriend, proof totally proof, no you're, so talented! You really are. I really enjoyed doing this. That'S the truth. It was so fun truly sincerely get over here. So I can look at you. I would not be where I am on this journey.
