Curl Damage: How To Grow Through It, Part 1

YouTube may compensate me for shoppable links in this video.

This tutorial is the first in a series all about curl damage and how to grow through it! Here’s what we’ll cover in this video:
1. What curl bonds are and how they are broken (or “damaged”), cuticle damage, elasticity
2. Types of curl pattern damage + causes
3. Scalp health – dandruff/fungal bacteria and tools sanitization
4. Style – three-strand twist-out to blend textures
5. Recovery regimen building – steps to implement

You really dropped a few gems in this tutorial and I love how you gave a comprehensive plan to tackle the issue while ensuring to mention that she has to be consistent if she wants to see improvement. We need more real stylists like you that care about our hair and scalp.

This video is sooo timely. I ordered my wash-n-go bundle on 09/04. I can't wait to try it. I don't want to keep cutting my hair. I want to try to nurture it back to health and then cut it slowly over time. Thank you, Mo!

I have structural damage from a few factors. It took me a while to figure out why I had high porosity hair but I think I figured out where that damage came from:
1. My mom putting a perm in my hair as a kid which made it break off, and just lack of knowledge on how to care for kinkier hair
2. Breakage from constant ponytails and high tension styles growing up and breakage around the perimeter of my hair from wearing cotton headbands
3. Not getting trims often enough and having split ends and knots run throughout my hair

It's been 3 years since I started learning how to take care of my hair and the damage is still there (my hair is more frizzy around the face framing pieces of my hair) but watching your videos has helped a lot. That elasticity treatment has already made a huge difference <3

Lowkey feeling like I'm back in hairdressing school with that lesson of hair bonds. Loving these new videos! 💕

Mo, you know hair. Her hair looks healthy already and the hair style you did for is very nice on her.

[LeahAllstar]

oooh I love this video!!! so much GREAT info!!!! One the only YouTubers I trust to know what they’re talking about! ❤ you take us to school every 👏🏽time👏🏽 !!!!

Hi, Mo!! I'm ready! I need this. I was just about to go to a salon to get a cut because I feel that my ends are dry and damaged. Thank you for this upcoming video. Love from Queens, NY.

Hi No. So glad you're back. Tried the Curl PrimDr on my partially relaxed pixie cut - hydration, shine and softness on relaxed and natural hair with a pleasant scent. Thank you!

New sub here! I just got the whole collection and cannot wait to use!

UPDATE: I’m actually blown away by this collection! Mo really changed the game with this one. I big chopped my hair due to heat damage a few months ago and since then my hair has still felt very lackluster. This collection might be a staple for my routine, especially the elasticity restore treatment! 12/10 highly recommended ♥️ Thank you for this amazing collection Mo!

Thanks this is the video I needed to see looking to purchase your products Friday 😊

Very well done, as usual MO. Once again, thank you for an AMAZING presentation. I appreciate you taking the time to share the process and helping us achieve our hair retention goals.

Mo, you did a great job! Her and her hair are so cute. Thanks for sharing this insightful teaching video.

[TheNYCgirl]

Hey Sade!!!! Looking fabulous as usual 😘

I just literally ordered the clarifier and the elasticity restoring treatment 10 minutes ago. I'm hoping the restoring treatment will help my hair to grow.

[LovingKatina]

Great video. Educational and detailed.

[rhondamorgan]

So happy I came across your videos. I am a cosmetologist and this was a great refresher. I do have a question: is it okay to use a hair mister/steamer with the conditioner instead of a hooded dryer? Thank you

[Neosoul_prima]

Baby Mo is about to blow our wig back again!!!!

[queenross]

Could the elasticity treatment be used on virgin low porosity natural hair weekly? I’m worried that the protein will be too much for my hair.

[biancah]

How can I reverse my high porosity hair? It was low porosity before then I started my microloc journey a year ago. I have recently combed my hair out and now it’s high porosity. I have not used heating tools and have not colored my hair

[jazelise]

Another amazing lesson, Mo! My hair changed when I overmanipulated my hair in 2019 so I have a damaged cuticle. I deal with excessive frizz, increased porosity, breakage, and dullness. Is there anything I can do to help my hair?
