Am I the only one who thinks Courtney's hair looks really nice in this video?

[luckychonk]

While I understand these videos are more directed to other women, I'm a guy and grew out my hair for religious & cultural reasons. These videos really help me take care of my hair as not anyone just can touch my hair in my folk religion!

My turnaround time for CGM was actually a lot faster than most people (probably since I didnt use a lot of heat styling to begin with). maybe 2-3 weeks?

I am not sure what Courtney did today that makes her think her hair looks bad, she is SO WRONG. Her hair looks great!

[dotsonms]

I'm wavy too. Please let me know what you used and did for today's look. I actually like it better... For me imo.

Oh my gosh I LOVE how your hair turned out today! It looks so full and curly and fluffy! Absolutely stunning! I was surprised when I heard you saw that you didn't like the way it turned out. I think it looks so stunning. You should do this look more often!

Thanks again for all that you do! Love you to bits.

Hi sweety! I’m italian and I’m a “wavily curly” girl! I started to love my hair a couple of years ago when I turned them red as fire, but I never understood how to stop frizz and dehydratation. Then I found you a couple of days ago and I decided to try your technique to apply products and to dry your hair... I just went through my first wash day and I’m shocked! No tangles, no dehydratation... what the heck!!!! My clumps are gorgeous right now and as soon as possible I’ll scrunch to see final results! Say Thank you is not enough but that’s all can write with my little bit of english! I’m so thankful for your

I think you forgot another important mistake for waives: not protecting your hair! We waives need to protect our hair when we sleep and when we put it up. That’s using something to either sleep on or cover our hair at night, that’s using gentle scrunchies to hold our hair. We can experience breakage and will lead to more frizz!!

Lots of waives think that they don’t need to do this because their hair is much looser but they couldn’t be more wrong!

I know that the curly hair transition takes a while and I kept telling myself that I knew it wasn't an overnight miracle, and I would reap the benefits soon. I looked at it like a diet. I didn't get chubby overnight, and I wasn't going to be stick thin without patience and some work. I needed to be conditioned into a routine. I can tell that the method is working because every wash day, my hair looks better, no matter what combination of products I use. Patience...don't pray for it, but when you have it, you are blessed! 😊💗

When I was at school I would straighten my hair to be dead straight every single day 😫 I hated the fact it would start to wave throughout the day or if it got wet. I desired straight hair like everyone else. Years on I’m embracing my natural waviness and trying to care for them to bring out the natural curl and I really can’t wait to see what my hair has to offer. Thank you for the advice from a complete beginner!! 😁❤️❤️

I think even something as simple as calling our hair journey a healthy hair journey or a wavy girl/hair journey can do so much. it subconsciously defines our goals as having healthy and/or wavy hair as opposed to reaching that "curly" goal. ever since ive called my hair journey my wavy hair journey I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and expectations of having curly 3a hair have gone down. ALSO theres a wavy hair subreddit that has been really helpful

[irairod]

I think these waves you got today are just as pretty and flattering as the more spiraled curls you achieve some times!

[sandyklingenstein]

Hey Courtney, I’m 15 months into my CGM journey and am pleased at my progress. Still figuring out technique and products for consistently good washdays but I’m having more than I used to 👍🏻
And I think your hair looked great in this video!! I know your hair is much shorter now but #hairgoals !!
Thanks for all you do for us wavy/curlies❤

[SwavyBlonde]

Thank you so much Courtney for making more content for wavies. It's so little information out there about wavy hair, we need to talk more about it <3

[sophiarocket]

My hair looked HORRIBLE for the first couple of months, and it's just now on the upswing!
It is definitely a challenge to stick with it and try so many different products, techniques, and combos.
As a fellow wavy, my curl pattern starts around ear level. I had spirals forming with my grown out, overdue for a cut hair, but it was SO FLAT! Since a trim & some long layers, there aren't many true curls, but I feel more like myself with lighter layers, movement, and volume.
Thank you for helping others accept their individuality, and for another great, helpful video!

[dm_lunsford]

I love my waves, even though they aren't yet as healthy and happy as I believe they can be. I'm still early in the journey (about a month), and am grateful I discovered your channel because I've learned a lot and have been able to begin with more realistic expectations regarding the points you made in this video.

[rebeccablake]

Thank you for your videos! I am very new to not just the CGM (only about a month) but textured hair in general. My hair has been naturally stick straight my entire life, and now, all of the sudden after having my second son and cutting my hair from waist length to shoulder length, my hair is wavy. I have been so lost on what to do with my hair and to take care of it and your videos have helped me soooo much! I know I have a long way to go, but your hair journey and so many others I’ve seen give me hope that I won’t be stuck with a frizzy mess! THANK YOU!!!

[kimhefley]

Wavy all the way over here, I have 1 ringlet and embrace it. Finally like my hair the way God created it. And my hair likes silicones, hates coconut oil and glycerin. It's been a journey 😂. And my hair responds really well to a do it yourself unicorn cut! People keep asking me where I get it cut lol and colored. I'm a wavey silver sista! Thanks for the motivation 👍❤️

[FormerlyknownasPonti]

I actually LOVE your look today - think this is true "beachy mermaid" hair 🧜‍♀️💕

[ALT-vzjn]

Honestly I love your hair like this the best! 😍😍 I love this ‘slightly deconstructed but full of volume beachy waves’ look more than the ‘perfect wave clumps, but not much volume’ look. It’s way sexier on you 😃
