The time to embrace your natural hair is here! 🙌 What's your experience with curly hair?

[jennifervellacott]

I was waiting for the magic cut! How did you cut it? What should I ask for? (My hair is very fine and thin, and wavy rather than curly. It curls quite well when it wants to, but I don't know how to make that consistent.)

SHES finally someone who's gonna recommend products I'll actually have access too

[jessieh]

Love this! I have started to experiment with embracing my very wavy hair and appreciated the trial and error shown here.

quarantine in victoria has made me decide to embrace my curls too! i'm worried about looking unprofessional/crazy when we go back to normal life... you can never tell how your curls will turn out every day! i'm determined to keep it up tho, they make me feel more ME

Nice to come across your YouTube channel. I'm an Australian 64 yrs and have only embraced my curls for the past couple of years. I let my hair go grey which took a few years and is totally natural now and is just below my shoulders. I get so many women randomly coming up to me in shops etc and telling me they love my hair....which is so lovely to hear, without sounding vain. I just wish it didn't take me a life time to get here, as I have always tried to manipulate my hair into something it was not supposed to be. From frizz to voila it looks the best it has ever been.

4 years of being natural. Spent 100’s of dollars on products, lots of tears and frustration but so happy with 3b/3c curl pattern. Totally agree. It’s takes a time to work out what works for you. But don’t give up!!

The T-shirt method is amazing. It picks up the drips well without overly drying the hair.

[lydiamiftari]

Loved watching the process, great little hits, need more of this as we can’t get to hairdressers..👏🏼😳👍😊

[annaburns]

You got great curls, and you are just starting. Thanks for sharing.

[jennamenzies]

I love the Aveda Be Curly, its such a great product. I have been thinking about doing the curly girl method for a while and I think im actually going to do it now.

[Loreley]

Using the diffuser makes my hair frizzy as hell !
Works better just air dry

[brenrv]

33?? Wow. I thought I was watching a 20 something year old person. You look amazing ❤

[sparrovski]

I dont know why this showed up but, I'm in love.

[Sternschnuppen]

Thanks for the tips! I’m very new to this-have thick, course, wavy hair. Should you ever comb/detangle curly hair? How do you get rid of the strands of hair that would normally be removed by brushing? Thanks for your help

[pinkpop]

Looks great! Btw you can buy dedicated silk hair wraps/turbans instead of using the pillowcase 🤣

[soniasarina]

Oh I LOVE this!! You are first very beautiful. Second, it looks like we have the same hair (curly, wavy, thin, fine) and you explain it really well. The result is amazing. I am starting this week. Can't wait.

I wish we had more details on the haircut!

Try smasters technique. I have thin, frizzy, low density hair and works wonders for me. When my hair is 50% dry and starts to frizz I wet my hands and put a little of anything that I want this time. Gel for hold, cream for more Ringlets. My hair becomes more curly this way. Wet styling prevents frizz, but when my hair is wet is more heavy and less curly. By reapplying on dump hair a little product I have more than definition

I tried the conditioner in the bowl trick and it made a huge difference today! I knew about it previously, but thank you for reminding me!
