My hair is a mess of identity crisis The roots are flat the mids of my hair is wavy the end of it is just curly Idk how to fix it but guess i have to roll w it
This whole video felt like one of those infomercials where the "problem" never happens and the "solution" is something that no one asked for. Even her facial expressions change when talking about the products. Everytime she talks about Prose (& I wont forget the name bc she said it 1000x) she smiles and is so peppy but when shes on the other half of her head she's making "ew" faces as she does outrageous things that she would never do otherwise.
"I wouldn't recommended you use this type of cream if you have hair like mine" 🤔 and scrunch in gel "which you shouldn't do, so I'm going to do that" Its obvious this is going to be a fail as opposed to the sponsors 'amazing' product - it also doesn't look scrunched out at all, I've used products that have ended up like that but can be scrunched out. An altogether biased approach.
Just what I thought. I get that she was showing 2 different looks, one that gives her the look she likes & one that gives a different look that others might prefer. But you don’t know how much of that difference is due to product choices & how much is due to technique. And if she wants to promote a brand, a lot more sales would result if she showed how to get either look by way of different technique rather than a combination of different products as well as techniques.
Honestly as someone with short hair who gets volume pretty easily, I love the no side! I really go for definition. Ahh, the curly community is so wonderfully diverse 😁
Mine is really freaking curly kind of coiled even in places, then there's these random almost straight pieces driving me crazy. Between that and the frizz it's a lot right now 😂😭
this is EXACTLY why i didn't want to say "the correct side and wrong side!!""" because everyone has different goals and preferences !! I hope that this video helps you create what you want XOXOXO
Victoria same for me! I love the big beach look on India but mine gets so frizzy (even with a gel or even oil) and looks crazy. India do you ever get frizz? With the non-fluffy side, I would just be crunching more and flipping it upside down to fluff it up but then it gets frizzy. Such issues we curlies have. Lol. 🙄😩😊🤷♀️
I enjoyed what I saw but you give no instructions on how to use each product. Do you just apply it as you show and let it air dry? You talk very fast and I missed the product names. Please slow down, pretend you are getting ready foe a big date. And show us from start to finish how you get the beautiful look on the right.
jay hulrs definitely just know that it’s not necessarily “ WRONG “ they will just give you different results !!! So play around tmrw with some different methods and see how your results change 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘❤️
not necessarily.. yes she did take up quite a bit of time in the video for that one product, but the different techniques were still explained. Also, you could swap out that particular product for another cream product and could still achieve the right side of her hair.
It's honestly SUCH a relief to finally find a curly RU-vidd with pretty much the same exact curl pattern as me. Most videos I find are for super curly girls, and I don't seem to find many for us wavy/curly girls lol so THANK YOU for making such great content. Also, great video!! My hair ends up a lot like the soaking wet side, so I’ll be trying your way from now on! What’s your favorite gel? 💕
I had a curly stylist recommend adding styler to soaking wet hair so I tried it again but my hair just gets way more volume, definition and tighter curls when I style with damp hair. I do scrunch in gel and my hair does fine with it.
Will you do a video where you try finger curling your hair? I know you usually prefer volume over definition, but it would be cool to see how your hair would look using a totally different styling technique! I have hair similar to yours and I do it sometimes when I want a more formal "perfect" type of look
Omg its crazy how much the volume side makes your eyes look more lifted! But the other side makes your eyes look lower down which they look un even lol. And im not saying that in a mean way! But the way u normally wear ur hair really lifts ur face 😊
Jill Gerace YES !!!!!!!! Exactly !!!! I noticed the exact same thing !!! You can literally change how your face looks with your hair style !!! I totally agree !! It’s crazy.
Even after doing the cgm for over a year, I still feel like there is so much to learn and different techniques to get the look you want. I like big fluffy hair too but can't always achieve it. This video really helped and it worked great on my hair this morning. Thanks for sharing!
Girl when I first saw this I was like “damp styling?! Putting on products outside the shower? Yikes, not for me!” & I was cringing just like you were doing the “no” side but I gave it a go and my hair looks amazing.....will definitely be implementing this 15 minute wait time from now on!!!!
OMG, PEQUI OIL! I'm thrilled! I have never seen an international brand using this oil before. I'm from Montes Claros, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and the pequi is a typical fruit of my region, also my city is known as the "Capital of Pequi", and we have an "Annual Pequi Festival", with a lot of dishes made with this fruit hahaha. An interesting fact is that even the people of my city don't appreciate the value of this oil, or don't even know about its properties for hair use. The fruit is very well known in our typical cuisine, and that's it. I just discovered your channel, and I already loved it!
I am so glad that RU-vid randomly recommended me your channel. I started to watch your newer videos, but this one was the absolute game changer with how to apply my products and how I wasn't doing it in a way that was getting me the desired results. Apparently, I needed it spelled out explicitly on how to apply products, because I didn't pick up on it from just watching lol. I have super dense and heavy hair, so I always thought that volume and length were mutually exclusive, and they're not! Thank you so much for making this content!
Omg. Thank you! My hair looks like the "wet" side of your head. I needed this. I am still in transition for my curly hair but these techniques will definitely help. If you have any other ideas and helpful tips please share. :)
Bridget Ann I’m so so happy you hear this video was helpful !!!!! Definitely experiment with the different ways to apply your styling products. You can get totally different results just by how you apply it 🥰❤️
So adding volume on day one after washing my hair has been such a struggle! Waiting the little bit of time before applying my gel and curl cream has made a huge difference!!! And it helps cut down on my defusing time! I use several methods you use in your which has helped so much! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks!
You deliberately over applied on the “no” side to make the sponsored side look better. If you had applied a normal amount, you probably would have gotten the same results as the sponsored side.
To be fair, the topic was how products are applied rather than which ones. However, she should've used the same products on both sides. I've gotten similar results to these from the two different applications using the same products, so it still would've turned out at least a bit different. This would be better as two separate videos: one using different products (for the sponsorship), and one using different application techniques.
That wasn't the point, it was more like a volume vs. definition side. She applied more to make her hair weighed down and defined and applied less on the other side to show the volume. She followed the instructions on her prose product to help her get what look SHE wanted and then showed what someone else might do if there want a defined look.
I love you India! You taught me to rock my curls, for as long as I could remember I straighted my super curly hair. But now after watching your videos I wear my natural curls! So thank you, I love you♥️♥️
Omg that you so much!! I've felt so frustrated because my hair had no volume. I would do that exact technique of the "wet look" and I was not happy with how it looked. I want more volume and now I know how, thank you for the technique!! Can't wait to try this out tommorow!
This has got to be the most helpful video about styling I've ever seen thank yooouuu so much! Now I get why my hair looks so greasy and flat all the time haha.
Ive been married forever. Thank you for helping me understand my wife physically and emotionally. Never to late to learn. And your getting married. I love your common sense. Blessings from Florida......Bill
I think if you would have used a diffuser and broke the casts on the "no" side this would have been a more thorough tutorial. If it wasnt a sponsored video you might have put in more effort to both sides and not just prose side. Still a good video though.
Lindsay M exactly my thought too. The “no” side could have looked like the “yes” side with a little more effort. If anyone wondered, the tutorial starts at 5:25-ish. Before that it’s sponsored talk ☺️
The point of this video was to show how different techniques yield different looks, with one side being her preferred side, and the other being an example of techniques she doesn’t find effective for the look that she is going for. Doing things to the left side to make it look more like the right side flies in the face of this point. Plus she did scrunch out the crunch on both sides.
Finally, someone said the truth! You can feel that this video would have been better if this wasnt sponsored... At least use the same products if you wanna talk about the way you style😒
sakanade12 I’m disappointed too. Either use the same product and different techniques, or the same techniques and a different product. I’ve never ever seen anyone recommend to curlies to put product straight into the root and comb it through. I think this really was what caused such a big difference in the results (besides that she obviously scrunched her “good” side a lot longer)
😆 I do the Franchelli routine: super wet, denman brush, scrunch and diffuse. And I am heavy handed with my products lol I need massive hold I live in Florida now. I need crunch, because it breaks after I diffuse.
hi can i ask where you got the denman brush? was it cheap? i am trying the cgm since i want to look more put together and i always see people use the denman brush but its a bit expensive and i cant really afford it online.. you are saying that you use no products? (wet, brush, scrunch, diffuse) and how does that routine work for you? If using little to no product works well too then i might as well save money and try that out! Thank you 💕
@@amira2809 lol nooo I meant that's the tools and order I use. I definitely use hair products. I use a curl cream then a super hold gel. I got my brush from Sally's Beauty, they had a knock off for $8. Works exactly the same.
The difference is astounding!! I am definitely going to try the technique that you used on your fluffy side. Usually I use praying hands, but I have pretty thin hair (and not a lot of it) so even after scrunching I have less volume than I'd like. Thank you so much for this video!!! 💚💚💚
I honestly love both. Sometimes I go for the more defined flatter but sometimes I like the fluffier look. It depends on what my hair feels like doing that day cause my hair literally has a mind of its own 😂
Cool video and great explanations! Will be trying a couple tricks tomorrow :) My hair is a bit curlier than yours (more like 3a 3b) so Im always fighting between volume and definition. Only person I've seen with both is Bianca Renee (and I've just accepted her hair is a miracle lol) Also loved how Spisha gets a whole method named after her followed by laughter cause no one has her dedication lol 😂😂
I have two completely different layers to my hair, a tight curl pattern underneath a looser beach-ier layer. Would you use different products for both layers?
My hair usually goes in ringlets at the front and straightens down the back. Some days it’s 2a - 2b, some it’s pushing 3a. Confuses me so much. I usually braid it instead of hoping it’ll dry normally haha
Zaynab Mahmood Chaudhry It’s so annoying. Some days you just brush it out, realise you look like a sheep and put it in a bun. Sometimes it’ll look nice, and then you see the back. And theres always that one person who’s like “why don’t you just brush it and it’ll go straight”. Half the time you’re wondering what’d happen if you changed routine, would it go fully curly? But hey, guess we’ll never know lol
I know this was like 4 weeks ago but still hoping you girls will see my comment! I wanted to say that I was just watching a video before this where the youtuber had the exact same issue with her curls being different on the under layers and the outer most layers on top were more lose curls/waves! She went to an actual **curly** stylist who cuts/works with ONLY curly/wavy hair, and her suggestion was for her (the youtuber) to get a curly girl hair cut which basically involved her getting her top layers shorter so that the underneath could shine and stand out more. She said the reason the hair was doing that was bc the top layers were too heavy and were weighed down and after she got the cut all of her curls were more symmetrical (if that makes since lol) and defined! Maybe try getting a curly girl cut and see if that helps even things out? Just food for thought 😊
I’m like 3 weeks into my hair journey, my hairs kinda still unmanageable but on a good day it’s around a 2b 2c and even some ringlets underneath, these videos are so helpful, thanks gal xx
Yes yes yes sister. So SICK of the RULES that do not work for all of us!When I first started wanting to wear my hair wavy, and deva curl and the curly girl method and applying soaking wet products didn’t work for me I thought it was MY HAIR and I gave up!! For over a year! I started straightening blow drying and curling every day again. Fast forward to now, I know different techniques, different products, what works for my hair.. different ways I can manipulate my natural texture to get different looks - loose beach waves, tighter waves and curls ETC! Nothing is “right” or “wrong” ! No product is right or wrong no method .. life is not black and white ! The same thing will not work for everyone. Just posting this so if someone reads it who was in my position .. don’t give up on your hair. My hair loves damp styling, silicones, sulfates, brushing, heat 🤪🤪🤪
Great video! I have the exact same curly hair as you and I’ve never met anyone else with the same curls. I may be trying this product :) and YES to the Disney channel reference, 90s baby too!! Thanks again girl!
I've tried everything my right side is wavy the left side is frizzy and I'm glad I can't see the back, gel makes my hair crunchy and cream, mousse or custard makes my hair greasy frizzy!
If it gets out of hand you can try french braiding it (loose or tight, depends on what you want) after a shower. Let it dry until it’s only a bit damp, braid it and sleep on it and when you wake up it’ll be even. Braid it as far down as possible. That’ll keep the hairs that usually go frizzy down and it’ll look way more even. Most of my curly/wavy haired friends use that method too, it works for most. Give it a go!
I have a curl pattern very similar to yours and have been trying to get the "beachy" look instead of the defined curls...tried this method and it was a success! Thank you for sharing!!
I am a biracial woman with 3a/3b hair with 2c hair at the back of my head toward the nap of my neck. At the crown of my head I have some 3b hair. All round the rest of my head towards the front of my head, I have loose 3a curls with some 3b spirals curls. The reason I have to learn about type 2 hair is because, I would end up with flat string greasy looking hair at the back of my head with with some frizz, with a few 3b curls cover it up from the crown of my head. "Yes" my hair at the back of my head would look flat, greasy and stringy or frizz out, according to what the weather dictates. Whilst the front of my hair were the 3a/3b curls would look gorgeous. This is not good for me, that I know for sure !!! I know I have to learn how to look after my natural hair, for a change, instead of straightening it with the straightener or putting it up into a bun.
Loved this! 💕 I did a video recently using the same product, but 4 different application techniques and i was shocked at how much the methods in which you apply product makes an impact!
Stop using heat, silicones, and sulfates. Only brush when wet and full of conditioner. Check out The Science-y Hair Blog for a list of ingredients to watch out for.
Definitely a trim for the frizzy ends. If you wanna go all out, you can do the big chop and let it grow back without heat. But in the short term, especially if you don’t have many hair products, shampoo only the roots and scalp, and condition only midway to ends. Also, when it’s drying get a small amount of conditioner (about a 1.5cm by 1.5cm blob) and massage it through your hair. Unless you have product, conditioner will work.
Every time I looked in the mirror my curls looked more and more perfect as night progressed through rainy football game and more, I was watching this in the process earlier hopeful I could get some tips and referenced her funny PERFECT!!! And now as I look my curls look better than I’ve ever seen for reference I’m (42) 🙄, so seriously my curly sisters want some good curl this chicks got the rundown!!!! Thanku bunches, absolutely subbing now!!!
Wow. This was so helpful, I didn't realize how much simply the way you apply your styler affects the texture of your curls. Thank you so much for this ❣️
Ahh thank you for this video! All the curly hair videos are for hair so much curlier and thicker than me hair and it ends up looking stringy and flat and weighed down now I know where I’m going wrong! Thank you!
I seriously appreciate the work you put into helping us with our hair!!! Thank you!!! My only disappointment is I just washed my hair so I have to wait to try these techniques! 😂 And that I just bought a new styler... have to put prose on the waitlist!!
Well, I notice a decent amount of shedding during my conditioner detangling, but that's pretty normal. I think most of that comes from the fact that I don't dry brush my hair anymore or run my fingers through it between washes. So, the hair that would normally fall out each day just gets kinda trapped in my hair til I detangle every four days or so.
This is great! Just got my first order of Prose for my daughter and I and we love it! She has more of a curl than I do, but mine is definitely wavy! We will have to try the curl cream. Maybe that will bring out my wave even more 😘
I have read, watched, listened to every curl wavy self help, and I am like what? This made sense! You actually really helped me realize what the heck I'm doing wrong. I shall go forth with an education that makes sense. Thanks Prose. Thank you India. God bless you.
My curl pattern is almost the exact same as yours and my hair texture looks pretty damn similar too. I use essentially the left method 🤣 I’ll now be trying the right. 😍
I just ordered my first Prose products since I’ve heard nothing but good things! After 2 months of using nothing but Deva Curl, my hair is thinning and I am losing so much anytime i run my fingers through it or detangle and now my scalp is burning even 2 days after washing. Never again will I go with DC. I’m so pumped to try Prose!
Can i brush my hair dry before washing it, because it falls a lot when i brush it wet in the shower? Is it gonna ruin my curls or...? Sorry for my English. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 💖💖💖
Ana Djokic it’s completely up to you. You absolutely can!! If you find you lose less hair, then do that! Just be careful and go slow when you brush it while dry 🥰💛
Leslie Kuech you might have to customize the time frame and experiment. I don’t really plop long term after I get the immediate excess out- I dry it until it’s damp but not dripping down my back. 10-15 minutes would work for me but may not work for you if your hair dries quick/you prefer to leave your hair plopped the entire time
okay, question. How early must one get up to accomplish all of the wash day tasks? I've always been a nighttime showerer, but now as i've discovered the CG method i've started to shower in the morning. I can never get my hair done and dry and usually run out of the house with wet crunchy hair! I feel like this is rarely talked about in the curl community.
hey India! what gel did you use ? I'm finding it so hard to find a good gel without drying alcohols. Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful 🥰 I love your happy energy ❤
Shea Moisture is a good brand to look into. I have super fine wavy/curly hair so their Daily Hydration Gel (it says 100% coconut oil on the bottle) is what I use. But their coconut hibiscus line has gels that work really well for thicker, tighter curl patterns :)
This was a really really good reminder vid. Over time, I find that I can fall into some slightly bad habits for my wave/curl type after trying different products.
i just wonder why the people who dislike the videos even watch them.you shouldn’t watch it if you are going to dislike it i love you so much😘😘😘 keep going girl!!
Omg, I actually do the "dead side" routine but as soon as my hair dries it still gets really fluffy (and at bad days frizzy) bc my hair just wants to be straight up apparently. 😂 But now I know I'm doing what I can to get it a bit more "down".
Thank you for sharing! Now I am confused, many of the techniques on the flatter side are ones I see curly hair gurus use all the time and are recommended on fb groups for CGM. I will def try switching it up.
I have never seen anyone start the praying hands technique at their roots like that, but rather at mid-shaft. Maybe that's part of the "wrong" technique you were talking about! I have to kind of combine these two methods. I have tried your roping/coating technique for applying products, and I end up with definition ONLY on my outer layers, with pure frizz/no definition underneath! So for me, I have to make sure and scrunch my products in. I'd be interested to see how a Denman brush works on your hair. Instead of brushing your hair flat, you turn it as though you're creating curls with a flat iron. This distributes the product and also emphasizes curls, rather than stretching them. It is surprising! Might not be your favorite results, but it's ust another of many techniques to experiment with and demonstrate for our entertainment, haha!
Thank you so much!!!!!!! I’ve been trying to get volume since I’m started wearing and caring for my hair naturally. I didn’t know I had curly hair I just thought I had really frizzy, poofy, thick , straight hair. I really love the videos and your videos and other people’s video have helped me and I love my hair way more now. Thank you so much!!
Ohhhhh... eye opening video! I did all the stuff on the ‘no side’ while wanting it to look like the ‘yes side’! 🙈 Thank you so so much for explaining... just wondered if you air dried or ... how? And if you used some oil or product to scrunch out the crunch. Thank you! You’re so bubbly, love your energy 😘
Something i have noticed in case you decide to buy Prose products is that it seems to work better for people with finer/wavier and looser curls and that they dont work as well with 4 type hair. I havent tried it though so I personally cant give my opinion, its simply something i have heard from other youtubers or people i know :) Its a really cool company though, i have been really curious to try it. I’m definitely not trying to bash their products. I have heard positive and negative things about them which is normal since everyone’s hair is different. Love your videos as always India 💙
I've been searching for a video just like this. My hair is super straight and I have a 5 year old curly girl. I've been following methods and techniques but now I understand them!
Just got into Georgia Tech and one of the first things that came to my mind was, "Hey, India lives in Atlanta!" You should do a meet-and-greet in August or something!
do you have any recommendations for curly hair in a humid place?, the city I live in is really humid and sometimes my hair will have a lot of volumen because of the humidity and it doeesnt look good
I always used to do my hair like the less voluminous side and loved it because I didn't like "BIG" hair. Now in teaching my daughter how to care for her hair, I've learned to love volume and am encouraging her to do the same. I'm still playing around with products and techniques to see what give us each (our hair is completely different...mine if fine bigger curls like a 2b, 2c with some 3a but hers is a very thick and full 3b) the best volume, minus frizz.
LOL! I gave you specific instructions on how to use a diffuser because in the other video of yours your hair was so frizzy. I felt sorry for you! Haha! You do know how to style your hair w/o frizz. The Pros side is beautiful. I think that side looked incredible.
Do you put your FAQ bio-thing in every description? It's the first time I've looked, I guess, and I LOVE that your favorite color is yellow! It's one of mine too and so many people seem to be intimidated by it! It totally suits you because yellow makes me think of sunshine and brightness and warmth and that's the feeling I get from you every time I see your videos!
Hey I saw a video from a hairdresser (Deva curl certified) talking about how she's noticed her clients hair being damaged by devacurl(usually after exposure to warmer temperatures) products, I wanted to know if you've seen anything similar
I personally have not experienced any issues, which is why I have not addressed this topic yet( i've been asked before). As it has not effected me at all. But if you feel like their products are negatively impacting your hair in any way shape or form, stop using them and reach out to their customer service immediately !! I just have not experienced this.
@@ErikaRodriguez-jr3qb yeah :( I got one of the leave in conditioners and I didn't notice a huge difference until I went into a hot pool and my hair was so tangely and dry after (which hadn't happened before). I'm probably going to return it and wait a bit before hopefully repurchasing
Erika Rodriguez Soultanicals is a much more natural brand than Shea Moisture.. Their deep conditioners are all about Ayurvedic herbs that focus on hair growth.
Deva puts so much damn glycerin in most of their products I end up with frizz for days. It’s a shame because it smells so good and has the potential to be great quality.
I'd love to see a video on how to know if your hair needs protein or not. Total newbie in learning how to deal with my curls and trying to figure out which products are best for my hair. Thanks for this styler application video. It is incredibly helpful!
My hair has never been curly until this year. I've been looking for someone that has similar hair to mine and yours is identical! Thank you for all the tips! ❤
*India I NEED you to try a method a girl on tiktok did. She basically put her hair on a satin bonet and she used a blow dryer to give the hair volume over the satin bonet. She didn’t use any diffuser. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TRY THIS! I wanna know if it’s worth it or how it will come out since your hair texture is similar to mine.* Ps. Sorry for my bad english, it’s not my first language.
Sparks Fly caucasian hair i think?😂 and for me i just wash my hair with shampoo and after the shower i spray a conditioning spray in my hair if that makes sense? And i let it air dry
luna 335 Wait, so you don’t even use conditioner in the shower? Weird lol Theres a slight difference between straight asian and straight caucasian hair. Namely that caucasian hair is much dryer, and sometimes the hair strands are thinner.
Sparks Fly yeah i am not an expert about different hairtypes😅 but i noticed that my hair doesn’t need that much moisture that you would get in a conditioner but a lot of products work on my hair since it doesn’t really need much product to look fine
I've been wondering what I've been doing wrong as to why my hair has seemed so flat. I'm going to try and start waiting to put my stylers in, instead of putting them in immediately after I get out of the shower
I have days I wanna shave my head & I did do a fade but the growing out process is haunting me now. I have like 3 different curly hair patterns so I get lazy & the weather is the WORST. Bless you India cause ima try this method and ima pray it works out 😭
I’m going to try applying my gel differently and wait a bit before applying and see if that makes a difference. This was really helpful and advice I haven’t seen in the 1M other videos!
Thankyou sweet girl. This is the first time I've seen anyone show us the same product. Used very differently. Thankyou fir showing me everything I am doing wrong. Now I can't wait to try some of these ideas . Love you so much girl.
