my ~wavy~ hair routine (2a/2b/2c type hair) 

i never realized i had wavy hair, just thought it was weirdly fluffy/staticky, it looks almost identical to yours

Finally, someone who understands we're not all rich xo

You and I have the exact hair . Wavy on the outside and straight on the inside

Okay WOW i appreciate this video so much. My hair looks EXACTLY like yours when brushed dry, and I relate so much to the “oh my gosh, you have so much hair” comments at the salon. I kind of just do nothing to it normally and straighten it for special events, but I’ve been trying to learn how to style the waves that my hair gets when it dries. I honestly didn’t know where to start and this helped so much! I’ll definitely be doing some more research and trying the diffusing out!

Omg!! I’ve never heard anyone who has the exact type of hair as me!! It seems as if you were describing my hair. This is the video I’ve been looking for😭😭

I love the not your mothers naturals curl defining shampoo and conditioner, the shampoo cleans your hair while also leaving it SUPER moisturized, and the conditioner is also super moisturizing, they are my absolute favorite for washing and conditioning my hair

If you have dandruff it’s actually caused by oil! You might benefit from washing your hair more than once a week and conditioning your ends to ensure they aren’t too dry 😊 I learned this from a dermatologist recently

This video made me realize my hair is wavy not puffy lol

OH MY GOD I cant tell you how long I have been searching for someone with my hair type, I have seen so many videos where people have been like yeah my hair is wavy, hen its actually really straight or curly, never in between like mine, so thank you so much for this!

I think that I have 2a hair. When I let it dry after a shower and don’t brush it it’s nice and wavy. If I brush it it’s puffy but gets more straight like the hair in the video. So I’m gonna try this routine.

You literally said every struggle I have. Getting a hair cut is so difficult and being in situations like my hair will act up. And I think that out bottom part of the hair is different because of exposure

I have 2a/2b hair type. My hair loves the coconut (All White Bottle) Shea Moisture Leave in Conditioner. Working on developing a hair care routine! It’s tough cause there aren’t too many videos with our hair types! This video is a great starting point!

Hi Jenny, your hair is lovely and also so long and healthy! Wow! As for the detangling, the conditioner you have is one of the most slippery conditioners out there, so if you snuggle with it meaning you don't add enough moisture. Once you add the conditioner just add a bit more water back. Also if you get some nasty tangles then add more water and more conditioner. Usually, I end up finger detangling while water is running through my hair. My hair is fine and very dense and quite long too, so I really know what tangly hair means. I also believe you can get better results if you apply that gel on soaking wet hair. Try microplopping after and adding more gel before diffusing. You are most likely 2B wavy - same as me. A little tricks can help you have some ringlets if of course you wish to have them. Hope it helps

We have the EXACT👏 same hair; different textures in the same place, won’t get wet quick enough, taking 5+ hours to dry. This video helped me so much tyty🖤

Im in the 5th grade and my parents never taught me how to treat my curly hair I thought I just had wavy hair however I didn’t brush my hair for like 1+ days and all of my natural curls came out and I think I have the same hair type everything you said describes mine thanks for your help! :))

i finally feel like i belong somewhere lol ive been using the wet brush for years now, love how it doesnt pull my hair that much and it really detangles it

I am convinced that no one on RU-vid has hairtype as similar to mine as you. I needed you

Your hair is so beautiful wow😵‍💫, I think people haven’t seen the beauty of waves/curls yet. But I love seeing people with their natural hair so much, bc it just fits everyone so well!

"sticking it to the wall like a monster" !!!!! sent me i do that too

Omg we have the exact same hair!!! The video is blowing my mind because we have the exact same routine!!!!

your hair doesn’t look that thick it’s just ✨perfect✨

omg i have persistent tic disorder and found u browsing wavy hair youtube, waddup tic fam!! 🥰

So shampoo, condition, brush hair with conditioner in and scrunch upside down before rinsing, curl acrivator cream and plop

YESSS that’s my type of hair but it’s so frizzy and idk how to control it or how to treat it 😭

I have similar hair to you, I'm just older. Be grateful for all that hair and thickness!!! I remember a few years ago having a stylist "thin out my hair." Now I'm happy with all the thickness I have and would never let them do that again! And if that's your virgin color, never mess with it! Mine is that color, except with silver coming in as cool highlights and I love it! We're lucky, we can brush our hair and it doesn't get super frizzy or we can wear it wavy, and it looks good no matter what. Awesomeness.

idk if this is weird but your voice is so relaxinggg ahshhshs

U have my hair texture! Finally someone who relates loll

Ok Rapunzel... I'm jelly. Thanks for sharing. You may want to try As I Am coconut cowash once in a while. It's amazing and nicely moisturizing while gently cleansing. I use it wth my scrubbie brush and it works so well. Courtney has a video on it. Save your pennies and splurge on the Briogeo scrubbie brush. It's so much nicer than the Amazon ones :). Umm that's all I have for you today.

you have a sydney sweeney vibe!! your hair is gorgeous

My go to shampoo is Desert Essence. They have ingredients I can live with, are super affordable, and they have really great scents!

You remind me of ME in so many ways that it’s scary. LOL Your hair looks so much like mine except I am very new to the “CGM” so I’m not sure yet how wavy my hair potentially can get. Currently, looking like a 2A ... possibly 2B. Only thing that really turns me off with CGM is all the products that have to be used just to achieve the ultimate look. I’m a bare minimum, “100% natural products” kind of girl and the thought of so much crap loaded up in my hair all at one time does not sound like a healthy practice to me (😂). I’m experimenting around a bit and made a homemade flaxseed gel to see if that alone works first. If not, I may incorporate mousse into the regimen in addition (I did try it once earlier this week and it looked pretty decent, actually). Also going to play around with certain hair lengths and layers to see if it will help to bring out my waves more, as a more practical approach. But I absolutely can’t accept 3-5 products in my hair at one time, everyday, whether or not the products are 100% natural. Lmbo. I’m very interested to see where this hair journey takes me in the next several months. Thanks for sharing routine in this video!

I have a very similar hair type to yours and I cannot wear my hair up for maybe more than once a week. It hurts my scalp so much! I just got some thick bangs and my new routine will be to style my bangs but do the natural texture everywhere else (ala Mara Lafontan style). Unstyled hair feels very modern and cool these days.

THIS WORKED SO WELL

finally ! someone with my type of hair

i'm a guy and i currently have the same hair, and up until now, i never realised that hair routine videos can actually be fun to watch😂😂🤣

You have the prettiest hair i've ever seen. No honestly

my hair looks literally identical to yours, its super frizzy and the “my hair stays wet for so long” part is SO TRUE and thick hair too

oh my god first video i’ve ever seen w someone w my exact hair thank you sm for making this video i’ve been struggling forever because i haven’t know how to style it

I have 2b hair, yet mine is super frizzy and get gets puffy when I leave it out :(

You are so naturally pretty w/o makeup and funny too. Loved the video.

your hairstyle in the beginning of the video is so cute!💖

I bought one of those condiment squeeze bottles from Walmart for $1 and I use that to apply apple cider vinegar to my scalp. Def easier than pouring it and having it run into your eyes

The way your cat looks at u when u talk!!! 🥺❤️

we have the same hair texture!!!! i never know what to use or how to style and stuff it’s so confusing

When i was small i used to have luxurious curly hair which looked like i curled my hair using someone machine but now they rather look more straighten naturally , so here i am trying to get back the curls

the difference between thickness and density is that density is how many strands are on your head for example we usually say people have thick hair when they have a high density or thin hair with low density to test this split your hair down the middle and look at your scalp if its small it's high and if it's a wide parting its low density or you can measure the circumference of a low ponytail. And coarse is the thickness of the strand itself so if you take a strand of hair and rub it between your fingers and it feels like sewing thread you have med to coarse hair if you can't feel the strand you have thin hair.

I don't know why this video's thumbnail made me happy but I ain't complaining-

So relatable! This is the first time I’ve found a video of someone who has the same hair type as me!! I use OGX tea tree shampoo and argon oil conditioner and I’ve found it to be the best combo for the hair type!

FINALLY someone who has my same exact hair! I just started the curly girl method this week and it had been frustrating not finding anyone with my hair type until now. My hair is so heavy and thick that my waves get really weight down so I can't to experiment and see what works for me.

Wap wap conditioner killed me lmaO

This was so eye opening for me. My hair is just like yours and I have found literally no routines that would work for my hair.

I find that the Giovanni Smooth as Silk shampoo is more gentle!

I literally never knew that people had the same hair I do omg

I know I’m 10 months late and you may have figured this out by now but I used to only wash my hair once a week as well because it was too dry to wash any more than that. However washing once a week did it’s job and helped my scalp begin to produce more oil which caused dandruff so i had to start washing twice a week instead. It’s possible the same thing could be happening to you and that’s why the dandruff thingy you use doesn’t help because in this case it’s probably not that your scalp is overly dry but actually it’s overly hydrated which can be treated a lot easier by washing a little more frequently

Hey, i have 2a hair. I have one tip to not make your hair fluffy after brushing is to put hair cream/oil before brushing. Sometimes i put oil along the teeth comb to get more glide. Ive tried the scrunching with hair products on damp hair and I dont think my hair is wavy, its more straight but i have coarse bits on top of the crown... Ive thought of trying cgm but i dont like the thought of hair gel in my hair, ive never used any gel in my life. pov: im asian & muslim, need to wet a bit of hair 5x a day, dont think it will be comfy. The only thing im doing from cgm is putting hair cream on damp hair and sometimes scrunching it in. It does helps to absorb the cream & moisturise the coarse bits.

I've watched some of your videos and loved your personality,you're so funny and genuine,i wish i could be your friend😅❤

I have the straightest hair on the planet and I do like, whatever is the opposite of caring for it, but my little sister has wavy hair and I really wanna teach her to care for her hair when she's young

Tysm for this video! I'm watching this for my sister because for some reasons her hair is weirdly transitioning from straight hair to 2A type of hair, and my hair on the other side is super curly so I needed to get infos about it. I don't even know how her hair managed to change like that, and it's still transitionning because the ends are still super straight and the inside is starting to be thick and wavy

i lovedddd the result

I would personally say that your hair is more 2a 2b not 2c but do whatever floats your boat. It just might help if you care for it as if it were a looser wave and not so much as 2c

shea moisture is one of my favorites

Thank you for this vid. I always like watching how you do makeup and stuff. Ps, You are so beautiful!

you have really gorgeous hair! Thank you for your tips :) Also I like your personable and calm, but also a little bit clumsy character 😊

i just wish I could figure out actual hair type for me. My dark brown hair is exactly like yours with no product or care. just slightly soft barely there curves and waves. I thought from what I saw on some videos that it was a 2a type, but you say yours is 2c? Im soooo confused.

wait omg i just found your channel you’re so cute !!!

This is just what I was looking for. Thank you!

Dude, you are so gorgeous, funny, and have the most chill vibe!

I really like Love Beauty and Planet shampoos and conditioners, natural and not heavy and smell nice without being overpowering, especially the moisture one for wavy/curly hair.

I am in love with your voice

can i just say your voice is so soothing???? like idk i usually skip past the talking parts but not today LMAO

I thought my hair was just fluffy and frizzy.

You’re so cute! Happy I found you. I also have a mixed texture, from 2b - 3a and low porosity so you’re giving me LIFE now haha

i’ve never seen hair so similar to mine i’m definitely growing it out yay!!!

The "stream folklore" comment made me subscribe 😂😂😂💪💪💪

Gotta say, I have such a hard time with my hair, Either I dotn want to go through the process every day... Or it just doesn't stay. Due to it being sensitive because its light waves. Any tips on making ti less likely to fall out?

Ugh finally! One hairdresser was like “Whoa I’ve never seen this before! You have two different textures in your hair”. Also a recipient of the “OMG you have so much hair comment”. Also my hair hurts my head frequently.

I love your cat🥺and your hair

Girl, yes!!! Thank you so much. What do you do with your hair when you sleep and how do you style it when you wake up? Mine just turns back into a fluffy mess

Please tell me how you brush your hair every morning because I get sooo many knots and tangles just from sleeping

ur literally describing my hair type perfectly omg... this is gonna b real helpful to me getting my hair healthy thank u so much

I regards to a new shampoo.. I don't know if you have access to it as I'm in Australia but ai just use the Johnson's baby shampoo which is soap free. I find the lack of certain preservatives stops dandruff and it's very gentle and cheap. :)

Yay! Finally found someone close to my hair!

Apple cider vinegar rinse is bomb for getting rid of dandruff!

Thanx a tonne! Ur trimming style tip...helped my hair!

I know this is over ayr old but the way you described your hair was word to word how mine is you hit it bang on its taken loads of videos to get to yours i will even buy what shampoos conditioners etc that u use thank you x

Wavy girl routine Edit: as a fellow wavy hair haver I'd suggest getting your brush wet while you brush, using a serum while you brush (I like argan oil), or using a wide tooth comb and getting it wet while you go (this one is probably optimal) I use Nutribiotic shampoo and conditioner in the herbal unscented. I get it at my health food store that also carries the Giovanni that you use. I use their mouse. My health food store only carries safe products. It is cheaper than Giovanni and lasts me a month plus with a weekly washing. Your wash routine has a lot going on. The reason we can't brush our hair from wet is bc it is too fragile in that state. You're really roughing your hair up with each step in its sensitive state. Maybe do it on different days and not every wash day. I would not acv rinse the same day I wash and condition. This could be why you're seeing frizz and getting tangly. Try not to touch it too much wet. I let mine dry first and then brush it back to damp after washing. My hair does not tangle and each strand is smooth. I also like to scrunch with a cotton bandana bc my hair is long, course, and thick. It's too much for my hands to get it all grabbed. The bandana sucks up moisture too so you can spend less time under the diffuser or bypass it if you're not feeling it that day. My hair gets wet everyday so I can't be doing everything everytime it's wet lol. I also use sea salt spray or saline once it's dry to get more from my waves. That being said your hair is gorgeous and your waves are deepervthan mine. Kind of jealous tbh.

Not even 30 seconds in and you convinced me to subscribe lol

I absolutely love my Calia natural shampoo! I got the balance cause I have a sensitive scalp. I got the hydrating conditioner and I’m loving that too but need to order a bigger bottle 🤣

I used to have enough hair for 3 people and I complained then I got older and it started falling out. now I wish I had all that hair back.

You have beautiful hair!

my year is basically like yours, im happy i found someone

It is actually really bad for your hair to just use just plain old apple cider vinegear rinse, you would usually want to add water depending on the porosity of your hair.

Omgggggg I have found someone with my hair typeeee🎉❤❤

Came for the wavy hair tips, stayed because I guess I needed a reminder that I am not straight lol. No but in all seriousness you are so beautiful!

I love your hair. Your hair is soooooo beautiful.

The cat and your hair >>>

Wow my hair looks exactly like the before, I should probably try this...

Your hair is beautiful!

we have such similar hair types omg this helps a lot
