@@saka3960Her hair is like mine. Depending in the technique we use, we can make our curls either 2b/2c. Because our strands are thin we can scrunch like crazy and get 2c curls easily ❤️
Okay, *thank you* in this video for clarifying that raking the product through your hair actually makes it curlier even though it *looks* like it’s going to straighten it! I’ve been consuming curly hair info since 2018 and whenever gals talk about raking product through their hair as a method, I’ve always assumed their curl pattern was curlier than mine so I couldn’t do that without losing definition buuuut I tried it after your video and my hair was curlier right off the bat *and* less weighed down with product than when I scrunch it in. Thank you!!!! 🤗
@@kendall8 2A- 2B. For me it seems like first raking it so the product amply covers the hair, then scrunching the hair to encourage the curl works best.
@@kendall8 No problem! Hope it works out for you, or you find something that does! @alyson lupo: real life+curly girl also has been an awesome resource for me. (She’s on RU-vid and IG.) And yes, I definitely diffuse - my hair has waaaay more definition diffusing.
I always knew I had wavy hair, but never knew I needed to treat it more like curly hair and think my hair has not been properly hydrated or taken care of for the 37 years I have been alive. I didn't actually realize it until I started watching your videos. I am excited to see my curl pattern emerge more and see how it looks when properly taken care of. Thank you for making videos. They have really helped me to understand how to take care of my hair.
As a 90s baby with curly hair, I’m a side-part-forever kinda gal too. I just do NOT dig the middle part on me - I look like a cocker spaniel. I am more of a curly/defined waves kind of person. But it definitely takes more effort, so some days my hair turns out more beachy-waves anyways and I try to go with it.
What is simply incredible is that I have exactly the same curl pattern. I never diffuse and let them dry naturally, sometimes I obtain wavy sometimes I obtain wavy/curly, i think it really depends on the weather and also which products I use.
You look GREAT with your hair parted down the middle; very classic 30's and 40's-era style (side part, too). That diffuser looks like it's going to make contact with other galaxies light-years away. 😳 🥰
Lovely comparison, thank you! It's given me food for thought: could style the top/outer layers of hair as a defined look, and the under-layers as the longer waves, to get the best of both (if the hair decides it'll do what it's told to on that day of course 😂)
I'm actually surprised that your brushed out side curled up more. I thought you must have done some denman brush styling with it before drying. I would get the total opposite effect, my brushed out hair gets more beachy and if I don't brush at all after my shower I get more curls. I prefer my wavy sections to my curly sections.
My hair is the same way. Raking product through pulls my waves/curls out, where as, if I just go in with product without brushing, the curls are more defined, less frizzy, etc.. I’m still trying to embrace my natural hair, but it’s a big change, so I struggle with it.
Love this!!!!!!! I personally can’t do the effortless beachy style because my hair is so long if I style it in Such a carefree manner it simply falls “straight” due to the weight of it🤷🏼♀️so if I’m not gonna take the time to do finger coils(large ones ain’t nobody got time for the tiny ones) I just let my hair be naked🤣
Your hair turned out so lovely. I have 3b curls mostly all over but I do notice that the sections near the front tend to be looser and stretch out into waves. I like to play around with scrunching those sections when I want more defined curls or doing more of a beachy wave sometimes. It's fun to experiment with different techniques and products
I love this so much! It’s so nice to be blessed with the kind of versatility we have with our hair! I am about the same way with wearing it mostly wavier like you!
I am coming to realize that I might just have your curl pattern. I am going on 4 years of on and off and trials and errors with products for curly hair and finally my air dry hair is starting to look like I have texture hair not just a humidity explosion. even on the weeks I have to wash my hair 4 days in a row. hopefully it keeps on improving to get to your level of expertise
I usually go for the more defined look, but as the week goes on, I get to enjoy a more beachy look! Best of both worlds! :) Also, I’m totally with you-I’ve rocked a side part since the 90s and there’s no way I’m changing that now! 😂
so i have curly hair. i always do the neachy look, but i personally prefer the polished look. but i can't believe after combing is straight it went curly using the diffuser!!! u really just hold the diffuser there and the curls come back 🤯
I'm a 2a/b with a little bit of c sprinkled in there and I usually go by the wavy, air dried way. I love definition though so maybe I'll try for the A side once and see how it looks :) Gotta get me a diffuser first tho.
Love this! My hair has been more wavy lately and I couldn’t figure out how to make it more defined. This video is super helpful! What kind of diffuser do you use?
@@كاتب-خ1ض You just have to be careful...but yes, there are a lot of christians who really love muslims and there are also really nice europeans who don’t judge a human being by the religion or the skin color or the race. I have on a daily basis a lot of contact with muslims and I can tell you that I don’t make any difference between them and the others. We are meant to love not to judge or hate or take sides. Hope you will find someone who is gonna love you just the way you are.Be blessed.
I have tight natural spirals, very small circumference (3c-ish). I WISH there was an easy way to make my hair look like 2c hair!! I personally think it's just so pretty & effortless looking. I don't like how my natural hair looks defined and tight, and nothing about styling my hair to try to look 2c/3c is effortless haha!! Love ya India!!!!!
Wow this video was so helpful to me!! I have heard of you before but never came across your RU-vid until now and am binging your videos!! I’ve had curls/waves my whole life and still don’t know how to properly care for them/ get them how I like at 24. I can’t believe the raked through side was curlier and had more definition. Thank you so much!
I seriously love your personality your sooooo sweet and funny I love it!!!! You don’t come off as rude and snotty at all like most RU-vidrs. But I love watching your videos and your so pretty girly!💛💛
I have always styled my hair in the wavy side, thinking that's how I got curls! I definitely learned something, but my question is, is there a heat free/ no diffuser method for the curly side?
India-gorgeous!! I am having issues finding products. I would like to use less sulfates and silicones but every time I do I feel like it’s worse.. I have 2b 2c coarse hair that’s in between wavy and curly. My hair tends to love emollients more over humectants because of where I live. I have cut out ingredients like glycerin and shea butter and my hair is happy. Are there any shampoo and conditioners you recommend that help an oily scalp with dry ends without glycerin, shea butter, and coconut oil? My hair doesn’t need protein it prefers moisture but I do need that balance. Smaller proteins work best. Good to see you again!
I love the defined side! That’s how I prefer my hair to look. I would love to know the brand of that diffuser! Mine is not that deep of a bowl, and that looks like it makes a big difference.
I wear my hair like the 2b also.. even tho it can be more curly.. I just wanna get rid of the frizz! I just can’t seem to get it just right without silicones. I’m going back to them.. only started bc I want my hair to look like India’s, but looking at old pics. It did. Before. Now it’s got a weird frizz outline. Not normal poofy frizz I’m used to either. After $800 of products, i am done :)
Can you please review a product that is clean organic with no strong fragrance .. I am health challenged and need a super clean low fragrance product. I love your fun upbeat personality. You remind me of one of my friends who has a winning personality like yours. I can actually listen to your channel all the way through and get a kick out of your presentation 😊
Im from Malaysia and have wavy / curly hair and the humid hot weather.Here relaxing ,rebinding is always popular.Every salon they LL ask me when I'm gonne rebond/ Relax .it's because they can't handle us curly girls.i love been reaching, rebounding my hair every two years.No more,I'm embracing my curls/ waves
You are my hair twin!! So glad I found your channel 💋 So what do you do when you have a bad curl pattern day? Sometimes when I revive my day 3+ hair, my 2b/2c waves hang weirdly even after rewetting/adding more product and diffusing. So annoying!! Usually that becomes a hair pineapple day or a half up princess hair day
I had the same problem! I started using a steamer for 1 min in the morning to revive my curls without wetting them. The controlled humidity really gave some life to my otherwise frizzy stretched curls. I hope you find this useful!
India, I have fine blonde wavy hair. Would the scalp oil weigh it down or should I just use less of it because not only do I have fine hair we don't have a lot of it. Is there a specific kind of scalp oil for fine hair like mine? Thanks so much I think you're terrific!
Hey! I also have super fine hair (you can only tell when it’s wet) and the oil I use is the red pimento oil on Amazon! I just use the tiniest bit through my scalp and massage that in, it shampoos out with no problem and doesn’t weigh my hair down! It’s the only one I use now, and I still get volume after. Plus it’s cheap enough to try, even if it doesn’t work for you. Hope this helps :)
Today I found your channel for first time and! and I was amazed how healthy yours and your mom's hair look, I have the exactly type of hair but mine is dull 😑 I was going to ask you what kind of products you guys use when I saw this video 🙏 . I noticed that you were using different shampoo and conditioner and your hair looked beautiful too! I understand that you are advertising the product that it's been sponsored but I really would like to know if it really works so I can order all of them (even if I am in a tight budget ) or I can have the same results with the other products that are less costly. Thanks
Dabur Amla oil is the best oil to use. You can actually see a change in hairgrowth in a month and the shiniest hair ever. I live in SA and all the Indian ladies use this oil in their hair from childhood. Go check it out. You get different kinds of Amla Oil's but the Dabur brand is the best
@s a Hi yes with time. And also how often you oil. I'm 54 and have very curly hair and very long. I do a mixture of oils cover it with a satin bonnet and leave it on overnight. It makes my hair so shiny
Purchased. Unfortunately, the discount code was invalid. The products smell fantastic!! Like men’s cologne. The curl cream basically straightened my hair. I could not entice a curl after putting it on, no matter what I did. I have wavy hair. I want to return it. But I love the pop & conditioner!
Love this hon! I first first noticed your middle part and thought Looks great!she is right on trend👗and hoped your Mom would make an appearance Lol I have been trying to figure out how to style the front to shape it around my face ,not look too young in middle and not out dated side part ,oh to keep up 61 yrs young still trying 👠
What brand is your diffuser? As a curly/wavy girl who hated her hair for far to long I'm learning to embrace it and maybe even love it with the right products.
Hi India, please do a first impression on the inky list scalp products. They have other product for hair too but as like you i feel like good hair start with scalp and they’re really affordable. I will be so happy to see your opinion
What would you do with hair that has a lot of S wave but some areas that are straight so it all doesn’t blend together. Also, how do you refresh your look when you wake up and aren’t going to be washing your hair?
Great video and you look fantastic both sides. I have the same wave type that you have but I do my hair on the tighter curl pattern side so that I’ll end up with the looser curl pattern side. LOL.
I don't know why but I really want to give up on wearing my hair curly I've done it for 2 years now and I really don't like the way it looks by third day. my hair is definitely healthier as no heat on it for 2 years I just don't know how to make it look presentable sometimes.
Hi....I love your hair but I think I like your personality more. I just started embracing my curls/waves since we moved to Canada 🇨🇦 I didn't really have a choice .🙃. I really need help. My hair is a total mess. I've watched a lot of videos and everyone gives different advise an recommend different products. I have a few products at home and others on order. I would like to see if some of these can work for me if used correctly before I throw it out.(stuff is expensive). I know that this is already a long msg but I really need help. I don't see that these products have protein in it unless there is another fancy name for it. I have very fine thin hair with a lot of frizz and my top layer almost always looks dry, tangled and dead. I highlighted my hair 6 months ago. John Frieda - violet crush for blondes shampoo & conditioner (1 every 2 weeks) Frizz ease dream curls shampoo & conditioner (regularly) Miracle curls - frizz taming cream and scrunch hair spray Verb - Ghost oil Evo - Liquid rollers curl balm On order - Verb curl leave-in conditioner Jon Frieda frizz ease dream curls styling foam.
Y'all... My hair been struggling lately. I just moved from Mississippi to somewhere with a lot less humidity and I feel like my curls just won't do right. Also struggling to find good products that will work but are inexpensive because I am broke
Jennifer Kenner please let me know if you like those products, I would like to order them but I am hesitant, I am a little confused wich products to order because she loves all the hair products in her videos.
I just want to run out and buy the products you present. I just have to be careful with the ingredients.. and fragrance. I tend to toss a lot of products if they give me a headache.
Eeek ceremonia did nooottt work for my high density, fine 2a-2c low porosity waves. The shampoo made my hair feel dirtier than before I washed it (I tried it 2x and washed it out super well). The conditioner added no moisture or softness to my hair, I noticed 0 difference after using it. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell synthetic and almost like a car someone smokes cigarettes in. Just a warning if anyone has my hair type!
