In this video, I'm going to be talking to you about the curly girl method for wavy
hair. I'll be talking about what the curly girl method is, how to start it, and
what products to buy that are curly girl friendly. That's coming up next, so
don't go anywhere. Hi, I'm Sandy! Welcome to another video. If
you're new here, welcome and if you have wavy hair and you want to learn
proper haircare and get tips on how to keep it frizz free naturally, subscribe
and hit the bell so you don't miss anything! So what is the curly girl method?
Well the curly girl method was started by Lorraine Massey and in a nutshell is
all about cutting sulfates and silicones out of your hair products.
This means shampoo, conditioner, styling products, everything. She explains all
about it, in a book called Curly girl: The Handbook. Really quick i'd love to know if
you are new to the curly girl method or if you're well experienced in it, let
me know in the comments down below. So you might be asking yourself what are
sulfates and silicones and why are they so bad for my hair? Well sulfates are
really really harsh detergents that are found in your shampoo and conditioner
and other household items like your laundry detergent and your dishwashing
detergent. What they do is they strip your hair of their natural oils and they
dry it out. They also leave your hair limp and they're a main contributor to
frizz. I knew it! So silicones are used in your shampoo
and conditioners also and other styling products as well, like mousse, gels, heat
tamers and all they are is a synthetic shine. It's essentially a tubular plastic
coating that goes around your hair and it prevents moisture from getting inside.
Now this is really really bad because your hair needs moisture, especially if
it's been dried out year after year using sulfates and silicones. Silicones
can also build up in your hair, and as if this isn't worse enough, the only way to
get it out is to use a sulfate shampoo. So as you can see, this is just a vicious
cycle going over and over and over of constantly stripping your hair of the
natural oils and leaving you with dry, frizzy and damaged hair. I'm gonna leave a
list of the sulfates and silicones that you want to avoid down below in the
comments bar, so make sure to check your products at home. Also, just because a
product says its sulfate and silicone free, doesn't mean it is. You'll be really
surprised at what you might find in the ingredients listing of something that
claims it's sulfate and silicone free, because a lot of times they're not. I've
seen such drastic change in my hair already it's so amazing and I've been on
the curly girl method for a month. So this was taken before I even started the
curly girl method. And this was taken today just a few moments ago after I
co-washed. Of course I'm still learning my hair still transitioning but I wanted
to share this with you to show you that the curly girl method does work. So now
let's talk about starting the curly girl method. So the first step in
starting the curly girl method is to stop using your regular shampoo and
conditioner. To do this, Lorraine Massey talks about two different ways. Option
one is to stop using sulfates and silicones cold turkey, but instead of
washing your hair with shampoo, you're going to wash your hair with a sulfate
and silicone free conditioner only. This is called co-washing. If you choose this
way you want to make sure to stick to your regular shampoo schedule that
you've been on and all you're going to do is replace your shampoo with your
conditioner, but make sure that it's sulfate in silicone free. In the
beginning you want to make sure to use a lot of conditioner as your hair starts
to adapt to its new way, and your hair gets more more moisturize you'll need
less and less. But just know that if you start off with co-washing
you're probably going to have a much harder transition....you might be
experiencing a lot of greasy hair....then if you start off with the second method.
This stuffs not easy, but it takes your hair some getting used to, so in time
it'll happen. Option number two is to replace your regular shampoo and
conditioner with sulfate and silicone free ones and you're going to want to
start washing your hair with these. Again you can stick to your regular schedule
with shampooing and conditioning and as your hair becomes more and more used to
getting hydrated and moisturized without such harsh products, you're going to
cleanse less and less. So I really recommend adding co-washing into your
routine after your hair and scalp are used to sulfate and silicone free
products, so give it a couple weeks. Okay so the very last thing we're going to
talk about when starting the curly girl method is what curly girl approved
products to buy. Okay, so the first thing you're going to want to buy is a
clarifying shampoo. You're going to check the ingredients to make sure it has
sulfates in it. The top two you're going to want to look for are sodium lauryl
sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate. Make sure it has these two in it
before you buy it. What this it's going to do is you're
going to cleanse your hair of all the dirt and build-up that was caused by all
the sulfates that you used. This is a very very critical step because if you
skip it, you're going to end up with gunky, nasty, gross hair. So make sure
you've clarified before starting out. This is one that I have, I recommend it,
it's cheap it's like $1 at Walmart it's the V05 Kiwi lime squeeze
Clair- oh my gosh, I can't talk! Bleh! it's the V05 Lime Squeeze Clarifying
Shampoo. So you're going to want to go home, take a shower, use this in your hair
and then you're ready to start. Now I just want to say you can start the same
shower you take right after you clarify. The next thing you want to buy is a
sulfate and silicone free conditioner. Regardless of which option you take,
you're going to need a conditioner. So I have two cheap options to show you. The
first one that I use is is the Suave Essentials tropical coconut. It smells so
amazing, it's extremely cheap. So as far as co-washing goes, experiment with what
your hair likes, different amounts of this stuff and how much you do it in a
week. The second option I have is the V05 strawberry milk. This is also
very inexpensive. As a beginner, you're going to want to make sure to buy a
cheap conditioner because you're going to go through these a lot as you're
figuring out what your hair likes and what it dislikes. Over time you can
upgrade but to start out I really really recommend using the cheap ones. So if you
choose to use a sulfate and silicone free shampoo in addition to your
conditioner, I have a couple to show you, and again check the list of sulfates and
silicones to avoid that i'm going to put in the description box. So the sulfate and
silicone free shampoo that I recommend is Shea Moisture curl and shine shampoo.
It looks like this. It is kind of pricey but one thing with the curly girl method
is you only need a very very small amount. Just keep in mind that these do
have natural oils in it and it can make your hair easily greasy. Just keep that
in mind if you go this route and get Shea Moisture. It doesn't matter which
conditioner you pair your shampoo with as long as it's sulfate and silicone free.
So just to give you an example you can pair this with this, this with this, this
with this. But you're probably going to get better results if you use the paired
conditioner with the shampoo, but it's not required. So when you apply your products
you're going to want to apply it to your fingertips only, just a very small amount,
you're going to want to rub it together, and then you're going to want to massage
your scalp in a circular motion. all around your scalp, in the front, in the
back, underneath your hair use the circular motion because this is what's
going to clean your scalp and get all the dirt out. I forgot to mention
something. When you're shampooing your hair, you're going to want to squeeze it
to get the water out of it. You never want to do this to your hair. You never
want to stand under the water and let the water just go flat on your hair
because this is going to discourage your waves from happening. If you do do this
always always always make sure to scrunch your hair back up outside of the
water to encourage your natural wave pattern. Okay, the next thing you're going
to need is you're going to need a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt.
Make sure that it's 100% cotton and you're going to use this to dry your
hair. You want to use a cloth part. You're
going to want to scrunch the water gently out of your hair. Okay, so the next
thing you're going to need is a good hair gel to use right after you get out
of the shower. You're going to want to make sure to put
this in when your hair is sopping, soaking wet, I'm talking like dripping
wet. You're going to want to find one that's silicone and alcohol-free because
alcohol does dry out your hair. So I'm gonna take it back to the 90s and show
you a gel that you probably haven't seen in years. I know I was so shocked when
this was on the list. It's hair gel by LA Looks. You can get any one of their brands
because they are all silicone and alcohol-free and what I love about them
is they're so cheap. So right after you get out the shower you're going to want
to apply this in a scrunching motion up around all of your hair and after you
put your gel in leave it alone, and don't touch it because when you touch it
you're going to cause frizz and when it dries you're going to see the frizz and
you're just going to be going crazy because it's going to be frizzy. I
will tell you that there is a transition period that your hair and your scalp are
going to go through as it gets used to its new life. You might be experiencing a
lot of greasy hair and if you're going through this right now, don't worry I
feel your pain, because I'm currently still going through this. Another thing
that might happen to you is your scalp might become dry and flake
off. This is also completely normal as your hair gets used to the sulfate and silicone
free way. One thing you can do is to use a tea tree oil shampoo. A brand
called Giovanni makes a really really good one. But know that it does go away
you just kind of have to figure out what works with your hair and your scalp that
it likes. Thank you so much for watching this video,
