WEBVTT - 💥 Debunking Curly Hair Myths 💥

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey, beauties, It's Jamie Joe and Jesse Massu and welcome

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to Skimfluence, a podcast dedicated to beauty, fashion and self love,

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>turning your weakness into your uniqueness. Before we get started,

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.159
<v Speaker 1>we'd like to acknowledge the custodians of the land on

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>which we record the gadical people of the Eoronation.

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 2>In today's episode, we are debunking curly girl myths. There

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>is so much misinformation out there surrounding curly hair and

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 2>curly hair care, and we are so.

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Sick of it. So let's put some of these myths

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to bed and give you all the correct information for

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>your curly hair.

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Let's go. I love talking about curly hair. Yeah, me too.

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that actually, oh really, I've only done

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>it for the last seven years.

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, guys.

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>There are so many curly myths, and honestly, they really

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>frustrate me because it just makes curly hair seem so

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>complicated and it doesn't need to.

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Be that complicated. I know, it's just hair.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>So the first myth, and the biggest myth for curly

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>hair is that you have to be using the curly

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.639
<v Speaker 1>girl method. And this is not true. This is false,

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and we have to debunk this. The Curly Girl Method

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>is basically something that was formulated quite a while ago,

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>i'd say in the twenty tens, to help women and

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>people with curly hair learn how to use their curls

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>or learn how to do their hair effectively. But it

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>is just a little bit dated and it's not one

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>size fits all. So the Curly Girl Method has a

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of dooze and don'ts Jesse, let's hop into them,

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>let's read them out.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 2>So here are a couple of the don'ts, and it's

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 2>don't wash your hair too much, don't use any shampoos

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.559
<v Speaker 2>that contain sulfates or silicones, don't brush or CoNb your hair,

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>as this pulls out the hair's natural curl pattern, so

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 2>instead you're gonna run your fingers through your hair to

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>brush it out.

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 3>And then some of the doos are to co.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Wash, to use Curly Girl approved products, and to use

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 2>moisturizers that have like alavira and flaxeed in it.

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So in terms of the Curly Girl approved products,

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>this would look like a range coming out with no alcohol,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>no silicones, no sulfates, and usually it doesn't have any

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>shampoo in the range.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like the no Pooh shampoo.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so the no Pooh method kind of came out

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>of this curly Girl method, and they are both things

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that we just must stop.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 3>Doing as curly girls.

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because what's marketed as something for curly hair may

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>actually be detrimental to your curls, which is a crazy

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 2>thing to think about.

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that this method, the curly Girl movement method,

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>is really great for coily and kinky hair. But let's

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about why it is a myth and why we

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be doing it if we don't have kinky or

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>coily hair. So number one, using no shampoo for curls

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>is the biggest myth.

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Ever.

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>This is not going to make your curls any better

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>at all. It's actually going to make them so much worse.

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>It leads to product build up, It leads to hair loss,

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>It leads to a dirty and flaking, itchy scalp, which

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 2>is like affecting the environment that your scalp has and

0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 2>therefore your curls.

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, if you're.

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Hair is not growing, if you've noticed a significant change

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.839
<v Speaker 1>in your curl pattern, it probably is because you've cut

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>out shampoo. So when you're listening to and following you

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>know influencers and people who are promoting the Curly Girl

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 1>movement method, what this routine would look like is first

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you would use a co wash product, So this is

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of a blend between a conditioner and a shampoo,

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't have any of the stripping so called

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>stripping properties that a regular shampoo would have. So it's

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be better for your curls because it is

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>more hydrating and it doesn't kind of strip the natural

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>oils instead.

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Was what is it doing now?

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Like I said before, it's actually like causing a lot

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>of product build up and then your hair can't reach

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 2>its full potential. Your curls can't form because it's so dirty,

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>essentially limp.

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 3>It has so much product builds lifeless.

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it really affects, like product build up for curly

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>hair really affects the overall look and health of your hair.

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's really not spoken about enough. The Curly Girl

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>method promotes using really thick and heavy products all the time,

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and alongside that, it promotes not cleansing your hair properly.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>So how do those two things marry? If you've got

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>finer textured.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what about the curls with load to medium density curls? Like,

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>that's not going to work for you. It's just not

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna make your curls like die.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Basically, instead of using a Curly Girl approved range that

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you know doesn't have a good shampoo, we really suggest

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>using a good shampoo. So this is a really great

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>range that me and Jesse have been using ever since

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>we transitioned from wearing our hair straight and straightened to

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>wearing our natural curls.

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>And this product line that we recommend is from CPR.

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>It's their Curly Solution quad pack and it's only seventy

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>eight dollars ninety five from Oz Hair and Beauty. But

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>this is for a whole pack. You've got shampoo, conditioner,

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and does it also come with.

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 3>It's got a treatment, and it also has a styling product.

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Which is just incredible. Like you compare that to like

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>a foundation you buy exactly six seventy dollars, But you

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>can buy a whole hair range for curls, which is

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>like another myth that we just busted because it's like

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>people say that it's expensive to care for your curls.

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's why it's easier to strain in your hair.

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 3>And that's just not true, it's not at all.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that it seems like curly hair is not accessible,

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>like products for curly hair are not accessible, But that's

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>really changed in the last few years, which is an

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 1>amazing thing to see.

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>So that's a big myth.

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>And if you're using that as an excuse.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 3>To not where your hair curly, yeah you are got out.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Also underneath this, what like picks my brain the most

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>is the fact that they say no detangling with a brush,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 2>like use your fingers.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean? I'm sorry, but like.

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe you can brush straight hair with your fingers,

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 2>but no curly hair can be brushed with your finger.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It's such an obscene thing to even think about. My

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>hair gets so knotty and gets a lot of micro knots,

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 1>especially because of the length because of you know, obviously

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>textured hair. So the thought of not using a correct

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>brush to comb through your hair just sounds insane because

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 1>your fingers are going to pull so much of your

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>hair out and they're not even going to get all

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the knots out exactly.

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>So a brush that me and Jamie use in the

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 2>shower that we highly recommend is the Ugly Swan Wet

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>screen free hair brush, and this is thirty five dollars. Honestly,

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>this has reduced the amount of hair fallout in the shower,

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>but it really does help to get rid of the

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 2>knots and it reduces the amount of time I'm detangling

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>my hair.

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 3>For the brush that you use.

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Is actually super important, especially for detangling, and this brush

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit flexible, so it kind of works

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>with your hair better than being a very stiff traditional

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>hair brush that you know, we always see the hair

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>brush snapping with oily hair.

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 3>I've actually had that happen before, so this is a

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 3>really great brush for that.

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>If you have kinky or coily hair, I highly suggest

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 1>just an afrocomb.

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 3>They are super cheap.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>You can get them from any dollar store, and this

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>is going to be great for detangling and picking out dreads.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Or coils that you want to get rid of.

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 1>One range which we've spoken about heaps, which we absolutely

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 1>love and it's so affordable, is the Treasumet Curl shampoo

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and conditioner, and they've also.

0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 3>Got the little Serum oil.

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Well. You can get each product for around fifteen to

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty dollars depending on the sale. So you could literally

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.239
<v Speaker 1>get a shampoo and a conditioner both for thirty bucks.

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>That is very afford afordable. Yeah, so stop using that

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>as an excuse. It doesn't have to be expensive to

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 1>manage curls.

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I actually would vouch the opposite.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's more expensive if you go down the

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>route of straightening in your hair, because where does that

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>lead you.

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 3>You straighten your hair, you kill your curls, and then

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh no, my hair's dead. I need to

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 3>get a cut, I need to get a treatment.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I need to pay for like less damaging straight Now,

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>let me buy the dice and four hundred and fifty.

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Dollars later, I have much stuff. It's more than that.

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh how much is it? I'm pretty sure it's like

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 3>sixty six.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Hundred dollars later. And you're telling me that it's more

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>expensive to care for your curls. Girls, stop lying to yourself.

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 3>It's true.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.239
<v Speaker 1>You just need to spend a little bit of time,

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting rid of that heat damage.

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 3>But there is so much I love that.

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>There is like a lot more affordable ranges and they

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>are great. And the thing is with going back to

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the curly girl movement before, these brands are kind of

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>ripping you when they tagline, when they stick on curly

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Girl movement approved, it's kind of like it's like how

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>brand's greenwash. They're now like c washing. Curly girls don't

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>need to be spending that much money for products that

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>aren't as effective with your hair.

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Which brings us to another myth.

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 2>And this myth is that you can only use products

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>that are curly girl branded.

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that a cur like that are specifically you know,

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 1>made for curly girls. Yeah, but it's not even that

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>they're made they're just mucked for curly girls. And that's

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>false because I know for me that in my own routine,

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I've got two products that aren't specifically designed for curly

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>hair but just works so incredibly.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Well for me. And that's my shampoo and that's the

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 3>Moose I'm using.

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 2>So that just proves that you don't just need to

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 2>be going for even just a curly Moose or a

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 2>no Pooh shampoo.

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 3>You don't need to do that.

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think that finding products that work for you

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 1>can be super versatile and doesn't have to slot into

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, these specific categories. One of my absolute favorite

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>products of all time is not marketed for curly hair

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>at all. It's just marketed for all hair types. And

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it is a literally an award winning product by Natalie

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's a prep and play hair cream. It is

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>more on the pricey side, it's fifty two dollars, but

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it's so versatile. I'll use this for a slick hairstyle.

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll use this if I'm blow drying my hair straight.

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll use this if I'm refreshing my curls.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 3>It's just so versatile.

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Love versatile, exactly, and that's really good to invest in

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>rather than, you know, one specific curl product that is

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>damaging your hair just because it says it's sulfate free.

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk a little bit more about kind

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>of the no shampoo though. Yeah, I think with you know,

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>with products that are marketed to be sulfate free, sometimes

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>sulfates is actually good for your hair, especially if you

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>are a curly girl, because we need to be getting

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>rid of all that product build up. And that is

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>why I recommended the CPR Curly Solutions Quad Pack. These

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>aren't necessarily products that have you know, they have silicones

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and they have sulfates, but they work so well to

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>care for your curly hair. So it just shows that

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you can have a whole bunch of different products and

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>different ranges that don't fit into the curly girl method.

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 3>That work well for curls.

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>This is what we suggest to so many people if

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>they're starting their curly hair journey because it is affordable,

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>but it just creates incredible results. And this is something

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>we always keep in our hair regym.

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's always like that go to stable product that

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>if your hair's going through the works, go back to

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the CIPR, like create that baseline and then like work

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 2>your way back up from there.

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think a funny myth is that all curly

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 3>hair is thick. I think it's such a silly myth.

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>People always say to me, oh my gosh, you have

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 1>you have really thick hair, and then they'll see me

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>wearing like a slick back, you know bun, you know,

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a clean girl bum, and they're like, how do you

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 1>get all your hair in that bun?

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 3>It's not that thick. Yeah, I've actually got really thin hair.

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we both have like finer density curls, and that

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>again goes to show that you don't need to be

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>using thick pomades, thick gel, thick creams, because that is

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 1>not effective for all curl types. It's really funny to

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.959
<v Speaker 1>see brands like slapping this curly Girl method onto products

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>just catered for one type of curls. There are so

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>many different types of curls.

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, so we'll try again, brands.

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Tragan. Another myth that we both find hilarious is that

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the big chop is going to be your saving grace

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to fix your curls.

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 3>It's not. I've done it, I've been there. It didn't work.

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 3>We both did it at the same time.

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right before Italy, and that was tragic. One was

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>ugly in Italy because our hair was so limp.

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>So what we both decided to do was, at that

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>time we were both struggling with curl texture. Our hair

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.719
<v Speaker 1>wasn't bouncing up as much, our curls were not as

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>tight and coily as they used to be, so we thought, oh,

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone always talks about the big chop being the solution.

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.199
<v Speaker 1>We thought that if we cut our hair it would bring.

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 3>That bounce back to it. It did no bounce. There

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 3>was no bounce. It was just sad limp hair. Yeah,

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 3>just shorter now. Yeah.

0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>One thing that we do do when our hair is

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 2>doo doo doo, when our hair is starting to feel

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>and look a little bit limp, is we'll use a

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>protein treatment for our hair in the shower, and that

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 2>oftentimes does sort of help the curls bring back life

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 2>into it.

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Definitely does.

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 1>So if you are thinking that the big top is

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 1>a solution, and say you have healthy hair, your hair

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>is healthy, it's not going to do anything at all.

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to bring back your curl pattern. All

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it's going to do is just you know, change the

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>shape of your hair. Now, when we do suggest to

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>do the big chop is if you have heat damaged

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>hair and say the end of your hair is dead

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>straight and scraggly.

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Because you got keratin treatment, like that needs to go

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Exactly you.

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Need to chop those bits off.

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Say you've got curls growing out of your scalp and

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>then from like your chin down it's straight.

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, obviously, chop them off, chop them.

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Off, but besides that, it's really not necessary. Okay, one more,

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I have another myth okay that you need to frequently

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>be trimming your curls so that it grows more.

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that one upsets me because I like fed into

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 2>that for way too long.

0:12:58.240 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Guys, your hair grows from the top of your hair,

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.199
<v Speaker 1>not from the bottom.

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 2>If your hair is healthy and your agen is good

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 2>for your hair, you should be like the hair density

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 2>from the top of the strand to the bottom of

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the strand shouldn't change too much from between your cuts,

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and therefore you don't have to have as many cuts.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't need one every three months. That's absolutely ridiculous.

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>If you're trying to grow out your curls, what you

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>do need to do is do on every six months

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and trim off the lip like the dead ends or

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's a little bit lighter in color.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 3>The reason that.

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 1>People suggest doing cuts three months is that if you

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>do have dead ends, it's going to split the hair

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and then it's going to create breakage and make your

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>hair look thinner.

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Obviously we want to get rid of that.

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>But if you have a healthy hair, if you have

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>healthy hair and good hair routine, you don't need to

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>be trimming it every three months.

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:45.319
<v Speaker 3>You're just getting rid of length.

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>You're just you know, stopping that overall look of long curls.

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>So six months for a trim is all you need.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 2>And I think ways to stop your hair from getting

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>the breakage and getting the split ends is like the

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.439
<v Speaker 2>styles that you're doing, Like when you're sticking your hair back,

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get breakage and then you're gonna need.

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 3>To cut your hair more often.

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>If you're using a clow clip, it causes a lot

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 2>of tension in the same spot. Constantly swap it out

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 2>for a hairpin.

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Like you have to try and do.

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Protective styles that aren't going to affect your curls and

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.679
<v Speaker 2>like cause the breakage which makes you have to get

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:17.079
<v Speaker 2>a cut.

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 3>That's so true.

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Wearing your hair out is always going to be the

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>best possible way to wear your curls, even though it

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>can be a little bit exhausting, always wearing it out,

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>it is much better. As Jesse said, then you know

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>wearing tension hairstyles. My hairstyle is I literally got a

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 1>trim yesterday, guys, and we cut the littlest bit off

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 1>just as I said before, just any like light colored

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>dry spots. She said that in the back of my

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>hair she can tell that there's a little bit more

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>breakage and a little bit more like less health overall.

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's because obviously this is where I wear my

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>hair most often. It's if it's up, so you can

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>try and like, if you do have to wear your

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>hair up, you can try and just put it in

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>different spots each day.

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Maybe, yeah, do a high ponytail.

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Than a mid than a low, just to like even

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit, especially if you work and you

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>have to put your hair up.

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 2>For me, the best thing has been like these pins. Yes, friends, come,

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing like it's not causing attention anyway. It's

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 2>like my own hair is holding itself up and then

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the pin just like yeap, helps it stay in place.

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Because it's not laying flat against your scalp.

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so great.

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>It just like is a healthy way. We've spoken about

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>them before, but they're so affordable. We got a pack

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of like twenty off Amazon for nine dollars.

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Nine dollars for really cute hairpins, and I look really

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 3>pretty quick.

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.320
