- Our curly hair routines.
(upbeat music)
Whoo, my hair is like a two year old child.
Sometimes it wants to act right and sometimes it doesn't.
I have a curl but it's also a kinky curl.
Tends to fall more towards the dry side.
Depending on what style I'm going with
or what I'm trying to do,
my routine can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours.
My hair routine starts with me getting in the shower,
I usually have it at lukewarm
and I will use my Mane Choice Shampoo.
I'll shampoo it about twice
just to make sure that I have
all the product out from today.
The first conditioner I use
is my Pantene Natural Curl
and I make sure I saturate that all over my hair
and then I grab my wide tooth comb
and I start from the base at the front of my hair
because towards the back is a whole other beast.
Then, I get to the back
and I kinda just yank the hell out of everything.
Once I have combed at a downward angle,
I flip my head over and I comb in another direction
'cause you gotta make sure you just get all the nats
and the roots and the curls in order.
After I rinse my hair with cold water,
I use my silicon mix and I use a glob.
I know they say a dab but let's be realistic.
And I run it all through my hair
and then I grab my Mixed Chicks leave-in conditoner,
run that on top of it.
I usually throw it in a bun to make sure
that I'm not leaking all over myself.
Then comes the styling.
So, I'll get my wide-tooth comb,
my paddle brush that's not really a paddle brush,
but something like a paddle brush,
and my spritz bottle.
I use my Foreign Beauty's define cream,
their sculpting cream, coconut oil,
and the Foreign Beauty pomade
and the Foreign Beauty twist out cream.
Take my hair out of my bun and I section it,
scoop my thumbs in between
and say yep that's gonna be the bottom.
I'll use my paddle brush and then I'll brush out the curls,
making sure it's really sleek and there aren't any knots.
I'll mix together all of my Foreign Beauty products
and then I'll rub them through my hair,
then I will finish it off with a pomade and my coconut oil,
brush it all out again
and then just separate the section into two twists,
twist her down and pretty much do
that for the next hour or so.

I usually do this as a night routine,
so I'll throw on my large bonnet,
go to sleep and then I usually wake up
and then I'm gonna take these bad boys down.
This looks a little too much like a wet noodle for me,
so I'm gonna go and just randomly
pull some of these curls apart,
but very gently 'cause you don't
wanna destroy the curl you just made.
So, after a little fluff to the left
and a fluff to the right, this is my twistout.
- My hair, like most people's curly hair,
is very dry and coarse.
My routine is kinda complicated
because it's around 20 minutes,
but then I wait several hours and do more things.
My curls, like many curls, are made in the shower.
Everything is done upside down.
I do everything upside down
to make sure my hair has lift
and the water doesn't continually push it down
and make it heavy.
I apply shampoo to the roots all around my head.
I scrub vigorously, using my nails
to really break up all of the gel
and conditioner from the week.
Then I rinse it all out.
I apply a generous handful of conditioner
and starting at the ends of my hair,
I finger comb up towards the roots.
If I come across a bad knot,
I apply more water and more conditioner
and then I just be really nice to it
and it comes apart eventually.
Once my hair is totally detangled,
I cup water in my palms and rinse a little conditioner out.
I do not shove my head under the water flow
because all of that pressure will make my curls super heavy
and I want them to dry bouncy
and not flat on my head
and then poof out like a triangle.
Still upside down, I scrunch a
generous amount of gel up toward my scalp
and I scrunch, scrunch, scrunch all around my head.
Then, I get rid of excess water
by gently scrunching up with a microfiber towel.
A normal towel will cause a ton of frizz.
If you don't have a microfiber towel,
just use a cotton t-shirt.
That is the end of the shower routine.
So to give the curls around the top of my head some lift,
I put in these alligator clips all around right at my roots.
I leave those in as long as I can
before I have to go out in public.
On days when I'm not washing my hair,
I use a spray bottle with a ton of water
and a couple pumps of conditioner
and I shake that up, spray my hair,
and that kind of reinvigorates the curls back to life
without taking a whole other shower.
So now that my hair feels dryer
and a little crunchy, I'm going to rake the gel
so that the gel is still holding the curls in place,
but it's not hard and crunchy.
(optimistic music)
And that is my curly hair routine.
- I straightened my hair for many years,
so my hair's normally dry and wavy.
I'm a girl on the go,
so my routine takes about 20 minutes.
I use DevaCurl no poo shampoo.
I use the palm of my fingertips
to go through my scalp and really massage my scalp.
I normally put a lot more conditioner than I do shampoo.
I detangle my hair by running my fingertips through my hair,
but then I also have a comb
that I use when my hair is really knotty,
get a microfiber towel
and then I wrap my hair up
and then I put It's a 10 leave in conditioner
and I just squirt that all over my hair.
I kinda scrunch it through and then afterwards,
I use this BB Curl product that I put to finish it off
and then I use It's a 10 leave in conditioner.
My hair is fully dry.
I'm currently still learning about curly hair,
so if you have any tips or recommendations,
I'm all ears and would love to hear from you all.
