ahh FINALLY. Ive been looking for someone with hair similar to mine so i can transition from natural-'straight' hair to naturally curly. Ive never gotten a perm but i go to the salon every 2 weeks to get it straightened, but im going to college next year and i want to wear it naturally. Its VERY thick, a lot thicker than yours unfortunately and the curl pattern isnt so defined. Your videos are teaching me a lot thanks so much! by the way what is your curl type? 4a?
@happieeyore it's more 3c in the front & 4a in the back. i have a weird mix of curls.
are u sure it's actually "thicker?" or is it just "poofier" bcuz u straighten so often? the less i straighten or pick out my curls, the better they define... & the less volume i have. ;)
your hair looks great after you've detangled it, but what do you do next? how do you get the conditioner out and how do you define your curls? my hair is just like yours but i've always worn it the same way, tied up and plaited, so im trying to explore new things to do with it! i'd love to get it like yours, pelase help!
@TheBeejay11 i rinse most of it out... mostly near the roots. then squish out the rest of it, & re-apply a little more by squishing more in with my hands a little bit at a time as a leave-in. if i'm using an actual leave-in, then i rinse completely of course. =)
I keep hearing mixed reviews about the denman brush...my best friend who is natural (I'm transitioning) said that it was pulling her hair out! That's scary!
I've heard some people complain about that, although I've never had that problem. they recommend opening up the brush and removing some of the bristle rows.
@tashafawn24 there are diff kinds of denman brushes.i use the small denman d1431 freeflow which is widely space with few teeth.there are meduim and big denman freeflow brush.
@tashafawn24 i forgot to mention that i use the bootleg denman D4 that is made here in canada so it isn't the real denman.The bootleg bristles are shorter and the rubber is very cheap compare to the rubber used on the denman.because the bootleg brush bristles are shorter and the rubber is cheap,the brush couldn't define my curls and it made my hair puffy
i cut very small sections of my hair where the new growth was to see if my curl pattern would change and it hasnt..i guess it varies with diff people lol
your hair is beautiful..I'm still stuggling w/ mine I braided it back up..is it something about that Denman brush..I got a Conair Detangling brush it's too big..
trust me sometimes I can't handle mine either. I braid it up and put it out of my mind for a few weeks, it keeps me from getting frustrated and chopping it all off again! ;)
I typically only use gel over a regular conditioner or leave-in conditioner... otherwise it tends to dry my hair out. But, be careful if you do this. Sometimes the gel and leave-in conditioner will cause these weird white cottage-cheese globs in your hair if they don't mesh well.
I liked Sunsilk's Gel and Creme Twist more than anything else. =)
your hair is EXACTLY like mine but I'm still in the working-with-it phases :) I'm at 1yr 4mths since I chopped it off! Yours looks absolutely lovely!!!! :D
I detangle 1 X a week and my hair is so detangled (your hair seems easy to detangle)! Why is that? lol. do you do something to it through out the week to keep it like that?
if curly/coily hair is lacking moisture, it tries to get it from the air around it. notice when it's humid out, is when we see the most frizz? ;) this is why i keep conditioner in my hair, so it is coated in moisture.
also if you comb your hair when dry, you're disturbing the curl pattern. instead of each curly strand of hair joining with other strands to form clumps of curls, you get each coil pushing against the other. this makes the hair "bigger" so it becomes a fro.
We're all mixed LOL. There's no such thing as pure this and that. We're 99.9% the same and there's no gene for race.
I like your hair in this video. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it took you an hour to detangle. At most it takes me 15 minutes and my hair is very curly and past my bra strap. Straight it's to my waist.
please say that again!!! =) i think i'm gonna address this issue in a video soon, it's starting to irk me.
it must be nice! my hair is way too thick for that, and the coils too tight. unless it's been in a protective style all week, i never get it detangled that quickly...
hi i have a question for you... when my hair is wet its really curly but when i dry its begin like pouf (afro) can you give me idea for my hair to stay curly...exuse me my english it to bad because i only speak french. thanks.
sounds like you need to find something that will keep it moisturized. when my hair dries out, it poofs more than curls too. i use my regular conditioner as a leave-in, it works well. some people do this and then add gel on top to keep the hair defined. you have to experiment with a few different things and find out what works best for your hair. =)
hola lady libra, me encanta como tienes el pelo. que productos usas para definir el rizo. yo estoy desesperada y no encuentro nada. por favor ayudame!!!!
Absolutely love your videos. They have helped me a lot!!! I'm curious though, I want to try the honey/h20/conditioner for regular use to help my strengthen my hair but I have a really good conditioner that i like because it detangles my very well. So can I use the honey/h2o with shampoo instead or is it just for conditioning? Thanks again for all your info!
i dunno how well the honey would work in shampoo. but i know some people water down their shampoo so it's not as harsh of a cleanser (plus it lasts longer that way)
I prefer a wide tooth comb vs denman brush...the denman pulled some of my hair out and it made the curls shrink. I like the wide tooth combs with thick teeth.
What is your favorite Deep Conditioner and Moisturizing Shampoo (every shampoo I try seems to dry my hair)? I did my big Chop in Sept & none of my old Conditioner's seem to Moisturize my hair good enough. I have 3c type hair,very curly. It seems as if my natural hair is dryer then when it was permed.
i think Trader Joe's Nourish Spa isn't too drying. but honestly i've stopped using shampoo, instead i use shikakai and amla powder.
i like to use Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose as my deep conditioner (it's light and very VERY moisturizing). my hair doesn't seem to like thick, heavy deep conditioners... i guess because they have protein in them. and if my hair needs moisture, protein doesn't make the situation any better.
I know what you mean about putting the comb it and taking it out after just a little bit, picking it out to detangle. That's what I did/do, too. In fact, I used a pick.
i finally got my denman!!!...it took only 15 minutes to detangle my hair instead of the hour or more it normally would take...also i picked up the sunsilk leave in conditioner and my hair is loving it!!!! smells yummy too.. you are turning me into a real product whore...will try the curlisto method tonight...thanks chacha...oh, you mentioned something about using honey...i couldn't really hear your audio is a little wacky..:)
sorry about the audio... yes i add about a tablespoon of honey to my half-water/half-conditioner mixture. 2 tablespoons of honey to my regular conditioner. it is a natural humectant that helps promote coil definition.
okay when are you going to write your book because i've gotten so many comments since i've been using the honey/conditioner/h20 regiment followed by the leave-in sunsilk...my hair stays silky and hydrated all day...and my curls are like bam bam bam...i can't thank you enough, seriously, thank you...
i'm sorry for askin if this offends u or not ..... but ummm .. are u black or are u mixed ... I've seen some comments that u were talkin in spanish so .... just wondering .... thanks
it offends me more when people assume... so thank you for asking! =)
i am black (not mixed) and although i keep changing my major, my minor is in Spanish. i speak a few other Latin-based languages too, only a few choice words and phrases though.
do you wash out any of the conditioner when you condition your hair in the shower? or do you just condition your hair in the shower and then leave it in?
I'm a bit confused. You have the almost exact same hair as me. I just use a paddle brush, I would never use a comb cause it would take too long. Did that brush do anything else exceptional??
i was a die-hard comb user, yeah it look longer but it's a lot easier to break brush bristles than comb teeth, LOL! ;)
the Denman is very sturdy and has some give, i do not worry about whether i'm gonna break bristles. also, the Denman gives great curl definition - from what others have said, even on hair that has no curl pattern. but of course that means more shrinkage, which can be the down side.
¿por cuánto tiempo deja usted "the conditioner" en su pelo depués "detangling"? yo se que esta pensando "porque me escribe en español", ¿verdad? Pues, fui a su cuenta de FOTKI y me enteré que habla español. entonces....
yo no sabía que se puede usar VO5 conditioner como un "dejar-en", que interesante. puede dar me la receta? cuantos veces lava su pelo durante una semana.
After I saw this video I went out a bought one. I got it from Sally's, but I forgot how much I paid for it. Price between $8.00 - $12.00. Its worth every penny!
it took me about 30 seconds to detangle that front section with the Denman. the side i used a comb on, i stopped a few times to talk so i'd guess it took me about a minute when i deduct a few seconds here and there.
omg, my hair looks exactly like that when its wet! i hate detangling. anytime someone tells me they love my hair i have the urge to scream then comb it for me!!! lol. sorry. but seriously, i wonder how many hours of my life i waste just trying to detangle my hair.
LOL i feel ya! that's why i wanna slap people who talk that "good hair/bad hair" nonsense. nothing wrong with nappy hair, but people think napps that have a curl/coil pattern must be easier to deal with. *rolls eyes*
do you have a Denman? man it has made my life so much easier. either that, or an Aveda brush, i heard they're good too. =)
yo, thanks for the tip! i will definitely pick up either of the two this weekend. anything that will cut down on my hair routine is a plus. keep up with the videos, their very helpful!
After seeing this video today I googled the brush and found you on LHCF where it left a link to your fotki. I tried to email you but it came back however just wanted to say thank you for the helpful videos! LOVE your hair!!
sorry about the email! =/ but thank you for the compliments. you can always leave a note in my guestbook on Fotki or send me a message here, i try to answer them ASAP. =)
it took me about 30 seconds to detangle that front section with the Denman. the side i used a comb on, i stopped a few times to talk so i'd guess it took me about a minute when i deduct a few seconds here and there.
Hi LadyLibra, great videos and great hair!!!! what kind of conditioner did you use? I know you said it was the lavender stuff, water, and honey. can you tell me what kind of conditioner and how much water and honey. why does it foam? I'm looking for that exactly. TYIA!!!!!
i think the full name is V05 Lavendar Luster? something like that... it's purple, LOL! i fill half the 15 oz. bottle with conditioner, then add 1 oz. of SAA, squirt some honey in (i'd estimate 1-2 tablespoons) and then fill the rest of the bottle up with water. shake well and apply to hair. =)
i don't know why it foams! LOl it's not gonna hurt your hair though.
my showerhead has weak water flow. =( but i did buy a new one... with a filter at that. soon i will be happy again with my detangling sessions... it's SOOOOO much nicer when you do it under running water IMO =)
Does leaving the conditioner in your hair make it more difficult to moisturize? I like the definition the condish gives but im worried itll create a barrier between my hair and my moisturizer... I think i might try this but add some evoo or glycerine.
Your hair is gorgeous and very healthy looking!! Do you style your hair in other ways other than the curlisto way? If so could you post a how to video?
thanks! =) i don't normally do the Curlisto method... normally i detangle like you see in the vid, then squish out most of the conditioner instead of rinsing and let it air dry. (yes, i have a vid coming up soon on that too!)
i probably could've found it at Sally Beauty Supply... but there's not one in my area and i don't have a car. so i just ordered it online, with shipping it was about $25.
I thought the brush was too much money too, but after I finally sucked it up and bought it, I was happy with it, hope it cuts down on your detangling time :-D

i was a die-hard comb user, yeah it look longer but it's a lot easier to break brush bristles than comb teeth, LOL! ;)
the Denman is very sturdy and has some give, i do not worry about whether i'm gonna break bristles. also, the Denman gives great curl definition - from what others have said, even on hair that has no curl pattern. but of course that means more shrinkage, which can be the down side.

¿por cuánto tiempo deja usted "the conditioner" en su pelo depués "detangling"? yo se que esta pensando "porque me escribe en español", ¿verdad? Pues, fui a su cuenta de FOTKI y me enteré que habla español. entonces....

sí, hablo un poquito español =)
no lo aclaro, lo utilizo como a "dejar-en" acondicionador ;)
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
yo no sabía que se puede usar VO5 conditioner como un "dejar-en", que interesante. puede dar me la receta? cuantos veces lava su pelo durante una semana.
cararedondita 3 years ago
sí, descubrí esta técnica de una mujer con pelo rizado... su sito es "biracialhairDOTorg", ella lo explica con gran detalle. =)
me lavo el pelo con champú cada 7-10 días, e utilizo esta técnica luego.

After I saw this video I went out a bought one. I got it from Sally's, but I forgot how much I paid for it. Price between $8.00 - $12.00. Its worth every penny!

how long did it take you to detangling using the denman and the time u did with the comb?
milezfan1228 3 years ago
it took me about 30 seconds to detangle that front section with the Denman. the side i used a comb on, i stopped a few times to talk so i'd guess it took me about a minute when i deduct a few seconds here and there.
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
where did you get your denman brush from?
Stephanie198907 3 years ago
i bought mine online, but i hear they sell them at some Sally Beauty Supply stores too

how often do you detangle your hair?
Muslimah33 3 years ago
every 7-10 days or so. sometimes longer if i'm feeling lazy and keeping my hair in a bun a lot.
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
omg, my hair looks exactly like that when its wet! i hate detangling. anytime someone tells me they love my hair i have the urge to scream then comb it for me!!! lol. sorry. but seriously, i wonder how many hours of my life i waste just trying to detangle my hair.
eyreache 3 years ago
LOL i feel ya! that's why i wanna slap people who talk that "good hair/bad hair" nonsense. nothing wrong with nappy hair, but people think napps that have a curl/coil pattern must be easier to deal with. *rolls eyes*
do you have a Denman? man it has made my life so much easier. either that, or an Aveda brush, i heard they're good too. =)
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
yo, thanks for the tip! i will definitely pick up either of the two this weekend. anything that will cut down on my hair routine is a plus. keep up with the videos, their very helpful!

btw i checked the box, it was a D3 =)

Hi LadyLibra, great videos and great hair!!!! what kind of conditioner did you use? I know you said it was the lavender stuff, water, and honey. can you tell me what kind of conditioner and how much water and honey. why does it foam? I'm looking for that exactly. TYIA!!!!!
RDuff88 3 years ago
i think the full name is V05 Lavendar Luster? something like that... it's purple, LOL! i fill half the 15 oz. bottle with conditioner, then add 1 oz. of SAA, squirt some honey in (i'd estimate 1-2 tablespoons) and then fill the rest of the bottle up with water. shake well and apply to hair. =)
i don't know why it foams! LOl it's not gonna hurt your hair though.
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
i use my denman while under the shower head loaded with conditioner and it glides through so smoothly.
lycanos13 3 years ago
my showerhead has weak water flow. =( but i did buy a new one... with a filter at that. soon i will be happy again with my detangling sessions... it's SOOOOO much nicer when you do it under running water IMO =)
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
Does leaving the conditioner in your hair make it more difficult to moisturize? I like the definition the condish gives but im worried itll create a barrier between my hair and my moisturizer... I think i might try this but add some evoo or glycerine.
Thanks for posting!
ijuswanab 3 years ago
by all means add stuff! that stuff in my hair is half condish, half water and i added honey and an ounce of silk amino acids to it.
the conditioner will coat moisture in your hair. so yeah you will eventually wanna wash so you don't get build up! ;)
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
my twin's hair is like yours. i always thought she was taking her time when conditioning and detangling in the shower. she takes a hour and more!

Your hair is gorgeous and very healthy looking!! Do you style your hair in other ways other than the curlisto way? If so could you post a how to video?
CoilsKinksCurls 3 years ago
thanks! =) i don't normally do the Curlisto method... normally i detangle like you see in the vid, then squish out most of the conditioner instead of rinsing and let it air dry. (yes, i have a vid coming up soon on that too!)
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
did you have to order it online? how much did u pay?
cuddlezz19 3 years ago
i probably could've found it at Sally Beauty Supply... but there's not one in my area and i don't have a car. so i just ordered it online, with shipping it was about $25.
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
I thought the brush was too much money too, but after I finally sucked it up and bought it, I was happy with it, hope it cuts down on your detangling time :-D
ladykpnyc 3 years ago
it has! it was a wise investment ;)
ladylibra1982 3 years ago
Man...your hair is sooooooooooooo pretty!!!!!
So...what made your hair foam as you were detangling? Was it the conditioner mixture you showed in the beginning????
