[riacocopops]

[fdee5]

aw you are so sweet <3

[methatgirl1234]

Aw nice hair! You're my hair inspiration now because we have similar texture!

[Lovely5646]

Are you east african?? ( ethiopian etc)

[nelenaloverz1]

my hair is curly, but its not even close to how long yours is! Nice hair :P

[Samiiax]

Thanks this helped, my hair is really long and curly aswell so it can get pretty annoying when it decides to frizz on humid days - by the way are you somalian?

[crystal340765]

What are you mixed with?

[deocampo13]

what is the curly girl method?

[Apriluv7779]

I really enjoyed listening to your tutorial. I live in a climate that is dry and the water is HARD! I only detangle in the shower when my hair is soaking wet and FULL of conditioner as you stated! As a matter of fact, I stopped using an comb and only use my fingers. Thank you!

[BilaChild]

never comb ur hair wet that is a huge NO NO.

THAT IS HORRIBLE.

IT IS A FACT!

[interplanetrabbit]

@BilaChild Not true. Different hair types need different things. I don't know if I'd recommend that someone with fine, straight hair comb it while wet, but individuals with dense, curly hair SHOULD in fact comb their hair while wet with conditioner.

Combing your curly hair while dry is possibly the stupidest suggestion I've ever heard. Just try it once, then you'll see why it's a bad idea.

I'd suggest you look into the idea that different people need different things.

[lcrnsdorf]

@BilaChild wow you sound so dumb. why would you say something is a fact when so many curly haired gurus say the same thing and they all have gorgeous hair??

go learn something before trying to teach others what is right and wrong. do you even have curly hair? i love it when stupid people comment on videos, it makes my day

[Addicted2Candy88]

do u have like a "puffing" problem? my hair does A LOT and i was going 2 try some of your products to see if that would help me! thanks :)

[interplanetrabbit]

@Addicted2Candy88 I sometimes have a puffing problem with my hair, but that seems to only be on days that are super humid (and if I did not put in enough holding product on that particular day). Typically, my routine helps keep my curls in check, so my hair doesn't frequently expand into a monster anymore. ;D

Let me know if these items help you any! <3

[Addicted2Candy88]

@interplanetrabbit thank you sooo much! i went out and bought the Honey and Almond shampoo and conditioner and it smells sooo good! Also, i think its just my hair that's so thick i don't think its puffing much. Thank you!

[djsugah]

wow! what beautiful long curls!

[interplanetrabbit]

@djsugah Aww, thank you so much! <3

[callmeconny]

omgggg i would DIE for your hair! i have very long, pin straight brown-ish hair and id really die for a single curl, even wave.. hehe enjoy ur hair, its awesome :)

[interplanetrabbit]

@callmeconny This is like the sweetest comment ever! <3

Thanks so much for your compliments! If that profile picture is you, you're absolutely gorgeous, and I think your hair looks lovely! :D

[kasenriq4]

Have you ever heard of Kinky Kurly Products!? You should look into it, it's amazing!!! and works really good!

[ilikemustangs2]

@kasenriq4 i paid a lot of money for that bull crap and it didnt do CRAP !

[MarinAlisonSmith]

how do you get your hair so long? as mine grows it just curls and stays short. any suggestions?

[interplanetrabbit]

@MarinAlisonSmith Hmm, unfortunately I don't know what to tell you. I guess your curl pattern is different in the sense that your hairs spiral, kink, and coil more than mine do, possibly. :/

I would just say to give it time. When I was re-growing my hair out, for the first few months it seemed like it only grew sideways (lol). But, as I continued to acquire length, it stretched the curls out to make the hair actually look longer and less voluminous.

[dijahenry]

Pretty hair! Thanks for sharing. My hair is finer than yours but I can totally use all of your tips!

[TheKminaj]

luv ur hair its so pretty

[interplanetrabbit]

@TheKminaj You're too kind. <3 Thank you so much. :]

[HANA2SA]

[interplanetrabbit]

@10321gis Awww, thank you! You're too sweet. <3

[10321gis]

@interplanetrabbit ypu are welcome <3

[tmathorful]

golly you're so gorgeous!!!

[MissBarbaraSolo]

Hi! I love your hair and I'm growing mine out as well.

I also live in a super humid place and I use Sauve Professionals Captivating Curls Whipped Cream Mousse and I love it! Its super cheap, thick and it leaves my hair feeling really soft and it smells amazing. I just wanted to share with you since you seem to be missing mousse. I know I would. :) Hope it works for you!

[interplanetrabbit]

@MissBarbaraSolo Hey there! :D

Actually, Suave Pro. Cap. Curls is one of the mousse products I have at the moment that does not work in my hair with this humidity. :/ I think in general, mousses just are not gonna fly, unless I mix them with gel. x_x It makes me sad, because that stuff smells FANTASTIC, and it's super inexpensive.

I'm hoping that come winter-time, I'll be able to re-visit some of my long-lost mousse loves. <3

[unelson]

Beautiful Hair!! :)

[interplanetrabbit]

@unelson Awww, thank you! Yours is super pretty, too! :D

[LuvCurls3]

You could try and mix your mousse with gel. Like first apply mousse then layer with good holding gel or mix some mousse with gel. Just an idea. Think they sell some products like this, mousse and gel combination. f

[interplanetrabbit]

@LuvCurls3 That's actually a very good idea. I may try mixing my HUGE SUPPLY OF MOUSSE with the aloe vera gel or proclaim gel (since those are the two that I find can't provide sufficient hold on their own, anyway).

I'm really excited to try this. I don't know why this didn't occur to me on my own, lol. Thanks for the suggestion! <3

[LuvCurls3]

@interplanetrabbit Great - Please let us know how it works for your hair (beautiful hair btw) and getting very very long. :) Also thanks for taking time to do some curly hair vids for all :)

[LuvCurls3]

Great video thanks

[IndianNaturalCurly]

thanks for sharing these tips, i am going to keep them in mind, i had to subb off this video , :)

[interplanetrabbit]

@IndianNaturalCurly I'm glad my tips were able to help! :)

<3

[IndianNaturalCurly]

@interplanetrabbit :)

[SKE1966]

Thanks for the info. You look fabulous, girlfriend. Congratulations on your move,

and classes. I go back to class myself on the 30th of this month. I am so, a curly headed woman, too! Loving it: giggles.

[interplanetrabbit]

@SKE1966 Thanks so much! Your comments always make me super happy! :D

Good luck with your classes! I'm sure you'll do fine! ;]

[flowerrmb]

I like the Fruit of the Earth Gel also! It gives me a good hold.

[interplanetrabbit]

@flowerrmb It's some good stuff! I don't know why people always give me weird stares when I say I use it. :p

[DespiteTheRandomness]

can you put a link to the conditioner in the description? I'm really interested in trying it out :)

[interplanetrabbit]

@DespiteTheRandomness Sure, no problem! It'll be there the next time you check! :]

[Shemsa08]

oh and i wanted to say i think the reason the proclaim isn't working as well is because it may have glycerin in it which can make the hair frizzy if you live in a humid environment.. its very moisturizing but it attracts moisture also which sucks beause it can cause frizz lol so I try to stay away from glycerin. Most moisturizing gels have glycerin in them :)

[interplanetrabbit]

@Shemsa08 Oh, that makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much for that info! I mean, I love the stuff--it's a GREAT price for how much you get, and it helps keep my hair soft... but it just leaves me looking so fuzzy after about an hour or two. :/

But, now I know. :D Thanks so much for the heads up! I'll keep an eye out for that in the future when sampling new products. <3

[Shemsa08]

excellent video !!!! very very informative love your videos !!

[noorahAZ]

Wait ! i didn't get it ,, Do you use a shampoo that contains sulfates! Or not .. and thanks

[interplanetrabbit]

@noorahAZ I use a shampoo WITH sulfates in it, but only about once a week--give or take a day (which is why I was saying that I don't follow the CG method, which purports avoidance of sulfates).

Sorry for the confusion! :D

[Aspenfash899]

do you wear it down everyday? or up since its more hot where your at now

also is it bad to wear your hair wet everyday im scared my hair might break off lol

[interplanetrabbit]

@Aspenfash899 I do wear it down everyday for the most part (except the days I don't feel like washing, during which I'll typically style it into a bun).

And no, it's not bad for your hair to be wet everyday. :] The issue is if it stays wet and does not fully dry between washings. I have seen before where people who stay indoors all day and have dense hair (that doesn't dry quickly) will maintain a damp feel. That's no good, but if your hair is COMPLETELY drying each day, it won't be an issue.

[fev1588]

Hey how can you tell if the water is hard or soft? also have you ever used eco styler gel? It works really well.

[interplanetrabbit]

@fev1588 You can find out by looking at a government website. I'll put the link in the description, since I imagine more people are going to want to know about this! :)

And, I have not used ecostyler gel! I'll have to check it out. ;D

[KaylaJ218]

Good info but this video was extra long

[interplanetrabbit]

@KaylaJ218 Yeah, there was no way to make this short unless I broke it into two sections like before (one on routine, one on products).

But, I figured I might as well condense everything into one video. :) Sorry if it was inconvenient for you to watch! I'll take that into consideration next time; perhaps I will just continue to break the videos up by topic, but I thought I'd give this format a try.

[roamoni]

@interplanetrabbit i dont think it matters that it was long. if someone has a problem with it then they dont have to watch the video. ive seen plenty of good tutorials that are 15 minutes or more. anyone who lacks the patience to sit through a semi length video for the sake of bettering their hair routine shouldnt be watching the video in the first place, thats what i think. great video rabbit!!!

[KaylaJ218]

@interplanetrabbit i see where your coming from,its cool to try new things,i was wondering though, how many layers do you have in your hair? i like the way its cut

[interplanetrabbit]

@KaylaJ218 Thanks! Actually, I couldn't tell you how many layers I have, because I cut it myself, and I didn't really have a method to the madness. :p I just cut the pieces how I wanted them to look, haha!

I'm weird, I know. ;]

[KaylaJ218]

@interplanetrabbit lol i was thinking of doing the same thing the other day but i got nervous about it, idk maybe ill try it anyway since it worked out for you, hopefully it will for me as well lol

[MissDarcei]

Holy huge bottle! I need me one of those! lol

[interplanetrabbit]

@MissDarcei LOL, yeah, the bottles are massive. Make sure you have plenty of storage space! ;D
