I'm beyond grenade and you're watching beyond grenade today And today I'm going to break it down with everything you need to know about curly hair If you are someone that is new to the curly hair world meaning you're transitioning Don't really know what to do this videos for you if you're a girl that just Unfortunately hates her curly hair because she doesn't know how to take care of it This video is for you if you are a mom or dad of a mixed child And you just don't know what to do with all this new curl This video is for you now if you're one of my loyal subscribers You should know everything I'm about to say in this video because you've already graduated from curly hair 101 And you've moved on to curly hair 405 where you're still trying to figure out porosity and protein hair treatments We're not gonna go that deep today Today is just going to be all the basic things that you need to know in order to start your curly hair journey The first thing you to know is what type of curly hair do you have? Yes? It is broken into type 2a b or c type 3a 3b 3c or type 4a 4b 4c But that's a little bit complicated if you want to know about that You can watch my full video on how to figure out your hair type But the main thing that I want you to know right now at this level is if your hair is wavy like big curls loose curls or is it like mine to where you have these Curly little ringlets or is it even tighter and thicker than my hair to where it's more like an afro type texture Once you figure that out It'll make it a lot easier for you to find product that will work for you and your hair type now If you have the wavy looser curls, you're probably gonna want lightweight products Maybe something like a moose if you have hair like mine you could get away with both moose or cream But you also could use a gel it really just depends on the Procedure of your hair which is the whole other video that you could try to tackle if you think you're ready But if your hair is very coarse and thick and very tight curly hair You really need thick creamy products to really get into that hair and give it some moisture Now let's go on to the more generic curly hair things you should be doing if you have curly hair You should not be washing your hair every day. I know this was news to me too back in middle school in high school I wash my hair every single day with shampoo and conditioner Thinking that that's what I had to do because my curls will just be frizzy the next day if I didn't so That's what I did for years and then I realized and learned we're not supposed to do that Our hair is so cool that we don't even have to wash it every day Honestly, I have not washed my hair in three days and I probably can go three more days without washing my hair And they'll still look bomb diggity So if you have curly hair or your kids have curly hair It is best to make sure that you have some good products So if their hair looks fabulous on day one and then on day two is a day that you're going to just refresh them You don't want to wash them again with shampoo and conditioner Just spritz them with some water add a little bit more product and then your curls will just revive themselves Once you're done washing your hair with your sulfate free and silicone free shampoo and conditioner You do not want to dry it using a regular cotton towel if you dry your hair with the towel It's going to create frizz. So do not do that Actually does get a cotton t-shirt and dry your hair with the t-shirt instead You could invest in a microfiber towel that also works great But you don't want to use anything that's going to give your hair in type of friction because that will cause frizz Before you even start putting in your styling products It is also best to apply the styling products while your hair is still at least damp If not soaking wet. The next thing you need to know in order to have your curls last throughout the week is how you sleep in them You can't just go to sleep all willy-nilly like you have straight hair. We have some rules Okay, so if you have curly hair, it is best to sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase That way your hair is just rolling around on the satin And it's not creating any friction like it would with a cotton pillowcase And that way you don't get as much frizz when you wake up in the morning Besides sleeping on a satin pillowcase you also want to put your hair up in a pineapple Now if you've heard the word pineapple in the curly hair community You might be thinking like why are all these curly girls like obsessed with pineapples? Let me tell you. I mean I don't have an obsession or anything So a pineapple is just the name of the hairstyle when you put all of your hair on the very top of your head So let me demonstrate for you So you're gonna grab all of your hair and you're gonna bring it to the front of your head Just like so then you're gonna get a scrunchie And you just put it around one time so you don't want to be like as tight as a ponytail just one time And let it flop over not only is it a fabulous hairstyle This is how you should be sleeping because now all your curls are protected on the top of your head So when you sleep your curls are not being disturbed by your pillowcase or anything But the best part is once you take it down in the morning Your curls are good as new pulling your hair back into a ponytail is going to make all this part really straight and Look a little extra ugly in the morning But then when all your curls are just put up then they fall back down right into place Now back when I did cut off majority of my hair my hair was too short to put my hair into a pineapple So if you are in that stage where your hair is just too short for a pineapple Definitely sleep on a satin pillowcase or invest in a satin bonnet moving right along. Let's talk about hair products It is so important for you to find curly hair products that work for your hair If you wake up in the morning and you just apply water or like coconut oil And then you're mad that your hair is frizzy like you have no right to be mad because you're not using Products that are claiming to tame frizz Coconut oil does not get rid of frizz water does not get rid of frizz and neither does leave in conditioners You need actual styling products that will actually say fights frizz or frizz controlling or Curl definition curl defining right on the bottle I have a full video with all of my favorite curly hair products And I definitely recommend that you guys try at least one of these products The next thing I want you guys to do is especially if you are transitioning and trying to get your curl pattern back But maybe you have some straight straggler pieces. It just aren't curling You need to revive your curls by doing a deep conditioning treatment once a week If I had a dollar for every time I told this to somebody I would literally be rich It's gotten so bad that on my phone in the little like tech suggestion if I type in deep condition It suggests once a week like that's how often I'm telling people to do this It is so important to keep our curls Moisturized and when you use a deep conditioner, which is different than a regular conditioner You leave it on your hair for 20 minutes just once a week And then you rinse it out that gives your hair a good little spa day to really soak up all the nutrients It needs to be shiny bouncy and healthy. I also have a full video on all of my favorite deep conditioners So please check out that video and try one of those and really commit to doing it once a week But if you're one of those transitioners that has those long straight straggler pieces that just are not curling anymore You need to cut it So many girls hold on to those long straight pieces because they want their length and they think long hair is better But look, I don't understand why you rather have long Ugly hair versus short beautiful healthy hair like I just I just will never understand that Cutting off any dead damaged ends is so important It'll also make your hair grow faster and just really look a million times better. So those are the most important things I think you should know as a curly girl guy or parent to a curly kid And I really hope that you implement all of these things because they will definitely make a difference in how your curls Look or how you feel about your curly hair It is so important to love and embrace the natural hair that is growing out of your head And if you fight it every day, you're just gonna be miserable So I am here to help with any tips and tricks that I can possibly give you to make you realize how amazing Your curly hair is it literally breaks my heart when I hear people say that they hate their curly hair Or they don't like it or it's too big or they don't know what to do with it like Oh If you have any other curly questions go ahead and leave a comment I really want my comment section to be a place where we all can give our own tips and tricks and help each other out With our curly hair journey, but I also have an entire curly hair playlist with full detailed videos on pretty much Everything you need to know about curly hair So go ahead and binge watch my entire channel, and I'm sure you'll learn a thing or two If you found this video helpful, I hope you give me a thumbs up and subscribe I post new curly hair videos every single week giving you guys tips tricks and product reviews So you know exactly what to do with your curly hair and if once a week isn't enough You also could follow me on Twitter Instagram and Snapchat at Ms. Bianca Renee so we could really be curl friends I hope to see you all next week.
