I think both looked the same. Would like to see you try them when your hair is wet before you diffused like the directions said 😊

I just cut off like 5 inches of mine last week and I feel so much better, I hope you feel better after your cut!

I'm with you, courtney. I have those little metal clips and they always snag my hair. Love the volume you got with these.

Yes!!!

I actually do root clip but I tried to do it like you did in the video and what a difference it made for me. Can’t wait to see your new haircut

So glad to have found you! I’m starting my wavy healthy hair journey today. Gleaning info from all your things and putting it to practice. I must say though, that the best is that you are unashamed to boldly share that you are a Christian mama ❤️

I use those clips. They are great especially for the front top section.

I do a very similar technique but with the small, not the tiny, Goody claw clips. I've tried the Curl Keeper clips but find I have more control and get better volume using small claw clips. Plus I can leave them in while my hair air dries and can still run errands without looking too weird...lol. I also use the small claw clips to protect my curls and volume at night.

I just tried root clipping and I think it really helped. I used small claw clips. I put them in when I was almost done diffusing. I have fine 3A curly hair but it sometimes falls flat on top.

I have been wanting to try them! Tks for the video♥️. I can see root volume for sure in the crown and for sure in the front. I can’t believe how easy the clips came out of your hair. I don’t root clip as often as I should because I too rip hair out when removing clips. It looks great!

Thank you! I would love to know how it goes for you! And yes, I hated when the hair would get ripped out. What's the point of that?! lol

I would say yes. I got them a couple months ago and only used them once and like your self I used the metal ones first and too had the ripping results. I too need a cut badly . And I think with those clips the volume will look great with more body

Thanks for the video Courtney. Will have to try this on one of my wash days

I like the volume they gave you! Been wanting to try something similar, but my hair gets frizzy so easily, I feel like it would give me that halo frizz 🤔 I usually air dry my hair so I will use clips to keep the hair out of my face while it’s drying (it breaks me out😭), but they leave dents in my hair so I feel like these would be much better! Thank you for sharing 😊 - silvipea

I've been using claw clips for awhile now (the other types snagged my hair too), & it has helped immensely! It usually lasts a solid 48 hours, sometimes 72 if I'm lucky! But I put them in closer to like 75-80% dry, & I spritz it with hair spray. (Innersense I create finish usually, sometimes bounce curl's hairspray). It helps give the roots some grit, which fine hair usually needs to maintain any root lift. I've been wanting to try the curl keeper clamps myself, I think I'm going to get them

Ok I have the same issue with the alligator clips and I always have to use them bc I have similar issues with flat hair…. And I always pull hair out! I need to get these curl clips!!! I think the front is the same in both, but the volume in the back is improved with the clips, I think!! Thanks for testing these out for us! ♥️ Also LOVE that you are loving my product lineup!!

I'm late to this party, but I'm definitely going to try these. I get flat in the same places and it looks super thin where I part after drying. I think I'm also going to try diffusing on the opposite side.

Love your shirt!

Spritz with a little hairspray and then hit it with the diffuser to set the spray. Works great for me.

I have curly/wavy hair just like you, and I have the Curl Keeper clips and absolutely love them! It definitely is trial & error the best way to use them tho. After watching a few YT videos, I put them in before I diffuse, and take them out after my hair is 100% dry and then scrunch out the cast. They've been a total game changer for me!

I’ve been using these clips for years on my wavy hair which is layered at chin length. They are a game changer. I get big soft curls with no work. Nice volume at the roots too. My hair will frizz if I mess with it too much and this requires minimal processing.

How about using these clamps and either before or after removing them, use Bounce Curl’s no alcohol hairspray? I’ve tried the spray, it does give some good lift and hold, and I have fine wavy hair similar to yours, Courtney 🙂

I didnt even know you could clip your hair for volume, lol. Just bought a pack this morning (not the same brand) and i cant wait to try them out. 🙂

It’s beautiful! ❤

My hair get's soo flat in top. I'm going to try this, I think they gave you volume for sure!

I have only tried root clipping with the alligator clips and like you, found them to be a lot of hassle for little benefit ad they ripped my hair sometimes. I have a cowlick in the back of my head like you do but I don't usually think about it and just leave it be. 🤣

Ohh! And less clips too!! Excited to try these! Itsmeganwhitney

Your hair did exactly what mine does…silky root issue…volume loss as the hair pulls it down through the day. You might try a volume spray after you remove the clips. A Simple Planet makes one. But those clips seem amazing, I’ve had several people tell me about them. Hmm…

Welllll...definitely more volume at the beginning but I thought they looked the same by the end of the day BUT I don't think you compared to the end of the day of the 1st hair day, didn't you compare to your result following wash & dry of the previous (no clip) hair day?? I hope that makes sense.

I have just discovered your channel and I’m so glad I did. You are so pretty and so is your hair. Loved how your hair turned out. You have the most beautiful blue eyes. What make and colour eyeshadow do you have on and do you have any videos where you show how you put your make- up on. That colour really makes your eyes pop. Thanks. Fiona. X

I’ve been soo curious about these clips but have yet to see a wavy try them so I’m definitely looking forward to your results and opinions!🤞🏼🤍

My hair is wavy on the top and curly in the back. As a 71 yo, I find the regular Goody clips keep breaking - sometimes when I drop them and other times they break while in my hair - so I’m gonna buy the clamps. I also have cowlicks. I like what you do to cover them up. All 3 of my adult children have curly hair. As littles, every one of them had straight hair. At puberty, their curls came in. Go figure. I love your honest vids. Keep it up.

I think there was a good difference in the beginning but the two looks look about the same in comaprison

Hey Courtney! I just have to say that I think your hair is just so lovely now! I've just been watching you about 1 1/2 yrs & I never seen your hair so long. Since I started watching you & taking care of my wavy/curly hair, I've been letting it grow. I know I need to get it cut, to fix the hack job I did,trying to do a deva cut. I just wish I knew about this 30 yrs ago! I'm now 56 yrs young & I know of some people think that I should get it cut short bc they say long hair makes us look older. I'm enjoying my hair for the 1st time in my life. Maybe I'll get a shorter (shoulder length) when I'm 60. You know, I've been looking at those clip for a while, too & debating whether or not to get them. I think you may have convinced me to get them, even though I did just get a bunch of those Deva clips. They seem to work well for me, but like you, I like things as simple as can be. So thank you.

I'm another girl who is 56 years young 💕 I have also been following Courtney for about the same amount of time!! My hair was always long, until 12 months ago when I shaved it all off, as support for my step-sister who had Leukaemia - many years after she had beaten 2 different types of breast cancer. But then...... she had a bone marrow transplant in December 2021, so I shaved it all again!! It's now starting to visibly grow back, but it's disappointingly pretty straight (it's only about 2 inches long or so), and I'm so frustrated!! Rude question: do you colour your hair, or are you going with the silvers??

@simplycurlyde

Жыл бұрын

@@cathismith2624 No I'm not colouring my hair, I'm loving even my silvers! The silvers are more porous & are pretty much straight, so it just needs more moisture and I do brush style them to help them curl a bit more. That's great that you are so supportive of your stepsister in her cancer battles. It just may take some times for your curls/waves to come through. Sorry it took me so long to reply.

I am not a fan of those metal clips either. I would definitely try those. I think it does give a bit of extra volume.

I’ve tried the clips and find they work for wash day but my hair is notorious for falling afterwards- all the joy 😂😂

I like the root clips.

I wish I could get more root volume!

I think you have a little more volume now. I want to try the clips I have some rounded clips but they pull my hair out

Ha! When I saw the thumbnail, I had to tell you that clipping my roots is how I guarantee they will stay lifted. Fyi, I always air dry my hair. ... I have fine 2a,b,c shoulder-length hair. My hair never rips with large claw clips but always rips with other types of "no pull" clips especially the metal ones. ... Your hair has slightly more volume with clips.

I use those clips most nights. I clip my hair on top of my head in four sections, then put on my bonnet. It’s the only way my curls will last.

I honestly like the clips better. I've never tried root clips before but might have too.

Not at all!

I find that starting with my roots, rather than the other part of my hair, and focusing on pushing my roots upward, gives me far more volume. If I use a root lifting foam, even more. The trick is to flip hair from side to side UPRIGHT push your hair towards the diffuser. Example... if you have you hair on right side o f head ,use your free hand in claw like shale, to gently push the crown towards the left. Diffuse that bubble of hair.

I use cheap knock offs of these and put them in when my hair is still wet right after putting in products, and leave them in until fully dry. I've done both diffusing and just air drying and they work very well!

I have silky roots, and my hair doesn’t really start curling or waving until it reaches my ear. Honestly, the clips made no lasting difference. Maybe your hair needed to be wetter and then hairspray when dry? I’m not sure it’s worth the effort for myself as my dense hair always wants to go with gravity: down.

I always, root clip right after products put in.. your hair was too dry, do it when wet..

Good question! These have more of a "space" in them/on the sides, I think it helps the roots dry better when clipped up.

For the alligator clips, put gel on the clip before putting it in your hair. Comes out clean with no ripping for me.
