I felt like I had a one on one with THE CURLY QUEEN!. Even through a screen her kindness, care and warmth could be felt so vividly. She just absolutely loves hair and she's so passionate about it. Not just hers she cares for all of our hair too. I loved the questions that we asked to her and I literally sat with a notebook make so many notes. Im super excited to hit a reset on my journey and just follow through with her tips. Lorraine thank you thank you so much for inspiring millions of curly girls across the globe. Much love to you from me and my hair.

She is so right. I have always had curly hair from birth, but over time it began to look straight. I blow-fried it through most of my teen years, then began just pulling it back. I would joke that my only hairstyle was a pony-tail. I bought her book and found a good botanical conditioner, the more I soaked my hair in conditioner, the curlier it became. My husband grew up in the back of a beauty/barber shop and even commented how shiny, healthy and good my hair has been looking. Thank you for your book Lorraine!

I cannot get enough of how generous in spirit Lorraine is. She is so invested.Wonderful to see/ hear!

Thank you Lorraine. I love and share your passion for our curly hair. I appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge.:-)

I'm so thankful I found your products and technique. I've gotten the products ordered and purchased the ebook tonight. You're a blessing! Thank you for dissecting the life of curls. And your time, studies, dedication, seeking the knowledge and educating and sharing it with many curly girls!!

I love these analogies. I’m learning so much watching this!

I'm so glad I finally found you, even though I am late to the game!! I stopped going to hairstylists for the reasons you stated... they loved my naturally curly hair, but always dried it straight. I never do my hair straight. Thanks so much for all of the info!

You are such a beautiful soul inside & out !!! My gosh ! I’m as delighted to stumble upon this video but sad that it’s almost 1 year late from when I actually started following CG routine ..you have been a true idol who is such an angle to share so much information with the patience and passion and jus love for the natural hair !!! We (me and many of the zillions) are truly thankful to you and wish you all the best .. I hope and wish to have a chance to meet you some day 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼♥️♥️♥️

She's just lovely. Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤

I have been cutting my own hair dry for 25 years. I just can't trust the salon can understand my hair as much as I can.

So happy to find this video, what a beautiful lady you are Lorraine. Thank you for the tips and you are so sweet and generous for trying to happy everyone ❤️

Hi Lorraine, I'm 55 and have had "soft thin curly brown locks" since I could remember. I tried to go "curly" years ago but couldn't stop blow-frying! Now I'm compromised with range of motion due to severe arthritis and the infusion treatment is a form of chemo.. because of concerns with thinning hair and frizz, I am starting to love my curls! I use No Poo and a light conditioner, and the Ultra gel from Devacurl.. I have an appt with a specialist on your list of salons who knows me well.. I'm sure she get my hair growing in the right direction and to it's fullest potential1 Thanks for all you do and who you are! If it wasn't for you I'd still b struggling!

First of all..i love you..my hair is very curly..i was always teased about my hair. So i learned to hate it..always straightened it..then i always got compliments..now im 52.. I dread doing my hair now..its a long process.. So im on my journey to loving my hair..wearing it curly..Thank you so much for helping

I’ve discovered the conditioner water mixture for my hair works as a great moisturizer for my skin too👍

Love you Lauren Massey

So glad I come across your youtube!!!!!!!

I have found her observations on oil to be correct...at least for my hair. I no longer use oils or butters. In my experience, they build up even worse than silicones and are even harder to remove!

I love this video thank you, I have both books but cannot find leave in lover in the recipe in either book tks.

I have silver, curly hair and have been just using conditioner to cleanse and condition and also use eco gel. It works well but wonder if a homemade flax seed gel is better than the commercial products? I was so excited to see you as a beautiful silver fox! So you know what we silver curlies deal with. Then I see you've written a book for us! Thank you for that! I'll be buying it. I look forward to your new site. God bless you for your love of people and our hair.

I had that wonky hair cut once too! OMG it's devastating...

I’ve been doing this for a good 10 years. Although I’ve been loyal to the cut and process, I generally can’t replicate what my stylist does. I’m truly struggling now as my temples and outer layer on top is nearly gray (I’m horrified). I cannot get these parts under control no matter what! I do section by section with OneC and BLeave In (and gel), but that top is heavy, going straight, and GRAY. The rest of my head has amazing chunky double-helix coils. But that FRONT! It’s killing me and I always end up with it in a pony hair. MADDENING!

Thank you so much

I know she said no oils but to the person with the bald patch, I have used Vatica on my hair every week for a while and it rapid-grew from shoulder-length to the back-bone now. No joke. I know it sounds crazy cuz I didn’t believe it would work, I just tried it with low expectations, and it bloody stunned me! So I would definitely try it on the patches if I had bold patches. Mind you, I am still shampooing and about to transition, that is why I have the experience that the oil would come out because of the shampoo. But still.... rather than having a bald patch I’d probably oil that area and see if it works then shampoo only that area with a sulphate free shampoo and then do the Curly Girl Method after... That being said, use your own judgements...

Ok.ok.ok!!..lots of great tips, but the spot cleaning your hair ,made me say Wow! I'm doing that from now on.

I’m so glad I found you! Such helpful informative 😉 thank you! I’m all gray now (56) and have been doing the curly method for a while now. My hair is still quite dry. I have used oil as a deep conditioner a few times. What do you recommend to cleanse that out and sort of start fresh?

You and your hair are very beautiful. Thank you so much for the information about curly hair. My curls have been misunderstood my whole life as well as my self. Anyway, this is my third month with no hair-color. However, I got a hair cut to try to cut out the color and it is so unmanageable! I began blow-drying but I really dislike all the hair pulling. I must admit that the person who cut my hair did not listen to me and did a very bad job. I was having some spacing at the crown so she cut it short and left me with a square head. I got another hair cut shorter but now cannot manage and every day is a bad hair day for me. Most Importantly, I am very sensitive to chemicals so I am limited on products. Also, beginning this year I began to notice this constant crawling feeling on my scalp. It alternates with burning and itching, so I am finally going to see my Dr. tomorrow hoping to get an answer. Looking forward to reading your new silver hair book. Thank you 🙏🏻 I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.

@39 ‘punify’ lol! Now there’s a creative way to describe fine waves that hare gel 😂

I’m LITERALLY taking notes!!! Thank you! 🙌🏾😇

How can I improve my hair cleaning after daily exercises? Thanks for all your teaching.

Great video with a wealth of information. I used to dye my hair, I moisturize and condition my hair but it is still extremely dry. Do you have any suggestions?

I really value your wisdom here, you're spot on! What particularly resonates with me is your conversation about protein. Did I miss a discussion about using a diffuser hair dryer? I assume you're opinion might be to avoid but what of quick-ready work days etc requiring a quick dry? As we avoid shampoo will our hair air dry faster or slower? Is it better to have that happen for the hair to air dry faster or slower & why? I have thick curly hair that gets greasy with oils and too much conditioner. It seems like if some ofy hairs are happy and curly and moisturized then the others are frizzy. I have lots of health problems and have had brain surgery requiring head shaving and restarting (was liberating and fun hair wise and I enjoyed my curls every stage of regrowth all the more!). Tips for getting an even balance of no frizz for thick hair on days when I don't fight my curls with a straight iron or just give up and throw them in a bun? Thank you so much ❣️❣️❣️

Thank you❤️

Testing LIGHTWEIGHT Conditioners: make sure hands are CLEAN, (Bring OIL- FREE Wipes) put a small dollop about the size of a pea on the back of the hand and massage it in for 10 to 15 seconds, if it disappears without a sticky, greasy or oily residue but only a moist smooth feel it should work great. The fewer the ingredients the better. If your hair needs moisture: Use a CLEAN Shampoo (Like PRELL®) and follow up with a deep conditioner to which you have added 1/2 oz Cold Pressed Wheat Germ Oil (and if you want a strength boost a multi vitamin capsule) mix well and apply to damp hair and cover with a plastic cap apply a heat cap for 20 min. or without heat for 30 min. IMPORTANT: Add small amounts of warm water and emulsify well before rinsing, if hair feels oily, shampoo LIGHTLY with a sulfate - free moisturizng shampoo. Eating Eggs (IF your diet allows) and taking wheat germ oil and eating mixed nuts at least three times a week will help hair to grow at its maximum speed and thickness.

You shouldnt eat too much nuts (or plant oils and all things like that), because most of them (with some exceptions like macadamia) have tons of omega 6, which are incredibly inflaming, because it's very hard to balance it out with enough omega 3 in modern diet. And everybody needs a solid omega 3 supplementation if you want to be healthy and thus have good hair.

Years back, I used the Redken protein treatment antisnap thinking it would be great, it was too much!

These explanations are all so awesome! Oh, to met this lovely woman in person! 🥰💖✨

I love this woman, so beautiful inside and out

You have inspired me to embrace my curls again, thank you

I cut my own hair but struggle with the back layers. I've tried every hairdresser in my town and it's been a nightmare everytime. Can you develop an easy 'do at home' for us.

I'm just starting the curly girl journey. Not sure about how to cut it, tho. I've decided to let it grow and have it cut one length, but it looks bad when the curl falls out or I sleep on it. Today I just wet it down a bit to let it curl back up. It's not as curly as yours. Thanks for the great video. I'm going to get your book so I'll have the information at hand.

Check out Curly Suzie here on YT. She has Lots of good info and "hacks" for your CG journey. Welcome to the club! One thing about sleeping on your hair, invest in one or two satin pillow cases, they're super cheap on Amazon. I think I got two for 6 or 7 bucks. My hair is super short so I can't pineapple it (and I don't think I'll ever let it get past my collarbone again) and while it helps with breakage, I still look a hot mess in the morning. So you'll also want to invest in a good quality water spritzer. My tap water sours in a matter of hours (or less) so I only use filtered water. Depending on your water quality, if you can't filter it, get a small spritzer and dump it after every use, even pump the sprayer until it's dry. There are lots of videos here on YT showing hair styles for curly girls, you just have to watch for ones that match your curl pattern. When you see one you like pause the video and take a picture to show to your stylist. That's what I did. They can help you by only trimming a tiny little bit here and a tiny little bit there to start training your hair into the shape you're wanting. Plus, like Lorraine said, it oxygenates the hair so more nutrients can get in. Just remember to tell them: No thinning shears. You're paying them for a service so they have to do what you ask them. Send them to NaturallyCurly.com if they need some education. 😉 Whew! That was long winded! LOL! Best of luck to you! To us both, eh? 😄

Hi Lorraine...I love all your tips/advice. While I agree that we need good products along with good nutrition on the inside I do not think everyone should run out and take prenatal vitamins with folic acid...not all of us can take folic acid and need folate or follinic acid for proper assimilation. Folic acid for me with poor methylation is horrible for me and can actually make me feel worse. If you want to take supplements do it wisely.

I wanted to see which products would be best for my hair

Thank you 😊

Her hair is cute but like her blonde better but love, love , the Deva products omg my favorite

To grow your hair longer you should give it a trim once a month. When I say trim I mean just Nip the ends. Having clean ends keeps the hair healthy allowing it to grow instead of splitting.

I love all of your tips! Thank you so much! I’m working on hydrating my hair but it has gotten so dry from highlights/coloring. I’m using the melt into moisture and the deep sea repair. Is there anything else I could be using to help bring back my hair after coloring?

Hi, l don’t know if you will read this question, I had straight hair until my first child, I am going to be 60 soon, I have decided not to die them no more and I still curl, I wish they curled like yours but they don’t curl as much, what can I do to make them more curly to emphasize my curl. Thank you

Question: In the spray bottle Lorraine regularly uses in this video, is it just normal hair conditioner mixed with water?

Yes, after menopause the top of my head is thinner. Do you address that in your new book? Thanks, Lorraine! Yes, we are out there listening. ❤️

What do I put on my toddlers curly blond hair when he's swimming before and after?

My hair has areas of no curl especially from the crown at the backand top I've tried all types of shampoos and conditioner, plus curl enhancers plus now getting older and going silver as the natural colour is so lovley. Didn't colour much but can't get the fuss to curl or find a really good moisturizer or shampoo my chest is full of shampoo conditioners and masks please helpxxx

I know I’m way late to the game, but I have a question L.Massey. In your curly girl video the 23 minute long version, you have a before and after at the end. The very first models before appears to be fractual zigzag type curls but her after curls were very loose wavy in style…. How did she achieve that loose wavy look? I’m a curly girl in recovery and I have here same hair texture. I would love to see if my hair can achieve that loose wavy curl look. Can you do a video of models before and after while also showing how they achieved that after look? I don’t think I’m the only one that would love to see the transformation process in action. Thanks I’m advance. I hope you see this and reply back.

My hair are white I have dyed them what type of color should I use?

I just cut my ends a little bit can I ever fix it if I messed it up

i have long curly hair, how do i keep my roots as curly as hers?

Lorraine, where were you when I was a kid!? I grew up in the 80s in the East Midlands and no one at school or the hairdresser’s told me about the Curly Girl Method. My mother told me to brush my hair and then chopped it all off when I refused 😬 when I read about your book I presumed you were American as this method appears to have traction in the States. Imagine my surprise when I heard your accent! Did you promote the Curly Girl Method and DevaCurl in the UK? I have never seen your products on sale here.
