Do you want freedom from frizz? ➡ bit.ly/freedomfromfrizz

Your hair is always soooo shiny and silky and not frizzy at all. Even when you say it’s bad it’s beautiful.... my hair is ALWAYS frizzy, messy, dull. Every product I’ve tried never works. I’m so discouraged and just want hair like yours !!

I think her hair is just lower porosity and fine, as well as a loose curl pattern, which makes it tend more towards that mirror shine. her water could be softer as well. people with higher porosity/coarse hair who may have harder water will have to focus more on doing ACV rinses and getting enough hydration and moisture. using a brush to style while it's *wet* has helped me with frizz and definition as well.

and don't forget a ring light or a flash picture can make hair look extra shiny, her hair in sunlight or indoor lighting probably looks much lower contrast and dull (but still amazing I'm sure)

I love the intro; I think more youtubers should do intros like that and just get to the point instead of all the small talk

For your refresh spray try adding Cantu curl activator cream to a spray bottle with water. Just play with the amounts you add to the water cuz to much can be to heavy depending on hair type. This also works great as a detangler.

I haven't started CG so I've just been pouring over the internet collecting research for when I can afford to buy my first CG-friendly set and all of your videos have been amazing!! I especially love the way you talk to your hair. Like you treat it kinda like its own person, almost like a friend, and I really love that! You're critical and honest but also kind and you always use humor and it's so refreshing. Like it's not a beast you're taming, it's a pal you're helping but you recognize that it does its own thing and I really love it!

The Cantu is one of my favorite conditioners! My husband bought it for himself and I LOVE IT. The Curl Activator is way too heavy and thick for my hair, but man, that conditioner. It smells divine too!

Your hair looks so healthy and shiny

I dont know why I havent ever thought of combing my roots like that, but it has changed the game for my hair😍 I'm so thankful for your videos!

absolutely love the cantu curl activator. that stuff is bombbb

My 2C /3A hair absolutely loves this product so much, I've had some of my best wash days after using these products, even my day 2/3 amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much for testing these out. I've been so curious to see how they do on fine wavy hair!

Yep, I recognized your accent and bouncy personality as pure Texan right away! Our Texas weather adds an extra challenge for we curly girls, but these Cantu products are my faves...they work wonders! I have fine, thick, 3B, 3C curls. I use the Define & Shine Custard (basically, gel in a jar) instead of the glue gel. The custard has that weird thick sticky feel too, but the cast is softer and most of it breaks up overnight as long as I don't use too much. Next morning I take my pineapple down, leave my hair alone for a bit and it usually falls into place. Occasionally I might have to do a little root shake/fluff but that's it.

I gotta try these! Although you have MORE hair than me, I have a similar texture and end result often looks like yours. 🤗

I tried this line AND started the curly girl routine after i saw this video. Major inspo.

I love Cantu! Their products work well, especially the conditioner, and are easy on the wallet! I haven’t tried that gel yet and I want one with a stronger hold so I might have to try it! You’re right that the cast is pretty light. Sometimes I just move my head around a bit and it loosens it just fine without needing to scrunch 😊

I’ve been watching Courtney since the first of the year (2020) when I started the CGM. I’ve turned into a product junky. But I just tried the Cantu products and low and behold I think I’ve finally got the shine and swing, at least today. It’s the new avacado product. I think my hair is somewhat like Courtney’s, only I have left over color and a loose perm from a year ago. But today I can see results of the CGM. I don’t follow the CGM all the way. I can’t keep from running a wide tooth comb through my hair. But today I haven’t grabbed a comb (yet), yay!!!

Your hair is GORGEOUS! It looks so healthy!

I love Cantu products!! I have 2b/2c curls and it helps keep my curls in for a 2-3 days. I also use the curl activator spray, if I see that my curls need a bit of help get back in form. I bought my niece the Cantu kids products and her hair curls look amazing.

Rebecca Roades it’s happening to me too 😭 I’m 44 and personally I think it’s an age thing. So currently I’m massaging upside down and tapping my scalp daily for blood flow. I’m also using a derma roller twice a month on certain areas, and focussing on my multi vitamins, omega 3s and B vitamins to see if I can slow down the shedding. I never thought I would shed this much but it’s also important to consider hair growth cycles and that plays a part as well.

Love how shiny your hair was , I use cantu shampoo, leave in conditioner , curl activator cream & the define and shine custard. but I always have problems breaking the cast i hate doing it....I have 3a/3b curls !

I am a newbie to "natural hair" I've just discovered my waves (2b) & I am so excited to see if I actually have more curls going on than I am aware of, so many new products to try! I haven't tried gels because I am terrified of them LOL!! My texture looks similar to yours (fine/medium strands but overall thick hair) I like to brush oil through the length of my hair at night & I am afraid that I won't be able to do that If I use any gel product. Once you break up the cast is your soft enough to gently brush if you wanted to? I am thinking of trying the NYM Curl Talk gel since you say it's a medium hold. My curls have never clumped but it's wash day & I have new products & new techniques -THANKS to YOU=) Also IF I wanted to curl my 2nd or 3rd-day hair with a curling iron- If I had used gel the previous wash day, then I definitely should NOT curl with heat right???

Gorgeous hair!

That looks amazing! My hair is super similar to yours except i experienced some hair loss and im always afraid of feeding too much product into my hair because of oil. Its cool to see how you do it

I've tried several different kinds of products from expensive to cheap... This CANTU line is one I keep coming back too.. I haven't seen that hair" goop"... What I use is twist/lock gel.. After the curl enhancer. I go 3 days w.out washing (I have MS so I'm not very active) To refresh I use water and their curl comeback/refresh spray.. I never realized how wavy my hair was on its own. I used to get perms(80s) then tried the straight look.. I'm glad I found your channel, I have learned a lot..

I literally just did this after co-washing my hair this morning! I'm really impressed so far. Just the cream gave me a pretty good cast!

Cantu curl activator cream was one of the first products I bought. I loved it in the beginning because my hair was heat damaged and dry and I got great results with soft shiny curls and good clumping. But with time my hair became over moisturized and kind of heavy and the results started looking greasy even on the first day. After the initial moisture needs from damage I found that I really couldn't use the Cantu on my fine 2c/3a curls. They just couldn't stand up to such a heavy product. I would try that gel though just because I think it's a great brand for curly girls. Wavy girls have to be careful not to weigh our curls down.

I found the shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling rough and somewhat like straw. But, my finished hair turned out fine. You should have tried the cantu come back spray. I find it a nice refresher if sprayed on wet hands then scrunched in or diluted pretty well in a sprayer and spray on and scrunch for a really nice refresher. This product is way to strong applied straight.

the conditioner is very slippery, and a little too heavy to use on my hair shaft, but I love it.

I already use this shampoo, but haven’t tried the rest of the line. I just might have ta.
