You can either post the ingredients of your conditioner here or PM them to me, and I will double check if you want. :) You will want to experiment with how long you plop for. It could be that a shorter amount of time would work better for you. Also do you have short hair? Sometimes plopping causes weird curls if you have short hair. Also you want to make sure to place the hair neatly into the plop.

Yes, usually a good curly routine includes leaving in some conditioner. You can leave in the conditioner you use in the shower or you can apply a separate leave in after rinsing out most of the one in your shower. (It's up to you.) The conditioner keeps the hair moisturized under our stylers and helps prevent frizz.

I wash my hair every other day. For root frizz, I recommend smoothing on products right from the root and then down (especially your gel).When your hair is still damp you can use a little extra gel if any frizz has popped up.

About three years. But I wasn't been actively focused on retaining length until about 9 months ago--ie I would get my hair cut shortish for the summers a lot.

There are lots of tips for volume in my voluminous curls tutorial. Here are a few. Make sure to scrunch the area where you want more volume a lot. Scrunch and hold right at the roots. Style your hair upside down. Also after I take down my plop I flip my head upside down and shake out the curls for more volume. Hope that helps!

I apply it exactly how I apply the curl keeper in this video. :) It's the same serum like consistency. I use less in the winter, more in the summer. I usually put my hair in two big sections, and just smooth on the product with my hands and then do a little scrunching.

(cont) You can retwirl weird curls with your fingers and water. By freezing do you mean crunch from the product? That should go away when your hair is fully dry, and if not you can just scrunch out the texture with your hands. Wind is pretty annoying. Using a hard hold gel and going out when your hair is dry helps. The easiest solution for keeping your hair perfect is to drape a scarf around your head, or put it in a loose pony while you're out and about.

For me it makes the biggest different in humid environments or seasons. The curl keeper product is based in Canada, so you can only buy it online. However a good drugstore dupe of the product is KY or CVS (or other offbrand) personal lubricants. I mentioned this in my new best of the best stylers video; you may want to check that as well as the conditioner one out. :) Anywho they are formulated really similarly, so you can test out how the lube works for you and see if you want to invest in CK

Well if you are still going to shower at night you could try showering a couple hours before bed. That way your hair would be mostly dry. I would also make sure you are sleeping on a satin pillowcase or using some kind of bonnet. For me personally, I usually wash my hair in the morning during the winter (every other day). You can then diffuse your hair if you don't want to leave the house with wet hair.

Hi, Sarah - I've been following you quite a while now, and can't tell you how much you changed my life, literally! For those of us who struggled for years with curly, frizzy, coarse, incorrigible hair, you have been a blessing! So thank you for that. And now a wee little favor returned... have you seen the captioning on this particular video? I wanted to go back to this one to be sure I'd been following the same sequence as you, and to double-check on the GVP conditioner. Oh my gosh, it is a good thing I didn't need to pee (hope that isn't TMI) when I watched, because the captions are hilarious. I'd never used the captions on your videos before, but just did, and I think I may have snort-laughed. What on earth? I hope any hearing-impaired viewers can read lips or they'd never figure out what you are explaining. Oh, my. Hope you enjoy this half as much as I did. :-)

Hi there :) The curly girl method is not going to change the curl pattern in your hair a whole lot, unfortunately. You can keep trying with gels, curl enhancing products, diffusing with a blowdryer, etc. but as you have noticed your hair will probably revert to its natural state. You can check out my voluminous curls tutorial for tips on enhancing though. I personally think wavy hair is gorgeous! Embrace the texture you have. :) And for special occasions you could add curls with a curling iron.

Are you having problems with just second day hair, or also 1st day hair? I read your post as just second day hair, but I'm not sure. For the straight sections what I would do is spray them with water, and then apply a little more product and scrunch. As far as the rest of your hair, by messy I assume you mean frizzy. What you may want to do is just switch up your products. It could be a change in the seasons that is causing the problem. If your hair feels dry, do a moisturizing treatment

Heard about these on curly forums, and they are all "CG" and a good place to start.
