00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,100
Hey and welcome to my new youtube video

2
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,000
My name is Maite for those of you that don't 
know me yet

3
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:38,100
Today I'm gonna show you how I get those 
beautiful curls to shine

4
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,100
Enjoy !

5
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,000
we start right after the shower. first let's 
remove this cap

6
00:00:53,100 --> 00:01:06,700
So the hair are still wet. I dyed them yesterday 
because I wanted them brighter for so long

7
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:16,600
but because dying always brings some hair 
damage with it, I hesitated for about......

8
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,900
8 months !

9
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:32,600
but because I waited for quite some time 
the hair were fully regenerated from last 
time and they didn't break as much this time

10
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:37,500
Also a regular care routine is essential

11
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,800
they grew a bit as well

12
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:48,700
let's dive into the styling part...

13
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,600
First product I use in my styling routine 
is

14
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:58,500
this leave in conditioner

15
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:09,100
it's my basis, and I keep my hair as wet 
as possible to apply it, in order for the 
product to get properly sucked in

16
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:21,600
I "separate" the zones and always start at 
the bottom and make my way to the top

17
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:37,500
it has a creamy texture, gives away lots 
of humidity

18
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,400
distribute it evenly across the palms

19
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:47,300
apply it with the fingertips

20
00:02:47,400 --> 00:03:00,800
it could be done with a comb but I prefer 
the fingers, which increases the feeling 
of what you're doing

21
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:05,700
and IMO it's better for the hair overall 
and gives the best definition

22
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:35,100
I also like to crunch it a little sorry bad 
reflex of putting it in my mouth all the 
time

23
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:35,100
sorry bad reflex of putting it in my mouth 
all the time

24
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,800
No need to really save on this product, be 
generous

25
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,600
Curly hair need this, and enough of it!

26
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:11,600
if you were asking yourself why I look at 
the side here, it's because my mirror is 
there

27
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:23,600
my hair in the back are always the dryest, 
so I take an extra portion of conditioner

28
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,300
Damn bad habits !

29
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:52,100
I don't use any specific object to separate 
the hair

30
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,600
I just do it based on my feeling

31
00:04:55,700 --> 00:05:05,400
I just make sure that the entirety of the 
hair gets treated

32
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:10,300
super important

33
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,200
All my curly girls out there know this

34
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,000


35
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:29,900


36
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,800


37
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:41,700
don't worry about over-using leave in, curly 
hair won't get flat or heavy from it

38
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,600


39
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:51,500


40
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,400


41
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:01,300


42
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,200


43
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:11,100
now the front part

44
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,000
time to set the parting where you want it 
for later

45
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:24,700
I personally put it above the right inner 
eyebrow point

46
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,600


47
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:34,500
I know I'm not all too delicate lol

48
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,400
make sure it's straight

49
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:44,300
that's good for me

50
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,200


51
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:54,100


52
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,000


53
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:05,800
Now the leave in conditioner is completely 
applied

54
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,700
and it's time for the next step, which is

55
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,600
crunching

56
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:17,500


57
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:24,200
like this, so the conditioner gets nicely 
absorbed by the curls

58
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:29,100
and it helps the curls adopt their future 
form

59
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:38,100


60
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,000
Let it soak in for 5 minutes

61
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:47,900
after these 5 minutes, next step:

62
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,800
the styling cream

63
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:57,700


64
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:11,400
the market has like thousands of them. I 
love the deva curl one

65
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:16,300


66
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,200
for this one, I don't use much

67
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:26,100
a small amount of it already does wonders

68
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,000
also, no need to separate the hair for this

69
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:35,900
just take 3 pumps and apply them

70
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000


71
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,900
I crunch it as well

72
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,800


73
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:52,700
I put an emphasys on the tips more than on 
the roots

74
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,600


75
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:02,500


76
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,400


77
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:20,400
I pay particularly attention to this side

78
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:39,700
because the inside layer gets strained and 
stressed the most due to clothes put on and 
off, turning the head, etc...it can lose 
definition and the curls may stretch

79
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,600


80
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:50,400


81
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:55,300
again, I let it soak in for 5 minutes...

82
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,200
after this pause we move on the the next 
step

83
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:05,100
where I use a microfiber cloth

84
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:19,600
to remove any trace of superficial product 
and grant the hair some lightness. The lighter 
the curls, the more fluffy they'll become

85
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:33,400


86
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:38,300
head heading down, cloth gently brought thru 
the hair

87
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:54,300


88
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,200
next up it's time for the fixing gel

89
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:04,100
to fix everything nicely

90
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,000
not too much of it

91
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:19,000
because we want to avoid this "hardened" 
or dry look

92
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:23,900


93
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,100
same process of moving the head forward and 
down for the same reason of emphasyzing the 
tips

94
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,800
apply only in the tips

95
00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:50,200


96
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:55,100
crunching is one of the most important process

97
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,000
with all the different products

98
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:04,900


99
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,800
we want to make sure it's gonna be a nice, 
defined curl

100
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:17,200


101
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:22,100
extra drop for the back

102
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:27,000


103
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:38,100
you can use whatever fixing gel you want, 
I just go with the Aussie one

104
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,000
because it has nourishing and humidity properties

105
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:50,700
doesn't have too much alcohol in it either,

106
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,600
which is bad for the hair and makes them 
dry

107
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:09,600
again, wait 5 minutes before the next step

108
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:14,500


109
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,500
so now two options: I could either stop here 
and let the hair go naturally dry

110
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:27,700
or (and because it's rather cold outside 
rn) I'll use a hair dryer

111
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:42,400
I use a model with a diffuser

112
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:47,300
which is the best way to dry curls of all 
sizes

113
00:13:47,400 --> 00:14:05,000
by only using the flat head dryer, you only 
get the curls mixed up, and with the diffuser 
you can isolate them and work better

114
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:10,600
Never use hot air, always cool or medium, 
but not hot which breaks the hair and damages 
the tips

115
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:15,500
and that's not the point of all this

116
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,400


117
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:35,300


118
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:41,200
I never dry my hair in one session, but always 
do like 3 sets and wait 5 minutes in between

119
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:46,100
better result, and prettier hair overall

120
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:55,200
doing it in one shot would not make them 
100% dry and also can alter the structure 
of the curls (overheating)

121
00:14:55,300 --> 00:15:00,100
which we don't want, right girls?

122
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:33,400


123
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:38,300


124
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,200
after the second wave you can notice some 
great changes already

125
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:48,100
more volume, more puffyness

126
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,000


127
00:15:53,100 --> 00:16:21,900


128
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,800
we're getting there

129
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:31,700
roundness and volume are showing

130
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,600
notice how well nourished they look

131
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:41,500
for the last hair dryer session (if you do 
one) you can remove the diffuser

132
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,400
since the curls are so fixed, nothing bad 
can happen at this point

133
00:16:46,500 --> 00:17:04,800


134
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:09,700
it's kind of a finisher to dry the roots

135
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:21,100
The longer the hair and the thiner the curls, 
the more it makes sense for a 4th drying 
session, to be 100% sure everything is on 
point

136
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,000


137
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:52,700


138
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,600


139
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:02,500


140
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,400
that's the final result babes

141
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:12,300


142
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:18,600
to me personally it's still a bit 'flat', 
so if you feel the same way you can apply 
an extra product

143
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:23,500
to bring in some more explosivity

144
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,400


145
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:33,300
it's gonna be a reconstruction oil

146
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,200
doesn't matter which one you choose

147
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:43,100
...just make sure it's a light oil and not 
a heavy consistency

148
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,000
which could be contra-productive

149
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:52,900
just 2 pumps

150
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,800


151
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:02,700
apply all over your palms

152
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,600
and crunch

153
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:12,500


154
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,400


155
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:22,300
as you can see the curls start to glow, open 
up with the oil

156
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:28,900
that's my secret tip to get the last volume 
effect into your curls

157
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,800


158
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:38,700
see the difference ?

159
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,600


160
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:48,500


161
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,400


162
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:58,300
2 more pumps for the back, as always

163
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,200


164
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:08,100
the back needs extra care IMO, for obvious 
reasons (sleep on the pillow, jackets/sweaters, 
etc...)

165
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,000


166
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:17,900


167
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,800
you can apply it on the top as a finisher

168
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:27,700


169
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,600
last step: because the top is often flat, 
you can help by using...

170
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:37,500


171
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:45,300
an afro-pick

172
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,200


173
00:20:55,100 --> 00:21:08,800
please not literally pick inwards or comb, 
but gently elevate the base of the hair

174
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:13,700
do not break the structure

175
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,600


176
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:23,500


177
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:30,900


178
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,800
this is it !

179
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:40,700
there's not much more you can do tbh

180
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,600
I really love the end result

181
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:50,500
when the hair is dry, you can touch it as 
many times as you like

182
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:56,200
keep in mind that the more you play with 
your curls, they more the will flat out over 
time

183
00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:01,100
