hey y'all welcome back to my channel if you are new my name is kobe lomax and i am the ceo of ceo of curly hair if you are unfamiliar and today i will be showing you guys my curly hair routine my updated curly hair routine this has been so highly requested you guys have been asking me just about every other day to drop the video and i told you guys i've been working on it but like i just started doing this new routine and so like i'm like i have to do it a couple of times like i'm not just gonna do this routine one time and be like this is my routine like you know i gotta try it multiple times learn some things along the way and like really figure out if this is a routine that i can consistently get good results with before i'm gonna sit here and say hey y'all this is my routine you know so that's why there was such a hold up and a delay but wait no longer it is finally here and i really hope it's helpful i really hope you guys enjoy it and um yeah let's get into it [Music] all right so this routine starts off like most other routines uh in the shower so i what i do is i wet my hair i just wet it up really good and then i go in with the shampoo i used to not be very specific on the shampoos that i use but now more recently i have actually been very specific about the shampoo that i use because i am starting to notice a difference with like using a quality shampoo with quality ingredients and one that doesn't really strip your hair but like just kind of supports your overall hair health it really does make a difference in like the whole process of the thing i know before i was like you're just washing your hair using any shampoo but now i have been using the natural shampoo consistently every single time i'm always grabbing for it is so good i'm still using it every week it really cleanses your hair gets your hair super clean but it doesn't dry out at all it just feels so luxury so nourishing to your hair like it's it's really amazing so yeah i just get the shampoo and make sure to get everywhere on my scalp that's very important the whole reason why you're shampooing is to clear off your scalp i've been watching these videos lately of this like microscope that can go in and see your scalp and guys the gunk in like this nastiness that can lay on your scalp that you don't even know because you can't even you don't even see it you know it's kind of gross and so i'll put in a clip and so it's so important to get your scalp clean clean clean clean clean so you're getting that shampoo in there and you don't have to scrape your hair but just with your fingers and some pressure like this you know and just get in there and really make sure all of your scalp is clean your entire scalp is clean then after that i rinse it out and then i'm normally going with a conditioner but sometimes like this time i didn't use the conditioner i just went straight to deep conditioner and the deep conditioner that i used was the tgi in this tgi and deep conditioner oh my goodness y'all when i tell you this deep conditioner is the best the number one deep conditioner i've ever used for moisture okay you feel it instantly it instantly makes your hair so soft so smooth extremely moisturized and also another thing too with that conditioner is a little bit goes a long way like you just put some on and this is what i did i put some on and then in the shower you kind of like wet your hair a little bit and it just it's it's beautiful it's so good so yeah i went in with that deep conditioner and i also detangled i have been using this like wet brush to detangle lately it's been like working really good and i definitely find that when i put deep conditioner in and then you like run your head under the water just like a little tiny bit just to add some water to the deep conditioner it like really makes it have this incredible slit so i kind of do that and then i just brush brush my hair starting from the ends and working my way up to the top being very extremely gentle with this like so gentle guys you don't want to be ripping your hair out you don't want to be snagging your hair you don't want to hear a bunch of snap crackles and pops you know when you're brushing your hair you just wanted to easily gently you know start from the bottom and work your way up to detangle your whole entire head once i do that i put all my hair up in a bun on top of my head and i put some deep conditioner around the edges a lot of times the edges of your hair get so neglected so what i've been doing is making sure i am putting deep conditioner um on my edges to make sure i'm taking care of those two and honestly those pieces of hair have been getting longer like growing a lot so that's a very important tip i know it's so easy to just neglect and kind of forget about but it's very important after i put a plastic cap on my head normally it's a target bag and so i just put the target back on my head and i twist it up i put it on and i just leave it on there for like 15 to 20 minutes typically what i recommend with deep conditioners is follow whatever the instructions say on the package because most of the time these companies who make these products have like tested them and like found out that like okay anything past this time it doesn't really do anything more or anything less than this time is kind of not getting the full results or whatever so i just recommend normally always go with whatever time they say on the bottle when it comes to deep conditioning and then after that i took the plastic cap off rinse my hair out and then it comes time to style so i use a leave-in and i have quite a few leave-ins that i really like but this as i am leaving that i used in this video was actually my first time using this and it is so good i was very very very impressed with this leave-in super moisturizing a lot of slit very smoothing on the hair and it also works really well with other products so normally how i do leave it is i put work all the leave-in in first because i don't want any of my hair to just be sitting dry you know what i'm saying so i'll take my head in two sections and i'll work leaving in one section of my head one part of my hair and then i'll work leaving in the other part of my hair until there's leave-in all over my hair and when it comes to the leave-in you really want to use a good amount for two reasons you want your hair to be moisturized i used to not use a lot of leave-in because i kind of just thought okay i got a little bit on there like it's fine i can move on to my gel now you know but what i found out is that you really want your hair to be moisturized and the more moisture you can put into it while you're styling it the longer that moisture is going to last but two guys the more leave-in you use when you use gels like eco styler gel and stuff that has a gel cast on it it makes the cast go away like i find whenever i use a lot of leave-in my hair is not crunchy versus if i use a little bit of leave-in my hair is crunchy now you guys know i don't mind crunch because it makes your hair last longer but that was the observation that i found out whenever i used a lot of leave-in my hair was not crunchy like it was very soft you know very soft very shiny very just like yes you know so i worked leaving all over my hair after all that we're here so i went ahead and already did the back of my hair and like literally these curls are literally flawless no frizz at all like perfect curls i'm about to show y'all how i do this all right so basically this is what you do okay so you're gonna take a section and this is my secret to creating perfect curls so you're gonna take a section y'all know i don't like to have a middle part so i work in like sections of three alright so this is what you do so you're gonna take a section now i already have some leave-in in there but i kind of want to add a little bit more guys when you're doing this routine the more leave-in you use the softer your curls are going to be so you know how like for example i'm going to be using eco styler gel to style my hair and you know how sometimes they can leave a hard cast and make your hair crunchy well the more leave-in you use under it the softer your hair is going to be so like lately i haven't been having a cast at all now i kind of like the cast because like when i have the cast my hair lasts like seven eight days where when i don't have the cast my hair lasts like four days but it's kind of nice to have the cast because it makes your hair last a little bit longer but sometimes like you really want to have soft nice juicy curls the first day or even the second day so so next we're gonna go in after we have a lot of leave-in in what i'm gonna do now is i'm gonna go straight in with the gel my hair is like wet but it's not like soaking wet but i'm gonna explain why this process works so you put the gel on and you put a like kind of a lot like the way i like to say it is you want to you want it to feel like you have hair on your gel not like you're putting gel on your hair but like you have hair on your gel like you see how like i use so much like look my hair is like this i thought this is kind of what you want right because now i'm going to add a little bit of water to make my hair slippery now if you have a gel that has like a lot of slip like the kinky curly curling cut so you're probably fine you don't even have to add water but adding the water makes it a little bit more slippery there's going to be a point where it's too much water and it becomes less slippery but i'm just going to add a little bit it's just going to make this a little bit more slippery and see now all of a sudden it's like a little slippery and then what i do is i just like take the take a curl and i just do this and you can do while with doing this you can make big curls and you can make small curls you know and it's they're just different looks so it's really up to you i kind of like to do a little bit big curls it just makes my hair like really nice and then also i can i have the option of the choice to break up the curls and it makes them like really pop but yeah so i just do that and then the reason why you want your hair slippery is because when you're doing this and then you're pulling it you don't want it your hair to be like ripping while you're pulling it so you want it to be slippery so that's why when you add a little bit of water after you put the gel on in the leave-in it just kind of gets slippery and that's like a perfect perfect like consistency or like slipperiness for you to be able to go in and um do this without like a lot of friction and without you know ripping your hair out or breaking it off or anything like that because when you pull it like there have been a couple instances where my hair wasn't slippery enough and that's how i found out that i could add water to it and make it more supreme that's what i'll be talking about when i'll be telling y'all like you have to try stuff you know i'm still trying stuff and learning stuff when i was doing this i kind of found myself like ripping out some hairs you know like i heard snaps and i was like oh i don't want to be doing that and i realized oh maybe if i add some water it makes it a little bit more slippery and tried a couple times i was like oh okay that works but so now we're going to do is i'm just going to wipe my hands off normally i would just rinse them off under the sink because there's like stuff on it okay now what you're going to do is you see my hair is like this looks crazy but now it's going to do is add water so you're just going to spray it like crazy and i like to normally turn my head to the side [Music] i like literally get it dripping soaking wet and then you just start lightly scrunching it see how that white stuff just disappears and my hair is like shiny like so shiny and when you add water it's something about it makes your curls super defined like it takes away all the frizz but you have to do it after the gel is already on it's almost like when you're doing the gel and you're doing the coils you're setting your hair how you want it to be and then when you add the water it's like taking away all the frizz and like sort of like cementing it in and then with this like slight scrunching mixed with the water and the gel it just makes your curls pop do y'all see this i wish i could see it in real life it looks like flawless and so that's the routine and i just do that all over my head and literally my curls turn out so perfect yeah so i'm gonna do these last two sections then we're gonna move on to the next step okay i wanted to get into a little bit of a detail of how i do this and this is a really good angle so when i'm doing this i'm taking my finger i'm going one two three and then just pull it sometimes i do a little bit more like i'm not really counting like one two three but you're just wrapping it around and then pulling it out and that's why you want it to be slippery so you're not pulling your hair out or your finger doesn't get stuck you end up ripping hair out you just want it to glide out this makes the curls just like more curly instead of spirally and it's just like a really good look really good look all right so now that my hair is all nice and juicy and defined literally perfectly defined no frizz it's dripping wet so now what i do is i take a shirt because i just want that dripping wet to stop then i'll go ahead and diffuse it but i don't want to diffuse my hair while it's dripping wet i feel like that might not be good for your hair but then two i don't want water dripping in my diffuser you know what i'm saying so what you do is you take a shirt put my head over and i like open the bottom of the shirt i put my hair in it and then put my head back over shake the curls so that they're like laying down and then i'll just do like this tuck it behind my ears and right here behind make sure the hair is in in the shirt and then i just take like a hair tie or a hair clip i take this hair tie and just like kind of tie in a knot try not to get any of the hair in the knot but just just to get the shirt to stay so boom like that then what i'll do is i'll like kind of just like do like this i'm kind of just like patting the shirt on my hair because this is like getting that dripping water just like in the shirt and off your hair and then i'll just walk around with this for like a couple minutes like probably like 10 minutes 20 minutes if you want to you can like you know bring this shirt up or like whatever you want to do with the end i just literally just leave it down and you just walk around like this and you're just kind of giving your hair a second to like almost kind of set but also to kind of get that water off of your head and then we are going to diffuse diffusing has been a complete game changer for me i used to just let my hair air dry but then it would just dry wherever it wanted to and it would be kind of like messy for a while and then like finally like on day two day three it'll start to look okay but recently y'all i have been diffusing my hair like right after like in about 10 to 15 minutes from now i'm gonna be diffusing my hair completely dry i'm able to dry my hair where i want it to be i don't have to go to sleep with wet hair i don't have to like deal with all of that it's just like it's just really a game changer and i'm i'm like yo i've been missing out all this time i've been just letting my hair air dry and it takes like 30 hours literally to for my hair to dry and i just been doing that where now i'm diffusing it it normally takes an hour and a half to diffuse but i just got the dyson diffuser for christmas which i'm so excited because apparently it's supposed to be able to have my hair dry in like 10 to 20 minutes which is a huge time saver for me but diffusing in general just drawing your hair in general is has been a game changer and it also helps your hair a lot too because what i found out was your hair is at its weakest actually when it's wet and so if you're just going around going throughout your day with your hair wet like in a way you're kind of damaging your hair it's not anything that's going to kill your hair or whatever but it is doing damage to your hair because your hair is at its weak state and it's being affected by all these environmental aggressors and things like that and so it's actually better for you to have your hair dry than just let it air dry and it'd be wet for hours so all right y'all so now i'm taking the shirt off you can see my hair is like kind of flat and the curls are all like mushed together so what i do is i turn my head upside down and shake my hair around to get the curls to kind of break up again and then i take the dryer and what i do is i turn my head upside down and slowly pick my head up so that my hair falls where i want it to then i go ahead and i take the dryer and then i dry my hair like leaning off of my head so like instead of just putting the dryer on my head and starting to dry my hair i turn my head like to the side to let my hair fall and then i dry it like that it just kind of helps it to like get volume and like dry up on your head versus like just laying down and being flat and looking like kind of like mushroom head type situation you know what i'm saying i don't know if that made any sense but like that yeah i think you guys get what i'm saying i hope so um and then also when i take this dryer off like you're gonna be able to see like how i got it got some more volume like my hair is not hanging all the way down to my face anymore it's like starting to shrink up and like yeah this is just a complete game changer like i said i used to let my hair air dry all the time now i'm diffusing every single time i do my hair all right so this is my hair completely dry and once again curls flawless all this is so shiny so nice all right so this is my hair this is the finished result with my hair completely dry is now the next day well the next night actually these are the finished results alright so now i'm getting close so you guys can see so then what i do is i just kind of take some big curls i kind of just feel around almost sort of like a twist out find some ones that are like really kind of big or that need to be separated like this one and see it naturally just separates and that my friends is my curly hair routine so i really hope that this was helpful you guys have been asking me like crazy about this so i really hope that this video was able to help you out kind of just fluffing it around i do this all the time it's fluffing around trying to get the shape that i that i want that i like but yeah this is it this is the routine this is what i do this is what i have been doing and i have been loving it i also want to mention that my hair is going to look better as the days go on so like pretty much throughout the day it looked kind of like even now it still looks a little bit flat but as the days go on it kind of gets bigger and bigger and a little bit frizzier and like it just starts to look really really flawless like tomorrow i'm sure my hair's gonna look really really good and like day two three four are like perfect hair days like if i have anything special going on or if i'm going to take pictures or if i'm going to do anything like that i normally try to do that stuff on like day 3 4 curls because
