- If you've been looking for a way
to keep your curls less frizzy, more defined,
and lasting longer, then you're watching the right video
because today, I'm gonna be showing you
how I've been keeping my curls looking fabulous
with a hair clay.
(horns trumpeting)
Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel.
My name's Thomas, if you're brand new here
and I make styling hair-related videos
every single week here on YouTube.
So if that's your kind of thing,
make sure you hit the subscribe button and come back.
So today we're talking about hair curling.
If you are brand new here,
I've been growing my hair out for over a year now
and my favourite thing to do is play with my curls.
Now, a couple of weeks ago I did a video
about a wash-and-go routine, with my friend Mike.
It actually was really cool.
Wash-and-go's have been great for,
especially for dry, frizzy hair types like mine.
It defined my curls a lot better and it kept it moisturised.
So in terms of products for wash-and-go's,
there was three products that I use.
There was the Aunt Jackie's Flax Seed Gel,
which I'm kind of a fan, not really.
It's not my favourite thing.
There's also the SheaMoisture Styling Lotion,
and there was also the Jane Carter Solution.
All three of these products mixed together
made a really good curl combination,
however, I wasn't too much of a fan
of the flax seed gel and I thought,
"How could I make this a little bit different?"
And in my curiosity, I was like, well,
I've got hair clays and I know hair clays are great
for adding texture, a bit of body.
I thought I would add in the Cavalier Clay first
to see if it would help define my curls.
It did indeed work, because the Cavalier Clay
is a solid hold product.
It really gave the curls that definition.
However, because it's such a hard hold product,
they were very stiff and they weren't bouncy
and beautiful like the ones I have today.
I thought about it a little bit more and I went,
"Hang on a minute.
"Hybrid Cream Clay is probably the best thing for this."
Because A, it's a cream, it's easy to apply,
it could probably mesh with the styling lotion
and the Jane Carter Solution very well.
But not only that, it has the clay properties as well
that are gonna give me nice texture.
The other thing on top of it, was the Hybrid Cream Clay
has a delayed hot activation in it,
which means once you've put it on the hair,
it actually starts to set within 15 minutes afterwards.
It's designed like that, so by rights,
I thought well, if I apply this to wet curls,
while my curls are drying, the delayed hold activation
will hold them in place and hopefully, decrease frizz,
which is exactly what you're seeing right now.
So now I've finally found something
that actually works for me.
There is a process to it, obviously,
like every hair routine that I do.
You don't need every single product in this range.
The products that I'm using here today are just pretty much
because I have such dry hair.
If your hair is not on the drier side,
you can probably get away without using the SheaMoisture
'cause this one really is for moisturising.
But, essentially, what I do to get
these curls rocking is I'll start off with a leave-in cream,
my Bhave leave-in cream.
It's my old faithful.
I pretty much use it every single day.
And then, once I've applied that,
I will part my hair down the middle.
So I do this in two sections.
I'll part it on this side, part it on that side,
and then I will merge all three of these products together.
So a tiny, tiny, tiny little bit
of the Jane Carter Solution.
You don't want too much of this
'cause if you use too much it gets very oily.
Then I'll put the SheaMoisture,
and then I'll put a lump of my Hybrid Cream Clay.
Once all of it is on my palm,
I'll just mix it all together
and then add it to my section of hair,
and then do the same on the other side.
And then all you have to do is let it air dry
and then you get this.
(bell dings)
And that's pretty much as easy as it needs to be.
Like, literally, you could probably get away
with just a leave-in conditioner and the clay.
Hybrid Cream Clay is probably your best bet
simply because of the delayed hold activation,
the texturizing properties
and the easiness of application.
It's really, really all-in-one product
and it's pretty much as simple as that.
I never thought like a clay
was gonna work so well for my hair.
I did use to think hair clays were just for people
with short, 50 hair styles
that wanted to make it look real swish.
But, I've actually defied that and you can as well
and I just really wanted to bring that
and share that with you today.
It's gonna be great for people with waves.
If you've got waves that frizz out all the time
or you've got real curls like I do,
I would definitely suggest doing something like this.
You don't need all the products that I've used.
I would probably, at minimum,
use like a leave-in conditioner and the cream clay.
That's probably your best bet.
And trust me, you will see a difference.
And if any of you do try this out as well,
please make sure you let me know
in the comment section below
because I'm always keen to hear about it.
And, yeah, I want to know more.
So that's pretty much all I have for you today.
I really hope you enjoyed this video
and I can't wait to hear about your rocking curls.
I do have a Facebook group as well
for anybody that is brand new.
It's called Hairstyles in Action
and what we do in there,
we just kind of encourage each other to have better hair
and stick through the growing out process.
So if that's something that you're into,
please make sure you visit that
and I'll see you next week for another video.
See you later.
