the South here in the south we all got a
cousin before we get started with this

for a couple of different reasons some
of you may have clicked on this video
because you are interested in learning
how to train your curl some of you may
have never even heard of the term trying
to your curls and some of you may feel
like training your curls is a myth
whatever end of the spectrum you're on
currently watching this video all that X
is that let's just go ahead and respect
everybody's opinion all that I X's is
that you just fight the urge no matter
who you are to talk down or kind of be
self-righteous or you know just really
thick so I wanted to make this video
because it just seems like clockwork
whenever I like go to posting like
actual like hey it shots are like shots
of my curls or videos relating to around
my curls and my wash and gos and things
like that it never fails I start to get
the questions relating to like training
your curls or getting your curls to look
a certain way or you know how did you
make your hair curly like that and I
just kind of wanted to address it once
and for all of course if you have been a
cousin for a long time a lot of the
things I am going to address in this
video I have talked with you guys about
in numerous times in numerous videos and
I'll try to like link all the related
in the description box but again I just
wanted to put it on this video it just
kind of put it to rest once and for all
just keep in mind I am never trying to
force anybody to do what I do to my hair
or use the same ingredients that I do or
the same methods that I do or saying
that this is you know the end-all be-all
that is why first and foremost I tell
you guys whenever you guys get in my
deals or our messages that I cannot give
you personalized hair advice because I
learn I am NOT a professional that's
number one I don't want to be I don't
have a desire to do other people's hair
and number two there's no real way that
I can give you personalized hair advice
having never seen your hair so just keep
in mind this is just Amber's opinion and
then you are free to let me know how you
feel about my opinion in the
conversation so Before we jump into my
three tips for training your curls
let's just talk briefly about what curl
training kids so if you grew up in the
old school like iv8 I say this like I've
said it so many times but you know the
cousins are always growing
I was natural for a very long time or I
have been natural for a long time I
never really wore my hair curly
I just always stay in a salon I got my
hair pressed with a hot comb when people
used to refer in the old days as your
hair being trained it was more so heat
transfers definitely a difference in you
being able to train your curly hair and
with the people in the old days you
consider your hair being trained which
is how tame or how long you get it to be
straight or you know how easily you
could get it to be as far away from your
natural curl powder as possible and I
just want to stress in this video that I
am NOT referring to heat training
because in my opinion heat training is
dangerously close to heat damage now
when I was getting my hair pressed all
throughout house who I didn't get my
first relax ourselves like 18 he try and
get a little sticky and that is more so
if you
who is considering yourself like a
straight natural which is what I was or
what I caught myself back in the day
versus somebody who is just looking to
have their curls like more manageable or
whatever that is good that is not what
we're doing here and a lot of people
have tried like topic about my hair over
the years I have not had a chemical
other than color touch my hair since
2012 which is when I got my last relaxer
and I have not had color
permanent color touch my hair since 2017
all these tips I'm gonna give you on how
I have kept my hair manageable or trendy
like you guys say it's just coming from
my practices and then also the last
thing I want to say in this long list of
disclaimers is just that it takes time
you think of training and you think of
trying anything like even wearing the
whole you're training a dog to night
with no pee in your house it takes time
and it takes a great deal of time and it
takes a lot of repetitive actions over
and over and over again so my first tip
in training your curls is to simply keep
them stretched this is a very simple tip
but this is probably the most used
option for a lot of Naturals whose hair
appears to be some with trains there are
a number of different ways that you can
stretch our hair but since all my tips
are gonna be related around preventing
heat like I'm not invited to puts a lot
of heat in their hair I have not
straightened by here in probably two
years going on three years now me
personally I have very fine hair so I do
like the banding method however the
banding method for me is not something
that I can do in a lot of sessions and
it's not something that I need to do
every night I like to keep my hair
stretch particularly just like these
like my hair is in this hairstyle 97% of
the time if it's in a washing though a
very easy way to keep my hair stretch
he's just a really low ponytail and
a second scrunchie tied around the side
up or tied around it just one time this
keeps my pair stretched at the roots and
it gives my curls longevity and it's
still a cute hairstyle
the main concept with the keeping your
hair stretched is just like low
manipulation in keeping your hair in the
direction and keeping your roots like
happy like keeping them straight keeping
them in the right direction so this is
the best option for me if you keep your
hair stretched over time number one it
is going to drastically reduce the
amount of time that it takes you to
detangle your hair this also causes
lists not list single strand knots
believe it or not because you are not
continuously manipulating and touching
your hair and picking it if listening
you know doing all that stuff that's
causing your hair to intertwine around
each other and this really literally
just trains your hair to stay straight I
don't know the number two way to train
your hair is to pay attention to
productivity
I always hate to bring this up put in
the vo because I am slowly but surely
really dreading discussing product
ingredients on YouTube we all are
treating what the standard for our hair
is and B standard for what everybody has
to put in their hair and I find them
more often than not too many times
people are just kind of like shaming
people for what works in that person's
hair I say all that to say really the
whole like box of training my hair
opened when I decided to be all the
curly girl method it started being
frizzy because I didn't have like all
these silicone barriers on top of my
hair forfeiting moisture from getting in
and cause my hair is frizzy I personally
prefer when I can't help it like I said
I've been trying a lot of different
products recently that do contain
silicones because I just did working
with different brands but when I am just
you know by myself and I work as anybody
and I can
it's like my personal hair regimen I
prefer not to use silicone so that way I
don't have to worry about putting
something in my hair I can like get in
the shower if once they can keep my bare
stretch
I don't like watch my hair free I don't
let my hair like you all the swinging in
the shower it looks cool in the videos I
don't do that stick with them especially
if you are not somebody in my position
whereas you're like a natural hair
product reviewer blogger you're not
somebody who is constantly happy to try
different products for your job sticking
with one product is crucial that is
really important and that is a big key
and training your hair is just your hair
knowing what it's going to give you know
so give your hair and great and let it
get a custom to what it's doing and you
will be surprised how trained your curls
get and then last but not least my last
tip for training your curls is manual
training like what you continuously do
to your hair is how you're going to
train your hair to be so everybody
always ask me like how do you get your
hair to clump like that
I have shingled my hair so much and I
have constantly shingling jail and
shingling my like twisting creams even
if I'm not about to like watching book
on the rare coat doing a twist out still
gonna shingle the products before I
start twisting my hair pretty much to
say clumps and shingled email like when
I'm watching it my hair just at this
point like it wasn't always like that
when I first the first year probably
after being chopped in to go bad natural
my hair did not naturally clump my hair
was just like a loosey goosey just
frizzy all kind of MIT same thing is you
know as Naturals when they say we have
that like that chicken all of you
working for sections we have like that
permanent middle part that essentially
is the same concept and that's it guys I
know these tips are really simple but it
was Nancy I love you guys so much I feel
like I have not told you guys that he
ain't such a long time we are almost at
90 K and I appreciate all my cousins old
and new before you leave make sure that
you're a cousin to
