Just two wavy girls very sweetly arguing about hair on the internet. 😂🤝➰
Tune in TODAY at 1 PM Central to watch Alyson and me argue some more. 😂💕 Episode 5 of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet is all about everything we’d buy again for our curly hair if we had to start over tomorrow. 👀🛍️

And yes… I’m sure we’ll agree on absolutely everything. 😇😂

🎙️ New episode today at 1 PM Central!

Is that short, fuzzy hair around your halo new growth… or breakage?

In this clip, we’re breaking down how to tell the difference by looking at the way the hair is growing, how it lays, and the shape of the ends.

Also, please enjoy the fact that this is my very first post about Two Wavy Girls on the Internet… and I’m sharing a clip from season 3, episode 4. 😂 I probably should’ve been talking about the podcast a little sooner, but here we are!

This was a live question from one of our listeners, which is one of my favorite parts of the podcast. We include a Q&A in every episode, and when you tune in live, you can ask us your own hair questions and hear us answer them in real time. 💬

This clip is from episode 4: Why Some Haircuts Make Wavy Hair Look Terrible.

Watch the full episode on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. If you wanna catch our next live recording, we’ll see you on YouTube Monday 1 PM central standard time!

There's something so sweet about a returning client. 🥰 The first curly appointment is the hard part, where we build your shape from scratch and figure out your curls together. But after that? You come back and it's easy. Today was just a little trim, a little shape cleanup, and keeping all that healthy length we already built. She's been embracing her p**fy 90s Julia Roberts curls, and I am HERE for it.

Curlies, are you a "let it p**f and live" girly, or do you like it defined? 👇

Ever have that ONE piece of hair that refuses to lay right no matter what you do? 🙃 It's not you, and it's not a bad haircut. It's your growth pattern, aka the direction your hair decides to grow with zero input from you. You can't fight it, so the trick is working WITH it. We feathered her rebellious front piece so it swoops soft instead of stabbing her in the eyeball, took a little weight off for volume, and boom. Happy hair. 🥰

Tell me: where's YOUR wildest growth pattern? Cowlick? Face-swooper? The mysterious back p**f? 👇

Ever notice your layers start to look a little uneven or "stacked" after a few months of growing out? 🤔 Totally normal, and it happens to the best haircuts. As curly layers grow, they settle differently around the round shape of your head, so what was seamless at your last cut can shift over time. That's just hair being hair. She wanted to bring everything closer to one length, but here's the curly catch: going fully one length can give you that triangle shape. 🎄 So we softened her layers, kept just enough movement, and landed it right at the top of her shoulders like she asked.

Curlies, have y'all ever fought the triangle? 👇

A year in a bun and she was scared to trust another stylist with her hair. 🙈 So we kept it simple: took off the dead weight, kept her length, and finally let those curls out of hair jail. Look at the difference a little cut and the right styling makes. 🥰

If you've been putting off a haircut because of one bad experience, this is your sign. What are you waiting on? 👇

Here's a little stylist secret: when you're nervous to lose length, I'll show you the bare minimum we HAVE to take and the maximum I'd go, then we meet in the middle where you feel good. 💇‍♀️ No surprises, no tears. You should always know exactly what's happening before I pick up my scissors.

Oh, and fun fact: your hair grows fastest in summer. We're basically plants. 🌱☀️

Would you rather your stylist take the safe minimum or go for the big change? 👇

Real talk: describing what you want done to your hair is HARD. 🥴 Most of us don't have the words for it, and honestly that's not on you. A big part of my job is translating "I want it to look good but also easy" into an actual haircut. So if you've ever sat in the chair and blanked on how to explain what you wanted, same. You're so normal.

What's the hardest part of explaining what you want to your stylist? 👇

Have y'all ever left a hair appointment in tears? 😢 Because she had. So many bad experiences that she gave up and pulled her hair up every single day for a whole YEAR. By the time she got to my chair, she was straight up scared. So we slowed down and really listened to what she wanted.

Tell me in the comments: what's the WORST haircut experience you've ever had? I know I'm not the only one with a horror story. 👇
