We recently hosted a live Wavy & Curly Hangout on YouTube — and it was such a fun session packed with practical curl advice! I was joined by Courtney (@SwavyCurlyCourtney), a fellow curly content creator who specializes in wavy hair. She’s also a hairstylist in training and is now taking haircut clients locally in Texas.
Together, we answered your live and pre-submitted questions about wavy and curly haircuts, products, techniques, and troubleshooting common challenges.
