Please do a video on which makeup brushes to buy 🙏🙏💜
Thank you! 04:40 finally someone who does this slowly enough for my brain to process what I'm supposed to do with my hand/wrist and the curling iron. Knowing me, I'll re-watch this video on half speed.😄I have a wide face, so I think (without having tried it) that the softer more natural wave will look better on me.
I truly enjoy these tutorials. It's very helpful to be able to watch the techniques you use throughout the entire styling process. I've gotten much better at styling my hair by watching these videos! Thank you and please continue to provide such informative content!
I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials. I appreciate the support.
This is actually my favorite video. I love longer videos that are between 20 and 30 minutes long. That's at least the time I need to style my hair or do my make-up and I find it really helpful to have a tutorial playing in the background during that time. Good idea, Gabi, love it!
Glad you love it! Thanks for commenting. I appreciate the support.
I'll have to practice with the iron off on this one. You do the best demos and show so much versatility. Thank you!
Yes!!! You absolutely should practise with the iron off. Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing 💕
Hello Gabi, I think this wavy hairstyle suits you very well and you look very beautiful with it. Thanks for this tutorial
Aaw thank you Audrey. You are the sweetest and always so supportive. It means so much to me.
I really want to learn this one and will have to slow it down, re-watch and practice it because I love the look, but have never been able to get it to work. Thank you for sharing this is in so much detail.
I hope it works for you!
The detail was perfect. I curled while you curled. I watch a few shorts but still didn't get it. Now I get it. Thank you
Oh thank you Gabi, I will follow along step by step because you go through every step so thoroughly. This is my favorite hairstyle !
Thank you so much for this detailed video! It is such a great help to be able to see the technique more than twice.
Totally worked and faster than the old wrapping and pinning I used to do! Thank you!
Mar '24, have been bingeing your most recent videos, and kept thinking that I'd love to learn how to style my hair like yours... ta-da, here 'tis! Thank you, loved the long peaceful, orderly format 10/10 ❤
Thank you Gabi. I will try this technique and the High Tide and Heat protectant spry. You rock!
This is a great demo Gabi, so helpful and the end result looks so beautiful. Thank you!
I'm really happy that it was helpful for you Cheryl!
Thank you Gabi for this curling hair tutorial. I have saved this video for the next time I style my hair.
I really learn so much from your content. Thanks got going slow and taking the time to explain things in detail!
I finally got the curl, unravel, pull technique!! Yay 😃 thank you thank you thank you! Your videos are soooo helpful I’ve learned a lot from you !
YAY!! I am so happy to hear that you found it helpful!
Thank you for demystifying the beauty tools, GGG! ❤
I got you ;)
Good morning 🌞 we got ready together this morning and I actually was able to do it and I love it❣️ Thanks again it was so easy to follow
YAAAAY Tracie! That is so awesome to hear! That's exactly what I was hoping that people would do!
Hi Gaby! Love this technique. I can't wait to try it. I love the texture look as I always prefer full, voluminous hair. You are absolutely stunning. I learn so much from you. Thank you!!!
Thanks Helen!! I hope you try it out and love the results on yourself too! This can be done on all hair lengths.
Texture spray side looks great love the volume
Thanks Gabi. Love the video ,so informative. I DO like seeing 'longer version' then short ones for reason you said to see entire head being styled. which one I like best----- BOTH. they both look great!
Love the step by step. Those that want a faster tutorial can always fast forward. I really love my Living Proof volume spray for my fine no body hair type. Thank you for all you provide all of us. Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
I will forever be grateful to you Gabi for teaching me how to curl my hair with a curling iron! I use the Moroccanoil Prevent and Protect Spray, it is the one product that I cannot go without and ALWAYS reach for it. I love how you styled your heat and prefer the side with the texture spray.
Love this tutorial, I will be playing ur video while I do my hair ❤ thank you so much 😊
I love the way your waves turned out. This was a great hair tutorial! I'm looking forward to learning this technique. God Bless. ♥
Thank you so much 🤗 I'm so glad that you found this helpful!
Love, love, love your videos! Very informative and at a slower pace for us gals to get it 🌟
I am so happy to hear that it's helpful! These slower paced hair videos were necessary I think.
Love this kind of tutorial ❤thx
Love the texture spray side
Tried this on my long hair yesterday and got tons of compliments. I just flipped my hair a few times instead of combing. Thanks so much for all you do! 😍
You're so welcome! Thanks for sharing.
So pretty. Definitely the text sprayed side.
Thank you for this video, Gabi! So well explained! I like the short videos for Instagram and more detailed/tutorial ones for here 💜
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for taking your time to teach me. ❤
You are so welcome!
I have to add to my comment of this tutorial❣️ I absolutely love how my hair turns out when I use this method. My hair is cut like yours in fact you were the reason I braved cutting my hair Lol. I love this cut and I’m happier with my hair than I’ve ever been♥️ so again thank you. ♥️🫶🏻🤗
I have been trying to figure out how to do this for the last two weeks (unsuccessfully) so hopefully watching your video while practicing will help! Perfect timing 😅
I hope it works for you! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Great video Gabi! You are an excellent teacher. Your hair always looks great no matter how you style it but I do like this wave the best. Living proof sounds like the best spray for me since I don’t use hair spray at all. You are a joy to watch so keep the videos coming! Happy New year❤️
Thank you so much and Happy New Year!
You make THE best hair tutorials. As far as the Lador, it seems to have a lot of plant ingredients- a few I’m allergic too. Have a Happy New Year 🎉❤
Thank you Jade! I am really happy to hear that this video was helpful. Yes there are definitely plant-based ingredients. Maybe that is what other people are allergic to also...hmm...
I love these videos. I’ll be using it definitely.
GREAT, GREAT video. And, yes, you are on my bathroom counter when I try to style my hair😉. Happy New Year🍾🎉
Happy new year!! YAY! I am so happy that we get to hang out together and style our hair ;)
Hi lovely! Just found your channel. Been looking for this type of wavy bob tutorial for short hair for a long time! Going to try this technique tonight!
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching! Good luck with the hairstyling!
this was so educational! thank you ❤
Thank you for this as i have struggling with the curling tong
those curls are beautiful. 🌹 great job
Thank You!
Great detail! Thank you!!!
Hello Gabi, you always look fantastic 😊 I like the texture spray wave but you look great both ways.
Thanks Mary! I'm glad that you liked the video!
I needed this tutorial so bd. I have exactly the same length of hair but with bangs.
like the volume look . very grateful for your videos :)
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
I will keep this simple love the videos😁😁
both are beautiful!!
Gabi the curls waves look great 👍, but I love the straight look too on you ,😎💖 happy new yr Bella to you and your family ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you and Happy New Years!
Oh my gosh, this is amazing! I tried this when the video first came out and just couldn’t achieve good results. Well, after taking a few more inches off my length, I DID IT, and it’s gorgeous! Thank you so much Gabi. Forever grateful, for this tutorial. ❤❤❤
Great job! I'm glad you didn't give up and it worked for you!
Can’t wait to try. I need to get products. I never use them. I love the texture spray.
Products are very very important. It will really determine whether your hair does what you want it to do, stays healthy and makes your hair last for multiple days. And yes, texture spray is the best!
so helpful! thank you 😊
I use the Pantene heat protector, and it’s actually my favourite 😊 I’ve tried several on my fine but dense hair and many weigh my styles down. The Pantene heat protector is light and I find it has a bit of hold too (but not much).
I love the long form
So size does matter 😊 thank you for the very useful info❤❤❤❤
Size always matters 😂 💕
You are the best! 🎉❤
You are the best! 😘
Enjoyed this very much!
Awesome, thank you!
Looks beautiful as always🤩 Have you ever used the new rotating curling iron ? I’d love to see how you do your hair with that. I just purchased one
Okayyy I have to rave about that texture spray. I have thin fine hair, it’s been 6 hours my hair looks fabulous❣️
Okay, did it, there was a learning curve, but once it kicked in, it was budda!!! It looks like a blonde, thirty years older version of your hair, thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. 😃♥️👏🏻
Omg yay!!!! I’m so happy it worked for you!!! 💕
I use Hot Tools deep waver, love it, less bulky to use.
Oh my gosh thank you so much❣️♥️🤗 this will help me so much🫶🏻
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!
You’re best!! ❤
like them both!
My favorite texture spray I’ve ever used is IGK No Limit.
Your videos are quite helpful. I have the same curling iron you were using- (babyliss pro 1 inch) and really like it. Ive used that texture spay but in Surfer girl which is REALLY strong. I need to try the 1 you recommend. 😊
Yea High Tide is a much softer! You will probably really like it if you found Surfer Girl to be too much.
Hi Gabby love all you video, great tutorial! Can you please do video for little girls curly hair and safe products for their hair, thank you 🤩
I prefer long tutorials. Thank you so much!❤
I'm really happy to hear that! I was so unsure about these tutorials but people seem to enjoy them. I was so worried that they would be super boring since short form content is so popular now. But you can't learn anything without actually watching someone do it over and over again.
@@GlamGirlGabi Absolutely! 😍
Wow you make it look so easy, it makes me want to try it!! Thoughts for content? How about what you suggest for wearing or doing with, just beneath shoulder length hair, at night, when sleeping, to maintain a style like that, from the previous day.. Any suggestions on lip scrubs, or help to maintain smooth lips, to help with lipstick application. Thanks Gabi
I’ve tried this technique before and did not do so good at it. I’ve since cut some length off and got a longer curling iron. I’ll give it a try again!
Thanks for watching and good luck! Sometimes it takes a little practice to master this method.
Another super helpful video. Thank you Gabi! Question, if you use heat protection when you blow out and then want to use the curl iron does one need to reapply the heat protection?
Moroccan Oil for life! I do want to try the Lador though for sure, I'm sure if you like it I will like it.
Texture all day, everyday ❤
Great video. Thanks
You are welcome! I am so happy to hear that you found it helpful!
Thank You Gabi can you make a video using a hair wrap i just got it and im still learning if can or have one would be great 😊 and helpful ❤❤❤love your videos i learn so much from them 😊
Yes of course. Are you able to tell me what you got so that I can see it?
@@GlamGirlGabi the shark hair wrap there’s a tool for the right and left for curls.
I got the same thing with my lador heat protectant but it’s never been an issue for me. I’m on my 2nd bottle. Easy, light and effective. I have fine hair and it doesn’t change anything. I almost feel like my curls hold better. Could be in my head.
I tried this technique and I absolutely love it. Thank you for the video. I have a question about your hair color. Do you have a balayage and could you share with me color on toner used in your hair ?
You and your hair look fabulous 😊 I really enjoyed the tutorial… how do you get your hair so shiny? Looks so good 😎
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I recently did an entire video about my hair routine, you can see it here: kzhead.info/sun/ppeGh6mgq4ajZps/bejne.html
Thank you ❤
Oh yes, clamp down, not up. This was a great tutorial Gabi.
Glad you liked it Donna! I hope you were able to learn something new today :)
I use Toni & Guy heat protectant spray. One thing u can do with it is on very long dry hair spray the mids and ends until damp with it, comb it through, then spiral the lengths around your fingers again and again until they form long tight sprials and leave to air dry not touching them, it doesn't take long, then it forms a nice curl on the very ends and keeps them together. I used to do this when my hair was very long (almost to my waist) and down the ends were thin and scraggly, when I didn't do anything to it (I'm a guy) it looked fluffy and dry even though it wasn't (it was just the hair at that length was very thinned out) because it was so thin at that length and the hairs would separate all the time and flay out in different directions, but when I did this thing with the heat protectant spray it created little ringlets on the very ends where it was thin, kept them together and behaving and the curl stayed in for days and it looked pretty nice.
Great demo and guidance on curling. I never knew to wait till hair is cool or about the wide-tooth comb, spraying the underside, etc. I like both sides, but I tend to be partial to volume. Thanks! Question: Is texture spray different from standard hairspray?
Glad it was helpful! Texturizing spray creates more volume and messy texture without freezing your hair into place.
Gabi, I LOVE your Channel. I can tell from your videos that you are such a sweet kind person and a great teacher. Thank you for going slow. I found your channel because of your videos for thin fine hair. I have seriously thin fine hair. I wish I could replicate your beach wave. I am working on it but am a slow learner! Besides heat protectant what do you use to prep your hair after washing for this look? Somehow when I try this style the waves are too separated at the roots ( I can’t find the words) and it looks terrible. I also can’t get the waves to last more than a very short time. Do you style this way right after washing or can you do this the next day? I just bought the TYMO airflow curler and am trying my luck with that. I have tried beach waves with a flat iron, waver ( it was a dangerous tool for me…too hot!) , curling iron and all have been failures! If you have any other suggestion I would love to hear them. Thank you Gabi!
Gabi thank you so much! My hair is finally ready to handle heat again and this tutorial couldn't have been more timely. Moroccan Oil products are really nice but the animal testing puts me off. I'm on a budget; recently I discovered Pacifica's vegan silk line. Pretty reasonable and they make my hair feel so healthy (bleached down to platinum and colored blush/rose) as long as I stay on top of it. Also I have super hard Florida water and these products have greatly helped maintain and defend my hair.
Thanks for sharing! I'll have to check Pacifica's line out.
Loved it! This was such a detailed tutorial! I have thicker hair. Do I need to do anything differently to achieve that same look when curling (additional sectioning, etc.)? I have been using the Redken 22 Thermal Spray as a heat protectant. I feel that it does a good job protecting the hair but can be a little on the wet/heavy side. I really try not to spray too close to my head and lightly spray but I think it's just how the bottle sprays. I may give one of your recommendations a try.
Thanks for watching! Depending on the length and thickness of your hair you might need more sectioning or a slightly bigger barrel.
Beautiful technique, thank you….could you help us with static electricity in the winter months? ⭐🎄
Gabi what are your recommendations for the wavy hair to stay for a few hours mine doesn’t last long at all :( need help or productive to use for texture and volume without taking the wavy curls our . Thanks really appreciate you 😊
Thanks so much my hair is a little longer than yours and thin. I just don’t get the volume like have. I love heat protection with Kendra blow dry mist. I just got Keratin for Christmas love it.
You are so welcome! Did you get the Keratin volume products? The volume comes from the products + the blowdry. Did you watch the blowdry tutorial? That is the most important thing to master. After you master that, everything else will look amazing.
@@GlamGirlGabi Yes, I did get both like you recommended. After a blowout and Velcro rollers I can get the volume.
You rock both the wand wave and clamp iron wave! I don’t think my hair color looks its best when I wave it. The grays looks better straight. More sleek. Also the fullness of a wave is too full around my chubby face and I think less volume around my chin slims my jaw line. Maybe that is a tutorial. What modern styles help slim the face and jawline and bring attention to cheek bones and eyes without going pixie short?
Thanks for your comment and this is a great suggestion!
One texture spray that you can restyle with is Eufora Full Effect Dry Texture Spray.
Regarding the heat protectant spray if you’re putting the one you use on dry hair doesn’t that cause the hair to be burned when you put a hot tool on top of it because it’s wet is it better to use a dry spray has a hair protectant?
Omg I’ve been sitting here thinking you were high while filming this or something and then I realized I had the playback speed set to slow. 🤣 … thanks for the tips!
HAHA! That made me laugh out loud. I'm glad you figured it out!
. My hair isn't a bob but I think it will be fun to try this. I am recovering from a few years of shorter hair cuts that made me feel like an old lady. My hair is now past my shoulder and I am loving it. I am also enjoying learning how to style it. Styling has always been a challenge for me. I am learning SO MUCH by watching your videos so thank you for being so thorough and articulate.
You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! I have tried this method before and it did not hold at all :( I am very curious to try the curling wand method!
You're welcome. You'll have to let me know if it works for you!
I bought the Bayliss BaByliss PRO Ceramic Pointy Barrel Curling Iron - 1-1/4" - BABC125TBC And I don't know how to use a short clamp, any suggestions. Thank-you for all your videos.
Can this S wave be done by rocking the flat iron back and forth? I wanted this wave this morning and forgot this tutorial so I did the rocking but got a lot of fizziness. How would you do it?
You make it look so easy. I will give it a try. Will probably have to watch video again as I try waving my hair until I figure it out. Thank you!
You can do it! Start with your curling iron unplugged and cold. Practise it several times with it off first and then you can heat it up. As soon as your brain figures out what your hands need to do, it becomes second nature. It's only hard the first time.
I just got this haircut. How do you sleep on it? Might be a funny question but with my longer layered cut weather it was straight or curly if I put it in a high pony on my head to sleep I still had curl and or volume. Thanks!
You might want to try a sleep bonnet
Do you like this haircut better for fine hair or the 90s layered medium cut you had before hand? I can’t decide whether to go back to the bob. I don’t have a lot of hair on the sides/temples of my head so having longer hair let’s me push my hair forward from the back to appear fuller but then again it’s stringier
That’s a good question. If you don’t have a lot of hair on the sides, I would make sure to not over-layer the hair so you keep as much density in the baseline as possible. As for the cut itself, it depends on what you prefer but I am really loving my bob at the moment. I’m even getting it recut on the weekend.
Thanks for this tutorial. When I use a clip curling iron, I get a 'mark' from the clip. What do I need to do to avoid that? Many thanks.
Sometimes it takes a bit of practice to get it perfect. Thanks for watching!
