    Ep. 25 - The Biggest Mistakes I See Every Single Week, feat. Felicia Dickerson

    What are the curly hair mistakes stylists see over and over again? In this episode of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, we're joined by Fayetteville, NC curly hair stylist Felicia Dickerson, also known on Instagram as @hif3licia and TikTok as @itshif3licia, for a conversation about the biggest mistakes we see behind the chair every single week—among other tips, tricks and techniques on this powerhouse of an episode. Between the three of us, we work with a LOT of wavy and curly hair, and there are a few habits, techniques, product choices, and expectations that come up again and again. We're talking: what clients are getting wrong, where stylists can improve their own curly hair understanding, what techniques and products make the biggest difference, and the things we wish more people understood about taking care of their natural texture. From styling mistakes and product overload to unrealistic expectations and routines that are making curly hair harder than it needs to be, this episode is packed with practical advice from three stylists who work with real curls every day. If you've ever wondered, "What would a curly hair stylist change about my routine?" — this episode is for you.

    Ep. 24 - Everything I'd Buy Again for My Curly Hair If I Had to Start Over Tomorrow

    If every curly hair product, tool, and styling essential we owned disappeared tomorrow… what would we actually go out and buy again? In Episode 5 of Season 3 of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, we're rebuilding our curly hair routines from scratch and sharing the products and tools that have truly earned a permanent place in our lives. We're talking shampoos, conditioners, styling products, brushes, diffusers, microfiber towels, clips, and all the little things we'd immediately replace with our own money. These aren't just products we like. These are the things we've used, tested, trusted, and loved enough that we'd repurchase them without hesitation. If you're building a curly or wavy hair routine, simplifying an overflowing product stash, or just trying to figure out what's actually worth buying, this episode is basically our ultimate curly hair shopping list.

    Ep. 23 - Why Some Haircuts Make Wavy Hair Look Terrible

    Have you ever walked out of a haircut appointment wondering why your waves suddenly look flatter, stringier, or just… wrong? In Episode 4 of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, Courtney and Alyson are talking all about HAIRCUTS and why the cut that looks amazing on someone else might not work at all for your wavy hair. We're breaking down layers, length, density, shrinkage, face framing, the tools stylists sometimes use, and how the shape of your haircut can completely change the way your waves and curls behave. We'll also talk about why copying a Pinterest photo doesn't always give you the result you're expecting and what to actually consider when choosing a haircut for YOUR hair. Because sometimes your styling routine isn't the problem. Your products aren't the problem. Your hair isn't the problem. It might just be the haircut. Also. We're here to take care of you!

    Ep. 22 - My Hair Changed After 40…What Do I Do Now??

    Your hair used to behave one way… and then somewhere around 40, it decided to change the rules. 😅 In Episode 3 of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, we're joined by our friend Atoya Bass, owner and stylist at The Curly Hair Studio in Portland, Oregon (https://www.thecurlyhairstudio.com/) to talk about what happens when the hair you've known for years suddenly starts changing. We're talking texture changes, thinning, grays, hormones, dryness, curl pattern changes, products that suddenly stop working, and the very real frustration of feeling like you have to learn your hair all over again. If you've looked in the mirror lately and thought, "What is happening to my hair?!" this episode is for you. The good news? Your hair may be changing, but that doesn't mean you can't have great hair. It might just be time to change the way you're caring for it. Also. We're here to take care of you!

    Ep. 21 - The Biggest Mistake You're Making When Buying Curly Hair Products

    Are you buying curly hair products based on what's trending, your curl type, someone else's holy grail… or what your hair *actually* needs? In Episode 2 of Season 3 of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, we're talking about the BIGGEST mistakes people make when shopping for curly and wavy hair products — and why this can leave you with a cabinet full of products that just don't work for you. We're breaking down how we actually think about choosing products, what matters (and what probably matters way less than you think), and how to make smarter choices without constantly chasing the next "perfect" curly hair product. If you've ever thought, "Why does this work AMAZING for everyone else but not for me?" — this episode is for you. Also. We're here to take care of you!

    Ep. 20 - Why You Hair Routine Isn't Working (And It's Probably Not Your Hair)

    Season 3 of **Two Wavy Girls on the Internet** is officially here! 🎉 And we're kicking things off with a question we hear ALL the time: **Why isn't my hair routine working?!** If you've been buying new products, trying different techniques, following tutorials, and still wondering why your waves or curls just aren't cooperating…the problem might not actually be your hair. So what could it be, and how to fix it? In this episode, we're talking about why a routine that works beautifully for one person can completely flop for someone else, how the internet accidentally overcomplicates wavy and curly hair care, and what actually matters when you're trying to build a routine that works for *your* hair. We're also catching up, talking about how our own hair and routines have changed, and probably exploring a few tangents along the way.  If you've ever thought, **"Maybe my hair just can't look like that,"** this episode is for you.

    Ep. 19 - Official Apology Notice (We Need to Address Something…)

    This is an official apology. We're sorry for helping thousands of women embrace their waves and curls. We're sorry for teaching you how to choose the right products, the right haircut, and the right application techniques for your hair. We're sorry for creating content that made you feel confident, capable, and less confused in a space that often thrives on rules, confusion and exclusion.    Just kidding. But seriously, in the season finale of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, we're using satire to address a very real issue: how education became elitism, how guidance became gatekeeping, and how women with looser curl patterns were made to feel like they didn't belong. This episode is our unapologetic apology — and a reminder that your hair is allowed to exist exactly as it is.   We're also following up on our Two Wavy Girls' 30-Day Grateful Curls Challenge If you'd like to jump on the bandwagon, it's not too late!
