    Ep. 29 - What I Wish Every Woman Knew Before Looking in the Mirror

    In the final episode of this season of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, Courtney and Alyson are talking about something much deeper than hair: The way women see themselves. We spend so much time picking ourselves apart — our hair, our skin, our bodies, the way we're aging, the things that have changed — that sometimes we forget how distorted our own inner voice can become. This episode is a conversation about confidence, comparison, beauty standards, self-perception, and learning to look at yourself with a little more grace. And yes, of course, hair is a big part of that conversation. Because when your curls or waves change, when your routine stops working, or when you don't recognize the woman looking back at you quite the same way…it can hit deeper than we expect. We hope this episode feels like sitting down with two friends who are reminding you that you are allowed to care about how you look without letting the mirror decide how you feel about yourself. And if this one hit just right, share it with a friend you care about, or one who cares about you.

    Ep. 28 - It's Not "Just Hair" — Why Hair Confidence Matters

    It's not "just hair." At every age, at every stage, your hair can be tied to identity, confidence, femininity, self-expression, and the way we feel when we look in the mirror. And when your hair changes, stops cooperating, or just doesn't feel like you anymore… it can affect you way more than people realize. In Season 3, Episode 9 of Two Wavy Girls on the Internet, we're talking about why hair confidence matters and the specific ways you can help your hair to make you feel more like you. Caring about your hair does not make you vain. We're getting into the emotional side of curly and wavy hair, the pressure we put on ourselves, the frustration that can come with naturally occurring texture changes, and that feeling of finally finding a routine or style that makes you feel like yourself again. Because sometimes it really isn't "just hair."   Also: Courtney & Alyson are curl professionals who are here to take care of you!

    Ep. 26 - The Real Cost of Cheap Hair

    Cheap hair care sounds like a great way to save money—until you realize how much you're actually spending trying to make it work. Today, we're talking about the real cost of cheap hair care, and why constantly chasing lower-priced products and tools can sometimes end up costing you more in the long run. From frequent reformulations and discontinued favorites, to buying product after product trying to force-fit a fix, we're breaking down the hidden costs that don't always show up on the price tag. We're also talking about when drugstore products absolutely can work, when it may be worth spending a little more, and how finding a routine that consistently works for your hair and goals can save you money, frustration, and a whole lot of trial and error. If your bathroom cabinet is full of half-used bottles that didn't quite work, this episode is for you.

    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.

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!

    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.
