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.

Hey, I'm Courtney! When my hair had the odd bend and kink in it, little did I know my unhealthy hair was truly wavy and curly! Through my healthy hair journey, I have come to embrace the hair I have been "fearfully and wonderfully made with".

If your waves look ah-mazing for 10 minutes and then slowly collapse into limp, stretched-out noodles… this episode is for you. In episode 18 (episode 8 of season 2), we're breaking down the actual reasons wavy hair won't hold shape — and spoiler: It's NOT because your hair isn't "curly enough."

We dive into the science of wave formation, the biggest routine mistakes people don't even know they're making, and the surprising factors (weather, buildup, wrong products, technique gaps, and even haircut structure) that sabotage definition before your hair even dries. If you've ever felt defeated by flat waves, crunchy roots, stringy ends, or curls that only last until lunchtime, buckle up. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what to adjust — and why your hair absolutely can hold shape with the right approach.
