Love this!!! Ouidad and AG Care are two of my favorite brands. One product I don’t see you talk about is AG Care Fast Food leave in conditioner. It actually pairs great with both the Ouidad gel and AG Care liquid effects. I don’t always love a curl cream so the leave in is a nice option.
I find it so helpful when you list the ingredients like this ! I spend so much time at the store reading through the ingredients that I’m there longer than I want to be ! Thank you for your research. Lovely new haircut !
I’m also really enjoying OSiS+ extreme hold mousse and Wella strong hold mousse. They are great in humidity. I too them with Ouidad strong hold climate control. Another great option is Alterna volumizing mousse. That gives me my best hair 😊
Thanks Gena for another great and detailed video. FYI- NYM launched fragrance free versions of their curl cream and curl gel. So excited as I prefer fragrance free products and love the NYM curl mousse.
This is some amazing amount of thought and detail you put in your video! thank you so much!! i came looking for some protein gels but i learnt so much more! Keep it up! its really helping a lot of people
Thank you @Genamarie! This was fantastic!! What do you recommend for sweaty scalp? My scalp sweats and my carefully styled roots go totally flat. Help! 😰😖
I use the curl talk curl cream every wash day, and I never notice a buildup with it. I do use a clarifying shampoo once every two weeks, sometimes once a week, so that might be why. For reference, if anyone cares, I have low porosity, 2b/2c
For my salt and pepper course low porosity wavy hair the only thing that woks in summer is biosilk rock hard gelee! It’s crazy but that is the only on that works. I also use kinky curly not today leave in only a pea size amount. I used the Quidad strong hold gel and my hair poofed after one day so I put the biosilk gelee on top with a little water because it is thick but it did the trick not much frizz
I would love it if you would do a review of fragrance free hair styling products from brands like Fragfre, Seen, CLEURE, and No Nothing, particularly styling products that are good for humidity but are fragrance free. I find Spiralicious to be drying also.
I believe the Twist line has been discontinued. I loved the weather up gel. Some of the less popular products are still available on Amazon, but the gel is long gone 😢.
Hello, I really like your videos and I learn a lot fron them.😊 Maybe you have tried bouclème products (other than the hairspray mentioned in the video). It would be very interesting to know.😊
I have a problem. I have color treated hair. I color about every 3 months. My hair I think is medium prosody and I think medium thick hair about 2 inches below my shoulders. I live in Ohio where it right now is hot and humid. My problem is after I wash my hair with verb mild, cleanse, moisture or silkience hair care pro formula hydrating shampoo, or it’s a 10 or whatever shampoo I seem to choose, it is so tangled and I can’t even get whatever conditioner I try through my hair. I have used several different shampoos and conditioners. Some conditioners I have used, verbinrich, detangle, and soften. Living proof intense moisture mask, herbal essences bio renew moisture rosemary and herbs foam conditioner, keranique volumizing keratin conditioner, tresemme silk and smooth argon oleo blend conditioner are some to name a few. Why do you think my hair is like that after I shampoo? It is so hard to get through. And what kind of gel or mousse would you suggest for me knowing what I told you about my hair. My hair is also very frizzy. Thank you for all your videos. They are very helpful. It is just so hard to figure out what products are best. I have always washed, conditioned, and fixed my hair as it was straight. But after watching some of your videos and paying more attention to my hair, it is naturally wavy. So now I am trying to figure out what products to use on it. I think I need a strong hold gel maybe.
I blow out my curls and sometimes flat iron, which products would maintain the flat iron affect without frizzing currently nothing works for me on that in humidity?
Unfortunately blowouts in humidity are inevitability going to frizz up. Wearing your natural curls especially in humidity will give longer lasting results 😊
The TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Amplifier is a fantastic cream gel with multiple polyquat ingredients. To me, it perfoms similarly to the Ouidad weather up gel (although it has a beefier hold & slightly more moisture). It's also reasonably priced in the UK, where it's often on sale for £6.99. I can use it as a one & done, with just two pumps of product & I have pretty thick 2C hair.
Loved your recommendations of Curlsmith Miracle Shield, AG Re:Coil Curl Activating Cream and Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat and Humidity Stronger Hold Gel! I have never had these incredible results in the year I’ve been on my Curly Girl journey. Thank You!!❤
I live in the UK and trying to get hold of AG products is definitely not easy!! I wish AG offered international shipping ☹️ In the vid, you mentioned detoxing shampoos twice - is there a one that doesn't dry out curly hair? Great vid with tons of amazing information ❤❤
Are the silicones in the Ouidad leave-in conditioner water soluble? Thanks for the video. I live in a high humidity area and when I visit my in-laws, who live near the beach, no matter what I do, it looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket 😂
Great video. Love all the details. Providing pairs is so helpful. I agree with spending more on a gel. I also find that salon quality products require less per use than drugstore products so it’s hard to compare prices as you use up drugstore products more quickly. I also love AG Recoil and Liquid Effects. Looking forward to your IG reel. When you visited AG, did they say if they were coming out with a refill package for Liquid Effects? I hope they follow what they did with Recoil. Have a great week.
Loved the pink shirt on you 😍 And your hair as alway so gorgeous Gena. Now the amount of work your put in here it’s very well appreciated. Your are saving our summer 😊
I think I may have said this in another one of your videos, but you and the detailed information you provide...amazing!!! Thank you! My hair is starting to look better thanks to you! 🧡🧡🧡
Curl talk brought out gel and cream fragrance Free and protein free no alcohol it amazing I used ouida unbelievable Bonds shampoo and it's amazing wavy and curly looks good
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!! Your knowledge and the way you communicate that knowledge is amazing! I have learned a ton from your videos. THANK YOU!!!
Have you tried any Curlisto products? I loved their discountinued Structura Lotion (which was a thin gel) but now I just use their curl cream but haven't found that "perfect" gel for my very long, fine, porous, wavy hair. I may try your suggestion of the AG Cream (gel).
Hi Gena! I never knew how to deal with my curls. I Had Brazilian keratin treatment for so many years. Just found you. Loving your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your hair looks amazing!
I have fine 2c/3a coloured hair but a ton of hair. Can I mix the Not Your Mother curl cream with the Ouidad Gel? Or should I use only one. Incredibly humid out!
@genamarie can you give any ideas on fragrance free and hypoallergenic products that would help with humidity and frizz? I tried the curlsmith fragrance free line and it made it worse 😢
Thnaks Gena. I tried the Tresemé gel 2 times but did not liked it…its a little bit drying for my hair I will use one time more with an other curlcream underneath see the results but not a fan. Have to try the Ouidad , like the twisted gel but still not enough hold…
The print preview looks fine on my end when I test it. It may be your printer settings. I recommend using it digitally though and saving a copy on your phone for shopping in-store
Thank you for this incredibly helpful educational video. I downloaded the free anti-humidity check list. I have a LOT of curly products and didn't have a clue how to mix and match them! I know sometimes I just have to experiment a little but having some building blocks of a mix-and-match routine, helps SO much! Thanks again for such thoughtful and well-researched content!
Did you catch my video last week about how to humidity proof your curls? I explain more about how helpful they can be in humidity. Most can be removed with regular suflate free shampoos so they wont buildup. Just avoid solely co-washing
Best curly creator!!!
Love this video! Also this pink colour on you looks incredible! 😍💕💕💕
This is incredible! The level of detail you provide, including product pairings, is so helpful. The absolute best I've seen! Thank you.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear the extra time/effort is worth it
Agreed!💯
Live in Puerto Rico, high humidity and hot weather. I'm 2c-3a, high porosity, low density, fine hair. What's your exact recomendarion Genna

She said some of the products she used at 3:55 in video
Love the new haircut ❤

@@katyakazakova6712good to know , thanks
Gena, THANK YOU for introducing me to AG products. I have been trying for one year and thought about shaving my head!
Hi Gena! Would the ag re coil cream + ouidad gel have too much protein for medium porosity hair?? Great video thanks!! 🩵
Thanks Gena for another great and detailed video. FYI- NYM launched fragrance free versions of their curl cream and curl gel. So excited as I prefer fragrance free products and love the NYM curl mousse.
Thank you for all the time you put into these videos.
Subscribed!!! 🎉
I honestly love ouidad heat and humidity gel (the red one) I only use that as my main gel
Me Too
This is some amazing amount of thought and detail you put in your video! thank you so much!! i came looking for some protein gels but i learnt so much more! Keep it up! its really helping a lot of people
Thank you @Genamarie! This was fantastic!! What do you recommend for sweaty scalp? My scalp sweats and my carefully styled roots go totally flat. Help! 😰😖
Well done 🩷
Thanks for all your hard work!
I finally found the Not Your Mother’s Hard Hold Gel at Ulta! I’m excited to try it out. For some reason, it’s tough to find ☺️
I use the curl talk curl cream every wash day, and I never notice a buildup with it. I do use a clarifying shampoo once every two weeks, sometimes once a week, so that might be why. For reference, if anyone cares, I have low porosity, 2b/2c

I believe the Twist line has been discontinued. I loved the weather up gel. Some of the less popular products are still available on Amazon, but the gel is long gone 😢.
OMG, I hope not. I just found them!
Nooooo it’s not discontinued 🌟 it’s on Amazon the entire Twist line
I don’t believe it’s discontinued, but it’s not carried in Walmart stores anymore. I believe it has become an Amazon exclusive brand.
Thank you for another great video! If you use a mousse under a gel, will you lose the volum benefits that mousse can provide?
Hello, I really like your videos and I learn a lot fron them.😊 Maybe you have tried bouclème products (other than the hairspray mentioned in the video). It would be very interesting to know.😊
What hairspray would you recommend to use when your hair is wet before diffusing ?
The bouclème one I mentioned. Any water based spray like that
Do you need to use a leave in with the re coil cream or is it moisturizing enough to use on its own?
The anti-humidity check list is so blurry I can not read it. What can I do?
You have to download it here: genamarie.co/product/anti-humidity-ingredients-checklist/
After you check out, a copy of it will be sent to your email
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Love your videos! I have been binge watching since I found your channel, about a week ago.

The two AG curl creams really are some of the best of all time, but something in the AG formulas makes my scalp itch and it’s really tragic 😩
Same thing happened to me!

Unfortunately blowouts in humidity are inevitability going to frizz up. Wearing your natural curls especially in humidity will give longer lasting results 😊
Hiii hello, have you tried the Curly Love brand????
No, I havent!
girl the amount of effort and detail u put in ur videos is crazy, ur one of the best curly hair creators out there
I’ve been loving the AG Recoil curl cream in the humidity, I get great hold and it refreshes with water so easily.
Perfect timing, I'm about to get to my wash day on a 80% humidity day!
The TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Amplifier is a fantastic cream gel with multiple polyquat ingredients. To me, it perfoms similarly to the Ouidad weather up gel (although it has a beefier hold & slightly more moisture).

Hold Gel! I have never had these incredible results in the year I’ve been on my Curly Girl journey. Thank
You!!❤
Thank you for going down to ingredients level. This helps me search for good products in foreign countries
One of my holy grails is Aunt Jackie's curl la la. Goes beautifully with their gel.
Agreed! I used it on its own in San Antonio, TX and was shocked, I have waist length spirals and did amazing 🤩
I live in the UK and trying to get hold of AG products is definitely not easy!! I wish AG offered international shipping ☹️

One of them is, but the other is not. I wouldnt be concerned about it though unless if you're someone who only co-washes 😊
@@GenaMarie Thank you!
My hair seems to HATE coconut oil. Why would that be?

This came in perfect timing! I’ve been struggling with frizz lately and we’re in a heat wave this week!
I get good hold from the back cream but my hair is short. I do have thick hair.
Im also confuse about glicerin on styling in high himidity weather. Tell me about it Gena😊
It’s not something to be worried about as long as the gel or mousse contains polyquaternium ingredients
Great video, Gena! Thorough info and offer a list also. Thanks!
What lipstick are u wearing I need that!🩵🩵🩵
Great tutorial I have both CS hair spray love them both.
Excellent information. Thank you
Thx❤ will be buying these ASAP

Hask was horrible for me 😢I was loosing my hair in chunks !! Luckily I was able to bounce back from it as soon as I stopped using Hask products.
It is true that the “Boucleme” products are good but quite expensive in my opinion. Thank you for sharing🥰🥰🥰
I have fine 2c/3a coloured hair but a ton of hair. Can I mix the Not Your Mother curl cream with the Ouidad Gel? Or should I use only one. Incredibly humid out!
@genamarie can you give any ideas on fragrance free and hypoallergenic products that would help with humidity and frizz? I tried the curlsmith fragrance free line and it made it worse 😢
@genamarie You put the affiliate links over the closed captioning so those of us that need the CC can't "hear" you. 🥺
I used the NYM curl defining cream and it gave me wicked dandruff! I washed my hair again and just put mousse and a little gel.
Thnaks Gena. I tried the Tresemé gel 2 times but did not liked it…its a little bit drying for my hair I will use one time more with an other curlcream underneath see the results but not a fan. Have to try the Ouidad , like the twisted gel but still not enough hold…
What more natural, non endocrine disrupter products do you recommend??
Hi, the TWIST weather-up gel is being discontinued!
Thank you for the great info and cheat sheet
Love your videos!❤
please do a video on doing your hair the next day without washing
I have several here: ruclips.net/p/PLcFghU1dAGrrQsdzzNbLkdoc7_jsgOvuN&si=wY-IWwFH0coOc0KI
