Which tip are you going to try first?!
Summary of all the tips are listed on my blog for your reference: genamarie.co/2022/05/how-to-improve-curl-retention-restore-bouncy-curls/
I just used hiit reset, Curlsmith Bond rehab, shampoo again, briogeo mask, hask 5 in 1 leave in, ouidad advanced climate control gel and sotc with curlsmith bonding oil... let's see how it holds 😊
I have tried every tip that you've ever given on this subject. The problem that I'm having is in an approximately 2 inch section of hair, on both sides, that frame my face. So, those areas right in front. I'm assuming they are straighter because of putting it behind my ears, maybe oils on my face and oils behind ears. I don't put those pieces behind my ears anymore, but, they still get pushed back everytime I wear my sleep bonnet. Those 2 small sections on both sides are a very loose wave and the entire rest of my hair is tight banana curls and , 3c corkscrew curls. So, those straighter pieces look weird. I don't know how to fix it because I need the bonnet every night.

Please do a video on Polyquats vs Silicones. My fine wavy/curly hair needs a lot of help in high humidity. Also, for those of us who lack basic hair know-how, please show us how to find our natural curl pattern. Do I start with the spiral I see at root or at end? Thanks for all your videos! Priceless information!
Thank you! Noted! I would say look at the first bend right at the root
Thank you thank you!!! I used to have really curly thick hair and slowly have noticed it become really soft, less curly, and poofy! I see that I’ve over moisturized and haven’t been putting proteins in my hair for a long time!
It's interesting to see the difference that diffusing makes for you with type 3 hair. Diffusing makes a huge difference for me and so does damp styling. Most curlies seem to advocate for styling soaking wet though, it seems like. I do like the chunky curl clumps look sometimes, but I get bouncier, tighter results and my hair dries faster if I go with smaller clumps.
This is so thorough and organized! I truly appreciate all the detailed information you provide 🙏🏻 Thank you! ❤️
Thank you I have reverse layered Bob and been losing my curls I'm so upset certain products helping them but still losing them this helped me alot
Thank you! If only I'd have seen this when I was transitioning! These were all great tips and put together in a way that I can understand.
I’m so happy to hear!
Yes to silicones v polyquats!
Great tips in this video. Curly hair is exhausting until you figure out what it needs.
I just tried using a 7 row denman brush for the first time last night on my freshly washed 3a fine low and medium porosity curls, and I got really weird, really bad results. The denman (along with diffusing) made my shorter layers shrink way too much, but not my longer layers. My curls were also very thin, not clumpy. The first 3-4 inches of my hair was smooth and straight with no volume. My curls look defined because of the cast, but I wouldn't dare go out in public hah! I plan to take out 3 of the rows and will give the denman brush 1 more chance, but all-in-all it's too much work lol. I find it way easier to just hand scrunch upside even if it means i get a little frizz and less definition. And hey, maybe i'll still use the denman (or get the behairful brush) to smooth my hair after putting in the weightless air dream cream so i can tame some of the frizz before scrunching in my Curlsmith gel.
Thanks!
Thank you.
Great video; thanks! =)
Such an excellent video! I think I need a chelating shampoo because I have hard water. I’m almost 52, and i just can’t give up getting my gray roots covered up with color and highlights, every 4-6 weeks. 😆
For longer hold between washes, do you recommend holding off scrunching the gel cast out in very humid conditions? Thanks again!!
I have TONS of the Briogeo masks. I have not tried them yet so I am now so excited I love nothing more than a super thick conditioner and I agree with everything you are saying I grew my hair out and it's super long my hair is so much less curly than it has been my entire life my new favorite conditioner is by hempz and it's the for damaged and color treated hair it's so thick and smells so yummy. I got it from TJ Maxx so I was very surprised because I am extremely picky I'm extremely picky when it comes to products I do not like to shampoo my hair but when I do once a week or so it's always a clarifying shampoo. Because I do use hair oil gel and spray everyday
I love ❤️ briogeo masks
Thanks for all that great information. That plop diffusing method sounds interesting, I may try that next time. I've been struggling with my hair since I let all the grey grow out, it just doesn't behave the same as it used to.
I will say that I was surprised to hear you say that cutting your hair could make it less curly, as I always thought I had better curls when my hair was short. Though I did notice some great curl patterns when I've had less frequent haircuts the last two years, it's just a lot more work to take care of it. If you have some tips for making long curly hair care easier, I'd leave to hear them.
Thanks again!
It mostly depends on where your curls naturally begin. If you have a looser curl pattern at the top or straight roots, cutting shorter will remove the ringlets. However if you have curls from the root, getting a haircut can definitely help spring the curls up more!
@@GenaMarie My curl pattern on the top seems looser when my hair is longer, but curls better when it’s shorter. Maybe it’s the way I style it when it’s longer.
Wow, so much great information! Have you tried the AG Curl Fresh Definer? I love it! I believe it also has magnesium sulfate. It works so well for me! 👍🏻
Yeah!! It’s great!
I love your videos! I've gained so much knowledge and useful info/tips from you and Swavycurlycourtney since I started my curly hair journey in December 2019. This doesn't have anything to do with hair but I was wondering what foundation you use. Your skin looks absolutely flawless.
Thanks so much! This one from Tarte 😊 it’s sheer but buildable bit.ly/3EhLb3X
Hello there nice to meet you how are you doing?🌺💐
What are your thoughts on using homemade flax seed gel? Is this even safe to use or cause buildup. Thank you
I’ve been wanting to try that Quidad gel since I live in the humid SOUTH!! Thanks for suggesting it again! Have you ever thought about doing one on one consulting?? I would love that!!
I love it!!
And yes, one day I definitely want to once I get the time. I still work full time so it’s tough haha
@@GenaMarie oh wow! I’d love to pick your brain! 😊 Thanks for all I’ve learned already. When people ask what I’m doing to my hair I ask them “how long do you have?” 😂
We have super hard water, so regular clarifying is probably a good idea for me!
Definitely incorporate a chelating shampoo at least monthly
Love your videos !!i have curly wavy haire and some frizz ,how do i get rid of frizz hair?
I love your videos! They’re so informative. I’ve been struggling with my curls the last two months. I have fine textured 3A curls, and I’ve had a set basic routine that has worked for me for two years. Recently though my curls aren’t holding up and they’re frizzier. My hair also feels very dry even when it’s fully wet in the shower. I don’t know what’s wrong. I tried the protein/moisture strand test but some pieces break immediately while others stretch normally. Olaplex hasn’t helped and neither have deep conditioning treatments - these have both made my hair feel better but it hasn’t changed how they hold up when they’re dry. Any insight would be so helpful!
Polyquats vs silicones: ooooh, yes please!! 👌🏾
HEY, I'm new to this channel and I NEED YOUR HELP ASAP. So, when my hair was longer, almost going down my back, it was curly. Whenever I straightened them for events and then washed them, they went back to their original curl pattern, which was coiled and really pretty. So, I kinda bleached four strands of my hair to get some highlights but my hair became weak, too weak that it started falling off rapidly in the weeks following. I was using my curl shampoo and enhancing gel so my hair was still really curly. I went to the salon to cut my hair and get curtain bangs, and they're medium-length now, neither short nor long. Since I ran outta the products that I used for my curls, I started using shampoo for straight hair and my hair became wavy. Now, I'm not dealing with hair fall at all. I'm taking care of my hair and using oils everyday. Today, I've ordered the same products that I used on my curly hair and am kinda excited. My hair is wavy atm but it's a weird kinda wavy because I have some limp curls in between. SO, WILL I GET MY CURLS BACK? When I wash my hair now, it is neither straight nor curly. There is no curl pattern but there are some waves in my wet hair that look kinda curly. When I get the products, I'll use them and let you know.
And also, when I hit puberty, my hair became curly. So I think I have the curly hair dna for sure. But really, will I get the curly hair back? I'll have to use the products anyway. I think I'll get them back because my hair is wavy-curly kinda thing. There is no full dna strand kinda curl in my hair atm, but I had them before I got my hair cut and when I used the right products for my hair.
Sorry for writing such a long comment, but I need answers ASAP. I loved my curls.
Love ❤️ your videos ...
You mentioned you use Bounce Curl Spray once dry (I have use it in the middle of my diffusing-feels stick🥺)...do you use it after or before sotc? Thanks 😊
Try it on dry hair just for touch ups. You can try either before or after SOTC
POLYQUATS VS SILICONE 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I saw a video where you used a brush to create several ringlets at once. It had ridges on the sides. Where did you get it?
I live in Arizona which is dry most of the time but the summers are 110+ and no matter what your going to sweat, every single day, and when monsoon season hits there is so much moisture in the air that my hair goes crazy. How do I battle high heat with high moisture during the summer months here? Heat during the day and moisture at night. And how do I not look greasy during those summer months when sweating if I'm not suppose to shampoo every day?
I got a buzz cut because it was getting very long and frizzy , is there anything I can do make my hair healthier or more curly as I’m growing it out?
My hairs are so much loaded with moisture... I Clarify my hair do not apply conditioner and leave in conditioner just gel and mousse even then my hairs look mushy!
My hair pattern is schizophrenic...lol....super curly hair at the nape/underneath vs the top hair, which is limp, straightish/wave and lacking any solid curl....more like sad waves. Ha. *sigh*
Betting hard water that we have here isn't helping...time to clarify and obtain a filter for my showers!
Thank you for your incredible effort and informative videos us thin haired curly haired gals, Gena! xx
Aw thank you!
And there´s no shampoo that can help with hard water but can be used regularly (with surfactants instead of sulfates)? or is a surfactant shampoo with apple cider vinegar rinse enough? Really only with Edta and... 3:20 ?So these ingrediets are harsh as sulfates right? Oh no..this means i have to dry out my scalp, and then it gets even more oily. That why i refused to do final washed/ washes with clarifying shampoo (therefor i don´t use products which cause build up). Or aren´t they harsh as sulfates (the edta surfactants...) and could be used daily?
so i did a big chop and now it isn’t as curly and is really frizzy..
Can I use these products on my 6 yr old?
Why isn’t it good to air dry my hair? I have wavy hair that is salt and pepper and course, gets some frizz but I don’t use any products with glycerin .
How often do you wash with the hard water removing shampoo?
I would do 1-2 times per month depending on how hard your water is
Thanks for the vedio gena. My hair is quite similar to yours in texture and curl pattern but it doesn't clump from the roots like yours.The roots are poofy non curly mess while the rest curls up. Any tips for that?
Do you clarify? I also have a video here all about root definition: ruclips.net/video/WlfhCuNFh7I/видео.html
@@GenaMarie thnks for replying. I actually clarify once a week due to my scalp being super oily. Will check out the vedio again. Thanks
I have high iron in our water. I have grey hair, its dull and not curling like it used to. Will that shampoo help me? Should i be using anything else?
Make sure that you are applying your hair products to your roots. I know most people cant get away with this however their are exceptions. If your texture is similar to Genas, it can handle a bit of curl cream and gel at the root. I also have similar textured hair to Gena, its a must for me to apply to my roots for root definition.
@@lisapuskas5356 yes it will once or twice a month.
The Malibu Chelating Shampoo isn’t available anymore.
My hair needs lots and lots of moisture and I've never been found to be allergic to anything however I don't know why but my hair absolutely hates coconut oil. I have the worst hair day ever if I use products with it.
mine too hates coconut oil. try olive oil and jbco. castor oil.....
Same here! It always causes so much wet frizz and webbing for me
My curls are so stretched for some reason. I wear it natural. I’m confused. And it’s not super long. It’s like bra strap length/mid back when it’s wet
When I leave the shower, it looks like a cloud. No definition. I wonder if it’s because I use the tangle teezer to take the deep conditioner out. Am I damaging my hair by doing that? Does that stretch it? I must try something new then
It's normal for your hair to not have defintion right after washing. That is what styling products are for!
This is awesome to know.
Question - so when you put on the Bond rehab salve on damp hair is it Damp on hair with product or Damp on clean shampooed hair?
I have heard people saying that you don't have to shampoo first, but, if your hair is full of product, how is the bond salve supposed to soak in? Right? I did a clarifying shampoo first, then the bond salve, then a deep conditioner for 30 minutes!!! You definitely have to do the deep conditioner. And, you can just use a regular shampoo or co wash before the bond treatment, as well. But, supposedly you don't have to wash it first. I wanted to make sure I got the most benefit from it, so, I shampooed first.
@@missmelody6185 thanks so much 🙏🏻super helpful 🥰I’ll have to try it the way you did
@@kathysahori You're welcome!!!
is bond curl just a protein treatment?
Yes however it also has bond repair ingredients as well which help repair broken bonds rather than simply depositing protein
@@GenaMarie oh right ok will try it thank u
Does anyone have experienced increased shedding when using conditioner?
i getting loads of shedding recently. i think i just needed a protein treatment. i use shea moisture the blue protein deep cobditioner it helped with shedding. i also had to start using a protein gel.i always use no protein gel nd cream...i now start using eco argan oil gel it has protein in.think its helping. u might need more protein products or more protein treatment......maybe
Thanks for your advive! I don't use protein in my haircare regime so I will try it. I was just wondering why conditioner causes so much hair fall out?
@@aygu80 It shouldn't. Usually conditioner is put on the ends of the hair and not the roots. Unless specifically formulated (like curlsmith postbiotic conditioner) conditioner is not meant for the scalp
I think (my case anyway) it is from the naturally shedded hair being stuck in product (I use gel). When I only wash twice a week, there is all that naturally shedded hair that’s been stuck to the rest of my hair, that finally comes out, and it looks like you’re losing a lot of hair at once.
@@ceystal I don't use conditioner on my roots and I don't use any styling products. it's so frustrating 😑
