    I have thin wavy hair that’s also fine. The Curlsmith lotion did nothing for me, but the proteins in the aqua gel work really well. The best thickener I have found is the Ouidad Out of Thin Hair jelly.

The Umberto Giannini has brought my hair back to life after using heavy, creamy and buttery products. I cannot believe the difference. Thank you so so much! I am truly grateful.

    Yes! Please do a video with the new innersense foam! I have tried it twice and both times ended up with way too much of a cast. I paired it with the AG curl fresh definer which was a mistake lol. I can't remember the other combo, I just know it was a cream & a gel the 1st time.

    Great video...thank you! I love the Not Your Mother's Mousse. I have type 2c, fine/medium, high porosity hair. The mousse gives me so much volume. I have found that I definitely need a cream under it or my hair becomes dry and brittle (which is why I haven't used it in awhile). What cream would you recommend under this mousse?

  • @susanemerson8049

  • @Possumpalz
    @Possumpalz 9 місяців тому +5

    Infusium 23 leave in+ small amount of the scalp care curlsmith jelly has done wonders for me! I stopped using mousse. I wrap my hair in a towel for like 5 min and spritz with some water. Put the product in, and wrap in microfiber towel. And diffuse after about 20. I tried the kitsch strengthening shampoo and conditioner bars (rice protein) and my hr has looked amazing. I have either thin or fine hair. I don’t know which.

  • @celinaemily2082
    @celinaemily2082 6 місяців тому

    Great video! I have 2c to 3a hair and it's most probably thin. I always struggle with maintaining the structure and volume of my curls/waves. Should I use leave in, gel AND mousse or just one or two products at the same time? I am afraid that too much will weigh down or destroy my hair structure. Thxx in advance!

    Super helpful video! Have you tried the Rizo’s Curl mousse? Also do you have any tips on how to take product out of the hair if you have applied to much? I notice that with foams and mousses it is easy for me to overapply and it makes my hair super foamy. Would you suggest using a wet towel to take product out or should I rinse off the hair in the shower?

    • @GenaMarie
      @GenaMarie  9 місяців тому +1

      No, I haven't tried it. You can spray your hair with water and then scrunch with a hair towel to soak up the excess.

  • @teresasugden466
    @teresasugden466 2 місяці тому

    When i go thru all these steps, my hair looks great for 1 day, then after sleeping its all fuzzed. I use coconut oil and castor oil. I let it air dry, then smooth the top crown with a flat iron, leave the back curly if I want or smooth it too. I can go a week without washing. You just have to play with the correct amount...dont overdo it, but if you do, fix it by blow drying a bit.

    • @GenaMarie
      @GenaMarie  2 місяці тому

      Are you using a gel? I don't recommend just using an oil on your hair and no styling products if you want long-lasting frizz protection.

    I recently tried Boucleme foam. Came out more like a mousse, didn't like hiw it felt whle distributing thru the hair. But volume and no frizz factor were great. My definition was good initially but fell out pretty early in the day. Also felt a bit drying. Will try again with more moisturizing leave in and a strong hold gel. And see. Not in the drugstore category though.... More on the expensive side.

  • @simplycurlyde
    @simplycurlyde 9 місяців тому

    Is that hairspray from Bounce Curl considered a working or finish hairspray? I bought a non aerosol working, that was recommended by another influencer. She sprays it on her wet hair before diffusing. I tried it and didn't like the way my hair felt afterwards. I don't like throwing stuff away, I wonder if I were to use it as a styler would be better.🤔

    • @GenaMarie
      @GenaMarie  9 місяців тому

      It depends on how much you use. It gives an extreme cast so perhaps it would be considered a finisher. However if you don't use too much and jut spritz some on wet hair, you can still get some flexibility.

      Mine is going gray and thinning. I also don't have interest in applying so many steps to my hair. I have some nice curl areas, just fuzz areas, and some in between. I use small amount coconut oil on my wet hair, comb it thru then let it air dry. Any of my fuzzy areas get smoothed out with a flat iron or curling iron for bigger smooth curls or lift.
