Right now I am suffering with my wavy/curly hair, I’m having wet frizz and clumps and right now I’m using Viori bars I just started and I had clumps and wet frizz before and I am not liking the clumps or wet frizz, ESPECIALLY the clumps it used to not be like that.
Omg I Soooooo needed to watch this video! For months I’ve been styling my hair soaking wet cause that’s What people say to do but I found when I went back to my Damp styling, my hair looked way better and it has hold! Thank you for making this video!
It's been 2 years since I stopped using heat (20 years of weekly applying heat) and I'm still in the 'transitional phase'... my hair is not getting better and I have no idea what to do... your videos helped understand a lot though. So thank you so much. Grateful 🙏
So glad I’m seeing this. I deal with wet frizz. However, it the opposite for me. While i use a moisturizer under my gel, I cannot use a leave in conditioner. If i do, the leave in will create more frizz for me hair at the roots. So i skip the leave in. I use a custard to shape my curls and the gel to hold that shape.
First you are so awesome. Your tips and product recommendations for fine hair have been so helpful. I plan on trying all of the bounce curl products you recommend in this video. Plop diffusing is AMAZING total game changer. Helps with frizz and helps my waves/curls really form and hold their shape. ❤
Yay! So glad it has helped you. That's the only way I diffuse now and it's really helped reduce damage on my ends since I'm not touching my hair with the diffuser until the very end
You’re my new fave person. I’ve only done 2 washes now but I don’t think I can stick w the upside down washing. It doesn’t look any different either. My hair is so long & thick the volume comes from flipping to the other side.. not from standing on my head for 20 min in my shower!!!
Thank you! Did not like my wash day results today, frizz and poofy. Still playing around with routines. Definitely going to try to not tshirt scrunch so much and diffuse sooner. I haven’t figured out the denman brush yet with results I like but I have a lot of hair so maybe a bigger brush like that would be better
Hello Gena! I have Latina curly hair. Most of the time I have wet frizz. My hair is thick and shoulder length. I use gel to seal it after washing. I've tried co washing. Too much build up. I've tried leave in conditioner. Too thick no volume. I'm gonna try a deep conditioner tonight. Hope it works. My hair is healthy but it's either too frizzy or weighed down. Thank you for your videos!
Hey friend 👋🏾 To avoid weighed down hair Use a lighter cream leave in or better yet a liquid leave in (you can even dilute the leave in you have now with water & put it in a spray bottle) carols daughter is really light and great for looser textures because it doesn’t weigh it down. Also incorporating a non alcohol moose after you add gel will make your hair dry faster and with more volume.
I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been watching your earlier videos and just had to say that you are very thorough. You cover every issue with explanations and fixes. I’m really enjoying them. I had my curls until the straight hair trend started and I used an iron too much. I haven’t done that for about 4 years and my curls are starting to come back, thankfully. I had forgotten how to take care of my curls but, with your help, I’m relearning. Thanks so much!
I did a video here about how to create clumps 😊 I still separated them some but not as much lol ua-cam.com/video/74zaXTkyyEg/v-deo.html It’s usually really sparse looking if I don’t separate them; and looks like I have 5 total ringlets on my head 😂🤷🏻♀️
Gena I really appreciate how thorough you are with your explanations, and I like seeing you use the same product line in so many videos. That gives me ideas of how I can maybe get the products to work for me. I love the Bounce Curl leave in with light creme gel, but need to experiment more with the defining cream. Your hair looked so moisturized after that deep conditioner, I really want to try it, but I recently bought so many other brands' DCs that I need to use up first haha. ;)
So glad it’s been helpful! I’ve really been loving their products lately, especially the newer ones. I realized the clump & define cream gives me better results than just the leave in under the gel.
just wanted to say thank you so much 🥺I have recently started looking after my hair and you really have been the main help and I love you so much you are so sweet and beautiful and I hope that you have a wonderful day :)
I have hard water. It really messes up my curly hair. I’m currently looking for a water softener system for my house. How do I know what kind of density my hair has?
Hi Gena, love the instructional tutorials! Also, I went ahead and purchased all the bounce curl except for the cider, the towel and the brush. So excited for this weekend ☺️. Also wanted to let you know that I did use the co-wash’s by bounce curl and the scent did not trigger my migraines. Just an FYI the scents are organic and not synthetic, no migraines triggers. I’m concern about using the cider item. I have low porosity and feel it would make it “worse”. What do you think ? Again, great video. Can’t wait til I get all the products to use them. Have a great weekend.
New to your channel! Amazing tips... followed everything ... i do not know what i am doing wrong.... my hair gets frizzy and my curls aren't defined... i'm discouraged...
😭😭 thank you! Just watched this and followed step by step; loving the results! I argued with the brush because my hair is short so I finger coiled clumps. Went back in with a light mist of my leave in conditioner before smoothing a bit more gel in. A lack of moisture was definitely part of my wet frizz problem. I had accepted this frizz as part of living in Humidity City (no joke, 80-100% most of the year). I have almost zero wet frizz! And pressing out excess water instead of scrunching it out 🤯 no more bent/crooked “at least they tried” curls. That last bit though... about how you fluff out the back while it’s still wet/damp... I have a cowlick and it looks like a bald spot 😂 even though I have medium-high density I needed this tip.
I really learn alot from ur videos ... I have damaged hair from bleaching it blonde for many years . At this point I have not put any chemicals in my hair for 2years and I have alot of Friz and damaged hair follicle do u have any ideas on how to strengthen my hair to bring it back to the way it was 🤯🌻🙏
High porosity hair can go into protein overload if you used too much over time, it's just not as likely to occur as it does with those with low and medium porosity. High porosity hair needs protein to help strengthen it. With any hair type, balance is key.
I just started to do the curly girl method. I have not been super harsh on my hair for years though. Like I don't really used a lot of heat on it, I don't color or bleach my hair, etc....but I do have a thyroid disorder and have a crazy amount of breakage which I believe is because of my thyroid condition. I am just worried that I am never going to be able to tackle the frizz because it is caused by breakage and the shorter broken hairs don't want to clump.
Whoops 😅 I thought that a mask was the same as a deep conditioner. Also I do tend to rinse my hair upside down as I don’t like the products on my back…I see where I’m going wrong 🤔 thanks 😊
Sorry but is it compulsory to use all the products that you mentioned in the video? I just bought some other products for curly hair, before I watch this video ☹️ so just the products you used can reduce the wer frizz?
Gena Marie good afternoon 🌻....I appreciate this tutorial it's beyond needed for my hair...with its loops and dry frizz..The time listed for each step and the links 💞 Much Love for that Sincerely Tee Jay
My hair doesn't curl that much anymore and I don't know if it's because it's too long and it can't curl that much anymore or not. Can I let it grow or do I really need to cut it?
Yes a haircut always makes a big difference for me with making my curls spring up more. Also, Olaplex gives me more ringlets. More on that here: ua-cam.com/video/BRYjpOYZctE/v-deo.html
In June and two weeks ago I cut off a total of 12 inches. My hair now barely hits my shoulders. I’m at month 5 of cgm and a big chop was definitely what my hair needed. I’ve had 3 wash days since my cut two weeks ago and each time I have more 3a curls than the last wash. I love this length a lot and debating whether I want to grow it out. I’ve never had healthy long curly hair so I may.
Ive been parting my hair then finger coiling my hair for the past year now, and now my hair wont hold a curl when i scrunch it. Also i use this brush called duoflex by stylin to style my curls, but i dont think its for curly hair, nd sometimes id get lazy and just brush ( upwards away from my scalp) ny curls then finger coil, but now my curls dont last as long and they wont hold when i finger coil them. What do i do? Have i permanently damaged my hair texture or something licke that?
If you use a brush on your hair, ever - but especially when wet, it should be natural bristle. Always. Full stop. Plastic brushes create friction with natural hair, which in turn creates static electricity. Not only us this self defeating viz a viz frizz, but you will seriously and permanently damage your hair - especially if there is tension (which there is, because there's friction). The hair will stretch, the structure will damage - and despite any and all products you might ever want to lather on - the only remedy for your (now) damaged hair is a major haircut.
May I ask you how long it takes you to diffuse your hair. I also have low porosity (I think) but I also have very thick hair. When air dying it takes 5 or 6 hours for my hair to dry. I've diffused a couple of times but my arms get tired after about 10 minutes of holding up the blow dryer.
I do the plop diffusing method where I plop my hair over the counter. A lot of times I will set my diffuser down on the counter and let the air blow towards my hair so I don’t have to hold it 😊 it usually takes me 15-20 minutes depends on how wet my hair is. I always recommend scrunching out excess water before or after you apply your stylers to reduce the drying time.
Hey there, I've watched you for some time. Mostly because our curl type is very similar, but I'm wondering... why don't you frame your face with your hair? You have a very high hairline and it tends to shape your head like a box the way it is. I hope you don't feel offended, I'm guessing the reason is transitional or something. I just feel your hair would be so much more complimentary to your face and hair line shape, framed. Everyone has their own taste and you don't look bad mind you, just really boxy. Is this the reason you keep your hair cut this way? Transitional reasons? Thanks for all your great content I really appreciate it! Smiles and blessings...
Some months before I put an egg mask like 2 times but after all the shampooing and drying my hair doesn't feel any softer or shinier feel? Is it a protein overload or something?
I don't usually recommend egg masks, or homemade masks, because the proteins and benefits cannot penetrate the hair because they're in their whole form. It just sits on the surface and washes away. A store-bought deep conditioner with protein ingredients have proteins that have been "hydrolyzed" which means the molecules are broken down into smaller form to actually be able to benefit your hair.
I like this girl but jeez information overload! Too many products! I am more confused than ever! Every video is completely different products and processes. Give me some basic principles I can follow to get good results.
My recommendation is you have low porosity this can happen. You must completely soak your head in warm water under the shower until it all aborbs (which can be minutes) before washing so it shampoo can penetrate properly to remove build up. And also use heat during the deep conditioning and leave in stage
Don't forget to watch part 1 if you haven't already! ua-cam.com/video/JX594pnjUsI/v-deo.html

My hair is very thin as well and I find scrunching my hair with a shower cap the light caps that you throw away reduces frizz and get better curls

How do you knów what porosity you have ?
When do you use too much protein for high porosity hair?
High porosity hair can go into protein overload if you used too much over time, it's just not as likely to occur as it does with those with low and medium porosity. High porosity hair needs protein to help strengthen it. With any hair type, balance is key.
I've been having wet frizz since I started the CGM. It's been 3 months!
I still have it after several years, but it’s likely due to me having high porosity hair.
@@GenaMarie To me, I think it's because of my protein overload. I have low poro hair!
I got protein overload and I never understood why my wet frizz was getting really bad. Protein overload 🙄
Just one question: Doesn't combing/brushing wet hair lead to more fall outs??
It can, if you shed a lot. I just try and be very gentle with it and make sure my hair is already detangled.
Thank you gena for your interesting and educational videos like always you are so pretty god bless you.😘💜
