okay wtf where has this channel been all my life?! in school i used to straighten my hair to death every day because i was bullied for my frizzy 'hagrid' hair. now im 25 and STILL figuring out how to look after my curls. thank you for these videos!

I'm learning so much! I had no idea my hair was actually wavy/curly until recently...for decades I just thought I had huge, dry, fluffy hair. I just had no idea I was pulling it, brushing it, and drying it straight. This is all so helpful and I see such a huge difference in the health of my hair!

Great video Gena, some very clever tips. As always thank you ❣️

I love your channel. These videos are so helpful.

Love it!! Thank ya Gena 🤗

Thanks Gena. I’m definitely gonna try all your tips on my next wash day♥️

Excellent video, thank you!!!

I’ve been styling my curls for roughly 3 years now and I’ve been doing the same things to my hair that whole time, now I’ve stumbled across this video and my hair has definitely changed for the better!

Gosh this channel has helped so much! My hair is curly and also I keep it dyed to platinum so I have a lot of frizz

Thank you so much

that was very helpful thanks i been doing most of those so no wonder i get really frizzy hair

I have low porosity hair and my hair loves upside down washing, although the other tips sound very convincing. Will try!

Will be trying out the condition, shampoo, condition advice!

Finally a person who has the same hair type as me you are a god sent I love you so freaking much haha 😆 thank you

I recently started using conditioner before shampoo as well as after and it's a game changer. My oil heavy conditioner I was using when my hair was dry works perfectly to break up styling product residue before I shampoo. I now use a lighter conditioner after shampooing instead now that my hair doesn't need as much moisture :)

I drench my hair, add conditioner from root to tips, let it sit for a moment while I shave, make sure it is very wet again before adding shampoo for maximum suds, apply shampoo to the roots, use a gentle scalp scrubber brush under the flow of the shower while rinsing it out then apply conditioner from ears down and let it sit while I wash my face, squish to condish, gently do a final detangle of the hair with a wide tooth comb or tangle teezer and exit the shower to put my hair straight into a microfibre turban.

I tried some of your tips yesterday when I washed my hair, specifically, dry detangling with an oil and applying a small amount of conditioner prior to shampooing. I also tried manipulating my hair less during diffusing, as I've observed that too much manipulation does cause more frizz (and I think I remembering you mentioning it somewhere). I tend to wash and style my hair in the evening and let sleeping on it (with a bonnet) break the gel cast. This morning I did have only a minimal amount of frizz, but my hair was also less full and less curly than usual. My hair does look good, but I like a fuller curlier look. I do appreciate your tips and will continue to tweak them till they work for me. This is clearly a work in progress. Thanks for your videos! 🙂

Gina, this is such a helpful video! You explained a lot why for me having super low porosity hair warmer water and wet styling is the only way my hair absorbs product. Cold water and damp hair only make the products sit on top and build up really quick! PS: my hair tangles very little. Thank you Gina!!

I'm a guy. All my life I've just used shampoo. Once my hair is wet, I unable to run my fingers through em. Applying shampoo fixes that but as soon as I wash it out, my hair turns to glue again. I thought that was normal for everyone untill recently. There is no way I can style my hair when it's wet without pulling on and breaking alot of hair. Any advice?

Such an interesting point on washing upside down. Everyone promotes it but I only find my wavy bleached hair looks terrible after I've done that. I can't leave conditioner on for long because it's uncomfortable and when I flick it back over the shape and tangle is just horrible. It always looks ugly 🤣 I'm going to try the conditioner shampoo conditioner tonight. I really struggle to get my top layer to wave. Its always frizzy no matter what I do, I'm blaming the bleach 😒

I thought I was nuts when it came to conditioning my hair because I, too, was under the impression that when you conditioned your hair you were to not condition the roots because you wouldn't get lift or volume! I'm glad to know that even hair that is dryer, high porosity or lightweight, still needs conditioning even if it's just a glaze over. Also I was basically indoctrinated to wash my hair upside down probably since childhood, typically in the sink! But it's good to know that washing my hair in a vertical position, i.e. my hair in the shower, is actually better off because I'm following the cuticle and it means smoother, less frizzy results. Great video Gina. I'm glad I found your channel!

I loved to know! I was doing everything wrong lmao and omg your face without makeup is so beautiful and young. I'm not the type to talk how someone should wear anything, but you could try more natural makeup like the korean ones to to the lips and blush

learned a whole lot from this video! super excited to keep improving my routine - and not let anyone make fun of me for using "girl products" this time!

I know I'm late to the video but I'm not understanding the issue with washing upside down. The hair is still falling in the same direction (root to tip at the bottom), just in front of your face instead of behind it... and you're still running your hands root to tip, the same way the cuticles go. The only real issue is getting it to fall naturally afterward (flipping it back).

Had the same thought while washing my hair this evening. I don't shampoo upside down, but I often go upside down to distribute conditioners better.

Also rice water is a game changer for healing & strengthing curly hair😉

I'm going to try conditioner first and then shampoo

This is such a good thorough video, until you put the deep conditioner on. How do you rinse it out? In the sink with your hair upside down, like you specifically say not to do! I would really appreciate an answer please. I have only done this method once so far, but it really improved the frizz on my hair and I will definitly continue doing it this way. Thank you.

Any hair oil to recommend? That can be used while detangling before shower and to scrunch out the cast after styling

wow i watched this right after a 2 week wash day

Hi I love your videos but can you make a video about the cantu brand because I heard it makes your hair really dry and I don't want to risk damaging my hair

What oil did you use when dry detangling?

Is this conditioning-before-shampooing the same as using coconut oil on the ends before shampooing? And should the conditioner be applied on dry or wet hair?

Love you!!! You have the best video's, for us frizzy curly headed girls. Can you just come do my hair please lol :) btw your curls are so evenly perfect, mine are part wavy/curly and sooooo frizzy! My hair is so confused.

- untuggle hair with oil before bath, during bath with conditioner before washing - conditioner first then shampoo then conditioner -clarifying shampoo ( not too usually) - normally not upside down - dont skip conditioner -conditioning almist everything just not the inside in scalp. Just pass on top of the scalp with your hands -running fingers through hair to untagle. -deep conditioning 1-4 per months - (from twist) -use warm water. Not too cold or too hot -using cotton fiber to dry it out. Not common body towel.

I have low porosity hair, does this advice still apply to me? Like the conditioning before shampooing.

Curly hair issue: never heard anyone talk about this. My curls will be elongated in the middle for whatever reason - weight, etc. but they’ll be ROUNDER and LOOSER at the ends. Hate it. Absolutely hate it. Ir ruins volume, concentrating it at the ends and contributes to triangle hair. What can help?

Yeah, it may not be necessary when just using a co-wash because it's so mild anyways. You could either dry detangle first (with a little or no oil), or just apply a little cowash or conditioner to wet hair to detangle first, the cowash the scalp like normal.

Something I learned to get more moisture on the top of your hair is to rinse out your conditioner to the front of your face instead of washing it off from behind. That way I can get good moisture on the top of my hair without weighing it down. It’s changed my entire curly hair game!

Hey! I'm a bit curious on how you tie your clarifying shampoo into your routine. I know you said you use it once ever two or so washes, but does that clarifying shampoo replace your normal shampoo on those washes? or do you clarify first, shampoo second, and conditioner last. I'd assume you just use the clarifying shampoo but I had to ask. Thanks for the super helpful video!

A clarifying shampoo is a more powerful shampoo, so there is no need to use both. Clarifying shampoo would replace a regular shampoo on the days you need to clarify to remove buildup. I always recommend deep conditioning after to restore moisture
