I have a biracial daughter with 3 different kinds of curls. The back like a white hair, with thick curls. The middle is more like a black hair with thight curls, and the front is more of a mixed hair of thin and medium, any suggestions?
New curly girl here from chemo. I find this video so helpful and now have a list of products to try! Thank you!!

Me too post Chemo
I've been waiting for this video! This is my hair type!
Love this video so informative. Thank you
I could have really used your channel in highschool, it would have saved me so many bad hair days 😊 Another great video, stay sweet 😍
Love the thickening lotion as well!
Great video exactly what I needed. Always trying to find the right recipe.
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.
Wow I’m only 2 minutes in and am getting so much out of this video already. Thanks like always Gena!!!
I was just about to head out to get hair stuff and came to your channel to look at your old lists and saw you uploaded a new video lol Watching this first before I head out.
I love Twist Weather Up gel! I’ve repurchased it more than any. Also on Jessie Curl, if I use Blueberry Bliss leave in prior.. chef’s kiss!
Suggestion for a video: your #1 fave go to curly hair routine w steps and products 🙏🏼
Gena, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your videos and amazing knowledge :) My hair is fine and very dense so this video has helped me more than you will ever know. 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.
I love your videos!!! They always help me a lot! Please try the Innersense foam- I’m on the fence on getting it
So helpful. Thanks.
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.
Your hair is beautiful!!
Ty so much this really helped me
Great video. After watching your channel I tried the Not Your Mother's Mousse and love it. Thank you so much. I have not used mousse in more than 20 years and would never have tried it without seeing your videos.

Good to know! Thx
Exactly what I was hoping for, thanks Gena!🥰
Great tutorial! And thanks to you I able to transition my curls and silvers!❤ I have the 3 L's 😅 my go to is CS moisturizer label or protein. My bangs and crown r coarse. Bounce curl not my thing I like their hair tools. I will love to see a Innersence review for my hair type. Just received Twist clarifying as a low budget. I'll keep you posted how that went. Appreciate your hard work!
Great Video. Hope you do video for other hair types.
I’d like to see a video on the mousse you mentioned that was difficult to know how much to use. I have fine low density, thinning due to age, and have been wanting to explore mousse as a new option
My hair is fine and I’m usually a mouse kind of gal but lately I’ve been using Ouai curl cream and I love it. It’s very thick and Ithought for sure it would weigh my hair down but it doesn’t
Love all your videos!! Have you tried any of the Odelle products? I am curious to know how they work
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?
The new innersense foam is very tricky. I am still working on finding the right combo. I have found for this product the wetter my hair the better when applying
Definitely interested in a more in depth review for Innersence
Love AG Recoil. It never fails me.
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!
I really love this video. You and your hair are so pretty. If you don’t mind me asking, what hair cut do you ask your hairdresser for. Thanks Gena. Blessings from the U.K. xxxx

The Tracy Ellis styling Custard is the only product you need! I have tried them all and this stuff works without weighing hair down or making it crispy. You have to try!
I would love a full video featuring the Innersense foam! I've been wanting to try it and would definitely appreciate a tutorial. I've also been loving the Rizos Curls hairspray, have you tried it?

Wow…that little fine-medium-density-brown curly head is full of curly girl fact and knowledge!! Bam, every fact you ever wanted to know about curly hair in one video👍☮️💕💋 PS - Your curls are looking bomb-tastic!!
Use Wen! it’s best for my fine curls
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.

@GenaMarie - What are your thoughts on Aveda products? I used to use Aveda a lot and love the products but I'm not sure what to use (if any) since my hair has increased its curl (From a slight wave)
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
9 ай бұрын
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.
can you do the same video for thick coarse and dry hair ?
@genamarie HALP!! No matter what product combo I use or how much I clean my scalp I’m getting horrible flakes by day 2. I’ve tried so many products and cleansers. 😢 what am I doing wrong. I’m also experiencing a ton of hair loss. I have fine low density hair. I used to have medium density but since the hair loss I feel like I barely have hair now
Would like more drug store options like walmart where I can just grab quick while getting groceries! Also low in price!
As a hair spray I do like B&B and the new CS hair spray
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.
BOTH InnerSense foam reviews please... The Definition foam is SO HARD HOLD.. i have been trying mixing them.

I loooove knot today, my go to fav
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.

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.
My hair is gray .I kind I need a lot for moisture.but nothing hold my curls .big fizz .Help!!

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.
What’s the name of the Twist one?
Did you get invisilign? Just wondering because i had it years ago and i recognized the slight lisp 😊

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
9 ай бұрын
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.
at what point do you use a heat protectant if youre diffusing
Hi Gena, I have thin gray hair; it only looks good on wash day. I use a satin pillowcase, but my hair is kinky and curly the next day. I use a cream, gel, and mousse, but my hair just won't behave! HELP
Are most of the high ends at Ulta ?
I have coarse low density hair but apparently that's very normal for redheads according to my stylist
Can you elaborate on the protein/porosity comment? Does high porosity = need more protein?
