1Year Update | What I Think of My CURLY PERM Now

[@naturalmysticone7721]

Since it only takes one generation to forget I would like to remind our younger generation that this technique is not new. This technique was originally invented by a man of color by the name of Comer Cottrell. His product was called the Jheri Curl. He died in 2014. The only difference is the maintenance products. Exact same process exact same look. So before we give away credit for his work let us make sure we remember who originally came up with this process. If you listen to Gina's story she will tell you she originally did Jheri Curls of the original Jheri Curl process back in the day. Rebranding something does not make it new.

I am so glad I'm not the only one with a bad habit of pulling at my nape and edges. Great video!

[@TiaBenie]

😭 okey I feel less crazy now 😂

[@capri102]

Omgg, my daughter has that habit bad. Every time I grow her edge's back out she pulls at them again when reading,watching TV an talking on the phone......Smh

[@Naomi333C]

Yup. That's my bad habit too

[@2theleft2theleft]

Omg. I used to do this. Now I get braids to prevent me from doing this

[@-a866]

@@capri102 wtf. Does it not hurt her?

[@lauren6771]

I used to do the same thing to my kitchen. You should try braiding it into a couple of single braids when you are wearing the rest of your hair out. That way, you can pull on the entire braid instead of single strands which are more likely to break. I’ve been doing it for a few years and it’s working well

[@TiaBenie]

Oooh I actually did that once...that makes a lot of sense I think I’ll try it again 💞 thank youu

[@mervicesmith]

I just binged watched all your GinaCurl videos and loved them! Thank you so much for all the helpful information! Your GinaCurls are gorgeous! ☺️

[@TiaBenie]

Thank youuuu I'm glad I could be helpful💞

[@chrisk6945]

Girl, haters gonna hate. I love these updates. Very informative. Thanks!

[@kerriewithpurpose5722]

Yeah but A hair do should not cost this much man .. what are people really paying for? I doubt it's the products ... something so wrong with how people are just exploiting black women

[@robinblack7883]

These girls aren’t paying that price but telling us to too is misleading. I am sure their curl was free

[@joyandpeacefullaughter5307]

You should write an ebook about your journey through the Gina Curl process.

[@srmariachi5844]

Riiiight

[@EloquentlyEse]

Are you gonna continue doing it forever, or will you eventually transition or big chop?

I'm so ready to get a Gina curl 😀 thanks for the inspiration 😘

It’s the same as a gerri curl

[@bebepierre558]

I did The Gina’s curl procedure it didn’t work out for me. I was shedding like crazy everyday, the product cause me to have scalp irritation. My hair was getting thinner and thinner until I cut it off. I think the chemical was too strong for my hair. What don’t worked for may worked for you. Good luck to everyone who wants to try it.

[@wendyfreeman5999]

You did it yourself?

[@phexi419]

You went to her salon and had it done? How long ago?

[@ms.bubs4fun506]

It's probably better to have a licensed Gina Curl specialist to do your hair.

[@malyikaj]

Can you make a list of products you use with your Gina Curl plus the oils. I’m dealing with severe dryness with my Gina Curl😫

[@TiaBenie]

Oh no 🥵 yeah there was a learning curve in caring for my hair, so I’ll put together some tricks I figured out💞For now, I highly do not recommend co-washing anymore

[@kerriewithpurpose5722]

Something you are using may contain protein.. check your products again... even aloe vera has protein in it

[@janayeantoinette]

I’ve been doing lots of research do you still get the Gina curl done? Did your hair start to break off?

[@DFRKR]

You can live your ideal life u only get one

[@kennedywilliams7180]

I was waiting for this videooooo!!!

[@sandrabrown6411]

My hair is still breaking with the GinaCurl. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I was thinking maybe my hair needs protein treatment which I can’t get with the GinaCurl. I’m taking really good care of it now with my retouch. I still see breakage pieces. Are you using any soft protein treatment at all? Or hair mask?

[@libbydaniels8943]

I have one too. You may be using products that are now a bit too heavy for for your hair. I still use my tea rinses that I used when I was natural, and so far its been helpful.

[@accountantintraining4752]

Your hair coming out from the scalp is worse than breakage from split ends or just chopping off of one strand and the other half is still in the follicle.

[@TiaBenie]

Normal shedding that you get all over your body✨ thé average human loses 50-100 Hairs a day😊 and if you don’t brush your hair everyday there’s going to be some hair that needs to be removed eventually💖the cycle continues and it grows back 😁
