Come with me to get my Curly Perm retouch! (Detailed)

[@meditationlab7210]

I ended up getting the Gina curl on 2 occasions and my hair was shredding and breaking off like I’ve never seen it before on my last retouch. Never straightened my hair and washed it 2 times a week. Thought it would help for easier hair maintenance but ended up with a big chop and starting over. If it’s working for her that’s amazing. But ladies as you come across other folks that do the Gina curl you will not hear about constant up dates to the process after maybe 2 years. As a black woman let’s not let these folks play with your hair. I took a chance and my choice was horrible. On a good note, I’m embracing the short hair cut and excited for the new hair journey.

[@leannewheeler5351]

Thanks for the insight

[@ThatLady365]

It's a perm. You have to take care of it like a perm and your natural hair.

[@jazzip]

I noticed this as well. The last updates were 2yrs ago. Loren is the only one with a more recent update. I’m glad I didnt drink the kool aide

[@AneesaH.]

It looks really cute up, but it reminds me of damaged curls when it's down. I wonder if they offer a tighter curl pattern to avoid loose ends.

[@freethegreat]

I achieved a looser curl pattern by moisturizing every single day with a light, water-based moisturizer. Then detangling, then brushing with the brushes more commonly used for straight textured hair, until my curls stretched. Add a heavy oil, brush, then add a LIGHT gel to weigh your curls down. Takes 45 minutes Lasts between 1-3 weeks depending on how you maintain it👌🏾 overtime, you wont have to touch up bc your hair will naturally curl that way. Treat your hair like a plant ❤ good luck and ty for sharing your content.

[@no.6377]

To be honest, I got the same results -- water and moisturizer with a gel will get you the same jerk curls they sold to is in a box. I just hate styling my hair wet so much that I couldn't keep it up 😂 But it's honestly a really low maintenance style and helped my hair grow a little faster, so I might go back to that🤔

[@dari4303]

Your mom is so beautiful! No wonder you're so gorgeous you get it from your mama!😍

[@alonniehall4459]

I had a Gina curl in 2021 and absolutely loved the initial results but then my hair started shedding like never before every time I washed it. Then whenever I would touch it I would always pull long strands out non stop , there was always hair on my shoulders. I thought I was gonna have to start from scratch with my hair. But with Olaplex, protective styles (braids) and trims let’s just say my hair survived. Yikes!!! What’s even more frustrating is you can’t straighten it and it should usually be wet or moisturized ( God forbid I washed it, it felt it’s weakest ) but my hair was so weak from an overdose of moisture it needed a protein balance BUT with the Gina curl you’re supposed to stay away from protein or else fear messing up the curl pattern so it was a double edged sword. I tried every product under the sun. But the first 2 months were gorgeous. Your first Gina curl video is one of the reasons I decided to get it. But I’m so glad it working for you! Different strokes for different folks and I hope I can find a curl reformer that my hair will like one day. Buuuut right now I’m working on getting my lush thickness back.

[@imani642]

I was thinking that something like this would be difficult to maintain with type 4 hair but this video clears that up. This looks much easier to manage.

[@Tizza2x]

girllll you are gorgeous! the resultsss😍😍

[@nicolabrown2766]

Fyi she gets paid to market this process. As a past client for 2yr. You have to treat it like a Jerry curl and keep it hydrated 24/7 to get the best results and their products dont work. Dont waste your money. The hair is very fragile and will break over time so avoid heat, braids, weaves, clip-in etc. Stay away from coloring the hair because it will definitely fall out. I dont recommend for 4c and/thin hair. Remember i warned yall

[@nicolabrown2766]

From experience it gets thinner with every touch up and the hair is much fragile with detangling, plus the curl pattern is never the same from the 1 experience

[@Beeluv4u]

As a seasoned stylist of 43 years, curls were my favorite but what I don’t like is there is no maintenance products to keep the hair from dying out. This causes the hair to shed. I have seen too much hair loss because of this.

[@spicytruth8721]

I don’t choose to put chemicals in my hair, but I have a different texture. So I’m not into judging someone else’s journey. But I do want to say you’re literally so beautiful 😩💕and transparent.

Shampooing and scrubbing your hair before the process makes your scalp tender.

[@UniqueD22]

Thanks for the share. Do you remember what product she used to coat the processed hair (the end of the hair that was previously processed)?

[@RocknRollDina]

girl, you're so pretty!

[@CaliNOLA9]

All you need is a good clarifying shampoo, good conditioner, Camel Rose Natural Curl love and Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic. Stay away from that Dyson blow dryer (it’s not ionic like must blow dryers) it will dry your hair out. The end. You will have the same results. People make stuff complicated to sale products.

[@TheKutie36]

I love curls… I just can’t get over it idc… I have gorgeous locs but I highly contemplate combing them out and now I’m considering this

[@ReneeElfe-j2p]

Your hair looks beautiful. I live in south Florida and I have been wearing my hair in braids and weave for years. Now I am wearing my natural hair and I don’t know what to do with it. I am lost so I have been watching many videos trying to figure out what products to use. Anyway I love the way your looks and I love your videos.

[@itsallrelative8131]

I hear ya! The humidity is ruthless haha. I was natural also and lost with my hair. I had locs, braids, afro, keratin etc. Have you tried two strand twists? I enjoyed doing my own twists but wanted something different. I didn't want to go back to a chemical but I eventually settled on Wave Nouveau. Which works out well in these humid states and is quite freeing. Good luck on finding your perfect styles and try to enjoy the journey namaste :)

Is your hair actually easier to manage though? This seems still like a lot of work with the maintanence, new growth etc. I wonder if it’s less work to be presentable but not actually easier to manage 🤔 cus as a 4c girlie who hates the amount of work, I considered this but am exhausted by the just watching what y’all go through for styling and transition phase so idk lol i’m a lazy natural

Same type of chemical but not same process as wave nouveau- only single process rather than double process. Peoples hair tends to break less with Ginacurl- at first anyway

[@ms.bubs4fun506]

@@eyekandy3000it looks like a double process

[@eyekandy3000]

They process you hair straight with Japanese thermal straightening product then set the curls with heat for 3 hours. The product they apply to roller they say is heat protectant - so I’ll take their word for it and neutralizer used at rinse out. With wave nouveau they use a second processing chemical while in rollers.

[@veryfair2927]

Girl we need to be besties.

[@aestheticallyunique9093]

Wow. You are breathtakingly beautiful!!! I love this look on you. However, You can achieve more defined curl without processing your hair. A wash n go with the Extreme Wetline gel will have your curls popping. You can then do the banding method to stretch your curls for length if that’s what you desire.
