I've been teaching my brother about curls thanks to your vids. He started growing his hair out during quarantine. He and I are the only curly gingers in our family and the curly community definitely helped me fix the problems with my hair that no one else could.

[@danielletoohey8193]

Im 37. Over the last year I have learned about my curls.

[@jenniferguevara2809]

I wish I had more curly friends so that I could share your knowledge with them. You deserve all the recognition and subscribers in the world ♥️🌹😓

[@GenaMarie]

Aww you're too sweet! Thank you! 🥰

[@yasmine2556]

SAMEEE! All my friends have straight hair, and only one has curly hair but it is more of 3b-3c and im mostly 2c and a bit of 3a

[@sc1123c]

I’m lucky, almost all my friends have curly hair. Just my best friend has straight/wavy lmao

[@lillyemo]

My hair some times become wavy and curly and super curly

[@lillyemo]

If you want we can be friends

[@queenofcamp832]

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!

[@simplyfitwithtara]

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!

[@imyourhappydrug]

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 :)

[@shannonepplett7890]

Just a clarifying question... you leave the conditioner in then shampoo, right?

[@imyourhappydrug]

@@shannonepplett7890 Mostly, yes. 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.

[@Aya-uj9td]

@@imyourhappydrug so you put conditioner twice before and after shampooing?

[@imyourhappydrug]

@@Aya-uj9td Yes if I have styling product to wash out, I do. If I have no stylers in but my hair needs a wash I will shampoo then condition as normal :)

[@Sugarfoot1271]

This helped so much, Gena! Especially the tip about washing and all upside down. I've been doing that lately and I've definitely noticed a difference but I didn't know why. It's the fuller cuticle. Thanks! Now I'm off to watch your 8 styling mistakes video 😊

[@GenaMarie]

Yay! Glad it helped. i get so many more tangles and more shedding when I do anything upside down, especially washing.

[@thayna1586]

I tried these tips, as well as your other videos' and it worked like a CHARM. Seriously, thank you so much.

[@biscuit3834]

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!

[@Cat-no8ts]

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!

[@Irish9598]

Your hair looks like it's getting thicker! And it's definitely growing! Beautiful as always ❤️

[@GenaMarie]

Thank you! I feel like it might be too! 🙌🏼

[@ElaEG]

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! 🙂

[@DebCampos]

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!!

[@brokenbutterfly3178]

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?

[@jessg.829]

So much great information! I love that you take the time to explain everything thoroughly. I look forward to learning from you every week. 😊

[@GenaMarie]

Aw thank you! I appreciate you watching each week. 🥰

[@pattydecosta6160]

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

[@anne9134]

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.

[@curlgirl4265]

Gena, I am going to try these tips tomorrow on wash day. I have problems with frizz and this is super helpful. Thanks!

[@Sam-uy5jq]

Me with pin straight hair: yes. top knowledge!

[@kenzie7343]

This helped me so much! My great-gradma, grandma, and mom all had curly hair. But my mom never really gave me any tips on how to fix/style it. She has gotten my shampoo/condition for curly hair and other products from Rizzo Curls but never really and tips, so I would look on yt and tt for tips. This has bu far been the most informational video I have seen so far thank you!😌

[@babyted7901]

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

[@702desertmom]

This was a total eye opener! I can’t wait to try this out Gena! Thanks for sharing! Love your videos!

[@GenaMarie]

Yay! So happy to hear🥰

[@gingersnaps5979]

I had no idea washing upside down would affect my hair! Wow! Thank you!

[@texantourguide]

you lifesaver. I always thought it was just the humidity but ends up a quick brush before a shower isn't enough to detangle, i need to condition before my shampooing which i never even knew was a possible concept lol. Hair grows a lot longer now

[@sandragarcia5261]

Your videos are always super helpful. You really do a great job explaining. Thank you.

[@GenaMarie]

Thank you for watching!

[@beautiful-moonlight514]

thank you I will try all theses next time ! Really helped me! I really did not know, all the others videos lied about COLD water for rincing....

[@TheNuggetShow2]

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 😒

[@candicefoy]

I never thought of washing upside down ! I always wash upside down because I really want to get underneath near the nape. Thanks for the tips :)

[@KTO2000]

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?

[@johannassburg]

Could it be the weight of the water? Like maybe try to dry it faster or something??

[@ilxveeunchqe]

thank you. i never knew about the conditioner on roots avoiding scalp 😊

[@seerchannah102]

I love your channel. These videos are so helpful.

[@rachellep2581]

[@xtinejoy]

This is the first vudeo I've watched from you. It's so helpful. I'm just new to curly hair washing method and I'm doing it wrong. Thank you so much!

[@GenaMarie]

Welcome! Glad it helped ❤️

[@5forhvn]

I used your methods and what a difference it made! Thank you!

[@GenaMarie]

That makes me so happy! thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@NinaRoxz]

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).

[@ElaEG]

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.

[@Italianqueen1966]

Love it!! Thank ya Gena 🤗

[@tiltingplanet2869]

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

[@hankahamidovic7859]

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

[@julianna3162]

Hi, Gena! I hope you can make a video about trying out shampoo/conditioner bars for curly hair. I'm planning to switch and want to know your thoughts about it. Btw, love your videos! They helped me a lot in my journey. xoxo

[@christubbs2614]

Excellent video, thank you!!!

[@debe5975]

A few of questions for you: 1) What oil were you using when deranging your hair? 2) What Twist Shampoo and conditioner do you use if you are NOT clarifying and NOT deep conditioning your hair? 3) Do you ever use a Twist Leave-In Conditioner or only the Curl Lotion and then gel? 4) Do you always style your hair while standing upright once you are out of the shower? Thank you SO much for the awesome videos that you make for those of us just starting to learn what to do with our naturally curly hair!!!

[@GenaMarie]

Sure! Answers below. Thank you! 1) Oil: bit.ly/3ouhmbl 2) I have not tried any others yet but I want to soon! 3) I have only tried the Weather Up Cream and the Weather Up Gel I showed 4) Yes, I prefer upright styling always because of my tangly, low density hair type. I"ve discussed the differences in these videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooTcZYeseqaka8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIeuZquAfbaUgdk

[@emmagavars6385]

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

[@tart7868]

What oil do you recommend for dry detangling?

[@hairhunger]

Beautiful shampoo video !!!! ...many more please ! ......

[@caratstayarmyblinkigot7onc489]

- 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.

[@caratstayarmyblinkigot7onc489]

Sorry just gonna add this to my notes! Thank you

Good tips, because lately my hair has been tangling into knots. I clarify once monthly, since I don't use other styling creams right now, other than a monthly protein treatment.

[@LilBitSyko253]

[@tishaterry9886]

When you apply conditioner before shampoo Do you leave the conditioner in or do you rinse? This is excellent information love the tips and tricks. I started using Ouidad products 20 years ago and I’m very impressed with Twist and your detailed breakdown of what to not do and do. Thank you

[@GenaMarie]

No, I don’t fully rinse it out. I don’t think it matters either way. As long as you don’t use too much conditioner it should impact your shampooing. I just use a small amount

[@arlenekanhai]

Gr8 tips 👍

[@jacobdecker2564]

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!

[@aizuni]

I don’t get it

[@misanthr0pic]

it means bend over and rinse your hair out as if you were washing it over the sink or rinsing dye out in the bathtub at the foot* of the tub/faucet.

[@ElaEG]

Sounds like something I should try.

[@sopherpoo]

wow i watched this right after a 2 week wash day

[@Nubesyxochis]

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?

[@aimeedipasquale4259]

What are things I can do to get less volume in my hair?

[@EileenHoying1912]

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

[@chocolat5804]

gonna try this and come back some time after to say if it worked on me, I'm struggling to not have frizz

[@Fiyahgyal]

See I got wet frizz USING twist DC so I was thinking it was that cuz I don't get it with other products

[@lizmartin1844]

Hi Gena, love the video! Does the deep conditioner have a very strong fragrance? Thank you, Liz

[@GenaMarie]

I don't think its too strong, but I'm not sensitive to scents and they don't both me. :)

[@Aya-uj9td]

is conditioning before and after shampooing necessary or should i just condition before shampoo.

[@dudeitsstephanie]

When you condition before shampooing, you wash out the conditioner before applying the shampoo, right? Or no? I realize this seems like an obvious answer, but I like making sure 😁😅

[@ashleylockett4436]

I have a question how do you take a shower when heat damages your hair do you take a cold shower or ? Sorry if this is a rude question

[@dianatorres6341]

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

[@brendaarias5525]

What’s your go to oil for when you detangle hair before shower?

[@rashahany6129]

Hi Gena Thank u so much for all what u do for us I wanna ask if i ll not buy this towel , is it better to use cotton shirt or microfiber towel to dry my hair🤔🤔

[@GenaMarie]

I would say a cotton shirt, but that's just my preference because its flat and doesnt have any fibers that stick up

[@heidijasper5915]

What kind of oil do you use prior to shampooing?

[@zamiazakir726]

About the conditioning first then shampooing part applicable from straight , slightly wavy hair too?

[@LDAR]

I tried the curly girl method and I'm not gonna lie, it never worked for me. I do 9/10 things mentioned here, except putting conditioner on my roots, (specifically because it said not to as it could cause heavy oily hair) I naturally have very dry hair that is plasticy 1/2 days after shampooing and becomes really soft, more defined and less voluminous a few days after (from the oils coming back I assume). Even when poofy, it usually looks nice and curly, with volume, sometimes frizzy and sometimes more compact. But curly girl has either: given me the same result my regular old mart shampoo has, which isn't too bad but then i'd rather just use shampoo (what i did: clarifying shampoo that can also serve as low poo + conditioner / deep conditioner sealed with oil depending on the day). or: greasy, flat, extremely stringy and almost lovecraftian hair (when i used the same method + gel, styling products and others etc) I think I'm just gonna stick to my shampoo

[@Hizwife]

Is it normal to find yourself removing shed hair the entire washday process? I mean from using a conditioner to detangle, to shampooing, to deep conditioning? It seems like the shed hairs never really stop coming during the whole process 🤔

[@IsabelDavila0706]

Yeah, it happens more the longer you go between wash days!! Esp. since we don’t touch or brush our hair as much as other hair types.

[@michelleosmond4356]

If you have 3b spirals curls like me...the worst thing you can do is try to detangle your hair until your done shampooing and have tons of a good conditioner with a good slip. And then again just before you put all your products in by putting a good leave in conditioner and with a wide tooth pick distribute evenly. I really think it's important to say the type of curls you have, as anyone with tighter curls then yours like mine or tighter curls...this would not be a good idea...it would actually create damage.

[@NinaRoxz]

I have 3b/c curls and detangle under running water (no conditioner) before washing.

[@kimmy2405]

What kind of oil would you recommend?

[@angstvhs]

I had natural super super curly hair and then something happened to them now my hair just looks really thick

[@wolfedelasandia3109]

What kind of oil do you use to detangle?

[@gaylesantone1885]

Gena: what about on a day you are going to COLOR? Like, before I go to the sslon?

[@GenaMarie]

If you want to dry detangle before you go, you could do that and just put it up in a bun. If you have a lot of buildup you may want to clarify first to make sure the color penetrates well, but its best to ask your hair stylist because they will know best if that's needed or not with their hair dye.

[@e.elsibea1518]

@Gena Marie I can't help but notice how white you face is even co.pated to your neck and body. I'm curious if you could list what products you use on it, especially anything lightening or sun protective? You may just have the key to a problem I've been looking for for a long long time. Love your videos, girl. Thanks so much!

[@insanelittlefangirl]

[@e.elsibea1518]

@@insanelittlefangirl I was just curious if she used any brightening/lightening products for I, personally have some hyperpigmentation and would love to know if she uses some that work. Is that okay to ask?

[@jamesthesock1349]

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

[@lorrainevanvelsor3655]

What kind of oil do you use to dry-detangle?

[@Rosem1201]

I personally don’t like to just let the shampoo run down my hair because to me that’s not clean enough. We put a majority of our products on the ends of our hair so it makes sense to make sure it’s washed. I don’t shake and mix the hair but I take shampoo and apply it almost like praying hands method and very lightly somewhat squeeze it into the hair and then lightly rub in small sections..not rubbing into the scalp or anything. I find this to be helpful for me to wash my hair in addition to washing my scalp. To each his own and whatever works for everyone will be different 🙂
