Which way is your favorite way to part your hair? Are you going to try something new?!

[@diana4043]

I go for the deep side part- but only at the very front of my hair. I’ve been using a lot of the volume techniques you suggested- great results! Thank you 😊

[@lindseyprozanski2898]

My hair is similar to yours except I’m blonde. This is so helpful!

[@shelbytreadway587]

I typically part on the side straight back, which really causes the same issue you have of the scalp showing in the back. It makes me feel bald😱😱😱 I'm going to try the zigzag part in the morning and really focus on cutting the part much shorter of a line.

[@melodythejoy]

I've parted on the left for years but this video really made me think about my "good side" and I might switch.

[@beckyshaknovich7554]

I tend to center part. I have bangs and I like the look of more volume on the sides than on top

[@almostelphaba]

It’s so great that you are focusing so much on low density hair, so many curly youtubers have such thick voluminous hair and their tips and tricks and product recs don’t always work for us low density folks, or the results they get just aren’t realistic for us. Your videos are so helpful and affirming!

[@kenyap101]

Aaaaamen!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Yes! I love her channel for that

[@erikacreatedit]

Agreeeeed!!!!

[@JennaKlaire_3p]

My hair is thick but thinning quickly. I feel like I’m losing curl so I like her tips. Here it’s winter and my hair tends to frizz more in the winter. I love the dove amplified textures. I was using hasks curl line but I feel after while it stripped my hair of shine. Guess I should stick with what I know works

[@88cowgrl]

Exactly!!

[@VengefulAngeI]

I love how your recent videos seem to really focus on helping lower density and/or flat roots! I know you always touch on it, but lately it seems like there's been a LOT of help in your videos! Love it, thanks!

[@GenaMarie]

So glad you like them!

[@shelbytreadway587]

@@GenaMarie agreed! It seems like the majority of videos out there are all aimed toward women with big full heads of hair.

[@AnaMiel4324]

I agreed. Also not everybody who has low density has thin texture. I have low with medium strands and her videos are my whole grail and Im re-structuring my whole routine!

[@hammons01]

Your density represents the majority of us. You give essential facts on styling and products. Subscribing to your channel is my first recommendation to curly/wavies that ask me for advice. Keep it up!

[@artmadebyRed]

seeing other peoples hair parting when their hair is wet always makes me feel better about my own, cause it makes me realize that it's normal to see the scalp

[@LisaF_]

Omg this was SO HELPFUL! I cannot thank you enough for this video! I have low density hair that wants to part all the way to the back of my head and I’ve tried so many things to keep from liking like I have a weird bald area there. But I’ve not tried anything like these tips! I wasn’t going to wash my hair until tomorrow, but I’m so exited to try this, I’m washing it today!

[@LisaF_]

Reporting back… I used the first method of sectioning the crown and placing the hair backwards to cover that cowlick…and it has never looked so good. I am absolutely blown away! This is a game changer! Thank you SO MUCH, Gena. You are the BEST!!

[@cupid2098]

I’ve been struggling with volume and how to part my hair for so long!! You are a blessing 🥰

[@catherineflores7106]

This is a great video. I love that you’re doing these detailed styling videos. I love that you don’t just put out product review videos. Those are great too, but I learn so many tips from these videos that I don’t see from any other KZbinr.

[@ladyvictorian1]

I've recently had a number of bad wash days, which made me want to give up on this! I had been watching other videos that encouraged putting product on soaking wet hair while bent over, plopping then diffusing (from the bottom up rather than hover diffusing at the roots first). My roots looked truly bizarre and the curls were misshaped because the ends had dried so much faster than the roots. Not to mention a way too strong gel that was impervious to any scrunching out. Going back to your method (and my usual Ouidad VitaCurl mousse and gel), damp drying and shaping the look first before diffusing gave me the voluminous, soft curls I like without any scalp weirdness. I don't have low density hair but rather very thick, fine wavy hair that doesn't sit right without some maneuvering. Thank you for the help! ♥

[@alifallowfield106]

This was so helpful!! I have the exact same part that goes all the way back and very low density and fine hair, can’t wait to try this!

[@CJbrieflittlecandle]

This is a fantastic video I would recommend to anyone with any hair density. You are a top tier curly hair KZbinr! I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@melodythejoy]

I love the step by step demos here and all the different options! You really made me nostalgic for my late 90s zig zag parts. Might have to do that soon for old times' sake 😍

[@mel3823]

love these tutorial videos which are helping me learn how to work with my low-density curls. I've been doing everything wrong for so many years. thank you for the tutorials and all your videos. My hair is so much more healthy.

[@trini7841]

Oh my goodness! I'm having this EXACT issue right now. How funny this video has come up at this precise moment. Thanks for all the tips. 👍🏽

[@lynneeby9697]

TY x 1000. Yes more of these detailed, demonstrated tutorials please. You’re excellent & encouraging

[@barbaram8796]

Thank you for this video, your hair looks amazing and I love how you showed us step by step on how to cover the scalp and give volume, I literally struggle with this.. and your technique gave you an amazing result.. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@annem3354]

I have recently begun wearing my hair curly after many years of blowing it straight. I have to tell you how helpful and informative your videos have been. My hair is low density as well so in addition to having to cover the sparse area in the back of my head, I also deal with the side of my head where large curl clumps reveal too much of my scalp. I would love a video on how to deal with this.

[@taylorvictoria218]

This video is so helpful!!! I lost a lot of my hair recently from TE and it’s been so frustrating/defeating trying to adjust to my new hair density. Very grateful for your content 🤍

[@ScherziDoll]

i always style upside down and was a bit skeptical when i saw this thinking it couldn’t make that much of a difference but i tried it yesterday and WOW! only downside is since i air dry there is definitely a loss of volume but for me that’s not as big a deal as the amount of scalp that was showing beforehand. so thank you! 💖

[@snowflakes215]

Yes these videos are very helpful! Please keep making them. I just can't get my hair to look good but I'll keep watching and trying.

[@ughsirius]

I love how detailed and thorough your videos are!! Thank you so muchhh

[@robinkonop2813]

Thank you for addressing this! I always have problems parting my hair and this will be a huge help!

[@superfoodsmoothies]

So helpful, thank you 💕 yes I really like your detailed tutorial videos, they have helped me so much.

[@angelagarza9930]

I love these detailed videos. I don’t have the same texture of hair you do but I still implement so many of your tips on my styling.

[@crystalperez4056]

You did an amazing job showing the steps. Definitely more videos like this. :)

[@4musikable]

Very helpful for my fine curls. I have much shorter hair but many of these tips will help me to not give up. Thank you

[@hollylee9340]

This is an extremely helpful video! This answered so many questions! My fav way to style my part is usually just a side part. but after watching this, I think I will have a new favorite!

[@GenaMarie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lsvideo73]

I just finally got the aha moment about the type of brush you’re using. I need to get back to the store!

[@dawnfrye4343]

This is so perfect , I do the upside down brushing & yes my hair falls onto my face & I hate that so I always end up wearing a headband or scrunchie. I will try this today!💛😍

[@kenyap101]

Yes. This type of videos are very helpful, specially for us girls with thin hair

[@juliepopp6292]

Thank you for sharing all your styling tips! I love your hair. I would never know you had low density hair by the way it looks after styling. My hair is thick and tighter curls, but I still can apply some of your techniques. I just got my hair cut the other day and we were taking about parting and ways to hide the part so it wasn’t just a straight line back. Keep up the tutorials please! And if you happen to come across tips for thicker, tighter curls, I would love that too! 💗

[@emmamendez2586]

Thanks for these helpful tips. The more I touch and play with my hair as I'm styling, the more friz I get. The root clips help soooo much since I don't defuse.

[@BlushingUnseen]

Thank you so much for this video!! I'm so happy I found your channel and Instagram 💗

[@melissaandrews1603]

Yes!, it’s very helpful because my part is exactly like yours!

[@nekomimi6407]

This was so incredible and helpful! Thank you so much for uploading this

[@christinecorisdeopiekielni4111]

I just want to say I been trying to bring back my natural curls the last 4 years. Found your videos about a year ago and by far the most detailed. I used to have long curly/wavy thick hair but over the last 20 years with coloring and hormones it has become much thinnner and low/medium porosity with a horrible cowlick at my crown. Thank you for all your tips and your blog to help shop. My hair is again changing recently - so this is a life long process - especially as we age. Your advice has been invaluable. Thank you.

[@Rasimsa32]

Suuuuuper helpful!! I’m actually looking forward to my next wash day! Thanks 😊

[@camilalopez-ho2288]

Excellent video, I really needed this as a struggle with low density and covering my scalp.

[@marymullaney86]

Such great tips that solved my same issues ! Thank you !

[@midtownbrownstyle321]

These detailed videos are very helpful. I am dealing with having thin hair for the first time in my life and am really learning how to style it to cover the crown.

I have had curly hair for a long time and am learning how to take care of it! Thanks for your help!

[@Melissa-cy9se]

Thank you for this video! This is why I have been following you for years, we have very similar hair that is low density and 3b. A lot of curly influencers have SO much hair so I just can’t relate. My hair naturally wants to part all the way back just like yours and I really struggle with it. I can’t believe I am in my mid-30s and I didn’t know all of these tricks to hide my scalp and part my hair better. 🙂 Thank you again!

[@natitheartsywitch442]

Loved the tips! 💜

[@melaniewebster]

I think this video was really helpful! I'm watching during my own washday routine so I'm going to try a few of these things when it's time to style.

You are very thorough, and it is greatly appreciated!! I look for videos like this all the time. Thank you! Keep it up! :)

[@johnnycharles319]

Hi Kathy how are you doing?

[@bookhousegirl]

This is SO helpful, thank you! My hair is really similar to yours in terms of curl pattern and density; that "bald spot" effect that happens when your part just wants to go all the way back is the bane of my life and I've been desperately trying to hide it to no avail up until now. I can't wait to have a play with all these tips and tricks on wash day 😊.

[@florl.delgado4093]

LOVED this video. THANK YOU ❣

[@alsmith7993]

I’m pretty certain I have 2c-3a curls, but I can’t brush any part of my hair wet without it going super straight. But I often have frizzy curls because I can’t separate them properly and get clumps! I’m working on figuring this out! Thank you for another great video!

[@rkaye8900]

Same!

[@floraebrahim641]

I had the same problem too. Everytime I brushed its straight but when it’s dry I have curly hair. If you brush it with a deva curl and leave in conditioner and gel it helps. I scrunch out the gel in the morning or when my hair is done drying and I have no frizz for the first 2 days

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Have you tried forming the curls with a Denman brush on wet hair? My hair looks nicer the less I play with it once the products are in and my hair is formed. I apply a primer then a curl cream in soaking wet hair, form the curl clumps with the Denman then I just leave it alone until it’s dry. Sometimes I even go to bed before it’s all dry and it still looks nice in the morning. If I play too much with scrunching it my waves look like ramen noodles, not good.

[@alsmith7993]

@@ALT-vz3jn thanks for this!! I don’t have a Denman brush right now, but I’m hoping to get one really soon. I’ve heard good things about it.

[@ysourt]

Truly love this video , I am going to try the zigzag next❤

[@GenaMarie]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you 🥰

[@tamarapace3036]

This video is even more helpful now than it was 5 months ago! I had covid at the end of November. My hair started shedding in January. It's still shedding in March. Gina, could you maybe do a video on T.E., Telegen Effluvium? I am stumped at what to do with my poor wavy curls as I wait for the shedding to stop and regrowth to start showing. The texture and density is so different now! Very wispy, low low density. This, TE is a huge thing, affecting many people now. I considered a wig or hairpiece but was advised against, as it could potentially create permanent damage, as opposed to this 1-2 year problem. I know that many of your viewers must be silently struggling with this issue. I'm so glad that I watched this video to be educated on a type and texture of hair that I was unfamiliar with, all those months ago. It is very helpful as I am learning about my hair all over again.

Hi Gena! You literally are re-structuring my styling routine after months styling it on soaking wet hair and I never thought damp hair really works. I’m so lucky I finally found someone who does tips for low density hair after a lot of looking around and frustration. You have helped me to accept my low density since I wasn’t being very realistic with my expectations and also hated it. Are you thinking to do a styling routine with the Tangle Teezer? How has been your experience with this brush so far? Thank you for every detail you put into your videos. I really love them!

I like the detailed instructions because I have also low density, fine hair. Unfortunately in Greece I have not the variety of styling products you have Because of English is not my mother language if you don't show what to do when you explain like this video and just talking to the camera I find that it makes me tired and I cannot watch it at once. But with video like this I had not problem. On the contrary it helped me to give attention to small details which usually make the difference.

Thanks for all these tips. I usually part slightly over my right eye, off center. I do that mostly because of my very curly front pieces tend to go that way. Sometimes I’ll part it the other way day two or three. I have your curls almost exactly. The back of my head only curls toward the ends, even coiling and twisting doesn’t help.
