Making my 4c hair manageable and curly with the Gina Curl!

[@doubledee1226able]

I love how every other race of women can change their hair with no problems but as soon as a black woman wants to here comes the fake concerned trolls talking about how upset this makes them. No one cares. It’s her hair and she’s happy with it

[@bluereign]

can't speak for other comments but my concern is the fact that carcinogenic chemicals are used in the products they develop to manipulate our hair structure and they have been proven to be toxic and linked to server health issues. Investigations have been done and confirmed this but the beauty industry run by white ppl and distributed by the Asian community care about profit not the health of black women. Also these chemicals were made so afro hair would look and act more like European hair we all know this. Do not ignore the fact.

[@ninavictoria6805]

@@bluereign You are so right about many things. But 3C hair is not typically found on Europeans for one. And we as black women have got to stop putting roses on white women. Most black women in fact want an EXOTIC look. Not Marsha Brady. We typically want INDIAN hair. Mainly curly or wavy. THICK and luxurious which White women do not typically have.

[@kianathomas8797]

@@adwoamk8918 I need y’all to get rid of this stigma about black salons! The ones that I have gone to treated my hair right and did a great job. I know there needs to be more of a supply of black salons that do natural hair but we also need to start researching on our own and learning how to take care of our own textures. I think it has more so to do with certain black women wanting a different hair texture besides the kinky curly one they got bc of societal standards of beauty. In the video she stated that she didn’t know what to do with her hair anymore. Natural hair is a task but I don’t see how getting a looser texture will make her hair process even more easier! If she takes the time out to learn her hair she will find out what works for her but there are to many stigmas on “the time” it takes to do type 4 hair, when really it ain’t even all that much time.

[@anndeecosita3586]

Jheri curl is a brand name. These are curly perms. I’ve had various kinds of curly perms and there are differences. For example with some I was able to wear my hair straight for short periods of time and others my hair had to be kept curly with activator. After watching videos it looks like Gina Curl (which isn’t new) is a one time processing where most curly perms for black people are double process. It also has to be washed twice a week and can be straightened with a rollerset. That was not the case with the Jheri Curl and some other curly perms where you need a product like Snap Back to revive the curls after shampoo. I also saw a video where the Gina Curl can be done without the perm rods to give a straight outcome. I didn’t get retouches but like every 5 months when I had a curly perm. I don’t intend on ever using chemicals again but but I would go back to curly perms before I would get a relaxer again. Both smell horrible 😂

After being in the industry 15yrs, a couple of things need to be considered and discussed. 1. Yes, you can spend your money anyway you choose. So, I will never tell anyone how to spend the money they worked for. It is your choice, but keep that same energy if anything goes wrong. 2. You can no longer claim to be natural once chemicals have been introduced into the hair. Anything the changes the bonds of the hair is considered a chemical, so you are no longer a natural. 3. You have to pick a struggle! You go natural but don't want to deal with natural hair issues. You put chemicals in it, and then you say you should have stayed natural because the chemicals broke your hair off. Just make a choice and stick with it, this is why we have so many issues with our hair in our community, because we do too much! We want to try everything that comes out and complain about it later. 4. No matter what it is, DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! ask yourself will I want color later? How long will I have to continue getting this system? Is it a complete system where I have products that support my results? How does it work with medications you may be on? Etc... 5. Test the knowledge of the professional no matter the service and precept their response to make sure you will be satisfied with what your paying for. The gift of gab is real!!! A duck will do what it was formed to do and so will a theif and liar. You can not take methods that where already being practiced and merge them together and say, "Look guys I have created something totally new that has never been seen before and now watch the magic" a colonizer will be and do what they were formed to do! 6. Tell a person once, then tell them again. After that, let them be. There will be some who listen and some who don't. Put the info out there and keep it moving. There is no reason to get upset or argue over others decisions. I wish you all the Best on your hair journey, Love yourself and your hair because noone else will!!!

Then with your hair sectioned, spray with water then add your curl custard or curl cream then add xtreme wetline gel to your hair and then oil to seal it.

THE GOSPEL: We are all sinners deserving of God's wrath and it is impossible for us to save ourselves. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose again the third day according to the scriptures. He died for ALL your sins, past, present, future. Put your faith in Him as your Savior and you are saved and going to heaven forever. Only faith alone in Christ alone will save you, ZERO human effort or works. Once saved, always saved. Do you believe the gospel? Yes. No.

This look can be easily achieved on relaxed, texturized or natural hair with mousse, foam wrap or old school lotta body and a few different size perm rods. I used to roller set my hair 2-3 times a week and let it air dry. Same look-different price!! If you can't roller set your own hair, I'm sure if you have a daughter/auntie/neighbor they can!! Now, this lady is drop dead gorgeous and can probably rock any hairstyle. I'm shocked that after a failed Wave Nouveau that she was brave enough to go the chemical route again.
