Have you experienced wet frizz? If you need a list of all the steps, check out the blog post here where I've summarized everything for you: genamarie.co/2022/10/how-to-tame-wet-frizz-updated-2022/
Hi I have a question does wet frizzy also involve having frizzy hair after the hair has dried?And my curls aren't full of volume like you're ones, does that mean I have a different type or my hear isn't,,itself" because I have frizzy hair and the curls don't last long
The fact that you attributed coarser hair to the wet frizz makes so much sense. I have been struggling, but all the people I see without wet frizz have super fine hair. I have been contemplating trying brush styling, and I think this has convinced me that I need to.
Yes, my coarse areas never want lay smoothly because they often have kinks in them (small bends where the hair shaft turns) which often causes tangles. Brush styling is the only thing that has been able to smooth them.
Yeah I agree with a lot of her hair methods bc my hair is also fairly malleable however that means it’s also suuuper prone to frizz. Brush styling has gotten me the best definition even when air drying. The thing that sucks is it’s kinda time consuming and gets confusing finding the curl/wave direction 😂 but practice make better! I found that I’ll try to define areas I know are wavier bc I wanna make the most out of them, and then I’ll also define the face framing waves otherwise those can look wonky.
Don't mean to spoil the party ...I have very fine and thin hair and suffer the fate of wet frizz, too.. super wet hair and brushing makes a big difference along with the right products for me. Even though my hair is fine, all the lightweight products that are often recommended for fine hair make frizz worse in my experience.
I think the most important reason is porosity. you have low porosity. this can happen. You must completely soak your head in warm water under the shower until it all aborbs (which can be minutes) before washing so it shampoo can penetrate properly to remove build up. And also use heat during the deep conditioning and leave in stage with something like a heat cap from Amazon
I cannot thank you enough!!!!! This routine totally works and so do the products. I just moved to the UK and the water in my area is really hard. I had so much hairfall within a month to the point where I was depressed over it. I felt like I have nothing to lose so I decided to purchase every single product you listed and do this routine. LO AND BEHOLD my hairfall has reduced by 50% in just 2 washes. Thanks a tonne. I really appreciate your curly girl content in general and this video in particular!
this is my third week trying this, when i style my hair w a brush after gel, my hair lost a bit of volume :( anyway it’s really important that you follow most of the steps, this has been really helpful and i’m glad i found this video. i think it’s also important having a good hairdryer cause mine doesn’t have many speeds and even the lowest speed feels like it’s a lot so it makes my hair frizzy. aside from that i also agree that it won’t make your frizz disappear but it’s a lot less than usual and that makes me happy! thank you so much
i followed everything in this video exactly, minus the brush styling because i found it straightened out my 2a hair. this changed the game for me. i had so much frizz before but this time sooooo much less. thank you
This is very interesting. I find because my hair has such low porosity and is very dense that styling outside the shower is difficult, I also style with leave in conditioner and gel instead of curl cream and gel. Very cool
Ty bunches for the tips. My hair used to be so eaay when I was younge. I could just wash, condition rhen druve to work wuth my windows down and boom it was perfect 😁 Now that I'm 54 I really need some better products and tips to help with my curls! So happy I found this video!!! 🤗🤗🤗
We have such similar hair! I know you have mentioned before you struggle with thinning ends when your hair is growing. Have you tried diffusing with cool air instead? I had pretty bad heat damaged and got it all cut off. I then made sure I used a high quality heat protectant and low heat while diffusing. Due to my hair already not being super thick I noticed even the low heat was causing weird shaped curls (I called them box curls) and C shaped curls at my ends. My ends also thinned out as it grew despite staying on top of my deep conditioning and bonding treatments. I then decided to stop all heat (yes this makes dry time so much longer but health>fast dry time) and noticed a MAJOR difference over time. I came to the conclusion that some hair textures just can’t tolerate heat, maybe once in a while but def not every wash day. I also usually wash once a week. Best decision I ever made for the health of my hair! I have no more box curls or c shaped curls and my ends are MUCH thicker then before despite the growth.
For faster drying, use a cotton tshirt, no need for heat anymore. Worked so much better for me. Also trimming it helps dry time. I had to cut most of my hair significantly due to extreme heat damage and tangling but after that my porosity increased to medium from low.
I'd love to see a video of you trying the no scrunch method! it has to be so hard not scrunching I had seen a video doing this method maybe a year and a half or two years ago, and it was giving me so much anxiety watching them not scrunch their hair lol.
HI Gena can you do some videos on products specifically targeted at certain ingredients eg aloe free products, products without protein, products with a lot of protein etc etc etc. I think I'm having some issues with too much protein and my hair seems to hate aloe - it causes flash drying on my hair. Although I've watched most of your videos these products tend to be all mixed in with other things, whereas a protein free routine or a moisturising routine without aloe would be really useful. I have a hard time finding products for my hair issues, that don't make my eczema prone scalp go crazy with all the fragrance so many curly hair products are loaded with. Whilst I'm grateful that brands have started to make some products without a ton of fragrance, often they're too lightweight for my super dry/course textured menopausal hair. It's like trying to find a unicorn lol. Here in the UK we can't return opened products, so it's causing a load of products sitting there I can't use as they're really not working for me. I do buy trial/travel sizes where possible of new to me products, but not all brands offer these. Many thanks and best wishes.
Interesting video! Now that I'm older with a perm, I'm trying out different curl methods. When I was younger, I didn't know as much info for perms. Some of your methods, I will definitely try!
I tried for a month to do the curly hair routine and I just can’t get over the fact that my hair is just so flat and doesn’t have that big volume. I have given up after a month but What I do is Velcro rollers and let my hair dry. I get a full body and I’m happy with it.
The first time I used the Olaplex 9 my responded so well ! I raved about it ! The CurlSmith products are just fantastic . This is a really great video. Thanks 🙏 I was wondering if you have a tutorial on the way you brush style? You look like such a pro.
Great video! That’s amazing how defined your hair is! This is a good method for when you have a special occasion. Most of the time I prefer a little frizz bc it gives me volume and has that summery bohemian look, but unfortunately, many people look at curly hair as “unkempt.” I really want to try the Olaplex No. 9. Is it very strong? I have used the eVolvh serum and I have to say,it really smooths out my hair, but it’s very strong. My hair is fine textured, but I have a lot of it. If I then use a styling crème and gel, it’s too much. My hair has no curl, only waves.
Thank you! May I ask what you mean by strong? If you're referring to scent, I don't find it to be too strong, however I'm not often bothered by scents unless it's very strong.
Hello I wanted to first thank you for the video me and daughter have all the wet frizz issues and we will start using your tips 🙏🏼 I want to ask you at what temperature do you use the diffuser ? I don’t have any idea what’s the ideal temperature to use ? I appreciate your feedback thank you
I love your videos but there are too many products. Would love if you could do a simple hair video for curly hair. Also, hairstyle cuts would be great. I have a difficult time knowing how I should have my haircut.
Hey totally understand. that’s why in the video I mentioned drugstore alternatives for every product and listed which ones are optional and not essential if you wanted to cut down on the number of products while still following this routine 💗
Hi Gena🙂 Do u use olaplex 9 every 48 hours or just in wash days ? I have wavy, thick, fine hair and I'm afraid it would weight down my hair Thank you so much from Israel Love your Channel 💓😘
thank you so much for this! 2b-c here. i have a question, i'm currently using what people call a hard hold gel(giovannia la looks) but i find that my waves still disappear an hour after diffusing. is this just what happens during transition phase or is the gel too weak of a hold? i'm only a month and a half in. also i'd love to see a scrunch free routine! i find that my hair gets frizzy when i scrunch so i'm looking for techniques to get a wave without it.
Please help me!! I went to a new hairdresser and she said that they only do dry cuts. She said after I’m washed and blowdried, they blast my hair straight. Apparently it gives a more accurate cut. Little did I know she was going to flat iron the hell out of my hair. The amount of smoke/steam coming from my hair almost made me cry. It’s been over a week and I still can’t get a curl into it. All my beautiful curls are gone. I tried two olaplex treatments over the weekend and it’s a bit wavier now but all my ringlets are done. How can I get them back???
@@GenaMarie My individual strands are somewhat fine but the entirety of my hair is incredibly thick. It already feels super weighted down naturally and even more so when I use products. Even one product feels like too much.

@@jennierandomz thank you for this. I do have very low porosity. I will have to try this.
So nice to find a video that doesn't involve washing curly/wavy hair upside down!
Your videos have taught me so much about curly hair
I'm so glad! 🥹

I've tried paper towels, don't know why but they really reduce frizz on my hair!!
Yes, please try the no scrunch method.
you're like my favorite curly hair youtuber , helped me so much with my curly hair journyy
This is very interesting. I find because my hair has such low porosity and is very dense that styling outside the shower is difficult, I also style with leave in conditioner and gel instead of curl cream and gel. Very cool
I recommend Aussie 3 min miracle conditioner for frizzy hair….it works great
These tips worked phenomenally for my hair!

Yes, that's a great idea! I recently did a glycerin and coconut-free routine with Boucleme's new range that's up on my channel! I'll plan some more

Make sure your claiming regular and use legit weight products. If you low porosity use heat during they leave in and feel condition stage

Hi Gena Marie, thank you for going step by step, showing the products and techniques! What brush are you using in this video?
The Tangle Teezer! its linked in the description box 😊
Thank you!
I will try this next wash day 😅
I have so much wet frizz I can’t even 😣🥺➰
Hi Gena🙂
Do u use olaplex 9 every 48 hours or just in wash days ?
I have wavy, thick, fine hair and I'm afraid it would weight down my hair
Thank you so much from Israel
Love your Channel 💓😘
Just on wash day! It’s a very lightweight, watery serum
How to avoid wet look and forever not drying products. Its been 12 hours still dap! 😪
How can i convince my mom that i have curly cuz she thinks that all types of hair should be treated the same way and she don't let me define my curls
thank you so much for this! 2b-c here. i have a question, i'm currently using what people call a hard hold gel(giovannia la looks) but i find that my waves still disappear an hour after diffusing. is this just what happens during transition phase or is the gel too weak of a hold? i'm only a month and a half in.
also i'd love to see a scrunch free routine! i find that my hair gets frizzy when i scrunch so i'm looking for techniques to get a wave without it.
With waves, brush styling would be your best bet without scrunching.
Please help me!! I went to a new hairdresser and she said that they only do dry cuts. She said after I’m washed and blowdried, they blast my hair straight. Apparently it gives a more accurate cut.
Little did I know she was going to flat iron the hell out of my hair. The amount of smoke/steam coming from my hair almost made me cry.
It’s been over a week and I still can’t get a curl into it. All my beautiful curls are gone. I tried two olaplex treatments over the weekend and it’s a bit wavier now but all my ringlets are done.
How can I get them back???
Find a new stylist ASAP! A good stylist doesn't need to flat iron ANY hair in order to cut it!!
Let me just say THANK YOU! This is THE channel I have been longing 🥹🫶🏼 haven’t found anyone else nearly as relatable
How come when I condition my hair It feels really soft but it frizzes up a lot
What do you think about Aveda products?
They’re ok! I tried the new curl line and got a ton of volume but didn’t have enough hold unfortunately
✅ good video
Actually the idea was originally from the Titi, que Dios la tenga en su gloria. O de la matriarca de la locura, Mrs. Deodorant.
I absolutely CANNOT run my fingers or hands through my hair my hair feels like a goddamn tumbleweed when it’s wet
I would be dead by the time I did all this 4 real 😫
I wonder what our ancestors did with their curly hair. They only had natural products and no deffuser
If I put that many products in my hair it will be heavy, limp, and oily.
If your hair is fine and gets weighed down, you can use just a gel. Or just a leave in and a gel versus a curl cream
@@GenaMarie My individual strands are somewhat fine but the entirety of my hair is incredibly thick. It already feels super weighted down naturally and even more so when I use products. Even one product feels like too much.
I think the most important reason for wet frizz is porosity. you have low porosity. this can happen. You must completely soak your head in warm water under the shower until it all aborbs (which can be minutes) before washing so it shampoo can penetrate properly to remove build up. And also use heat during the deep conditioning and leave in stage with something like a heat cap from Amazon .
Also light weight leave ins so it's easier to penetrate the hair
