Full video is on my channel + diffuser linked on this Short. I styled both sides of my hair with the exact same products and same routine — the only thing I changed was my diffusing technique 👀 The result? One side has better root lift, curl definition, and hold... The other? Frizzier, flatter, and way less shape. ✨ If your curls aren’t turning out the way you want after diffusing, this might be why. In my new video, I walk you through the most common diffusing mistakes I see — and how to fix them — with a real-time split test so you can actually see the difference. #curlyhairroutine #diffusingcurls #curlyhairdiffuser #curlcoach #curlyhairtips New videos every Sunday, so please subscribe so you don't miss a new video! https://www.youtube.com/genamarie?sub_confirmation=1 💌 Subscribe to my blog via email and receive a Free Wash Day Calendar & Guide! https://genamarie.ck.page/d45316eaa1 Emails are sent 1x per week and include a copy of my latest blog post. 📆 CURL COACHING MEMBERSHIP: https://genamarie.co/curl-coaching/ 📝 HAIR TYPE QUIZ: https://genamarie.co/hair-type-quiz/ 📥 DIGITAL RESOURCES: https://genamarie.co/digital-resources/ 🗓 CURLY HAIR TRACKER & PLANNER: https://genamarie.co/product/curly-hair-tracker-planner/ ➜FOLLOW • BLOG: http://www.genamarie.co • EMAIL (business inquiries): info@genamarie.co • INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/GenaMarie.co • THREADS: https://www.threads.net/@genamarie.co • FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/GenaMarie.co • PINTEREST: http://www.pinterest.com/GenaMarieCo ➜HAIR TYPE • 3A-3B curls • High porosity • Medium to coarse texture • Low density ➜SHOP MY PRODUCTS: http://genamarie.co/shop/ https://www.amazon.com/shop/genam ➜MY DISCOUNT CODES ★STRANDPRINT 10% off with code GENA10: https://www.strandprint.com/ ★UMBERTO GIANNINI 20% off with code GENAMARIECO: https://us.umbertogiannini.com/GENAMARIECO ★MOP TOP 20% off with code GENA20: https://moptophair.com/gena20 ★TOOTILAB 15% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.tootilab.com/GENAMARIE ★ INNERSENSE 15% off first order with code GENA15: https://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1024874&u=3789261&m=72573 ★ OUIDAD 25% off with code GENAMARIE: https://bit.ly/GMOuidad ★ AG HAIR 20% off with code GENA20: https://agcare.sjv.io/eKgoyZ ★ BOUCLÈME 15% off with code GENA15: https://boucleme.us/GENA15 ★ TRÉLUXE 15% off through link: https://discovertreluxe.com/?ref=36 ★ BOUNCE CURL 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://glnk.io/x26q/genamarieco ★ JESSICURL 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=680741&m=137946&b=2278196 ★ MINHA BEAUTY 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.minhabeauty.com/?ref=GENAMARIE ★ CURLFRIEND COLLECTIVE 10% off through link: https://bit.ly/CurlfriendCollective ★ KITSCH 15% off with code GENA15: https://bit.ly/KitschGena15 ★ HOT HEAD THERMAL HAIRCARE 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://bit.ly/ThermalHaircareGM ★ CURLS MONTHLY $5 off: https://curlsmonthly.com/?ref=GENAMARIE ★ DIME BEAUTY SKINCARE 20% off with code GenaM20: https://bit.ly/DimeBeautyGM FTC DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored video.

The Power of Diffusing Techniques 😱
Is extra effort worth it?! Not needing to refresh is pretty nice. Full video is in my channel! I did a quick & easy routine to compare to my usual routine and this was what I found: 🌀 QUICK ROUTINE 🌀 No sections Raked gel in, tried to apply a thoroughly as I could without sectioning Styled a few problem areas quickly with brush styling, finger coling, and praying hands Microplopped + extra glaze of gel Diffused & scrunched out the crunch → Results from Quick Routine: More frizz within and on top More elongated or wonky pieces Required more refreshing 🌀 FULL/THOROUGH ROUTINE 🌀 Sectioned Raked gel in sections from root to tip Styled each section briefly with either brush styling, finger coling, or praying hands Microplopped + extra glaze of gel Diffused & scrunched out the crunch → Results from Full/Thorough Routine: Not much frizz More definition More curl retention Did not require refreshing Only you can decide if putting in more time and effort on wash day is truly worth it. Try both routines and see how they affect your waves or curls. Then come back and tell me - which one worked better for you? 💬 Products linked on the full video where I do a complete quick & easy (beginner friendly) curly routine and share my results, including on day 2. #curlstyling #curlyhair #wavyhair #curlyhairtips #washdayroutine #curlyroutine New videos every Sunday, so please subscribe so you don't miss a new video! https://www.youtube.com/genamarie?sub_confirmation=1 💌 Subscribe to my blog via email and receive a Free Wash Day Calendar & Guide! https://genamarie.ck.page/d45316eaa1 Emails are sent 1x per week and include a copy of my latest blog post. 📆 CURL COACHING MEMBERSHIP: https://genamarie.co/curl-coaching/ 📝 HAIR TYPE QUIZ: https://genamarie.co/hair-type-quiz/ 📥 DIGITAL RESOURCES: https://genamarie.co/digital-resources/ 🗓 CURLY HAIR TRACKER & PLANNER: https://genamarie.co/product/curly-hair-tracker-planner/ ➜FOLLOW • BLOG: http://www.genamarie.co • EMAIL (business inquiries): info@genamarie.co • INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/GenaMarie.co • THREADS: https://www.threads.net/@genamarie.co • FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/GenaMarie.co • PINTEREST: http://www.pinterest.com/GenaMarieCo ➜HAIR TYPE • 3A-3B curls • High porosity • Medium to coarse texture • Low density ➜SHOP MY PRODUCTS: http://genamarie.co/shop/ https://www.amazon.com/shop/genam ➜MY DISCOUNT CODES ★STRANDPRINT 10% off with code GENA10: https://www.strandprint.com/ ★UMBERTO GIANNINI 20% off with code GENAMARIECO: https://us.umbertogiannini.com/GENAMARIECO ★MOP TOP 20% off with code GENA20: https://moptophair.com/gena20 ★TOOTILAB 15% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.tootilab.com/GENAMARIE ★ INNERSENSE 15% off first order with code GENA15: https://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1024874&u=3789261&m=72573 ★ OUIDAD 25% off with code GENAMARIE: https://bit.ly/GMOuidad ★ AG HAIR 20% off with code GENA20: https://agcare.sjv.io/eKgoyZ ★ BOUCLÈME 15% off with code GENA15: https://boucleme.us/GENA15 ★ TRÉLUXE 15% off through link: https://discovertreluxe.com/?ref=36 ★ BOUNCE CURL 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://glnk.io/x26q/genamarieco ★ JESSICURL 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=680741&m=137946&b=2278196 ★ MINHA BEAUTY 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.minhabeauty.com/?ref=GENAMARIE ★ CURLFRIEND COLLECTIVE 10% off through link: https://bit.ly/CurlfriendCollective ★ KITSCH 15% off with code GENA15: https://bit.ly/KitschGena15 ★ HOT HEAD THERMAL HAIRCARE 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://bit.ly/ThermalHaircareGM ★ CURLS MONTHLY $5 off: https://curlsmonthly.com/?ref=GENAMARIE ★ DIME BEAUTY SKINCARE 20% off with code GenaM20: https://bit.ly/DimeBeautyGM FTC DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored video.
