Stretched-Out Curls? It’s NORMAL! ✨
If your curls or waves have gone limp, loosened, or look frizzy, don’t stress—it’s completely normal for them to stretch out over time! Embracing looser curls & waves between wash days is a must—but if you want to bring some bounce back, here’s how:

🔹 Lightly mist with water (don’t soak the roots!)
🔹 Dilute gel with water for a lightweight refresh of your hold
🔹 Use praying hands to smooth frizz without weighing hair down
🔹 Finger coil problem areas for extra definition
🔹 Diffuse instead of air drying to set your pattern back in place

💡 Your curls don’t have to be perfect every day—natural variation is part of the process!
But these quick fixes can help if you need a little extra shape and hold.

Full tutorial & get product links is linked in the related video.

Style with Me in Real-Time for VOLUME! + Q&A

Flat/straight roots or scalp showing? 💬 Email me "GROUP" (info@genamarie.co) before March 31 for more info about my group coaching membership where I help you master your diffusing routine.

If your curls tend to stick to your scalp, leaving visible section lines or flatness at the roots, here’s how to fix it:
✨ Step 1: Apply products and style.
✨ Step 2: Lightly mist your roots before your hair starts setting. Wet your hands (a small but crucial step!).
✨ Step 3: Reach underneath and gently shake out the section lines. Yes, this may create a little frizz, but you can smooth it down after!
✨ Step 4: Before scrunching, lift your hair away from the scalp, then scrunch all the way up for max root curl. Bonus tip: Try pinching at the roots for even more lift!

❌ Avoid raking your products straight down unless you want flat roots! Even if you skip brush styling, make sure you lift before scrunching for that light, voluminous look.

📍 Want more styling hacks like this? I share personalized styling advice for my clients in the group membership.

💬 Email me "GROUP" to info@genamarie.co to get all the details on my group coaching membership! Enrollment closes March 31.
