Full video is on my channel. Struggling to get maximum volume? See if using a foam makes a difference in this comparison! RESULTS WITH FOAM + GEL *Less hold *More fullness/frizz *More frizz on day 2 RESULTS WITH GEL ALONE *More hold *More definition *Less frizz on day 2 Additional Insights: -Foam was conditioning which gave extra slip and moisture, which is probably why I didn’t have much of a cast with the foam routine. -With the foam, my hair felt soft and not texturized - you need texture/grit to create the best volume -This foam could be beneficial for people whose hair needs conditioning but gets weighed down by creams. The video where I do a side-by-side test and share my results, including on day 2, is up on my channel. #3acurls #2ccurls #curlyproblems #curlstyling #curlyhair #wavyhair #curlyvolume 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.
