Best Curl Mousses That Actually Hold (& the Ones to Avoid)

Best Curl Mousses That Actually Hold (& the Ones to Avoid)

Smooth frizz and define curls without needing a brush with the right hand techniques.
Email me GROUP at info@genamarie.co to learn more about the Group Coaching Program where I style alongside you and guide you through it, giving you feedback on your technique.

You can create smooth curl clumps with your hands too — if you use them intentionally.

In this coaching session, we worked on using the hands almost like a brush:
• smoothing crossed-over hairs
• creating tension while raking
• shaping curl clumps manually
• then finishing with scrunching

Even if you use a brush, your hands still finish the styling. That’s what helps refine the final shape and smooth out frizz without overworking the whole head.

Email me GROUP at info@genamarie.co to learn more about the Fall Group Coaching Program. Pre-register before Aug 31.

How to Smooth Frizz Without a Brush

How to Smooth Frizz Without a Brush

Diffuser link and full product breakdown linked on this short.

If diffusing feels like it takes forever, here's what's actually slowing you down — and how to fix it fast.

Start with a microplop. Before anything else, press out excess water with a microfiber towel after your gel. If you see frizz, add a light coat of gel on top to lock in hold. Then get straight to diffusing — don't let your hair sit. Every minute it sits wet, you're adding frizz and adding time.

You also don't have to go all the way. Even five minutes of diffusing sets the curl shape with heat. That's why diffused results last longer. Diffuse to about 80 percent and let it finish on its own.

And the tool matters. If your diffuser is underpowered, it's working against you. The Curlsmith Diffusion Hair Dryer with the XXL attachment takes me about 10 minutes — and my hair lasts for days without refreshing.

Both linked on this short. Head to my channel to watch the full video on how to Stop Complicating Your Curls this Summer.
