Best Leave-In Heat Protectants Soft vs. Rough Curls

What do you actually say when your stylist asks what you want?

Most curly and wavy clients know what they don't want but don't have the language to ask for what they do.
Guest expert @SwavyCurlyCourtney joined one of my group curl coaching calls and shared three phrases you can say to change that.

Soft rounded U-shape in the back.
Light face framing.
Convex layers in the back.

Those words translate directly into a cut that is easier to wash, style, and maintain between appointments. The face framing alone can give the illusion of layers even if you don't have much hair to work with.

Knowing the language is half the battle.

If you want personalized curl coaching beyond the cut, email info@genamarie.co the word GROUP for details on the virtual group curl coaching membership.

Check out @SwavyCurlyCourtney for wavy curly help and visit her salon in Texas!

Buzzwords that Get You a Better Curly Haircut

Frizzy ends? You could be overlooking this simple step...

Email me the word GROUP at info@genamarie.co to learn more about the Group Coaching Program, where you learn the skills that give you more control over your curls so they're not running your life.

One of the most common things I see when watching clients style is not following all the way through when they're raking in gel.

When you rake in your gel, your hands should go from root to end, letting the hair fall out of your hands as you apply.

If you stop short or rush:
• your ends don’t get coated
• they won’t form a proper cast
• and they’re more likely to look frizzy or stringy

This happens easily, especially with longer hair where it takes more intention to fully coat everything.

The fix is simple. Slow down and make sure your gel actually reaches the ends.

Email me the word GROUP at info@genamarie.co to learn more about the Group Coaching Program.
