If you’re not getting lasting hold, it’s probably your gel application!

Gaia, founder of @tootilab, joined my Group Curl Coaching Call as a guest expert and we discovered we use the exact same method for maximizing hold 😆👇

💧 Use less leave-in or cream before gel (or skip it altogether) — too much softens curls and weakens hold.
🪮 Apply gel thoroughly in small sections for even coverage and stronger definition.
🌬️ Keep your hair still until it’s set — that’s how you lock in your cast.

It was such a fun conversation about product formulation, refreshing, and how small technique tweaks can completely change your results.

🌀 Email me (info@genamarie.co) the word “GROUP” if you’d love to join future guest expert sessions inside the Curl Coaching Membership.
🌀 Be sure to check out @tootilab science-backed curl care and high-quality products!

Maximizing Hold & Frizz Control ft. @tootilab

Watch the full video on my channel if you're struggling with your curls not lasting to see answers to some common curly hair questions.

🌟Prioritize scalp health🌟

-Use medicated shampoo, if needed.
-Use a good conditioner, avoiding the scalp as much as possible.

-When applying stylers, avoid the roots.
-Don’t style in the shower or upside down.
-Style upright for more control over where the product goes because you can see.

-Don’t style soaking wet - this often lets product seep onto the scalp.
-Avoid plopping because it presses products onto the scalp; microplop instead.
