DM or email me GROUP if you want personalized help adjusting your technique to get consistent, defined results. We'll discuss if you're a fit for my program👇

Are you overclumping your hair with your brush?

In this clip from a group coaching call, I was helping a member troubleshoot her brush styling method, and the issue came down to section size.

📏 When you put too much hair into the brush, it smushes your curls together and creates bulky clumps that don’t define well.

🖐 But here’s the fix: I use the brush to apply tension and distribute product, then refine with my hands. Finger-coiling or separating with your hands after brushing makes a big difference, and gives you more control over the final look.

Inside my Group Curl Coaching Program, this is exactly what we do:
I help you spot the small technique mistakes that are throwing off your results, and show you how to fix them in real time.

DM or email me GROUP to get the details and see if you're a fit for the upcoming Winter program.

Curls Won’t Clump? Step-by-Step Fix for Perfect Curl Clumps

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!
