If your curls look frizzy or stringy while they’re still wet, you’re probably skipping a few steps that nobody talks about. Here’s exactly how I apply my products using my rake, lift, define method, plus the mistakes I see most often at each step.

Is Your Gel Actually Doing Its Job?

Is Your Gel Actually Doing Its Job?

Always start diffusing with your most problematic area first.👇🏼 Email me the word GROUP at info@genamarie.co to learn more about my virtual curl coaching program where we style together and I give you feedback.

Whatever problem areas or uneven curls you have, address them while the hair is still wet. Once it dries, it sets.

Start with your ends, not your roots. Work through all three sections: both sides and the back. Lean far enough to the side that you can actually see the back section and control how the hair is being placed in the diffuser.

Root lift comes later, once the hair is already starting to dry. Trying to get everything at once usually means stretching sections that should be kept separate.

Ends first. Roots after. See what you're doing the whole time.

👉🏼 The diffuser I use is linked on this short.
