Did the Curly Girl Method actually work for you… or did it leave you confused and frustrated?

If CGM didn’t give you lasting results, it’s not because you did it wrong.

Most people followed the rules exactly…
but some of those rules work against each other.

You’re told to:
• wash less and use very gentle shampoos
• load up on moisture

When you combine those two things, hair often becomes over-conditioned.
It takes forever to dry.
It won’t hold.
It doesn’t last.

Then people are told to stretch wash days even longer…
and that’s usually when the burnout happens.

As a Curl Coach, I see this pattern all the time.
People didn’t fail the method — no one explained the tradeoffs.

There is a better way.
Clean hair, the right level of conditioning, and enough hold so curls actually last.

That’s exactly what I teach in my Strong Hold Method - understanding how washing, conditioning, and hold work together so curls feel simpler, not stressful.

Contradictory Curly Hair Advice (And What Actually Works)

If you're not getting hold or curls aren't lasting, your moisture + hold balance is likely off 👇

Email me “GROUP” at info@genamarie.co if you want help building a routine that actually balances moisture and hold, and we can chat to see if my Group Coaching Program is right for you! 💛

Your wash day routine isn’t random.
Each step should build on the one before it.

Think of it like a visual:
Shampoo + conditioner = your base conditioning
Leave-ins, creams, foams = where moisture builds
Gels + sprays = where hold should peak

The closer you get to the end of your routine, the more hold your products should have. That’s what locks everything in.

What usually causes problems is when:
conditioning stays high all the way through
hold never truly takes over
curls soften too much and don’t last

Balance doesn’t mean less moisture.
It means front-loading conditioning and finishing with hold.

When your routine is built in the right order, everything suddenly makes more sense.

Email me “GROUP” at info@genamarie.co if you want guidance building a wash day routine that’s balanced, simple, and actually works for your hair, and we can chat to see if my Group Coaching Program is right for you! 🤍
