She doesnât understand whatâs truly happening to her hair n whatâs to come. Gina curl canât be undone. time will tell Gina curl isnât good itâs damaging but to each itâs own
Hi Loren, Iâm so excited to see your Gina Curl update! Iâve been very curious to see what hair looks like with bigger curls at this length and it is beautiful đ„°. I, myself, chose pink and blue rods for my first Gina Curl and really love the lookđ„°. However, when I go in for my very first retouch next month, Iâm going to get the pink rods for a looser elongation and can hardly wait. đ„°
Stumbled on your videos while researching Gina Curl. First off- LOVE you in EVERYTHING I see you in! You are talented and beautiful! Thank you for the hair updates- you got me thinking about making a change just for the manageability aspect.
This is beautiful! As far as dryness while in protective styles; oil isnât a moisturizer, itâs a sealer. So moisturize with paraben free products and add oil after itâs juicy and moisturized. Moisturize while your hair is still good and wet. Low porosity hair moisturizes better while wet. After itâs moisturized add your oil. It helps a lot! Also donât wash your hair while in cornrows because then you canât treat it after washing the product out. So itâs makes it so much harder to properly care for when it comes down. Just some tips Iâve learned along the way.
What are moisturizers whatâs the difference and what goes first second and third?
I've found aloe and water to be the best moisturizer.
Best hair moisturizers ?
I appreciate what you said about people saying black women hate themselves. Like no I know I'm fearfully and wonderfully made bless the Lord for that. And it's disrespectful coming at Gina like that, I love how you stood up for her. People especially black People come for white hairstylist for not knowing how to do black hair and then again when they know how to do it they still come for them. Leave people alone. Love them and if you can't love them be quiet and mind your business. I stand with you sis.
Exactly my love because doing black even for us isn't easy so ppl need to get off of that . Proud of you Loren and Love you doll!đ„°đ
The skydaddy in your imaginary world didnât make you. Your parents did lmfao
you are beautiful! I watched the video you made when you first got it and now watching this, and your hair is noticeably much thinner. Your hair is so beautiful, just hope the Gina Curl is not damaging it.
This is how my 3b 3c hair looks when it's damaged from heat. It's looks thin and see through
You said that Gina has learned black hair. Do you have a video of Gina styling natural 4c hair without chemicals. I mean even after doing the Gina curl she still doesn't style it đ€·đŸââïž
@@jasmineogunyemi2658 honestly this is just how it falls after months of braids and corn rows and manipulation FOR ME. And remember I said my hair gets thin from that without a Gina curl. Some people maintain a lot better through the months than I do. But when I get it done it snaps right back and looks healthy again with fresh curls. Iâll share when itâs fresh again. And she definitely has videos styling natural hair, but her page is dedicated to the Gina curl and straight variation so youâre probably not gonna see much other than that on there.
You might be right I just came from her tiktok and the difference is definitely noticeable
Exactly
Hey Loren ! You can put a heavy cream based leave in conditioner and water in a spray bottle and does your hair should in braids to keep it moisturized! I recommend waiting until after the first time you wash your braids bc the combo or gel/products in your braids and leave in and easier will make it VERY musty smelling. Good luck girlđ
Wow!!!! No girl go back and look at your own video when you first got this done. Your hair is definitely damaged.
This is just how it falls for me though after likeâŠthe 7th month. Especially after cornrows for weeks and wigs and filming. When I get it done again it snaps right back which Iâll share, and then I do the months all over again which is why itâs important for me to get it done EVERY 6 months.
Did this, it makes my hair so tangled no matter how much I comb it. Can't wait for it to grow out. Maybe not at this length, but when you reach 15+ inches.
I Love it. My arms were arching last night after a wash and then putting it into 2 braids (cause I'm at camp). But yeah 4c hair requires a lot of strength and time. But I also love my texture so much I don't think I'm ready to get a curly perm though it's something I have been considering.
I love it! When Mr hair grow out more I am definitely going to get one
She is so BEAUTIFUL đ
Have you noticed your hair thinning over time? i want to get a gina curl but thinning hair is my biggest concern. when i had regular perms my hair got thinner over time
Loren, my 4c Sister gal, I dunno what happened to my previous comment, but umm.. girlfriend go try Nia LOC GOD hydration mist. It has worked wonders on my 4C hair while in cornrows and braids. That thinning is no joke and made me highly anxious when taking my cornrows out, but NOT ANYMORE!. I've tried everything as well, but this one right here, honestly works. This product is WORTH A SHOT GIRL! My hair lives under wigs, weaves and braids and now, it is THRIVINGGGG hunny!! Let us know if you tried it on your next update đ.
Thanks for the update!! Your hair looks great
Sorry but now it looks over processed now .. it did look great when you first got it but the chemicals have made your texture too straight . maybe will be better if you put some curl rods in
Like I mentioned in the video, when Iâm shooting itâs harder for me to give it the attention it needs. Especially when itâs braided for months under a wig. When I check out other girls they donât have this same issue. Luckily When I go to Gina she works her magic and it comes right back! But umm⊠thanx I guess
I think that is one of the cons of the Ginacurl- the curls do drop overtime but with retouches they get refreshed- not sure how without reprocessing but they donât overlap. And youâre not supposed to do any protective styles like braids, weaves, wigs where you donât have access to you hair. Itâs meant to be washed and combed at least once a week. So you have to want the look of the GC not go back to covering your hair up. Besides when you drop almost $1k on a style you should show it off! I understand for Loren itâs work commitment making her stay in cornrows
Yeah it looks very over processed. It doesnât read as wavy or curly..just see through and frizzy. This issue plus the new growth js why the gina curl is a no go
When your hair is cornbraided, you have to "water" it every day. Get a spray bottle, put your favorite leavein's inside, and add a bit of your oil to the mix, shake it up until its 1 texture. (It helps to add marbles to help the mixing), then fill it with water. Shake it up, then spray your hair..đ
Ooh I love that marble tip!
i looooooovveeee the look i feel like my hair would look exactly like yours with a gina curl, def debating. but u should wear clip ins to get the fullness so u dont have to cut it and in another year ur hair will be even longer!!!!
It looks very nice fits your face perfectly †luv it
If you wet it and put in products will your hair curl back like in the update video? Or do they need to process it again (not including new growth)?
Thanks for the update!
It looks so good
hi..im a first time viewer. I enjoyed your video especially the ending. we're similar. i would've said it the exact way lol
You go girl!
Loren your hair is gorgeous and has lots of body! this is Cynthia ( Claudetteâs daughter) I hope you , Sharian and rest of the family are wellâ€ïž
Gina curl vs wave nouveau?
Yes! Let people live!
Can u do a video of u washing ur hair? What products u use ?
did your hair fall out from the wave nouveau or stress?
đŻ agree with this. I have the ginacurl for same reasons.
Your hair looks thinner along the ends sis
On your tiktok you had a weave that matched perfectly, was it tape ins? From Christmas time I think. Thanks for the update. I love Qhemet biologics heavy cream for our hair, extreme moisture!
It was a half wig!!
@@LorenSharice Thank you!!
In cornrows spray your hair with water first then oils
I am curious you have the same length from 3 yrs ago, did you have to start over again or do you just cut it to keep it at this length? Just wondering. As other girls I see with the Gina curl hair has grown longer over time.
Can you still get a Gina Curl if you had a texturizer?
i have a question. can u do a wave noveou on transitioning hair?
Can the chemical used in the GenaCurl burn your scalp?
Can you straighten it with heat or use a curling iron
What happens if u don't have 4c hair? My natural hair is mostly straight.. maybe a slight wave
Any texture hair can get it!
@lorensharice try an old school remedy for your hair during the new growth stage:
Infusium original leave-in treatment. I combine that with TGIN products and it helps a LOT with shedding and dryness.
Some of the comments in this comments section are waaaaay beyond me. I don't understand the blatant disrespect some people are giving you regarding YOUR hair, but to me, these comments greatly resemble the not so great art of jealousy.
I think your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I could have my curly hair that length, but my face shape and what my hair does when it's on the shorter side once it dries...nope, I just can't do it because I'd look like Crusty The Clown đ€Ł so I have to keep mine very long. You're gorgeous! The hair. The face. The angelic singing voice. You have it ALL â€
Can you dye you hair with this???
It looks thin and damaged
Yup. And I literally just came from the original video when she first got it over 3 yrs ago. Her hair was thick and luscious. What a shame
Why not have Gina put smaller rods in the next time? This way the new growth will blend better.
I did that in my last update but it ended up with more or a spiral curl and not as big curly. So i wanted the curls a little rounder lol
Love you girl do you your hair look GREAT
You look lovely but Iâm glad that Iâve learned how to care for my natural type 4 hair and it only takes 1 1/2 hours including drying and I use shampoo, conditioner and gel. I donât use any oils or butter.
How long do you get before you reach the noticeable new growth phase?
For me when it start hitting that third month is hard to hide
Is it completely permanent (like a relaxer) or does it go away?
Itâs like a relaxer
Hi Gurl! Can you gel your hair for updo's?
You definitely can. 4c is a little harder to blend and lay down when it grows out so the texture mix takes work to put up but it can definitely be done.
hi there! curious, can you straighten without compromising the curls?
No
You can do heatless curls but no flat ironing or blow drying
I have a Gina Curl! And Iâm curious What shampoo/conditioner, leave in and styling products do you use?
Do you have to wash or condition your hair every 3 days?
Gina of Hairs Talent has products recc'd to maintain the Gina Curl on her site. Your stylist shouldve given you an aftercare sheet. Pretty much free to use whichever shampoo and conditioner you like as long as its not anti dandruff and doesnt have any protein. She says you should add a leave in and a curl cream. Stay away from gels and dont go to sleep with wet hair. The biggest thing is washing 2x a week and making sure to detangle with a wide tooth comb to remove shed hair
@@Meera436so we cant slick our own hair when we perm it đą why not?
Gel is too hard and crunchy. Breaks the hair because itâs stiff. I guess you can slick it down but idk if you should sleep with it in. Iâm not a big fan of baby hairs or slick edges so idc about sleek edges. I just let my edges be nappy after it grows out
@@Meera436 wait im 12 years old my hair is dense and 4c. would my hair become wavy with the jerry curl bc i want 3b hair not 2c
I understand you wanting an easier hair regimen.
The product is sitting on your hair if you put all those products on there and here is not moisturized use vitamin E oil 40,000 i.e. from Jason. Also use Garnier fruitis the curly line.
You canât get Gina curl then turn around and get wave nouveau those are 2 different treatments similar but different
I believe she had the wave nouveau previously, they damaged her hair, she grew out natural again, then got the Gina curl.
can you still get your hair straightened?
NO! Gina curl you canât even comb or brush your hair with certain tools and hair must be dried on low heat.you canât even braid your hair once you have a Gina curl. Gina curl was made for Caucasian ppl thatâs their curly wash and go
My hair isn't silky or soft ..it will scratch kick and bite so touch at your own risk..and I am fine with that.
Does your hair still grow in the normal span of time?
Girl you are so fine!đ©đ©đđđgirl crushingâ€ïžâđ„
She Gina did a great job wish she could do mine
you are the most beautiful woman I've seen in my life
People who don't have so-called 4c hair should not comment on it. I had this same conversation with people in the last three days. I love my hair. I just want it manageable. Spent an hour and a half in the shower four days ago detangling my hair and almost fainted doing it. Just too much. Now, where I live, there's absolutely no hairdresser who can do my hair. Always done it myself but could do with a break now, however, it's looks like I'm stuck doing it myself. That's okay. I want to wear my hair in an afro but I can't, unless I plan to shave my head afterward. I love my hair big and I don't give a hoot about frizz either. What's that? I just can't spend a third of my life sleeping, another third being a parent and the other third doing "wash days." Not going to work. I've been wanting to get a Gina curl but I can't yet. I can't live in braids forever and I don't wear wigs. I have not relaxed my hair in about fifteen years, if I'm counting correctly... and guess what? My tubs of relaxer are being delivered tomorrow. I can't relax it yet because my head is still hurting from wash day, four days ago, plus, it wouldn't be good to do it so close after washing my hair... not to mention the fact that I'm still hesitant. It's getting done either way. I don't have this time in life to spend perpetually gently detangling my hair and having throbbing headaches afterward. When I get tired of the relaxer or when it starts not looking the way I think it should, I'll go back natural like I've done before and probably lock it for a while... until I feel like changing it again. Again, people who don't have "4c" hair... shut up!... pretty please... and I'm very aware that there are people who think they have 4c hair but... ummm... okay... I'll leave it there. Enjoy your Gina curl girl.
Until you have cried trying and spending hours doing your hair and your hair still doesnât come out DONT TALK TO US. We work so much harder. We do our part with half the results. and thereâs just nothing more frustrating than taking the time to detangle and the arm paiinnnnsss and the giving up. I ran into a whole area of CZcams of girls saying they hate their 4c hair and people were in the comments bashing them with their looser textures. Its just a different ball game and we really are trying.
get a foldable stool. found 1, yr ago at bed bath beyond approx 30$. enjoy your perm if you still decide to go that route; after much, much, much experimentation, i use the aunt jackies knot on my watch detangler and Tresemme shampoo and conditioner the black and green ones have done well for me (mane and tale are a little too stiff feeling for me now with the greys). as well as the African pride line for leave-in and curling creme. they just stay and go into my hair easier. it's 4c-z thick, holds heat if straitened, and mid back to waist length, when i take care of it. takes about 2 hours from start to finish.
Great video, can you give me the address or phone for the salon in Los Angeles, in the other video the Connecticut address comes up.

THE CHEMICALS AND WHAT THEY COULD CAUSE....
Youâre blocking hair follicles putting oil on your scalp daily. Your scalp produces its own oil(sebum).
I actually have eczema on my scalp so i do need oils. Iâve maintained it from patching for years though.
@@LorenSharice have you tried pure aloe gel with something like peppermint/tea tree in it? The aloe is naturally moisturizing, soothes the scalp & is the same pH as hair. Also, the addition of the peppermint (you can find one on Amazon) stimulates growth, keeps bacteria at bay & keeps the scalp healthy as well. That might be a great addition for braids, or your GC to help with eczema.
Oh okay Loren. Iâm sorry I forgot that some people need healing oils for scalp conditions. Please excuse my ignorance.
I just want you to know that I know what youâre talking about from childhood.
Damn! Sistas need other races to find new ways to make their hair like biracials đ
