Is webbed frizz something you experience? All steps are outlined on the blog post, including product links: genamarie.co/2023/11/causes-of-webbed-frizz-how-to-fix-it/

For tighter textures, I recommend the African Pride pre-shampoo for detangling before washing. It’s a very slippy gel-custard consistency. It works so much better for me than oil.

I'm new to curly hair creams, gels and products, and your description of the product feeling "slippy" in the hair while applying product and adding some water has given me the best results! I have thick hair and it's common for the top layer to dry much faster than the rest, and spraying some more water on it has helped distribute gels and creams much more evenly!

Never in my 38 years woud I have ever thought to detangle begore applying conditioner. There's so much to learn

Thank you so much for all your videos Gena! After having babies & getting highlights last year, my hair was left damaged (fried) and just changed. I’ve been watching tons of your videos and blog posts. I’m doing my first new wash day tomorrow. I’m excited!

Great tips! Gotta say I'm loving the gray poking through. Looks like highlights

Thanks Gena!!!! As always a great video with the better tips for getting rid of wet frizz. I experimented webbed frizz and it was hard to deal with it. I remember I got nervous and impatient and I broke a lot of my hair. It was because I used a shampoo that was in a bad conditions, I through it away and never use it again. Since I apply your recommendations I get better results with my curly hair. 😊

Ty Gina!! I need to sleep in my bonnet and not leave it in a bun. Great video 😊

Wow, Gena, I learn something from you every time. I never even thought about webbed frizz or gave that name to it. There really is a balance, as you say, between having some frizz and having volume. I did start detangling with oil and/or with a conditioner I'm trying to use up before shampooing, after you (and others) mentioned it a while back, and it helps a lot. Thanks for all the great information!

Hi Gena pre shampoo conditioner detangling is how I use up conditioner or masks that are ok but not favourites. As long as they are fairly slippery they work well, even if they’re not as deeply moisturising as I want in my actual conditioner/mask post shampoo. This allows me to use up product that might just get shoved to the back or given away. Just using oil doesn’t work as well for my very course textured hair as it soaks up oil easily and then I need a lot making it more difficult to shampoo. Frizz is a fact of life for me, but pre shampoo detangling was a revelation when I started doing so a couple of years ago. Best wishes x

Thanks for the tips, your hair turned out sooo beautiful

this is such a helpful and detailed video. you have explained everything really well. i am using Curlvana Fortifying Curl Cleanse Shampoo for my shampoo, the best toxin and glycerine free shampoo to manage my curls.. totally love the results.

Great video , Gena! thanks 😊 I noticed the terry cloth-looking bands on your forearms while shampooing. Are the specifically for that purpose? or are they just hair scrunchies to catch the drips? I’d love to have a link if you have one? Thanks for all the time and effort you put into helping us wavy/curly girls out ❤

Your advice to detangle before shampooing helped me so much. I have super frizzy and tangly hair, so I could never do it dry in any way, but I do it in the shower with some conditioner. It helps a lot!

Do you find you have a lot of breakage, or do you like your hair short? I've just noticed that it's stayed the same length for a while.

Thank you! So helpfull, can't wait to try😊

Is seems like no matter what techniques I use, I still have wet frizz

What about knots? Like ones that won’t go without a brush…best to do it on dry hair?

You see frizz at the end?! Wow, that’s NOTHING. If you think that’s frizz, I think you may be seeing things! ☺️

Thanks for the great tips! What speed and heat level do you use to diffuse?

Is it okay to use oil to detangle dry curly hair and then use a clarifying shampoo? Or should you only oil detangle when you are going to use a normal shampoo?

How do you keep from picking up hair your have already styled 😢I have a horrible time with this. Also leaving a "part" in the back UGH Thank you for all you share, you are so amazing with your hair 🙂

Those wrist bands are so cool! I assume they are meant to keep the water from running down your arms?

When you do the pre-wash "oil treatment" - this is on hair that has all the prior styling products? "Dirty hair" ?

Thank you

No matter what I do my hair is always frizzy, if I turn the wrong way tons of knots form and it takes so long to brush out what do I do ☹️

What about tangles after styling? I get so many tangles after I dry my hair no matter what I do. 😢 And I can't keep the curls to stay curly they just turn into a wave Because gravity. 😢

I have high porosity, coarse hair. How many protien products should I use. TY

I just wanted to ask a question about this topic. I comb my hair before washing my hair. I wash my hair with shampoo 2 times, I put on a mask that detangles my hair very nicely. When I wash the mask off my hair, my hair is terribly tangled again, as if I had done nothing. 😕 It's also kind of "heavy" as if it hasn't been washed well, and it is. I wash my hair very thoroughly and I don't use a lot of washing or styling products. And what I use doesn't contain silicones that would stay on the hair during washing. When I do the final rinse, it's like I'm back at the beginning. The only thing that comes to mind is that it is because of the hard water. Is that possible? is this happening to anyone else?

Hi Gena, I have a question. If a shampoo has mild surfactants but one chelating ingredient (tetrasodium EDTA), is it still mild? I'm specifically referring to the As I Am Dry and Itchy shampoo, I usually shampoo my hair twice a week (which is also what As I Am recommends) but I don't want to dry out my hair any more than I have already. If it's too harsh then I'll buy the cowash so I can alternate. Thank you :) Here's the list of ingredients for the shampoo : Zinc Pyrithione 1.0%Aqua/Water/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide Mipa, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract, Glycol Stearate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Piroctone Olamine, Polyquaternium-10, Quaternium-80, Propanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Menthol, Caprylic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Ceteareth-60 Myristyl Glycol, Tetrasodium Edta, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate

I have a question. My 10 year old has beautiful long tight curls. She is part Spanish and part italian. Her hair is very dry and prone to frizz but the thing that has always been an issue and because of this she can never wear her out and has to keep it braided or in a bun is that her hair instantly tangles and mattes up right after brushing. I have tried everything from different ways of washing, styling, and products. I have tried it all and yet her hair still gets so tangled and matted. She cries all the time that she can’t leave her hair down and I don’t why this happens or how to fix it.

I thought you liked Curlsmith curl quenching conditioning wash? Now you are telling me I need to shampoo instead?????? I need some guidance....shampoo or not????

Is there a name for your kind of hair cut?

please help me i'm seriously so desperate this is causing me severe stress. Everyone EVERYONE says the solution to this wet frizz is adding more water, i follow the tips to A TEE. It makes NO difference on my hair. Half of my hair is manageable amounts of frizzy. Ugly, but soft enough. The other side is a different store. FRIZZ CITY less than 5 minutes after getting out of the shower or soaking my hair. No styling creams, mousses, gels, deep conditioners etc does anything AT ALL to this frizz. I've tried curly girl method and regular basics and nothing helps. I'm so desperate I don't know what to do. I feel like i'm at my wits end genuinely going insane over how to fix this. Wasn't always like this either but it did not get like this from damage or heat bc i don't dye or style with heat at all.
