Gina Curl Curly Perm Update on my 4c Hair 

This is beautiful! As far as dryness while in protective styles; oil isn’t a moisturizer, it’s a sealer. So moisturize with paraben free products and add oil after it’s juicy and moisturized. Moisturize while your hair is still good and wet. Low porosity hair moisturizes better while wet. After it’s moisturized add your oil. It helps a lot! Also don’t wash your hair while in cornrows because then you can’t treat it after washing the product out. So it’s makes it so much harder to properly care for when it comes down. Just some tips I’ve learned along the way.

She doesn’t understand what’s truly happening to her hair n what’s to come. Gina curl can’t be undone. time will tell Gina curl isn’t good it’s damaging but to each it’s own

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.

Wow!!!! No girl go back and look at your own video when you first got this done. Your hair is definitely damaged.

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

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.

Hi Loren, I’m so excited to see your Gina Curl update! I’ve been very curious to see what hair looks like with bigger curls at this length and it is beautiful 🥰. I, myself, chose pink and blue rods for my first Gina Curl and really love the look🥰. However, when I go in for my very first retouch next month, I’m going to get the pink rods for a looser elongation and can hardly wait. 🥰

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.

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..😉

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

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

It looks thin and damaged

She is so BEAUTIFUL 😍

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 girl💖

Your hair looks thinner along the ends sis

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.

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.

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 🤣 so I have to keep mine very long. You're gorgeous! The hair. The face. The angelic singing voice. You have it ALL ❤

Why not have Gina put smaller rods in the next time? This way the new growth will blend better.

@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.

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 🙂.

Yes! Let people live!

I love it! When Mr hair grow out more I am definitely going to get one

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!!!!

You look lovely but I’m glad that I’ve 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 don’t use any oils or butter.

Loren your hair is gorgeous and has lots of body! this is Cynthia ( Claudette’s daughter) I hope you , Sharian and rest of the family are well❤️

Can u do a video of u washing ur hair? What products u use ?

In cornrows spray your hair with water first then oils

Gina curl vs wave nouveau?

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.

It looks so good

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update!! Your hair looks great

It looks very nice fits your face perfectly ❤ luv it

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!

💯 agree with this. I have the ginacurl for same reasons.

did your hair fall out from the wave nouveau or stress?

I understand you wanting an easier hair regimen.

You go girl!

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

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.

What happens if u don't have 4c hair? My natural hair is mostly straight.. maybe a slight wave

RESEARCH !!! RESEARCH !!! RESEARCH !!! THE CHEMICALS AND WHAT THEY COULD CAUSE....

Love you girl do you your hair look GREAT

Hi Gurl! Can you gel your hair for updo's?

Can you straighten it with heat or use a curling iron

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)?

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 still get your hair straightened?

You can’t get Gina curl then turn around and get wave nouveau those are 2 different treatments similar but different

Can you dye you hair with this???

Girl you are so fine!😩😩😍😍😍girl crushing❤️‍🔥

How long do you get before you reach the noticeable new growth phase?

She Gina did a great job wish she could do mine

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.

Is it completely permanent (like a relaxer) or does it go away?

you are the most beautiful woman I've seen in my life

hi there! curious, can you straighten without compromising the curls?

I have a Gina Curl! And I’m curious What shampoo/conditioner, leave in and styling products do you use?

You’re blocking hair follicles putting oil on your scalp daily. Your scalp produces its own oil(sebum).

Commenting for algorithm

Does your hair still grow in the normal span of time?

I just want you to know that I know what you’re talking about from childhood.

a white woman’s chemical concoction is not the way to go for any black woman w 4c hair. just a thought.

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.

Damn! Sistas need other races to find new ways to make their hair like biracials 😂
