The new and approved Gina Curl
Natural Hairstyles
The trend of switching from chemical to natural products doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all! But are salons maintaining their skills to keep those clients looking to transition? Clients want to try going natural, but some don’t realize the care they need to take to make sure their hair stays healthy and strong. Some of the issues that come up are breakage, problem scalp, and daily styling.
If you’re thinking of going natural, make sure you get regular moisturizing treatments and protein treatments for hair that still has chemicals in it. Natural hair can mean more product to define curls and control frizz. More product use means more cleaning. Product buildup can cause dry, itchy scalp. Carrying out a deep cleaning of the hair and scalp is essential.
All this work can seem daunting, especially for those clients who don’t know how to take care of their hair and don’t do their own hair much. They like the idea of getting their curls back but are afraid they won’t be able to handle it.
Now we have a solution to all the hard work it takes to keep natural hair tightly coiled, product costs, dry and sometimes foul-smelling scalp caused by rushed and improper shampooing.
The new and improved Gina Curl
Easier to manage hair
Choose the curl you are looking for
The new and improved Gina Curl belongs to the chemical family of Japanese straightening, but offers more freedom.
It is a three step process. The first step “Tioglicolato” softens the bonds of the hair.
The second step, the “rod set,” sets the hair into the set pattern you’re looking for and the third step is the “oxidizer,” which puts the links back together. The new and improved Gina Curl restructures hair molecules to reduce frizz/volume, making hair smoother, shinier, with more manageable curl and moisture balanced.
The new and improved Gina Curl is an alternative to formaldehyde straightening systems, sodium hydroxide relaxers and other harsh chemical services, allowing you to have a smooth curl pattern. This is similar to a thermal reconditioning, but requires a wand set rather than the use of a hair dryer or flat iron during a thermal reconditioning process.
Eliminate overlap when doing a touch-up curl.
Helps the stylist to apply the best force to areas of the head that have uneven porosity or other chemicals present.
does not burn
The stylist can take their time applying the solution.
The shine and manageability are amazing.
Less time needed for styling.
Less product is needed.
The hair will retain its elasticity.
Like the Japanese straightening, the new and improved Gina Curl requires more time than the previous Gina Curl. It takes 3-4 hours, which includes processing, drying time under a tumble dryer, and neutralization.
Your hair will retain its elasticity, giving you more time to stretch out your chemical services. You will most likely only need to touch up the roots a maximum of three or four times a year.
Your new hair will grow back with its original texture, but the difference between your new growth and your treated hair will blend in and the good news is that it won’t break as it grows. It is safe to switch from the new and improved Gina Curl and straight variation method to a thermal reconditioning. Clients with a relaxer will not be able to get a full curl. The new and improved Gina Curl will only be applied to new growth, but this process will smooth and curl the natural roots.
