How to Read Your Day Two Curls — Soft vs. Rough Finish  @GenaMarie

Your day 2 results will tell you if your products are balanced. Watch full routine breakdown on my channel so you can see exactly how I built each side.

Day two curls don't lie. If your hair goes limp, loses shape, or feels weighed down by the next day — or it's dry, brittle, and frizzy — your routine isn't matched to your finish type. That's not a hair problem. It's a product problem.

👉🏼Soft finish hair with too much moisture or slip will collapse — looks great after diffusing, falls apart hours later.
👉🏼Rough finish hair without enough moisture or slip feels stiff, tangly, and hard to work through by day two.

When your routine is moisture-hold-balanced for your finish type, it lasts. Some natural softening and loosening is normal — what you shouldn't be seeing is collapse, brittleness, or frizz.

These are my actual day two results from my soft vs. rough finish split test. Both sides held because both routines were matched to the right finish type.

Not sure which one you are? Watch the full routine and product breakdown on my channel.
