 Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I have a very special guest. We have Gio from Gio's Wave and if you don't know who he is, let me just give you a little hint into his life. Look at these curls. This is amazing. Drop the mic. So you have your own YouTube channel, right? Yeah, so my YouTube channel is Gio's Wave. Focus on Min's lifestyle, of course my hair is the main focal point as of now, but I also focus on fitness, fashion, and just everyday life. Awesome. So we have some very fun things for you guys today. As you can see, we both have curly hair, but my hair is like super tight curls and I used to think it was long until I sat next to this guy. Now my hair is short today, but then he has a very different curl pattern, probably different technique. So we're going to do like a curly hair advice swap and we'll see what I do with my hair versus what you do with your hair. Absolutely. Cool? So I'm going to ask you and ask me questions. So I'm going to pull out my handy dandy phone and see what you guys want to know. Oh yes, the sleep routine. How do you sleep with all of that hair? What do you do? Well, I have actually two routines. Okay. If I'm not going to be wearing my hair out the next day, typically I just throw it in a bun, with the no tie bun, so I just use my hair tie up in a knot. Wow. You have that much hair? You could literally tie your own hair in a knot. I could literally tie my hair in a knot. Okay, cool. The second one, if I am going to be wearing my hair out, I sleep under my hair, if that makes sense. So basically, I sleep under my hair, it doesn't make sense at all. So all your hair is like to one side? All my hair. Literally, I lay my hair on the pillow next to me. So your hair has its own pillow? Yeah, my hair literally has its own pillow, that's the only way. For my sleep routine, I have two sleep routine videos you guys could check out, but if you have short hair, I would recommend using a satin bonnet. If not, I'd put my hair into a pineapple on the very top of my head, but when I take it out, it just falls flat out like this. This is my day five hair, and that's how I'm able to do that because of the pineapple. After we've milked our curls for as long as possible, we eventually have to wash them. So how often do you wash your hair? So on the fourth day, I do a co-wash, and the following week is when I actually wash my hair with shampoo down the water. Perfect. I personally wash my hair once a week, and I just shampoo conditioner every time I wash. I don't have a co-wash, I know a lot of people do, but it's always work for me. I just always make sure that my shampoos are sulfate-free so it doesn't dry out my hair. And when I am usually milking my hair to day four, day five, I actually refresh my hair every day. So for my refresh routine, I just use a little bit of water and a little bit more product, and that's how my curls are able to last the entire day. How do you refresh your curls? So I actually refresh my curls within the co-wash, so on that fourth day is when I actually refresh. So I refresh day one, day two, day three. Really? Day four is when I actually refresh, because I do the whole entire co-wash, and then it doesn't get refreshed again until I actually wash my hair. So for you to refresh, you have to re-wash, basically. I have to re-wash, because as a guy, I actually like the frizz, and I actually like how messy my hair actually looks. So day two, you literally wake up and go, like you don't touch your hair at all. That's nice. And then when you do wash your hair, and you need to dry your hair, how long does it take to dry this beautiful mane? Four to six hours. Oh my God. Four to six hours. So your day is pretty much planned around your wash day. Yes. Like your friends want to hang out. I can't. My hair is drying all day. All day. Unless sometimes I actually would just get in the car and just dry all the windows down. Really? Yes. So you use your car windows instead of a diffuser? Yes. Very much. Okay. I'd rather air dry than use the diffuser. I would love to see you in the car with all of the windows. It's just blowing everywhere. You should get a convertible. Oh absolutely. That is like a life goal right there. Next question. Do you use a hair pick? Of course. I love my hair pick. I cannot go anywhere without it. My hair would be super flat and I just use it to add, you know, some extra volume every now and then. Just like an extra pick. What about you? I do not use a hair pick. Hello! You don't use a pick? How could you not use a pick? Too much to pick out. And I feel like I would just do a terrible job of picking it out. But do you like this part to be higher or this is high as you want to get? This is the highest I think I can go. I mean I'll shake it out with my hands but that's the most I'll ever do. A very obvious question. How did you get your hair so long? So when I was younger, I actually was using this one oil that my mom bought and it worked out. It worked out really well. Like for scalp massages? Or you would apply it to your hair every day or what would you do with it? Well she would apply it to my scalp. Okay. Not so much my hair and stuff. So yeah if you want to check out that video by the way it's on Gio's way. But yeah, that's for seven years I was using that product and my hair grew. You also get haircuts or trims every so often to make your hair grow, do you have something to do with your length? So I typically get a trim. Okay. I typically trim five inches off. Five inches? Once a year. And you do it yourself or do you go someplace? I go to a place my mom suggests me to go. So your mom is a very big factor here in beautiful hair. Beautiful hair. Huge factor by the way. Shout out to mom. Shout out to mom. Thanks mom. Right? I also cut my hair maybe once a year. Can we see your trim off? Less than an inch or an inch. But unlike you I'm kind of hold on to my length. How was your actual curl type before? Well I don't know my curl type but when my hair was shorter there was a time where my hair was shorter. What is short to you first of all? I was about like, see where he's pointing for short? It's right here and yeah my hair definitely was way more curlier right now. It goes curly, wavy, curly. I would think that these smaller curls right out your scalp are pretty close to mine. Like they're super tight ringlets so that would be like a type 3C. And then in the middle is actually almost like a 3A and then you're right it does end off at like a 3B. Do you use one product, two product, eight products? What's your routine like? Max three products. For me I always like to use one product and one product kind of girl. So I just use either just a gel or just a cream. If I do mix two it's like max two. So if I'm using two products you're only using three. For those of you using like five, six, seven products you obviously don't need to like look at all this hair. If he doesn't have to use that many products neither do you. No firm believer, less is more. Yes, less is more. Next question, how long have you been growing out your hair and would you ever cut it? So I've been growing my hair for about 10 years maybe this is the 11th year. Okay. Whatever cut it, no shorter than my shoulders. So since your hair is so long how long do you think it actually is? I would say about 25 inches. 25 inches. Let's find out. I actually have a measuring tape. Just so happy to have a measuring tape. Just so happy not cause I like really want to know or anything. Okay, so we had to stand up for this because his hair is so long and it's still not all fitting. Excuse me in frame. So let me try from the very roots of your hair. There we go. Let's go right there. Can you hold that? Yeah. Okay, starting there. I'm going to go straight down. Okay, not even pulling it. It is 33 inches. And then if we actually pull it so it's a little bit straighter, how do you function? I don't. All right. Okay, look at this. Look at this. Let's go this way. I need more measuring tape. 41. 41. 41 inches, everyone. Now I know. Don't talk to me. What's mine? Well, that is ridiculously long, 41 inches. I only can imagine how you do your curly hairstyles.
