 Hey curl friends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I am going to show you how to get rid of those hard Crunchy curls. I mean, let's be honest it happens. Sometimes you put too much gel Sometimes use a product that just makes your hair really hard and crunchy but If I'm being completely honest, I Actually like the crunch. I know it might be kind of weird to you guys But I mean definitely comment below if you can relate to this. I Prefer using a gel first of all or any product that will give me a little bit of Crunch or hardness because that tells me that this is going to make my curls last all throughout the week You should not be washing your hair every day You should just be refreshing and in order to have a good refresh day You have to start with a really good foundation and the foundation is That hard crunchy curl now if you like your curls to be super soft fluffy That's fine, but I know for me somebody was very fine hair My hair is just gonna look really flat and in order for me to get this volume I need a little bit of hold to keep everybody up and lasting throughout the week So in this video, I'm gonna show you how easy it is to fix this problem So we're gonna go from these flat hard boring crunchy curls to this big volumized soft Define curls But before I do this, I need to make sure that we're committed in this relationship We need to take it to the next level so I need you to follow me on Twitter Instagram and snapchat at miss beyond grenade I am so close to 200,000 subscribers and very close to 50k on Instagram and as soon as I get there we're doing a giveaway So make sure you're following me here on YouTube and Instagram push that little bell so you're notified as soon as I Giveaway goes live now back to our regularly scheduled programming So right now. I currently have my favorite gel in my hair, which is the Dippity-Doo girls with curls jelly I've talked about this gel several times. I think it's safe to say that it's my favorite. It literally costs 499 at TJ max. I Know super random. This is like a really old-school brand actually like I guess our moms and grandmas actually use this stuff but it Works so well for my hair You can tell when a curl is hard when you could literally like lift it And it stands straight up, but this means that this curl knows exactly what it wants It's gonna look like this and it's going to hold this foundation all week long Now there's two different ways that you can make your hard curl soft again by using one of two things The first thing you could use is a set of hands You literally just crunch your curls and keep scrunching them and that'll break up the cast So you could just keep going like this and eventually your curls gonna get more volume And you're gonna get rid of all that crunch by just scrunching it away or You could use a diffuser. This is the diva dryer with the curly-co diffuser I have been using this diffuser on my diva dryer lately because I feel like it's just faster So this is what I use especially on my refresh days So I'm gonna show you how to use both at the same time I mean I'm going to use my diffuser and use my hands to scrunch and my curls are gonna look fabulous at the end Of this and I'll prove to you that the crunch is actually a good thing So does currently 325 and I'll show you exactly how long it takes me to diffuse Many of you guys ask me if diffusing is allowed in the no heat challenge And it is because I'm using a low fan speed low heat and only for five minutes That's part of the reason why I do wait for my hair to air dry about 85% Because then I can get the job done really quickly. So now look at my curls now. They are no longer crunchy I'm able to get some more volume I have beautiful definition and my diffuser didn't make my hair frizzy because of that hold I would not feel comfortable using my diffuser if my curls were one wet or just like Super mushy and almost too soft because I know that that soft curl can easily be blown away and create frizz Where if it has a little bit of crunch to it that diffuser is not going to mess up the curl pattern So now I'm gonna shake this out a little bit more show you guys my final steps how I get that final look I Do have bangs. I have to shake them to the front And if it's a good day, they'll just Act right if you find any more crunch you could just keep scrunching until you reach your current desired level of softness Look at that guys look at it Look at that definition. Of course, I'm not satisfied with my volume level. So I am gonna grab my pick And we're going to make this even bigger and guess what this is actually my day for hair I have not washed my hair in four days and it looks this fabulous Another way you can make sure that your curls don't get hard is by using a leave-in first So if you use any type of gel and just make sure hair like hard as a rock use a leave-in first and then apply the gel That'll soften out the gelness But as some of you may know I don't really use leave-in conditioners because it takes away from that crunch that I secretly desire But to each his own try it do what works for you and once you do I want you to come back and leave me a comment and let me know how it worked Do you use a leave-in before your gel? Do you scrunch away the cast? Do you use you diffuser leave all your tips and tricks down below as well?
