Hey crow friends, I'm Bianca Rene and you watching beyond grenade today and today believe it or not, you're looking at curls that just came from the gym. Yes, today, I'm showing you how to workout at the gym and then still have beautiful curls after your workout. Now, as some of you may know, I am someone who likes to preserve her curls for up to day for 5 days 6, sometimes - and I do workout Monday through Friday, so it is possible to have beautiful, looking curls without having to wash your hair all over Again, every time you go to the gym so that further ado, let me show you how I went to the gym. Showed you what kind of workout I did and then how I got to this point after the gym. Why should I listen you if you want any competitions or anything? Well, I kind of warned them so sure I won mr. America, the Miss Universe, the world championships three times. I want to be on your YouTube channel. Please please me on the YouTube channel. I make it oh alright. Now I am back from the gym all nice and sweaty. This is the current damage. You know a little frizzy, so yes, obviously not perfect, but don't worry something that I can't fix. But what I probably haven't shown you into my video is that every time I shower throughout the week I wear a shower cap. These are just little cheap, clear, 99-cent stores shower caps. We are gon na, add some water to refresh, but we don't want to be soaking, wet and start all over again. So make sure you have a cheap little plastic shower cap and take your shower all righty. Now I am fresh out the shower feeling. Oh so clean my makeup is on and now it's time to assess the damage of this post gym hair. Now, like I said, I usually like to put up the very top of my head in a pineapple that way, it kind of just you know, falls back into place. Oh I did this on a late day hair. This was like day four five, but nothing. I can't fix, but, technically speaking it is good to keep your hair at the very top of your head. That way, it's not touching any of the sweat! That'S on your neck or your back, so you don't want to put it in a low ponytail. You don't want to put it in braids, because your curls are just not gon na look right, post braids unless you're doing like a full twist out and that might actually work. You don't want any hair resting on the areas where you're going to sweat. So it's best to keep it up high and away, and in a pineapple I wouldn't even recommend putting it in a bun, because now you're just smashing your curls, even more, creating more dense and she's gon na be harder to refresh. So just let them be free. You know and let them live on the top of your head. We'Ve got some straight pieces right here, not curly, not cute, and we're going to refresh it no problem. So as always, I grab my curl Keeper water bottle. You can use any water bottle brand you! I think I might be cheaper on Amazon, but this is what I have and we're just going to Reese Pritz are here. If you sweat a lot, which I don't really think I sweat a lot, you might want to add some dry shampoo, but I'm just going to re-wet it. Okay already looking better, I know most of you would look at this and be like. Oh, it's ruined time to wash my hair y'all give up too soon. You give up too easy better now, since you guys have seen me refresh with so many of the products that I already have in my other videos. I want to try something new for you, guys, which is the diva curl arced angel gel. This gel is not new by far but it's new to me, and I know I'm late to the game, but I've heard this gel is even better or maybe it's more of a hold than the ultra defining gel. What do you guys think which Atalla do like, but if you've tried both I'm curious? So I'm going to add about that much I showed you a clear hand. Can you even see that that's how much gel I'm using rub them together and we're just going to reapply it in this little scrunching flattening motion? So we want to pray for our curls pray for them, pray that they will be revived and beautiful once again, pray and scrunch pray and scratch. Since I have bangs now, I'm going to bring my bangs forward, you got ta, find them believe it or not. These are my bangs, that's called shrinkage and then I'm going to apply some gel to the top of my head and my bangs. Many of you focus so much on your length of the hair that you forget the top of your head, and then you wonder why you have frizz on the top of your head, so don't forget to apply to the top and there you go so at this Point I just like to let my hair air dry for at least 30 minutes on a refresh day. Sometimes I can get away with them, not waiting as long as my day, one here, but I will come back when this gel starts to harden a little bit more wait for that a little bit of a crunch, and then I might diffuse, if need be, and We'Ll see how it looks um back in now, my hair is completely dry and now we're going to fluff it out and style it. I'M gon na give it a little shake once again there's a lot of shaking involved in the refreshing, get my bangs to come forward. Oh yeah! I am really liking this new well, not new, but this Ark Angel, diva, curl gel, think it's my new favorite diva curl gel it just took first place. Look at that beautiful or what and you were about to wash your hair again. Just because you went to the gym, I think the Archangel Jo has just the perfect amount of hold and if you think, there's too much of a crunch to it, you could just scrunch it like this. Have a full video on how to get rid of the cast that gels leave on your hair? I think it's perfect. What do you guys now? I'M gon na get my handy dandy, pick and kind of make it bigger, but this is what I do every day guys I go to the gym Monday through Friday, and then i refresh my curls just like this. I hope this video helped you guys with your daily workout and curly hair routine. If so, hope you give me a thumbs up and subscribe. I post two new videos: every week foundation, reviews on fridays and curling your videos on Sunday so come back next week for more videos. I'Ll see you guys next time, thanks for watching Bianca Rene today,
Comments
Rebecca Blair: That was so helpful! I’m that girl who feels she has to shower after bc the curls are straightened after I take down my pineapple. Life changing! Thanks again Bianca!
M James: I needed this video. I wash my hair too often like every three days. I need to refresh and give my hair a chance. I've never tried Arc Angel but you make me want to. It was really cool to see you workout.
xfortunesquex: I appreciate this! I'll admit that I've given up on refreshing since I'm a type 2. I've just let the hair weigh itself down through the week smh. I should try at least wetting my hair and scrunching and see what it does.
1FrolishiousBaby: I love this workout/hair refresh video. It's very helpful as sometimes I can struggle with refreshing since I have tighter curls. I would love a video on the protein free products you use. My hair is protein sensitive so I have to be careful not to always refresh with my Deva gel #curlygirl #snapfam
Luciane Kealoha: you just changed my WHOLE LIFE!!! This whole time i've been thinking gym day has to mean wash day but no.... not to be dramatic lol but I feel more empowered to get serious about my fitness now?? thank you thank you!
Kathi Neumann: Yaaassss! A perfect how-to refresh video! I love how you always know what we need. I'm def gonna share this!
Victoria Colozzi: Bianca, thank you so much for this video! This has been a huge struggle for me with my CG journey because I also workout 4-5x/week! Do you workout with makeup on? Do you find that makes you breakout? I also have similar oily acne prone skin concerns and I'm so self-conscious going to the gym without makeup, but I feel like sweating with foundation on is going to make me breakout! :(
Vanessa B: Hey, girl! I'm new to the curly girl method and I'm currently working out 5 days a week in the evening. I also sweat profusely (I know, gross). How and when should I refresh? I heard you say dry shampoo but I'm unsure and also going broke buying products. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing!
Kay Lynn: I’m so happy you made this video ❤️ I really thought that curly hair YouTubers with beautiful hair like yours didn’t get straight pieces of hair after wearing it up or get messy hair in general. So I got discouraged and thought that there was no hope for my hair and I end up just keeping it up for days and letting it get dry. But now I realize that I just need to put the work in! It gets really dry easily now and I have a bad habit of pulling on it and undoing the strand, but starting tm I’m going to try harder to stop my bad habits! Tysm for inspiring me ☺️
Yamileth de Leon: This video was posted at a perfect time since I’ll be signing up to the gym tomorrow Bianca always knows what I need without my telling her
Erika Pasternack: I agree with you, arc angel has the #1 spot for deva gels for me too! The ultra defining gel is great (and I prefer the light grape scent that one has!) but I never get more than a day out of it without needing a pretty major refresh
OneWhoDreamsAwake: THANK YOU! This is exactly what I've been looking for! I'm happy I found your channel a few weeks ago. You're one of the few YouTubers who really answer the questions I want answered, in detail and with good instructions. Thanks again!
Sandra Lopez: Yes love this!!! Now I don’t have to wear my hair in a bun the rest of the day!
Mz_Ashley Michelle: I love the arc angel gel also and I’ve tried both! I need that extra hold for my 3c/4a curls
X: I’ve been waiting for you to make this video! I’m trying to start wearing my hair natural and down but the only thing holding me back is basketball. I have practice every morning so I never new what to do afterwards besides putting it in a bun. Thank you so much!
Kay: Hi Bianca! My hair starts to mat at the root on the crown and back of my head once I reach day 3 hair... living that high porosity life with 3B curls. Do you (or any of the lovely curlies in the comments) know how to combat this?
MademoiZelle02: You did the gym refresh video!!! Yay thank you for the tips, I needed it!
Ashlynn Moses: Can I just say, thank you so much for promoting deep conditioning, instant change!!! Love how you style your hair!!!!
Angelique Rosa: My hair is suuuuuper fine so it looks awful in a pineapple and gets greasy after working out I’m going to have to work on this.
JsJohnson: Great video, this has help me with refreshing my hair in the morning since I workout at nite. I used to use arc angle but I recently got my first deva cut and my stylist introduced me to to just using one product and now I just use deva curl light defining gel.
Samantha Stewart: So glad you did a gym post, the struggle is real. Your hair looks so dope!
iAMshatonia: I sooooo needed this video! Thanks girl!
iingrid: Yasss Bianca! Slayyyyy! I honestly like the ultra defining gel better, because I find the arc angel makes my hair a lil dry and TOO crunchy! But if I were to use it I only use a bit ❤️
Amanda Pearl: I've been struggling with refreshing, so when I saw you posted this video I was like, yes!! Then I saw the arc angel gel, and I was like YESS!! Just bought it, and so far I love it!
Alex Lippa: Oh my god! This is the video I have needed in my life for so long! My curls always look terrible because I hate washing every time I exercise!
EmpressG 555: I just switched over to Arc Angel gel after my last DevaCut and I’m loving the results as well! I used to use Ultra Defining gel which is still great but Arc Angel is my new fave! Thanks for the vid Bianca!
vanessa rocca: Thank you!!! I workout daily... But just give up on my curl pattern altogether and do the high bun after day 3... til wash day... My curls are transitioning back to their natural 3a and I am still recovering from alot of damage. So the Flattening of my roots has always scared me from trying a pineapple ponytail to workout.. I just leave it down and its a mess!!! I will try it tonight when i workout!!! Hoping to continue trusting the process i miss my curls... This moody hair half 2c half 3a is very frustrating... Thank you for sharing again!!!
Jasmine Aguilar: Yeesss thank you !!! I really needed this since I've been working out and just been keeping my hair in a bun
Victoria Christine: Girl, you just saved me. I’ve literally been looking for a tip like this for years. I had given up.
Yoana Rivas: Girl I've been waiting for someone to make this video!!!! I workout 5 days a week too and basically live in a bun cause I never know what to do!
Jose Garcia: Your curls are always perfect no matter what and I really like that you always are giving us options.
Starsis: I sweat A LOT, so I always just shower and rinse my hair with water :) It makes my hair feel cleaner and, if I use conditioner with it, it makes it super soft and hydrated too! :) I usually work out in the evenings, though, which DOES make it a little difficult because I end up going to bed with wet hair in braids, which ruins my curls the next day.
Xavier Thompson: Awesome! And the Arc Angel is the maxium hold gel so yet it has more "crunch" than any other of there gels! Your amazing Bianca thank you for sharing this!
Elizabeth Martinez: ❤️This video is so so important to me because I workout four times a week and never know what to do with my hair. Thank you for this video!! ❤️
Wil_911 WillyBigCurls: Curls poppin as always im gonna pray my refresh is as nice and as fresh as yours next time
Hennessy Mediavilla: Wow it was cool to see you work out! Fun little twist to your curly hair/makeup videos But coincidentally I washed my hair today and have the DevaCurl ultra defining gel in my hair. I guess you can say I put a really good amount in my hair, but that’s just because I want that crunch so my curls can last! But now what I’m hearing about the arc angel gel... I might just have to try that out Great video!
Lyla P: Lord knows I need this video! I always just put my hair up in a tight bun and end up having to wash it
kiki jarvis: I actually regret changing from the Arc Angel gel to the Ultra Defining gel. I just wanted to give it a try. My curls got mad at me and turned frizzy ☹️ Needless to say I swapped back ASAP!
Irene: This was very much needed, thank you so much ➰
Adriana Torres: Just when I needed an excuse to not work out I find this video that helps me refresh my curls I guess I can go work out now... Hahahaha jk I so needed this!!!
karens creations: I don’t work out but my sister does so I will totally show her this video
LeahsCards And Crafts: Thank you for all of the demonstrations you record, I recently purchased the dippity do gel from my local TJMax after watching your videos but I am concerned with some of the ingredients in it that are now being shown to possibly cause hormonal and cancer causing properties with continued exposure. Have you researched this? I know you talk about silicones and sulfates but their are 3 ingredients I see listed that are now shown to be possibly toxic.
Morgan Simone: Great video. We all know the struggle is too real and hate to decide between the gym and the curls.
Nadia Wong: I do high impact aerobics and I sweat in my head so by Tuesday my curls are a hot mess! I’ll try your technique.
Becca Ellen: you inspired me to embrace my curls everyday and I just wanna day tysm can you do tips on how to fix heat damaged hair please:)
goldie: I love Deva's Arc Angel. I like the hold I get form it. As a wavy I always need help in that department.
Francisco Alvarez: Thanks for the video Bianca! Ikl give my curls a chance after a workout. I have never used a dry shampoo, but I have seen that Shea Moisture makes a dry Shampoo.
Hilda Baldeyaque: Arc Angel is my fav!!! Definitely has more hold than the ultra defining gel....I really need to work on refreshing because I always give up
Thankful and Grateful: Amazing results, do you moisturise your hair during the week? Or do you only refresh with gel until wash day?
tovaleh: wow this looks like magic. totally going to try this, thanks!
Lyla P: I’ve never considered using dry shampoo, I sweat ALOT when I workout! I’m going to have to try it
Jane Caburian: I read up on which Devacurl gel to buy and Arc Angel happened to be which one I chose for Sofies hair She hates refresh days because she doesn't like wet hair on her neck I'm here trying to make her curls come back to life and sometimes she could care less
Chloe Albin: Hey Bianca ! :) Could you also upload a post swimming curly hair routine?
inkedandcurly: I've tried both the Arc Angel and the Ultra Defining Gel...and I still prefer Ultra Defining. The Arc Angel had too much hold, and it dried out my hair. Cast was too hard to break away to my liking. Love your video!
Evon: We wanna pray for our curls I do that everyday so it doesnt frizz out on me. Btw this vid was so relatable and yes your hair looks perfect
Mel the Unicorn: Even if my hair is in a pineapple for 2 minutes, when I take It down it does not fall back into place nicely help?
Rachel Walker: I have a thing I have to be fancy for after going to the gym so this was perfect timing
Catherine Mangas: I still have issues with frizz...I've tried a few different deep conditioners and my hair feels dry when I'm washing it out. I've got my first ever DevaCut coming up and I'm super excited!!! I've tried styling creams and gels and my hair feels dried out. What would you recommend using instead?
petitfleur: I just saw another youtuber do a video on ingredients in hair products and i’d love to see a Bianca Renee Today version! It was about how certain products put the formula for bad ingredients on labels instead of the actual name - ingredients that cause cancer, lowered immune system, eye irritation etc i was hurt because it was mainly Eco Styler but now im wondering if other products are doing the same thing. If you know of others, i think the curly community would appreciate the info love you! Thanks for always being an inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️
Frances Keller: Yessssssss!!!!!!! Arc angel gel is my fave and it works even better than the ultra for my thick curls
Jessica Sopolis: Beast mode!!!! Wow! You r amazing! Thanks for the tips! This is something I struggle with!
Ines B: Yes finallyy I feel like a curly gal we always put our hair first which sometimes is harmful for our bodies
Ossie R: My hair is wet after a workout, I do a very intense cardio/dance workout. I've only tried Devacurl B'leave-in. I also workout 5 days a week.
Shruti Krishna Iyengar: Any tips on how to wear your hair to the gym when its LONGGGG curly/wavy? I tried to put it in a pineapple once and it was just too much hair sitting on my head, got all over my face while i was jumping around and running and stuff. Everyone I see puts it up in a pineapple, but my hair is just so long, like down to my butt!
Ossie R: My hair gets very sweaty and I have an intense cardio class 4 times a week, mine gets straight at the roots too.
anitramic: Thank you for this video
Jazmine E: Your bangs are so long when wet.. that’s why you don’t cut curly hair while wet folks because you won’t even have bangs, you’ll end up with baby hairs sis
Gabby Newton: Suggestions for longer curly hair while working out? Struggling with my pineapple because it has started to hang down in my face. :(
Hillary Gardella: Thank you so much for this video!
Dee Mart: What dry shampoos do you recommend that are curly hair friendly since I sweat a lot? Also, what do you recommend for long hair when going to the gym and the pineapple doesn’t work? I always end up putting it in a bun with a baseball cap
EmmaJoycen: On a related note, Bianca, how do you protect your curls in the rain? I work outside and always wind up with a shapeless poof even in the most defined parts of my hair in humid (and especially rainy) weather. Any tips?
Lesley Weaver: When you search YT and your main girl Bianca comes through!!!! Thank you! ♥️
Fightergirl357: When u don’t even work out but you love Bianca so u watch the video anyway
Yesenia Trinidad: Thank you for another awesome video
kendallsq: You’re a life saver
kofiki: doing boxing class with a tight piece of headgear is always a joy! love the disgusting amount of sweat :)
Ciara Harvey: I definitely got more of a cast with ultra defining gel however I still get great lasting hair with absolutely no crunch with the arc angel gel
Ashley B: I find a loose low ponytail works fine. I'm a volleyball player and as long as I dont slick it down and just put it back when I take it out and scrunch a bit it looks back to normal
Ange N.O.: Soooooo, Zipper is great! Lol. GURL! Your curls bounced back like Juvenile! I have two 32oz Arc Angel gels just sitting in my cubby (sighs) I gotta get on it.
stephanie g: Love the arc angel gel :)
Karen Reeves: Arc Angel has more hold than the Ultra and Light Defining Gels. So I guess it is a matter of preference. When I first started my hair journey I did not like gels, now it is a way of life. LOL. As always your curls are gorgeous.
SimplyAngie43: Arc Angel gel makes my hair super dry. Paired it with different leave ins and curling creams but still leaves my hair dry.
Denise Gibson: THANK YOU!!! I have been dying for a video like this
Lindsey Zemla: Yessss thank you for this video!!!
Danielle Poole: Omg I was just complaining to my bf about this topic. I run everyday or every other sometimes and and I wasn’t understanding how I was gonna be able to make it to day 4-5 with out washing! I was like “where my curly haired lady’s at with their ethnic secrets?” This white girl didn’t have anyone who reallly understands 3ab curls and what needs to be done for them! Thanks for the advice. I just have a regular spray bottle with ph water that I refresh with. Where’d you get your bottle?!
Shanira: I switched to Arc Angel and LOVE it. It also gives me more more shine than Ultra.
BroadwayPhoenix: My hair knots far too easily for that! I condition it every day due to the massive knotting issues.
Amber Sharrow: defiantly happy you posted this video because I was looking it up yesterday.... I sweat BAD in my hair when I workout :(
Brittney Wright: Do you wait until your hair is dry until you take it down? this is what I always do out of fear that it’ll get frizzy or my curls will just stay straight from the ponytail
Jo L: Gr8 video! Ur hair looks fantastic
Tiffany 💋: I workout in the AM & PM MonWedFri so I just leave mine in a puff. I do tend to rewash in between. Can’t wait for my hair to be long enough for a pineapple..
Suzanne Aubin: I’m so sweaty after a workout my scalp needs to be washed/refreshed. My brain short circuits when I see curliest not having to wash their scalp
Tina Francesse: Hello thanks for all your cool videos (and very useful ofc)! I was wondering if before diffusing you add a product (on top of your gel) to protect your hair? This part I never get .... Also, Should the hair protection product be inserted before or after gel ??? :) Thanks again for everything. I can't wait to have my curls back as I am transitioning :)
Sebastian: Tbh, this is one of your best hair days ever ^-^
Evelyn Rodriguez: I have used both of the gels and both are great for "normal days", but on very humid Florida days I find myself not liking my curls after 3pm :-/ Still it is the only gel I use, since it is better than other ones I've tried.
Ashley Tillison: Do you go to the gym in the morning? If I workout in the afternoon should I refresh before I go to bed or just leave my hair in a pineapple till the morning?
Levona Rdechor: I love the arc angel gel, it’s like magic
Krystalina Media: Excited to try the pray and scrunch method
Iris Gutierrez: Would you ever review the Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner? I recently bought some before I found out that they contained silicones! Ahh! They still have amazing reviews though so I don't know if I should cancel my order or not
Cristal Molina: Defiantly loved this hair tip, but my hair is too long to put it up in a pineapple so I just use a satin scrunchy and put it up in a bun
