I Tried My Umberto Giannini Hair Routine, and My Curls Feel Super Soft

Umberto Giannini sent me complimentary products to try. These are my first impressions.

I spent most of my life with long, straight hair. Now I’m in my late forties, my hair has waves and curls, and I’m learning an entirely different way to take care of it.

Apparently my hair had another plan. I’m catching up.

Last night, I finally tried all four of the products Umberto Giannini sent me. I did a little plopping, used a diffuser, and went for the whole routine.

My hair feels super soft. It’s so good.

My first Umberto Giannini wash-day experience

I’d been nervous about trying everything. There is a lot to learn when the hair you knew how to handle starts doing something different.

But I used all four products, did a little plopping, and diffused. That’s the routine I tried for this first go, and I’m really happy with it.

The softness is the part I keep coming back to. I’m still figuring out my curls, but having a result I actually like makes me want to keep learning.

I’m learning what works for my current hair

My hair is shorter now, with layers and bangs. I’m figuring out how to work with the waves and curls I have today, after years of having straight hair.

This is one experience with the four products together. I can tell you how my hair feels, but I can’t separate out what each individual product did after using the whole routine at once.

And I’m not going to pretend one wash tells me how it will hold up through every future hair day. Right now, my first impression is simple: I tried the products, plopped a little, diffused, and my hair feels super soft.

That’s a pretty good place to start Suddenly Curly.
