The newly released beachy waves hairstyling video by Gina went viral! The Real Housewives of Orange County star posted a video detailing her way of creating pretty waves with a rounded-edged straightener, and the world is just obsessed.

In the tutorial, Gina would chat with herself; she was all about those loose curls. “I could just talk to myself all day because everyone in here is saying that I do a great job talking to myself,” she laughed at the start of the clip. Classic Gina. She’d then proceed to describe what she was doing, basically admitting that sometimes she just finds doing hair boring. “My problem with doing my hair is I get bored. I want it to be done and I don’t care anymore,” she laughed. Could that be anyone else?
The comments went crazy asking all sorts of questions and showering her with complements. Many begged to know the products: One comment read, “What were the two hair products? Absolutely LOVE your videos! Links or names of products would be helpful.” Then there was this one: “Beautiful! Where can I find this flat iron?” People want to try it right this minute.
Amidst more questions, this advice came through from a pro. A Sassoon-certified salon stylist tossed in, “It’s a little bit extra of a step but the trick is to comb thru each section first so all the hair is smooth and glides through the pull when you curl.” Good tip for sure!
The funniest part was how many comments admitted to the same habit as Gina of talking to themselves. “I love talking to myself lol I find it comforting,” confessed one. Another: “Omg!!!! I get bored doing my hair too!!!” Clearly, Gina tapped into a universal truth about hair styling.
What really makes the post endearing is the very real Gina. She’s not trying to fool the world into thinking she’s some kind of flawless beauty guru; beauty is just another thing she is juggling, and here she is sharing the worn-down real life with all the flaws that we can all relate to. The caption says it better: “Let’s figure out beach waves together.” Not, “Here’s how to do perfect beach waves,” just “Let’s figure this out.” That kind of humility definitely hit a soft spot with many.
The video was basically Gina working as she went, not some glitzy polished and edited tutorial. At some point, she says, “I’m gonna try to create a bend in my hair with the hot tool, the straightener… You know me look like I can’t figure out like what the trick is to this.” Then when she thinks it might be working: “Oh, maybe that’s good… I think it’s working though.” That whole trial-and-error thing really opened it all up.
Several commenters had all the compliments for Gina doing her own hair, nails and makeup. “You always look on point rather it be casual or glam,” said one fan. And they’re not lying – Gina always just kills it, whether she’s on RHOC or doing these casual vibes, whilst keeping it real about doing the work.
The post has definitely hit a very real note with tons of engagement from people either wanting to know Gina’s full routine or just appreciating her no-frills take on beauty. It is a fresh breath compared to the overproduced stuff we see so much of, and that’s proof that sometimes those really relatable posts where celebs reveal they’re just winging it with the rest of us are the ones that get loved the most.
Her constant questioning about products? Maybe that means she will do a follow-up post with that entire routine; until then, people have got to experiment on their own with their rounded-edge straighteners and beach wave tries. One thing is sure, Gina made it so fun and effortless that maybe we should all really start trying to talk to ourselves while doing our hair.
Additionally, Gina has been known to share various beauty routines, further engaging her audience and ensuring they are invested in her journey. It’s always delightful to see her get candid with followers!

In a celebratory note, she also took time to recognize friendships on social media, as seen in her heartfelt post marking eight years of friendship: Gina truly values her relationships as much as her beauty regimen.
