Glad you enjoy the content 😃. I don't have too much experience with clay treatments, but the pumpkin one I mentioned in the video, I feel helps to reset my hair when it has been acting out of sorts.

I don't have too much experience with them myself, but I do feel like they kind of help reset my hair.

Interesting! I really won't be using this on a very regular basis at all, so I don't think that would be too big of a concern for dry hair (and that could even be a benefit for me in the summer). As far as coloring concerns with henna, I was concerned, but I saw no issues with only using it only once.

I'm so glad you found this helpful! 😃

As always, thank you for watching! I agree that a trim may have helped. A couple of weeks after recording this I actually did get about 1 inch trimmed off. 🙂

Thanks, but this wasn't one of my favorite washday results.

@@lifeoffinecurls i know you didn't like it. But, it came out so nice🙂

I'm glad you found the review helpful!

No, those prices are for the full size. Sorry, I should have clarified that.

@ 😊 l wonder how big the full size bottles are… the results are good, your hair looks amazing all the time!

What ibused for shampoo and conditioner are both 12oz full size. The Spiral lotion is 8 oz, and the Pattern Pusha is 16oz.

😃

I definitely have some further thoughts on the stylers that I will share in my video on Tues. 🙂

I prefer a dry (finishing) aerosol hairspray, over a wet (working) spray every time. My favorite brand is TRESemmé Extra Hold hairspray. I only use it on dry hair. It is affordable, and it gives fine hair a little grit for volume and hold.

Thankfully, I do feel like the vibrant fall colors were extended a little bit more this year, but it's always sad to see them go.

Oh wow 😃, you've tried a lot of the stuff I haven't. It's good to hear other's thoughts and experiences. I've heard a lot of good things about the Rizos foam as well.

I agree, I don't see much about them online. Thanks for your input. 😊

That's strange that the Evolvh curl line would be drying. Often times curl lines from brands focus on moisture. I'll try to keep that in mind if I do end up purchasing from that brand. Yes, I have tried the MC Pink Lemonade line. I'm pretty sure it was in the minter or early spring of 2023. I think it was okay, but I wasn't overly impressed (it's been a while though). Thanks for watching! 😀

​@@lifeoffinecurls Yeah, definitely get the Evolvh travel sizes so that you can test them out. Maybe my hair is just weird. 😆

I didn't realize Bread had trial sizes?!?

@ I got it in a curls monthly subscription

@kathyskurls That makes sense.

Well, I probably won't get to all of those in 2025, but they are definitely my top contenders. Now it's in the timing and sales.

Yes! I probably won't get to all of these because I will also have some other curly hair content series that I will be rotating with these.

@ l have been buying lots of products drugstore mostly, but l don’t know if they go bad! next year l will try not to buy more but use the ones l already have 😊 always looking forward to your content! very informative… thank you for taking of your time to share with us! 🙏

I have some drugstore products that have been on my shelf for 3-4 years. Some of them have kind of separated a bit, but most of them are still good. But everyone's comfort level on that is different.

Thank you for sharing what you would like to see and what you personally like! 😃

Thanks so much for sharing some of your thoughts and experiences. If you don't mind my asking, I am curious what your hair is like. How fine or course is it, and what do you think your porosity is? That helps me gauge a little on how products that work for you, may or may not work for me.

@ sure no problem, my hair is very fine in the front section, coarser in the back section with high porosity. I’m just learning how to select products and styling technique on this curly journey.

I have a travel size of the Pattern leave in that's supposed to be the bomb. Great slip and makes your hair very soft, but more than a very small amount would be too heavy for my short fine low density hair. I'm going to play around with tiny amounts and see if I can get it right. I will say you get a lot of product for a travel/sample size so this should last me forever.

Thank you for sharing what you're looking forward to. And yes, Curlmix is online at Ulta. I'm not sure if they are in store though.

Oh wow! Our summer wasn't exceptionally hot this year, but I don't really enjoy the 90s very much.

Thank you! It's been a lot of fun playing around with it.

I always love hearing from you; it seems like we have a lot in common 😊! When I filmed this video with my new camera I had it had it on the auto settings, and I like that, but I can make very few adjustments on that settings. So, in a few upcoming videos, I cange things up a bit. I just filmed my stash video, and I think I'm finally getting a better feel for what I like. Good for you rocking your confidence with or without make 😃! Some days I honestly love playing around with makeup and other days I can't be bothered. I've tried tinted moisturizer, but I can only use it in the cooler months. Otherwise, the oils (and sweat) from my skin just break it down way too fast. I remember Valerie Bartinelli from Touched by an Angel. My family and I used to love watching that show.

@lifeoffinecurls oops, I meant yo say that, I know the Lord loves me with or without makeup...

Lol, I figured out what you meant. 😄

😊

😄 I heard the audio a while ago, and knew exactly what I wanted to use it for.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Anytime I do affordable products it seems to be pretty popular. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! What do you like to pair your Hask curl cream with?

I haven't tried any It's A 10 products. I see their leave-in or cream often, but I don't ever remember seeing a mousse 🤔. I should take a closer look at what all that brand carries. I know it kind of pricey.

@@lifeoffinecurls There are pricey for mine liking, too. If you don't see them at Marshalls or TJ Maxx, I will otherwise get them at my CVS, only because I'm an Extracare card member & get lots of coupons & savings. If you're not a paying member, which is only $48/year & you'll get $10 coupon every month, besides all the other savings offers they give you. I get almost all my beauty & health stuff there.

@@simplycurlyde I've never been much of one to shop at CVS. I've heard they have good coupons. But between doing my regular shopping at Walmart, Kroger and Aldi, I don't know that I want to make another store as part of my regular routine. But thanks for letting me know! 😃

I use an extra large cotton t-shirt. 🙂

Thank you, but trust me, it has its days. 😏

Yes, that is a very great simple routine. I honestly love the mixing and switching a variety of products, so I enjoy trying two and sometimes tree stlyers. There are many, though, that need more moisture than what most gels can give. So a leave-in conditioner or a cream is necessary for their hair needs. Then there are some with extremely fine low density hair, that a gel just makes their hair look weighed down; so they prefer to use a mousse or foam instead.

I cast is great, and I love getting one. If that's what works for you keep it up! Looser curl patterns can especially benefit from getting a cast. I have made some softer products (no cast) work for my hair, and I can make them last longer by using hairspray.

That's good to know. I don't feel like much has gone down in price these days. 😃

That's interesting that the mousse makes your hair dry using it multiple times in a row. You're the second person to want to see the mousse and hairspray combo, so it looks like I'll be doing that. I did a Marc Anthony Strictly Curls review of the cream and mousse last year, but they didn't have the flaxseed gel at the time. Is it something new, or has my store just not been carrying it? I probably won't review thar gel anytime soon though.

@@lifeoffinecurls I believe it is new. SwavyCurlyCourtney reviewed it recently and I found it in Amazon. Personally my hair hated it, I was just curious what you thought.

I hope it was helpful, and thank you for watching! 😊

Thank you for watching. I'd love to know which products are your favorite from TRESemmé.

@@simplycurlyde I’ll have to check out the Marc Anthony line. I have so many products in my cupboard - I don’t know if I should be using a single line or mixing and matching different brands. I do love TreLuxe and I own a LOT of Curlsmith.

@@joelyisdoingherbest 😆 you're not alone. I have a lot of products too that are waiting to be tried.

It's always good to hear your thoughts and experiences with products. I have tried Marc Anthony's Strictly Curls stlyers, but only the cream and mousse. They didn't have a gel at my store. I did the review last year, and I'll leave it linked here. ua-cam.com/video/Ws2HlGvz57A/v-deo.html

@joelyisdoingherbest I mix and match my brands very often. If you watch some of my Chat With Me episodes share a lot of that mixing and matching process. Also, in 2025, I plan to have a new series where my husband picts my products, and I'm sure there will be some mixing and matching there too.

@@lifeoffinecurls great! Thx for the link.

😆 you're not alone. I think we've all been there. It's been 4 years since I started this journey and I still haven't figured out what works well for my hair. I think I'm getting close though.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I generally like to style on very wet hair, but I've never done it in the shower. One, I don't want to hang out in the shower that long. Two, it may be a little too wet for my preference (which can cut down on hold and concentration of products). And three, I like to style in front of a mirror. I keep a continuous mist spray bottle by my side when styling, and you may not always see it, but my hair is very wet. The top part of my robe is soaked, and my hair is one stage shy of dripping. Every curly has different preferences and needs when deciding how wet to style. Some prefer more damp, which can give more hold and concentration to your products, but for some people, it can cause more stringy looking curls. Others, like myself, like to style on very wet hair to encourage bigger juicier curl clumps to form. And some like to style on dripping wet hair (in the shower) for Curl clumps, less product concentration, and maybe convenience. If you have very fine, easily weighed down hair, this might be a good option. Sorry for such a long-winded response 😁, but it's best to just play around with these different methods and see which you like best.

@@lifeoffinecurls thank you for your help!

Yes, I do plan to show my product stash in Dec 😄. There will be multiple videos because I want to reorganize it based on product categories. And thank you for your recommendations for the Evolvh brand. I do have a whole video dedicated to what I want to try in 2025, and that video will be coming out in early November.

@@lifeoffinecurls Sounds like you've got some good videos coming up. 😀

I'm glad it was helpful!

Thank you! I loved my results, and can't wait to use it again. 😀

Thank you! I totally recommend this one. 😄

Yes! In one of my recent videos (I think my CWM) I mentioned my messy bun, and someone said they would like to see a short/reel on it. So I thought, "why not?" It's an easy video to make.

Great! Thanks for watching.
