Hi Lenora. I’ve been watching your videos for about a month. Love your candid and honest comments. I use the Luxe products in my hair. I also purchased a Bellisima dryer. I put the same amount of product in my hair and styled it with the hair dryer. I really like the way my hair looks. I’m going to buy the products you mentioned in this video to see how my hair does. I’ll let you know. I have thin hair with lots of gray coming in. You have really encouraged me to let my hair curl. Thanks♥️
I initially watched this video because I was interested in Innersense products, but seeing the way you style your hair without sectioning and brushing was so refreshing to see. I have since subscribed and am watching your past videos.
Best curls yet on you, beautiful. I so enjoy your UA-cam channel and you are adorable. Thank you for being an excellent teacher. Going to go click on some of your links.
Lenora, I love your videos. I’m concerned about so many products you introduce. I just ordered the regimen you highlighted Garnier Fructis and now you’re recommending something different. I realize it is what works for the individual. I hope I haven’t ordered a lot of product I won’t be using!!!! Thank you.
Garnier is amazing. I love it and think you will too. Innersense is ALSO amazing and has become my very favorite product for hold and no frizz. Each week I try new products to see how they do. Some I like, some I don’t. And they are all different. Garnier checks just about all the boxes. Innersense is perfect, except I use a lot of it, I wonder if I can use less, I can feel it in my hair in a whole different way than other products. And then this weeks video will come out with an awesome product that is also super affordable but completely different. Trying different products really helps you see what works best for you. Keep your receipts, you can return most everything.
@@undeniably_lenora Thank you! I understand what you are saying and really the reason for your channel. I so appreciate you! For the first time, probably in my life, I am allowing my hair to be its curly self. This is a whole new world for me!!! No more pulling and tugging, with a round brush and blow dryer, for it to be straight, only to return a short while later to its natural curly self.
Innersense lasts for days for me too! I’ve learned I can mix I create volume with some other creams I have on hand, but I create memory did not mix. Forewarning, if you get the I create definition foam it is a less is more product! Too much and you won’t be able to crunch your curls out. It’s great as a topper to hold my style though.
Your hair really does look fantastic! I saw the short video, looked at the price, and said to myself that I’m not spending that much. Now, of course I’m tempted. I can also see how addictive it is to keep trying different products. I really have tried looking for ones in a lower price range, and I’m pretty happy, but not quite there. Good to see you spray after the clips are in. I was wondering if I could do that.
Thank you! There are great affordable products out there. But these are my all-time favorites in terms of hold and no frizz. Try the 2 ounce bottles sometime.
Innersense I Create Hold is my all time favorite gel! Well……I have others but this is the only one I buy in the 32oz refills in multiple lol can’t mix it with anything!!! It balls up and gets gross! ❤😂
Love your curls! I have low density, fine, high porosity curls and refreshing is always a challenge for me. The biggest issue I have is sleeping. No matter what I use, it leaves marks or gets flat and hard to get definition back. What is the yellow thing you had on prior to refreshing? Is that a headband that you sleep with?
Inner sense is my favorite! I can go 7 days without refreshing. If I do decide to refresh, I just add a little water and scrunch and it’s perfect. I use curl memory, I create volume, the moisture shampoo, conditioner, sweet spirit leave in. I also love the detox and hair mask.
Hi!! My current fave water is in a 40 oz cup: 2 packets orange crush, 1 packet Sunkist lime, and a splash of sugar free vanilla syrup. Fake Mountain Dew. How about you?
Have you done a vid on Love Ur Curls shampoo/conditioner and then the 3rd product that you choose for your type of curl... I looked thru your vids and haven't seen one on it 😁 The ingredients and what's not in their products is what I like
@@undeniably_lenora Thought I replied to you but I don't see it. Weird 😊 So just their shampoo and conditioner (for all hair types) and then the 3rd bottle where you choose coily curly or wavy (you put that on and dry your hair). But I'm seeing how you LUVZ your hair product in and this 3rd bottle only won't be enough I'm thinking for you lol On my comment that dissapeared, I asked how do you determine if you're curly or wavy? Do you just wash your hair and let it dry without any product and then you see how it dries to determine if you're curly or wavy? I'm def not coily Reason is, if I buy from LUS, they ask what type of curl you are for the 3rd product and I'm not sure if I'm curly or wavy... And... that was me that asked you about windy days ha ha! 😆 Here's their website lusbrands.com/products/all-in-one-styler-curly
Hello windy friend!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Literally, right after you asked that question, it was so windy here in Nashville and we had a photo shoot, it was insane. And I thought of you as I cried! 🤣🤣🤣 I love this article in Allure that helps explain curl types: www.allure.com/gallery/curl-hair-type-guide Different products make my hair curlier or wavier. It just depends. But my hair is not straight. If I let my hair air dry with no products it is slightly wavy and frizzy. But when I use products and do all the things I do I can get curl, volume, sometimes more wave. The video that will be out next week is a fantastic product and my hair is not as curly. But I’m getting tons of compliments! I haven’t tried LUS yet because I don’t believe in buying a preset bundle. And I don’t believe in one product for all the things! You know I love to mix things together. But I am going to order it, it’s on sale right now! And give it a try. Thank you for following up and for commenting! 🩷🩷🩷
Mio drops for water in berry pomegranate flavor are AMAZING! Also, have you tried the Ouidad volumizing jelly and moisture lock leave-in? If so, how do you feel they stack up against other products?
I have not tried the Mio drops!! I’ll go get some! I have not used that particular product in Ouidad. What I did try, I didn’t like, there’s a video on here somewhere about it. But I’ve heard that I need to try their anti-humidity products or something like that. So it’s on my list.

Hi! Thank you! Currently I am using Redken and I mix 4Nch and 6Nch with 40 volume. Sometimes I have a few highlights, and sometimes I do some low lights. So there’s leftover things going on in there also! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for mentioning the PM Skinny serum. Silicones have become a dirty word in the curly community. However, everyone is different and ingredients have their place. If my hair needs silicone, I use one drop of the skinny serum, rub it on my palms and wipe some off on a towel before applying to my hair. It’s so concentrated and the bottle lasts forever. Never had a problem with buildup. I shampoo twice and use a clarifying shampoo when appropriate. Oils and butters cause buildup for me and I have to avoid. Again, everyone is different. P.S. The Aerogel is discounted on Amazon for Black Friday. I have been hesitant to try as I don’t want to destroy my bathroom surfaces with the fallout. I’ll think about it 🤔
Thank you so much for your comment! I agree! As for the hairspray, I lean my head over in the shower to spray it so I don’t get it all over my bathroom!
Great question. I pull it up in a big padded headband and then put a shower cap over that.

Simply smooth the one u have here in the video has a white cap it’s water down and liquidy and white in color BUT the TRUE SS has a sliver / gray cap the product is purplish , thicker product been using this for 20 years …. I have extra bottles of it I luv it I purchased on in line and got the white cap There’s a 100% of a quality difference
I can’t explain why it’s different, but I order it straight from the manufacturer. I’m a professional hairstylist. I’ve been using it for over 20 years as well. And the product does have a purpleish color.
@ yes if u have an older one it will b gray lid / spray the product will b purple & thick The white lid / spray is a very lite purple & thinner much thinner like it’s two different products
I only get the one color bottle from the supplier. And the product consistency has always been the same for me. Interesting that you’ve run across variances. The last time I placed an order I actually spoke with the owner of the company. Where are you purchasing?
Aerogel amzn.to/40wEMOj THE HOLY GRAIL hair spray!!!! The link above is affiliated which means I receive an affiliate commission for any purchases made by you on the affiliate website using such links. Your support means everything!
I don’t love how the aerogel makes my hair feel. This may sound stupid but I don’t like how it feels like I have hairspray in my hair. My hair doesn’t feel soft. It feels well, like there’s hairspray in it. Lol I thought it wouldn’t feel that way based on how she talks about it. I bought a large can but I’m not sure how much I’ll actually use it. 🤷♀️
Aww you don’t sound stupid! Aerogel is a hairspray, just not like other sprays. It’s a medium hold that doesn’t build up. Try it and scrunch it in. You CAN feel it but for me it’s not like other sprays. And it helps my curls look amazing. As always, you have to find what works for you. 🥰
You can mix volume and hold and/ or curl memory in your WET palm but you have to mix in water with a spray bottle or so before you mix the products in your hands ... i do it often. With innersense you have to "awaken" the products with water and rubbing your hands together before applying. Have fun!
@@undeniably_lenoraOh, and I do drink water throughout the day and I like to switch it up too and drink electrolytes water after my workouts, flavored water and even flavored seltzer.
Hmmm i’ve never heard that and I flip my head over. I also asked my client to flip their hair over when I’m diffusing their hair. I find that if you don’t flip it’s harder to get that volume. Give it a try!
But have you mixed all three together? A girlfriend of mine actually recommended this to me. After I told her how much I love it, she told me that it only lasts one day for her. And I’m like oh girl, you need to mix all the things!
I like the shampoo and conditioner but most of their styling products just leave my hair frizzy. The only one that works for my hair is the volumizing foam.

I love Super Skinny! I use it every time I straighten my hair! I never thought about using it when I leave it curly, I'll give it a try!
It works wonders on curls too! 🤩🤩🤩
Inner sense is my favorite! I can go 7 days without refreshing. If I do decide to refresh, I just add a little water and scrunch and it’s perfect. I use curl memory, I create volume, the moisture shampoo, conditioner, sweet spirit leave in. I also love the detox and hair mask.
I just ordered a bunch of full size products but I didn’t get the mask yet!!
Innersense are one of the best brands that are pretty much very clean
So true!!
I love Innersense! Their Quiet Calm curl cream is an amazing leave-in.
What is your favorite flavored water?
Hi!!
My current fave water is in a 40 oz cup: 2 packets orange crush, 1 packet Sunkist lime, and a splash of sugar free vanilla syrup. Fake Mountain Dew.
How about you?
@@undeniably_lenora , I like using the True Lemon & True Lime packets! I also like the Cirkul flavors.
Thank you!
You added highlights to your hair. I ❤ it!!! The leave in mask, is it made to be left in?
I did! Good eye!
No, the mask is not intended to be left in. But I have done it for years.

You are welcome!!
I love innersence I wish they were a little less expensive BUT they are absolutely worth it
I know, right? 🤩🤩🤩
I’m looking forward buying more minis on Black Friday.

I haven’t tried that yet, I will put it on my list!

@@undeniably_lenoraOh, and I do drink water throughout the day and I like to switch it up too and drink electrolytes water after my workouts, flavored water and even flavored seltzer.

I’ve always been told flipping your hair over disrupts the natural curl pattern…?
Hmmm i’ve never heard that and I flip my head over. I also asked my client to flip their hair over when I’m diffusing their hair. I find that if you don’t flip it’s harder to get that volume. Give it a try!
I've tried this brand multiple times and I'm always disappointed.

I like the shampoo and conditioner but most of their styling products just leave my hair frizzy. The only one that works for my hair is the volumizing foam.
For me, I had the least amount of frizz ever with these products. They are my tippy top all time faves.
