Maya ( The CEO of The Doux) she said stylers cannot give you moisture, that comes from the shampoo step. Her products are specifically formulate to be a one and done or you can use two products to get the desired results your looking (mostly with Mousse Deff). Her formulas are not for consumers who want instant gratification products. Her products rely heavily on your hair being moisturized from inside out, not outside in. Basically, if your hair is dry after you used The Doux products, it was dry before you used them. I hate to admit it, but it is true. It took 4 months for me to use Mousse Deff on its own. I had to used it on top of UFD because my hair was dehydrated. I returned Big Poppa because I felt it wasn't fair to judge a product based on my hair's dehydration. I recently repurchased Big Poppa to see if it gives me the desired look I want to accomplish. I plan on using it this weekend.
❤️ this comment!! I used the big poppa gel on top of Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic for my wash and go’s and they turn out beautiful every time. It took me a while to understand my hair. Two of the biggest changes I made was making sure to shampoo the hair well. And I stopped using oils. Changed my life. 🤗 I know neither one is popular in the natural hair community but it made such a difference. Oh there’s one more thing, I apply the styling products on soaking wet hair while in the shower. My hair loves this process. It takes on the stylers so well when the hair is really wet. And believe it or not the hair stops dripping once the products are on the hair. It’s like magic.
I'm the same way. My hair in the back half gets super defined and clumped with ANYTHING I use. That top half just does some different stuff, but I love both sides of the family...lol
Ok, so most of the times it's not the products we use, it's the state that our hair is in. If your hair is dehydrated, this could be the main reason why you're feeling like products aren't working anymore, or it's hard to find ones that work anymore.
I purchased the Mousse Def kit and I felt the same way. My hair was dry as hell after it dried. I've tried Melanin and I love it so far. I've tried all 4 products and I think I'm just going to stick to that. I did learn that some products do not like my colored hair AT ALL, so that could be some of the issue, for me, with Mousse Def, but I doubt it.
Sib, this is EXACTLY what my hair has been doing lately--looks good but DRY AS HELL!!! I don't know what's happened to my hair unless my December annual flat iron has completely changed me to a High-Po natural! I'm on a search for new stuff as well since Mane Choice changed their formulas. My first attempt was actually with the Melanin, and my hair aint like that either, looked good but dry in four days. Next was Naturalicious--one day. I haven't even taken my twists out from last Friday's wash (Soulicious rice buttah shampoo, Aunt Jackie's Leave-In, As I Am Twist Cream) 'cause I'm scared I'ma have to wash my hair AGAIN this week. Look forward to following your quest!
Definitely looks gorgeous as usual! It could be your water too. Camille Rose never fails me! My favorite styler is the aloe whipped gel! I love most of her products! The honey leave in is AMAZING and plays well though you may have a bit of a learning curve figuring out what amount works best for your hair! TGIN works well though I usually have to retwist. Adwoa Is good as too!
I myself love Big Boppa, always have and surprisingly it doesn't make my hair dry. This gel just isn't for your hair. I will say that twist out was rocking
I didn't like this gel when I first time using it. The hair need to be soaking wet so I did it in the shower. I've use it with a leave it (kinky curly knot today ) and without it. I has a lot of protéin like the mousse. Maybe that's where the de dryness come from'. It's getting difficult to find products of different brands that work’well together
Have you thought about making your sections smaller? I don’t think you need more gel , just take one of your 4 sessions and with your index finger section off and then put your product in. Your hair is growing out fast.
I used that gel. I hated the smell first of all. When my hair dried it was dry as hell. I will only use it to slick my hair down when I wear it in a bun. It's only good for that. Not sure why it has received so many good reviews
OMG! FINALLY, SOMEONE ELSE THAT HAD THE SAME RESULTS AS ME! My hair totally dried out..i mean seriously, it was bone dry. I keep trying different iterations and combinations, but these products do not work for me. My hair is dyed, so I hear that might be the issue. But they should say that on the products, that it's not for color treated hair. I wanted to love it, but I didn't! 😥
The Doux has never worked for me. I don't like it at all. But I do love your twist out and that light pink top that you have on!! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that shirt from?
Great video. Can you give us an update on how you are liking Nashville. Do you plan on living there long term, etc? Melanin haircare (leave in and oil) are my favorites right now :-).
@@160Days2Lose2 I’m excited about your thoughts on Nashville. I’m considering moving there this summer from NC. I’ve been looking in Smyrna, Spring Hill, Hermitage, and Lebanon. I even looked in Hendersonville.
it works so well on my hair!!! I have to use a lot. You have like 4 times the amount of hair as me so you probably have to use the whole jar lol I just rewatched
I love big hair. Your hair came out looking Gorg. The bigger the hair, the better. Those products, the mousse and gel, are great for about 2-3 days. Then it's a wrap. Like your results, it left my hair dry after 2-3 days. I would stick to the products that work for you. For me, I will continue to use Blue Magic Grease and the Wetline Gel to get a long-lasting wash n go and big hair.
I love the mousse. I just used it with the pop lock gel in that line. I want to get the big poppa gel. Also try to put a leave in and oil so it won’t have the dry feeling.
The Doux did not work for me either. My hair was so dry and it took some time to wash them out my hair. I used them up because I bought them but NEVER again. My hair was not happy and it took me some time to get my hair right again.
Doesn’t it hurt your heart when your hair looks great but it’s dry as hell. I’m loc’d and I love gorilla snot for setting and the African pride moisture miracle mousse.
I just put it in high puff. It stretches the curls out so I don’t mind it at all. When I get back I put a plastic cap over the curls at the top when I get in the shower. I’m usually able to get 6 day hair with my fav products.
Twist out was gorg! I have one question: Where'd you get that size, continuous spray bottle? I haven't come across them that big, and mine stopped working 😒
@CharyJay OMG, thank you for responding so quickly. I thought it would be weeks, lol. Eeeekk, thank you so much, and happy you're doing well and continuing to invest in yourself! Your strength is everything! I hope for nothing but great things for you!

Still loving the thickness! I got so tired of trying out new products 😩.
I'm the same way. My hair in the back half gets super defined and clumped with ANYTHING I use. That top half just does some different stuff, but I love both sides of the family...lol
The back of my hair is defined the top is always frizzy. I’m trying to embrace all the textures

The twist out came out so pretty🥰. I’ve been a Subscriber of yours for years and I always enjoy the NeoSoul music you have in your videos 💜
Thanks so much for the support over the years!!

I love your hair 😍 and I can relate to the dryness...I bought the mousse and did a twist out and it was supa dry. I can't do the Doux.
Thanks boo!

There is a lot of protein in both the gel and mousse so that may explain the dry feeling.
Definitely looks gorgeous as usual! It could be your water too. Camille Rose never fails me! My favorite styler is the aloe whipped gel! I love most of her products! The honey leave in is AMAZING and plays well though you may have a bit of a learning curve figuring out what amount works best for your hair! TGIN works well though I usually have to retwist.

My next review will be on Adwoa. I got their products as a bday gift from my bestie and I love them!
So nice seeing your beautiful face. Awesome vid, thanks for sharing.
I myself love Big Boppa, always have and surprisingly it doesn't make my hair dry. This gel just isn't for your hair. I will say that twist out was rocking
It has keratin in it, so if you are sensitive to protein that could be why it's dry.
My favorite wash and go product is leave in - Miche, styling for my wash and go is UFD first then add wetline extreme. I also like Whitley’s products.
I love the volume of your hair with the big Poppa and the moose
I tried them and my hair is healthy and moisturized and these products dry my hair out. I wanted to like them.
I like pattern, melanin and the doux. With the doux a I put olive oil on after its dry, works great.
I didn't like this gel when I first time using it. The hair need to be soaking wet so I did it in the shower. I've use it with a leave it (kinky curly knot today ) and without it. I has a lot of protéin like the mousse. Maybe that's where the de dryness come from'. It's getting difficult to find products of different brands that work’well together
6 day old hair looks great to me!!! Love the color as well.
I use that combo but I put the mousse on first and then the gel and it leaves my hair soft but with a hold. I make sure my hair is soaking wet.

Same problem but was amazing once I used a leave in. Conditioner. I used the mane and tail biotin leave in conditioner now I love the mouse.
Yes Melanin is my go to and Kinky curly knot today. Holy grails!!! Where did you get your pink top?
It's from Eloquii.
The Doux has never worked for me. I don't like it at all. But I do love your twist out and that light pink top that you have on!! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that shirt from?
Great video. Can you give us an update on how you are liking Nashville. Do you plan on living there long term, etc? Melanin haircare (leave in and oil) are my favorites right now :-).
Yes! Great video idea. I’ll do this in April! 😉
@@160Days2Lose2 I’m excited about your thoughts on Nashville. I’m considering moving there this summer from NC. I’ve been looking in Smyrna, Spring Hill, Hermitage, and Lebanon. I even looked in Hendersonville.
Came out beautiful! 🌸
Your twists are so cute! 😍
I love your reviews!
Thanks boo! This was fun to make. I just wish the results were different.
it works so well on my hair!!! I have to use a lot. You have like 4 times the amount of hair as me so you probably have to use the whole jar lol I just rewatched
Kyla!! 😂😂😂😂 I’m definitely not doing all that. I’m glad it worked for you tho!!

I love the re twist with you always love dope
I love the mousse. I just used it with the pop lock gel in that line. I want to get the big poppa gel. Also try to put a leave in and oil so it won’t have the dry feeling.
The leave-in made me get those white balls. Can’t use it with this product.
Have you tried the 30 day detox, no raw oils and butter. You will get completely different results with the same products. Love you hair!
Hmmm. I haven’t. I will look into it! Thanks!
My favorite products for a good twist out is, Aunt Jackie's curl lala and olive miracle leave in conditioner by African Pride.
I love the twist out version - did you use the big poppa & foam combo?
I use c.r.e.a.m. with big poppa
You need to get a moisturizing lotion to moisturized the hair so it’s not that dry
Oooh!! I like this!
The Doux did not work for me either. My hair was so dry and it took some time to wash them out my hair. I used them up because I bought them but NEVER again. My hair was not happy and it took me some time to get my hair right again.
Oh wow! I’m sorry that you had such a negative reaction to it! It’s crazy how some people have such amazing results.
Doesn’t it hurt your heart when your hair looks great but it’s dry as hell.
I’m loc’d and I love gorilla snot for setting and the African pride moisture miracle mousse.
It’s the worst! 😩😂
Just curious if you ever considered locs.
I think the moose NO.But I Love love hair. Good.luck.
What did you use for the twist out CharyJay?
Try it with quomet or original moxi
Your hair looks beautiful! How do you maintain your hair while working out?
I just put it in high puff. It stretches the curls out so I don’t mind it at all. When I get back I put a plastic cap over the curls at the top when I get in the shower. I’m usually able to get 6 day hair with my fav products.
Twist out was gorg! I have one question: Where'd you get that size, continuous spray bottle? I haven't come across them that big, and mine stopped working 😒
I got it from Sally’s!
@CharyJay OMG, thank you for responding so quickly. I thought it would be weeks, lol. Eeeekk, thank you so much, and happy you're doing well and continuing to invest in yourself! Your strength is everything! I hope for nothing but great things for you!
You’re beautiful CharyJay!!!!!!
Like it😍
Have you tried Koils by Nature?
A very long time ago. They did well on my hair.
Hello!
Add a cream/butter or oil to combat the dryness
Pretty
I have seen your hair better with other products
Congratulations on working with a therapist!
Thank you. I’m so excited 😁
The doux gel works best for me with the doux cowash and leaves it feeling soft.
