Great review Bethany! I’ve used a bunch of Mielle products but hadn’t heard of the other brand. Also, Mielle 7th anniversary sale ends 5/24, but right now everything is $5.99 including this styling gel, so perfect timing!
@@thebethmethod I’ve tried most of the collections, but my favorite that I use all the time is the Rosemary Mint oil. The Pomegranate & Honey is. My second favorite! We have the shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and edge control. Then we’ve tried the Moisture Rx, and love that collection too lol. You really can’t go wrong with her products honestly. 🤗
The reason why the Camille Rose Curl Maker is more expensive is because it has expensive, gourmet high-quality ingredients (marshmallow root, pectin, seaweed powder, nettle) whereas Mielle's version has pretty basic and cheaper ingredients hence is why it's half the price, as it should. With Camille Rose you're getting what you're paying for in those gourmet ingredients, we can't expect a product with those ingredients to be super cheap, yes the price is high but also fair at the same time.
@@Kickingwitshamz I did very extensive research too, and Camille Rose checks out. Maybe you’re thinking about a different line. Or maybe you’re a competitor looking to spread rumors? 🤷🏽♀️
If you live in a highly humid climate like my city, Lagos, in Nigeria, Mielle is better because it has synthetic polymers which are anti-humidity proof.
Okay, the Mielle Ginger gel is really drying on my hair. As for the curl maker,by Camille Rose. It is really nourishing, I remember it use to go for 14.99. I noticed ever since Ice Spice featured the gel in her music video, the price sky rocketed. Regardless to say I’m still on a hunt for a great non drying gel.
I love her pomegranate and honey leave in conditioner, with the honey ginger styling gel. The moisture in my hair last for the entire week using that combo!
Which leave-in conditioner did you use? How a leave-in conditioner reacts with the other products can make a difference (we want the one you've proved herein works).
@@thebethmethod One question... why don't I have a BOSTON sweatshirt? LOL! I love it! Represent!🤣 It's a Bostin' swet...sherrt! Hear my accent? Bo...stin!!! Pawwk tha CAHHH! (Park the car) I know its terrible but this is normal around here. Ha! Keep rockin' the Boston threads! Haha... old school. Ok...catch you in a bit. Hi to your sister!!! God bless you. Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
@@thebethmethod Message me if you ever make it to our area...I will bring you to CAPE COD and give you a tour of the beaches and historical sights. It would be AWESOME. God bless! Lynne🍃💜🍃
To be fair, hair naturally grows more on one side than the other (due to hair actually growing in a spiral) so the side with Mielle could be the side that has more hair which then gives the illusion of more volume.
Camille rose is my HG gel, to me its side looks better. I have coarse and dry and ğrotein sensitive hair. Every other gel I have tired dried my hair. Only Camille rose doesn’t dry out my hair. Uncle funky has changed its formula, the new formula is crap and turned my hair to straw but the old formula very good and was very similar to Camille Rose.
CURRENTLY im trying mielle I have not tried camilla but i have tried cantu , shea moisture and many others anx stopped using because they made my hair dry & brittle sooo yeah now im trying all mielle
Your hair came out AMAZING!! Very similar lol, I totally feel you as far as products go! I’m curious about what leave in you used? Mines did NOT go well with the Camille Rose. Looking for suggestions!
If you don’t like the ginger smell you will probably not like that one, it has a pretty strong smell of ginger/lemon. But yes girl, I agree! CurlMaker never disappoints!
Bethany... HI! I told everyone I was busy and had to keep working on our home remodel... until.... (drumroll🥁) you're video showed up! All of a sudden, I needed a BREAK and I just started! LOL! Great video! Thank you again. I had curls two days in a row. Today my hair is straight again... just wanted to style it differently. I like the curls though... so easy to accomplish. I was able to leave our home faster. I am not exactly sure what you did first ... wash, then apply leave in conditioner... then the curl maker? If so, can you share what leave in conditioner you use? I never bought that and I just turned 54!!! You are teaching me my friend. Also... do you towel dry in between applying products a bit? Sorry...all new to me. My friends said... how did you get curls? Wow! I said it's my natural hair after I wash it... SHOCKED FACES! LOL! Be back soon! Thanks in advance. I'm so happy God blessed me with you and your videos. So enjoyable. Got to go get something done in our home...lol. Unless you post another video!🤣 GOD BLESS YOU! Peace, love, curls and fancy dance moves, Lynne🍃💜🍃
LOL! I. Feel honored!! Thank you! I’m glad you tried out your natural curls! And yes, that is the order I used. I believe I used the Jozi curls leave in conditioner this day, And no, I actually add MORE water using a spray bottle. IT helps with definition.thank you for all your kind words Lynne! Let me know if you have more questions! 🤍✨☺️
@@thebethmethod 💜Hi Bethany! Thank you for your reply! I get it now. I will look for that brand of leave in conditioner. Maybe my curls won't dry out or frizz with a leave in conditioner. I don't know what I did last week...lol. I will try again with all of your advice. I will let you know how it turned out. I'm learning so your channel is a success! You already knew that anyway... I just wanted to remind you. I have lots of videos to catch up with... I heard in another video you are a Mom. I have a son. Motherhood is a gift from God. I am so thankful! God bless your children. I have more questions about hair and nails but I have to get back to this home remodel right now...lol. Be back soon and THANKS AGAIN!!! God bless you and family. Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
Hi. Can you define "cast" for me? I was thinking it means the curls are hard and have a crunch- like feel to it... but I'm not sure. Thanks. God bless! Lynne🍃💜🍃
@@thebethmethod AWESOME! Thanks for letting me know! I won't forget it. Have a GOD night. I will send more questions soon. You're so sweet. Peace, Lynne🍃💜🍃
Ooh yes, they are pricey. It’s hard for me to say because I have so many products I hardly ever get through them. But I feel like a little goes a long way with the curl maker! I think that one would last longer. Hope that helps!
Hey Shaylah! I don’t remember the exact one I used in this video, however, one of my current favorites is the Shea Moisture Apple Cider Vinegar + Castor Oil Leave-In!
@Bethany Robertson Thanks for the feedback on these. I was thinking about ordering Miele for their Black Friday sale. I think I’ll order it today for the $6 sale! Also where’d you get the top that you had on at the end of the video?
Hi there :) It actually is my-el (the creator chose to name it after her daughters, my-Elle; I think both kids have the name 'Elle' as middle names, or something like that if I remember correctly)

It had a bunch of bad toxins as I did my own research because I’m looking for more hair products that’s not why it’s more expensive
@@Kickingwitshamz of course it has toxins in it, but it's still expensive because of those ingredients. It just is what it is.

Your hair looked amazing!!
And for someone who prefers volume the Mielle gel is definitely the choice!
I have both & actually prefer the Mielle
Yes!! Thanks for dropping your thoughts!! These comments are making want to go back and try these products again and do more comparisons!
This is the exact video I was looking for!! Was going to the store tomorrow for the curl maker but was researching cheaper but similar options
So glad it helped you out!!!
I love love love mielle styling gel! I've been using it for about 3 years, and my wash and go's always come out bomb on my coily hair!
Looks like I’m late to the game then! Lol. What’s your favorite product combo with the Mielle gel?
I love her pomegranate and honey leave in conditioner, with the honey ginger styling gel. The moisture in my hair last for the entire week using that combo!
Okay girl, I’m going to try these, you make this combo sound amazing!
Camille is superior in regards to the ingredients... there are also film forming humectants in CR which are "gold" to the hair!
Which leave-in conditioner did you use? How a leave-in conditioner reacts with the other products can make a difference (we want the one you've proved herein works).
I like the Camille Rose side. Subscribing to your channel, love this video.
I your really looks good. I like the Miele styling gel side. To me, it looks fuller. I will definitely try the Miele styling gel.
Your hair is gorgeous for either product! I think I’ll get both and play with ‘em!
Oh...one more thing... A BOSTON T SHIRT? Woot woot! I live very very close to BOSTON!!! About 45 min away! That made me smile!
God bless!

I love the way your hair curls
Aw, thank you! ✨
To be fair, hair naturally grows more on one side than the other (due to hair actually growing in a spiral) so the side with Mielle could be the side that has more hair which then gives the illusion of more volume.
With hair like yours IM TRUSTING! beautiful 😍
I like the camille rose side results
Camille rose is my HG gel, to me its side looks better. I have coarse and dry and ğrotein sensitive hair. Every other gel I have tired dried my hair. Only Camille rose doesn’t dry out my hair. Uncle funky has changed its formula, the new formula is crap and turned my hair to straw but the old formula very good and was very similar to Camille Rose.
Wow! I had no idea they changed their formula!
@@thebethmethod yes dear, about a year ago they changed their formula. There are some youtube videos about it.
Do you use anything on your hair before Curl Maker? Please share. Thanks.
CURRENTLY im trying mielle I have not tried camilla but i have tried cantu , shea moisture and many others anx stopped using because they made my hair dry & brittle sooo yeah now im trying all mielle
Your hair looks Beautiful!
The Mielle and Camille Rose are equal. Mielle side is fuller.
What’s the color u had in your hair ? Your hair looked beautiful ❤
Bethany you reminded me of SZA and I’m loving your vids girl ❤️😊✊🏾
Thank you Jakari! What a compliment! 💕
Thank you. I am trying to wear my hair curly once again, I hope it last!! so this video was helpful.
If it’s something you desire, don’t give up!! I’m so glad this video could help! 💕
So intrigued to see the outcome of this battle lol im currently using and loving Camilla Rose curl maker and now I'm curious 🤔to know the difference
RIght?! Especially for half the price! 🤭
Hiya again, I enjoy these.
I’m so glad! Let me know if there are any other comparisons! 💕
How did it hold up over the next few days?
I honestly don’t quite remember with this one, I’m sorry! 🙈
How do you use the curl maker without getting flakes the NEXT DAY?!
Try not using as much, a little goes a long way! And scrunch the cast out with an oil to help break it down.
I have never had flakes with the Camille Rose Curl Maker. Ever.
Your hair came out AMAZING!! Very similar lol, I totally feel you as far as products go! I’m curious about what leave in you used? Mines did NOT go well with the Camille Rose. Looking for suggestions!
Wow! I thought the curl maker was pretty universal, I’m sorry it didn’t work for you! Have you tried the Uncle Funky’s Daughter curl stimulator?
@@thebethmethod What LEAVE-IN Did You Use? 😄 That's also very important! Thanks.
Does the mielle gel actually smell like ginger cause I hate that 🤢 Camille curl maker is bae tho ❤️
If you don’t like the ginger smell you will probably not like that one, it has a pretty strong smell of ginger/lemon. But yes girl, I agree! CurlMaker never disappoints!
What if you flip flop the products to the other side since the left side is wavy vs the curly on the right?
Bethany... HI! I told everyone I was busy and had to keep working on our home remodel... until.... (drumroll🥁) you're video showed up! All of a sudden, I needed a BREAK and I just started! LOL!

Since they're not cheap, how long would you say a bottle lasts?
Ooh yes, they are pricey. It’s hard for me to say because I have so many products I hardly ever get through them. But I feel like a little goes a long way with the curl maker! I think that one would last longer. Hope that helps!

Hey @bethanyrobertson, what leave in do you use? :)
Hey Shaylah! I don’t remember the exact one I used in this video, however, one of my current favorites is the Shea Moisture Apple Cider Vinegar + Castor Oil Leave-In!

I believe I used the Jozi curls leave in conditioner this day!
@Bethany Robertson Thanks for the feedback on these. I was thinking about ordering Miele for their Black Friday sale. I think I’ll order it today for the $6 sale! Also where’d you get the top that you had on at the end of the video?
My top is from fashion nova, it’s super old but has surprisingly held up really well, I still wear it!
The Mielle side looks better. It has more body.
Ill buy the cheaper one loll
😆😆😆
Mielle- pronounced meeee elllll
Not my el
Oooh, I didn’t know that! Thank you! 👌🏽
Hi there :) It actually is my-el (the creator chose to name it after her daughters, my-Elle; I think both kids have the name 'Elle' as middle names, or something like that if I remember correctly)
Ah, thanks for confirming! I honestly wasn’t sure. ✨
Yeah, it is pronounced myyyy
