    A hair video was a nice surprise!! The only products I can use this summer are the cs shine leave in and hard hold gel. I used the new volume cream with the two above to create a really nice wash day. It is so hot and humid in the northeast, my hair needs the polyquats that the shine gel provides.
    The curl retainer gel looks like it was too heavy for your hair. Flexijelly looks great but aqua shape up gel results were beautiful!!

    What a nice surprise to see a new hair video after a minute! On that note, I'd love to see you one day become a trichologist and/or a hairdresser and since you have a chemistry degree your knowledge would be incredibly helpful. I hope you've found more inspiration for new haircare videos, and I would enjoy seeing a bond repair treatment showdown or brush styling and curling with a round brush like one would with a Denman brush. I wish you all the best Courtney!

    Courtney, I do not have the same type of hair as you, but I love watching your curly hair videos! I love your take on the products. I also like seeing single use products instead of heavily layered products. It is very helpful when you show your hair after styling and at the end of the day. I am also a mama and understand those busy days with your kids. Thank you for making this video! 😊

    Yay, what an amazing surprise today! Not only is it a hair video, but it’s also Curlsmith and their gels! It’s like Christmas. Lol. I love Curlsmith! The soufflé gives me a harder hold than the in-shower fixer or the shine gel. Go figure 🤷‍♀️ Glad to see the break helped and you’re having fun with the hair content again. I loved your other content too. ❤

    My go to every wash day is the Hydro Style Flex gel with the feather light protein cream. I have the purple gel and the humidity gel. The purple gel doesn't have enough hold for me. The green gel makes my hair look like straw. The humidity line is the only line by Curlsmith that I actually hate. Have been using their new mousse with the hydro style Flex gel and it's perfect in the high humidity.

  • @donnakellar

    Really happy to see this video. I, too, have an embarrassing amount of curly hair products. After much trial and error, I find myself becoming almost exclusively a Curlsmith girl. I first heard about Curlsmith on one of YOUR earlier videos.
    I so appreciate your research and explanations regarding the products in ALL of your videos. I soak it up, like parched hair with a great conditioner. 🙄 (I thought I could throw that in…Since you, my friend are the queen of corny puns!)
    I also appreciate your T shirt ministry. You look happy. Indeed, it looks like “It is well with your soul.”

    Thank you for all of your videos! I found you too late I think but I thank you for leaving all your helpful videos up for us trying to figure out our hair! I had straight hair all my life and a few years ago a few clumps here and there started waving and now today I have part wavy part curly and a little tiny bit still straight hair. It's thick and coarse. I am struggling to find a good stronghold gel. And I struggle with hair that too easily gets over moisturized. Anyway you are appreciated by me I would never have tried to start this CG method if I hadn't stumbled across you. I think actually wavy hair is pretty misunderstood and even my own ( former) hairstylist didn't understand . But now I have a new stylist ( she has wavy hair too & she understands) and I have your videos to help me go forward!

    I only tried Aqua Gel once because it doesn’t seem economical having to use so much product. It’s so runny, you could almost use it as your leave-in/ cream.
    The Flexi Jelly has been my favorite gel for almost a year (and that’s big)! I thought immediately when I saw your results that it seems to be the best of both worlds for you too.
    I pair it with Evo Happy Campers. It’s a leave-in/ UVA UVB protectant/ dry time reducer, but it DOES contain silicones. It’s AMAZING! I would love to hear you breakdown the ingredients, since it’s not CGM friendly, but it doesn’t seem to build up at all.

    @shadowchsr79 3 місяці тому +2

    I would love to see you do 123 gel with these. I haven't had much luck with that process. The third gel almost always seems to be too much and my hair just gets product build up. But I do well layering 2 gels.
    Also look up the Got 2 B glued gel in the black tube. It's got some of the strongest hold I have ever seen where I actually could not break the gel cast unless used sparingly. Like harder than Harry's. Granted, it won't fit into your one brand wash day series, but it may be fun to experiment.

  • @virginiacannon2023
    @virginiacannon2023 3 місяці тому

    The frizz rescue, in my opinion, doesn’t hold as well as the others. I’ve tried frizz rescue with and without its sister shampoo and conditioner. I’m not really impressed with the line. To use up my frizz rescue gel, I mix it with hydrojelly gel and curl soufflé. This has given me a good hold while providing soft wavy curly hair.
    I just purchased the in-shower style fixer and will be trying it out.
    You made my day by providing this comparison video. Thank you. ❤

    I'd love to see a 123 Gel washday ❤❤❤
    If possible I'd love to see one where you switch the Frizz Control Gel out for the Shine Gel with stronghold - if you get the beautiful waves and curls from the Shape Up Aqua Gel, but the Strong Hold of the Shine Gel or if it weighs the waves down.
    I'd also love, if you could try the Ouidad and the Curl Keeper because I have heard someone else say, that the really liquid formulas work better on waves, and I think we all saw, that the Shape Up Aqua Gel with it's really liquidy formula was the best wave/curl enhancer.
    Or did I miss a video where you already tried one of the before mentioned?
