    I prefer the mousse side. Love that volume and fluffiness!

      Martha thank you love! the volume definitely gave me life 🤪

    • @kearstenw3855
      @kearstenw3855 3 роки тому +8

      I agree because I have low porosity and low density hair so the mouse really gives me lots of body and fluffiness to my twist outs!

    Mouse side is my favorite. But the gel side is going to give you more days

    I use a curl cream and then I put mousse on afterwards. The combo gives me volume, moisture, and hold..

    They both look good. It’s good to know the curls can be defined using another curl product. I must give the mousse a try. Great video.

    I'm 61 years old-school. I love the mousse side. I prefer natural shine and sheen of my hair and the natural looking soft, bouncy curls I get with foam. I also use it to refresh. I personally don't care for the fake "wet" looking shine of gel, I don't care for the crunchy cast, plus gel weighs down my 3c, fine, low density, low porosity hair. Glad to see some of you "youngsters" might be hopping on the mousse wagon. ;)

      Yes gel for a wash n go for my fine thin hair just doesn't work. I need that volume.

      @J.Ilene. 4 роки тому +3

      What mousse do you use. I'm going to journey into the wash and go realm and I'm a fine hair girl as well. Also most gels make my scalp itch and I would like to avoid it as much as possible.

    The mousse side is litty!! I'd use a different gel for a real comparison because KCC always makes ppl's hair look a little jheri curlish.

    Maybe you could try stronger mousse, you know the ones with the shaving cream dispenser? These new "foams" I see on the market don't foam up very much. There's one called Sebastian Mousse Forte which is a strong hold mousse that has a thick foam when it's dispensed, if you want a crunchier hold.

    Thank you so so much for this video. I go to a professional once or twice a yr (been natural for 4 years) and she said she's noticed my porosity change and my hair becoming dryer over time. We think it's the gel from all the wash and gos over 4 yrs. I need a gel alternative so now trying the mousse!!! I want to use creams underneath for more moisture but I am hoping this is the solution.

    @Angela-pg6wn 4 роки тому +2

    Love this video! And I LOVE the mousse side, I love how voluminous it is! BUT i totally get liking the shine on the gel side, I also personally like gel and a little crunch. But I feel like maybe you could get a shine spray of some sort to put on the mousse side so that way you have the volume and the shine! Plus adding in that moisture :-)

  • @ChicTiff

    • @kathleenadeshoga8415
      @kathleenadeshoga8415 3 роки тому +3

      Mousse has a softer hold so it tends to not last as long as gel

    @chandracriswell7154 4 роки тому

  • @kapparhotau181
    @kapparhotau181 4 роки тому +10

    Gel dries the hell out of my hair and shrinks my hair like crazy, it also makes my curls super small but it last longer than mousse. But I'm felling that day 1 mousse. In about 3 days it will be frizz central with the mousse

    • @thelovedoneinternational3213
      @thelovedoneinternational3213 3 роки тому +1

      So gel is then the cause that could dry your hair out and also cause the curls to dry up smaller? I think I have this also..

  • @jordankeenan5239
    @jordankeenan5239 4 роки тому +7

    • @KLT828
      @KLT828 3 роки тому

      Prissy Curls ooooh never heard of that one. I may have to try that one after I use up my design essentials to compare. 😌 I think a lot of them on the market are pretty much leaving the hair moisturized and defined. I use to use the Mielle Organics mousse and it was pretty good also.

    Maybe use the "Knot Today" detangler from Kinky Curly as a leave-in instead of the curling custard (since it is basically just a lightweight version of the custard) & follow with the mousse & see if that gives you the moisture the botanica gel provides with the fluffiness/volume of the mousse 🤷🏾‍♂️??
