Hi Ms. Karen. I've seen this video many times. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the wisdom you share with us about caring and styling our natural hair. I just tried the Doux Mousse Def and girl, I now know how to do wash and goes without doing a two-strand twist, and waiting 3 day for my hair to stretch. No more!!! Thank you and God bless you.

This was super helpful! Thank you! 🩷

You are so clear and two the point when you explain to us all about our hair health so refreshing and inpiering thanks Karen

Thank you so much June!

Great information Karen. I really appreciate the tip for using moisturizer with Mousse Def on your gray hair. My hair is mostly gray. I use and love Mousse Def and have experienced the same issue with dryness. I’ll include a moisturizer next time. Thanks!

This was very helpful especially the moisturizer tips. I've been trying the Mousse Def with the Pop Lock and the dryness on my gray hair is terrible after day 1. I'll try a Moisturizer under the Mousse Def..I really want it to work for me because I love that the drying time is much shorter. I agree with you on the Kinky Curly..it's still my favorite!

Yes yes yes! I like to switch them up, but regardless of what I do, I have to put that moisturizer underneath! That's key!

Agree on The Doux! It gives me the hold of a gel when I wet set it, holy grail mousse

When I decidd to go all natural, I eventually went to a salon that used Design Essentials products. It was good to hear someone speak on this line because I have not heard a lot about them. I have drifted to other lines, but have returned to those products. Thanks for sharing.

I used Design Essentials in my hair salon, and other lines. It's been around for years! I love their products!

Wow, great information, I've had at least four of what you mentioned and didn't quite know how to properly use them for the best results. I know now(lol). Do you have any suggestions on the best edge controls (especially for gray hair)? Your response would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the videos

Great video! I feel exactly the same on the two mousse products! Design Essentials mousse is by far my favorite. I am trying to love Mousse Def but it's too drying. I don't have grey hair but I'm high porosity so that's likely why it doesn't work for me.

Sure thing! This is actually a headband wig from Her Given Hair. You can use code 'curlhouse' to get a small discount. Also, I trimmed it and do a twist out on it. Here's the link. www.hergivenhair.com/curly-headband-wig-p-467/

I really like how you talk about these products in relation to natural grey hair! Cleanse, condition, and style is the "kiss" method for me. I've eliminated lots of products because of this! I have grey hair and the leave in is key! My go to is TGIN Moisture collection before anything else goes on top and UFD is the goat. Also, I make sure none of my products have color (other than purple shampoo/conditioner). White, clear, or opaque only! I would love to use Kinky Curly but I can't take the scent (which is too bad because it does work)! TFS!

Hello there! No! I haven’t heard if this product line! There are so many good ones! Yes - in my videos where I actually demonstrate how to do a wash n go, I mention that the hair has to be SATURATED wet - like I have water running down my face! Lol 😂

Great video 😊 I wish I could do a wash n go, but my hair is very wiry. Can you show products for a twist out ?😊

HI Nina! I sure will! I use to wear a twist out all of the time, but shifted to a wash n go. I will do a twist out this month, and discuss styling products as well. Its on a video list!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips. Is it bad/drying to use mousse as the only styling product for wash and go's every 5 to 7 days? I like the hold of a gel, but the mousse is easier to work with and dries faster.

Hello there! No I used them all separately but I will mix the doux mouse and curl glaze together: And as I mentioned in the video I tend to use a moisturizer under all of the styling products.

I like Uncle funky but it is gooey and sticky for a while. I am so disappointed with whatever Shea moisture did to their curl enhancing smoothie.
