I appreciate your honest review. I hate that anyone gives you grief over your opinion or how you like to apply your products! I for one would rather hear truthfully how it works for you and not have you repeat what all the other drones are saying.

I appreciate the honest review. I have used this a few times, and it's definitely versatile enough to play around with different ways of incorporating it into your routine. I also didn't get enough hold when I used it the way they did in their video, but I do like it when I layer a little gel on top. I get great volume, and my hair feels incredibly healthy when I use it! And for anyone wondering, it is in fact free of silicones. I know other Verb products contain them, but not this one.

Thanks for your honest review. I thought your day 1 hair looked great and your day 2 hair looked pretty good to me, too. I'm dying to try this even though the last thing I need is more products!😄 Probably a good thing it's sold out at Verb right now. 😉Like you I like more hold - and to be honest, having to scrunch out the crunch makes me feel like I'm getting more hold, so I suspect that I'll end up adding gel once I finally try it. I did that with other supposed "one and done" products after the first try gave me less hold than I like. I haven't actually tried any Verb products yet, as some of them contain silicones, which don't really work well in my hair, but now I'm tempted to try the products you mentioned. I'll be interested to see what you do in terms of layering this product with other things. Like you, I like to layer, but I need to be careful not to overdo. By the way, I appreciated your technique for avoiding getting too much product on your roots, no one else has ever answered that question when I asked how to avoid it.

I never got a chance to finish this yesterday lol. There's definitely not a lot of hold in that foam.

I think I mentioned this already, but I'm really looking forward to just scrunching it in vs the brush thru I did the 1st time. Idk. I've used it to dry refresh twice now & looooved it for that.

I have had a hard time getting this to work for me and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. They keep saying to use it as the only styler, but that doesn't work for me. I tried using leave-in only before it and that didn't work. I tried curl cream and the foam gel, then leave-in with curl cream and the foam gel and neither method worked either. My last resort is to try next wash day with it by adding my regular gel over the top at the end of styling? If that still doesn't work then it's time to pass it along. I really wish I could figure it out though!

What is microflopping?

I'm a new viewer to your channel so not sure what your normal routine is, but do you not do anything to "refresh" your hair on day 2/3/4? eg with water, or other products, etc. Or you just didn't do it for this review to keep it simple? I usually use water to "re-activate" the products from day 1, but I know a lot of folks don't like using water on their hair every day. But if I try using more products (ie rather than water), my hair just goes limp and gross with too much product. What are your thoughts on this?

@CurlyChelle547

Жыл бұрын

I don’t refresh in reviews to show how well the products hold up all on their own without any interference from me. But I also tend to not refresh when I’m off camera too. That’s why I prefer hard hold. With a good wash day and strong hold I can usually just fluff and go on days 2 and 3. Using water to reactivate the product works really well, especially for fine hair. I do that occasionally. Thank you for watching!

Chelle have you tried this product with a gel? I'd be interested to know if you've experimented some more with it. I tried it for the 3rd time yesterday and layered a gel on top, but I still got less hold and more frizz than usual. I did get nice soft curls, though looser than usual, and good volume, but I ended up scrunching a curl cream into my hair this morning, as well as a finishing oil, to cut down the frizz and increase the definition. Guess I'll keep trying things till I use it up, but not sure if I'll buy it again. It's too bad cause I really wanted to love this product.

I actually posted a shop my stash/curly combo video recently pairing it with the Evolvh dream gel. It was a really good combo. I have yet to pair it with a strong hold gel but I think it’ll work really well with AG liquid effects. Hmmm might have to try that next wash day. I think that, like you, I’ll use it up but I’m probably not going to repurchase it. It just doesn’t do much for me to make it a staple. That’s probably why I really haven’t experimented much with it.

Aw, there's no real doing it "wrong", sometimes "wrong" works right for others.

Part of experimenting with new products is experimenting w/application, techniques, etc. When I used it I didn't have the ghost prep & used it like I saw the 2nd time, with Aveda nutriplenish leave in (since I love it anyways), & then I added a bit of gel at the end. I even brushed the foam thru like she did but I think next time I try it I'm going to glaze & scrunch like I usually would & then do a thin layer of gel on top. I didn't get a ton of longevity either, though it did amazing as a dry, curl by curl refresh, & then I briefly hit the curls I refreshed with a diffuser and it looked even better than it initially did
