You are so welcome! Thank you for your recommendation. Feel free to give more, if you so please. They were similar but not. I don’t know; The products are different, but due to the difference in the application, I couldn’t tell. It applied more like a holding gel than a lotion, but I could feel a difference in softness. ICH had great hold, but I bet it would’ve had better hold had I not added so much water when I was applying it. That’s nice. What kind of mousse are you using? I’ve got some “holes” too, and I feel you on looking forward to everything filling in. Are you still shampooing twice a week? I might go back to that now that I’m in the gym. I also thought about trying water rinsing.

I have played around with a leave-in under them but they have better longer-lasting hold without a leave-in. I have increased my activity the last 2 months so I still wash every 4 days because even without exercise my scalp would get itchy and flakey and need to be washed so with the extra sweat it still needs to be washed every 4 days so no difference there.

Hey, Britanny! I appreciate you and your channel fr!! Lovely results, as always 😊 Your hair is growing so fast! It's a close race, but I think I prefer this week's results👀 I can't wait to finally try UFD + Innersence. My "no-buy" this summer to use up my stash went pretty well, but come fall I'm donating the few products I have left and trying out new products that are Black Girl Curls inspired. My "wash n go summer" has come to an end though. I'm getting passion twists this week and I'll wear them for a month or so before doing knotless braids as my back to schools style 💇‍♀My summer struggle was def longevity! My wash n go would not last for anything and it was only w/ this week's wash n go that I think I finally figured it out: 1. I need *crunch* w/ my wash n go. Mine was frizzing out the next day or two and I thought it was just the southern humidity, but products played SUCH a big role. Double gelling is really the move! 2. Preserving at night: I tried everything...bonnets, scrunchies, banding, a buff (I didn't like it...my hair would be super stretched in the back and it just looked wonky). Nothing worked! Until last week when I wore a twist out and I simply tied my hair down with a silk scarf at night. I didn't have to ponytail my hair or do anything extra, just cover my hair as is and secure it at the nape of my neck. To think something so simple would be my saving grace! I tried it this week for my wash n go and it's working well thus far! I'm so happy 😭 I even did the twist out bc I was lowkey about to give up on my wash n go but to think it gave me a breakthrough! I see a lot of people in the comments recommending a silk scarf and I concur! I'm sorry for the long comment (as always lol) but I'm looking forward to your next upload! P.S @13:48 had me weak💀

👋🏾 no, I appreciate you! That’s good to hear. It can be really difficult for me to use up products as opposed to just adding onto the stash. And the same, I definitely donate my products to my family that I don’t use. OMG yes. It took me forever to realize that crunch equals longevity. For the longest time I avoided all gel because I thought that eco-Styler and wetline extreme were the only gels I could use on my hair because that’s all I really saw on KZread. And the idea of adding not one, but TWO gels to my head was ridiculous. But now, with all of the newfound information coming out and how much more we know about our hair, I realize that I’m more of a Custard girl than anything. It took me a while to get to the double-gelling. One thing I will say though, is that I just realized how dry my hair gets week after week when I don’t use a leave in conditioner. Just a random sidenote/thought. I’m about to start incorporating that a lot more again. I’ve been using a scarf for the past few days and it is game changing. At first, I thought it would just fall off my head at night so it didn’t really entice me. The whole point of a bonnet was to keep my hair protected rather than have something slipping off my head every night, but I have not had that issue at all. I’m excited because I love scarves so now I get to go shopping for scarves 😋 honestly, I love how much you write in the comments. Please do continue to write me a book 🤣 and let me know how your hair turns out. Passion twists are mad cute!
