Loved the video. I must be in the minority because I love this gel and the strong hold it has and the cast it leaves. It gives me definition that lasts for 3-4 days before the cast breaks and then I’ll refresh for a day or two before washing my hair again. It’s definitely the strongest hold gel I’ve ever tried so I can see why some are not into the cast it leaves but I hate when a product claims to be strong hold and within two days my hair is frizzy. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I really love this custard 🥺. My wash and go can last up to 14 days and it will still be defined and very soft when the gel cast breaks. My hair is very dense, medium to coarse strands and our curl size is very similar. I use this product by itself and use a very small amount with a LOT of water.

This is THE MOST ACCURATE description of what my hair felt like with the mousse and the glaze! It's not just the cast, it's literally how drying the products made my hair, and that it took weeks to get back to a decent moisture balance. After trying the mousse a couple more times and getting the same results, and feeling like I too was damaging my hair, I just realized whatever is in the line isn't for me and I'm not trying any others.

I'm with you on this girl, I do NOT play hard, dry, crunchy hair no matter how good it looks. I need my hair to feel just as good as it looks.

I tried the bee girl line and didn't like it either. I think maybe we over dry it under the hooded dryer. Maybe 1/2 dry under the hooded dryer and then air dry the rest of the way? I threw the Bee Girl mousse away. I'm also a wet line girl and make no apologies about it. I work out and coach basketball outside in the Florida heat and humidity and my hair holds up for 7-9 days with no refreshing. it washes out easily and after 3 days when the cast breaks ohh baby it is soft and still holds up to the humidity. It gives me a consistent, reliable and no manipulation look/style and I always get compliments on my hair. Women corner me to ask me about my hair. UFD, Wetline and Trepadora bamboo ginseng or Bamboo Ginseng mouse in that order. Use the Bamboo ginseng line sparingly. They are highly concentrated and will flake if you use too much. You're welcome. This combo gives you a flat look on day 1, but as the cast slowly breaks, it softens up and grows slowly over time, giving the illusion of a different shape/style every day. You can pick and fluff the cast out for lift, but I don't do that. I just squeeze gently with my hands in the morning and shake the hair out and every day the shape looks different.

Try the Eden Body Works Almond Marshmallow Hydration Serum with it. I hate crunchy hair. I use that serum along with everything. No crunch ever. Otherwise, your hair is on pooooooint.

Thanks Harriet. While I'm not a fan of the Doux products, I do hope they can clear up the issues folks are having. God Bless you too, and thanks!

No disrespect intended. As a stylist, I notice that she was heavy handed with the custard and that’s why it was crunchy……and when she was conditioning her hair 😳😩 entirely TOO much conditioner. It doesn’t take all that product. I use the Mousse Def and other products all the time with a light leave in on clients and don’t have that problem.

@@auntieneen2611 thanks for your professional advice. However as a consumer you have to show (us) clients how to use new products. So many products require different amounts, water to product ratios etc. Videos are so helpful ….. especially if you don’t have salon experience to help…. much success in your career God Bless 🙏🏾

Please let us know if you experienced any extra hair fall on your next immediate wash day after using this 🤔. I've used a styler that caused so much dryness, my hair broke off in the shower more than usual. I really like that Quidad oil 😉. How did you like the Trepadora hair rinse?

I went to my stylist for my next wash day, and I got a haircut, so I am unaware if there was extra hair fall. I'm sorry you had that experience. That is so aggravating. That's great! The Trepadora hair rinse was a solid miss. It doesn't feel like it does much, but it suds up a lot. It's a moisturizing shampoo, but I prefer the Innersense Hydrating Hair Bath over the Trepadora. I won't be repurchasing it, but I will use it up to its completion. 🤎

I love the Doux gel and I use a spray leave-in and it's comes out great. The custard I could never get it to work for me it was HARD and the flakes were bad. I couldn't get the cast to break it was like a helmet. I reached out to the company to find out what I did wrong...waiting for a response.

@@BrittanyMia It's been a month still no response from The Doux. So I tried it again last night (I know I love punishing myself). I used a thicker leave in conditioner (Cantu Leave-in) and applied lots of water and minimal custard. After sitting under dryer it was still crunchy but not like it was without thick leave-in. Before i went to bed i applied some oil. When i got up this morning I used some more oil to scrunch and I finally got the results I normally get with a wash and go. I don't have flakes. Hopefully this help! I will use the 2 jars I bought and not repurchase again.

Thank you. Give it a try. I washed my hair in four sections for the majority of my natural hair experience, and I thought that was the only way I could do it because of knots and tangles. But, I found that shampooing in a downward motion and separating the hair as I go makes it so much quicker and easier to shampoo. 🤎

Totally understandable that it didn't fit the type of feeling you enjoy for your hair. I am glad you showed and spoke on it though because I am one of thoes people who do like hard casts/crunchy feel (at least for the 1st few days) my hair can take them well so maybe this is a product for me.

@BrittanyMia

Жыл бұрын

Nope, I haven't.

Personally I would use this as a topper and not a one and done situation. It’s not surprising that it was crunchy for you since you used it alone and no shade but you used quite a lot 😅 When this product came out, it appeared to be a strong hold gel when the founder described it. She has some videos on her page on IG talking about it.

I used the product as directed on the physical jar it came in. Since it said it was hydrating, I thought I could use a decent amount. I typically use a leave-in, But folks were up in arms about how I used Big Poppa with a leave in when you’re not supposed to, so I didn’t use this one with a leave in because the jar did not indicate needing it. It also said it was a hydrating product and it caused no crunch soooo I really wasn’t expecting it 🫠 I know that a lot of people are referencing her videos on her Instagram page, but I can’t get over how different the actual product is than how it’s described on the packaging. Like, literal opposites 🌚😂 I appreciate your input.

I know the doux says to use their products by itself but all their stylers leave my hair so dry when used alone.

@brittanymia This popped up on my feed and I don't remember if I commented when I first saw the vid some months ago. Listen... that custard had me SCARED to touch my hair. It was so stuck together, dry, and harrddd. Like not just a cast or crunch (bc I don't mind either) but like CRISPY and stuck together all over. I ended up putting Camille Rose twisting cream on it the next day and it softened it up tremendously. For me, I thought it was just user error on my part. But I haven't touched that stuff since. LOL. But then I did fall in love with Mousse Def and Crazy Sexy Curl foams... which now, after being on a consistent hair routine for the last 8 months, I can use either of them solo and my hair still feels great. I'mma probably forever hard pass on that custard though. I was traumatized... no exaggeration. LOLOL.
