I have a satin-lined cap from Sally Beauty that I sleep in. I'm actually going to touch on that in my next video, which is a how to transition/starter products for the Curly Girl Method. I've filmed it, but I have to edit it. And an updated routine is on my list :) Good luck!

I don't have issues getting the crunch out :) I have to ruffle my hair at the roots a little and/or scrunch it in my hands to get it out, but it's much easier than the blue, at least to me.

+CowgirlsDelight First of all, thanks! I'm always happy to hear people like my videos. 1. As far as I can tell, no, I haven't had any buildup issues with the blue or yellow gels. 2. As for shampoos, have you tried SheaMoisture shampoos? With regard to detangling specifically, some are better than others. When I was using the raw shea butter one (tan with gold label), I could detangle my hair just from the shampoo if I wanted to. I think that one is the heaviest of their shampoos, since that line emphasizes shea butter, so if your hair is low porosity or easily weighed down, it might not be the best one for you. The manuka honey one (Target exclusive, maroon with gold label) performs similarly, as does the coconut and hibiscus one (pink label), as I remember (been a while since I've used it). P.S. What is your detangling routine like? Do you use conditioner when you detangle? That would help a lot.

+Curly Kat Marie Thanks for the prompt reply! Good news to hear that the blue and yellow gels appear to produce no buildup over time. I have the blue gel now, and I'm looking forward to trying the yellow one in the near future. I just used the blue gel for the very first time a couple days ago, and, I have to say, so far, I'm rather impressed. Thanks, also, for the advice regarding shampoos. Of course, I'm looking forward to trying the SheaMoisture shampoo line. I will definitely try all three (Raw Shea Butter, Manuka Honey and Coconut and Hibiscus). I don't have a detangling routing right now; one is not really needed as long as I wash my hair with conditioner only. Tangles come out quite easily. Awful tangling occurs only when I use shampoo (even when shampooing is followed by generous conditioning). I'm hoping the SheaMoisture shampoo line is the answer to my shampoo dilemma! Thanks again so very much, and may you have a wonderful day! You're awesome! : )

No problem! Also, if you're in need of a good detangling conditioner for after you wash, I recommend either the Generic Value Products (GVP) Conditioning Balm from Sally Beauty, or either the Perfectly Undone or Naturals conditioners from TreSemme. :)

Where did you get it

Dollar tree - $1

Tie between the Mega Mega (yellow) and Sport (dark blue). The only difference is the level of hold. Both have a good strong hold, but the Sport is stronger, to the point of being a little difficult to scrunch out sometimes.

I haven't. I do hope to do more gel reviews over the summer, though :)

What about the La Looks Wet Looks level 10? Have you picked up that one...plz review the wet look for those who likes that finish but unsure which products to get.

My first guess would be the weather where you are. My curls tend to be limper and more elongated in the winter months because there's less humidity in the air. I don't know where you are, but it could be that you're going through the same thing. If you've been heat-styling your hair at all, that can interfere with your texture as well because you're basically forcing your hair to be something it's not. Also, is it possible that this could be hormonal? I think I've heard of women's hair changing texture during or after pregnancy due to the changes in their hormone levels, so maybe that could be a factor? The last one is probably a stretch, but those are just my ideas. Hope this helps :)

You are SO AWESOME :) maybe hormonal but not because of pregnancy. Ash!!!! better get those hormones straight
