Ok soooo thing video was two weeks in the making! I have had the itch for a long time to test out my stylers all on their own to see how they perform as single stylers. In this video I am testing out Curl Creams! I am keeping as many of the variables the same as possible. I am using the Strands Hair Care shampoo and Conditioner as my base. I am applying all the stylers with the glaze/rope/scrunch technique. I am plopping with The Perfect Hair Care Towel. And I am diffusing to 90% dry; airdrying the rest of the way. Anyway, here are the results. Which one was your favorite?
Disclaimer, No one needs this many products. EVER! I am aware that this is EXCESSIVE! Playing around with hair care is my hobby. I am not really into shoes, or clothes, or purses etc. But I do enjoy collecting hair products. This is just meant to be a fun experiment and hopefully it is helpful to you to see all these products compared side by side

I actually really appreciated this video!! I feel like my hair reacts better to creams so this was nice to see. I started out the first major part of my journey using gels because that’s all that’s really shown and talked about. I never found any products I loved until I tried just a cream randomly because I had a lazy styling day and was SHOCKED by the results.

I've been using only curl cream to style my hair for a few months now so this was a great video! So far my favorites are Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 miracle curl activator cream which surprised me bc it contains mineral oil but doesn't make my hair feel greasy or heavy, it's what I used in my profile picture and I love it but switched to Cantú hydrating Avocado curl activator and I've been loving it too bc it gives a bit more hold while not feeling heavy. I've tried the original Cantú and it felt a bit too heavy and stiff for my liking even though it defined my curls all day. I have coarser and curlier hair than yours but I'm gonna add the Mielle cream on my list to try bc I love the results it gave you.

My curls in the back got really stretched out in the back. I started using Sugar Beach Spray from Kenra. It helped so much. I started using the Sugar Beach cream and I haven't quite figured out how much is the best amount to use, but I think it works well enough that I don't have to refresh on day 2 other than the side pieces that stretch out overnight in my pineapple. I started using the rope method of putting in gel and it helps the curl clumps for me so well. Thank you for that video.

Great video, I've been looking forward to this one! I try to do similar experiments on my own hair, but like you said it's hard to keep the variables truly the same due to weather and likelihood of getting over moisturized or something (and I don't wanna wash every day haha). Looking forward to the next in this series, and you should definitely do a "winners" lineup (or any lineup you have reason to believe would play well together)!

I think the #1 that made your hair look the most voluptuous and beautiful was, Confident Coils. #2 would be Mielle. What I learned from this video so far is, I think it may be a waste of money to buy expensive products. There doesn't seem to be enough of a difference to warrant the extra price in the end. GREAT JOB Courtney on this amazing video! ⭐👍👏👏👏

My favorite cream is not even marketed to curls, the Khiel’s Creme with silk groom. I use that and a foam in my hair in the fall and winter because it’s so moisturizing but it uses lightweight ingredients and has a good amount of protein in it. I use it in my son’s straight hair too and it makes his hair feel so soft and healthy.

@short.andcurly8772 3 жыл бұрын

LOL. I’m not a one and done when it comes to styling products. It’s interesting to see how the products work in your hair, however, as a coarser textured wavy a cream alone doesn’t do much for me. I really like LUS for soft fluffy waves but if I want hold I need gel. I’ve only tried the curly formula though. On that note, they’re coming out with a fragrance free version of their products and I’m so excited!!!!!

This video is so cool!! I suggest the Arojjo brand to try. It's the only thing I've used for years, per my stylist. Their cream continues to be my baseline when I'm trying other things and want to go back to what I know works. ANOTHER super cool idea is if you could somehow do like a "January SCC fanclub challenge" and maybe we all take before/after photos using the same products, and we submit them to you in the various categories of our curl being fine/thick/ high/low density, etc. I am also desperately waiting for you to share how the REAL DYSON has been for your hair after uncovering the fake one you had! :)

I love this concept! I've been looking for a curl cream with hold for my second wash in a week where I tend not to use a leave-in or gel. If I use my leave-in by itself there's often a residue when it's not sealed so hopefully a cream will serve me better. Would also love to know what products you used for your hair in the general video because it looks so pretty and soft!
