That biloage gel is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! (I have hair on the fine side, not super fine, but finer than medium with baby fine in the front) As soon as this started, I was thinking I wonder if that would make her favs? But I figured it wouldn't! No one ever talks about it and it's great! I also add it on top of mousses, foams, and other gels too!

I have a video with this gel and a Biolage mousse. It is so underrated on KZfaq. It really is so good and so versatile. I like using it with mousses especially but I’ve also used it with creams and other gels. I actually use mousse after gel as I find it really helps enhance the clumps and definition. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Okay, when you said extreme hold gel, you had me at hello. I just subscribed! I feel like I found my wavy/curly sister, and a licensed expert, at that.I can't wait to try some of your picks. For liquid gels, I recommend Aveda Flax Seed Aloe Strong Hold. They also have a medium hold liquid gel called Confixor. They just came out with a Curl Gelee, too. I love their Be Curly line.
@CurlyChelle5472 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I definitely love a strong hold gel. I used the Confixor gel years ago and loved it. I really need to revisit the Aveda brand again. I used to love quite a few of their products and probably still would. They’ve also added new things since then that I’ve never tried. Thank you for watching and subscribing!

Great tip for the style fixer gel, I'll have to try it. I have that same gel, tried it twice & didn't like it, although my hair dried looking ok. It felt weird in my hair for one thing. I style similarly to you - only difference being after its styled & clumped, I glaze/praying hands combo the gel then I really scrunch&pulse it in. I'll have to try adding the gel before brush styling.
@CurlyChelle5473 жыл бұрын
Mine felt weird too which is why I switched the application method and reduced the amount. No more weird! I don’t scrunch my hair a whole lot but my daughter does. There’s a video on my channel that she did. She scrunches and plops. I think she pulses too. Her hair is loose waves with a few loose curls. Let me know how switching the application method works for you! Thank you for watching!

Do ouidad gels work alone or best used with creams? I have high porosity, protein overload and frizzy wavy to curly pixie hair cut. I’ve tried the Verb curl line and didn’t like it. Any suggestions would be great!! I live in Southern California where it’s extremely dry heat. What I’ve been using lately is Curls brand Goddess curl gel on its own and defuse after applying but still get frizz. Do I need a stronger gel?
@CurlyChelle5473 жыл бұрын
Ouidad gels work great both ways. A curl cream can really help with frizz as they tend to add moisture and encourage clumping and definition, then the gel holds that in place. This added moisture will also help in a dry climate and with your high porosity hair. I’m unfamiliar with that gel so I don’t know it’s strength to be able to compare. I would suggest adding a curl cream to your routine. I have a video about my top 5 curl creams that might help you find one. But off the top of my head, the Curls Creme Brûlée (no protein) might be a good one to try with that gel. Or the Rizos Curls curl cream, I don’t think there’s protein in that one either. And of course there’s the Bounce Curl clump and define cream which is just soooo good. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching!
