BRI, sweetie , pour the big bag of shampoo and the conditioner into a already used bottle of AG shampoo and conditioner so you won't pour too much or waste any... your hair is beautiful. I have the same bags. I transferred the product. I'm a mess when washing my hair...I dropped my bag in the shower.... I wasn't happy about that..... but I get it done!!.. Thank you for your hair content.. I need it .. GOD BLESS
😂😂😂 I know, I know. I don’t have one though. I made the mistake of buying the liter size before ever trying it in the bottles. I may go to marshals and get some empty bottles that I can use. Thanks 💕.
I ended up buying some products from this brand during the ulta sale. I just had the best wash and go. I used the fast food leave in, re-coil curl activator and the gel mousse.
Suave Essentials Nourishing Coconut Conditioner is amazing for finger detangling. It’s cheap, 32oz bottle, tons of slip and silicone free. Used it for years.
Ughhhhhhh girlll there is just something about watching your videos and progress and the ease of watching you navigate through your hair. Loving the mousse results. Can’t wait to get to your length too😝☺️☺️
The frizz definition is cute… normally for me when I do a mousse as a styler by like day 3 it’s really shrunk in and soft so I just reapply a moisturizing gel on top to just re activate the curls to last a bit longer than 3 days
Thank you ☺️. The frizz definition is cute for sure just not expected after cowashing. I should try to refresh my hair sometime and see if I like that. Tfs ❣️
the side part in the thumbnail got me so excited. it looks great on you!! 🤭❤️ my hair is at that twa length where it’s too short to section but too long to detangle by just running a brush or comb through it so detangling is becoming complicated 😭
Your results are pretty as usual. Different look though. I'm still not a mousse curly. I can tolerate it in summer but otherwise too much volume for me. Your side part is giving. The heat cap is one of my must have. Really enjoy it. As for pre detangling I'm now using the Curlsmith intense serum (its a bit shea butter heavy for me) or the Melanin leave in. Fingers crossed I'll shed less. We will see.
Me and daughters have waist length hair and I believe it’s from detangling before shampoo I use oil almost every time oil melts our tangles or aloe Vera gel… ❤ I’ve gotten so used to our Routine it’s like clockwork.. anyway your hair is gorgeous. It looks so full and healthy
A lot of times what I have on hand but my favorite is olive oil,avocado oil ,red palm oil ,castor and occasionally grape seed. But I make my own infused oils and this really helps! My 4 r old daughter helps make it with peppermint and rosemary they’re used to it lol@@BrittanyMia
Just this morning I took the bands off the back of my hair but not the front so I could complete my face care regimen. I feel you. I waited u til after I did my makeup to take my hair down in the front. I just saw that brand at Ulta where I got my first wash and go done on Saturday. Thanks for another great video. You keep us informed. Because of you I tried Oleplex during the by 2 get 1 and my hair didn't need a deep condition (I did it the day before my salon visit). I am grateful for your videos. I have been wearing natural hair for 30 years but RU-vid has educated me on how to care for my hair better than anyone ever, and you are part of transforming how I experience my hair. Thank you 🙏🏾
ya not gonna lie, this was the FIRST shampoo i bought when i went natural and damn. I didn't realize it was the reason my hair was dry AF until i ran out of the bottle. it's very cleansing... I mean, even my actual sulfate clarifying shampoo doesn't leave my hair this dry.... I wonder why.
@@BrittanyMia Great timing! I used it for a wash and go last night with Aunt Jackie’s don’t shrink flaxseed gel and I’m honestly really happy with the results. If you like it, I’d love to see try it for styling in a video :)
I typically get it done on curly hair. This was my first time getting a trim on blown out hair since I big chopped in 2020 so I’m excited for y’all to see it!
That side part is GIVING! I freaking swear by oil. I usually use babassu oil or argan oil as a prepoo. Sometimes I'll use an aloe vera based prepoo if I'm feeling extra. Looking forward to the videos!
Just started using the Sarenzo pre poo.. makes detangling a breeze. Also, Naturelle Grow has a phenomenal marshmallow root and slippery Elm DC treatment that I use as a detangler. Slips those tangle away. Can't wait for Black Friday
That Head scarf you wrapped with at the end was so flipping gorgeous on you, my goodness. Thank you for the update! I see what you mean by second day, it didn't look bad but the frizz is coming back. You may wanna play with her more and see how you feel in a couple weeks of it (may need to just get used to these products or it could be a good go to for big volume for high poofs and head scarfs but i know you can get the same effect with your faves; I just really love this on you, your looks sooooo pretty). It looks flipping gorgeoussss tho. Thanks for sharing!
I just recently discovered your channel & I’m ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT! I’ve become a wash & go girlie within the past month after exclusively doing twists outs for 5 years. I use the AG Balance shampoo to clarify & I agree, it is stripping. But I am now very interested in trying these other AG Balance products now because your hair looks AMAZING!
You should mix the curl maker and Moco de Gorila Hair Gel Punk. But make sure you put more curl maker and less of the gorilla hair gel. Like a 3:1 ratio. Trust me when I say that it does not make your hair flake at all. Maybe after a week or so, tiny flakes will show up but they can be easily fixed with a little bit of water. It’s the best combination of gels I’ve ever tried!
I’ve been playing around with the OGX coconut miracle oil as a pre-poo for about a month. So it’s introduced a few things: an oil pre-poo, a product with silicones pre-wash and this idea of using a “penetrating oil”. So far? I like it! I find that my shed hair slides out during my shampoo, and I can wash it out with my standard shampoo routine. First wash K18 detox, second shampoo moisture shampoo (trying with Pureology and Amika right now). About my hair - my strands are very fine, low porosity, medium-high Density and prone to both over conditioning and protein sensitivity. Also congrats on being back to work 🎉
Thank you for sharing those details. I appreciate it! One of the reasons why I am wanting to try an oil is to detangle, but also it’s safe to fall asleep in. My hair does get overly conditioned easily and if I fall asleep in a conditioner pre-poo, I don’t want that to break down the bonds in my hair strands that I’ve been using olaplex to rebuild. And thank you so much 💕
I should add that I never sleep with it. I apply maybe 2 hours before I wash. Last week I played with tossing on a plastic cap to trap head and increase penetration. I liked the outcome
... how do you know if your hair is prone to OVER conditioning? Because now that I'm reading the comments I feel like mine may be too! I'm also super fine, low density, sensitive to over protein 🫢
@@germanyluv I can tell when after I rinse a conditioner out my hair feels soggy or almost mushy. It's like the structure of my hair is softened. I can tell it's over conditioned vs something like hydral fatigue because if I keep rinsing (especially with warmer water) I can get my hair back to normal. I just used a product that left too many conditioning agents behind on my hair. An example is the Not Your Mother's bond repair mask. For the opposite, if I use a mask or conditioner with too much protein my hair feels crispy when I rinse it out. I hope this helps.
I’ve just started to incorporate a hair oil serum after watching a couple of The Blowout Professors videos. I only use it after my hair has been dry and set with gel or foam. I find if I use hair oils/serums it affects the gel and foams stylers to be able to perform. I’m using up The Douxs honey collection oil but then want to use the olaplex bonding oil on my ends moving forward. I still don’t prescribe to raw oils and butters.
I pre detangle my hair before the cleanse and don't use a brush after. My holy grail has been fresh aloe vera gel with a bit of glycerin. These days I make my own pre detangling masks, but my hair usually loves gel like products or creams with lots of slip that won't require lots of spraying with water. 😊
Congratulations on finding a new job!! I had to go with the Curl Fresh instead of the Balance. The boost conditioner is super good, though. Hair looked good😊
I have been pre detangling before washing my hair but I prefer using a cheap conditioner. Right now I enjoy using pure zero biotin or invigorating conditioner. My back up would be raw sugar volume conditioner. Any thin and light one will do. Also prefer the pattern detangling nectar to get extreme tangles out.
Your hair is so cute! I saw the thumbnail and was like "wait... side part and length?!" Lol. It's grown so much! I'm definitely a side part person. Love iiitt!
I stopped using tools to detangle. I Don’t use tools at all. I finger detangle. When I prepoo, i use pattern detangling nectar. But sometimes I skip that step because I wash every week and my hair isn’t that tangled to begin with. I have very thick coarse hair, btw.
I need to meditate or something because my patience level for finger detangling is at 5%. Detangling is my Achilles heel rn but I believe using a prepoo would reduce my frustration. Thank you for sharing
Brittany: Y'all don't care Me: no, yes! When the hair product's on the skin and the skin product's on the hair. And don't get me started on when my hair sits on my neck and shoulders and I just get conditioner all on them 🙃🙃🙃
You get it! I started getting bad body acne because I was showering before adding in my styling product, which would inevitably get on my body. So now I’m hyper aware when my hair touches my skin. I also don’t like the feeling of it. Like when your in the shower and the shower liner touches your skin 😖.
I pre de tangle with just warm water in a spray bottle. I used to add a couple drops of conditioner to the water but just found it wasn’t necessary. Water works just fine for me and my hair texture looks just like yours. Except my density is lower.
For your detangle comment. I pre-detangle before I wash. I use the pattern detangling nectar on dry or wet hair and the tangle teaser brush (purple one with the handle). I usually watch hair videos like yours lol to pre-detangle. It has saved me time in the shower and saved my drains. For a cost-effective alternative, I used to use the African pride pre-poo hated the smell, but it washed out.
I haven’t used the Avocado and Almond shampoo. However, I have used the Honey Crème shampoo and it is a new favorite! I’ll be posting a video on a soon as well.
Do you use grease? I use grease and my hair eats it up. So, my hair doesn’t get greasy. My hair must be dry asf, but I love grease. It works better than a oil for me. Do you have any products that work for you that you can stick with majority of the time? Mouse isn’t all that
Nah, I haven’t used grease in years but I’m considering revisiting. As far as a product I’ll always come back to, the pattern beauty leave-in and custard still has me in a chokehold. It’s a reliable combination.
IMO no hair product smells as good as the Balance and Boost products from AG. I do not understand why they don’t make that their signature fragrance and put it in all their products. It’s the best botanical, spa fragrance I’ve ever smelled. Oh, also, you might like Liquid Effects more than Mousse Gel. I find Mousse Gel eats up the products I put on underneath and can leave my hair feeling a little dry. Still a great product but Liquid Effects is more moisturizing imo.
I’ve been looking into hair grease for wash and go’s this past week. I’ve never tried it before, but I’m curious. I’m a little nervous about it too. I’m not sure how I’m going to integrate it but I’m sure I will watch a few videos and see. Do you use grease in your wash and gos?
@@BrittanyMia Hey Brittany, you may not see this since it’s been so long. When I first tried it as a wash n go, I didn’t section or anything just got a small amount and rubbed it into my hair. Of course I didn’t get much definition out of that but it made my hair soft and so easy to detangle even after a week. When I tried it again for a twist out I actually took the time to properly detangle each twist section and apply the grease. When I took out the twist a few days later 1) my hair was still very moisturized 2) my hair was super defined. I think because I added so much water and leave in my hair shrank up more than usual, but was so defined it looked more like a wash n go than a twist out because of the grease. I’ve used the Camille rose gro grease and AdWords beauty blue tansy leave in. I also go in with the ouidad water works shampoo to get it off. I still feel some residue that’s usually gone after I follow up with the curl quencher conditioner. I usually wear my hair in single twists or flat twists so I haven’t tried an outright wash n go yet. Sorry for the long answer and I do appreciate you replying back tho! Wishing you and your channel success! 🙏🏾
I appreciate this content because I think I have been washing my hair too much. My hair really does not get dirty. It begins to frizz in about 4 days do I re wash it. I have been rotating Curlsmith cowash, but now I’m thinking that cowashing without the added surfactant might be more helpful. I heard you say that you’ve been cowashing with the Olaplex no 5. I got some and co washed with it. I see water insoluble and water soluble silicones in it. I have not used a silicone in years, but I went ahead with this one. Do you notice any buildup with that silicone so high up in the ingredient list of Olaplex 5. Can you just tell me some of your thoughts on it. I’m thinking that as we go into winter here in MIchigan, the silicone might be a help to my hair. I don’t know. I just want the best for my hair, so I keep trying. Thanks so much.
Would you say that the ag mousse gel has a stronger hold than the crazy sexy curl mousse from the doux? Im on the hunt for a strong hold mousse for my wash and gos
What type of hooded dryer do you have? Mine is not very helpful as it’s only blowing from the top only so my sides and end are never getting dry and the rest ends up crispy 🙄
The one I have is from lcl beauty and unfortunately they don’t appear to sell it anymore. It’s the kind that comes down like an oval shaped cone. I searched and saw them on Wayfair.
Can you try the helix hair tube instead of a bonnet im curious on your thoughts. Also, do you filter Chlorine out of your shower water? A shower filter makes products work better and my hair is softer
I’ve never heard of the helix hair tube. When I search for it nothing came up. However I do use a shower filter! I do have the grace elaye open cap and I can give my thoughts on that.
Hey! I’m new here! Loving the content 😍 you mentioned that you co wash, deep condition and olaplex every month or something? Could you please elaborate? I’m trying to get my coils balanced too 🥲😂. Thanks!
Welcome 🤗. For the past almost year I’ve been doing monthly olaplex treatments. In the mid summertime I was a cowashing a lot because I was working out and sweating. I live in the Midwest and it’s very humid so I was testing out daily cowashing (I no longer do that. I cowash once a week midweek now). I’m very generous with leave in conditioner because it helps to keep my hair soft and conditioned during the week. I just started integrating hair serums and oils back into my routine. I focus the product on the mid to ends of my hair and I’ve been loving that to keep my ends protected. I hope this helps. ❣️
Sometimes i predetangle my hair , when i do i use pattern necter or anyyhing that has slip . Ive tried the ogx argon oil for prepoo and it left my hair hard 🫣 so i didnt use that again 😅
@@BrittanyMia i usually grab a cheap drug store shampoo like mane n tail or african pride’s moisture miracle line. they both provide a good amount of slip for both finger and brush detangling
