Mousse Gel Mousse Application and Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Line First Impressions 

I learned something today from this video! When you said you don’t scrunch overly hard but a little softer, it keeps your curl clumps better. I think I’ve been scrunching too hard!

I’d love to see you make a collage of final photos of each single product line wash day and what you liked and didn’t like about each. Also, do you have a Friday night live tonight?

Even though our curl pattern is entirely different ( I'm type 3 ) and I'm Afro Latina ( when I comb out my hair is a big curly Fro)... You have definitely help me figure out what flash drying is ( happening last night SMH) and how your hair is supposed to look with a conditioner that has soaked into your hair properly ( especially if you have medium to high porosity hair). Thanks, mamita! 😍😍😍... Also, your hair looks FABULOUS!

Your hair actually has more volume on the top than I've ever seen I'd like to see you use more of these products

I absolutely am IN LOVE with this mousse. I could honestly use it as my only styling product after I wash my hair. It's been a long road but it's my first holy grail product. ❤️

Even though my hair is opposite from your hair type I love watching your videos because of the positive energy you have.! You have beautiful hair and I love the information that you give.! Can’t wait to try this line 💕💕

I love this product line & have been using the styling products for about a year now. They really do a great job at defining my curls, & giving me volume.

Thanks for the review. I have been struggling with getting a part on the top of my front hair line and how to style it there so i like the way it looks. I'm playing with clipping a little but that wonky part or lack there of has been driving me nuts!.....until today! You said you used your brush to brush your hair back from your face in the front and it helps with making a part so i gave it a try and it worked! Thank you so much! Absolutely loving my results today using the techniques shared in your videos! Tried mousse gel mousse with the brush plopping for 5 minutes micro plop pixie defuse and hover defuse my roots. Yay! About 2 months in on my CG journey and i feel like I'm getting somewhere finally!

I just found you and man! I love love LOVE your energy and we have really similar hair types(i think, im learning what my hairstyle is as the days go with the method). When I watched your refresh video I was so happy to know it's not just me who washes every other day. Im oily too! Thank you!

This video was life changing for me! I needed to see the process start to finish plus I love the mousse gel mousse application. Best results so far!

Hey! I find your videos so helpful and you're explaining is very clear. I think you're fantastic and very sweet to watch - so please keep it up! There are so many type 3 and 4 curly heads out there, we need more wavys! x

I started today on the curly girl method, I am plopping right now as I watch this video!

Thank you!!! On vacation and didn’t want to bring ALL my products but my two most-used.... but now struggling to get them to work! About to test this now! 💕

Thanks- I've only ever done mousse and gel (cast). I tried this today and it worked well for my 3b hair!

I really enjoy all of the products from the curl talk line. Your results are amazing. I haven’t used curl talk for mousse gel mousse. I think I’m going to give it a try!

I use Curl Talk shampoo every other wash day, with Pineapple Curls Conditioner. My hair has a tendency to get over hydrated and when that happens it can take 8-12 hours for my hair to air dry. This shampoo has really helped cut down on my drying time and the keratin has helped to reduce split ends.

Hi Courtney...thank you so much for posting these videos...between you and India Baston, I am finally learning how to style my hair. I tried this mousse/gel/mousse method today for the first time and my results were amazing. NYM Curl Talk line is the best and this method made my curls so defined and bouncy...my curls were just as defined with this method as when I use my Denman brush. Thank you so much!!!!!

When you said you need space for SOTC, i felt that. I'm always pretty violent when SOTC and get too excited with my movements haha

I have the entire line. Love the scent! But that conditioner being so thick is a little tricky some days. Everything in the line feels pretty concentrated so a little goes a long way, even more bang for you buck. That mousse feels super luxurious too

since i'm working from home, i've definitely been experimenting! first the tre semme gel which was my very first gel -but ended up trashing it. then home-made gel (flax and aloe) which i like as a custard. today i did put mousse over my gel and it came out nice!

This is the "technique" I've been using for years. Didn't realize it was a known technique though, just something I've always done! Love your channel & all the informative videos!

Girl! I watched India Batson's Curl Talk video and then watch yours. You guys just gave my hair LIFE!!!! I bought the products and used then last night, This morning my fiance asked, "Where did you get those curls?" You KNOW that when a man notices your curls popping, you're on to something GREAT! Also, I tried your plopping method and it helped A LOT with volume!

I'm excited to try this line, but I had already decided to wait till I use up the products I currently have.

This was by far the best your hair has ever looked!! Awesome job!

Hey Courtney...I'm loving your videos! You do such a great job putting them together and explaining all this curly girl stuff, lol. I had actually never heard of the curly girl method until I stumbled upon one of your videos where you were scrunching in product about two weeks ago. I have naturally wavy hair and have always just dried and curled it to style, or combed it out to let it dry naturally, primarily on weekends because it never looks that great using that method. So after watching your video I thought, hey, I have wavy hair, maybe I'll try using my air dry cream and light gel and see what happens. The next day I scrunched in those products with my hair flipped upside down and was AMAZED at the curls (I'm thinking 2a, 2b, and 2c) in my hair! I had no idea it could do that!! So thank you for introducing me to something new that can hopefully improve the health of my hair. I plan to get some of the products and items you have recommended in your videos. At this point, I have a really hard time not washing my hair everyday that I have to go out and about because it always ends up looking crazy the next day (not just kinda bad, but really funky shapes). I'm hoping the silk pillow case and maybe a silk scarf or one of the other items you suggested will help, but I'm wondering if I can still improve the health of my hair washing it 6 days a week. I'd love to hear your thoughts. And on a totally different note...I love your shirt and was wondering if you might share where you got it from. Thanks so much!

I have to say I love the way your hair came out and you got a lot of volume...

I NEVER get a cast on wash day, but I can on day 2 refresh. I may try this method to see if it helps. Thanks for all your amazing videos!

Thanks for sharing. I’d like to see a day 2 / 3 with this line.

I love this line! It seems to work for my hair. I been using the gel and cream. Need to try the shampoo and conditioner.

Thanks for the review. Now I have more new things to try!

Now I have to go on an adventure to try these products, lol. I love how your hair turned out in this video. I am going to try the mousse gel mousse application today. I am not going to video it all, but I may make a video after I do it and post it on my channel. I love your channel and I love how you love your hair. I am the same way with my hair, I am always doing something with it.

I love these products and have been using them for a month now, I've noticed with the conditioner if you leave it sit in your hair for a few minutes the slip becomes better and its way easier to detangle! (:

Love your videos! Just discovered you and your curls are so similar to mine! Looking forward to binging and hopefully pick up some new products to use and tips to try!

I've watched so many of your videos and this is probably some of the best results I've seen you get. I just bought this whole line a few weeks ago and I'm LOVING it. The conditioner actually gives me tons of slip but I pair it with the MopTop shampoo. I just can't part with that stuff. I also use their defining cream and then mouse and then gel. Maybe try that combination? :)

This is the first line i tried and i loved the conditioner as a cowash. I didnt really know what i was doing so i may go back to it to try again. I have my favorites tho. Moptop and moogoo to cowash with also like some jakeala products. I try for more natural ingredients but sometimes ill use the pink eco gel and ecos fruit cocktail cream because of consistency. Love your vids ❤

Love your shirt! Such a good song! Also, your hair is amazing!

I want to figure out the best routine for my hair, and I will. Just speaking this into existence b/c I'm tired LOL

Just did on short curls; beautiful 🤩. Thanks.

Thanks for this video! I just started using the CG method & got the conditioner & gel to try! I was already using NYM pink bottles for shampoo & conditioner. 👍🏻👍🏻

I have applied 3 gels and/or mousse with gels for couple of years before it was noted in IG. I also know a curly lady in Spain that does that as well.

I have been watching your channel for several months now and always learn something from your new videos. My hair is way less stringy since watching you. Partly it is because I have learned to accept that my hair is wavy, not curly. Partly it is because of products suited for wavy hair, and the amount of product suited to fine hair. Super curly shoulder length hair is much longer than wavy shoulder length hair. Hence it needs less product. I have more successful wash days now than ever before. Thank you, Courtney.

I love the gel (and also the curl defining cream which you didn’t use). I don’t like the mousse which stays crunchy, even though I use only a little bit and scrunch the crunch, so I no longer use it. My hair is fine and thin. I’m going to add the 3in1 conditioner, but my regular shampoo & conditioner work fine. NYM’s Curl Talk line is affordable and easy to get: Target online. Thanks for trying it out in front of us.

Finally a video that doesn't mention the Denman brush!!!

I like your amazon store. Could you group together a starters kit with travel size products? Especially since not all products work for everyone it's easy to burn through a lot of cash!

Love these products!!!

I’ve been binge watching you lol in every video I think your hair is gorgeous! Especially the color. Also I think I’m gonna try these products because I like some of their other stuff.

Beautiful hair! Love your videos.

Love your videos and your spunkiness!!!

Hey Girl! I loved your review. I just did a review on the Part II Line on my transitioning hair. You have to try the Leave In it is game changing:)

Whoop! I got the shampoo and curl cream as well as the conditioner. I've used the conditioner a couple times as leave in so far but haven't tried the other stuff yet, but will probably add the mousse soon.

Great review! I have the gel but might try the moose now too :)

Would love to see a review on Mo Knows Hair new line.

Hi Courtney! I love your videos, they have helped.me.so much in my curl journey. I was wondering if you'd maybe review Targetcs new curl line they carry called Emerge. I think they are sulfate silicone etc free and smell good and id love to see your take on them

Hahaha I too struggle with decor so you are not alone there! Please review some of the The Mane Choice products! I just discovered their Pink Lemonade and Coconut Super Antioxidant Mousse and it was amazing!!! I used it as a last step like you taught me with the open palm scrunch and my hair was the best it's ever been! I used it with leave in, Innersense I Create Volume lotion, plopped and then the mousse. Loved the results and had a super intense cast, but it scrunched out beautifully!

Cute plant! 😊 love your goofiness! (Just ask my students-they’ll tell you how tremendously goofy I am 😁)

These 22 dislikes are from people with straight hair

I love that mousse. Tried it for the first time this week and it says it's a 2 but OMG I got a massive cast, something I can't get with gel. It was hard to get it crunched out but I got 3 day hair! I normally am frizzy 2 hours after SOTC at best I get get 1 1/2 day hair and the rest of the week I'm in a bun. It's also the only thing that seems to stand up to this south Texas humidity. 😍 p.s I also tried the shampoo this week and I also loved it.

My hair is the exact same color and it looks the same when it’s wet.. I think I need to follow your channel more 😂

Looks great !

Looks great! Nice volume! How was day 2?

My hair is more coarse and thicker than yours, I did reviews on a few of these products but the other day I found in my closet the Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream and I couldn't believe how amazing my hair turned out that day! I go through so many products (b/c of reviewing) that I sometimes forget that I have certain products! This line is simply amazing and priced right! Your hair is so pretty btw!

11:55-12:04 is every wavy girls struggle. Hahah “one big chunky wave thing .... alright fine” so me when my hair does NOT want to help me out hahaha

omg your hair is like mine!!! I've never seen someone with texture like mine I'm so excited lol!!!

I want that towel!

Could you try finger coiling? I hear it can actually make your hair curlier and more defined, and I'd like to see it on more wavy hair like you and me!

I always get a great cast so my hair is fab on wash day. But the days after it drops and I have a huge amount of frizz.

Hi I just want to know how long exactly did it take you to have your hair like this 😍😍😍 Because I started my curly hair journey since September this year. And I would like to know.

Looks great!!! I tried mousse gel mousse not long ago (from coffeecurlygirl and I had a decent result!) I tried it a second time and it was a good but different result cuz you know how our hair can have an "attitude" every once in a while. haha! BUT I enjoy trying everything because this is all a learning experience. I do yearn for if/when I can FINALLY find my Holy Grail No Fail process! Til then, I shall keep trying and on those days when it fails, my mom said I look cute in a baseball cap! haha! LOVE your videos!!!

I have the Not Your Mothers Curl Talk Creme, and I really enjoy the results I get from it.

NYM has a deep conditioner, curl cream, and leave in too. Would you consider doing a review of those as well?

Have you tried mousse-gel-mousse with the last mousse as a mid-diffusing, smasters-type reapplication?

I've seen you use the other Not Your Mother's stylers but not the shampoo or conditioner. I would love to see your opinion of it.

Yes please ❤️❤️

I started using these products and really like them. If I use a lil too much mousse it will weigh my hair down. So how can I tell what the ph of a product is?

How long is too long to plop? I tried plopping for an hour before and my hair was still really wet after. Should I air dry more instead since I have high porosity hair? I'm about to try the 3 in 1 conditioner as a cowash soon.

I’m gonna try some different products and if I don’t like them I’ll give them to my curly haired sister 😉 I’ve tried the NYM gel and cream, I feel so so about them. Would like to try the mousse and maybe a different brand gel. I didn’t get a cast from their gel and I had too much frizz at top of my head. Not sure how to get rid of that frizz.

You need a ton of that conditioner and a little mousse goes a long way 😊

That volume❤

I want to know your favorite wash day routine. I see you use many different products but which give the best results? Gels, mouses, creams, or custards ?

Hey! 2 questions for you: 1/ how moisturising did you find the conditioner? 2/ Why didn't you try out the curl defining cream, have you previously tried it? I'm asking this because I felt like the cream acts more like leave in/moisturiser than a styling cream (say.... compared to Deva's Wave Maker). I get mover moisturised pretty easily, so I've held off on using the conditioner. I am planning to try the mousse and gel out without the cream sometime. Last 2 times I used these I had to rewash since my curls didn't last past day 1. :(

Would these products be a good start? I have fine/damage fine hair which doesn’t react very good to protein,coconut oil. Any suggestions with which products I should get?

Would a wide tooth comb work just as well for all the things you use the brush for? Also, how does one know if any certain conditioner is ok to leave in your hair?

Have you tried L'ange products? I'd be interested to see your review of them.

I think your hair is so beautiful! Is the back of your hair layered?

I’ve been trying this gel & dry shampoo. Next on my list is the shampoo & conditioner. 💜

Thank you so much, just wondering if a gel is necessary, I’m a bit confused with understanding what products to use after shampoo and conditioner. Can it only be a curl defining cream? I’m going to try this for the first time

How would you compare your Tshirt plop method to the new towel one? I like how the front turns out better with tshirt. Also find tshirt has better drying that is slower, yes, but more even. Towel causes me strange twisting in front and frizzy spots that dry funny.. SwavyCurlyCourtney, your thoughts?

This is great! I just found out that the product I've been using for my curly hair is not curly girl approved (CurlySexyHair) 😭😭😭, but I see this brand all the time at walmart and it'll probably be what I go for next once I run out of this stuff (cause I spent too much money at Ulta on it to just throw it away gdi)

I love this line!! Especially the mousse buutt I am having a itchy reaction due to the itchy M's 😥 so I had to stop using one of my favorite mousse 😑

Have you tried the other NYM lines like the Tahitian one with Mango Butter? I have heard that one is good for wavy hair

Whenever I use the curl talk mousse my hair is curlier but unfortunately it feels to producty and so stiff and really difficult to scrunch out the crunch

do you recommend always doing a double application of mousse?

Thanks for this review! I've been really curious to see your experiences with this NYM line. My hair is 2A-2B low porosity, but all my waves turned into a giant tangly mess when I tried the Curl Talk line. 😬 I think it took 1/4 of a bottle of conditioner to get the knots out?

Have you tried the NYM curl talk defining cream? We have very similar hair and I’d love to know if you’ve tried it. Leave-ins are often too moisturizing for me.

Maybe the amount of cast you get is from porosity? ... i have low porosity hair and i get a cast from literally EVERYTHING. like i have even gotten a light cast situation just from leave in conditioner before hahaha

When I condish, I cannot comb my hair while it’s wet . It get lot of tangles leading to hair fall. Any alternatives for that?

Still figuring out how to style my hair best for my hair type and weather and things. My hair loves the NYM Curl Talk shampoo and mousse but did not like the conditioner at all either... my hair would stay so tangled no matter how much I seemed to use!

Gurrrl....I drive the struggle bus with the tangles!

Growing up and then having gone to cosmetology school we learn that “products” are not always the healthiest for your hair...the gels and moose and hair sprays and to stay away from them unless absolutely needed. I’ve been no poo and than low poo for years now so I do understand the ingredients list. So is this what makes using the misses and gels not bad for your hair and eliminating those ingredients from the products? I’d love to know if their are any super “natural” products that can be used for the curly girl method. I’m a bit crunchy and really try to stay away from buying tons of products. I already use low poo washes but I guess it’s all the other stuff. I saw your flax gel video but you said it doesn’t have much hold and you’d rather pair it with something. Is the reason why you’d pair things rather then just using one or the other that works?

Where did you get your shirt from( the one with the reckless love lyrics)? I love that song! New to your channel and I am enjoying all of your great info! :)
