This comment is top-tier👌🏾

That part 😂

Yes! I agree. Thanks for sharing your pov 🤎

The consistency is paying off! Thank you 💕

✨💕

Definitely a guilty pleasure

I love to hear it 🤎 shampooing is my favorite part of doing my hair 💆🏾‍♀️ so relaxing 😌

I’m glad you appreciate my candidness ❕thank you so much, and welcome 💖

Thank you 💕

It really is. Like all her curls look damn near the same. Meanwhile I have noticeably two different textures. Not complaining but it looks so cool to see a head full of curls that blend in perfectly with one another

🤗💗 glad you’re here!

Thanks!

Great idea! I'll make note of that. Thanks!

You got this!

Nicki! Time will tell how it works out, and thanks again for your recommendation 💖 I love the scent.

@@BrittanyMia You're welcome! I love your videos and will be tuning in ☺️

Thanks! I’ll look into it 🫶🏾

🤎

Welcome, my bayang sista❕I 💗 your channel name.

Thank you

Welcome! 🤗 Happy to have ya here. Ngl, I'm not a big fan of The Doux so far, but I encourage everyone to give them a try and see if it works for you (if you so please). Thanks!

That is a great way to explain it; yes, other options work with less effort and time expended. I appreciate it! 🤎

I just watched Naptural85 use the foam alone and she had to use so much. I'll try it in the future, but me and the doux are on a break for now 😆 thanks for sharing!

You are so welcome. At this point, I'm convinced "moisture" and "mousse" don't even go together 🫠. Let me know what you end up doing and your results!

I agree. The immediate definition is great, but no longevity. Thanks for sharing ✨

I appreciate that. Sounds like a really good sale. Please do let me know how those products work for you! I’m curious about the CurlMix stylers so I’ll have to put those on the list. Awesome that you have your own technique down.

I love YOU 💖💕💗

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I just started getting my hair trimmed again in May, and I’ll go back in September, so I plan to keep it to every four months.

Thanks for the suggestion, Sabrina. I'll do that.

Period! So far, it's the UFD+ICH or the UFD+ICV. Thanks!

Thank ya 💗

E! thank you 🥰

what brand of botanical gels works for you and what is your hair porosity?

@@ayomideajibola4774 I haven’t tried any botanical gels which is why I’m looking for recs before I go out and buy. Still figuring my hair out but I think I’m low porosity!

Ufd curly magic as a base and topped with Camille rose curl maker is a good 2 gel with hold and definition wash n go. Botanical gel. Honestly with ufd as a base you can top with eco styler and have bo problem

@@chocolatecoils8200 you are such a blessing thank you for the advice

My favorite favcombo so far is the UFD+ICH or the UFD+ICV. I also absolutely love the kinky curly duo. Thanks 💖

Thank you. Thank you for your suggestion. I may do that in the future 🫶🏾

Hey 👋🏾 I appreciate it. I’m not sure 🤔 it may be something you have to test out for yourself because people say “the doux should only be used how the creator suggests”. So it may or may not work, but either way I’d use the UFD in the amount that’s necessary for your hair! I personally would still use the six pumps 😅

@@BrittanyMia thank you for the prompt reply 🤗

Yeah. That’s my whole thing with mousse. It’s not necessarily for longevity which isn’t a bad thing, but I’m not always wanting to have to style twice a week. However, I love the romantic hair look, so I will find a way to make it work. But not Mousse Def 🙃😆

😂 the best bonnets I’ve ever used.

Just purchased! Thank youuu 💕

I personally did not like the application process of big Poppa. Wasn’t for me.

Yes. If the section is already done and both the base and the topper are on it, I will leave it alone, but I constantly wet my hair as I add the base product.

Nah fr! Start setting a vibe for the wash day.

Welcome 🤗

😂 thanks! I’ve big chopped before 2020, but I never used gels for my wash and go’s. I was strictly a cream-only girl, and I could not understand why anybody would use gel because I hated crunchy flat hair. As my hair grew, I got intrigued with the length and wanted to stunt a little bit, so I straightened my hair, and it was never the same. I didn’t have significant heat damage per se, but I could tell my curls were not the same, and I wouldn't say I liked it. So when I big chopped this time in 2020, I decided I would only do wash and go’s as my signature style. (I do plan on doing blow-out styles eventually, but only when I get a Revair so I don't cause damage). I noticed that I get a lot less frizz now that I’m constantly shampooing and wetting my hair. When it first started to grow out, the coils were a lot more coily, if you get what I’m saying. I really loved my hair around the one-year mark. As it’s grown out they’ve started to stretch a bit, and I’m finding that they are harder to define. I think I’m over-detangling my hair, and that’s causing my curls to coil separately with less definition. Last time my big chopped I also got a lot of protective styles because I did not like feeling “Manley“ with that cut, as so many people told me I looked. So I didn’t really get to experience my curls. That was long winded but yeah 😅

I love your videos. Informative and relaxing. What do you mean by over detangling?

@@monicah8804 I mean that once I’m done detangling with conditioner, I should not go back with a brush when styling. The conditioner allows my curls to clump while the hair is well conditioned. Then, I come in and detangle again, which I feel is causing frizz in my result. That's my theory right now.

@@BrittanyMia Got it! My hair is defined when I condition and detangle then gets fluffy when I rinse out the conditioner even though I don’t use the brush again. I can’t figure out why that’s happening.

Thank you for the explanation 😁 I was curious. I guess wondering if your hair was "better" with how you are treating it now or if you are someone with unicorn hair that just grows beautifully no matter what. Maybe a video topic for the future... though I love the vibe or your videos now😁 Your face is so pretty and feminine, ppl always wanna hate or have something to say 🙄 I got the same thing when my hair used to be short, or they ask if I have a girlfriend and I'm like sir I'm married... To a man 😂 Anyway I can see that with the over detangling. I do that too. I'm trying to just use my hands when I get to the styling part now and focus on smoothing more. But hair changes as it grows also. To @monica H. The same thing would happen to me and for me it's that my hair was drying out while I detangled so that's why it got fluffy. It's low porosity and is hard to take in water so by the time I was done detangling it had dried out a bit even though I wet it again. To avoid it happening now I detangle in the shower, finger detangle when I can, and try not to take to long or put a shower cap on the part I'm not currently detangling and when I wash the conditioner out, sounds crazy but sometimes I let the water run on it for like 5 mins, or a long time. Now it doesn't happen anymore but I currently have color so I know that changed my porosity. And now excuse my essay 😂

I appreciate you sharing your experience with this combo. Do come back and update me once you’ve used it in the reverse way you’ve mentioned.

@@BrittanyMia So I tried it the opposite way and got much better results! The Doux Mousee acted like a curl primer to my strands. It went on smoooth and then I added a little bit of the Big Poppa Gel on top, enough to feel the weight/ difference and it retained its smoothness. The Mousse Def really smoothed my hair down when I use enough and defines my curls. My hair was damp/ towel dried for reference as a particular hair stylist mentioned for my hair characteristics I should work on hair that is more damp than wet and it even dried quickly for me. I then proceed to style in a very unique way in which my hair comes out like a stretched wash n go but it dried very well on me I only ended up using my diffuser to dry my whole head. I just like how fast it dried. I’d have to see how long it lasts though. I typically wash my hair evey 3/4 days. Hair characteristics: tight coils, fine to medium strands, medium density, course surface texture, hydrated hair.

Thanks for sharing

Sure! I’ll do that the next video.

Hey there. I vocalized my reasoning in the video. Feel free to watch it and you'll catch it.🤸🏽‍♀️

Of course, it’s okay to ask 💕 I keep the temp at 69 in my apartment, which keeps my bathroom cold, and the shower steam from fogging up my camera. I also keep my camera further back from the shower and zoom in so that it’s not so close to the steam. I hope that helps 💚 thanks for watching!!

@@BrittanyMia Ohhhhh that makes sense! I’ll have to try that. Thank you so very much! 💞

Lol If it works for you that’s all that matters! I’ve been thinking about going back to a three-row Denman brush because I don’t remember my experience with it. I absolutely love the Mielle rosemary mint oil. Thanks for sharing your method 😊💕

I look at my camera.

Yeah, it’s the labor involved for me. I’m going to keep giving the mousse def a try, but I had to step away from the doux for a while.

No ma'am. I may spray it with water if I'm going to shampoo within the next day or two.

@@BrittanyMia thank you. I think I’m facing some breakage…I honestly don’t know if it’s breakage or if I’m just being dramatic about normal loss 🤣🤣

@@charmikaparker0917 we're in the same boat 😅

@@BrittanyMia but seriously-thank you again-the UFD and ICH combo is a life saver!!! My day 2 hair is amazing!

@@charmikaparker0917 You're welcme!! 💕

It took a lot of time to work the product in my hair and I had to really make sure I was separating the curls, which is something I don’t usually have to do. It usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour to style my hair, and it took me two hours styling my hair with these products because outside of my nape, the curls were not trying to separate. I am more of a botanical/water-based gel type of girl. The gel was already a little too thick for my liking mainly because I knew I would have to really take my time to make sure that my curls were separating and not clumping together like lasagna noodles. It looked good, I just did not enjoy using the product.

@@BrittanyMia ohh ok.. thanks for explaining. I learn from your explanations too. 🤩

@@crystaljackson240 you’re welcome!

Thanks for sharing.

Hey! I plan on making a video here soon about my current faves 🤎

Can’t wait for this video!
