Love this video!!!! And I’m just now starting to I corporate gels into my natural hair routines, most definitely going to check some of these out 👏🏽👏🏽💛
The jelly gels you showed are two of my favorites due to the hold and shine! So bomb and great video!
Aceboonnappy thanks for watching! 💗
I recently have been loving the Mousse + Gel combination for my weekly Wash n Go. I use a moisturizing mousse such as Aunt Jackie’s Frizz Patrol Mousse to make the hair more pliable and add definition. Then I add a dollop of Super Wet Gel for a little more hold. This process has cut my styling and drying time down tremendously, while giving me excellent results. 💕
How long does it last long
@@nenaxnc6321 At least a week for me. Water will reactivate mid week if it gets a little smooshed from sleeping 👍🏽
My hair twin posted on a dry Sunday yesss🙏🏽👏🏽💜
Happy Sunday!!🙋🏾♀️💜 Love this the two you Reccomend are my Favorites!!
Myrna J happy sunday!!! 💗
You must try Uncle Funky's Daughter...it's in the same "family" as the Curl Maker and Curly Custard
Sonja ah yess i’ve tried before!!
Alyssa Marie it has a learning curve similar to the other two. But once you learn the correct amount you’ll like it the best
Your hair looks amazing. I'm struggling at the moment. Shedding more than normal stressing over this bloody pandemic.
Love your videos.
Stay Safe 💕
"Jelly-gel" so cute!
My favorite gels, Uncle Funky’s Daughter and Shadavi Crowned gel with their crowned leave in, smells so good. I’ve used so many other gels but these are my favorites without doing any tweaking. Before finding these I liked the Mane Choice Biotin Infused gel, gave me my first awesome wash and go. I also used the Ancient Egyptian one for twistouts, but I mostly do wash and goes now. I tried Camille Rose and Kinky Curly, they gave me a different type of curl, not a favorite. I do, however, love the Camille Rose in the purple packaging, deep conditioner and the Spritz refresher.
Thanks for your informative video. Two of my favorite gels are Uncle Funky's Curl Magic and Tre Luxe curl enhancer gel. They both give me volume and shine. I also love the ones you mentioned. I know it is not a gel but Miche has a new cream called Bounce just used it today...it is a one and done...fabulous! You should try it if you have not already. My hair is mosturized, has volume, shine and it smells.so good!😉
I like thicker gels for wash n go's & lightweight gels/custards for twist-outs or braid-outs. I like TGIN honey curls custard and The Mane Choice 24k gold twisting gel. Right now, I'm trying out the Hawaiian ginger gel from Mielle. I also used Eco style 10x super olive recently for a wash 'n' go.
Camille Rose and Uncle Funky Daughter is my two favorite gels. I tried the Camille Rose and Curl Smith shower gel, and it definitely defined my curls with a strong hold but it dried out my hair quicker with those two combination.
Great content as always, sooo beautiful
Cha cha cha Charmin thank youuuuu 💗
These are my favorite gels to use.
I actually like The Mane Choice 24 karat Gil gel! It’s bomb on wash n go’s, twists and braids..
Camille 🌹 is my absolute favorite
Great video 😊 new subscriber and you're gorgeous!🥰 Your hair reminds me of my hair a couple years back. I need to cut and shape mines. It's kinda boring now lol
I like using the looser gel with heavy gels!
My favorites are TMC Cheers Gelato and Kinky Curly gel. I also like Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic and CRN Curl Maker.
You must try the TresLife curl definer gel it’s not a jelly gel little goes a long way and works on high and low porosity hair ❤️
I am addicted to kinky curly. I keep trying other gels but always go back to it. I also found a great way to make it humidity resistant and last for a really long time.
My Curly Family please share how you make it humidity resistant
My Curly Family share for the class!! we wanna know sis!!
Alyssa Marie so initially I was using frizz ease on top of it but I wanted something more natural. So this week I put homemade flax seed gel and it really lasted outside through high humidity. It was crazy. I was definitely surprised.
My Curly Family Did you use the John Frieda Frizz Ease serum, gel, or another product?
Same for me!!
New subbie here and I’m glad I found your channel! Curlsmith? Ouidad??? You got all the 💰!!!! 😂😂😂😘
Do you think that the less jelly gel works best with short twa styles? My hair just works so different since I cut it
I used kinky curly custard when I had a twa, tried so many other products and recently went back to it, and my hair loves it. Don’t know why I ever stopped (wasting money experimenting 🤷🏾♀️). Anyway, I noticed some flaking after 3-4 days of my wash and go. What can I do to control the flaking?
it can def be hard to find a good gel that you love. I've been wanting to try that Ouidad gel.
Alexa’s Curls it’s good! but I need a teeny bit more hold... I didn’t section my hair when I’d applied it tho so going to try next time with sections and see if there’s more hold. otherwise it’s AMAZING 😩
I like your personality 🥰
I been natural forever and finally tried kinky curly because of you and it is beyond amazing!!! I’m done. I won’t be trying anything else.
ChicTiff soooo good!!! yay i’m glad you found your holy grail!! 💗💗💗
My favorite gel is ouidad advances climate control
I've tried both types of gels and I prefer the heavier ones, the lighter gels do ntn for me, they just sit on my hair until they evaporate
When I use light gels,they literally off in 30 min,like they have melted off my hair.Some thick gets I tried weren't good and I realized that they were scams.I also tried economic styler,but that does absolutely NOTHING for my hair.
Beautiful hair. Is your low or medium?
Uncle funky’s Daughter is praiseworthy
You should try treluxe gel.
What gel would you recommend for fine 3b/3c low porosity hair i tried uncle funky it weighed my hair down
i've been loving the ouidad heat & humidity gel!
Can u get curl smith at your local beauty supply store? Or is it something u have to order online AND is it black owned?
you can order online. it's not black owned.
I have a question can you use oil while using a strong hold gel? Will is ruin the gels hold ? I stay in Louisiana and it’s humid alll the time even the cold
I don't personally use stand alone oils in my hair at all... but I would imagine that the oil may break down the gel a bit...
My favourite jelly gel is uncle funny’s daughter curly magic.
Non jelly gel favs are Deva girl arc angel, Briogeo curl gel and NYC curls gel.
I also love buying litre sized gels because my hair is THICK
Brit Ferguson YES to litre sizes!!!! 🙌🏾
If I use a jelly gel my hair will be flat the next day; if I Eco, my hair will be flat and stiff. My hair is never bouncy like yours, only if I just use a moisturizer and then it still looks dry
For eco. Use a pick of give your hair a couple days to fluff out on its own. You can use an oil and scrunch out the cast/stiffness
have you tried fluffing & crunching out the cast? if that doesn’t work then maybe you can try mousse!
Hey girl! Have you tried the uncle funny’s daughter ? If so, what did you think?
Iris Chambliss I have! it was a bit crunchy for me... I think better for more kinky curl types!
Alyssa Marie it was crunchy for me too! Someone else said that I needed to put an anti humidity gel ( small amount) over it because of where I live (GA). Thanks!
I have it and dont like it. Im 4c and it doesnt define nothing. I feel its too much protein for my 4c which is what makes it crunchy. 4c dont do good with protein overload like high porosity which is why i can only do wash n goes every once in a while. Mostly when its hot.
I use and I love it. Once it dries it is crunchy but I'll either use and oil and scrunch it out or pineapple before bed. Once it take the pineapple down the crunch is gone for me.
ELECTRIC BEING It doesn’t have protein in it I don’t think. I always check.
my hair hates kinky curly styling products! lol i'm low porosity
So which gels work for you? I’m low porosity as well
Me too lol they make my hair sticky and hard. I thought it was just me.
Kinky Curly is one of my fav Gels , but most people consider this as a light weight gel and not heavy. I have low porosity hair and i love the leave in and the custard gel.
How is the custard gel? Does it weight down your hair? And is it thick? Anddd is the leave in moisturize enough by its own
I use eco gel does that work for natural hair
Russia Martin it’s waaay too heavy and the ingredients are extremely questionable. “Eco” stands for economical not ecological.
agreed with Brit!
Eco styler is fine if you are taking care of your hair, using other products as well as it and using the right one, black castor oil flaxseed one is good, I have type 4 hair and use kinky curly as like a cream because it ain’t gone hold nothing I have to put eco or wet line on top to actually hold my hair. I like the way it looks with eco style than without
Are there any other examples of jelly gels?
As I Am Curly Jelly and Aussie Moist Creme Pudding are a couple of products that I can think of with that jelly consistency 👍🏽
Mane choice too
Mielle Coil Sculpting Custard is a jelly gel; Curls Blueberry Bilss Curl Control Jelly is a non-jelly gel, as is Activilong Curl Activator Gel. SheaMoisture coconut & hibiscus Curling Gel Soufflé is now a non- jelly gel (but was originally a jelly gel)... 😊
ty miller uncle funky’s curl magic too!
Alikay Naturals Crème Brulee Curling Delight and Curlsmith Curl Defining Styling Soufflé are two I can think of off of the top of my head (both protein/silicone free if you were wondering).
Please help ne anyone,please talk with me.I feel hurt,i feel pain and upset right now.Please help me😭😭😭
We are the same
@@windlillylawson3944 Hi friend!You are boy or girl?Please talk with me.I need moral support after breakup with my beloved woman😭😭😭😭
@@windlillylawson3944 On May 1, my beloved woman left me and just left. She didn’t even go to another man, she just left me. From that moment I was left with sleep and appetite, during these three days I did not eat anything and did not sleep at all. I loved this woman more than my own life, I let it go very deeply in my soul. And now I just cry, sit and cry, although I am an adult and strict man. This woman swore to me her love, why was her love so short?
@@windlillylawson3944 Tell me about your problem, I want to listen to you now and keep it secret from everyone. I know how it hurts when there is no one to tell about your pain.
@@windlillylawson3944 Please release your pain and share with me. And please also listen to me. I have no one to tell and share my suffering😭😭😭
Ouidad gel contains silicone 😟. I wanted to try this gel and read through the ingredients and was sad to see it contained silicone.
D WALLACE some of their gels do have silicones but this one doesn’t!
Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-28, Sericin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Panthenol, Polyquaternium-7, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Extract, Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Extract, Wheat Amino Acids, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP Crosspolymer, PEG-60 Almond Glycerides, Glycerin, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, VP/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Hexylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance (Parfum)
@@AlyssaMarieXo great to know, thank you....will try this one then👍
The silicones in it are water soluble so that shouldn’t be a problem
