I prefer the mousse side. Love that volume and fluffiness!
Martha thank you love! the volume definitely gave me life 🤪
I agree because I have low porosity and low density hair so the mouse really gives me lots of body and fluffiness to my twist outs!
Yeeees me too ! It looks so natural like, “I woke up like this…”
Mouse side is my favorite. But the gel side is going to give you more days
I prefer the mousse side, looks soft and bouncy.
You have beautiful hair.
I’m 13 and I wanted to go natural but I couldn’t find anyone that had the same curl pattern as me. I’m so happy finding your channel.
Alyssathomasnieves I love to hear this! welcome 🥰❤️
Mousse side looks better to me.
Both sides look great but I prefer the mousse side.
I use a curl cream and then I put mousse on afterwards. The combo gives me volume, moisture, and hold..
The mousse side is lovely. It looks defined yet really natural. I prefer the mousse look 😍
The mousse side looks awesome! Looks light and curly and thick!!
I'm 61 years old-school. I love the mousse side. I prefer natural shine and sheen of my hair and the natural looking soft, bouncy curls I get with foam. I also use it to refresh. I personally don't care for the fake "wet" looking shine of gel, I don't care for the crunchy cast, plus gel weighs down my 3c, fine, low density, low porosity hair. Glad to see some of you "youngsters" might be hopping on the mousse wagon. ;)
Both sides looks good but the Mousse side looks really good!!!
I prefer with gel, define, last longer and shiny!! I love your hair ❤️
They both look good. It’s good to know the curls can be defined using another curl product. I must give the mousse a try. Great video.
The mousse side is litty!! I'd use a different gel for a real comparison because KCC always makes ppl's hair look a little jheri curlish.
I was thinking the same thing
Love the color lipstick on you! I prefer the gel side. I love shine.
I’ve been mousse squad for a while now. My hair is too fine for gel. I get crunchy ramen noodle hair and NO VOLUME with gel
Yes gel for a wash n go for my fine thin hair just doesn't work. I need that volume.
What mousse do you use. I'm going to journey into the wash and go realm and I'm a fine hair girl as well. Also most gels make my scalp itch and I would like to avoid it as much as possible.
Have you tried synergy mousse yet? If not please try the whole line you will love it.
Both sides came out really pretty ❤️ Natural hair is so beautiful 😍 Thanks for video:)
Girl I love the mousse but I bet it only lasts 2 days before it’s frizz central 😢
the mousse side looks so much better girl, the gel side just reminds me of a wet dog lol i love how fluffy and bouncy the mousse side looks
Beautiful!! Maybe try putting oil on top of the mousse for some shine?
Great experiment... your hair looks gorgeous (I'm team mousse)
Michele Jones thanks for watching! 😘
I looooooooooove the mousse! That's literally the look i'm going for everyday
Both sides look nice but I prefer the gel!!
Love both but I’m a volume girl so if I had to choose it would be the mousse side
Love love your content. You are answering the questions I’ve always had and could never find answers to!! Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Mousse side hands down. Lush, thick and natural looking! Also soft.
Maybe you could try stronger mousse, you know the ones with the shaving cream dispenser? These new "foams" I see on the market don't foam up very much. There's one called Sebastian Mousse Forte which is a strong hold mousse that has a thick foam when it's dispensed, if you want a crunchier hold.
I was just looking into mousse. I heard the doux mousse is amazing. I plan ti give it a try. I’m also going to pick up some kinky curly. Your results were great.
Doux mousse is an excellent mousse!!i can confirm!
This is THE video that I needed to see. I’m going to do this exact thing once I take out my protective style. Gel during the week and mouse on the weekend
I love the kinky curly gel.Best one I use.
DEFINITELY THE MOUSSE!!! I loveeee mousse for my wash and gos, i get big bouncy girls, just like yours.
Thank you so so much for this video. I go to a professional once or twice a yr (been natural for 4 years) and she said she's noticed my porosity change and my hair becoming dryer over time. We think it's the gel from all the wash and gos over 4 yrs. I need a gel alternative so now trying the mousse!!! I want to use creams underneath for more moisture but I am hoping this is the solution.
I am a Mousse gal. I like the softness and volume mousse gives the hair
Which mousse do you use?
Prissy Curls Design essentials, it leaves the hair soft with great definition.
Kelsey T ok, I’ve never tried that brand of mousse. I’ve been using a mousse by the brand Synergi and it’s lovely. Leaves hair soft, moisturized and with crazy definition.
Prissy Curls ooooh never heard of that one. I may have to try that one after I use up my design essentials to compare. 😌 I think a lot of them on the market are pretty much leaving the hair moisturized and defined. I use to use the Mielle Organics mousse and it was pretty good also.
I prefer the gel. Love your hair
prefer the mousse side
The mousse side is definitely better and curls are way more defined and is more natural than the gel side
my sentiments exactly 😩
Gel dries the hell out of my hair and shrinks my hair like crazy, it also makes my curls super small but it last longer than mousse. But I'm felling that day 1 mousse. In about 3 days it will be frizz central with the mousse
So gel is then the cause that could dry your hair out and also cause the curls to dry up smaller? I think I have this also..
My real question is how long each of them last......
🤔🤔🤔
Mousse has a softer hold so it tends to not last as long as gel
This was right on time!! ThanKs for doing this and sharing!! I agreed with all your points for both sides! I recently did this with a diffrent gel (wetline extreme) vs beautiful textures mousse with similar results!!! Great video you and your hair are gorgeous!!!
I love the mousse side!
Both look good but I prefer the gel side bc it looks shinier and finer which makes it appear more moisturized
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT CUSTARD
I love KCKT, but wow... mousse for the win! I need to grab some ASAP. I love day 1 volume and a 5-day wash and go has always eluded me (even when using gel).
Me too… what do you do with it on day 2? It never looks the same … it’s always stiff from the gel and shrink up to my head in a fro🤣
@@bellamb7313 lol. lately, I’ve been using Uncle Funky’s Daughter curling gel. Bc it keeps it so hydrated, I can just refresh with water and a little more gel if I need more definition.
That kinky curly shine was shocking. I might have to pick some of that up
Sonja yesss def one of my favorite gels! works consistently every time 🙌🏾
Sonja kinky curly is my one of my favorites
Both are ideal, but Mousse side looks better!! I am definitely going to try mousse with my wash and go! My hair texture keeps changing so I'm back to trying to find my holy grail 🤦🏾♀️
Both sides was really pretty!!! I wonder if the def mousse would be shiny like the gel side was. Try the def mousse vs kinky curly gel.
Notification Squad!!!💜 You look Gorgeous and I love this Experiment.
Myrna J squaaaaaaad ❤️ thank you lovely!
I'm a gel girl cause I get more hold and definition and it lasts longer but the volume on the mousse side is amazing. I usually stretch my wash n gos to get volume.
Maybe use the "Knot Today" detangler from Kinky Curly as a leave-in instead of the curling custard (since it is basically just a lightweight version of the custard) & follow with the mousse & see if that gives you the moisture the botanica gel provides with the fluffiness/volume of the mousse 🤷🏾♂️??
I swear it’s a lot to learn about natural hair. I learn something new everyday. Gel leave my hair hard because of the protein. I wish there was some protein free gels
There’s plenty of protein free gels out there. Example, Kinky Curly curling custard
So glad I found you! My daughter hair has hair exactly like you and working on finding products that work best for her because he is loving her natural curls!
I prefer the mousse side!!😍😍😍
Mousse is so much ME ! AND LOOKS GREAT ON YOU .
Ohhhhhhh, I want to try this!!!
Kinky curly forever and ever we literally have the same hair I have never used mousse I have always been scared but I rock the hell out of my wash and goes so I need my kinky curly plus I go to the gym everyday I love the way the gel works for me for the week
Love this video! And I LOVE the mousse side, I love how voluminous it is! BUT i totally get liking the shine on the gel side, I also personally like gel and a little crunch. But I feel like maybe you could get a shine spray of some sort to put on the mousse side so that way you have the volume and the shine! Plus adding in that moisture :-)
I love the mousse side mix both
Great video! What lipstick are you using? You should just mention your makeup products too cause you look stunning!!!
I gotta say, I preferred the mousse side. I’m tempted to go out and buy the Mielle mousse.
They both look nice, but I prefer the mousse side 😍
I’m digging both for different reasons like you. Everything u say, I’d agree with! Definitely gel in summer humidity! Btw, I’m just beginning and learning so much by watching all my sisters online. I’d appreciate any good tips! And I subscribed! Thanks!
They both look good. Gel makes your hair look darker. Mousse side is AWESOME to me. That's just my opinion.
I love the mousse!!😻
I love your channel I been natural for 4 yrs going on 5 I’m still learning how to define my curls and figure out what drying out my hair.
Both sides are beautiful. I have always been natural except for colour. I have dyed my hair every color under the sun save green. I loove mousse. It's light. I only use mousse and nithing under. My hair is fine.
Both sides are beautiful. I’m wondering how the mousse will last the next day. But it looks great. I like the Doux mousse so far but will give the Mielle a try.
i think the mousse side looks so much better!
yeah, right now the mousse looks better, but you know that the gel will keep your hair perfect all week long. it has better hold and is harder to mess up
I love volume but I like the gel side better.
I use mousse and gel together for my wash and gos but I agree with everything you were saying
Cute! Just use the gel in summer mousse winter.
Team gel for sure
Both look amazing 😍
I personally think that the mousse side 😍looks so much better... the gel side looks a bit greasy to me 🤷🏾♀️
I like the gel because I think it will last longer. I see the mouse will become frizzy faster.
I love the gel side
I love the Mouse side!😍
Thank you for doing this experiment! I feel like both are great for a certain look. (Both look great on you with that makeup look by the way-- giving two different vibes.)
What are your thoughts on mixing gel and mousse? I've seen some naturalistas do that, so maybe you get the best of both worlds?
Kinky Curly.. I haven't used it in what seems like a bizillion years. I think I may revisit that gel soon..
Both!
The mousse side looks healthier, fluffier & more shiny
Mousse!
I love them both but the left side is really cute.
I prefer the gel part because it will last longer
Your hair is gorgeous. In my opinion the mousse will only last a couple days and the gel can last a week. Mousse or gel? It's a choice there is no right or wrong what's your preference?
my fave is actually using them together :)
I think Im going back to the mousse tbh. It always fit better with my thick high porosity hair
The ID texture moss gives a lot of shine
Both look good but I'm a gel girl. I love the hold
Mousse side for sure!! I may have to find a good mousse. You may just need a better mousse.
mousse is for 1 day style and gel can keep longer ..i love 2 wash and go every day so i always use mousse its light and fluffy and always fast
Gel
I luv the mousse side..
The mouse is my favorite. My hair is not shiny naturally so I don't care to get it. I feel a mouse would compliment my hair's natural volume and fluffiness.
Both look beautiful to me but I hope I can start liking mousse
ogx coconut curls mousse is really moisturizing and defining. I hate bulky products even as a 3c and I've been lucky with this mousse
I preferred gel, define and shiny and will last longer
I prefer the gel side!
The side with the mousse looks fuller to me, but both sides really good.
I prefer mousse on my hair. I have medium porosity, 3b find hair texture. Gel creates build up and weighs my hair down and makes it look like I have less hair. With mousse it looks natural, I don’t need to define my curls
Thanks for sharing your video. I love both results. I prefer the gel so my style can last for a week. The mouse can be used for 2 days only for me. I appreciate the alternative. 😊💃🏾🎊👏💕
Mousse side for sure
