Are you a real woman?

It’s so crazy all of these are now at dollar tree. I hope it’s just because they’re changing the packaging. I’ve loved the white and black line. It works so great on my hair and my daughters. I hope they aren’t discontinuing it

I would love to see the lotion comparison

Yes to the Curlsmith comparison of volumizing lotion. Please and thanks. I love the thickening lotion and am sad it’s been discontinued.

Would love to see a comparison of the thickening lotion versus the volumizing one. I really like the thickening one so I’m hoping they’re the same but just rebranded.

I'm here for that adorable tuxedo cat 😍

enjoy your time off!

I’d certainly like a comparison video! Sounds good

r u trans?

First wash day looks better to me. I guess I’ll be trying a new product, again!!!😳🤣 Enjoy your time off. It’s important that we remember to treat ourselves well and take a break occasionally.

I like the First Wash Day better initially. Less frizz, lots of volume and more curl throughout, closer to the root. I’ll be curious which product it is 😊

Right off the bat I think the first option lools alot more defined and voluminous than the second one. I would love to see a one brand washday of AG products! Also would still love the comparison between the curlsmith lotions!

Yes please . A hard hold gell vid please x 🎉

Hi Lina! Thanks for a vid like this. I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my hair over the last year. Very inconsistent styling days. I’d say my hair is 2A, low-ish porosity, and coarse and thick as HELL. My waves are a long S shape on good days. My hair is about half way down my back. So I’ve been growing my hair since 2020 and my best hair days were in 2022 when my hair was just a bit below my shoulders. During that time, I used JVN’s pre wash scalp oil, Vanicream Shampoo (My scalp HATES fragrance), Olaplex 5, Olaplex 9, Olaplex 6, and then I’d finish with Argan Oil on my ends. I remember back then I had to squish the product into my hair A LOT to get it to look good, and my hair looked genuinely great. I have pictures from back then and it was very shiny, smooth, and I personally remember it feeling soft and holding up under the Texas humidity perfectly. I know a lot of ppl under the CGM method say that silicones are a no no, but my hair really loves them (although I’m open to using products without them). Fast forward to now and I have yet to have one day that looks as good as it did back then. My biggest issue is that the hair around the top of my head tends to be frizzy no matter what I do. Think of it like halo frizz! Like my bangs do not hold their shape at ALL. They always end up frizzy. I don’t heat style nor do I color my hair, so it’s very healthy. I just feel like it’s always dry. Sometimes, there will be patches that look moisturized and you can see the beautiful S shape, but it’ll be put off by frizz that surrounds other parts of my hair. I genuinely don’t know if I’m not putting enough product in my hair, or if I’m styling incorrectly (like not putting enough water?). I don’t think it’s moisture overload or protein overload because my hair can take A LOT of moisturizing ingredients and I’ve never had issues with protein. The only conclusion I can come to is that I’m styling wrong 😭. I find it hard to believe the Olaplex products would suddenly just stop working because my hair gained a couple of inches you know? I’ve tried so many products to see if I could get better results, and I always end up going back to the Olaplex stuff. I’d like to find a replacement for the Olaplex 6 (which is a styling cream) because it’s just too expensive in the long run. It’s $30 for 3.3 oz which compared to other brands is quite expensive. I don’t plan on cutting my hair to a shorter length so I’d like to find an alternative to it, but I’m having trouble with that too. I’ve tried a lot of styling creams with no luck. I’ve used Curlsmith’s Weightless Air Dry Cream (it worked ok but I couldn’t take the smell), Pureology Color Fanatic Leave In (worked well but I couldn’t take the smell, it gave me a migraine), AG Fast Food Leave In (couldn’t take the smell and not enough moisture), Redken All Soft Leave In (didn’t give my hair enough moisture to hold on to), AG Recoil (did absolutely nothing for my hair), Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Gel (the extra hard hold one in the red bottle, didn’t do well recently), among many others 😩. I’m just about at my wit’s end with my hair. I don’t want to cut it because I love having long hair and when it looks good, it looks REALLY nice (even though I’ve been struggling for a while lol 😭), but the consistency is so hard to get. Also money doesn’t grow on trees, and unfortunately as much as I like the Olaplex 6, I really would like to find a less expensive product that will last me longer. I’m okay with keeping the Olaplex 9 and Argan Oil in my rotation because the main crux of my styling is a cream, so I tend to use more of that than anything else. The Olaplex 9 also gives me beautiful shine like no other product and it’s a good heat protectant. The Argan Oil helps me seal everything in. I even remember back when my hair looked its best how the products felt. My hair would feel very slippery when styling. Like once I put everything in, there was a lot of slip, and that was my telltale sign of “Ok this should look good tmrw.” I never feel that nowadays, not sure why. I’ve tried gels and mousses and they don’t work well for me at all. Mousse made my hair feel even more dry (but also sticky? It was a weird feeling) and I could never get a cast with gel and it always ended up feeling sticky no matter what I did. I feel like the LCO method works the best for me. There are a couple of products left I want to try. The Briogeo Curl Charisma Leave In sounds enticing to me and they just released an Air Dry Cream I wouldn’t mind trying either. Ulta is really good about returns so I usually will buy one and then if it doesn’t work just return it and swap for another one. Sorry about writing so much 😅. I just wanted to vent about the situation to someone who would understand the hair struggles lol. Hopefully I can figure this out. I’d really like my good hair days to come back. Having a good hair day really is a self confidence booster. And also, a lot of my favorite video game characters have awesome long hair which inspires me to make my mine look the best it can too 😭.

Amazing results! I was wondeirng about adding all those stylers into fine hair. I guess, judt a snall amouny of each for me, then.

Have you tried umberto gianinni? I would love to see a one brand wash day with that brand 😁

Yeah, that’s the thing with L'Oréal products, very strong perfume smell.

I've tried the shampoo and conditioner, the weird thing is that I didn't think the conditioner had a good slip. As far as drugstore gels go, and I've tried several brands, I find them to be a disappointment. I'm all for drugstore hair products, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing any of them. I haven't tried the cream, but I think it'll be fine. I'm currently using L'Oréal Elive Dream Lengths Curls Collection, which I like. They just don't have a styler. I really don't concern myself with what's in the ingredients list.

The isopropyl alcohol is acting as a solvent for the Behentrimonium chloride which is the conditioning cationic ingredient even the high end products use it

It does look nice 😊 i dont understand why drugstore products are supposed to be bad. There are a lot of nice products for a fraction of the price 😅 Personally I like silicones as Well. Only downside is remembering to cleanse regularly.

Thank you . Iv been wanting a review on these. X

I love their air dry cream!!

Both looks nice to me though

Iv been using the brush and found that the groves were not wide enough for my hair juice of clumps. It does my hair more justice. . . Right off to boyfriend 😉 at 1:19 am here in the UK lol🎉

Its so true. Its what look you want and like more

Thanks for all the info! I always appreciate your way of being both brief & thorough. Nice to hear a simple explanation between amodimethicone vs dimenthicone bc Lab Muffin got me interested in the former for damage. I have hard water damage so I’m really interested in the pre wash treatment but like you I’m always wondering if not having fresh hair is a good thing. I think even when I did the CS Bond Salve the first 2 times I rinsed or washed first and got much better results than the third time not doing so. The El Vive Damage repair shampoo has been really good to my hair & I’m pretty sure it has silicones so maybe the entire line could work for me to rotate in sometimes, but I’ll start with the pre wash. 👏🏻

Lina. Wow 🎉

For me, The Ever Pure Bond Pre-Poo was my "toe" dip into strengthening products. I'm a 2B, low density, wavy. It helped. Did not love the S/C. Protein treatments packed a longer lasting punch, but if you have the time for a pre-poo, this one won't break the bank and I found it beneficial used every other wash day.

I love the music!

nice results ! does the shampoo and conditioner influence the results? meaning: what shampoo and conditioner can we use before applying these products? thank you for the vídeo demonstration 🙏😊 l hope you had a good time at the wedding! 🥂

I actually have type 3A-B hair and can only use the gel on it's own (I'd over moisturize if I used all the other stuff) It's a nice gel, I definitely got elongation, but the hold was just ok.

Yayyyyaaaaayyyyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Awesome results!!

She looks so gorgeous with it trimmed shorter in back and maybe she can go even shorter than that sometime. Now to fit her new look she needs to get herself some new clothes and shoes. Time to for a clothing closet clean out video.

How color safe is this rinse?

thank you for the video demonstration, Lina 🙏 glad to see you put the scissors away 😁

I am loving the volume! I might copy your technique with the buff 😅

I love apple cider vinegar rinses! Your hair came out great and you can really tell the difference. 😊 I usually just do a cup of water and a tablespoon of the vinegar but my hair is alot curlier and shorter so.

Your hair looks amazing! The color even looks better!!!

Do you rinse the vinegar out before styling?

I ended up buying the shine kit after watching this video and OMG the results are indeed incredible!! P.S. Your awestruck response is so satisfying haha

15:49 😱

Love your doggies, they're sweet❤❤❤

Wow! Your curls look great on day 2. Mine doesn't look that good. Guess maybe the products. You have gorgeous hair. I'm waiting for my brush today , will revisit your video to try get those results. Thank you❤

You cutting the pieces of your hair gave me life because I do it all the time especially when I'm in need of a shape up 😅. Just as a styling technique have you ever tried pincurls on problematic sections? I find it works super well if I have an event and want my hair to look more cohesive. I was intrigued when I saw Sophie try that technique on her friend (i thought they were sisters lol) and made me want to try that brush styling. Also the dogs at the end are so freaking cute!!!

I loved when you pulled out the scissors. I had a clump that was dangly and stretched out and always drawing attention to itself and I pulled out the scissors too.

Ole❤🎉

💃💃💃💃

Thanks for this! I love how easy you made sectioning because that's always been a nightmare for me! Will definitely be trying your method. 😊

Looking good, Lina! I have the Bounce Curl brush and do use it occasionally. I have 2b-3a high density, medium porosity hair that a couple of inches past my shoulders. The brush works well, but I found that I prefer the definition of the Denman brush. Thanks for the sectioning info-I really struggle with that part of styling. You make it look so easy that I’m hopeful that I can replicate that step.
