Totally agree! I have such a hard time finding products for my thin and fine hair. So many products cater to thick or coarse hair and it’s so hard to find good recommendations.
@@a.b.7932 after washing and conditioning my hair I use Garnier leave-in, conditioner Tresemne flawless curls hair mousse', and homemade flaxseed gel. I discovered that you tube has several how to videos including Luisa's. I'm thinking of trying some of the products Luisa has recommended. 😊
When I first found out I had wavy hair (at age 30) I bought these 2 products and the milk was so greasy I didn't realize I had to use way less with lots of water. I love the gel with the kinky curl leave-in because it clumps my hair but I have to add mousse for a little more hold for my waves. Glad you reviewed this, hopefully we get to see an update on your opinion or product combos that worked.
My hair is a 2A wave, high porosity. Most products with enough hold make my hair dry. I just used the curl maker and my waves aren’t as tight as normal(I was scared to use too much so next time I’ll use more) but my hair and waves are so shiny, clumpy, and defined without being crunchy or dry. I’m obsessed!
My hair is very similar to yours, I have fine wavy curly hair as well and it’s been a struggle for me to find the proper technique and products to curl my hair. I purchased these products a week ago and tried two other techniques from other TH-cam channels and the results were horrible. I was so close to giving up on my curls but I tried your technique tonight and my results were amazing. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your technique and how you explained the process in this video. Because of you I’ll be able to revive my curls and start my curly girl journey the proper way ! Thank you ! ❤️❤️❤️
I read the reviews on the Naturally Curly website and decided they weren't for me. I have wavy to curly hair. Some is fine and some is medium to coarse. But it is long so styling for fine hair works very well for me. I'm so curious about Bounce Curl products. In particular the curl cream and the cream gel. Hope you get to review their products.
I tried the same products that you demo-ed, and it never dried in my hair after a full day. My hair was damp and sticky all day long! I did not like it at all. Threw them away. My very favorite styling product is my homemade flax gel that I customize for my fine hair. I love it. Nothing better.
@@jessiestephens3943 I use a lower ratio of flaxseeds to water than most flax gel recipes that I have seen. My hair is so fine with a closed cuticle and products really weigh it down. I also add a little gelatin. I add marshmallow root, xanthan gum, rosehip oil, dash of glycerin, and epsom salt (magnesium) for curls. Everyone's hair is different and the trick is finding a way to make it to work in your hair. I keep all of my recipes that I have tried and so far I like this one the best. When I perfect it I will start adding anti microbials and I can make it in bigger batches. On the curl mix website they share a recipe for flaxgel, so I used that and altered it.
Luisa could you tell me the name of your diffuser please. I'm using the one that came with my hairdryer but it's subpar. By the way your beautiful inside and out and I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm 65 and I have problem child hair. Lol.
@@LuisaLouis thank you so much! My diffuser really sucks. It ends up making my fine wavy/curly collar length hair look like a birds nest. I'm in Canada so I'll look on amazon.ca. Hopefully they sell it. By the way, I love watching your videos. I wish I could get ringlets like yours.😊
I should have watched this before purchasing today. Ugh. Ok well, I have my $25 gel at home so too late. I decided to buy it bc the ingredients look amazing, and I've been using the cleansing milk like once a week and love it (I shampoo once a week and cowash once week). Fingers crossed 🤞 😬
Hello! Have you tried the coconut water leave-in of this brand? it says "light weight" but I'm not sure, on the ingredients list appear some oils but after the 10th ingredient, so I usually avoid products with too many oils cause they are gonna weigh my hair down, but they are not the main ingredients, maybe this one is better for us with thin curly hair. I'm about to buy it, but I'm not sure :D
I tried the curl maker once and it did not work for my hair, it made it super stringy and curls did not form very well. I even tried diluting it in water and that didn’t really help. Oh well lol. Maybe I’ll try it again.
Everyone is always talking about their fine hair being easily weighed down. My medium-coarse, low po hair is sooo heavy & weighed down so easily. Is coarser hair not supposed to be weighed down or something?
I think it might be because you have low po. Your hair is doing a good job at keeping the moisture in and probably doesn’t need extra products. I would try a very light leave-in + gel on day 1 and maybe only refresh with water and gel on days 2-3-4… and see how your hair reacts 😉
Unfortunately, the curl maker is also too heavy for my very fine, low por, wavy hair. I once used too much, omg. Great curls, but so much cast, had to wash it off again... my hair does not like coconut oil too much either.
Love your results! I wish there were more products for fine curly gals like us. I feel curly hair companies mostly make their products for thick hair.
Totally agree! I have such a hard time finding products for my thin and fine hair. So many products cater to thick or coarse hair and it’s so hard to find good recommendations.
Right there with you gals.

Thank you for this video, I have been wondering about these products. Your hair looks amazing ♥️ be safe be healthy and be happy 🙂
This brand seems amazing. I've been wanting to try it but it's a little pricey. But it seems worth trying!
I hope it works for you 😉
It’s definitely on the expensive end but I’ve loved every product I’ve tried. ESPECIALLY the honey leave in.

My hair is fine low density wavy too. I also found that leave in way too heavy/moisturizing for my hair.

Hello Jessie! I think it is called Black Orchid. You can find this diffuser in my Amazon store. The link is in the description box.😉

Your hair looks amazing! The best I have ever seen it. Maybe it took so long to dry because your hair was very conditioned and moisturized

If you add a small amount of the “CurlMaker” to soaking wet hair, dry then add more when dry..... Lot’s of definition!
Thanks for sharing Beri!

What if you mix milk and water and spray it, it will be greasy?
Could you try the brand Kristin Ess? They have a curly hair line, and some of their other products are curly hair friendly.
will look into it 😉
@@LuisaLouis Aww thank you!! :) Love your videos and I love how interactive you are with the comment section!
Thanks Ash! I appreciate that! I have to be honest, it’s getting harder and harder to keep up 😅
@@LuisaLouis Aww, well don't ever feel pressured to keep making videos. It doesn't seem easy, so I don't blame you for ever needing a break. :)
can the moisture milk be used on refresh days on dry hair without water?
You can but it might be too heavy and weight you hair down. Try and see how your hair react to it 😉
thankyou! can you tell the best product for refreshing curls without water? 😃
