The results from the purple looked amazing. The blue one didn't look as curly. No to the green one. But I would definitely love to see one two three gel video. Please
A hair video was a nice surprise!! The only products I can use this summer are the cs shine leave in and hard hold gel. I used the new volume cream with the two above to create a really nice wash day. It is so hot and humid in the northeast, my hair needs the polyquats that the shine gel provides. The curl retainer gel looks like it was too heavy for your hair. Flexijelly looks great but aqua shape up gel results were beautiful!!
The curlsmith curl defining souffle is a holy grail for me. I have bought the in-shower style fixer too, but not tried that one yet. I will definitely give these a try too....
My go to every wash day is the Hydro Style Flex gel with the feather light protein cream. I have the purple gel and the humidity gel. The purple gel doesn't have enough hold for me. The green gel makes my hair look like straw. The humidity line is the only line by Curlsmith that I actually hate. Have been using their new mousse with the hydro style Flex gel and it's perfect in the high humidity.
What a nice surprise to see a new hair video after a minute! On that note, I'd love to see you one day become a trichologist and/or a hairdresser and since you have a chemistry degree your knowledge would be incredibly helpful. I hope you've found more inspiration for new haircare videos, and I would enjoy seeing a bond repair treatment showdown or brush styling and curling with a round brush like one would with a Denman brush. I wish you all the best Courtney!
Courtney, what a nice surprise...... a hair video! I am currently on a journey to try and find the best Curl Smith curl jell for my hair. This video really helped steer me in the right direction. And, yes, 1,2,3, jell video please!
I havent been styling my hair either here latley. 1) its too hot 🥵 and 2) im trying to just let my hair just be lol. Ive been wearing alot of french braids of late and my hair feels better for it, instead of constantly adding mousse or gel and scrunching scrunching scrunching and diffusing.
Hey there Courtney! I think it would be nice to see you use all 3 gels (123 gel method) To be fair, I don't think the 2nd wash day hair wasn't treated like the other 2.
Yay, what an amazing surprise today! Not only is it a hair video, but it’s also Curlsmith and their gels! It’s like Christmas. Lol. I love Curlsmith! The soufflé gives me a harder hold than the in-shower fixer or the shine gel. Go figure 🤷♀️ Glad to see the break helped and you’re having fun with the hair content again. I loved your other content too. ❤
Courtney, I do not have the same type of hair as you, but I love watching your curly hair videos! I love your take on the products. I also like seeing single use products instead of heavily layered products. It is very helpful when you show your hair after styling and at the end of the day. I am also a mama and understand those busy days with your kids. Thank you for making this video! 😊
I have learned more from you than anyone. Even multiple hairstylists. Thank you for all the effort you put into making these videos. Btw-I’ve been doing the curly hair drill for 10 years now. So, this let’s you know how much I appreciate your knowledge of ingredients and what curly hair needs or doesn’t. Thank you!!
Thank you for all of your videos! I found you too late I think but I thank you for leaving all your helpful videos up for us trying to figure out our hair! I had straight hair all my life and a few years ago a few clumps here and there started waving and now today I have part wavy part curly and a little tiny bit still straight hair. It's thick and coarse. I am struggling to find a good stronghold gel. And I struggle with hair that too easily gets over moisturized. Anyway you are appreciated by me I would never have tried to start this CG method if I hadn't stumbled across you. I think actually wavy hair is pretty misunderstood and even my own ( former) hairstylist didn't understand . But now I have a new stylist ( she has wavy hair too & she understands) and I have your videos to help me go forward!
Hydro Style Flexi Jelly with Chi hard hold gel is my holy grail. I get almost a week from it. The Frizz Rescue Gel and the Shape Up Gel, I use for refreshing sometimes.
I would love to see you do 123 gel with these. I haven't had much luck with that process. The third gel almost always seems to be too much and my hair just gets product build up. But I do well layering 2 gels. Also look up the Got 2 B glued gel in the black tube. It's got some of the strongest hold I have ever seen where I actually could not break the gel cast unless used sparingly. Like harder than Harry's. Granted, it won't fit into your one brand wash day series, but it may be fun to experiment.
I only tried Aqua Gel once because it doesn’t seem economical having to use so much product. It’s so runny, you could almost use it as your leave-in/ cream. The Flexi Jelly has been my favorite gel for almost a year (and that’s big)! I thought immediately when I saw your results that it seems to be the best of both worlds for you too. I pair it with Evo Happy Campers. It’s a leave-in/ UVA UVB protectant/ dry time reducer, but it DOES contain silicones. It’s AMAZING! I would love to hear you breakdown the ingredients, since it’s not CGM friendly, but it doesn’t seem to build up at all.
I just signed up for the curls monthly subscription package and I would love to see you work your way through each of the monthly packages and creating a wash day and giving your review on the products. That would be awesome.
I love pairing the Featherlight Protein Cream with the Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer. As I need extra hold, I'll top them off with the Curlsmith hairspray. That 1-2-3 gel video would be amazing!!!
Such a lovely surprise to see this video. The purple one gave you such a fabulous result. Yes please to the 123 layering gels. Your hair has really grown. What hair cut do you ask your hairdresser for please? Thanks Courtney. Blessings from the United Kingdom. X
The frizz rescue, in my opinion, doesn’t hold as well as the others. I’ve tried frizz rescue with and without its sister shampoo and conditioner. I’m not really impressed with the line. To use up my frizz rescue gel, I mix it with hydrojelly gel and curl soufflé. This has given me a good hold while providing soft wavy curly hair. I just purchased the in-shower style fixer and will be trying it out. You made my day by providing this comparison video. Thank you. ❤
Okay good, I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t get great results from the green gel. By the end of the day my waves are so limp and frizzy when I use that gel.
What a pleasure... you came back with one brand wash day... please do 1,2,3, gel wash day., And keep Spoiled us with your One Brand Wash Day series .... You have no idea how much it helps later on to choose curly hair products out there on line or the drugstore... 💜
3 wash days in one video! Way to ease back in...😂. Frizz gel does just that. Even on my fine hair I got more waves then curls. Yes to seeing how the 1,2,3 turns out!
Yes please! I had never heard of using all three gels. My curls never seem to stay bouncy after sleep, even though I am using a satin pillowcase because my bonnet never stays on lol.
My favorite is a #9 fragrance free curlsmith, #8 souffle, and flexy jelly #7 with other gel. Me falta probar el color verde 😢🥰 thanks for this video ❤ God bless you
So great to see you enjoying your waves and curls! Hope you're recovering from your pneumonia! I had it 2 years ago in the summer and it was the worst! Take care of yourself! ❤
YAY !! I just started with Curlsmith and really starting to like their products. Thanks for doing this viid. Have you tried Curlsmith Effortless Waves spray? I like it to deepen the section of really loose waves.
You answered in this video how/what I wanted to get I was going to do the frizz shampoo/cond and the volume mouse (and One of the two leave ins). I like thee flex jelly best on you then the last one, the oldest then frizz I don’t necessarily like grit cause it makes my hair feel dry n dirty
I see one of your Amazon pics is a conditioning bar. Would you consider doing a video on shampoo and conditioner bars? There are so many to choose from these days😮
Curl talk just brought out gel and cream fragrance Free and protein free no alcohol it amazing I used ouida unbelievable Bonds shampoo and it's amazing wavy and curl look amazing
The frizz rescue didn’t have enough hold for me, I ended up with a half bottle of it and a half bottle of the Hydro flex, so I combined them and made my own summer concoction! Working great so far.
I liked the hydro style flexi jelly the most in all the curlsmith gels but the aqua shape up comes a close second cause it’s got protein and i get good results with protein ~y gels. Courtney can you compare the curlsmith new mousse to foam? Like do a comparison video?
I've been loving the Aqua Gel. I use it with the Verb Foaming Gel. I do get a cast with both those products together. I get a solid 5 days out of my wash day where it still looks good with minimal refreshing. Interested in maybe trying out tje other 2 as well.
Here are a couple of video's I have done: th-cam.com/video/uXVnh33kB1g/w-d-xo.html -How to Diffuse Wavy Curly Hair FAST for Definition & Volume th-cam.com/video/jAkHw3nl5Po/w-d-xo.html -How I Diffuse My Wavy Hair
I was thinking of asking: could you stack these gels? If so, how? And then you mentioned you've done so before and asked if we'd be interested to learn more…so, YES! Please do a video about stacking gels for longer, stronger hold 😁
I'd love to see a 123 Gel washday ❤❤❤ If possible I'd love to see one where you switch the Frizz Control Gel out for the Shine Gel with stronghold - if you get the beautiful waves and curls from the Shape Up Aqua Gel, but the Strong Hold of the Shine Gel or if it weighs the waves down. I'd also love, if you could try the Ouidad and the Curl Keeper because I have heard someone else say, that the really liquid formulas work better on waves, and I think we all saw, that the Shape Up Aqua Gel with it's really liquidy formula was the best wave/curl enhancer. Or did I miss a video where you already tried one of the before mentioned?
Just remembered, Gena Marie (also on TH-cam) talked about liquid formulas, but my hair is more like yours than hers. More wavy with some curls thrown in between. So I'm usually buying the products that work well on your hair and I've been always happy with those. Thank you ! ❤
I’ve got a couple questions. You’ve really helped me get started with my curly hair. I started in Feb. 2024. I’m having trouble scrunching out the crunch. Any suggestions? Also you mentioned some products you use when air drying. What are they?
I just bought the Hydro Style Flexi Jelly and I need to have a word with Curlsmith about what kind of sorcery is in that bottle 😂 I used it with the Hydrate and Plump leave in as well, and got the best style results I’ve ever gotten!
I wonder how well the frizz rescue retainer would do paired with the AG Recoil curl cream? 🤔 I might have to try that. I would love to see you do a video showing how to use 3 gels together in one wash day. 😊
Hi Courtney I tried to search your videos to see if you tried out carols daughter products? I am thinking of their leave in conditioner and curl shaping gel! However after watching your videos I might try out the mielle curl gel and another leave in conditioner I have fine Asian hair so I can’t use products that are too heavy :(
I need to give curlsmith another chance. I purchased the entire frizz rescue line and it was a disaster. My hair turned into a giant fuzz ball. I ended up returning it and was too hesitant to try anything else lol.
I would retest gels one and two. Use more of the first one, and not go to the gym. Try to have the same activity each day. Definitely more definition with gel 2 and 3, especially 3.
How many washes and stylings can you get from a set of curl smith products? They are a bit pricey for me so if they lasted several months I could probably justify the cost.
I've started using the blue one, I find it looks great on day one but my hair is soooo shiny the curls slip out. I think I need a stronger hold gel, do CS do one? (I currently use CS leave in, foam and the gel)
I'd love to see a 1 2 3 gel washday!
Yes! Do a video using all 3 gels at once. 😊
I teared up a bit seeing you happy to do a hair video again. 🙏🏻☺️💜
I’ve really enjoyed your other content though☺️☺️☺️
me too
The results from the purple looked amazing. The blue one didn't look as curly. No to the green one. But I would definitely love to see one two three gel video. Please
Missed you

Thank goodness, a hair video! I've had no motivation since your last one😢. We love you Courtney!
You're the best!
Yes, We do
I love the hydro style flexi gel! It’s my go to gel! I pair it with the air dry leave in and always get great results!
My go to every wash day is the Hydro Style Flex gel with the feather light protein cream. I have the purple gel and the humidity gel. The purple gel doesn't have enough hold for me. The green gel makes my hair look like straw. The humidity line is the only line by Curlsmith that I actually hate. Have been using their new mousse with the hydro style Flex gel and it's perfect in the high humidity.
YES! 1 2 3 please, YES! Helpful!
What a nice surprise to see a new hair video after a minute! On that note, I'd love to see you one day become a trichologist and/or a hairdresser and since you have a chemistry degree your knowledge would be incredibly helpful. I hope you've found more inspiration for new haircare videos, and I would enjoy seeing a bond repair treatment showdown or brush styling and curling with a round brush like one would with a Denman brush. I wish you all the best Courtney!
I think all 3 looked great! Thanks for the awesome comparison ❤ Yes, please do the 1-2-3 gel method with these!
Courtney, what a nice surprise...... a hair video! I am currently on a journey to try and find the best Curl Smith curl jell for my hair. This video really helped steer me in the right direction. And, yes, 1,2,3, jell video please!

I love giving my curls a styling break every now and then! 👍🏻
I love the “chunk of a curl”. 😊
Me too!
Hey there Courtney! I think it would be nice to see you use all 3 gels (123 gel method) To be fair, I don't think the 2nd wash day hair wasn't treated like the other 2.
Pleaseee!! Do de 1, 2 ,3 gels.. im curious 😅
Would love that too and since she's had deeper knowledge over the years I feel like this would be a nice revisit!
Wow the aqua one really adds a ton of shine!!!❤
Yay, what an amazing surprise today! Not only is it a hair video, but it’s also Curlsmith and their gels! It’s like Christmas. Lol. I love Curlsmith! The soufflé gives me a harder hold than the in-shower fixer or the shine gel. Go figure 🤷♀️ Glad to see the break helped and you’re having fun with the hair content again.

Yes to 123 and also maybe 12 with the shape up aqua gel and hydrostyle flexi jelly
I have not tried everything from Curlsmith but I like everything I have tried. Wonderful brand.
I find that I love the shape up gel but it isn’t a strong enough hold for me. So, I use it as a serum and put a hard hold gel over top.
That's a great idea! I'm definitely trying this next wash day!!
Hydro Style Flexi Jelly with Chi hard hold gel is my holy grail. I get almost a week from it. The Frizz Rescue Gel and the Shape Up Gel, I use for refreshing sometimes.
I would love to see you do 123 gel with these. I haven't had much luck with that process. The third gel almost always seems to be too much and my hair just gets product build up. But I do well layering 2 gels.

Yes! I would love to see a 1-2-3 gel layering of all 3 Curlsmith gels:)

So good to have you back 🥰. Could you consider doing a review on the new JessiCurl clarifying shampoo? Your insight is very refreshing.
I love pairing the Featherlight Protein Cream with the Frizz Rescue Curl Retainer. As I need extra hold, I'll top them off with the Curlsmith hairspray.
That 1-2-3 gel video would be amazing!!!
Yes, let’s see the 1,2,3 gel method with these please!
Yes, I-2-3 Please!!! I have the Aqua & Hydro Gel. Want to try the newer Frizz Rescue. Since I found your channel....I LOVE MY HAIR....thanks!!!
Such a lovely surprise to see this video. The purple one gave you such a fabulous result. Yes please to the 123 layering gels. Your hair has really grown. What hair cut do you ask your hairdresser for please? Thanks Courtney. Blessings from the United Kingdom. X

Would love to see a video of using 1,2,3 gel wash day.
What about the styling souffle? I really like that one.
Yes to 1 2.3 gel 😊
What a pleasure...
you came back with one brand wash day...
please do 1,2,3, gel wash day.,
And keep Spoiled us with your One Brand Wash Day series ....
You have no idea how much it helps later on to choose curly hair products out there on line or the drugstore... 💜
I think number 2 was the best on your hair. I still use the strong hold shine gel on my waves it’s the only thing that works on my hair
3 wash days in one video! Way to ease back in...😂. Frizz gel does just that. Even on my fine hair I got more waves then curls. Yes to seeing how the 1,2,3 turns out!
Yes please! I had never heard of using all three gels. My curls never seem to stay bouncy after sleep, even though I am using a satin pillowcase because my bonnet never stays on lol.

It's wonderful seeing your videos again. I have missed you.
I actually preferred the purple on you!
So great to see you enjoying your waves and curls! Hope you're recovering from your pneumonia! I had it 2 years ago in the summer and it was the worst! Take care of yourself! ❤
Great to see you back doing some hair content. I've missed you 😢
YAY !! I just started with Curlsmith and really starting to like their products. Thanks for doing this viid. Have you tried Curlsmith Effortless Waves spray? I like it to deepen the section of really loose waves.

I have fine Asian hair so I can’t use products that are too heavy :(

How many washes and stylings can you get from a set of curl smith products? They are a bit pricey for me so if they lasted several months I could probably justify the cost.
Enjoyed a hair video. I liked the last gel the best. Your is starting to get long again….looksgreat!
Need help with which one to git of curl Smith gel
Which is the least crunchy and has the most soft results?;😊
I've started using the blue one, I find it looks great on day one but my hair is soooo shiny the curls slip out. I think I need a stronger hold gel, do CS do one? (I currently use CS leave in, foam and the gel)
Yes! 123
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you!!!
Do any of these not contain sodium hydroxide? It acts like lye in my hair making it stringy looking.
Yes! Lets do a 123
Curlsmith conditioner BURNED my hair and scalp.
It took months of Dr’s and lots of herbal remedies to help my scalp. I had to cut my hair ti the neck.
Wow! I’m so sorry to hear that! Did you let Curlsmith know?
There must have been something in the ingredients that you had a severe allergic reaction to hope you feel better
