Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Gel + Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk

This gel is awesome! It has a similar consistency to Kinky Curly (I don't really have any other snotty gel to compare it to), but goes on smoother. I don't have any frizz at all. My hair is mostly dry and the hold is softer than 1st day KCCC. The gel smells like fruit loops and I got it for $2.99? I think? at Target.

Something that I have found interesting about runny gels is that they don't increase my shrinkage (which I assumed they would b/c they are a lot lighter than the gels I usually use)...how my hair looks wet right after applying is what it looks like dry. Really weird! It's still a big adjustment to get used to how runny gel feels as I apply it to my hair...I'm used to more...resistance? drag? with thicker gels.

KCCC vs. Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Gel:
**first impression comparison**

-They both smell very sweet (KCCC smells like marshmallows to me--Garnier smells like fruit loops)
-Garnier is better at keeping my frizz at bay...at least for day 1 hair.
-KCCC has better ingredients
-Garnier is a lot cheaper and I can get it at many different stores
-Garnier applies a lot more smoothly than KCCC
-Garnier is in a squeeze tube which is convenient when it comes to gels like this
-Garnier clumps my curls together better
-Don't really notice a difference in dry times

Both gels are great, and if you really like KCCC but want to make it last a little longer b/c of price, the Garnier gel would be a good gel to keep in rotation. The Garnier Fructis Pure Clean gel is a nice alternative to KCCC.

Holding out til the weekend but I can't wait!

Be sparingly with the souffle. I use it as a moisturizer under a hard hold gel. Solo, it's very greasy if you use more than a pea amount.

@VinaytheMrs I can't wait to hear how all your new products work for you!

I let my hair get wet in shower this morning. When I got out I put two pumps of the Camille rose curl maker in my palms rubbed them together and scrunched into my hair then I shook my head. That's all took ten minutes tops.

 

[OhTall1]

Wow, I didn't have to resort to a puff today!

I got a little bit of steam from the shower, sprayed in some Queen Helene Curl Reactivator Spray and scrunched in a little bit of Curls Whipped Curl Cream.

Old pic. Aussie instant freeze gel. I was moisturizing everyday with water Eden Bodywork pudding souffle. This is probably 4th day hair. When I wear puffs I don't re do it often. Wearing it down I re do my wng every other day in the summer

 

[Anaisin]

I forgot how much I liked that gel, gonna get it this weekend along with Garnier Pure clean

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

On third day hair with the Sweet Soul Magic Curl Stimulator and leave in conditioner. I should have taken a picture of how mashed up my hair looked after sleeping last night. All I did was lightly dampen my hair in the shower and shake to hide the parts. The white spots are droplets of water.

I'll wash tomorrow and style again with the same products.

 

[VinaytheMrs]

I would love to see everyone's hair when they remove their scarves in the morning! I'm intrigued our hair is so easily refreshable

3rd day hair!!! I used a tiny bit of curling soufflé and I don't like it so far . I only tried it on a few curls they feel greasy and not as defined as my Eco curls. I think I might overnight deep condition today!!!

My hair is usually squished to my head.

I've only tried the curling soufflé once it was to greasy. It is in the back of my closet. I may revisit at some point but I didn't like it. I felt like I was ready for a slo glo commercial.
Eta: don't know why picture is at the top of post.

 

[VinaytheMrs]

@stephanie75miller lol!!! Yes it's bringing back memories of my jeri curl lol!!! Msybe I can exchange this for olive oil Eco and mix it with oil.... Hmmmm

Use the souffle under a hard hold gel as a leave in. When I say use a small amount , I mean less than you think a pea size is.

It took me a year to use the souffle when it first came out. I just cracked open a second jar that I bought last year.

2nd day hair with the Garnier gel

I really like how this gel is holding up! I spritzed it lightly with water and it looks great and still smells really yummy. I think I might have been a bit too heavy handed with the gel (a little goes a long way) b/c some spots have less movement than others. The hold is very flexible.

ETA: Hair this morning.
I used Mill Creek Botanicals Jojoba conditioner for my protein last night. I followed with a DIY banana conditioner and clay rinse.

I used the As I Am Curling Jelly for the first time today and I like it. Lightly diluted with water, it gave me a shinier and softer hold than KCCC. My hair was more volumous at the roots. It also dried faster than with KCCC but it flaked. I'm not used to this so it felt like a lot, although I was able to pick/ scratch out most of what I could see.

My roots have puffed up somewhat and I can no longer feel a gel cast there after being in a hot/humid environment this evening. That being said, my roots feel soft and not shrunken and I would use this again.

I don't use a leave in and I lightly oil rinse before applying my gel to soaking wet hair. If I can get the flakes down, I'll have finally found another gel I can happily dabble in.

Ok so less than a pea size for my entire head or per section? I'm def going to layer it under a hard gel tomorrow!

Per section. Lemme know how it works out. I dip my finger in and what's on it I use. I don't scoop, just dip and then slide down the hair.

 

[Anaisin]

Used the cantu custard

 

[Anaisin]

It's fully dried, I like it

You guys are some serious product pushers! Now I'm conflicted between As I Am and Camille Rose.

 

[SheenaVee]

Some of the products you guys mention in this thread are not available over here or are hard to find and can only be purchased online.

This thread is turning me into a product junkie again. I thought I was over that phase. I blame you all.

Haha, we posted similar things at the same time.

 

[Joigirl]

Good thing I can't use any products with coconut oil. I would be running out to try new gels and I have more than enough!

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Prepoo'd with SM Purification Masque and a little EO Rose & Chamomile conditioner, cowashed with Hydroquench Brazilian Cocoa Cowash, then added Sweet Soul Magic leave in and gel. Currently air drying.

That looks like a good combo. I am debating between Eco and The last of my Hello Curly for my WNG this week... I also need to try the Treluxe gel I recently bought.

Please let me know how that Treluxe gel is I've been wanting to try it but the price throws me off.

Will do. I'll probably try it in a week or so.

Day 2 hair after sleeping with a headscarf, and a shower cap on my ends. In the morning, I refreshed with steam in the shower.
