Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

Is the As I am Curling jelly more affordable?

I've never purchased kccc. But the 16oz jar of as I am curling jelly at Sally's is $19 and some change. I stocked up in March when they were running a buy 2 get 1 free sale. Due to my workout schedule I restyle everyday and I'm able to get several wash n goes out of the 16oz jar.

Finally deep conditioned today! Fusion of Culture's wash and go made me want to whip out my jar of Kinky Curly. Ignore the awkward chunks of hair that obviously need separating lol. I fixed it after I took the pics.

Kinky Curly Curling Custard + Curl Love Moisture Milk

My hair is slightly crispy, but not too bad. This is my second time using KCCC and I am surprised by how much definition I got today. I barely used any gel at all (a little really does go a long way). The first time I used a lot more gel but got less definition. I like my results a lot better this time. I think the big difference is that I detangled out of the shower with the Curl Love Moisture Milk and then applied the gel (rather than detangling in the shower with condish, rinsing, then applying leave-in/serum out of the shower before applying gel). I've noticed that I can get away with using very little styling product in general when detangling my hair this way.

Thanks for your review. KCCC and Alikay Naturals Aloe Berry gel are the only two I've tried for wng, so I look forward to seeing what else is out there. I just ordered 2 8oz jars. I could've sworn I wasn't a pj lol.

When I go the the BSS I'll check to see if I can get it on the ground *fingers crossed (well I'll see, because these guys like to try some high street extortion when they are ready)

If you get it I hope you like it. I like that I can get from almost anywhere. I've gotten it at Walmart, target, CVS, and Sally's. Sally's has the 16oz containers which is more cost effective.

Has anyone tried both Camille Rose Curl Maker AND Kinky Curly Curling Custard? How do they compare performance wise?

 

[whiteoleander91]

I really like this woman's results with the Curl Maker gel

I know, right! Based off of the different reviews I've read/watched, it sounds like it's a nice product

Sorry @Holla4mom, Didn't know you asked me a question.

I think stepanie75miller answered this a little later. She said she gets hers for $19. It can also be diluted very well to stretch even farther.

Is it more affordable? It's more affordable than kccc but it isn't a cheap drugstore brand.

Second day hair with Kinky Curly Curling Custard + Curl Love Moisture Milk.

When I first got up my hair was sort of mishaped because of how I slept, so I smoothed my hair back in a bun (no further product needed! my hair was very smooth) and ran a few errands. Took my bun down later and spritzed it lightly with water. My curls sprang back up! lol. My hair is very soft, smells really good, and has a lot of movement. It's frizzy, but I'm pretty sure it's because I kept messing with my hair yesterday before it fully dried and because of how I slept.

I am really surprised by how much I like the KCCC. I thought snotty gels were only for folks with a silky hair texture (my hair is mostly cottony) and/or had mostly defined hair straight out of the shower (my hair is a frizzy poof ball!!).

I don't like snotty gels (at least I didn't used to), but I guess there is a learning curve on how to get them to work for you. For me the most important thing is how I detangle and what leave-in I use. I would truly recommend this gel for all hair types.

I love snotty gels and I wouldn't consider my hair silky. I haven't been successful with Eco like gels. You should try the as I am curling jelly.

I bought Cantu Define and Shine Custard today. I think I heard about it from someone in this thread saying they used it. I just washed my hair yesterday and have it slicked into pigtails so I probably won't use it till the weekend. I'm looking forward to trying it though. I like the texture of it and it smells nice too.

I know! I see the error in my ways lol

I've tried the AIA Curling Jelly, but that was awhile back. I remember my hair feeling super soft. I still have some left, I will give it another try now that I have a better idea of how to use runny gels.

 

[whiteoleander91]

I think the best thing about the KCCC is that my hair feels super moisturized and touchable. I can't believe I slept on KCCC for so long lol. Now all of the gels that I mentally dismissed over the years b/c of their consistency are calling to me

 

[whiteoleander91]

Argh the pic I posted looks fine on my laptop but looks upside down on my phone

 

[Anaisin]

My hair with the souffle gel & eco styler olive was awesome. Didn't get a pic but I'll be using it again soon anyway. Doing my hair tomorrow

I have to try it again, I used it when I didn't really know how to do my hair.

Hi Ladies! So I was scrolling through my Instagram photos and my hair is probably only 1-1.5 inches longer than it was over a year ago smh!!! I have got to find out what doing wrong.

 

[Joigirl]

Did you measure your hair?

For those wondering about Camile Rose Curl Maker, that is my holy grail gel. I love that stuff. My hair come out perfect and feels so soft and bouncy. I've also started to appreciate KKCC since learning to use a lighter hand. Also, sweet soul magic gives me BIG hair, which I love.

How are you applying product? What's your reggie? I big chopped to 2 inches of hair and it was definitely a learning experience. My hair would be longer if I transitioned for at least a year.

ughhh now I have to try the Curl Maker lol. I almost picked some up today, but chickened out. PJ problems

 

[VinaytheMrs]

@Joigirl no I didn't measure but I used a photo of me stretching my hair as a check. I will post it later today. @Karmi i usually apply a moisturizer after washing followed with an oil. When it comes to the wash and go I usually shingle product or take it through. I don't lose too much hair and it's mostly longer hair not broken pieces. When I do see broken pieces it's here and there... Not enough to explain stagnant hair.

Where do you get your Camile Rose Curl Maker. I cant seem to find it at any stores. The stores that I have tried are: Target, CVS and Sally's.

So I finally took my twists down after putting them in a couple of days ago and using La Bella on the back half of my hair and Deva gel on the front. The results are AMAZING!! This is like one of the best twistouts. I wish I would have used the La Bella gel for the whole head though, the Deva gel is alittle sticky and doesnt really provide a good hold. I think I'll continue to use La Bella gel for twistouts but definately not for wng's.

I've only seen it at target. I don't go to target very often, but I plan to go soon.

I got 2nd day hair. I wet in shower to reactivate the as I am curling jelly from yesterday. When I exited shower I put some curling jelly in my palm rubbed together and scrunched throughout my hair. I'm pleased with how it turned out. It saved a lot of time this morning. My hair looks fuller then yesterday, but I like it so far.

 

[Karmi]

pelohello
I usually get it from target. You may have to search a few. I have to go to the more black side of town to find it. I ordered it once from Amazon.

I haven't been using a hard gel and I love it! But unless I use some oil after my hair dries it doesn't shine. I also know what I was doing wrong previously with my WNG's I wasn't running the products thru my hair to get complete coverage. I was just rubbing the top layers, so the inside was dry and tangly.

Coating every hair definitely makes a difference. That's why I love the shingling method. It's like every piece of hair is left to itself. I have always tried to do some type of shingling and I also work in sections. I think this is why I haven't had any tangling or SSK issues. I watched a ton of shingling videos.
