just some water and a little bit extra gel!

that can definitely happen! It's all down to personal preference :)

Both, they don't have to be from the same brand and they don't have to be from the same line within a brand. Of course, most brands will design their shampoo and conditioner to work well together, but if you don't like one it doesn't mean that you cannot use the other

Depends on the gel you use! If it has a good slip, like ours, then it’s a great technique. If it’s a more thick/sticky formula better not - you’re better off brushing the hair before and then using the gel

For this whole playlist I used my Tootilab products!

@@tootilab I’m referring to the styling product not brand you used in styling hair video

@@MarcP5267I only have one styling product - the All Weather Styling Gel 🤗

I Used my Tootilab All Weather Styling Gel! Only that, nothing else!

If by water-soluble you are referring specifically to silicones, you'll be happy to know that none of our products contain any silicones - water soluble or not. If you're referring about the overall water solubility of the formula, I'm afraid the reality is that no cream-based product can be water-soluble. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet regarding this. Creams are emulsions created by a mixture of water and oils, and no oil is ever water soluble. They always need surfactants to be cleansed away. Any brand who claims the opposite is not being truthful.

Hi! That is correct, no proteins in the shampoo and conditioner!

@@tootilabmay I ask why the shampoo and conditioner doesn’t contain protein?

@@MarcP5267 there was no benefit in adding them. The purpose of these products is gentle cleansing and moisturising, not repairing, so adding proteins wouldn't have improved their performance

@@tootilab ok sounds logical. Question, why do most hair care brands have protein in their products then? Some have them higher in ingredients list and some have them lower which means “higher or lower concentrate of proteins.

@@MarcP5267 that's not really true :) some products have proteins and others don't. It's all down to what the purpose of that specific product is. Normally, proteins are used for strengthening and repairing, so they're often found in products with that function!

you're very welcome!!

It's a combination of the right haircut, applying my products close to the roots and scrunching, drying with my head upside down and genetics! Not all curls curl from the root, especially looser patterns

You are so welcome!! Glad it was helpful ❤

I'm low porosity! I don't have a video on it yet but I'm working on it as part of a next Bootcamp!

Absolutely my pleasure!

Great tips and tricks

Let me know how it goes!!

Glad you found it helpful! <3

There’s a saying with curly hair with styling products. “If it don’t cast it won’t last”.

Thank you so much! ❤

Glad you found it helpful!!

That is so true 😅 and that's a great way to look at it! I've started to refer to it as thick strands when thinking about the individual hairs, and thick hair when it's the overall quantity

Good advice!

It's not about the individual products, it's about the product type! There are many options that can work depending on your hair needs. I have a more detailed video on how to choose them in my beginner's bootcamp on curled.tootilab.com!

Do you talk about hair porosity and products for low and high porosity? Your hair is beautiful! Is your hair high or low porosity?

I use our Tootilab All Weather Styling Gel, which has heat protection already built in!

You're very welcome!!

Not all conditioners are the same though 😅 if you have fine hair and you buy one that is too think it can weigh it down and make it look greasy

@@tootilab Conditioner is conditioner.

@@lottedunnell1906 I couldn't disagree more! And any cosmetic chemist would say the same. But you do you 🤗

@@tootilab Of course you disagree. It's your incentive to push products and keep telling people this to make money. I'll happily continue doing me, sound in the knowledge that I'm not ripping anyone off.

@@lottedunnell1906 where have you seen me pushing products? I haven't mentioned a single brand in any of my videos 😅 I'm just saying to pay attention to which conditioner to buy, not that you need to buy more than one. If you'd watched the rest of my content you'd know I'm all for simple, streamlined routines, and I encourage people to use less rather than more. FYI, I haven't done any paid brand collab, so I am currently not earning anything from my content. Just trying to help people who are frustrated and can't get their hair to work as they would like.
