The TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Amplifier is a fantastic cream gel with multiple polyquat ingredients. To me, it perfoms similarly to the Ouidad weather up gel (although it has a beefier hold & slightly more moisture). It's also reasonably priced in the UK, where it's often on sale for £6.99. I can use it as a one & done, with just two pumps of product & I have pretty thick 2C hair.

Love this!!! Ouidad and AG Care are two of my favorite brands. One product I don’t see you talk about is AG Care Fast Food leave in conditioner. It actually pairs great with both the Ouidad gel and AG Care liquid effects. I don’t always love a curl cream so the leave in is a nice option.

Great video. Love all the details. Providing pairs is so helpful. I agree with spending more on a gel. I also find that salon quality products require less per use than drugstore products so it’s hard to compare prices as you use up drugstore products more quickly. I also love AG Recoil and Liquid Effects. Looking forward to your IG reel. When you visited AG, did they say if they were coming out with a refill package for Liquid Effects? I hope they follow what they did with Recoil. Have a great week.

For my salt and pepper course low porosity wavy hair the only thing that woks in summer is biosilk rock hard gelee! It’s crazy but that is the only on that works. I also use kinky curly not today leave in only a pea size amount. I used the Quidad strong hold gel and my hair poofed after one day so I put the biosilk gelee on top with a little water because it is thick but it did the trick not much frizz

@pattystansberry91202 ай бұрын
I have a problem. I have color treated hair. I color about every 3 months. My hair I think is medium prosody and I think medium thick hair about 2 inches below my shoulders. I live in Ohio where it right now is hot and humid. My problem is after I wash my hair with verb mild, cleanse, moisture or silkience hair care pro formula hydrating shampoo, or it’s a 10 or whatever shampoo I seem to choose, it is so tangled and I can’t even get whatever conditioner I try through my hair. I have used several different shampoos and conditioners. Some conditioners I have used, verbinrich, detangle, and soften. Living proof intense moisture mask, herbal essences bio renew moisture rosemary and herbs foam conditioner, keranique volumizing keratin conditioner, tresemme silk and smooth argon oleo blend conditioner are some to name a few. Why do you think my hair is like that after I shampoo? It is so hard to get through. And what kind of gel or mousse would you suggest for me knowing what I told you about my hair. My hair is also very frizzy. Thank you for all your videos. They are very helpful. It is just so hard to figure out what products are best. I have always washed, conditioned, and fixed my hair as it was straight. But after watching some of your videos and paying more attention to my hair, it is naturally wavy. So now I am trying to figure out what products to use on it. I think I need a strong hold gel maybe.
