BIOTERA DEFINING GEL | TRYING IT ON CURLS

[@elmog0218]

Curly Susie is the one who turned me onto BioTerra Gel. I would watch her videos for her application tips. My guess from watching you apply and seeing the results is that your hair appear led to be quite dry when you applied. All gels world better when applied onto soaking wet, well moisturized hair.

[@DebNYCurl]

We have very different hair texture. I have a lot of dry coarse hair while I believe her hair is more soft and not as dry. I think that's why it works better for her.

[@theathea3064]

@@DebNYCurl Maybe you should try Curly Susie's method on soaking wet hair. Nevermind that it's dry.

[@samanthadeal8975]

NY Curl401 mine is dry and there’s a lot of it! It never worked for me, unfortunately...

[@simplycurlyde]

Curly Susie convinced me to try BioTerra Gel, too. If I need to add a bit more, I had water to it in my hands & mix. I think I paid less than $8 on Amazon for a 32 oz bottle.

[@BlackLabMama]

I just bought this and love it! I apply on soaking wet hair, then again after plopping with a t-shirt.

[@DebNYCurl]

I'll have to pull this out again and give it another try!

[@amyleogoddess1390]

I love this gel!!! I use curl cream first and then the gel!!!

[@DebNYCurl]

Hmmm maybe if I tried that first (the cream) it would work better on me. Each time I tried it just didn't do it for me 😔

[@makebayeargins4719]

Yes! I use a leave in and then apply the gel. No flakes at all! Love this gel and it works wonders on my 3c/4a curly hair. They're not many reviews about this gel. Shame.

[@DebNYCurl]

@@makebayeargins4719 I might have to give this another try with these suggestions. Thanks!

[@karine8738]

Which curl cream you use ? Thanks

[@MarS-pc7nl]

Your hair needs to be wetter and use praying hands method to apply over a leave in,, comb through and scrunch out excess water with a cotton towel to encourage the curl. You seem to touch your hair alot when diffusing which encourages frizz. Watch `Manes by Mell`` videos...she has excellent advise for curly hair care and diffusing.

[@DebNYCurl]

No, I only touch my hair when it's dry to get the crunch out, if any, and sorta fluff it up. In my videos I edit a lot of drying time out. My fingers never ever touch my hair while styling until its 100% dry. It's the product. Just not for my hair. I always style the same with other products , my hair comes out amazing. I don't like to keep my curls wet when applying products. Water makes hair frizzy so I use a microfiber towel to get as much water out of my hair. Better for curls. But everyone has different texture and different curls. Whatever works best for them I suppose. 😊

[@sams517]

@@DebNYCurl but there’s no way products will distribute through your hair smoothly if it’s not wet first.....

[@shielahhornbeck2046]

I hate when gels flake like that maybe a leave in conditioner underneath might help. I've noticed if I put my stylers on wet hair when I'm still in the shower that doesn't happen.

[@DebNYCurl]

I'll have to try that although I think I'm just better off not using products that do that. There are so many that don't!

[@lluna4714]

I hate the flakes too. In the past you and I agreed our hair is very similar. I am currently using Deva one condition as a co-wash THE. THE BLUEBERRY BLISS AND LEAVE-IN by” Curls” andddd... WOWWWWW. No frizz which my hair has been so frizzy lately even though I would condition, condition, and condition. Then I thought perhaps what I am using has too much GLYCERIN. That’s when I decide to try a stying product without glycerin. Pooooofff! Holy moly what a game changer. In summary, I leave in a little of the Deva one condition, next apply the blueberry leave-in, finally the curls blueberry bliss control jelly. MUST TRY!!

[@DebNYCurl]

Wow thanks! I just looked it up and ordered it! Stay tuned for a video!

[@blackgothgoddess3164]

I want to try this. My hair has tighter curls than your hair, however it's very fine texture. So I'm thinking this might work out for me

[@DebNYCurl]

I hope it does, it wasn't my favorite.

[@susannelacorte2921]

Finally you tried this gel. Lol. I follow curly Susie and she swears by this gel. It definitely makes my hair look shiny. I think your hair doesn’t look as curly on the ends. I’m not sure if your touching it too much or you need a cream mixed with it. The more you fuss with your hair, the less curly it will be. The second day trial looked much better than the first. Don’t give up.

[@DebNYCurl]

Yea .. I don't know, I didn't love it. I used a product I like the following day and my hair looked so good. Curly suzie has very different hair then I do. I have dry coarse hair hers appears more soft. I think that's the problem. I'd also rather not have to use 2 different products knowing so many other products are so much better on me. I'll probably give it to my daughter I think she's going to get better results than me.

[@susannelacorte2921]

What product did you use the other day? My curls are less curly than both you and curly Susie

[@DebNYCurl]

I feel like I talk so much about it but the Mixed Chicks makes my hair look so good.

[@susannelacorte2921]

Interesting, I used the mixed chicks leave in and my curls/waves were so loose. I can’t seem to find a product that’s not too moisturizing or too crunchy. 🥴

[@karine8738]

@@DebNYCurl you still use mixed chicks or you find better ? I am so tempted to try the biotera gel since seing curly susie 😊 I am try bumble n bumble curls but don't like them ... Maybe shea miisture or cabtu, I just don't know anymore... Thanks

[@ninaw5743]

Try dippity do girls with curls line...the best! Bianca Rene also says it is the best gel for curly hair and inexpensive! i like biotera but hold doesn't last on my 3a hair...similar to yours but longer....

[@DebNYCurl]

Ok great going to add that to the list!

[@ZotosProfessional]

Thank you so much for trying our Biotera Defining Gel and for sharing your review! Curly girls love this product. Have your tried our other collection for curly hair called All About Curls? Check it out!

[@DebNYCurl]

OMG yes I love it! I did a review on it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6SoaqZ_pdeed7c thanks!!

[@1tennismama]

Share your frustrations with differing outcomes when uve same methods. Can’t imagine using gel wo styling crime first. Curly Susie swears by that gel. Your hair looks great, crossing fingers for you.

[@DebNYCurl]

Didn't think to try a cream first. I'll try different methods with it to see if it's worth adding to my favorite quarterly products but there are just so many products that work better I feel why use something that I don't love. :(

[@annaburns5382]

I think that gel made your hair look a little stringy...creams seem to work better for your hair...

[@DebNYCurl]

That is a GREAT word to use! It was something and I couldn't think. Hard strings too!! Thanks! Not my favorite...

[@annaburns5382]

@@DebNYCurl A lot of styling products make my fine hair get those hard strings. I just hate it when that happens and can't wait to wash it out.

[@annaburns5382]

@NSM Cyclone1234 A lot has to do with hair type also.

[@dcher3868]

You straighten your hair as you’re putting the gel in and you touch it sooooo much....it doesn’t even really look curly.

[@DebNYCurl]

I use this method to apply product every time for so many years and I get great curly results with other products. I think it just didn't work for me and my type of hair.

[@sherrikillian1025]

It looks dry and not at all curly. Just frizzy

[@DebNYCurl]

I did not like that product!

[@sherrikillian1025]

@@DebNYCurl I love it, but I apply it completely differently than you did.
