Can This Aloe Butter Gel Change Your Hair Routine Forever?

[@liam.7149]

You can also try to put on a shower cap after styling and let it marinate for a few min and the products get a chance to absorb more. Then you go under the dryer. The curls look great though 😊

[@BrittanyMia]

I’ve really been thinking about this and I’ve heard that it’s a game changer, letting it marinate under a cap but my patience is so thin lol. But, what’s one more thing to add if it’ll make a difference? I’ll give it a try. Thank you.

[@zanelemzinyati6752]

I did a rosemary scalp wet mid week with the curl magic products in and wet it a tad too much. So much so that I had to go to bed with a shower cap on. The next morning my curls were so hydrated and luscious to my surprise. So yes, def try marinating the curls. I also go in with a shirt and dry the access white off before drying, and I also still get flakes. It’s worth it to me though bc my 4c curls get tamed by Miss Camilla Chile. Iss okay 🤗

@@BrittanyMia I know it’s super taboo 👀….but I’ve been t-shirt plopping overnight since my big chop. My hair looks very different by the time I go under the dryer.

[@jmaxkimbrough]

I style in the shower and then let it sit under a cap while drying off and doing skin care before diffusing and drying. Definitely makes a difference 🧡

[@daniela5748]

@@jmaxkimbroughthat’s smart. Do you use a gel ? If so, you add that too and put the shower cap on ? Or just your leave-in/curly cream ? I want to try this ❤

[@chocolatecoils8200]

Also I realized normally after a good deep condition I rarely need to layer my products… I rinse my deep conditioner fully and then go in with one gel (Jell-O shot rn) that’s gives my so much hold and definition I sometimes feel like I can go 2 weeks on my day 7 hair

[@hopedee5719]

I use the same gel and I love it!!!

[@ramahh979]

Now, I have fine, medium density, high priority hair, but my hair definitely prefers to layer these particular products on damp hair as opposed to soaking wet hair. Maybe plopping the hair after will help with the droplets! But Baybeee, your curls are POPPIN!

[@__Selena__]

I looooove aloe whipped butter gel. I’m obsessed. It was on sale at Walgreens and I picked up just two because it lasts a long time as well. I used to be an almond jai girl but I ran out one day and just used the butter with my botanical gel and I never looked back 😂 my tried and true combo is this with kinky curly custard. But yeah if you’re lil heavy handed with it, it can flake or cause a slight grayish cast. Lots of water and letting it absorb in your hair helps a ton.

[@BrittanyMia]

Gotcha, thanks for sharing!

[@monicaDD]

I like your stylist too! That last visit when she suggested starting off with a soft cleanser and then going to a stronger one was the tip I’ve heard in a while

[@GaDiva769]

My hair is thick as well and I do sections each step of the way. I know Black Girl Curls advocates not doing sections but for my peace of mind and ease, I do sections.

[@BrittanyMia]

Yeah, I personally don’t understand putting the product all over without sectioning it when you’re gonna have to go back through and section it anyway to style, but to each their own.

[@Dreby14]

I love the Curl Maker but I find that gels with that type of consistency (Kinky Curly Custard is another one) just flake on me over the course of the week no matter what. I agree with what other commenters have said about letting the leave-in sink into the hair for a few minutes before going in with the gel. Also, have you tried “Plopping” by gently wrapping your hair with an old shirt or hair towel for a few minutes after you set with the gel? That would help with absorbing any of the excess product that can lead to flakes and shouldn’t disturb your curls.

[@BrittanyMia]

I agree. I love the kinky curly custard, and I like the curl maker, but it’s always a gamble with the flakes. Yes, typically I add the leave in all over first, but I was just going twist by twist this time so next time I’ll allow the LI to really sink into the hair before going in with a gel. And yes, I’ve heard of plopping, so I’ll have to give that a try to get that excess up.

[@WhatsUporDown]

Me too. I’ve never met a custard that didn’t flake.

[@LoveNaisa]

Custards are good but my hair starts to feel too gummy and sticky eventually. It makes me think it’s not enough hold. I like gels that fully dry without gummy residue

[@shemiRxx]

I use this combo all the time along with the honey hydrate for mini twists and NEVER get flakes. But, what I do differently is wash, deep condition, etc the day before actually styling and apply the honey hydrate in sections. Allow that to dry fully, and sit and marinate in the hair. Then, the following day, apply the Butter Gel to DAMP hair, not soaking wet but work it in WELL before applying just a LITTLE of the curl maker. I think adding too much makes it flake as well. After I’ve finished styling, I diffuse and boom! Perfect, soft, moisturized and fluffy hair with NO flakes 🥰 I’ve never tried the combo for a wash n go but after seeing your video and how juicy your curls are imma definitely try it out! 😍😅

[@nicki1050]

I love how this combo defined your curls. I'm definitely going to try it!

[@BrittanyMia]

[@danigirl9069]

You have the best chilled music!!!! That hair is looking good! I love Camille’s Almond Jai Butter it’s lighter than the Aloe Butter. And it mixes well with Curl Maker and Kinky Curling Custard too. I forget combos I love I can still use, I wash my hair once a week so the butters are not going to clog my hair. Keep these combos up😊

[@BrittanyMia]

I thought about the Almond Jai Butter but I assumed it was only for braid outs and twist outs. Of course now that I know so much more about products I shouldn’t assume that so I’ll have to add that to the list of things to try in the future. Thanks! 🧡

[@gladyswj9968]

Your curls look healthy. This is a gem combo for me. CRN Coconut Water leave-in provides a silky feel too. Recently returned a few different products from other lines due to their inconsistency. CRN is consistent. Saving my bills (coin), time, and hair. Stay coily!

[@BrittanyMia]

I’m going to have to test it out again and apply the butter gel all over and let it sit. A couple of other people have had great results with this combo as well. And yes, save that coin if the product isn’t working like you need to. Lol I love that, you stay coily too ❤️

[@gladyswj9968]

@@BrittanyMia I just had a beautiful WNG with the CRN Coconut H20 leave-in topped with CRN Curlmaker and then overlayed with Kinky Curly Custard. Well-defined, hydrated, shiny, and long-lasting. I typically reset before it begins screaming. This may qualify for my extended week-end travel set

Love this Blog ❤❤ Thank you for sharing . Love this combination. Some days I just rinse my hair, apply the Aloe cream and gel (only two pumps for my entire head) while in the shower on soaking wet hair. Once the cream is in, I turn my head over, put two pumps on the Curl Maker in the palm on my hand and smooth it through my hair. Done! ❤

[@ButterscotchCloud]

I’ve never used Curl Maker with the butter gel, but when I used the butter gel the first couple times, I experienced the same “white ends” issue. I’ve found that applying the product to all my sections before topping them off with another styler (letting the butter “marinate,” if you will) helps eliminate some of the whiteness.

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks for sharing. I typically do that but this time I tried going section by section as to not double back, but I’m seeing that it’s very necessary to add the product all over first and let it marinate.

[@asg4669]

I really like the Curlmaker and I never get flakes, but I don’t put a leave in under it either. I do need a topper over Curlmaker otherwise my set is too soft and will frizz after two days.

@@KimberlyJones-ds5qh we’re in the same boat on that one. I struggle with touching my hair a lot as well. Once I figure something out I’ll definitely share.

[@313AKA]

Here's the lesson that I learned from Jennifer Rose NYC. She said that she only ever recommends styling with foam or gel because creams never completely dry. It's probably why you experienced the flaking and why the set "feels" moisturized for six days. It's simply not drying so it can never completely set.

[@ash5864]

Ahhhh good point. So it’s like faux moisture. I also think ppls perception of “moisture” is so wrong. Moisture is not just a feeling.

[@BrittanyMia]

Hmmm that’s food for thought. Interesting, I’ll have to bring that up at my next Salon appointment because this is my first time hearing it, but it’s sounds like a valid pov. I can’t say that was the reason for the flaking but the moisturized feeling.. that could be. Thanks for sharing. Also, I know that hydration and moisture is a process and not a feeling but I really don’t know what else to call it lol we’re gonna have to make up another word or something!

[@kimberlyallen8038]

This explains a lot since I use creams… since than I use foam for my 2 strand twist and sit under the dryer for 25 minutes

Next combo for me will be two ecoslay products (I have the orange marmalade and the Jell-O shot sample ).

[@BrittanyMia]

Once I finish up the products, I have I’ll have to give Eco slay a try because I hear so many great things.

[@shabinslu]

I love this line and those are 2 of my holy grail products and they don't flake. I don't like the moisture milk, it leaves a white cast.

[@ash5864]

You brought up some good points at the end. I can relate, my hair is changing as it’s growing and I have to accept it and adjust accordingly lol.

[@BrittanyMia]

Cutting my hair that short and seeing the Ringletts really had me thinking that big chopping my hair had my hair growing back differently lol but length really does matter in terms of how our curls appear. I thought I was doing something wrong for a while but that’s just the name of the hair growth game.

[@GaDiva769]

With the combo you're using, I think the Aloe Butter is more like a leave in, I would place that on each section and try to allow it to sit and then apply the Curl Maker. Great results!

I have a love hate relationship with this brand. I’ll have to try it one more time 🙃, I also need to start washing my hair in sections again. It’s so much work when I was wash my hair in sections 😭! Great video!!

[@BrittanyMia]

I’m learning things about myself when it comes to washing my hair and right now I’m leaning towards pre-pooing with a conditioner or a treatment, because it will save me time detangling, which takes me the most time during my wash days. So even if I don’t cleanse my hair in sections, it’s a lot faster because of the lack of tangles! I really only wash my hair in sections now when my scalp is super itchy and I wanna make sure that I’m reaching it thoroughly. Hope that helps. When it comes to Camille Rose Products, I love how it defines my hair and gives me the look that I want, but I hate that it constantly flakes on me even when I think it’s not I look back at footage and it definitely is. I want to support the brand, but after I use these products up, I probably won’t be purchasing much more from Camille Rose. I really walked around that week thinking everything was good and looked back at my footage last week, and immediately was annoyed 😭 I absolutely loved the look, but damn does it have to snow on me every time.

[@LifeOfHemi]

Do you test how the products will mix on your hand before putting it in your hair? If the combo you want to use becomes chunky or forms small clumps in your hand instead of being creamy and smooth than your combo is going to flake because the products don’t mix, maybe try that next time to avoid combos that cause flakes but regardless i love the look 🙌🏾💗

[@BrittanyMia]

If I remember correctly, I did test these out on my hand and I thought it would work out, but looks like it was good for like a day or two and then it flaked.

[@TheNenaBrown]

Even when doing that, products can still flake… especially for ppl who are heavy handed… but it is definitely something I always suggest doing bc if the products don’t mix in your hand’s definitely don’t use them on your hair!

[@celestialmorpho]

So happy you finally tried the Aloe Butter Gel. When I used it, it was to finger coil on hydrated damp hair. My curls are tight like yours and highly dense and the way that butter _tamed_ my hair was amazing. It was limp from the heaviness yet hydrated 😩. It dried so soft. Maybe It is the perfect balance between a hydrating and moisturizing product. It feels heavy. And wow does it have actual hold. Again i didn’t apply on soaking wet hair. The gel is great and doesn’t flake with *anything* for me (Excluding botanical gels. They gave me trust issues sorry lol) Wonder if you’ll try this cream with a mousse like the Honey Spiked mousse. I’ve never seen someone pair a cream and mousse. Wonder if that would cause too little hold? And the Camille Rose mousse smells amazing!

[@BrittanyMia]

Oh please because I’m about to be on the same boat. Botanical gels are starting to give me anxiety lmao especially the curl maker. I know there is a variety of botanical gels and they have different consistency’s but the ones that I’ve been trying outside of the uncle funky‘s daughter are starting to really test my patience lol. I think next time I’ll try it with that and see if it flakes. Truthfully, I’ve never thought of combining a mouse with a cream, but that could be a great combination for the volume plus the hold that I want. Thanks for the suggestion!

Im really struggling with this because Im on my no oils/butters journey but Im sorry some products just slap like the butter gel and adowa beauty’s deep conditioner 😭

[@BrittanyMia]

Do you wanna know something Interesting? I’ve been using creams on my hair ever since I started my Wash N Go journey, never have I ever stopped completely using oils and butters. But, for those months late last year where I went without using a cream on my hair, I noticed a lot of limpness in my hair. And I truly believe that’s where my hair started to show signs of Hygral fatigue. Even at my last salon appointment, Breanna and I spoke about it and she also mentioned that people who do twist outs and braid outs and tend to use a cream to style their hair Don’t typically deal with limp hair and Hygral fatigue because they’re balancing it out by using those cream products. And that’s when I knew. I’ve been seeing a lot of people on the no oil’s, no butters journey yet they’re struggling with breakage and limp dry hair. I believe it is a matter of balance. Because too much of the water, and gels was killing my hair. It wasn’t until I started using OlaPlex that my hair started to jump back and now that I’ve been integrating more creamy leave-ins and cream based stylers, my hair is like “thank you this is what I’ve been asking for” 😂 So for me, I think it is a matter of balance. I still don’t use raw oils and butters, but products with butters and their first ingredient are my friend, so long as I’m washing my hair on a regular weekly, or twice a week basis. I just wrote a dissertation LMAO but I really wanted to share what I found because I completely understand. But the issues I was dealing with when I made that “wash and go’s are breaking off my hair” video I am no longer dealing with, and I truly atest it to the bond builders and to integrating creams back into my wash days. Yes, our hair needs hydration, but too much hydration, just like too much of any good thing, can kill you as well. Food for thought 🤎

[@mara9905]

@@BrittanyMia thank you so much for this!!! Because you’re right! I think I can find a balance, I feel like I wash my hair weekly sometimes more and don’t use raw oils/butters ect.

No oils and butters mean no *raw* oils and butter. The Camille Rose Aloe Butter Gel is formulated with water and other ingredients and don’t sit on the hair like straight raw oil or shea/mango butter does. It’s not the same and is okay and acceptable.

[@BrittanyMia]

@@celestialmorpho yes, I mentioned that I still wasn’t using raw oils and butters and I know that’s what they say to stay away from, but as Mara was stating there is a misunderstanding and I believe people just completely stop using cream stylers with the first few ingredients containing oils and butters is all.

I love the two products but NOT together. I use the butter for my silk press days (which gives your hair a wonderful shine once you blown dry it before the press) and use the gel with Curlsmith Elixir gel for week long curls. Using the butter and gel leave my curls frizzy unless I sit for 45mins under a dryer - too much work for me..

[@christiemontague7243]

Ive never tried combos. I am hooked on UFD but I don’t like the gumminess and I need a tad more hold. I’ve used CR in the past and it’s very similar to UFD but CR flakes too badly. Also, somebody..anybody …my wash n go’s are defined but ends up like a fro…no hang time …why?! Straightened, my hair is to my earlobe..help🙃

[@BrittanyMia]

I’m not a hairstylist so I can’t really tell you what the issue is, but it could be you need a trim or do you need to focus on deep conditioning your ends better. Or maybe even focusing on the mids to ends when applying the hair product to make sure that your ends are getting fully saturated but 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@TheNenaBrown]

It could also be that your hair needs some protein.. overly moisturized hair won’t retain the definition & the hair will go all frizzy just like too much protein can… But for those who only like to use moisturizing products, especially botanical products, just add a little protein to your next wash day (in your deep conditioning) & see what happens

Wow that is so much gel. I’m not saying it in a bad way everyones hair is different. One glob is about the amount I use for like 5 wash and go’s. I literally use a dime sized amount (maybe less). Not just of this gel but all gels. Maybe it is because my hair is so thin? That bottle would last me 2 years maybe 2.5.

[@Dunateo]

It's probably not your technique. Curlmaker is a flake maker, no matter what. I find gels that have Xantham Gum end up flaking on me. Shame, because other than the flaking, it's a great gel.

[@BrittanyMia]

Which is exactly why I am trying so hard to make it work but after this bottle is up, I’m saying good riddance for awhile. I love it, but I hate it because of the flakes. Frankly, there are way too many products on the market for me to waste time, coin and energy trying to make this product work. We’ll see.

Do you blame the aloe butter gel for the flakes? Ion do flaking. I’ll need to experiment with the curl maker more, mainly been using it as a slipper gel for Jell-o shot and that combo doesn’t flake.

I blame the curl maker fr. The curl maker flakes for me so much so I’m going to try the butter gel with something else and see how that works. I can make the curl maker work with the UFD or by itself, but I haven’t successfully used it outside of that without flakes.

I heard that Jell-O Shot is one of THE BEST botanical in the game as it is "extremely moisturizing" with a "10 out of 10 hold" and to be honest the reviews are very convincing and consistent with the ones I've seen dealing with type 3 to 4 hair. Only thing though is DON'T USE TO MUCH cause they not lying about that hold 😭😭

This product has been on my list to purchase and try so hopefully I get to it sooner than later. Thanks!

Hello. Is it compulsory to store jello shot in the fridge?

[@TheNenaBrown]

No matter what I use the Curl Maker with it flakes & I don’t use nearly as much product as you do, so I blame the curl maker for your flaking 😔.. I do think that bc you are heavy handed it definitely contributes to the flaking but this time I think it’s more so the gel’s fault.

[@drahaman]

Maybe use less product when you use this combo again. Might minimize flaking.

I know this video is old, but why you're not using a brush to get your curl pattern instead of your hands?!?!

[@BrittanyMia]

I’ve gone back-and-forth through using my hands and a brush to distribute product. I don’t want to over manipulate my hair with a tool too much so it really just depends.

[@lynettestewart5118]

@@BrittanyMia oh okay, I understand now. This makes sense, thanks for sharing your technique.

[@mara9905]

You reminded me to turn the water off lmao

[@BrittanyMia]

The way I used to just let it run! And then I realized just how much water I was wasting when I was editing a video last year. I was like damn, that’s where all my hot water is going 🙃😭

[@bbappzz98]

Honestly I think you used too much product. I have a twa so I just dab my fingers and used a little bit of product. I find this product spreads a lot and coats your strands easily. I do get the white look when I use a bit more but it hasn’t flaked because it is still a small amount. And I don’t let the product soak in at all. I apply the butter, then my eco gel and define. Maybe next time try a third or half of what you used and build up if you need more. I do like it but I personally think it might be too thick for my strands.

Does your hair feel waxy?

[@BrittanyMia]

Nope, not waxy, but it felt a little bit heavier from the cream.

[@CrazedAdult]

Wait a minute. Did you attend a catholic school in Brooklyn as a kid???

[@BrittanyMia]

Nope! I’m from Kansas.

[@angiebolden1962]

YOU'RE USING ENTIRELY TOO MUCH PRODUCT! And not enough water!!!

[@BrittanyMia]

No need to yell 🫠 I hear you. I’ve changed my product application approach since this video 🫶🏾

[@chocolatecoils8200]

Girl I am so sorry but I have comments as I’m watching throughout lmao 🫣 I realize that when my hair is set I normally don’t try and break the cast for atleast 2 days. Allowing my hair to separate on its self definitely help with less flakes and frizz and longevity

[@BrittanyMia]

I know lol because as I was editing, I was like oh my god are you really still separating pieces of your hair after you knew it would flake 😭 I need to leave separating the curls alone when it comes to a wash and go because that is my Achilles’ heel!
