I want to get into Curl Smith products!! Seems like a wonderful company with very safe ingredients ❤️ Which would you recommend most for thin, medium density, low porosity hair? I am struggling most with low porosity hair atm

[@nicolef2496]

What do you recommend for Wavy hair?? Fine- medium fluffy textures?

[@0DeathWish0]

I have fine, low porosity hair and I love the hydro flexi jelly with the weightless air dry cream. I just bought the shape up aqua gel, so I'm excited to try that next washday.

[@chelseatito3605]

I like the shape up on you best, I tried using that and my results were not as good as yours. I will say I love it on your hair

[@MiVidaBellisima]

I’m in love with the Aqua gel but I used almost a quarter of the bottle for one wash day so I’m wondering if there’s a thicker more concentrated option to save money 😊

This woman is perfection

[@zoecross8426]

I’ve been using the flexi curl smith gel and love it. I have to use quite a lot to get good definition and multiple days out of my washday but it doesn’t weigh down my fine hair at all. I have fine 2c/3a curls and it’s works great. I use a curl cream underneath for moisture as I have high porosity hair. I can get 3/4 days without any refreshing at all. Would definitely recommend. I’ve tried the weightless leave in conditioner but I can’t use a leave in I’ve realised because they over moisturise my fine hair. A little curl cream works better for me I’ve found.

[@urgentcaredr]

Which styling cream do you use? Curlsmith curl defining cream? I also have high porosity hair. Also do you put this before or after gel?

[@maradiaz8961]

I have been putting off purchasing curlsmith because they just seemed too expensive, but after investing in two travel size options to try they are my FAVORITE brand!! I get so much volume with the weightless air dry cream paired with any gel

[@cvma2430]

I always wanted to try them as well but looking at the prices it was always so much! Then I noticed that they have the travel size and that has saved me from having to buy products and spending and not liking them (which has happened too often with others). My current combination that is my go to is the styling balm and the aqua gel. :)

[@staceycurcio635]

you cant go wrong with any of the Curlsmith products. I go back and forth from Quidad to Curlsmith. If you live in a "climate instable" lol region like I do- North-East PA, you get to use it all dependent on the day's weather!

[@alicesings1971]

I have now tried all 4 of these CS gels. My favorite is the Curl Defining Styling Souffle’ as I get the best results for my fine medium/high porosity hair. I prefer a protein gel and I took your advice and used a protein cream under it. My second choice is the Hydro Flexi Jelly and I got amazing results too ! I bought the smaller size of the Shape Up Aqua Gel and it left a terrible residue on my hair and my hair got all in tangles in spite of the gel being very runny it glommed on to my damp hair. I had to wash it out. Maybe I needed more water but my hair felt dirty and it wasn’t a good wash day . I guess we learn by trying. I’ll try it again another time. I told my hairdresser about your channel because of your knowledge and you list all the ingredients and that’s extremely helpful. I’m a pharmacy technician and I love learning about ingredients and I’ve learned so much about all the different effects of the ingredients they use in the products. Thanks Gena. 🤗🌹😻

[@cristinadevriend3679]

Personally, I like the in style shower fixer. I figured out how to use it if you don’t like styling with soaking wet hair. Just wet your hands then emulsify a bit of the gel in your hands. Along with your refreshing tip, this keeps my curls defined well into my next wash day.

[@kryki_cha6206]

I have fine, low density hair and have been loving the in shower style fixer. My hair tends to be too soft, and this gel gives my hair some grittiness that helps it retain volume. My best Curlsmith wash week involved the multitasking conditioner as a rinse out (although I adore it as a leave-in), the weightless air dry cream, and the in shower style fixer. Made it to day 4 NO REFRESHES.

[@ojosdepechicheonline]

Hi... did you apply the in shower in wet soaking hair? I just tried for the first time basically for antihumidity... but in don't like it feels stiff even after scrunching with the new bonding oil... i like bounce but I need antihumidity (going on vacation ton the Caribe 😄). I think my hair is like yours low density fine and type 3c... any thoughts? Thanks!!!

[@kryki_cha6206]

@@ojosdepechicheonline I like to walk the line between damp and soaking wet. So wetter than damp but not soaked, if that makes sense. But the wetter your hair when you apply it, the softer the results in my experience. Adding more leave-in and/or cream before the gel will help with stiffness as well. The humidity will soften it up too, so having it slightly stiff when you first scrunch out the cast might be a good thing before venturing out into the humidity.

[@NadiraJamal]

Thanks for this! I wonder if mixing some water into the hard hold gel before applying it would help it go on more easily. I haven’t tried a hard hold gel yet, but that has helped me with other products that I was afraid of over-doing. I disagree about the curl pattern not mattering though. I have a looser wave pattern with more “down” than “side-to-side”, and any amount of stretch noticeably changes the shape, so I’m always looking for the lightest-weight product that can do the job. I agree that other factors are more important (coarse hair can resist product weight better than mine), but part of it is just geometry: folks with a tighter pattern have more shape to lose, and may not mind sacrificing a little of it for their other style goals.

Gena! I totally relate to what you said on 3:55 ! It's crazy bc I never knew what to do with that section of my hair.

To this point it's not even curling properly I don't know what to do Would you help me??

[@prettykittyga76]

Hi! I know this is a late reply and that your question wasn’t for me, but I would say to deep condition the coarse section of your hair with a very moisturizing deep conditioner on a weekly basis if you don’t already and to use only moisturizing products on that section. You may have to initially use a clarifying shampoo if you have been using protein-heavy products for a long time. I would continue to use products with protein on the finer front and inside sections, but to avoid using them on the coarse section. I know that it may be somewhat inconvenient but you have to treat the coarse and fine sections like two completely different heads of hair because the care that they require are completely different.

This is what it did to my hair. I keep trying but my hair looks like crap. My fav product is sold out everywhere. What do you use?

I'm confused. The title for this video is how to choose a gel according to your curl type, but you say in the video that you don't like to talk about curl type. So not helpful for me.

[@GenaMarie]

Type meaning porosity, texture, density. I mean that it’s not just about curl pattern such as 3A or 4B for example. Curl pattern has not effect on how a gel works for you, but porosity, texture, and density do. Hope that helps clarify things! ❤️
