I think the flaking is possibly due to the cream. Sometimes cream based stylers and gels don’t mix depending on the brand. One of my favorite base products for moisture that doesn’t flake is the Eden Bodywork’s Marshmallow moisture serum. It’s like a moisture jelly and makes a great base

[@mzspiderman305]

you should def. try that mielle custard topped with camille rose curl maker. No flaking. Also uncle funky's daughter curly magic + camille rose curl maker is also another bomb combo.

[@ceewhateyecee9701]

I am a huge fan of the As I Am custard (not sure if that is the actual name, but it is the custard type of product). It is so light and liquidy. I never get issues with flaking.

[@pjtynes09]

I have 4a/4b hair. I use the leave-in conditioner and custard combo when it is freshly washed. I'd also recommend applying half of the amount of product to your hair. I use the curl smoothie and custard when I was to refresh an old wash and go.

[@lennettewarner8338]

I've found that Mielle products strangely do not work with each other all the time. This smoothie works well with the Mielle Maximum Hold Gel. I used the Mango & Tulsi line and used the leave in and gel in this line together and got flakes. But using the whipping creme and gel in that line works wonderful together. You would think when brands make products they would make them to work nicely with each other...lol

[@MJ-dk2wz]

I love the Mielle pomegranate custard with the leave-in conditioner from the same line. It is recommended that you use an oil after the leave-in conditioner to avoid flaking. The smoothie is meant to be a stand alone styler. I never tried the mousse. I will now. I think your hair looked great.

[@sierradailey17]

I really like the transparency in this video! I have the custard and I love it! I use it with the innersense I create hold and it’s chef kiss for my hair! It gives the right amount of softness and hold!

[@reannarichardson3978]

I had the same flaking with this custard. I think with this custard you have to use very little. Once I learned the right amount to use for each section I didn't have any flaking. I guess it's a good thing because it lasts longer.

[@gbbs9]

I’ve been using the Mielle leave in and curl smoothie for twist outs and it flakes. I’m not buying the smoothie again bc It’s the def the curl smoothie making snow😭

[@SuperDarkhoney]

I think it's the combo of the products....I think one at a time!

[@simplyshadrika]

I thought about buying the smoothie but I opted for the leave in from the same line. The Mielle leave in and the coiling custard from this line are my favorite. It’s my go to wash n go style. I use just enough leave in to coat my hair (not too much) and apply a lot of the custard in sections and add water. In the directions on the custard it recommends adding it to wet hair so I just add more water after applying it. I’m sorry it flaked on you cause your hair looked good. Girl! The picturesss 😂 I could feel your stress. This happened to me before with different products and like you I didn’t have time to fix it before work lol

[@yusuphbashir8769]

Please is it possible to used the curl smoothie as a leave in condition, I ordered for the leave in condition but I got the curl smoothie rather.. I made a complaint and I was told they are the same.. is it true

[@jolieberrios]

I remember loving using the mousse and custard as a combo, I never liked the leave in or the smoothie with the custard. That mousse is just phenomenal all around. Watching this has me entertaining the thought of buying the custard again to use by itself, but I’m on the fence

[@anneel8115]

Love the custard because it's an easy product to use. I use it by itself and top it with a mousse or bit of gel. I never got the smoothie because i was sure on how to use it. Mielle has a hard hold gel, so that may be à better combo with the smoothie.

The custard has always flaked on me. I'm not surprised.

Flaking is the most annoying thing because for me I think about people thinking how dirty my hair is (ie I live in Asia so 🙃)

Your use of custards made me try them when I first went natural. Your hair was always bomb! I really gave it a try, but I was Always in a snowstorm and my hair would feel gummy too. I threw away two half used containers (heated for my wastefulness), but it just never worked for me. I've Been There! Your final WG is beautiful. I'm loving the shape!

[@createyourlegendarylife]

I haven't been able to master custards (or botanical gels) either. But mousse/foam has been my best friend. Lol.

[@ToxicFunnyNes]

I think 2 stylers will always cause the hair to flake and feel gross, you should only have to do a leave-in and 1 styler to prevent that from happening

[@jjayjae_]

Nah, I disagree. Many stylists use more than one styler on their client, and many clients do the same at home and don’t experience flaking. It’s all about the products being used and how they’re being combined and applied, and Mielle custard is known to flake depending on what it’s combined with. That’s just a very common complaint you’ll see in reviews for this product.

[@luvvugonna]

it’s the curl smoothie istg. even when i use the product by itself it flakes

[@dspann10]

Do you stretch your hair with this custard in it? It was fine until then.

@@BrittanyMia yeah I do!! I dry it under a hooded dryer and then stretch with my blow dryer.

[@Chanettes_Unique]

Never fake on me either, I use it with Camille rose honey moisturizer

i believe the curl smoothie was responsible for the flaking. Everything I used that product, even by itself, it’d flake so much that my hair looked dirty.

It’s def the smoothie! It flaked with every product I’ve tried it with. I feel like that product is meant to be used by itself.

The the smoothie caused flakes on me too. The custard by itself works for me

[@catherinemiller1897]

I've seen in other videos that the smoothie and custard flake real bad so I avoided it. Love the mousse and maximum hold gel combo (it's mild/medium hold) from the Pomegranate & Honey line though. No flakes and good definition.

[@aliciamoore8679]

The leave in gives flakes. I only use the custard alone. It's never failed me❤

I have coily twa. I don't get flakes when I use the leave in then the custard. I don't use that much product either. I use Texture ID refresher spray on the morning between wash days.

[@dspann10]

I haven't had an issue with the curl smoothie flaking. I use it to refresh my hair, too, when it starts drying through the week. The custard, on the other hand, does flake every time; based on some of the comments, I think maybe I am using too much. I did reach out to Mielle and they said to not use the leave-in conditioner and just use the almond oil and the custard

[@CeeSparks]

Yes, I love the smoothie. One om faves along with rice water leave in and mint leave in conditioner

[@pameladavis895]

Oh my goodness! So sorry about your experience with Mielle. I do appreciate how you highlighted lessons learned, -test new combo over the weekend vs. day before work (congratulations on your new job) -too much smoothie application with custard! I've use the coiling custard with a leave in (TGIN) or with UFD. I'm not sure what the smoothie is. The coiling custard has Xanthum gum in the top 5 ingredients which in my experience, flakes when that high up on the listing. I also use a topper over the custard/UFD combo. Perhaps, try the custard with its intended leave-in. It may work out better for you! I'm finishing up the coiling custard before I use another brand custard. I liked it but want to use up my stash before I revisit it! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@kenzjr1507]

Omg I had the same experience this past weekend, like thick clumped flakes it was so bad and I was in California with no products 😭😭😭

[@themeanandnice6186]

It flaked on me when I used it too, and I used it with the Mielle leave in. I was very heavy handed with it though, I used it again with the same amount of leave in but a lot less custard and it didn't flake. I found that with the custard you don't need a lot at all.

[@dynomitenash8970]

Same thing happened to me. It's the smoothie! When I use the line, I only use the leave-in and the mousse to avoid anything crazy happening.

[@kearstenw3855]

That's so unfortunate that those products flaked on you because the wash & go was stunning. I think your hair looks gorgeous shrunken.

Thanks. Had I left it shrunken it would’ve been great. But the moment I manipulate it even just a little it was done for.

No matter what custard I try it’s always flake city. Even if I use them by themselves. 😢 I still have a few jars that I most likely will have to give away or throw away cause I’m not wasting any more styles too much work for that. It’s either a mousse or a gel as far as styling for me. But foams are definitely my go to right now. I get the definition, the volume, the shine and softness

[@bjjohnson1748]

This combo flaked on me too when I used it. Badly! That’s why it’s still full & in my stash. Neva again. Your girls looked great though!

[@Imanixo2]

The curl smoothie doesn’t flake with the pomegranate gel. But I think the custard is usually better with just the leave in and the custard. Also may like JVN air dry cream. 👀 I’ve seen so many nice results from the curly girlys

[@margaretholloway8879]

As I was watching I was like ooow this about to be flake city. I’ve never used the curl smoothie but have used the leave in and custard and when I used too much I got snowfall and my hair would be tacky to the touch.

[@suefox88]

I’ve used the leave in with the custard and the same thing occurs…I think it’s the custard. On the label it says to use oil to prevent the flakes.

[@prettysunshyngrl]

The flaking is probably from the xanthan gum. If xanthan gum is high on an ingredient list and doesn't have the right mix of emollients it can flake up bad. Using an oil during application can help avoid flaking.

[@karmikarm1079]

I just discovered Mielle added more products to the pomegranate and honey line. They have a Maximum Hold Gel Styler now and it gives good definition. Maybe try that with the smoothie. Weird products in the same line would flake. Are you stretching your hair with heat or cool air?

[@curlynella1011]

Yeah a few months back I saw the Max gel and I don't remember seeing that

[@Iheartpie1234]

I think maybe the smoothie and the custard are both stylers so they shouldn’t be used together. Idk 🤷🏾‍♀️ like the smoothie should be used with the leave in, or if you want more hold to use the leave in with the custard.

[@karmikarm1079]

@@Iheartpie1234I’m confused what the smoothie is for. The line has a twisting soufflé for twists and a leave in.

I use this combo, and I do have to be careful not to use too much or else my hair feels sticky and heavy. I probably use 6-7 pumps of the smoothie over my whole head. I’ve also had success with this line using the smoothie then the mousse topped with the gel (using less gel than I would typically use)

i gotta use like 1 pump a section

[@chocolatecoils8200]

The custard to me flakes if you apply too much. I like the max hold gel styler rather than the custard.

[@chocolatecoils8200]

Also the curl smoothie is like a styler in itself so the smoothie and custard probably was too much. I had the custard and girlllll let me tell you how that shit flaked 😂😂 I’m seriously really only sticking to the aphogee provitamin leave in and I use that to saturate my hair like it’s water , cause it really is just enhanced water. And then I apply my stylers on top granted it’s getting colder so the need for creams under the styler is needed but idk y after stretching hair flakes appear it’s so annoying

[@asg4669]

Hey Brittany! That combo flaked on me too. 🙃

Please try the custard with the leave in. It works out better

[@PreppyFay12]

Hmm I wonder what would happen if you used both styling products separately with their pomegranate mousse you tried before by itself. Those two stylers look like stand alone stylers for certain textures/finishes.

[@BrittanyMia]

Yeah, I bet separately they work out but I was confused since they are in the same line I thought they would work together. However, I believe the custard works better with the leave in. The custard is still an old favorite of mine but it’ll be a while before I revisit.

[@jdbailey442]

You are way too heavy-handed with products. 5 pumps per section ( You probably could have used 1-3 per section) was way too much, and the amounts of gel per section was excessive too ( you probably could have used 3-5 Tablespoons of custard for your entire head) .You may want to try the smoothie with the foam on top or the custard with the leave-in in as well.

I had the same thing happen with curl mix line and the doux. I’ve found though that I can use AdWoa leave in with curl mix mousse and the doux mousse without any flaking. I don’t wash in go. I twist out or braid out. The curl mix mousse is the best looking but no longevity because it’s light to medium hold product. I wish these companies would work a little harder at a product so that all items work together without flaking or drying out the hair. To offer a mousse and say you can’t use a leave in with it because it has moisturizing properties is a lie because we all know that those moisturizing properties are negated by the chemicals that make mousse a mousse. I anyway. I said all that to say I feel your pain. Dusty white hair ain’t it after the time it takes to achieve your style.

The stylers don't mix unfortunately. Sometimes hopping in the shower and letting the steam get it wet and a shake will help.
