Miche Tropical Oasis Gel is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@HoneySnowflake]

One of the best recent hair faves I've seen in a while. Our hair is so similar, so I value your opinions. I've also experienced way less hold with the OG gels as well. So disappointing!

[@CaramelCoils]

Yayy that makes me so happy! I hope you subscribed 👀lol & soo disappointing! I'm just happy I found an even better replacement 🙌🏽😩

Miche needs to lose the words limited edition and put that Tropical Oasis in a big ole 32 ounce jar. That’s just frfr.

[@CaramelCoils]

Lmaoo no literally, like stop playinn 😭

[@kaylabean3693]

I use a deep conditioner/mask it’s called macadamia professional! It smells so good and you only have to leave it on for about 5 minutes. I use it in the shower right after I shampoo, and my hair loves it! I’ve also started using a hair butter after I blow dry and omg my hair feels so juicy!

[@CaramelCoils]

Sounds like it smells good as hell lmao. I think I've seen this in like Marshall's/Tjmaxx? I'll have to keep an eye out for it! Thanks for the recommendation 🫶🏽

[@kaylabean3693]

Yessss and it’s on Amazon! Or in Sally’s, it used to be in ulta but they stopped selling it there and yay! You’re welcome!! I hope you like it!

I just used Miche Tropical Oasis topped with Ecoslay gel. It worked great for this Florida heat. It’s Sunday and I still have curl definition, tfs.

Everyone has been saying the hold is weaker. I just used the flaxseed one and I used it a few years back and it was so different than I remembered. I remembered it being super moisturizing and only holding my bun for 2 days. I used it alone and with a leave in the following week and it flaked both times and was super drying. I’m talking about snow flurries and I haven’t seen that in years 😮 I’m going to try the Krystal gel because that’s the one with the hardest hold or so I remember but I don’t remember it haven’t slip but we will see 🤞

[@biancam2327]

Me either..I doest hold like it used to.. thought it was cause I moved to a more humid climate

[@CaramelCoils]

I haven’t tried the others cause the Olive Oil was always my go-to. Smh I wish they would let people know when they’re changing formulas

[@CaramelCoils]

[@sheba653161]

Love your videos! I think I would consider an affordable price range to be anything under $15-$20. Depending on the size and what the product is. My favorite rinse out conditioner is the Mane Choice Tropical Moringa rinse out or leave in conditioner. I used to mainly use it as a leave in. It works WONDERS as a rinse out too, so I've mostly been using it for that. A good 2 for 1 really.

[@CaramelCoils]

Ok ok I think this is fair. & really??? Wow. I used to loove the braid out glaze from that line but never tried the wash day products. Noteddd 📝

[@jeanninegorden8142]

I have the miche gel, haven't used it yet. I just took my braids out so I'm excited to try it!!

[@CaramelCoils]

Girl you’re gonna loveee! Can’t wait to hear what you think ☺️🤞🏽

[@FitBabe]

The Curlsmith hydro crème soothing mask is BOMB! Once I tried it, I had no desire to use anything else! It’s the perfect base for a hydrated wash n go that LASTS! It’s my #1! I also love their scalp recipe rinse out conditioner as well ❤

If you curly or kinky hair I think trying curlsmith will benefit ur strands believe power embrace ur crown ✨

I might finally crack and get the revair because blowdrying dense hair is such a chore I always feel reluctant to do it but I think its time 😭😭

Same experience with eco styler gel! They must have changed the formula because it literally holds nothing now for me! I even bought another one just to see if it was a bad batch but doesn’t work anymore! I’ll have to try the combat gel you recommended

Love your recommendations and some I already have and love myself including the AP Pre-shampoo, the Curlsmith Soothing Deep Conditioner as well as the Melanin Haircare Conditioner. I do want to try more of the Curls Blueberry Bliss products. I would love for you to review your Bread Beauty products if you haven't already. I have been looking at that line, I have been loving the hair oil so far (got it about 2 weeks ago) however I have not bought any of the other products yet.

[@CaramelCoils]

Yess, we like a lot of the same products! 🙌🏽😌 & noted, I’ll definitely keep this in mind

My question is what were/are your hair goals and have you achieved them? And, what is the longest your hair has ever been? Thank you in advance 😊

Yeah..the eco doesnt hold like it used to..the red argon oil was my go to for slick back..now ive been using aunt jackies flax see gel but it doesnt dry soft like the eco Wish these brands would stop changing things up.

@@CaramelCoils I have! It's made with sea moss so it feels slippery like kelp, it says it's "Medium Hold", and has great slip...pairs well with the All-In-One cream. For my 3c/4a coils, the hold only lasts around 3-ish days, so because of YOU (thank you!), I've now purchased the Miche Tropical Oasis Gel to see if I can finally find a strong hold gel that doesn't completely dry out my fine hair. It comes next week...EEK!!! I'm so excited and hopeful!!!! Your hair looks bomb - I hope it works! haha 🤣😍🙏🏽

The Gummy extra hold gel to me is by far the best gel to sleek back hair. When I use that gel to sleek my hair I don’t need to retouch my hair for the whole week. Just brush up the baby hairs to the back of my hair but babbyyyy that gel is the truth!

[@CaramelCoils]

You know my friend told me about this! I haven’t seen any videos about it or in the store but maybe I’ll try it when I run out of the Combat gel. Have you tried Combat gel? 👀 I have a pretty similar experience when I use it
