We need more " worst" lists it saves me from wasting $$$. I love and hate Cantu curl activator, it makes my hair look good and more defined curls but it feels so heavy and the next day isn't so good. Better for 3b and up hair

[@NemesisMarie]

Yesss, I have a love/hate relationship with Cantú products too🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ll work on more “best/worst” videos😉😉

This is the first video I've watched of urs and im already about to binge watch your hair videos lol. I love how its like ur talking with a friend and very expressive ... I have been trying to find more wavy/curly KZbinrs and everyone I've found I just can't get into its like they are talking to a camera, talking at me instead of talking with me..

[@steffaneejagdeo5436]

I feel the same way about Rizzos Curls! All their products weighed my hair down and made it oily. Excited to try the others you shared :)

[@NemesisMarie]

Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one! lol I wanted to love them so baaaaaad🥺🥺 and yes!!! I promise that the ones from the “Best” category are worthy!!

[@johnnvogt]

I got that Curlsmith gel “fixer” in one of their kits because as of 4ish weeks now I’ve been rocking my wavy hair and it actually works for me. Now the 3 product kit (co wash, curl balm, and that fixer) are the only real wavy/curly products I’ve tried before so I don’t have much experience but I love all of them. The kit is the transition kit btw.

[@shantellhall1577]

Video idea. Do a wash with all your best products and compare it to a wash with all your worst products. 🤔

[@ellafoster1421]

I used my mom’s Kristen ess conditioner last night and woke up with waves that stayed so miss Kristen ess really knows what she’s doing

[@NemesisMarie]

RIGHT?!! Seriously such an underestimated brand!!!

[@anaestrada6372]

Finally someone talking about wavy hair is always thick and tight curl or coils no offence but to find a video and product for wavy hair is good because my hair is like yours and thin .. Make more videos please co wash or product for wavy hair

[@makenzietremelling3848]

I'm glad you mentioned Rizos! I used them when my hair was short and loved them!! Now that its shoulder length it weighs my hair down and I thought I was styling wrong. 😭 I still love their new products but the "orginal" products aren't it for me anymore.

[@NemesisMarie]

Yesssss! Now my hair is quite long and its become a bit thirstier so I love using their defining cream and gel, but their shampoo/condish are still a NO for me

[@jessicasopolis3904]

Bwahahahaha! You crack me up! That In Shower Fixer is one of my HGs! I use it like a concentrated gel with lots of water with and after I apply it. My hair is thick n coarse. Frizzy n medium porosity. Xo

[@Star-dj1kw]

The Curlsmith In Shower Style Fixer is a tricky gel. Something about it causes flash drying in my hair. I haven’t given up on getting a routine with it to work yet. Right now I have my hair in a hard cast with that gel 😆. Here’s what I used: 1. Living Proof Curl Defining Cream 2. Curlsmith In Shower Style Fixer gel (then I scrunched and I plopped) 3. Removed the plop- scrunched in Aquage Freezing Foam

[@jessicasopolis3904]

The In Shower Style Fixer I'd one of my HG gels in my rotation! To each, their own I reckon! I find, using it as a gel concentrate works best..diluted with a ton of water..before product application, during and even after! It helps distribute the product evenly and combats the flash drying which I'm convinced is caused by my beloved polyquaternium 69...this ingredient is also the star ingredient in my other fave gel, Jessicurl Spiralicious Gel! Same ingredient, same flash drying, same application hack with the handfuls of water n using less product than you would of lighter gels. Hope this is helpful! Xo

[@Star-dj1kw]

@@jessicasopolis3904 my hair likes the Jessicurl gel. I think it’s the aloe in the In Shower Style Fixer that bothers my hair. But that’s ok bc now I have found Curlsmith’s Strong Hold Shine Gel so I have a perfect 👍🏼 gel that my finicky hair won’t reject. It’s THICK too like the Style Fixer so I do emulsify it with water 💦.

[@jessicasopolis3904]

@@Star-dj1kw I need to pick up the mini size of that!!! Xo

[@michellek.i5153]

I also hated the Curlsmith style gel the first time I used it. I couldn't SOTC and it always left my hair looking oily, like from root to ends. But, one day I mixed it with another gel and it was perfect! I use my regular amount of gel and then add a pea size amount of styler fixer and mix in my palms. It just helps give hold to my other gels and I love it.

[@NemesisMarie]

Wow I feel like a ✨fool✨ for not trying to do that before I got rid of it hahaha I just hated it so muuuuuch🤣🤣🤣

[@AparnnaPraveen]

oooh.. I'm going to try this!

[@kaylablanton8519]

I have 2c-3a curls. I like the Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer BUT not in the shower. The first time I used it, I went by the directions & used it in the shower. Soaking & dripping. It gave me ok hold but not what I was expecting. I tried it again the other day & didn't use it in the shower. My hair was still pretty wet but not soaking. I did like it that way. It gave me more hold not having my hair sooo wet. Maybe try it that way? 🤔 BTW, I was watching one of your vids a few days ago. You were happy that Donnie Trump was voted out of office. I literally thought "That's my girl!" 😁💯

[@NemesisMarie]

One day, I’ll buy a travel size of that gel and try again 😩 and omg absolutely! This is an anti-bigot channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@RachaelSwitalski]

Hah! I thought I was the only wavy/curly on the planet who doesn't love the In Shower Style Fixer - it breaks up my curls, the entire style falls apart, I have tried every which way to use it and it ALWAYS ruins my hair.

[@NemesisMarie]

Seriously, one of my most regretful purchases hahaha

[@vanessamalik1102]

Hey Nemesis, I'm a new subscriber, just discovered you today and have been binge watching your videos. Do you have any fragrance-free products you would recommend for someone with Type 2B, medium porosity hair that is easily weighed down? I am just starting my wavy hair journey & discovered that I'm allergic to fragrance. It's been challenging to find good stylers (hairspray, gel, mousse, etc). Any suggestions you can share would be greatly appreciated! 🥰

You crack me up, girl!!

[@kateg7697]

I really enjoyed this video. How much verb leave in conditioner do you add in your spray bottle to refresh your hair?

I used Rizos when she wasn’t in stores, and I was so disappointed. My hair felt like it had layers of wax on it. I couldn’t understand what was going on… so I now know I’m not alone

[@jordanyoder9356]

can you actually use all of the "best products" together for a wash day ?

[@sierrachapman8986]

I just found you and im so happy!

[@Mochi-bts]

GIRLLLLL u didn’t do an in shower conditioner 😭

[@michellek.i5153]

I'm so surprised you mention Kristin Ess as your fave shampoo. I tried most of the curl line and I hated it 😐 But I think its because my hair needs more protein than moisture and that line is pure moisture.

[@NemesisMarie]

Oh no🤭🤭🤭 yeah my hair is one THIRSTY ass ho, she drinks up all that moisture right up lol. A different shampoo/condish combo that I love, and is more on the protein side, is the Verb Ghost Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

[@awkwardaquarian6239]

Love the video, you always make me smile even when I'm having a terrible day 💕 That the Curlsmith gel is super hit or miss! I hated it the first time I tried it (and I followed the instructions EXACTLY on my 2C waves)!! The second time I tried it I ignored the directions and applied it the way I usually use gel (soaking wet in the shower - but a palmful per section of hair over my curl cream) and my waves lasted for FIVE DAYS. I've never had successful third day hair and I managed to get day 5 hair 😱 if it didn't have glycerin in it I would never stop using that gel for the rest of eternity. Sharing in case anyone else does a soaking wet application like I do and is curious! 😊

[@NemesisMarie]

OMG OKAY WHAT?!?! That sounds amazing. Just because of this comment, I’m gonna give that damn gel another chance. If it don’t work, Imma cry and let it go hahaha

[@jennyrose9454]

Glycerine isn't so bad. I've stopped obsessing over specifics if it works it works. I'd rather have good hair than not because of 1 ingredient

[@jessicasopolis3904]

The polyquaternium 69 helps to block the frizz that the glycerin usually causes on my hair in humidity. Your mileage may vary bit I live in TX n it is one of my HG gels in my rotation. ❤️

[@salma405]

Do you recommend the purple Pureology Moisture shampoo / conditioner for wavy hair?

[@jthornburg6102]

I love the pureology moisture line in the winter when I’m really dry, but my thick, fine curls really like the pureology clean volume line (that I think they’ve since re-released with a new scent under the name pure volume). I tend to keep both on hand and use whichever one I think I need on that particular wash day, although I tend to use the volume one more in the summer.

I love your tips do much I saw already a lot of you other video's and you are only spreading facts

[@NemesisMarie]

Hey love! I honestly haven’t used Eco gels yet🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m so sorry! And yeah I mostly have seen girls with very tight curls use them so idk if it would work for wavy hair as well. Do you have brands like Not Your Mothers, Kinky Curly, Cantu, or even Garnier Fructis? Cuz they all have great gels for wavy hair

[@heidysasi2796]

@@NemesisMarie yes, we have Garnier and Cantu but I don't know if there gels products available from these 2 brands. Which will you recommend? maybe I can find it online.

what conditioner do you think is best for 2c hair

[@NemesisMarie]

I absolutely love the Moisture Rich one from Kristin Ess, and right now I’m testing the Verb Ghost Conditioner and wow it’s also so so so nice🤭 (the shampoo too)

[@potatopirate5557]

Curlsmith is really awesome, plz give them another try, that's just their worst product. Try the Hold Me Softly Style Balm for curl definition cream, Weightless Air Dry Cream for leave in condition, hydro style flexi gel for more hold (I don't usually need it tho), co wash & other shampoos all great and so are the deep conditioners. The bond repair salve is the best thing on the planet, it completely saved my hair (which needed protein) if I leave it in for an hour it gives far more visible results than Olaplex or Briogeo. Every item is nothing but all natural ingredients that are truly healthy for your hair. But some of their products are for thicker, tighter curls, they have stuff for the full range of 2's and 3's, u just have to know which is which. Everything I said works great on my ultra fine, fluffy, frizzy, porous,, 2b, 2c with a little 2a and 3a hair and makes it super soft & shiny, perfectly defined, weightless, frizz- free, lasts for days waves & ringlets. Also, a lot of their products are available in travel size now so u can try them out before you invest the full cost of a regular size. Those products saved my hair and completely changed my game so I have to talk them up. 💛

[@NemesisMarie]

OH DAMN OKAY KNOWLEDGE!!! Okay I’ll give them a second chance cuz that gel...omg what a waste of money 🤣 I tried it again recently and yeah ITS A NO FROM ME. But I’ll try the ones you listed bb. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MENTION THEM TO ME!!

[@kristenharris2115]

Yes to all of this! I got a bunch of the sample sizes and pretty much love all of them EXCEPT this one In-Style Fixer Gel. I had the exact opposite experience from you...in my hair it's way too stiff? sticky? something nasty. Made my hair kind of twig-like in a way no amount of SOTC would undo. But everything else from Curlsmith has been great!

@@Hennaf16 i have tried the weightless air dry cream literally offered me no moisture I prefer the Shea moisture silicone free miracle style leave in for half the price, I’ve tried the in shower styler, the jelly and the soufflé, there’s something else but I can’t remember I think it might have been the protein leave in (?) not only do I find them really really light hold something about them dries my hair out, I find the next day my hair is dry and I didn’t connect the dots until one time I heard someone mention it in their video and I thought maybe it is them and I took them out of my routine and no more dry hair next day. I wanted to love these so so much, I love everything about the brand but so far zero out of four and I scared to try anything else now.
