Weekly Wash & Go | Week 11 | The Doux Mousse Def

[@BrittanyMia]

Update: I now cleanse my hair 2x per week, so my priorities are no longer trying to make a wash and go last. The Doux mousse def is one of my favorite products for a fluffy, romantic wash and go.

[@courtneynel7433]

me: "this is the most perfect hair I have ever seen." you: "I don't like it." 😂

[@taereecutie97]

you have truly mastered your wash and go ! it looks soooo good !!!!

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you 💗

[@ossier2796]

I love your day7 hair, beautiful.

[@MiVidaBellisima]

Def trying this combo bc those perfect ringlets are everything

[@jahye4946]

This definitely is the best wash and go I’ve ever seen. You should make a “do my hair with me video” where you barely make any cuts sit down and talk in the camera and show how long it really takes to do this. So the viewers can do their hair with you I’d love to watch that and I’m definitely subscribing ❤❤

[@Shay.bae92]

I’m blown away. You encourage me to keep trying untill I master my wash and go

[@BrittanyMia]

I'm so glad to hear that. You can do it! It took me yeeears and a few big chops to get it. You got this 🫶🏾

[@youie4106]

I love your videos! I have tighter curls as well so seeing your process is really helpful. I also use UFD as a base but you’re making me realize I’m not using enough water. Your curls are beautiful, keep the videos coming please!

[@charmikaparker0917]

I learned the hair way to not pair Doux with anything else. It says it on the bottle but I ignored it and paired it with UFD. I had super bad flaking. However, by itself, I loved The Doux mousse!

[@BrittanyMia]

How long did your set last when you used the mousse by itself? that seems like a recipe for dry hair for me, at least.

[@charmikaparker0917]

@@BrittanyMia I ended up up doing a two-twist instead of a wash n go and it lasted all week.

[@tvshouze]

Your hair looks good. I've tried this combo before but it didn't define my curls as well as other products and I prefer a little more hold. I've heard that UFD & Ecoslay Jello Shot are a great combo and I've heard Moptop Custard is a great gel by itself (but it's a little pricey).

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you 😊 I appreciate the recommendations. I’ve heard really good things about the Ecoslay for sure. I love a good custard over anything. I’ll look into your suggestions ✨thanks

[@BrittanyMia]

Love that! You’re welcome ☺️

[@Dgirl22s]

Girl I thumbs up you vids as soon as they start 😂 love them! I use this combo when I want something quick and easy though I find the mousse works better for me on hair that's not soaking wet. I put UFD all over my hair then add the mousse after, sometimes out of the shower. I don't add any more water once I put the base gel on and feel I get more longevity. The mousse just spreads easy for me and I don't need such small sections, plus it dries faster.

[@BrittanyMia]

I’m so glad to see you commenting! I look for your name 🤣 that’s good to know. I find that when I put UFD all over my hair, it’s hard for me to add a topper because it’s hard to separate my curls while adding the topper. The curls are clumped from the base gel application already. I feel as if I’m ruining the longevity of my set when I add water after the base, but it’s become such a habit. Even my hairstylist told meI don’t need such small sections and water for the topper. I have to give the no water after the base gel application a try!

[@PreppyFay12]

@@BrittanyMia I was going to say something similar in terms of water usage. More water or soaking wet hair can really reduce the efficiency of the mousse. Mousse/foams work well on damp hair.

[@rainndropxs]

Your hair is beautiful! The shine, the coil, the springiness of your curls is everything 😍 New subscriber here!

[@BrittanyMia]

[@shannonberry2426]

You should try The Doux Crazy Sexy Curl mousse if you haven't already. It seems more moisturizing than the original IMO.

[@ossier2796]

I just used UFD with ICH (my fav combo) but I might try the Doux Mousse Def as a topper the next time. My hair with mousse only last 3-4 days which is okay since I wash my hair twice a week.

[@valori6703]

OK! I’m definitely not applying enough product. Your sets are gorgeous!

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank ya 🤎

[@Mindyourbusiness48]

The hair after the shake though!!! Beautiful.

[@BrittanyMia]

😊 thank you. Sometimes the shake is magical. It’s definitely necessary for me when I’m using a product like uncle funky’s daughter.

[@PreppyFay12]

Love the joy you expressed in the video so refreshing to watch! You reminded me again of why I love foam wash n gos. I only wear them for 4 days because that's when my oily scalp starts to get irritated so its prefect for me since I wash often. Love the soft, flexible big hair for 4 full days and then get to reset and maintain big hair for days. The shine was impeccable I noticed immediately it gave more shine then other combos you have done. Totally understand why you didn't prefer it for a day 5 and I think your are right foams are necessarily meant to hold up for 7 days the same way a traditional gel would. I haven't been loving the crunchy gel wash n gos and want to take a break from twisout with foams ( The Doux (pronounced "Dew" like you said the first time)' Crazy Sexy Cool Mousse is the one I have been using). I am going to try the Kinky-Curly Combo again. I'm not sure but The Doux's Crazy Sexy Curl Mousse might have more of the hold you are desiring if you decide to try it. But otherwise I think it would perform similarly vs a more hard holding gel.

[@BrittanyMia]

Yes, I remember talking about how we both wash our hair twice a week in an older video. Now that I’m looking for more hold to keep it at once a week, I may check out that other mousse. Let me know how the kinky-curly combo works out for ya.

[@tammie3194]

It’s pronounced more like “doo”. (I speak French😅)

I have to shampoo twice and with sulfates I use to much gel and styling creams I just steam or sit under the dryer with a good moisturizing conditioner. I’ve never had issues

Thanks for making those detailed video. I get what you were saying about the feel with this combo. For me by day 3 it was big and frizzy. It looks great for few day and after it's like I need to wash it. I'm still a bit struggling using UFD even tough I use a lot a water. I've use with I create hold but I still don't like it much. So I'm trying other combo.

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks for watching 👋🏾 What other base gel works well for you? UFD is my most reliable and affordable (since I use it so much). But I want to know your experience and results with another base styler.

[@rcurlie]

I can’t stand ufd. I would use it like a leave in under another gel. Not enough hold. I tried it for a wash and go as a styler and it didn’t have enough hold and was super sticky while trying to diffuse my hair 😕

[@psr076]

@@BrittanyMia Yes I see for me the UFD is not sold in store per say. I buy online from online blackowned store. It’s like 39$ so I’ve been looking for other options. L . A Giovanni styling gel is botanical that I like. Kinky curly custard while expensive for me it’s worth and works well for me. Camille rose’s curl maker is another good gel ($$$ for us in 🇨🇦 ). I tried recently ecoslay orange marmelade is ok but I want to try their jello shot. I’m experimenting so much that I tried Patter styling cream with the strong hold gel (Bomb result).

1 hour under dry can make hair frizzy. My deva curl stylist say 20 minutes then air dry to limit frizzy

[@michelles7983]

Thank you so so much for this video!!!! I used to use Uncle Funky Daughters religiously until the recent formula change 😩. This time around it doesn’t work well with my leave in conditioner. Has your routine or how you use this product changed at all since the formula change?!? Thank you so much again!!! ❤

[@BrittanyMia]

You are so welcome! I actually don’t use this product that much anymore at all. I don’t get the volume that I want with it. I’m still tweaking to see how I can re-implement it back into my routine because I have a lot of it left. It also can be a little too moisturizing for my hair.

Your hair looks amazing! I just used Curly Magic w/Nairobi mousse but I reversed the order (mousse then gel). Not bad, but a little too soft with good hold and definition if you know what I mean. Almost a wet look. I'll try again but with less UFD.

Hey Brittany happy Tuesday, question for you. I noticed that you use the colortrak & revair hair clips. Do you have a preference of either or do they work exactly the same? I ordered a jumbo pack of the colortrak brand but I haven't used it yet. Just curious if one clip is better than the other.
