if you want that wet curly hair look go for gel if your looking for hydrated volume curls go for cream

What are the products you used? And did you use any styling techniques after?

[@theblueagate]

How do you apply cream and then gel? How long do you wait between one application and the other?

[@luna_musefusion]

I layer, curl cream then gel on top and top it off with a bit of hair oil the next morning

[@Prosebeauty]

That's a great routine! 🤩

[@kirstysaquatics547]

Hi, @luna_musefusion what hair oil do you use? I have been looking for one to use on my hair.

[@luna_musefusion]

@@kirstysaquatics547 Hi. I've used coconut oil for years, not too much, my hair loves it. I use different hair oils, to wear for shine and nourishment I use coconut oil or anything else I have on hand, Jojoba is very light, Olive oil smells but works in a pinch. Currently trying out the Prose one, it's more like a serum or thick hair product than an oil, looks thick like castor oil but not heavy unless you use alot..I like the smell so I use a bit just for that. The formulas are custom but that's my experience with the one they sent me, smells good, and provides a bit of shine. If your hair is oily and you're looking for more of a treatment, try castor oil, super thick, has to be washed out, application is not fun but apparently it's really nourishing. I found castor to be too drying so I mix it with other oils. For hair growth, to use on the scalp, I highly recommend Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening oil. Also for a scalp treatment if you need some hair growth, try The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density. Bald spots are gone, hair is fuller now. My family and friends had the same experience with those 2 products. Happy hair experimenting!

[@ayushimishra4814]

What if I comb my hair next day, will the curls be the same??

[@OpalMoonstone247]

What's a really good hold drugstore curl cream that I can use on my wavy 2c hair? It falls down to a loose 2b with the one I'm currently using from NYM. I have very long, extremely frizzy, dry hair/ends and I find that although gel holds better, and looks more defined, the first couple days, it just tangles it harder and damages it(even though the gel is alcohol free). They keep reformulating the curl creams that I've used in the past, so I'm really just wanting an affordable cream that's safe and has a stronger defining hold to it. Budget $10 ish.💙🙏🏻

[@rizzler206]

Just wash your hair and put curl cream after on damp or wet hair but just use curl cream becuase its the most versatile

[@Prosebeauty]

Hi! You shouldn't need to use a mousse along with styling gel. Styling gel can however, be paired with your custom curl cream.

[@Blinkverce]

Do u have to wash ur hair after using gel

[@user-yh9fy9hd6o]

My hair looks sooo similar to urs when it’s wet and I scrunch it up (although it’s longer and my layers are longer aswell so they are probably heavier) and I definitely had really curly hair when i was younger, but my hair just won’t stay curly when I dry it (doesn’t matter if I use heat or not) and I genuinely don’t know what to do

[@user-12139]

Hey! I had the exact same problem before, and I recommend you using a detox/clarifying schampoo and a deep conditioner for a while so that you curly hair gets cleaned from all that build up over the years, and the conditioner will give your hair moisture, give it some time and hopefully your curls will be revivied! It worked wonders for me, and I have the same hair type as you by the way you are describing it, long with layer and curl types as the woman in the video❤ I hope this helped 😊 Edit: I use cheap drugstore products like cantu and bb curls❤ But experiment a little bit and hopefully your curls will come back to life, but sometimes hair changes over time and can go from curly (in you childhood) to straight (in adulthood) because of hormonal changes, I really hope that helped, sorry for the long comment 😅

Does it damage hairs

[@AndreatLarsen]

Heeey! Do you put this in after you’re normal bath you know with normal shampoo and conditioner? And after you’re done have wet hair I put curl cream in and dry it after?

[@Prosebeauty]

Yes, this is after washing and conditioning.

[@jessiromero4967]

Leave in vs cream vs mousse vs gel ?

[@momoanders742]

You dont use leave in as style

[@luvv.bj89]

leave in is more for moisture, detangling, smoothing, and shine cream is for definition and softening mousse is for volume gel is for definition and hold! So you can't really compare all of them

[@skyxstar250]

i have a question! my curls only last for two days, if i want to style them again, am i supposed to wash my hair and repeat the same process?

[@Prosebeauty]

Hi! So it actually, depending on the product and how your hair reacts, you can take a spray bottle filled with water or a little leave-in conditioner to reactivate the product already in your hair.

[@azra5454]

is it fine to use curl gel every 2 days or does it damage?

[@Prosebeauty]

Hi there, if you're using a gel with ingredients that can dehydrate your hair like drying alcohols, then we don't recommend using every 2 days. Our Styling Gel doesn't have alcohol in it so it's totally fine to use more frequently! 😊

Hi! Britt used her custom Prose Curl Cream and Styling Gel 😊

[@Andrew-Knecht]

Would it be best to use a leave in conditioner to use along with my curl cream and gel? Also should I scrunch after applying the curl cream then add the gel or should I apply both the curl cream and the gel at the same time then scrunch/diffuse? I have fine 2A medium density high porosity hair. Thanks.

[@Prosebeauty]

Hi! You don't have to use a leave in, however this will vary from person to person. We recommend trying both methods and see which works best for you.

What should I use gel or curl cream if i have long curly -wavy hair ? I want my curls to last long as i am going to college also not dry

[@Prosebeauty]

That is a great question! Curl Cream is the perfect care & styling hybrid that defines curl pattern, provides soft hold while keeping curls and coils hydrated. Our new Custom Styling Gel is made to coat the hair, weld and clump adjacent fibers to each other and form a flexible veil that defines curl pattern, locks-in hydration & protects from environmental aggressors like humidity. When used together, your Curl Cream and Styling Gel will give you MAJOR hold, moisture, volume, definition, and shine! ✨
