WHEN SHOULD YOU APPLY GEL IN YOUR CURLY HAIR ROUTINE?

When should you be applying gel in your curly hair routine? Depending on how much hold you prefer, you can apply your gel before you Ribbon Curl, or after. (or both!)
Curl Foaming Gel www.amazon.com/VERB-Curl-Foam...
💜Benefit of adding gel BEFORE: The stronger hold you like, and the more frizz and flyaways you have, I recommend adding gel before brush styling. The curl results are high definition, more separation.
💅🏻Apply it to your hair and style with the Ribbon Curls Technique for extra curl definition and hold.
💜Benefit of adding gel AFTER: The gel creates a shell around the curl that protects without creating too much crunch. The curl results are chunky, soft and fluffy.
💅🏻Apply it by gently glazing it over your wet, defined curls to give hold and scrunch to finish.
*Results WILL vary from product to product. This is the @verbproducts x @manesbymell Curl Foaming Gel which is easily able to brush through the hair, and does not make the hair crunchy. #VerbProducts discount code: MANESBYMELL
**For stronger hold, use less cream/leave-in conditioner. A detangling spray/hair primer works as well to Prep before brush styling.
***If using a mousse, I recommend scrunching it in after you Ribbon Curl Style.
****You can also layer gel before AND after. There is no right or wrong answer, just preference!

Here's the link to the gel I am using! It's currently on sale on amazon! amzn.to/3ovmDBQ

[@kiesasmith2544]

Fake

[@rebeccaromine5208]

I apply gel after my cream product and after it’s had about 10 minutes to wet plop. I find this gives my hair some time to absorb the moisturizing properties of the cream and begin to dry so it’s not soaking wet when I go to apply my gel. This helps my finer hair and soft curls not get weighed down while still getting a decent hold.

[@asheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

I'm going to try this, thank you!

[@karenshoucairmcgray4902]

I will try this as well,and thank you!

[@7bradyanne]

Ill also try this 😂 thanks!

​@UmmMalekxo🌸 yeah why not try to make your natural curly hair be at it's best?

[@isabellec5796]

may I ask do you still apply oil with this routine?

[@jc7blessed]

A good gel may hold your hair, but a ManesByMell subscription will hold your entire hair routine together☺💜💜💜💜💜

you should work in marketing and advertising because ur play on words are just the best!!

[@princessbanannahammock3925]

I know that your hair is super duper curly, but could you please please please please please please please do a video on a routine for a beginner with fine 2a/2b wavy hair? Bonus points if it's short wavy hair, and if the products are cheap. I'm broke, and my hair is cut like carey mulligans long pixie. It's a struggle. Haha

[@sydneyruewho13]

Your channel has changed my life and my hair thank you for being such a great content creator

[@ManesByMell]

wow this made my heart smile. thank you!

[@iridescentaurora268]

I’ve actually started using both gel and mouse on my wash days, mix the gel with my curl cream and put both in before I plop (so when my hair is sopping wet, fresh out the shower) then I’ll put in mouse and brush-style before diffusing. Gives a pretty good finish. But my hair is pretty fine with low porosity, so a little product goes a long way for me

[@HolaKenliVibez]

Thanks for sharing . Am going to try this .

[@BananaTPie]

That hair is looking healthy as heck.

always use the gel after, gonna try it b4!

That is good to know! I definetly will try both ways.

[@kleinerplagegeistplagegeis5057]

@@ManesByMell Sure! I usually do the glazing and that works well. My curls then look tidy and well groomed. But the brushing through hold up for 4 solid days as well and it saved some time in styling. I need to try it a few more times I think, but so far I like both. Also I really enjoy your tips. My hair has improved a lot in the past couple month. Thanks for being our curly hair fairy godmother 🙏😄

ok this is very validating bc I stopped experimenting with gel bc I got stringy hair too when I brushed it in :< one time I tried to do a caste over it and it turned out so pretty but that was just once so ive been nervous to try again

I love your hair ❤ I have curly hair (somewhat) but I can’t get my curls as pretty as yours 😢

[@CoramDeo1977]

😃

[@Lyeqe-34]

Today i realized that my curls like when i put the mousse and gel before i style i styled one strand of hair after i put the gel and mousse just to see but golly as somone with wavy reviving curls bc of the damage (i never brushed my hair for months in a row so its damaged) that one strand was a perfect coil it was fluffy and beautiful and ive never really had a coil so im now going to put mousse and gel before i style😊

[@MaggieFrett]

Hi Mel. I really appreciate your informative videos. I’m trying to figure out how much of the Verb curl cream to use. If I section my hair into 5 sections, i.e., one section on the top, two side sections, and two back sections, will a dime size per section be sufficient?

[@karenrivas4098]

Question! After my hair is dry and I scrunch out the cast i separate my clumped up curls, but they end up getting frizzy! I do use a tiny bit of oil and I don’t have the curl definition either All the products I use are from innersense, and I have a shower filter

[@karenrivas4098]

Oh and how can I get my hair to not clump up so much?

[@lady_bakes_a_lot1426]

Hey! You had great questions. Just curious if you've since figured out some answers.

[@shadowtouched16]

I just want to wash and codition in the shower and not have to put anything else on my hair. I feel like its dirty the second I start applying gel or mouse to it. Its a real struggle.

[@fifi13912]

Mel, I have a mixture of 2a/2b/2c fine hair. It is just below shoulder length and is my natural colour which is a very pale silver and it is so pale in places it is white. It is also very greasy and I need to wash it every day. If I put a curl cream under a gel, would the curl cream make my hair more greasy? Thanks. Love you and your channel. You’re fab. Fiona, U.K. xxxx

[@eeshaalusman]

I think it depends on the curl cream. The one i use doesnt make my hair greasy at all but another might.

[@clownzystreams180]

[@anaplp3734]

Tha is for the tip Mel! Question, what brand is the brush you are using? Thanks! 🌸

ur very welcome! Here im using one from tangle teezer amzn.to/4377lSH

i cannot get volume like you do! i also don’t know how you’re brushing through your hair. mine, even when freshly washed and conditioned, refuses to do the denman brush thing

sorry about that! how can i help you out?

[@msmonica832]

@@ManesByMell Hi Mel! I’m going to buy these products today. For the right side of your hair. You used the cream first, brush styled through then used the mouse with the prayer hands method right? TIA!

What do you recommend for my hair to grow?

[@nancyzollner03]

Do you ever use mousse?? I was told mousse was better than gel. PLEASE HELP!

Oooooohhhh dang. There is always tomorrow 😅

[@daliamartinez8967]

But you brushed it again after putting in the gel. So how is that any different?

My hair without gel so frizzy

[@ManesByMell]

same!!

[@glecygamelin2226]

❤❤

[@katerinan8352]

Ok I get it, but how do I get an even coat if I am doing the after??? I mainly like to apply before because I brush it and get more of an even coat through out my hair. I struggle with root definition so brushing it through really helps, but then I sometimes get that stringiness you talk about 😢

[@jglac5983]

I prefer brushing it through too. Actually combing the gel through then do praying hands followed by gently scrunch 1x or 2x with my damp tshirt

[@zehrad3994]

' never tried gel before. im afraid it will give me scalp buildup since i already have some

[@marthakorczukowski3890]

@manesbybell what kind of hair glaze is ok for curly. Hair

[@superlady2960]

So, what is the clip you put an inch down from your part? Does that do something special? Hmmm? 🧐

[@Katz66]

What kind of cream “ verb”? Is that a leave in?

[@amberreyna8042]

Ami dumb or did she not do the same thing on both sides? 😭 she added product and then brushed on both ???

[@rivalpiper]

She put the gel foam on before brushing, in the first half. She talks about the order and does exactly what she's saying.

[@nancytakiar3851]

Hi, I started using gel and curl cream Dipity Do..I noticed my hair got very frizzy soon after washing..Can u tell me the reason?

[@Peace210ve]

What would y’all recommend for someone who doesn’t want the “crunch”? I have loose curls but thin hair and I love the softness of it, but anytime I try to go in with gel or mousse to pronounce the curl it ends up being hard/crunchy, which I can’t stand due to sensory issues. Am I just applying it wrong? Help!!

[@staybruta]

I would recommend a custard that is runny. Im At the end of my transitioning stage so it could work different for everyone but this product keeps my hair soft but still has slight hold 🙂 I always use this straight out the shower it defines my curls so much ! I use mie lle pomegranate and honey sculpting custard !
