I've been in love with the bouncy strength volume foam. I know you are doing these simple routines with only 3 products, I suggest combing that with the wave spray. Something about layering that with a softer hold product on top really seems to give me nice results even if they are looser than harder hold gels. It's great for lightweight summer styling and gives me more volume. I appreciate seeing this styler used on its own. I will keep it on my list for when I use up some of my other products.

[@dkb2375]

Thanks for the tip! Do you use the foam before or after the wave spray?

[@whitneylong3220]

Same!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

That sounds like a fantastic combo!

[@bellamanriquez7912]

Ooo I was just going to ask how to incorporate mousse in this routine!

[@JenFeelsGood]

When you start doing this series with product pairs, I'd love to see this spray with the Briogeo gel.

[@aimeeroberson2983]

Hi Courtney. I wanted to comment on this old video to thank you. I just started my journey and this is the video where I learned about the Effortless waves. My hair is similar to yous. Fine medium density 2a/ b on top and 2c/a underneath. I hesitated because I really don’t like most salt sprays and that’s what I thought it was but. You had it in another video and I went ahead and ordered it. I LOVE IT! You are right you use a ton but I only use it twice a week so it will last. Thank you so much this is soooo easy and perfect it stays for at least 2 days before it goes up. I appreciate you showing how awesome it worked for you!!!!

[@May-qb3vx]

I love Curlsmith so much. I did not set out to have almost exclusively curlsmith in my routine, but after so much trial and error, all but my finishing oil and leave-in conditioner is curlsmith. I also LOVE the effortless wave spray. Perfect for some beachy waves for summer

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

They are pretty great! And yes, the spray is soo good for summer beachy waves!

[@christinaclos1820]

Thank you Courtney! This was just the push I needed to try this as a single styler. Your hair looks so good!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Glad this was helpful!

[@lizuca0199]

In my mom mode I use clarifying shampoo,k18 and bye.

[@15wendyxo]

Would love to see an Ecoslay one brand wash day

[@jessicalostrappo]

I've been really wanting to try the Effortless Waves and you have sealed the deal! I haven't seen may reviews and yours is such a good one! Also, now I know why the In-Shower Style Fixer doesn't work on my hair! Thank you for all the info, I learn so much from you about my own hair type! ❤

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Awe I am glad this was helpful! Thank you!

[@hmuller19]

I gave in and bought Effortless Waves after seeing this video and noticing it was on sale for Prime Day. I was skeptical at first because I wasn't very impressed by the results in the Curlsmith videos, but your wet styling techniques make all the difference, I think. I've used it twice now on wash days and on several refreshes, and I'm really pleased with the results. My hair feels really light (like I don't have anything in my hair) but still defined. I have to use tiny amounts of product to avoid weighing my hair down, so the first time I don't think I used enough because I had quite a bit of frizz at the top of my head when I defused. I actually had better results the next few days when I refreshed by wetting my hair down with a spray bottle, spraying in some Effortless Waves, scrunching, defusing just a few minutes to set, and air drying the rest of the way. I just washed my hair again today and was much more generous with the Effortless Waves on soaking wet hair, and I'm super impressed... It's crazy hot here so I didn't even bother to defuse, and I have soft defined waves with no frizz! I got a slight cast (but I can get casts even just with curl creams sometimes, so that doesn't surprise me), but it scrunched out very easily. This may be my new go-to summer routine when I have no energy to do my hair!

[@rebachick94]

I sometimes don’t want a super defined look either. I love the beachy look in the summer.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yes! It is perfect for summer!

[@kr59137]

My go to for the summer is AG's Beach Bomb. It works really well if I diffuse or air dry. It has the perfect level of grit to enhance my waves but my hair still feels like hair.

[@lisaw7633]

Love your hair color❤. Darker hair looks so good

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you!! Glad to be back!

[@NintenJon64]

Curlsmith is the MVP! You had incredible results with this wash day, Courtney! You just gotta love it when you can wake up out of bed on the 2nd day and have rockin’ curls that are already ready to go without having to refresh. 😂

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yes!!! Seriously!

[@cindyms.1237]

I own all of those Curlsmith products (so many more too ) and have been using the effortless wave spray to help refresh my hair in the morning. It's good for that but I have not tried it on its own. I will today when I wash my hair.

[@christinaclos1820]

Oh my gosh! I commented before I saw day 2.... wow!!!! Your day 2 is gorgeous!!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Love seeing the prices to the products in the description.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Glad that was helpful!

[@debs1664]

LOVE this look on you! Gorgeous! Now I’m inspired to try the Effortless Waves. Thank you for the video!

[@NintenJon64]

Curlsmith has such a great line of products! I’m interested in trying more of their products with the results I’ve been getting from their styling souffle.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you!!!

[@majdahbin-salamon4489]

Your hair looks good with that new styler!!😍 Love it!! I agree with you on the Day 2 hair. Perfection!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

[@Nemisha17]

I really wanna try this product! I love spray leave-ins lately and I feel for someone whose hair gets weighed down so easily, this would be a great styler!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yes!!! It doesn't weigh down the hair!

[@christinemarie2264]

I haven't had luck with the Curlsmith products in the past, but I may try that wave spray.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Awe I hope it works out!

[@jegin6614]

Definitely in survival mode here. I only style my hair when I have to go into the office once a week. Im in Texas too, and this is too much heat for diffusing!

[@MewsView]

Cool wash day! I don't think I've seen the effortless wave spray used before. It may be something to look at some day. My goto is the flexi jelly! I love the really hard cast I get but it doesn't work well for a morning wash day.

[@maryc6091]

I totally agree with you. I really like AG Beach Bomb. There’s something about it that my hair loves. The only thing is I wish it didn’t have glycerine in it-gives me frizz.

[@Morgan-xh5vt]

Wow your hair looks amazing ❤

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Awe thank you!

[@caitlynmurriner685]

The curlsmith shine gel is my new holy grail!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

It's a nice gel! And great that it is unscented!

[@nathalieprange1713]

OMG, OK, I totally need this effortless waves product. I think it may also be super good to refresh. Awesome!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yes!

[@katietomlinson3136]

Oh my goodness I love love the effortless wave spray! I’d watch another video you did with this product and literally went out and bought it that day

[@GummyBear1972]

Thank you, Courtney, for your informative videos! Thanks to your old videos on moisture and protein balance, I just realized my hair is not as healthy and low porosity as I expected. Washing my hair with Dr. Bronner's liquid castille soap weekly for a decade and recently starting CGM with almost daily wetting of my hair is apparently damaging my hair and causing over moisturization (if not hygral fatigue) that is making my wet waves dry straight! I didn't know the pH matters and Dr. B is 9! I recently ordered some protein products from Curlsmith, including the conditioner you used here, to address this problem and I am hoping for the best. I am still on the hunt for a good clarifying shampoo as I am allergic to apples and therefore aple cider vinegar, and can't use this Curlsmith one. Tips welcome!

[@annettedallnielsen2516]

I LOVE Curlsmith for my wavy/curly, fine, low desity hair, the Curlsmith Post wash calming conditioner is the only rinse out conditioner I have ever tryed that don't weigh my hair down. I want to try the Effortless waves next, and mabye I should try the Multi taking conditioner as a Deep conditioner/mask once in a while 👍🏻

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

That's sounds great to try!

[@roseannefish]

Your hair looks gorgeous! I would live to try the effortless waves gel BUT I really dont like the scent of the mousture line! 😭 I like the scents of their other lines, but have recently switched to the shine line as my main shampoo, conditioner, and gel because sometimes the strong scents so close to my nose overwhelm my senses. You are right about the shine gel... that hold is solid! 😆

[@juanitabridges6808]

I’m going to have to try this new spray as a base product with the hydrogel on top. My hair is denser and coarser than yours but I think it may work. I’m finding more liquid or thin moisturizing base products give me better moisture retention and less frizz. I bet this will make a good refresh product too.

[@lorijean1487]

The multi tasking conditioner is my favorite Curlsmith product. Not heavy and doesn't weigh down my fine hair. Also, no aloe is a plus! Lots of their products contain it.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

It is an amazing product!

[@bkagel1]

Thank you so much. My hair is in repair mode from an unfortunate excessive bleach situation. It really likes curlsmith. When I did their quiz for product, I think I got the wrong products. I have all of your products in my Ulta cart. ❤

I am going to give the Effortless Waves a try - but not until I shrink my stash to a more reasonable level (that may take a year).

[@whitneylong3220]

I can relate lol

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

LOL Understandable!

[@AndTheShowGoesOn]

How often would you recommend using the detox shampoo?

[@ketobabysteps4893]

Hearing you say your RA is making you sore...makes me think of Mikhaila Peterson, who has had quite a few joint problems, including a lot of surgery. Maybe look her up and see if what she's doing might help you. Great video. I'm gonna try the Curlsmith product thanks to your info!

[@SmartAlex2]

I usually like my second day hair. Yours looks awesome!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

That's awesome! Love when the 2nd day turns out well!

[@melissaandrews1603]

Today I used Cantu Sulfate Free Cleanser, GVP Conditioning Balm And Kinky Curly Knot Today as my styler and air dried. Curlsmith never disappoints.

[@kelliefiteturner6836]

I am amazed every.single.time. I use the Effortless Waves spray that I can get such great results from a spray! I always get a great second day and an easy refresh on day 3.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Ohh that is amazing! Love that it is a great refresh!

[@melly0_1985]

Oh I now need to try that wave spray! I have been eyeing it! But CS products are so hit and miss for me. Weighing? I did a search of your channel, but do not see much for Curl Keeper. I see you show the Original Styler in a show down with other custards, enhancers, and low hold gels 2 years ago, but no one brand wash day. It’s one brand I want to try, but need you to do it first on your current length of hair (if possible and your allergies aren’t bad to it lol!) 😂❤

[@annesiska4752]

Wow great day 2!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you!

[@snowflakes215]

I like the gel but the smell isn’t my fave so I tend not to use it bc it lingers. Now if this was the smell of the blue line *chef’s kiss*! The last few new items from curlsmith have been orange line so I am hoping the next ones are blue and purple.

[@darlenem4637]

I also love Curlsmith. The Effortless Waves works amazing but the fragrance is very strong and gives me a headache. I am still trying to get used to the fragrance.

[@ioanaschifirnet3814]

I'm in survival mode this summer and I don't even have any kids haha - so I can't even imagine. Very cool that you're continuing with these one brand washdays!

[@ChynnaBlue1]

Thanks so much for this! I LOVE CurlSmith. All of their gels give me flash dry and I can't use them, but I love their cowash, conditioners, treatments, and so many things. I ordered Effortless Waves and one of the new hairsprays during the Ulta sale and can't wait for them to arrive so that I can try them out. When I worked in an office, my routine always included a stop on the 1st floor restroom to scunch out the crunch before heading upstairs and to my desk. :)

[@dkb2375]

What is flash drying? Thx.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Oh I hope this one works out well for you then!!! And love your routine lol

Can you please do a one brand wash day using Jessicurl products and/or another one using MopTop specifically their Curly Hair Custard? I bought it on a whim and can't seem to really make it work for me:/ I don't know if maybe I need to pair it with a hard hold gel? As it doesn't seem to provide standing definition to my wavy hair when used alone as a styler...

[@tracieharris8100]

I would like to see the moisture shampoo n cond with the effortless waves Or if you dont want to use that probiotic what would u use

[@arvillawolfe6770]

What is your nighttime routine for the shorter hair? Our lengths are similar and I'm not sure how to "pineapple" to keep it from straightening everything out. Thanks in advance

[@ChereeLS]

Hi Courtney! Thank you for doing this one brand wash day! I have really wanted to try curlsmith. Do you think a combo of the shine gel and effortless curls would give a longer hold or what are your thoughts?

[@rebeccab3537]

One of your other recent videos has already convinced me to get the Effortless Waves Spray. It looks so good. Question, though, what did you do for heat protection when you diffused? I wish CS stylers and/or leave-ins had heat protection so I didn't have to use a separate product. I do have and enjoy their Miracle Shield.

[@SnowStig26]

Court! You got your mermaid waves with this washday! Looks sooooo great! I think if I had shorter hair I would have had better luck with this product. I'm also not a fan of spray gels - I can never tell where I'm spraying and then end up with uneven application.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you!!! And totally understand where you are coming from with spray gels. Plus, the longer the hair the tougher it will be to hold.

[@tamiburling3530]

I just ordered these products last week and can't wait to try them! They were recommended to me by a salesperson at Ulta. At the time, I didn't have the money to purchase them but once paid I purchased from their website. I have type 2C hair and lately it's been looking a bit frizzy. And I never get the good day 2 hair and have to rewet and restyle. I'm so hoping these products help me with my hair. Your hair is so beautiful and what I would like to see my hair do. You say you sleep with your hair in a pineapple. Do you also wear a silk cap? How do you diffuse your hair (upside down or ?)? I'm fairly new to the curly hair look, have been straightening my hair most of my life so lots of questions.

[@heatherhowe351]

Any advice In choosing a curlsmith shampoo ,conditioner and stylers for wavy fine to medium hair - I need lightweight but moisturising. Love your videos 😊

[@tracieharris8100]

What about that with hairspray Or that reactivator and hairspray

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

I bet that would be good!!! This series is more about keeping it simple with one styler! Otherwise yes!

[@kathyr4132]

Hi. Do you use the wash & scrub shampoo every wash day?

I have been hoping you would show the effortless waves spray!! Would this be ok to use in really high dew points?

[@mandie131]

What do you do/use to refresh day 2?

[@surrendertoflow78]

Update: I did try it and I’m returning it. It really just behaved like a spray gel for me. I tried it on soaking hair, damp hair, and hair in between. I tried a little, I tried a lot. Either way I still got a cast that needed to be scrunched out! It did not hold up to southern humidity so if I walked outside even for 30 min it looked like my hair was trying to escape my head (and yes that’s even with a leave-in conditioner underneath the spray). And because it behaved like a gel for me, it was not super easy to brush out when humidity ruined my hair. Also, people report loving the smell but I thought there was a really weird element to it that I didn’t like and it took TWO shampoos over multiple days to completely get the smell out. So I’ll have to keep looking. I’ve been wondering about this one so I appreciate this video especially! I’m one that suffers from stringy curls when scrunching in gel. Plus gel is just not holding up to this southern summer! So I’ve been looking for something that is just easier and would even be soft enough to allow me to brush my hair if I needed to. Really wanting to try this one now!

[@luciem4562]

My hair gets stringy if it’s not wet enough when applying gel.

[@surrendertoflow78]

@@luciem4562 I’ve tried all the wetness levels 😛 Most gels give me a flash drying kind of feel no matter how wet or how much or little leave in or cream i use. I want something that’ll maintain that juicy slip even when scrunching in the product! Hoping this does it

[@luciem4562]

@@surrendertoflow78 Yeah, it’s so frustrating to put so much effort into styling just to have it come out stringy. Yesterday I tried using a leave in conditioner for the first time and as soon as I applied it the wet frizz went away and the hair clumped into bigger wave families. I used the Curlsmith weightless air dry cream.

It feels dry and crunchy and not so defined. I want it to work for me so I'm going to give it another shot. Do you micro plop or regular plop?
