My hairdresser told me this! I was applying product from lightest to heaviest bit she said mousse should go last because it adds bounce to the hair due to its airiness. That lightness disappears if you put gel on top of it
Tried the bowl method with gel first yesterday all for the first time and I love the results!!! I definitely need to keep playing around with it to perfect it but I'm so happy!
@@kathydilorenzo9744 omg yes! IT'S ACTUALLY AWESOME go for it! I definitely will be doing this all the time now. The bowl being lower actually does seem to be easier than the counter, my neck was sore is the only complaint I had lol
Ahh so this is just my hair!! Hair stylists love when you bring in reference photos, so maybe take a screenshot to bring in if you want something similar?! 💛
I do mine in the same order for this exact reason! Btw, have you ever tried the Curly Magic gel? It’s my favorite to use with the Not Your Mother’s mousse.
Yes so my favorite gels are the kinky curly curling custard, prose medium hold gel, and the not your mothers hard hold gel-for mousse I almost exclusively use the NYM curl talk one! With that said though, techniques matter a LOT more than exact products imo so if you already have a gel and mousse, just give it a try with those vs buying something new!
@@N08R76H kinky curly is just the name of the brand! Their products can be used on all hair types including waves (they say this on their website/all product descriptions!) :)
i have the same problem... every wavy/curly hair tutorial says to not brush or wet your hair between washes but i found out it works for me! every morning i put some water on my hair (using my hands) and then brush & style them as i do on wash days. it doesn't take too long and looks waaaaaay better than straight out of the silk bonnet 😅
@urresyacreates I do the same thing. Take my bonnet off, flip head upside down and finger comb my roots to get the hair off my scalp and then spray it wet, comb it out and apply refreshing foam and scrunch. by day 3 I use leave in conditioner and no product.
I have to ask, does your floor get all wet? And how long do you think your process takes you? Start (out of the shower) to finish (changing into clothes 😂)? Thank you 😊
Will the waves still hold if u diffuse using cold air? I’ve known I’ve had wavy hair for a while now but didn’t know how to care for it until seeing ur channel. I don’t like putting heat on my hair so idk if cold air will still hold the curl
So do you scrunch with the towel to dry it before or after the mouse? I've seen you do it different ways so what is the final step by step that you have found works best?
It depends on the look!! Applying all product before the towel will cut down on a lot of frizz, but applying mousse after the towel will give some bigger looser volume :)
There are videos that show you how to figure out what type of hair you have. Also, some people's hair changes as they age. I had stick straight hair when I was younger and just (I'm 46) realized my hair is wavy now.
p.s. you can find all my go to products + some budget friendly recs here: shopmy.us/sophiemariegraf 💛
I do like this not your mother's brand, they have everything, the gel works good, and they're affordable! I ordered some ouidad gel to try too.
The kitty said “woman u r taking too long! I’m OUT!” 😂😂 but that hair is STUNNING ❤
😂😂
Idk what it is about you crunching up your hair then squeezing but it's visually relaxing 🤣🤣❤️ very beautiful!
Ahh I’m glad haha!

Yay!!!! 💛💛
Love this idea! Definitely going to give it a try next wash day!
Let me know how it goes!!! ❤
How’s your back sis?!!! I love the results but my back couldn’t stand it 😂
Haha it really doesn’t hurt me!! I keep the bowl pretty low so I’m in more of a forward fold than 90 degrees :)
THIS I've been looking for this info my entire life 🎉 thank you, stoked to try this
Ahh yay!!! Glad this video found you 💛💛
Can you let me know if you tried this method
@@kathydilorenzo9744 omg yes! IT'S ACTUALLY AWESOME go for it! I definitely will be doing this all the time now. The bowl being lower actually does seem to be easier than the counter, my neck was sore is the only complaint I had lol
@@SophieMarieGraf girl this was amazing! Thank you for your helpful videos!! My curly waves are finally living their best life 🥲
I wish I liked Not Your Mother’s mousse. The results are gorgeous, but my hair always feels gritty and weirdly rubbery whenever I use it.
Youre changing my life btw 💯💯💯💯
💛💛💛
Hi....I love your color' can you give us a tutorial on that... the base color... and hi lights.... 😅prettyplease
Ahh so this is just my hair!! Hair stylists love when you bring in reference photos, so maybe take a screenshot to bring in if you want something similar?! 💛
mu mousse makes my waves defined but it leavs them so crusty and when i press them it's just souds like i'm pressing a peice of glass
I do mine in the same order for this exact reason! Btw, have you ever tried the Curly Magic gel? It’s my favorite to use with the Not Your Mother’s mousse.
Would love to know the products your using.. kind see a product when you wave it quickly. But??
Kinky curly curling custard and not your mothers curl talk mousse ❤
I'm definitely gonna try this!
Gorgeous wavy hair I have ever seen 💕😍😍
the cat is like.... yeah she finally gone completely crazy
Right 😂😂
What gel and mousse do you find works best with this method?
She has them named at the top of the screen when applying: kinky curly gel and not your mother's mousse.

@@SophieMarieGraf why are you using a kinky gel on wavy hair, it says in the name that it’s meant for kinky hair

@@SophieMarieGraf ah sorry, I’ve never heard of the brand before my bad
Gorgeous hair, helps too ! Lol she very pretty lady
How can you keep it looking good next day and days after? I find it looks great that day but the next day looks dirty and frizzy. Any tips?
I wrap with a silk scarf!! A bonnet also works :)

What about leave in conditioner:/ my hair is very dry
Do you refresh your hair in between washes? If so, what do you do?
Love your robe
Do you still use the curl cream? Or just gel and mousse
She has a bunch of videos on her RUclips going into depth about the products and steps for the bowl method
Yes! I very rarely skip the curl cream just since it helps so much with treating smooth clumps :)
Buying both products and tryi going to style my probably-waves
Could I get away with just using the mousse ? Or is the gel a must ?
You can totally use just a mousse!! (Or just a gel!) I layer for extra hold, but I often just use a mousse for a really bit softer look :)
Thanks i didnt think if this
I have to ask, does your floor get all wet?
And how long do you think your process takes you? Start (out of the shower) to finish (changing into clothes 😂)?
Thank you 😊
Will the waves still hold if u diffuse using cold air? I’ve known I’ve had wavy hair for a while now but didn’t know how to care for it until seeing ur channel. I don’t like putting heat on my hair so idk if cold air will still hold the curl
Do you comb your hair out before you flathand press?
So in this video I am applying these after doing the bowl method-but yes, detangle your hair before applying the products!
Do you bowl plop every morning? Or do the curls potential least longer than that?
I do the bowl method every 3-4 days! The waves last until then as long as I wrap with a silk scarf or bonnet at night :)
aw the cat

@SophieMarieGraf awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback! Love your videos.. You are my go-to for curly hair tutorials! ❤️
Do you have any cheap product recommendations? I think i have wavy hair but im not positive so i dont want to spend a ton of money.
You don’t need product to tell if you have wavy hair, if you can’t tell if you have wavy hair you probably don’t
There are videos that show you how to figure out what type of hair you have. Also, some people's hair changes as they age. I had stick straight hair when I was younger and just (I'm 46) realized my hair is wavy now.
Hi kitty!!!! 😺
They love to watch 😂
LGM for the win
Is curl foam the same thing as mousse?
Foam is a bit lighter-so more water! It is also a hold product, but for thicker hair I’ve noticed it doesn’t give me much hold
Never mind i see it now. ;)
Ure cat thinks ure crazy beacuse of the talking to the camera❤😂
Hahaha that AND the bowl probably haha 😂
I would feel so dizzy after that routine. Too much blood in my brain
