I use mousse and gel a lot!! I did it alllll winter! Try this ouidad gel with other mousses like my fav mousse is curls avocado mouse, lotta body foam with the pump, botanika mousse, terra veda mousse and carols daughter mousses. I rotate those every time.
Low porosity hair has a tightly bound cuticle layer, making it difficult for moisture to penetrate (but also difficult for moisture to escape, once it's in your hair.) On the other hand, high porosity hair has gaps and holes in the cuticle, allowing moisture to easily pass in and out
I always thought I had low porosity because I was buying trash items that just didn’t moisturize my hair at all. After I got better stuff I found I get moisture easy but lose it easy too. Knowing your porosity and density is SO MUCH BETTER then finding your curl type tbh.
Here in Virginia the humidity is real so my frizz is on ridiculous levels. I could never get my wash and go to keep longer than 3 days. I started a new regime using Aveeno overnight oat hair mask the night before wash day then after washing it out and doing my deep treatment I use my leave in (either the original As I Am or Treluxe), Camille rose coconut water style setter, a little Uncle Funky curl stimulator gel and the GOAT.....JOHN FRIEDA FRIZZ EASE HAIR TOUCH UP CREAM! (I got a 4 oz sample in the Target beauty box and never tried it!) That ish is the GOAT! My hair was defined, shiny frizz free and MOISTURIZED. I even put my hair in a puff on day 4 and took it down day 5 and still had great hair🙌 I know it's supposed to be for touch ups but I used it on my wet hair while styling...game changer.
wow sis... I love your final results... I've been wanting to try a mousse under a gel for a wash and go but I wasn't sure how it could come out. Yes, my hair texture is different from yours eg. I'm normal to high porosity hair type 4a/b so I was nervous... but seeing how amazing your hair came out I may stop being afraid and bite the bullet and give it a try... thanks for posting!
I always thought high porosity hair dries quickly and low takes forever to dry..have I had it mixed it up all this time??! Lol..your hair came out great though as usual!
i think i know what she meant. with low porosity hair, if the moisture is not worked in the products just sit on top of the hair shaft which means it was never really wet/moisturized to begin with. hence there is no lasting effect. i think maybe her wording was just off.
low porosity means the hair shaft is more closed, so the hair repels more water and therefore doesn’t stay wet very long... this can also differ depending on curl types.
You ever keep doing something, expecting one thing and keep getting the same results? This is me with your videos! 🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. Every single time, when I’m disappointed, I have to remind myself that we do NOT have the same hair. I have beautiful hair it’s just not 3c/4a aka “results may vary” 😂😂😂. Awesome tutorial though. 🥰
Love these kinds of videos! I love trying new combos being that I am a product junkie...I can definitely try this. Thank you for the great videos...your hair is beautiful!😊
Lol "who can relate?!?" Me girl ME!!! I hate wash day for that very reason. But rn I'm trying different wash n go methods cantu jelly and the cream left a white cast that looked gross after it dried. I'm going to try your method.
Love the combo! This is something I always wanted to try but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Do you think it would make a difference if you used gel first and then mousse? Keep doing your thing sis! Your hair journey is beautiful and amazing!
Yes there’s a difference. Whichever is more detangling needs to be applied first, imo. As far as how it looks, it’s very similar but one method is likely to have more elongation than the other. Personally I prefer mousse/setting lotion on top of gel.
Try The Doux mousse. You will love it. It’s a conditioning mousse but I still add a leave in anyway lol. And I use Uncle Funky Daughter gel with it .... ohhh the magic lol
Have you tried Mixed Chicks Leave-in Conditioner? If so, what were your thoughts? Wondering if it would work with the gel and mousse combo as well. Mixed Chicks is what I use and it works great for my hair. Thank you and I love your videos because they have given me a lot of useful information.
I think since were quarantined right now it’s the best time to experiment
Alexa’s Curls 1000%
Definitely seems like medium to high porosity hair if your hair is air drying quickly
what if my hair air dries quickly but right when I'm done washing my hair, I still see water droplets in my hair?
It could be that it's not getting fully wet in the first place 🤷♀️

Yes I would love you to keep doing wash and go cocktails. Because wash and go's are my main hairstyle. I appreciate You! One Love ✌❤
I need to section more...thanks for that reminder. Beautifully defined curls.
Definition is lovely❤❤❤
Amazing curls! Beautiful full volume! I will try that technique one day.

Great results!... Can you do an update on YT to show how it looks throughout the week?
Love both a Gel wash and go and A Mousse wash and go. Happy Sunday have a Great week. 💜🤗🙋🏾♀️

Yisss Queen! More wash n gos! You r stunning, dahling!! Xo
I'd love to see you do gel then mousse n see if there is a difference!
Isn’t fast drying hair a symptom of high porosity hair
Yeah and she has colored hair as well which automatically make it high porosity.
I always thought high porosity hair dries quickly and low takes forever to dry..have I had it mixed it up all this time??! Lol..your hair came out great though as usual!
Jamila Staples, you are correct. High porosity hair dries quickly and low porosity hair takes forever to dry.
yeah I think she definitely had her hair typing mixed up big time, lol. Got to go back to the basics and learn.
i think i know what she meant. with low porosity hair, if the moisture is not worked in the products just sit on top of the hair shaft which means it was never really wet/moisturized to begin with. hence there is no lasting effect. i think maybe her wording was just off.
Exactly
low porosity means the hair shaft is more closed, so the hair repels more water and therefore doesn’t stay wet very long... this can also differ depending on curl types.
final results are amazing!!! i’m definitely trying thissss
Your hair is medium to high porosity if it dries really quick. Low porosity takes a while to dry.
Your brows are beautiful. You should do a skincare or makeup routine I think. i'd love to
Gel and mousse are good together. I haven’t used solely mousse yet though
Curls on fleek!

Beautiful results, I’ll try with a different mousse and gel.
OMG THATS GORGEOUS
Love your hair, it came out super cute.
I'm gonna try to this combo next wash day :)
Plz show how you diffuse your hair. Ty
Can you try mini twists? I love doing this every now and then and I can see it suiting you
Wow it came out amazing!
Love wash & go videos👍🏼
I love this wash in go. I have fine low porosity hair so my hair dries super fast. The struggle.
Love these kinds of videos! I love trying new combos being that I am a product junkie...I can definitely try this. Thank you for the great videos...your hair is beautiful!😊
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!One Love 💕
Lol "who can relate?!?" Me girl ME!!! I hate wash day for that very reason. But rn I'm trying different wash n go methods cantu jelly and the cream left a white cast that looked gross after it dried. I'm going to try your method.

Keep doing your thing sis! Your hair journey is beautiful and amazing!
Gel needs lots of water so I was thinking mousse and then gel on hair washed with shampoo without a leave-in. That’s how I’ll try it.
Yes there’s a difference. Whichever is more detangling needs to be applied first, imo. As far as how it looks, it’s very similar but one method is likely to have more elongation than the other.
Personally I prefer mousse/setting lotion on top of gel.
Yay. I’m so happy this combo worked for you 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Hair Stays Poppin 💕
Love this video. I chopped off my relaxer in April and I can’t wait for October just to see the six month growth again
A demonstration, yeah!
The result 😍
pretty sure u have medium- high porosity hair because your hair is color treated too.
Looking Good! Thanks for this video. One Love ✌❤
Try The Doux mousse. You will love it. It’s a conditioning mousse but I still add a leave in anyway lol. And I use Uncle Funky Daughter gel with it .... ohhh the magic lol

Cherrish Pryor I haven’t tried their products yet!
Love the video. Keep more videos coming.
Very beautiful!
How do you refresh?
I want try a custard and gel together but I haven't seen anyone try it
Ouidad gel are good.
Question Ladies! Do you prefer gel then mousse on top or Mousse THEN GEL? thanks
I think we have the same hair and the same length. I just don't know what to do with it at night.
Where did you get the big bottle of Olaplex no.3?
This is the first time I’ve seen a texture like mine on yt
wowwwww trying this!!
💎
👍🏼👍🏼
2:25 *blows raspberry*
*Purchases all products and hope they work on my hair*😭
It works best for me 🥲 but the gel doesn’t go well with the leave in
