i have 2c/3a curls, and i was so disappointed when i first tried this gel as it dried my hair like nothing else, gave me a ton of frizz, next to no definition, and turned my second day hair into a tangled pile of straw. i tried it in every way, with and without different creams and leave-ins and nothing worked. i had pretty much given up hope until a few weeks ago i suddenly had the idea to try it with the cantu define and shine custard. and i couldn't believe what a game changer that was. i apply a small amount of custard on my hair right after a shower, scrunch that in, and then do the same with this gel. i always loved the cantu custard because it really does define and shine lol, it doesn't dry out my hair and leaves a decent cast which i love. the problem with the custard is that it gives me no volume and the hold doesn't really last well into day 2 and 3. BUT WITH THE BOUNCE CURL GEL ON TOP OF IT!! i have volume and hold for days. i actually believe that it's the VP/VA Copolymer that dries out my hair so much, as that's literally what it's supposed to do and i've noticed this effect with other products. layering such products on top of a custard somehow doesn't let it dry out the hair. i'm no chemist of course, but that's my experience.
I Love the Bouncecurl Clump and Define Cream. It makes big clumpy curls with lots of shine and you only need a tiny amount. My favorite shampoo ever is Bouncecurl Clarifying Shampoo. It cleanses very efficiently but leaves the hair very soft and almost conditioned quite crazy for a clarifying shampoo and gives great great volume. You should try them :)
I am confused about the protein overload thing with fine wavy hair...from what I understand flaxseed gel has protein too. I have high porosity fine wavy hair....apparently it requires a lot of protein? How do you know when your hair has had enough protein??? It takes my fine hair hours to dry...I have about the same amount of hair as you but more wavy. So just curious on your thoughts. 🙂😉
I didn’t realise this was a protein gel. My virgin hair is protein sensitive. Then I bleached my hair and it works amazing now. I just wish I knew more about protein sensitivity before I bought this gel. I was ready to throw it away but glad I kept it.
I love, love, love Bounce Curl, especially their enzyme gentle clarifying shampoo, it’s amazing. I experienced protein overload with DevaCurl when I first started my natural hair journey. My hair felt sooo hard and was like hay. I hated it, since I was new to the natural hair community I thought I had ruined my hair. I just started using other products and my hair was “happy” again.
My hair up until about 2 months ago was very protein hungry (I'm 2 yrs jnto cgm) and loved this gel. My hair was like your in that after application it was defined and soft and voluminous. Then 2 months ago I'd mixed this with water and put into a spray bottle and my hair dried crispy and hard. I can no longer use this as it seems to be too much for my hair. I LOVE the smell and love the curl cream smell even more. As it happened yesterday, I'd used a little too much of the curl cream and it left my hair a little heavy. But I spray the hairspray into leave in/Curl cream (one of the best combo's is with boucleme curl cream) and it gives AMAZING volume with a touch more hold! I've done it with 5 of my leave in now and with everyone it's added loads of volume.
Thanks for these suggestions! I just bought this recently so I'm still trying to figure out how to get the best results - I have very similar hair to you so this was very helpful! Very interested in what you said about the hairspray as well - would using this hairspray be your go-to method for protecting your curls from the rain and wind? Where I live, the winters are very windy and it rains or drizzles at least once every day. I've got a bit sick of never having my hair down as a result 😂 How do you protect your hair from the rain and wind?
Your hair looks great. I am really enjoying watching your videos. Very happy to have found your channel. I am interested in that hair net thing you put on when your was wet. I bought a hair net but it was wimpy. Have a wonderful day ♡♡♡
My hair is fine wavy and it’s sensitive to coaching. I can only use bounce curl once in a while usually when I use it I put it in my hair and my hair feels instantly like plastic. It feels horrible I’ve been using ecoslays orange marmalade or Jessicurl Spira licious instead and those work much better for me.
I’ve been trying and trying this gel and I think it’s the protein that is messing me up. I’m realizing that no protein is good in my hair. Would flaxseed gel be the next option?
I'm not sure about the flaxseed....from what I understand it has protein in it too. Saying that my hair loves the flaxseed gel...BUT...keep it in the fridge and I would make it weekly...because my scalp reacted after 10 days from the one batch. So maybe a fresh batch a week???
I found it at my local beauty store. But found 2 hair net that look similar to mine on Amazon. I linked them to my store: www.amazon.com/shop/luisalouis
Hi, love the gel, the smell, the texture, how it defines my curls, but the end of the day my haur dries so much, i think i am protein sensitive, i tried with leave ins but doesn’t work, hope she will do another gel like this low in protein, great video as usual😘❤️
I actually JUST started using these products plus the clump and define cream which is the only product that I have found to bring my ringlet curls out. I’ve been really enjoying this brand! How are you refreshing your hair on day 2? I’ve noticed after a few days my hair will get a tiny bit dry and I think it’s because of how I refresh.
I don't use the same product for day 2. Lately, I've been putting a light gel, like flaxseed or Biotera Gel to tame down the frizz on day 2 and that's it. I usually wash on day 3.
What products recommend for hair that has a ton of waves. I don’t want to make more texture appear and I ptrfer my waves. I am looking for a product that adds shine yet manages my waves only. My hair is wavy through out but curls at the end only and I like that. What do you recommend? No curls please.
My hair is more on the wavy side if I just use a leave in and maybe a few drops of oil. But I also feel like it depends a lot on your styling-method. Airdrying makes my hair more wavy and diffusing gives me more of a 2c - almost 3a look sometimes. Denman brush styling is also giving me more loose curls than waves. I really like it cause I can play with different looks 🤷♀️
I agree with Lina. Your styling technic is what will establish your wave or curl pattern. I think that you should focus on a quick and easy styling technic that will give you the pattern you look for. Again, I agree with Lina on air drying over diffusing for a wavy look. I also think that applying the product on soaked wet hair will help with product distribution and overall shine. You shouldn't scrunch because it will create more defined curls. Just bush your hair while wet with products in and air dry or diffuse without lifting your hair, just hoover the diffuser around your head. I hope that makes sense. As for the product, I think Kinky Curly, Knot Today Leavin is a good option, Rizos Curls, Creme Gel is too, and Bounce Curl Creme Gel for sure. I hope that helps. Good Luck 😉
Hi Luisa! Can u plz make a video on u trying Olaplex? If u haven't heard of it, it's a bond-re-constructor to help repair bonds within the cortex of ur strands. It's almost a miracle-worker! I haven't tried it yet :(, but i would love to see u try it! Thx sm!💗💗
I tried the Bounce Curl gel a couple of times when a friend gave me some to try.... I have fine, high porosity and colour treated hair but this gel doesn't do the job for me. With my Boucleme defining gel (and sometimes Boucleme strong gel) I get far more definition and it lasts far better. The Bounce curl could use some more hold and more definition support in my opinion. (referring to MY hair of course)
@@marielleespinet3159 you mean the curl pattern? It's a mix of 2b, 2c and 3a. And it's very fine, and due to the colouring it's high porosity so it absorbs products and water quickly.
This is my holy grail product. Never experienced build up or protein overload and been using every day for nearly 3 years. Love love love!
Love to hear that. Thanks for sharing!!🙂

@@LuisaLouis thank you for taking the time ♡
So excited to try this! I have a question - would you apply the flaxseed gel before or after you apply the Bounce creme gel?
I would try both ways and see how my hair react to it 😉
My hair is fine wavy and it’s sensitive to coaching. I can only use bounce curl once in a while usually when I use it I put it in my hair and my hair feels instantly like plastic.

Where can I purchase one?😊💕

No Problem Joann. FYI, I found 2 hair net that look similar to mine on Amazon. I linked them to my store: www.amazon.com/shop/luisalouis
Luisa Louis ❤️ thank you 😊
Sounds promising...I want liteweight! Do you use it daily?
No, I alternate with other products, like Kinky Curly or Rizos Curls. 😉
Hair looks great. Wear can I purchase the hair net. Would Love to try it for plopping also. Thank you.👍
Thanks Vicky! I found 2 hair net that looks similar to mine on Amazon. I added them to my store. www.amazon.com/shop/luisalouis

Your tattoos are dope. 👍🏽

Wanted to see this video so badly but once the sweater came off and those nasty tattoos came out off it went. So gross.
