To each his own. Different things work for different people. I love this gel. I noticed however that I get a different look depending on what I put under it. The Almond Jai twisting butter under curl maker gives a more weighed down look. I like the moist feel because my hair tends to dry out with other gels. My hair is always moisturized with this gel. I love the definition I get with Wetline gel but it dries out my hair badly.
Hey love! For some reason this gel makes my hair too moisturized but that could be due to the amount that I used. I just need something to balance my out for me lol. Thanks for watching 💕
I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD A TEN DOLLAR SALE OMG and I have used this on and off for years and never even realized it was glycerin free! This, KCCC and Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic are my top 3 gels, I've got to put this one back into rotation. I know what you mean about the gumminess and that DEFINITELY can happen, so you kind of have to find the right balance when adding this gel to your hair and not add TOO much. PLEASE let us know how this pairs with other gels- I've never thought to try that before!
Khristian Simone Ive been catching the sales for about 3 years now. Go to the website and get on the mailing list. They’ll send you notifications for sales. Usually Christmas and Spring time.
Yes khristian! Get on that mailing list lol. And to get the curl maker you have to be online right when the sale starts. Things sell out fast! But yes I think I used to much but I will play around with and see if I like it. 😊
I do wash n gos in the shower no leave in and I emulsify the the gel in my hands first helps with smoothing without using a lot of product. That has helped me a lot. I once hated wash n gos. I’m hooked now. I like your results your hair looks beautiful
I love big fluffy hair so my favorite combo is the curl love moisture milk + shea moisture (even though they're canceled) curl enhancing smoothie + the curl maker! *chef's kiss* The first time I tried the curl maker, I only used the curl love moisture milk and I had flakes for days!! Looked like a snowstorm whenever my hair moved and hated curl maker. I tried it the second time with the cream and now I love the curl maker!I have 3c/4a, normal porosity, medium strands, and very thick hair.
Hey Gabby! That combo sounds like my hair would never dry 😂. I think I’m too have handed for that. But wow you had flakes? Crazy how products work differently for us lol.
I love curl maker... One of my favorite product to use for wash & go and you can use extreme gel with it works well... The gummy or stickiness is from using too much.. I still love your results thanks for the video.
Dose the curl maker jelly cause flaking in your hair? I used it for the first time with the curl love moisturizer milk and it’s flake city! However, I also topped my hair off with the mousse def texture foam. I’m so frustrated because I literally need to release my hair now. 😭
@@Barnes247 Never have any flaking issues with Camille Rose products.. Maybe the moose product didn't mix well with it. Rub some of the mousse and the Camille Rose products in your hand and see how they mix together, sometimes It will lump up or start looking thick if they don't mix well. Wetline gel works good with Camille Rose and Uncle funky's products.. Hope you give it another try ☺️🙏
I’ve actually been eyeing this Gel and the Lavender Crush Defining Gel with extra hold. After this review I’m for sure going after the Lavender Crush Gel. But I would love to see a battle of the gels!! I remember last video you said your hair wasn’t behaving didyou ever do that protein treatment???
Hey Rita. I’m gonna play around with the gel and see if I’m gonna keep it or give it away lol. I’m doing the protein treatment this week and will def film it! 😊
It’s beautiful! I use uncle funkys topped with wet line. I tried the curl maker once and I got so many flakes I took it straight back! You make me want to try it again with the wet line.
Thank you 😊 Lol wow I keep hearing about flakes which luckily I did not get. But I def will try both the curl maker and UFD with a stronger get go see if I like it or not lol.
Thank you. I may pick them up but it may be in a month. Trying to nurse my hair back to health before I try more new products lol. But I def want to try them out 💕
mlgbunnyx I agree. I apply this in the shower on SOAKING wet hair. Not as gummy and I don’t have to use as much. Just like UFD, you have to figure out how much you need to use to get the desired effect
Your hair definitely looks good to me. I really like the defined curls look but I understand that your preferred look is different. I'm still sticking with the UFD curly magic though because that curl maker pricey. Edit: About the reactivating when wet thing, that's what happens with those types of stylers. Kinky Curly, Uncle Funky's Daughter, etc.. I like it though because it's easy to refresh in between washes.
Thank love 😊. I didn’t have that issue with Kinky curly. I think it’s great when I’m actually refreshing my hair but when I’m working out I don’t like that my hair feels wet and gummy lol.
I like your results girly! I have the curl maker myself. I haven’t tried to use it by itself because the texture kinda reminded me of a custard so I used it and followed up with my gel (Wetline Xtreme) And I agree, I like my wash n gos weighed down as well. Your earrings are cute! 🌈
Hey Nisha I am so sorry you don't like your hair results...I love it! 🥰 I have this gel but haven't used yet. Will have to use it soon to see how I like it.😉
Thanks May 😊. I don’t hate it, it’s just different than my norm but I don’t like what happens when my head gets wet again from sweet. Will def keep experimenting before I get rid of it lol. 💕
NJ, this was a great demo and review. I really liked your results... These products are definitely moisturizing. I used this combo and also added the almond jai twisting butter (for a twistout). We all know - every product/line/brand doesn't work for every texture/curl/strand. #DoYouBoo 😁👍💯🤗
Love it WOG, I watched a few videos of wash n' go but I couldn't identify with them bc my texture wasn't similar..thank you for this andddd I need those earrings, finds grab from your friend!!
OMG! This video came right on time!! I just bought the curl maker yesterday from Walmart. I have never used this product and plan to do a wash n go this weekend. I will definitely use Wetline on top! Thank you so much for the video!
NJ Eberhart UPDATE....flakes and frizz for days!!! This was the first time trying a jelly like styler vs a cream for a wash n go. I always use a cream styler with wetline and my hair turns out great. I'm looking for my receipt to return the Camille Rose because I don't think this is for low porosity hair.
Whew Chile I HAAAAATE this gel. It’s crazy because I love everything else Camille rose and my hair thrives with her products. EXCEPT the curl maker. The first day is bomb, second day my hair is super DRY and it’s just not it sis😩
Hey Reesha! I totally feel you because everything else Camille Rose works wonders for me that I’ve tried. My hair didn’t get dry though. It was actually too moisturized lol. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Thanks love!!! Yes lots of shine but def soft hold. Perfect if that’s the kind of hold you are looking for but I need a little more lol. Excited to pair this with wetline and see what kind of results I get lol.
This is the way I feel like about a lot of gels that are healthier. The moisture is there, the slip is there, the definition is there but the hold is not. And I feel like we’re made to feel bad because we actually want our hair to hold and I feel like thats so normal LOL
Hey Laya! Yeah to me these types of gels I need to layer a stronger gel on top to get the hold I need. Love the moisture but I need something a little more string hold lol. The only clean gel with hold that I love is Jello shot from Ecoslay. Thanks for watching 💕😊
Hey Nisha 👋🏽! Honestly speaking I'm with you, this not my favorite wng either. I would like to see a comparison video with UFD paired with Wetline or Style Factor. I have Curl Maker in my stash and haven't used it yet, and I'm getting nervous because I keep hearing about gumminess and/or flaking.
Hey love!!! I def will do that video. Because I def want to see if I can get a good wash n go otherwise I’ll probably give them away lol. Thanks for watching 💕
I’m so sorry you didn’t like your results..... for my 4C hair I got a better result with soaking wet hair and my hair was super crunchy and defined.... I love your videos!!! Peace and blessings to you! 😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
Kioka Warner-Jackson I agree. Gels like this; UFD, Kinky Curly, are best used on soaking wet hair, preferably in the shower. It’s so easy to use too much when applied outside the shower, which can result in that sticky, gummy feeling. I do find that UFD and Kinky Curly are much more forgiving and easier to work with than Curl Maker.
NJ Eberhart For me, Curl Maker is the most temperamental out of these 3 gels. I got frustrated with getting inconsistent results and pretty much gave up on it.
I love that curl love milk favourite leave in conditioner, I don’t love the gel though it’s too light of a hold. I prefer a gels that clump my curls like the mane choice Egyptian gel because it has the right amount of hold and definition. The only con is the caste You would definitely need to pair the curl Maker with another gel for hold and clumping which just doesn’t make sense based on the price. I haven’t tried the gels from her other lines so maybe they would work better.
I agree. It’s def to light of a a hold for me lol. I’m gonna experiment with it and of course I will def keep y’all updated! Thanks for watching love ❤️
Hey Nisha! Loving your makeup and earrings. I love the results. I have besn natural for 11 years and have never tried a Camille Rose product. I don't do wash and go's so I hardly ever use gel. But I may try a wash n go since I'm not leaving the house in case it comes out looking crazy 😜
Thank you Lakesha! Yes I think now it’s the perfect time to experiment if you are working from home lol. I also think this gel may be pretty good for a twist out. Thanks for watching love 💕
i love it thoughhhh it looks weightless and soft! i used waaaay less that yours for my hair to stop the clumping. 1 pump for each of my six sections does the trick. here's an idea, how about using a defining cream with it?
Hey Quin. If you like a lighter gel with no crunch or like UFD or the curling custard then you may like it. But if you are like me, then you may not like it lol. Thanks for watching 😊
Your hair came out beautiful. Maybe you should do a 2 gel wng and use a heavier gel on top. Haha! You already said that Sadly I don't like this gel. Aloe doesn't agree with my hair and this is no exception. My hair was dry and very frizzy. I basically had an afro for $22
Not an Afro for $22 😭. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I got my fingers crossed that it will work with another gel. I also know I need to use less lol. Thanks for watching Daisy 💕
NJ.. Believe it or not..my longest lasting wng was with curl maker. I tried it for the 1st time in May 2020 and was surprised by my results. The only thing i had to get used to was all the individual curls and no clumpage. I love clumps, but I did love my results..
New sub! Camille Rose Curl maker is life for me! I use it with my wetline or Ecco gel..because I also like a little crunch. I think your wash n go looks cute 😍
Thank you so much for subscribing! 💕. I def plan one trying it with wetline or style factor for sure. Thank you for letting me know you like it with a stronger gel ❤️
I am like you. There more agave in this gel (agave is a humectants like glycerin) , I use than has a leave in tried wash n go with this gel but it does clump my hair. Your wash no go looks good but you can tell it's not going to last. Try it with the tropical moringa glaze. The curlove with wetline is just great too. The curlove is a staple leave in.
It looks really good but I do understand what you mean about that gummy feeling. I don’t like that either. It doesn’t have enough hold for my hair so I layer it under my wetline and I usually like those results.
your makeup looks great! I always think these types of gels should be used without something under them despite what the company says. I never used camille rose but UFD is similar and every time I used something under it my hair felt dirty. Now wearing another gel or a mousse over it is nice.
I think your hair looks great. 🤩🤩🤩 I haven't tried the Curl Maker but I have tried UFD and I loved it. I love to see a side by side. That would help me decide it I want to try the Curl Maker.
Thank you Keisha! Yeah I’m not loving either gel alone but I can see the potential. Will def use them with a stronger gel and see if I like them that way. Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Man by 12:03am when I went to check out all the curl maker was finish. I was so upset cause I always wanted to try this gel 😩. I will wait until black Friday.
I knew you wasnt going to LOVE it. Its not a strong hold and it doesn't have crunch. But it is moisturing. Im type 3 fine strands and I like it. I hate gels lol and a crunch so its cool for me. Maybe try it with another gel. I've seen ppl put wetline on top. If you use a lot in certain places it will feel gooey. If I use it twice like a refresh, my scalp itch and I look like I have lice lol. But it was still cute
Thank you Nina. Yes girl I’m missing the crunch. But I do like the moisture and shine so I will def is it with a stronger hold gel to see. Thanks for watching for watching 💕
Your hair still looks cute. I don't like Camille Rose products at all. Their moisturizers are too thick and dries out my hair. The curl maker for me flakes horribly. It has xanthum gum, and gels with that ingredient always gives me flakes. Your earrings are so cute, and the side part I love on you.
Thanks Rachel. Yeah not all products work for everyone but most of their products work for me. But not too sure about this one yet lol. Thanks for watching love ❤️
It is a different wash n go look from your usual. I like the big hair big volume look on you. Sometimes a different change of pace can be good every now and then (first commenter...sweeet)
Hey Tee! So I think I misspoke. I do like volume as well. I think I just don’t like the piecey look it gives me. I like when my girls are clumped. Also missing that crunch lol. Thanks so much for watching 💕
I've tried this recently too and I didn't like it either much too soft and poofy not enough hold for me I prefer TGIN bomb gel. It feels forever wet and the gel balls up you aren't alone I had the exact same experience. I'll use it on my daughter's hair lol!
Ok so I’m not the only one lol. Yeah it’s weird because I didn’t get the gel balls until I worked out and sweated. So weird. I’ll try it again with a stronger gel and see how I like it lol. Thanks so much 💕
Gosh! You have so much hair! Do you have to wash your hair again to do a new wash n go? Can you refresh it as you need to add moisture? And does glycerin make a difference?
Hey love. I usually don’t have to refresh my wash n go because my normal products that I use last a week (wash day to wash day). Glycerin can make a difference but it all depends on your hair. My hair does ok with glycerin sometimes but not all the time. You just have to experiment and see what works for you.
I thought it was just me. I noticed when I used this gel my hair felt very sticky and gummy. Although this product has no glycerin it seems like this product has some hidden glycerin in it. I also noticed my hair felt really sticky after being out in the humidity and my hair almost felt wet. The curl maker is definitely overrated in my opinion.
It’s so funny how products work differently on people even though the hair texture is similar (my texture is similar to yours). My hair hates Camille rose products. The hair milk dries out my hair and I get residue/flakes with the gel but you didn’t experience that. On the other hand my hair loves UFD but your hair doesn’t...🤷🏽♀️your hair looks really good though and I understand what you mean about it’s not a good wng for you.
We have the same hair! Lol...my hair hates CR curl maker, and I think it's the xanthum gum that causes the flakes. And the moisture milk doesn't moisturize my hair at all. UFD and Kinky curly for the win!
I don't like the curl love either and the curl maker. But its cause my hair doesn't like aloe. I love the coconut water line. You should try the DC, leave in and cream if you haven't. They are my favorite
I experienced the same results when I used it on my daughter, so I know where you are coming from. It was a little disappointing because the I wanted it to work so bad.
Yes I was def disappointed because I had heard so many good things about it. But I will try using less and with a stronger hold gel to see if that works. Thanks for watching Samantha 💕
Lol I know you said this about UFD. They do take a long time to dry but I’m convinced I’m using too much. Will experiment and see! Thanks for watching love 💕
Would you use this as a topper on a twist out? I bought this and haven't used it yet. We have the same hair type and texture so I'm sure my results would look the same. I think it's better suited for looser curl patterns.
Hey Olivia! I think so too. Most that love it I notice are more on the curly side rather than kinky curly side. I’ll keep experimenting before I decide to give up on it lol. Thanks for watching 😊💕
I completely understand get it, some gels separate my curls and give me that fluffy but tight wash in go look. I definitely prefer crunch and my curls to be weigh down. I would love to see you pair it with a stronger gel, hopefully you like the outcome🤞🏽
I don't like the curl Maker at all it flaked in my hair and there are flakes every place I'm having such a hard time to get it out I'm gonna take it back and never use it again
Hey love 💕. I can only use curl maker when I use a firm hold gel on top like Wetline. That combo is bomb. I never use it alone so I understand lol. Thanks for watching 😊
Yeah it’s not your best wash and go. It looks frizzy to me. Yeah do that gel mix with both curl maker and uncle Funky’s daughter with the Wetline gel. Sounds good, sounds good. Curl Maker gave my curls a different look. It’s like I had a different curl pattern and my curls were more shrunken and softer. It wasn’t a favorite for me either, but I love Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic. Different strokes.
Yes this gel is not cheap which is why I waited for the sale. I missed the clumpage but I’m hoping I can fix that with wetline! Thanks for watching Shanta 💕
To each his own. Different things work for different people. I love this gel. I noticed however that I get a different look depending on what I put under it. The Almond Jai twisting butter under curl maker gives a more weighed down look. I like the moist feel because my hair tends to dry out with other gels. My hair is always moisturized with this gel. I love the definition I get with Wetline gel but it dries out my hair badly.

These products are definitely moisturizing. I used this combo and also added the almond jai twisting butter (for a twistout).
We all know - every product/line/brand doesn't work for every texture/curl/strand.
#DoYouBoo 😁👍💯🤗
Thank you Healy! I’m def going to experiment one more time so we will see lol.

Oh no!!!! That sucks! Thanks for the update!
I didn’t like this gel whatsoever. It’s up there with UFD for me.
Yeah I got similar results as the UFD. Def not a fan but maybe wetline will help lol

Y'all should definitely try adding a little Wetline on top! I love that combo, been doing it for the past 3 weeks.

Thank you Lakesha! Yes I think now it’s the perfect time to experiment if you are working from home lol. I also think this gel may be pretty good for a twist out. Thanks for watching love 💕
i love it thoughhhh it looks weightless and soft! i used waaaay less that yours for my hair to stop the clumping. 1 pump for each of my six sections does the trick. here's an idea, how about using a defining cream with it?
I use camille rose aloe whipped butter gel and a dab of ouidad heat and humidity gel with this gel.... bomb results.
Thanks love! I think I def used too much. Might play with pairings for this gel! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this experience! I still haven’t bought this..I m on the fence!
Hey Quin. If you like a lighter gel with no crunch or like UFD or the curling custard then you may like it. But if you are like me, then you may not like it lol. Thanks for watching 😊
Your hair came out beautiful. Maybe you should do a 2 gel wng and use a heavier gel on top. Haha! You already said that
Sadly I don't like this gel. Aloe doesn't agree with my hair and this is no exception. My hair was dry and very frizzy. I basically had an afro for $22
Not an Afro for $22 😭. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I got my fingers crossed that it will work with another gel. I also know I need to use less lol. Thanks for watching Daisy 💕
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆
End results look nice, Beautiful
Aww thank you so much 😊💕
Curl maker with wet line on top is great!
Thank you!!! I’m excited to try that combo out 💕
This, the mane choice gelato and the garnier fructis curl treat jelly are my staple gels!
Hey love! I love the cheers gelato! I need to play around with this gel more to see if I will keep using it lol. Thanks for watching 💕
Curl maker is one of my favs for wash and go!
Hey love! I think I need to use less and pair it with a stronger gel. I didn’t really get the hold that I prefer. Thanks for watching 😊
NJ.. Believe it or not..my longest lasting wng was with curl maker. I tried it for the 1st time in May 2020 and was surprised by my results. The only thing i had to get used to was all the individual curls and no clumpage. I love clumps, but I did love my results..
Hey Melanie. Yes I think it’s the clumpage I am missing lol. I will keep experimenting and see what happens. Thanks for watching love 💗
New sub! Camille Rose Curl maker is life for me! I use it with my wetline or Ecco gel..because I also like a little crunch. I think your wash n go looks cute 😍
Thank you so much for subscribing! 💕. I def plan one trying it with wetline or style factor for sure. Thank you for letting me know you like it with a stronger gel ❤️
My fave combo is curl love + curl maker + wetline 😍 because I like clumped curls too
Yesss!!!! I will def try that combo out! Thanks Ashley 💕
I am like you. There more agave in this gel (agave is a humectants like glycerin) , I use than has a leave in tried wash n go with this gel but it does clump my hair. Your wash no go looks good but you can tell it's not going to last. Try it with the tropical moringa glaze.
The curlove with wetline is just great too. The curlove is a staple leave in.
Hey love!!! Yes curl love is a staple for me. I did think about the tropical moringa gel but I might try that combo out. Thanks love 😊
I luv it. I understand your feelings. The gel don’t work well with my thin strands.😂
Thank you Tasha! Yes it’s not my fav. But I’m going to experiment more before I say no to this product lol. Thanks for watching 💕
It looks really good but I do understand what you mean about that gummy feeling. I don’t like that either.
It doesn’t have enough hold for my hair so I layer it under my wetline and I usually like those results.
Hey love! You are reading my mind. Actually just tried that combo and got a video coming out soon on it ❤️
your makeup looks great! I always think these types of gels should be used without something under them despite what the company says. I never used camille rose but UFD is similar and every time I used something under it my hair felt dirty. Now wearing another gel or a mousse over it is nice.
Thank love! Yeah when I used a leave in under UFD my hair was way too moisturized. We will see how those gels pair with wetline. 😊
Your hair looks so beautiful. 🙂
Thank you Patricia 💕. It’s not a terrible wash n go, just not my norm lol.
I think your hair looks great. 🤩🤩🤩 I haven't tried the Curl Maker but I have tried UFD and I loved it. I love to see a side by side. That would help me decide it I want to try the Curl Maker.
Thank you Keisha! Yeah I’m not loving either gel alone but I can see the potential. Will def use them with a stronger gel and see if I like them that way. Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Man by 12:03am when I went to check out all the curl maker was finish. I was so upset cause I always wanted to try this gel 😩. I will wait until black Friday.
Oh no!!! Sorry Felicia. I hope you get your hands on it during Black Friday! 💕
You look amazing 😭😭💜💜💜
Aww thank you Sabrina💕
I knew you wasnt going to LOVE it. Its not a strong hold and it doesn't have crunch. But it is moisturing. Im type 3 fine strands and I like it. I hate gels lol and a crunch so its cool for me. Maybe try it with another gel. I've seen ppl put wetline on top. If you use a lot in certain places it will feel gooey. If I use it twice like a refresh, my scalp itch and I look like I have lice lol. But it was still cute
Thank you Nina. Yes girl I’m missing the crunch. But I do like the moisture and shine so I will def is it with a stronger hold gel to see. Thanks for watching for watching 💕
The CM is bae for me!!!! But I do understand...Everything don't work for everyone...I learned that the hard way!!! Btw ur hair is cute...😍😍😍
Aww thank you Latasha! I am going to try this again with wetline and see how that goes!
@@NJEberhart yes try it again with the wetline cause sometimes I have to do that!!!! Good luck!!!!
Sorry for the third comment lol. Yes to the comparison of the two gels with WetLine on top.
Yes I will def be trying out those combos in a video to come 💕
Your hair still looks cute. I don't like Camille Rose products at all. Their moisturizers are too thick and dries out my hair. The curl maker for me flakes horribly. It has xanthum gum, and gels with that ingredient always gives me flakes. Your earrings are so cute, and the side part I love on you.
Thanks Rachel. Yeah not all products work for everyone but most of their products work for me. But not too sure about this one yet lol. Thanks for watching love ❤️
It is a different wash n go look from your usual. I like the big hair big volume look on you. Sometimes a different change of pace can be good every now and then (first commenter...sweeet)
Hey Tee! So I think I misspoke. I do like volume as well. I think I just don’t like the piecey look it gives me. I like when my girls are clumped. Also missing that crunch lol. Thanks so much for watching 💕
I've tried this recently too and I didn't like it either much too soft and poofy not enough hold for me I prefer TGIN bomb gel. It feels forever wet and the gel balls up you aren't alone I had the exact same experience. I'll use it on my daughter's hair lol!
Ok so I’m not the only one lol. Yeah it’s weird because I didn’t get the gel balls until I worked out and sweated. So weird. I’ll try it again with a stronger gel and see how I like it lol. Thanks so much 💕
I agree with you and my hair was so puffy and had a lot of flakes😔😏not happy I have 4c hair and it’s a no for me
Hey Dominique 🤗. So I actually like it underneath wetline gel and also for a twist out on top of a cream. Try that out and see it if it works for you!
Your hair looks great I love it and I am surprised you don't like it.
Thank you 😊. I think it’s just not the wash n go that I’m use to lol.
Your hair looks really nice .
Thank you so much love 💕
I tried UFD curly magic with curl love and I was not a fan. Interesting enough my wash n go kind of came out like your results with this combo.
To me UFD and this curl maker work the same in my hair. Too moisturized and my hair feels gummy. I could be using too much.
Gosh! You have so much hair! Do you have to wash your hair again to do a new wash n go? Can you refresh it as you need to add moisture? And does glycerin make a difference?
Hey love. I usually don’t have to refresh my wash n go because my normal products that I use last a week (wash day to wash day). Glycerin can make a difference but it all depends on your hair. My hair does ok with glycerin sometimes but not all the time. You just have to experiment and see what works for you.
At least it didn’t flake for you 🤣🤣🤣
It took so many tries to get this to work for me back in the day!!!
Yeah I keep hearing that people got flake. Luckily that did not happen but still not my fav gel lol.
Please do a video on the Doux’s new Big Poppa gel.
Hey Symone! I didn’t even know that they had a gel lol. I will look into it. Thank you 😊 💕
You’re hair looks so beautiful though 😭
Awww thank you so much. I think it’s different from my norm which is throwing me off lol. And I need that crunch lol. Thanks for watching 💕
NJ Eberhart of course and I get it lol
What lipstick are you wearing? The side part suits you!
Thank you! I tried to find the lipstick for you but I don’t thinks Nars sells this color anymore. It was one of their audacious lipsticks.
@@NJEberhart thanks. I will browse their selection.
Still haven't tried it myself 🤷🏽♀️
I think if you have kinky curly hair like me you don’t need to rush out and try it lol. Thanks for watching love 😊💗
I thought it was just me. I noticed when I used this gel my hair felt very sticky and gummy. Although this product has no glycerin it seems like this product has some hidden glycerin in it. I also noticed my hair felt really sticky after being out in the humidity and my hair almost felt wet. The curl maker is definitely overrated in my opinion.
Agree
Yes my hair felt sticky and gummy. I think I may have used too much but we will see. Maybe it will work with wetline. Thanks for watching Tara 💕
It's probably the marshmallow extract in it. My friend's hair did the same thing.
SAME!! And I tried it with several different combos
It’s so funny how products work differently on people even though the hair texture is similar (my texture is similar to yours). My hair hates Camille rose products. The hair milk dries out my hair and I get residue/flakes with the gel but you didn’t experience that. On the other hand my hair loves UFD but your hair doesn’t...🤷🏽♀️your hair looks really good though and I understand what you mean about it’s not a good wng for you.
We have the same hair! Lol...my hair hates CR curl maker, and I think it's the xanthum gum that causes the flakes. And the moisture milk doesn't moisturize my hair at all. UFD and Kinky curly for the win!
I don't like the curl love either and the curl maker. But its cause my hair doesn't like aloe. I love the coconut water line. You should try the DC, leave in and cream if you haven't. They are my favorite
Yes so interesting how our hair works lol. Thanks so much for watching Artesa! 💕
Rachel M. Hair twins!!🙌🏽
Daisy Flower thank you...I’ll try that!
I like this one been a long time since I’ve used it though few years probably. I like buying bigger product sizes all they offer is this one size
Hey Raquel 💕. For the price the def need to make it in a bigger size lol.
I do not like curl Maker because it makes my hair too CRUNCHY. I love Uncle Funkys Curly Magic though. You should try Mane Krush Kurltini
Oh wow it makes your hair too crunchy. I got no crunch at all. Crazy how products work so differently for everyone. Thanks for watching 💕
I am interested in seeing how this gel pairs with Wetline to see if it clumps better
Hey Audrey! Def will have the video coming up 😊
I experienced the same results when I used it on my daughter, so I know where you are coming from. It was a little disappointing because the I wanted it to work so bad.
Yes I was def disappointed because I had heard so many good things about it. But I will try using less and with a stronger hold gel to see if that works. Thanks for watching Samantha 💕
Yeah definitely combine with wetline
I will and hopefully I will like it better! Thanks for the tip Cassie 💕
I think curl maker is just okay too 😂 glad its not just me.
Yeah it’s the product 😂. I’m gonna give it one more chance and then after that I’m gonna give it away lol.
Yep curl maker and uncle funkys never drys for me.. takes forever
Lol I know you said this about UFD. They do take a long time to dry but I’m convinced I’m using too much. Will experiment and see! Thanks for watching love 💕
Chileee how I hate that gel 😭 my hair NEVER dries and feels gummy as hell with this on
Lol I know your pain but I’m hoping wetline will fix it! Thanks for watching love 💕
Lmao, I had an alarm set as well with everything in my cart😭😭
Lol we had to sis! Playing no games 😂
Would you use this as a topper on a twist out? I bought this and haven't used it yet. We have the same hair type and texture so I'm sure my results would look the same. I think it's better suited for looser curl patterns.
Hey Olivia! I think so too. Most that love it I notice are more on the curly side rather than kinky curly side. I’ll keep experimenting before I decide to give up on it lol. Thanks for watching 😊💕
I brought 2 when I brought mines months ago and I'm still on the first bottle 😩
Hey Anntonette. You are still doing better than me lol. This is my first time using it lol.
I havent tried that gel in a while. I'm mad I missed that $10 sale LOL
It was a while for me too. But the sale is in the spring time. Def sign up for their emails! I hope that helps 💕
Your hair looked beautiful. I think you missed the clumping of your curls
Thank you Eva 😊❤️. Yes I love my curls clumped so I was def missing that lol.
Does Camille rose only do the sale once a year? I want to try this gel and so many other of her products. The only one I have is curl love.
This gel reactivates like kinky curly does when I work out then interesting. It helps it last longer though.
Hey love. Yes to my knowledge they only have the $10 sale in the spring. They do have Black Friday which is normally 30% off I think.
I love the side part!!! 😍😍 It says “sexy” and “mature” 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks Zanarda 😊💕
We have the same last name 🥺🥺 I thought the day would never come!
Nice! Is it spelled the same way? I know some families put a “d” in it lol.
You have to use a gel with the curl maker because it's a curl definer
Thanks Kathy. I think I def will use it with wetline or style factor.
I completely understand get it, some gels separate my curls and give me that fluffy but tight wash in go look. I definitely prefer crunch and my curls to be weigh down. I would love to see you pair it with a stronger gel, hopefully you like the outcome🤞🏽
Yes!! We like the same type of wash n go for sure lol. It will def try this and UFD with a stronger gel. Thanks for watching love ❤️
I’ve tried her gel twice and I flaked 2 days later. I just couldn’t figure out the right combo
Oh no!!! Yeah flaking is a no no. It didn’t flake on my this time lol. Thanks for watching Tina 💕
It looks good
Thank you so much love 💕 😊
I didn’t like this either. I prefer diy flaxseed-aloe vera gel. I’m gonna pour this out and save the bottle for my diy formula
I feel you! But Idk if I would pour it out even thought I only paid $10 compared to the original price lol. Thanks for watching 💕
Yeah I’m not a fan either. I definitely prefer kinky curly if I want a super “natural” gel. It has more hold and lasts in the summer.
Hey Shelby! I agree! Kinky curly is bae for me. Thanks so much for watching 💕
looks good
Thank you Jamie 💕
I can say this isn’t my favorite gel I tried it last week and I ended up using wet line on top and that kinda helped but it still wasn’t my usual
Dang wetline didn’t even help much?? 😩😩😩. Well I’ll try it out and see what happens lol. Thanks for letting me know Gelisa 💕
Looks good though!
Aww thank you Suzette 💕💕💕
What kind of hooded dryer do you use?
Hey Tia. I got mine from Sally’s. It’s by Gold N Hot I think. It’s not the best but it gets the job done lol
I don't like the curl Maker at all it flaked in my hair and there are flakes every place I'm having such a hard time to get it out I'm gonna take it back and never use it again
Hey love 💕. I can only use curl maker when I use a firm hold gel on top like Wetline. That combo is bomb. I never use it alone so I understand lol. Thanks for watching 😊
Another gel in my stash that I haven’t touched yet 🤦🏽♀️
Girl I have sooo many products in my stash I still need to open lol.
Do you stretch on wet hair?
Hey love. No I don’t. I stretch when my hair is 90% to 100% dry. I hope that helps!
Yeah it’s not your best wash and go. It looks frizzy to me. Yeah do that gel
mix with both curl maker and uncle Funky’s daughter with the Wetline gel. Sounds good, sounds good. Curl Maker gave my curls a different look. It’s like I had a different curl pattern and my curls were more shrunken and softer. It wasn’t a favorite for me either, but I love Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic. Different strokes.
Hey Diane. Yeah UFD and curl maker have me similar results but I am def going to try them out again with a stronger gel. Of course I will film it! 😊
I wish I would have paid 10 for mines 😩 I paid 21 at Target and I do not like it at all, I like my hair clumped.
Yes this gel is not cheap which is why I waited for the sale. I missed the clumpage but I’m hoping I can fix that with wetline! Thanks for watching Shanta 💕
I thought it look great!
Thank you Karen 😊
I also don't see a point in layering stylers if one works by itself.
That’s the issue. It does not work by itself in my opinion. To each their own but I will continue to layer mine lol.
@@NJEberhart Oh I meant if your wetline works by itself. I thought it did. I'm sorry if I was mistaken. Just didn't want you wasting your products.
