    I prefer the mousse side. Love that volume and fluffiness!

      Martha thank you love! the volume definitely gave me life 🤪

    • @kearstenw3855
      @kearstenw3855 3 года назад +8

      I agree because I have low porosity and low density hair so the mouse really gives me lots of body and fluffiness to my twist outs!

    I'm 61 years old-school. I love the mousse side. I prefer natural shine and sheen of my hair and the natural looking soft, bouncy curls I get with foam. I also use it to refresh. I personally don't care for the fake "wet" looking shine of gel, I don't care for the crunchy cast, plus gel weighs down my 3c, fine, low density, low porosity hair. Glad to see some of you "youngsters" might be hopping on the mousse wagon. ;)

  • @efhawkins19
    @efhawkins19 3 года назад +14

    They both look good. It’s good to know the curls can be defined using another curl product. I must give the mousse a try. Great video.

  • @bklynbutters13
    @bklynbutters13 4 года назад +22

    The mousse side is litty!! I'd use a different gel for a real comparison because KCC always makes ppl's hair look a little jheri curlish.

      @J.Ilene. 4 года назад +3

      What mousse do you use. I'm going to journey into the wash and go realm and I'm a fine hair girl as well. Also most gels make my scalp itch and I would like to avoid it as much as possible.

  • @xy11xy
    @xy11xy 4 года назад +15

    Maybe you could try stronger mousse, you know the ones with the shaving cream dispenser? These new "foams" I see on the market don't foam up very much. There's one called Sebastian Mousse Forte which is a strong hold mousse that has a thick foam when it's dispensed, if you want a crunchier hold.

  • @Angela-pg6wn
    @Angela-pg6wn 4 года назад +2

    Love this video! And I LOVE the mousse side, I love how voluminous it is! BUT i totally get liking the shine on the gel side, I also personally like gel and a little crunch. But I feel like maybe you could get a shine spray of some sort to put on the mousse side so that way you have the volume and the shine! Plus adding in that moisture :-)

  • @iloveGod1105
    @iloveGod1105 2 года назад +3

    Thank you so so much for this video. I go to a professional once or twice a yr (been natural for 4 years) and she said she's noticed my porosity change and my hair becoming dryer over time. We think it's the gel from all the wash and gos over 4 yrs. I need a gel alternative so now trying the mousse!!! I want to use creams underneath for more moisture but I am hoping this is the solution.

  • @jordankeenan5239
    @jordankeenan5239 4 года назад +7

    The mousse side is definitely better and curls are way more defined and is more natural than the gel side

      @bellamb7313 3 года назад +2

      @Freebird-1122 3 года назад +2

      @@bellamb7313 lol. lately, I’ve been using Uncle Funky’s Daughter curling gel. Bc it keeps it so hydrated, I can just refresh with water and a little more gel if I need more definition.

      @prissycurls670 3 года назад +1

      Kelsey T ok, I’ve never tried that brand of mousse. I’ve been using a mousse by the brand Synergi and it’s lovely. Leaves hair soft, moisturized and with crazy definition.

    • @KLT828
      @KLT828 3 года назад

      Prissy Curls ooooh never heard of that one. I may have to try that one after I use up my design essentials to compare. 😌 I think a lot of them on the market are pretty much leaving the hair moisturized and defined. I use to use the Mielle Organics mousse and it was pretty good also.

  • @daisyflower1545
    @daisyflower1545 4 года назад +1

    I'm a gel girl cause I get more hold and definition and it lasts longer but the volume on the mousse side is amazing. I usually stretch my wash n gos to get volume.

  • @kapparhotau181
    @kapparhotau181 4 года назад +10

    Gel dries the hell out of my hair and shrinks my hair like crazy, it also makes my curls super small but it last longer than mousse. But I'm felling that day 1 mousse. In about 3 days it will be frizz central with the mousse

    • @thelovedoneinternational3213
      @thelovedoneinternational3213 3 года назад +1

      So gel is then the cause that could dry your hair out and also cause the curls to dry up smaller? I think I have this also..

  • @dominiquedevereux7205
    @dominiquedevereux7205 2 года назад +1

    Maybe use the "Knot Today" detangler from Kinky Curly as a leave-in instead of the curling custard (since it is basically just a lightweight version of the custard) & follow with the mousse & see if that gives you the moisture the botanica gel provides with the fluffiness/volume of the mousse 🤷🏾‍♂️??
