@DVAntDany have you tried UFD by itself? I found that gave me volume and definition. It may have been because I didn’t use a lot, but I found it comparable to a foam set.
I also got soft voluminous sets with Briogeo curl charisma chia + flax seed coil custard.
Have fun on your product search! I’ve gotten lazy and just decided to take what my hair gives me. I don’t have the energy to wash 2x a week anymore unless the 2nd wash is for a bun.
Thanks for the suggestion. I used it by itself for a couple months and I wasn’t really a fan. It has no slip on its own. Once i paired it with ICH and PS, the game changed.
I guess it’s time to finally give Brigeo custard a try. I haven’t tried too many products with higher listed proteins yet. So this is the only reason I haven’t jumped on it already. I’ve been thinking about it ever since you mentioned throwing it away. I see it every time I stop at Ulta.
Im not going to lie, I am being picky with this. I want to feel like I have nothing in my hair. That’s what I mean by soft. All the gels that give me shine and definition feel like soft plastic. You could say stiff Toyokalon. It’s like a baby doll being made of soft touch vinyl. While soft, it doesn’t feel like real skin softness.
I have 3 liters of UFD. So I see it’s value and plan on using it. I feel the same way about mousse especially the ones geared towards curly textures. Neither usually feel like real hair, but they set the style nicely. There is a cast and I understand its necessity. I’m not looking for longevity with this.
If Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls or Multicultural Curls actually encouraged my curl definition, I would have ended my search a while ago. Pattern Beauty Curl Gel is getting me closer. I just need my curl definition cranked up by a few more notches and I’d be satisfied.
