Now what....

I tried some new products last night, and I'm not sure what my results mean.
Usually I use mousse, but my favorite has been discontinued ( I think) so I decided to try some gels.
I used Herbal Essence gel...Totally Twisted I believe it's called, raked that through my wet hair while upside down, the scrunched in some LOOB and just let it airdry to see what would happen.
once it was dry I kinda scrunched it to get out the crunch and the curls didn't frizz but they kind of expanded or something...I'm not sure what happened. It looks ok but the curls aren' very well defined I guess.
Did I not use enough? Do I need more hold or another product? I felt like I got a lot of gel in...I've been interestedi n trying Fuzzy Duck..for those of you who have tried these items would FD be more or less hold?

I would suggest trying a change in your routine by putting in plenty of TT gel, and then leave it alone to dry. Go about the rest of your morning, or do some things around the house - SOMETHING that keeps you from looking at, or touching your hair at all until it's dry. Once it's dry, it will hopefully have formed a hard shell, or cast on your hair. THEN take some LOOB on your hands, and go over the top as if you're pulling your hair into a ponytail, and then scrunch it in.
Please excuse any typos. For the time being, we are blaming it on my computer.
I found the LOOB too heavy for me, it weighed my hair down and made it overly clumpy, that being said lots of people love it here and it works great for them.
I love Fuzzy Duck it is one of my favs

I've never tried LOOB that way yet. Hmmm...
I use it in very wet hair under my gel. That might be worth a try too.
