This weekend I tried the dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Original , but used way too much.  I also tried a bit of the #Briogeo Style + Treat™ Hair Styling Sleek Stick 0.5 oz / 15 g both applying to my hand and then strategically applying to my hair and applying directly to my hair.  (1) I don't wear my hair in slicked back styles so don't see myself using this.  (2)  I didn't like the heavy, waxy feel with either application method.  (3)  My frizz is mostly gray hairs and it didn't seem to help.  Maybe if I applied extremely heavily, which I'm not sure I would like since I didn't like the heavy, waxy feel of the light application.  (4)  I may try again for very targeted spots.

This weekend I used one of the hair band and loved.  Of course with my very fine, thin hair and three twists of the band it was still too loose.  After a couple of hours, it was halfway down my ponytail! 😆  I will carry one in my bag.

I tried the dae again today.  I used amika Normcore Sulfate Free Shampoo 9.2 oz / 275 mL , amika Normcore Hydrating Conditioner 9.2 oz / 275 mL , and amika amika x HairToStay The Wizard Detangling Hair Primer 5 oz / 150 ml .  I air dried my hair to damp while putting on my makeup.  When I was finished, I scrunched in a pea size amount of the dae on my fine, thin wavy hair and then scrunched in a pea size amount of Twist Weather Up Gel by Ouidad.  I followed this with the Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong Finish 10 oz/ 330 mL over all my still slightly damp hair.

My hair at 6:30 AM.

My hair at 5 PM after driving with the windows open until I got to the highway and being out in moderately breezy conditions while running errands.

I'm happy with the hair spray.  It left a bit of crispiness, but not crunchy.  My hair stayed in place and I didn't have to use very much.  I also like the dae now that I used the right amount. 🙂

[Titian06]

Thanks, @cianni ! 💞  I've been trying new (to me) products for the past several months.  This is the best my hair has looked.  This combo for the win! 😄

[PrettyPaint]

@Titian06 Thanks for the detailed reviews. I love your waves. I definitely find that you barely have to use much of the DAE. 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @PrettyPaint ! 💖💖💖  Yea, I found out the hard way, but that's OK!

[caitbird]

Beautiful @Titian06 ! 😍 So glad to hear you found the right amount of the dae to use. I agree. A little bit goes a very long way! Smells so amazing! ( ps love the animal print! )

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Sunnysmom ! 💖🐾💖

[Loretta55]

Your hair looks great @Titian06. I just want my curls to start closer to the roots. Even my hair stylist has trouble getting my hair to curl there.

[Titian06]

I can understand that, @Loretta55 ! 💖💖💖

[Buootiful]

Your hair looks great @Titian06 ! Thank you for the tip about the Dae.

[Titian06]

You're welcome, @Buootiful ! 🙂

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 I am so jealous of your curls

[Titian06]

You are too kind, @CorgiMommy ! 🤗

[CynthieLu]

It really held up! @Titian06 👌

I only used a little large than pea sized amount of Dea when I started my experimenting. Your right, a little goes a long way and is all you need. 💖 

[Titian06]

I was afraid to look in the mirror when I got home, @CynthieLu ! 😄  Now I just have to figure out the best way to sleep...
