@peculiarzmakeup  this gratis and this thread are great for me because I feel like I am in a bit of a rut hairstyles wise; for years I would always wear my hair in the same few basic styles and didn't really use any styling products. It's awesome to try new things and get new ideas and inspiration!

[peculiarzmakeup]

I can absolutely relate I always wear my hair in a pony tail cause it’s humid here but the volume from these products and seeing everyone’s looks is so helpful 🙂 @caitbird

Thank you for sharing 💞 @peculiarzmakeup How did you feel about this after giving it a try?

I think for me I want to do light applications with it, @gonerogue mentioned something applying it as needed with a clean mascara wand and I think that's genius! 😉

[peculiarzmakeup]

Of course! I did it straight on my hair I think the mascara wand would be neat to try for next use 🙂 @CynthieLu  it felt very waxy though maybe I applied too much

[CynthieLu]

I think it might depend on the look your going for. I don't do many sleek or slicked back styles, so I picture using the wand and taming fly aways as needed is the ticket for me 😉 @peculiarzmakeup

@peculiarzmakeup  Very sophisticated hairstyle. 😍

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that 🙂 💕🎀 @Ispend2much6

Cute style @peculiarzmakeup .  I think this product is a pass for me.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you! That is understandable, the waxed stick feel definitely got me after wearing it for a while. I do like the concept of a sleek stick, I would be interested in something like a leave in conditioner stick one where you apply it when hair is wet and then again when dry, I’m not sure if that is a thing, me on my way to do research 🧐 😁 💕 @CorgiMommy 

[Cissy63]

@peculiarzmakeup  Oh your sleek style turned out great 😊.  This product worked its magic!  

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much 💕🎀 @Cissy63

This style looks cute on you, @peculiarzmakeup ! 🥰  Even though I had a part, after applying the stick, I combed the top back removing my part, then added more stick all over (sides and top).  I didn't think to leave the part and do it like yours.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you! It’s cool to see how everyone does it differently. I appreciate it 💕 @Titian06

Yesterday, I retried the COLOR WOW Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer 6.5 oz / 195 ml .  Since it was Saturday, I did my weekly deep clean using SEPHORA COLLECTION Cleansing Scalp Scrub Jumbo Cleanses + Purifies 13 oz / 400 ml followed by amika Mini Soulfood Nourishing Mask 3.3 oz / 100 ml .  The scalp scrub did an excellent job removing the #Briogeo Style + Treat™ Hair Styling Sleek Stick 0.5 oz / 15 g .  I let my hair air dry around 45 minutes.  I then sectioned my hair and used two pumps for each section.  I didn't any other products.

9:30 AM, immediately after applying product.

 

6:30 PM, after an arduous day of playing with two kittens in front of a fan! 😆

 

8:30 AM today; the frizz is still well under control except for a bit of bed head in the back.  I refreshed with amika Rising Star Volumizing Finishing Spray 5.3 oz / 165 mL around my crown.  I really like the Amika!  Easy to use, lightweight, no scent, and I actually noticed a bit of lift.

@Titian06  your hair looks great! Glad this product is working well for you. It seems to be a winner for many people. I am hoping to try it myself tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your process & feedback! How fun that you got to spend the day playing with the kitties! Sounds like an awesome day to me!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @caitbird ! 💖💖💖

[PrettyPaint]

Your curls look beautiful @Titian06 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @PrettyPaint ! 💞

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 great curls.  Playing with our pets all day is a perfect day to me

[CynthieLu]

I agree, your curls are so beautiful! @Titian06 😍 

A day spent playing with your kittens? That sounds like heaven. 🫶

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CynthieLu ! 💞  The kittens have much more energy than I do.  It does keep them out of too much trouble, and it's very bonding. 🙂
