I have been having fun experimenting with Briogeo Style + Treat™ Yuzu + Plum Oil Hair Styling Sleek Stick 0.5 oz / 15g 

💕

 

The Left is with the Stick and the Right is without.

My hair is very very fine. When I go to the hairdressers the always comment on it's ultra fine diameter. And that I'm very lucky to have a thick head of it. 

I think this product has a difficult time adhering to my ultra fine hair but it really tries. I put my hair into a pony tail in both pictures, but for the Left most picture I used the stick and than a boar bristle brush to brush it in. I think you'd have to zoom in and look hard but it did make a difference holding some of my flyaways down. ( Mainly on top of my head and around my ears where I get the most)

I didn't get overly greasy hair but it was a bit waxy, I felt like I needed to wash my hair the next day.

I still want to practice with this, I have to wear my hair up at work so this I think has the potential to be super helpful.🤞

@CynthieLu  this is such a cute hairstyle on you! I appreciate your thoughts, I am just trying the Briogeo for the first time today so I definitely need to experiment more, but so far I am happy with it.

[PrettyPaint]

Your hair looks so amazing like that @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you so much @PrettyPaint 🥰🥰

[peculiarzmakeup]

Your hair looks beautiful and I’m loving the “potential to be helpful” I really like your perspective on that 🎀 @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you kindly @peculiarzmakeup 💞

It takes me time to figure out the right balance of a product with my ultra fine hair, most things have a learning curve and I am down to go through the trial and error process. The results are usually worth the patience. 😉

When I have patience, sometimes that is a struggle. Lol. 😅

Hi @CynthieLu !  In the left picture your bangs look more in control and closer to your head. That would be from the new product! 😃

[CynthieLu]

They were more behaved 😜 @Cissy63 and that was just with the product left over on my brush from my very light hair application. 

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu your hair looks awesome 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you lovely @CorgiMommy 🥰

@CynthieLu  I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous because your hair looks so cute, and that's a style I'll never be able to wear. 

Your bangs in the picture where you used the stick seem more evenly dispersed; did you use your stick there or was that the result of brushing?

[CynthieLu]

Thank you. @Ispend2much6 I was having a pretty good hair day. 🙏 I think your curls pulled back would be beautiful! 🩷

I used my round boar bristle brush after I applied Briogeo Style + Treat™ Yuzu + Plum Oil Hair Styling Sleek Stick 0.5 oz / 15g to help smooth my hair into a pony, then I used the same brush on my bangs to fluff them, I did get some product transfer onto my bangs.

It gave them a little hold and less fly aways so for the day I was all good with it.

The next morning thou, when I woke up they looked like they needed a washing.

[Titian06]

You look so cute with your hair pulled back, @CynthieLu ! 😘

[CynthieLu]

Thank you so much 💖 @Titian06 I have to wear it up everyday for work so I do like to let it fly free when I can. 😉

Yesterday I tried:

1. dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Original 

2. Kérastase Elixir Ultime Refillable Hydrating Hair Oil 

3. amika Rising Star Hair Volumizing Finishing Spray 5.3 oz / 185 ml 

along with one of my usual faves:

4. OUAI Detangling and Frizz Fighting Leave In Conditioner 4.7 oz/ 140 mL 

I'm happy with the results - my hair felt really soft! I took this pic at the end of the day at a work conference in 105 degree, humid weather - my curls mostly stayed in place:

@Tamara76  your hair looks beautiful! That's impressive that it held up so well after a day with weather like that too! Thank you for sharing!

[Tamara76]

Thank you so much @caitbird ! The humidity here is no joke, but these products have worked like a charm🩷
