If you’re testing a new gel, don’t change everything at once.

In this clip, I was coaching a client through using Jessicurl for the first time. She usually uses Ouidad, which has more hold. So instead of adjusting her water content too, I told her to keep it consistent—otherwise, she wouldn’t know if it was the gel or the water causing different results.

💡 More water = less hold.
💡 Softer gels like Jessicurl & Ouidad often need more product to form a cast.
💡 Changing too many things at once makes it impossible to know what’s working.

If you're struggling with inconsistent results, this is the kind of real-time feedback and testing strategy we work through inside coaching.
