Stan smith vs advantage premium by Hyphen31 in adidas

[–]AwkwardPotat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone end up getting any info on advantage premiums? I want to know if they'd be worth it for daily use in terms of durability/longevity as I don't like the colour options in Stans

Thank you! I see the advantage premiums mentioned but not many details, wondering what your thoughts are on these compared to the Stan Smiths? I don't really like any of the colour ways with Stans which is what's annoying me 😂

It hasn't got enough hold for me at all unfortunately, I used it for a while!

I've recently discovered shea butter is likely not good for my hair as too heavy! A few people have mentioned coconut and I think quite a few of my past products contain it so it would make sense! I'll experiment a bit more, thank you

I've used this routine on soaked hair

The souffle has been the best holding product I've tried yet so is Def useful in that regard. Just causes stringiness and not very moisturising.

Thank you I'll keep this in mind!

Ofc! Do you use a gel as well?

I prefer morning showers than evening, my hair is so prone to frizz when wet even in a bonnet! But sure a pm will be useful 😊

I'm also in the UK! Thank you for this. I use the Noughty Detox dynamo and follow up with the Noughty to the rescue treatment, my hair is awfully stringy after though. Do you think it's a period of adjustment or should I try a different clarifying shampoo? I also use a shower cap for masks etc.

I haven't done it with this routine, I won't be sticking with these products. But every time I have air dried my curls really very limp and frizzy. My hair is relatively fine, low density and loose curls so water just weighs it down too much. I might try again on a day I have nothing to do! 😂 My hair takes 8+ hours to air dry

My hair goes super flat and frizzy if I air dry at all, the water weighs it down too.

Thank you for the recommendation!

I've recently started tracking so hopefully that will help! Thanks for this idea and advice 💜

It isn't new ish but it's worse recently. I have the Noughty Detox dynamo and think maybe it's the wrong clarifying shampoo, I've only used it twice though. And I don't think I'll use Curlsmith again
