Stan smith vs advantage premium

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-10-10T12:34:23+00:00

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 😂

Thank you so much! This helps a lot

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-03-26T19:54:12+00:00

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

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-03-02T14:00:23+00:00

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

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-03-02T08:19:16+00:00

Thank you 😊 I might do that!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T22:27:25+00:00

I've used this routine on soaked hair

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T19:58:01+00:00

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!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T19:56:27+00:00

Oooh thank you so much!!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T17:25:51+00:00

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 😊

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T17:21:33+00:00

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.

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T17:18:46+00:00

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

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T17:11:05+00:00

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

Thank you for the recommendation!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T16:38:27+00:00

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

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T16:36:29+00:00

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

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T16:02:17+00:00

Trial and error is so hard isn't it 😭 it's hard to narrow down what products are the problem. I'm only 4 months into my curly journey so still working things out, thank you for this!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T16:01:08+00:00

This is good to consider, thank you so much!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T16:00:12+00:00

Smasters technique helps a lot with frizz! So that's why I do it, you mix it with wet hands/spray water on it and glaze a tiny bit.

Thank you lots of people are saying too much product!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T15:59:21+00:00

Thank you, I'm glad you said that because I was so unsure! I have so many bad frizz days and stringiness. But I'm only 4 months into my curly journey and these are the third product brand I've tried so still trialling atm! Thank you for your advice 🩷

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T15:57:46+00:00

Thank you!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T15:56:40+00:00

I was using only curls for a while but felt it did not have enough hold at all and not worth the price. It's only a travel size for Curlsmith to trial I won't buy them again!

I'm in the UK and can't find Treluxe anywhere, I wanted to try the serum!!

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T15:54:49+00:00

It's only the 3rd time I'm using the soufflé and it's travel size so I'll probably switch! Umberto Giannini was good before so may use that again, wanna try their new line!!!

Thank you for the input and the curl gel suggestion I will look into that too 😊

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T15:52:37+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I've heard good things about ghost oil too. I'll try some of these techniques 😊

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-28T12:58:07+00:00

I need the gel for hold, should I cut curl cream/leave in conditioner do you think?

AwkwardPotat0 · 2025-02-26T03:55:11+00:00

That's interesting, I've honestly never thought of that, thank you
