The Oyin Experience: Product Reviews and New Store!

[HavardiYah]

Every thing sounds great but the video would go over much better with your looking nice.  Because we can't see what you are saying.

[CorbinC7M]

Girl! i have not seen you in a video in a minute! I have to juices and berries leave-in conditioner coming in the mail soon.I am so excited to see what it can do!

[sunkris2930]

Great review! I soooo cannot wait to receive my order in the mail (hopefully any day now...). Oh yeah, Esperanza's music is the best...real music!

[mishsamuels]

Who is the singer at the end of the video?

[queenanala26]

What procducts can be used on locs from oyin handmade???

[mzrayona]

Honestly, the only thing that my locs DIDNT really like was the Shine and Define...although my loctician likes to do my retwists with it (go figure). All of the juices are great, as is the burnt sugar...I use the Honey hemp too.

[soursop]

I'm sold, How do i order this now?

[highfashion86]

You are so amazing! Im in the DMV area and went natural a year and a half ago, im ordering my items now!

Thanks so much!

[SharaNaturalJourney]

im really thinking about using these products when im done transitioning they, i went on the website and they are not expensive at all! :) saw a lot of good comments and they are all hand made woo hoo!

[randb247]

You make this place sound soo exciting. My husband & I are driving down to Savannah next month & I want to coerce him into stopping in Maryland.

[naturalblackpearl]

I live in the DC area so I stop past Oyin and picked up some products for the first time. They gave me a tester of their Honey lotion, which is a new product they haven't began to sale, but this lotion smells soooooo good! I can't wait for them to sale this product.

[ladydonna773]

Hey scandalousbeauty! Have u (or anyone else-feel free 2comment yters lol) tried the burnt sugar pomade? what's the big difference between it&shine&define???

[mzrayona]

I LOVE the burnt sugar. The difference is obvious (once you experience it, of course). The S&D is a thinner product, BS is thicker, closer to a grease consistency. S&D is thinnner, and more of a styling aid.

[mpenny226]

I ordered some whipped pudding from Oyin in March and I did not get it until May due to some wierd happenings. Now...they apologized and sent me some sample products. The mail order experience left me with a bad feeling about Oyin but since I really like the products and they were very apologetic, I will give them another chance. The whipped pudding is a very good deep conditioner.

[alsaxon]

We need one in Atlanta!!

[ladydonna773]

We need one in Chicago 2! lol

[reshon30]

I remember living in Baltimore and i would go do runway practice at a modeling agency on North Charles Street called "Nova Model Management"! Your vid brought back some great memories of that time! But i loved the review because i found Oyin through a comment left on one of my early videos and i ordered it, but didn't use them until i ran out of my usual products. But when i did, OMG!!! I LOVE the whipped pudding and i ordered Frank Juice for the first time. The WP makes my twists and curls pop!

[missladyhott]

I was madd cuz their *ish* takes so long to deliver, but the pics warmed me up again...OYIN!

[Mzblakflower]

You described the vibe in that store sooo well. I am sooo in love with Oyin as well.

[VSPLEEN]

[finemccoy]

[TheSistahChick]

Awesome video!

[AnyasVideos]

Great review, I'm going to check out the website.

[ksmith1x1]

[MalkiaNzinga]

You are so on point for this video! I was debating if the larger sizes would be enough so seeing the actual bottles/containers made my mind up to place my orders and stock-up. I'm in the CHI so no quick visits for me :- ( Keep rocking Love!

Peace and Blessings

[scandalousbeauty]

[Clarinder19]

I finally got my Oyin order today.. all the way to Toronto!! I got Greg Juice and Honey Hemp Conditioner.. I've used the greg juice and its nice (I have relaxed hair).. my mother tried it too and is going nuts about it so I must make another order. Can't wait to try the conditioner!

[sing2angie]

I ordered the HH Conditioner and Juices and Berries last week. A dear friend gave me a bottle of the HH Conditioner and how I'm in love. What other Oyin products do you recommend for a TWA? Thanks

[NaturallyScandalous]

Just about everything I mentioned lol

[IrisChaconA4]

I want to go to the store so very badly, but I'm from New York and I'm not trying to let Greyhound rip me off!

And I love me some Oyin Hair and Body products!

If I can find a cheap bus or van service to get me to B-more, I would definitely go!

[blackbutterfly10]

I'm not natural but I'm going to give these products a shot! I love to keep my hair will conditioned so I'm going to take a trip there this weekend.

Thanks for the review!

[NaturallyScandalous]

Ooh yay! Did you end up going?!

[naturalbornqueen]

The Honey Hemp Conditioner just melts the tangles away. I love that conditioner!

[lykia]

I'm so goin to exittheapple in bmore

Im so glad you used Esperanza i love her music

[SHAWNNA6974]

I just took the ride to the store about a week ago, from Philly. They are very nice people, and I just love their customer service. My girlfriend and I spent alot, but everything was worth it. You are right, people should take this trip it is so worth it. Good and informative vid.

[SHIKA8327]

I just did the BC and I was sooo in need of this. I live in BMORE and this was very helpful! Thanx Erin!

[deanna0384]

i just went to the website and i didnt see the price for shipping do u know what it is and also do u have to have a paypal account or can u pay wit debit/credit

[affinity4tclrpurple]

I want that shirt that says "Conversate is not a word"

[affinity4tclrpurple]

*seethes with jealousy* :-P

Why can't they be in Chicago, WHY??? I so wish I lived at AAFB still. Then I could just leave the base and make a short trip. I will be a customer for life.

Favorite Oyin products:

Whipped Shea in Black Cedar Fig

Honey Hemp Conditioner

Burnt Sugar Pomade

Great company with great products. I just ordered two BSP's. Should've included some HHC. That stuff is sooo good. I recommend them to any natural who asks (and a lot of those who don't lol)

[taibeach]

I was just on nappturality which gave great reviews but yours was the best. I have a 5% coupon but wasn't sure what to try first but now I'm convinced, Hemp conditioner. My hair is always thirsty for moisture. lol Thanks for the review!!:)

[dominichulinda]

Thanks for the info I want some Oyin Products!! <33

[249money]

great video!

[derrider]

I'm feeling that background behind you. It looks relaxing

[jrscandy]

This video convinced me to order from them.  I trust your opinion, you have always been honest with us.

[CremsonFyre]

I didn't know that they had a podcast! Thanks for sharing.  Great review.

[jellycoconut]

Great Review!!!

[atinob43]

You are soooo MegaCool!  Love ya!

[narcotica1411]

I ordered my batch of Oyin products last week, can't wait for them to come in! What are you wearing on your lips in this video, girl? I love the color!

[vivacious1083]

I just ordered that juices & berries. I hope it works as good for me as it does for you. I plan to moisturize my braids with it.

[stayglossy]

I have been meaning to go to the store since it opened but I haven't been in the area on Saturdays. I go to school in the area (Univ of Baltimore) on weekdays. I'd attend a Scandalous Beauty event @ the Oyin store since I'm in Baltimore.

[scandalousbeauty]

Oh yeah girl, right down the street! Literally! Yeah I'm going to try to organize something with them, it could be a lot of fun!

[efuhktual]

i have been using oyins since 2004. i love the Whipping Pudding, the Greg Juice and the Honey Hemp condish.....OHH the Grand Poo Bar. im not natural anymore but i still use it and especially for my daughters hair she has curly long natural hair

[scandalousbeauty]

Ooh a faithful fan!

[bearr7]

stop by to show some love

[sherryjellison]

I just bought the juices and berries... it's okay, and doesn't smell as good.

[agirlandherspider]

I want to buy this for my roomies bday. She has natural and kinky hair but i feel she uses the wrong products that are ruining her hairs potential. I am not afro american and have very loose curls so the products i use dont work for her. :( But wheres the discount? lol

[efuhktual]

buy her their Greg Juice for detangling, it is great for that. the Whipping Pudding will make her hair very song and she should use both of those back to back. Use the Grand Poo Bar to shampoo and the Honey Hemp conditioner afterward. and it has a leave in option. it will work for her

[scandalousbeauty]

Hey! She'll love Oyin. Each discount code is at the end of the podcast on Oyin's blog.

[ladyrose01z]

I just ordered the whipped butter.

[artchick07]

who is the song at the end by? its amazing! i wish i didnt live down south. there isnt a place for artiste people of color in tennessee.

[scandalousbeauty]

Esperanza Spalding.

[ladyrose01z]

I wished you put this video out before I went to the beauty supply, I bought "Organic Natural Hair Care" Lock and Twist Gel. I'm going Natural.

Thanks.

[MangoTacos]

i need to go there!

[richeau]

send me a t shirt please!!! lol i wish i could go there to buy one

[scandalousbeauty]

LOL...Yes, when I get a good paycheck, I'm definitely getting the "Conversate is Not A Word" Tee.  I HATE when people say that! It's a pet peeve of mine!

[mstrinidad2010]

Oh Yes I will be there. As you know I LOVE the laid back spots.

[scandalousbeauty]

Yes! It's very chill, I was feeling it a lot!

[Clarinder19]

i can't wait to try Oyin.

[azurretown]

Wish I had a store near me. Shipping time is very long but I love their products. YES YOU CAN USE ON YOUR LOCS.

[pattielovesgeorge]

actually tasted the juices and berries lol. tastes like juices and berries!

[scandalousbeauty]

LOL that's hilarious!

[kemoja]

What's the name of that song?

[kemoja]

I love Oyin!!!! I love the Honey Hemp Conditioner, Shine & Define & Whipped Pudding. Hopefully I'll be in the area soon so I will have to make a stop.

[xopreciousolivia]

excellent review! I so want to try Oyin Handmade :) mmh? I will!

[scandalousbeauty]

Do! And let us know what you get!

[LovelyNapps]

Can you use these products on locs??

[scandalousbeauty]

I don't see why not!

[muslimmommie]

i want this stuff, seriously!

[scandalousbeauty]

You should definitely try it! You won't regret it!

[nicegurl35]

i cant go natural..my hair is 2 nappy

[txcutemami05]

your hair isnt too nappy, you just have to learn to love it just the way God made it!

[azurretown]

It is not your hair......its your thinking in regards to your hair that is the problem. Your hair, if you would leave it alone and love it will be fine.

Peace!!

[KellyGreene08]

I thought my hair was too nappy to go natural...but that was because my hair was relaxed from an early age.I didnt know how my hair looked. i started growing my hair out (in recent months) just to see what it would be like then I noticed it had a curl pattern to it. So im still doing it..blah blah. But I can see how its not 4 everybody.

[YayazCurlz]

Thanks for the review. I'm in NC I wish I was closer to that store! I loooove the HHC....that is the best conditioner!!! It smells like an orange popsicle, the BSP smells like cookies & I use it to mosturize my scalp, the J&B smells great!!! I love the WP its like chocolate delor!!! Great products for great nappily napptural hair!! I know bc I'm one!!!! Oyin is all that I use!!!Thanks Erin for the beautiful video!!! Keepin it napptural!!!! ~~YaYa~~~ :)
