Yay for us cotton heads! My hair does clump on its own though when it's wet though. But i think you're the closet person I've found to my hair texture on YT! Thank goodness.
this product did really well on your hair. I have 3c/4a hai...look at my hair journey video and you can see what I am talking about. Do you think this will work on my hair??? I loooove how this made your curls look!!! Pretty!!! :)
can you please try using unrefined whipped shea butter for a wash and go? i looked it up on google, but i found nothing. I want to try it, and see if anyone else has ever tried it. I can't afford products.
@xxmuzicchickxx She butter does not define a single curl in my hair at all, believe me when I tell you. It will just look like my afro with no curl. For someone that has a silkier texture, she butter may work but on my hair it is a no no.
@CoilsKinksCurls thanks for your thought on it! I'm thinking it might work for my hair because I have no curl pattern anyways. lol I have frizzy waves most similar to 4a hair. I am looking more for hold than for curl definition. I have never done a wash and go before. have you ever tried using flax seed gel?
Hi. I like your video. The front and the back of my hair is defined already without much help. Clumping pattern is not consistent either. Nice to hear someone else with the same experience. You also convinced me to give Darcy's Coil product a shot.
I love dary's botanicals. My hair is 4a w/ some 3c parts. I have purchased every natural line out and I would like somethings in the line but not all of the items. When Dary Botanical's had the Black Friday sale right after Thanksgiving 2009 I purchased everythng full size containers and I didn't even spend $80.00. Everything I've tried in this product line works on my hair. I love the amount of product you get for your money also w/ Darcy's. Also, the packaging is so cute!
Yay for the folks w/ cottony hair! :) My hair is so undefined (wiry, puffy, cottony...I like that term) that I thought wash 'n gos were unachievable for me. I'll have to give this a try. Great style and good video!
Normally, I can't tell how soft someone's hair is by looking at it but your hair looks superrrrrr soft after it dried. Awesome curl definition! Great video!
Your wet hair is just like mine! Alot of women have hair like this that doesn't automatically clump, and they think they don't have a curl pattern...I didn't know about mine until a year ago
ok ..have to take back what I said to you about the natyral coils curling jelly...tried it on the weekend again and the curls were popping....was a little crunchy but spritzed with some greg juice and it was ok... love the leave in conditioners will be keeping those!!! keep on with the reviews ...
Thanks for the review!!!!! Question? would you recommend the darcy's leave in conditioner for the condition only method? I like the condition only method and want a leave in that is good for the hair and meant to be left in.
It is a light conditioner but if you have a silkier texture then this could probably work for you. If your hair is really kinky like mine then your going to need a conditioner that is heavier. I would say try it because you may like it.
As A DB girl, I've found the Leave-In is great for moisturizing softness and detangling, but does ZIP for coil definition. I use the Transitioning cream under the Coil Jelly for max definition.
It doesn't define curls on my hair either but on my daughters hair is is amazing for curl definition. She has a silkier texture so it works great! I haven't tried the transitioning cream, gotta try that!! Thanks
The conditioner should soften the coils but as far as loosening up the coils, probably not since it is very light. You will need something heavier to weight the hair down a little.
lol, I just got my Afro Veda in the mail. I went to Whole foods 2 week ago. LOL!! I go to the salon tmrw still trying to decide if I let it grow out...or cut the remaining perm off. But I love her!!!! She makes it seem so doable!
It still blows my mind what product can do. My hair is like a mixture of 4a and 4b and it's very very dense. Not to mention that I butchered my hair a totally of three times while attempting to trim. So you can only imagine how raggedy it looks without product. When I add product and brush my hair with my denman, my hair is turned into a mass or perfectly formed spirals, from teeny tiny pen spring sized coils to a little bigger. It just looks like two totally different heads of hair.
You have convinced me. I dont like gel in my hair either. I think I am gonna give it a try. If I had to guess, my hair type is 3c in the top and 4a around the sides. How many days did this last?
based on Andre's hair typing system I should be a 4B all over because when dry my hair has no curl pattern, but when wet and with products my hair clearly has a curl pattern that is a mixture of 3c & 4b. LOL I don't even know girl.
Aww, maybe they will start to carry some of these products in other countries soon. Do you have a family member that can purchase and ship them to you?
No, no second thoughts. I have invested too much $ and time into my sisterlocks. I was just thinking about how I was never able elongate my hair and now I am seeing all of these demonstration videos on youtube.
It would be nice to get an endorsement but it is ok because I'm not doing them to get paid. I really just want our ladies to be informed consumers and know about good products that are out there for our hair. And yeah it was hot in my bathroom, that whole left side of my hair was dry in like 20 minutes, lol
Great review...since you like matching scents, Karen's Body Beautiful is a good line to look into. You can customize or get unscented for all of the leave-ins, butters, creams, etc. Richeau did a good review of the line if you want specific info. I have several things and I LOVE KBB!!!
I have come to terms with this and I am ok with it now. At first I was a little upset but then realized that I just have to use the right products for my hair.
I stopped using the KCCC because of the price change, I like the Curling Jelly because I got soft defined curls. The curls are much softer than when I used the KCCC, the camera didn't do it justice and it was more defined that was was shown on camera. I like this product just the same.
you have such lovely and soft looking cottony hair..so pretty...looks gorgeous with or without product!...did you dry the new eco styler olive oil gel? everyone is saying how awesome it is..seems to have a very soft hold and less buildup..for $4 with such promising results..cant go wrong
Yes I actually have tried the Eco with the Olive oil in it, it gives a nice soft hold but I still get build up from it, so I end up needing to shampoo it in the middle of the week instead of getting a full week out of a style. Thanks again for the compliment and for watching!!
Sister you are a part of my family now, my sister and I love you, she had her big chop 2 months ago and I told her about your channel,WE LOVE YOU!!!! now she is up all night like me watching your videos she is in VA and I am in ATLANTA, and we are on the phone did you see her video:) thanks for the tutorial love you!!!
LOL OMG you guys are too funny! That is so sweet to say. I am so glad I am helping you and your sis! Tell your sis congrats on her BC, and I appreciate both of you following me on my hair journey!! Be Blessed!
thanks again for sharing your thoughts on product, i may try the jelly on your word cause a $30 spot plus s&h is a hurt piece. now get this..the circles on your shower curtain look like black hoop earrings on certain clips of the video when ur face sits between them. it was kinda funny. take care.
I don't use the AfroVeda products for wash n gos, only for my twists and braids so I like this for wash n go styles, these products serve different purposes for me.
Thanks for showing your hair without product. The bottom of my sides and from the crown to the nape curl, the top is sooo cotten like and one section just doesn't curl unless I load it down with product. Thank you for showing this!
Love it! I'm glad you pointed out how your hair looks prior to defining the curl, after washing. Mine looks similar & I used to think I had no curl but found otherwise. Great results, I'll have to try this.
Thanks for the review. I'll have to check them out. I've got 4a/bcdefg hair. It was refreshing to see you talk about how your hair is without products. It actually made me feel a little better about my hair.... :D
LOL I know what you mean about having a whole bunch of different textures on one head. I want to keep it real, everyone is always saying how pretty my hair is but I wanted them to also see that my hair is a big cotton bal like many other natural women and I have to work with what I have also!! I am proud of my cotton hair to!! LOL
Yay for us cotton heads! My hair does clump on its own though when it's wet though. But i think you're the closet person I've found to my hair texture on YT! Thank goodness.
