 Trini girl natural hi everyone welcome to my channel today i'm going to be talking about as i am i started using as i am close to when i went natural but i had a couple of them in my stash and then i kind of moved on to other things but i decided like i want to kind of get through my stash i didn't like the butters and the coashes they felt really coated on my hair but i did like the leaf in and the curling jelly i did like how my hair looked with them so i decided to just go ahead and give them another whirl so i have the leaf in conditioner and i have the curling jelly so this is actually i guess the super size curling jelly i think i got this on naturallycurly.com if you're curious about that so i think i'll show you a quick demo and then just get back to the review with my results and everything so just take a look at how it went on on my hair and then we'll get back into the details two before adding the gel now i'm going to add it as i am curling jelly so it isn't exactly runny but i guess it is kind of it doesn't stretch as far as some of the other gels that i use so i do use more but it does give me good moisture and definition so i smooth my hair like this first to help prevent tannels and then i rake to distribute so i do like a smooth rake smooth rake smooth i do think like the other gels that i use um the camellia rose and the kikiki younger funky has more slick but i can still get my hair through my hair so once i'm done smoothing to my liking put my clips in and shake so the clips just have to keep my hair keep the pop and also kind of prevent frizz i'll try and i'll see you in a bit to used to leaving and the curling jelly with a little bit of oil on my ends and this is the result i do like how it looks i like how it feels it's really soft and it is my hair does feel moisturized it also gives me some elongation i'm kind of like where did all this life come from i do like the definition as well the slip was fine especially the leaving the slip on the leaving is really nice the slip on the gel was slightly subpar to the other top gels that i use like camellia rose and kikiki only but it was fine i had not many issues getting it through my hair if my hair is a little bit on the flat side so but that's not really a problem i'm it'll get bigger as the week goes on the only downside i think of these two products for me are the ingredients so that's why i decided not to gather many more not because of how they worked so much but because of the ingredients the leaving is pretty much great it's just that as i am uses that um urea in all of their products pretty much it's a format that i really think preservative so i'm not really too so on that so of course you know it's supposed to be just a little bit released and safe to a certain quality and stuff like that but for me if i can avoid using those kind of things i rather just avoid it and it's pretty much in all their products at least it's in these two so that's the main reason why i'm not gonna get it anymore but i have at least one more an open one of the leaving i think this is the last gel so i probably have another use or two in this and then it'll be done and i have um there's so much moisture whatever that is moisturizer and i have the clean pudding still so once i get through all of that i guess i'll be done let me actually show you the ingredients if you can see it because it's pretty tiny i'm gonna try a lot of great ingredients in the leaving overall besides the preservative like beetroot extract which is gun apple fruit extract lemon sugar cane which is good for moisture betaine which i'm not really too sure about because i mean i know of betaine as a surfactant but it's kind of low down and then it gets into the stuff but i'm not too keen on like the diars a ladenille urea so it has a whole ton of great stuff i just don't like the preservatives that they choose for their lines so you know i may keep an eye out in case they decide to use the fun preservatives in the future this is the texture it's pretty rich and creamy so i do like that also it goes on kind of thick but nice being not to the point of not having enough water for my hair i can still use it without my hair getting dry at the end and it's still moisturizing and the slip is good so i have no issues with the slip the slip is great it'll probably be like a sweet like custard kind of scent it's with a slight bit of perfume to it so i really like the leaving minus the urea the jelly this is the consistency of it so i don't know if you can see that so let's see if i can put it somewhere so sticky leaving sweater leaving smells more custody this smells almost more pure fragrance but a really mild nice fragrance yes it's slimy but it's pretty close let me show you the ingredients on it so again it has the betaine so i'm really going to have to like look up that betaine and maybe add a little note in the description box about the purpose of it but it seems to be another trend in their products the ingredients water glycerin hydroxyethyl cellulose which is like a cheap gelling agent and then the betaine which i'm going to look up then aloe vera juice pectin and the beetroot xanthum and so on so those are the ingredients that i would like to see at the top i don't really like to buy gels that are hydroxyethyl cellulose just because it's a cheaper ingredient now this is a cheaper price it's cheaper than the cameiros but i it doesn't go as far so the amount i get for use is probably the same price as the cameiros in terms of the number of uses per dollar or something and the ingredients are cheaper in the sense that it's a lot of like the synthetic hydroxyethyl cellulose and not so much of the you know pectin i don't even think as i am is that cheap actually because at least one product from them i couldn't afford which was the deconditioner never tried it just because of the price but it works well i'm just not a fan of the ingredients and you can see i mean i really like how my hair looks today so the answer about that i'm gonna be happy this whole week so that's something worth mentioning if you are not picky about ingredients then i would definitely suggest trying this line because i do think it works well at least these two products work well let me know if you use it i know at least a couple of my subbies mentioned that they use as i am and they love the result with it having the hydroxyethyl cellulose it will tend to give you more definition than say cameiros because you know it has a kind of stronger gelling agent so if you are looking for more definition if you're looking for elongation then definitely give this a try in terms of shine i think my shine is pretty normal and of course no crunch yay for no crunch um i don't get flakes but i didn't get flakes so yay for that and definitely yay for the moisture and stuff like that so that was it i hope you enjoyed my review thanks for watching see you in the next one bye
