 So in today's video, I will be reviewing the products that I used in my previous video to achieve this style, this twist out. So if you haven't watched that video yet, go and check it out. I demonstrate how I use Baskin Blue Essential hair care line and this video is me reviewing the products and how I feel about each and every one of them, what worked for me and what didn't. So let's jump right in because I don't want this to be a long video. So I'm going to start off with the shampoo bar. I'm going to go in the order that I used them in my previous video. So I use the Rasool and Bentonite Clay shampoo bar, which states that it clarifies and detoxes. Let me tell y'all, this shampoo bar does what it says. It clarifies and detoxes. Okay, this is not a shampoo bar that I would use on a weekly basis because after using it, my hair felt squeaky clean. It was really clean. However, applying the shampoo bar to my scalp and my hair was so easy. As you can see in the demo video, go check it out if you haven't watched that yet. It was very easy to obtain a ladder. Like I mentioned in that video, I had gone weeks without washing my hair and usually when your hair is really dirty, you have to do a few washes before you obtain a good ladder. I did not have to do that with this shampoo bar. So this will be a staple in my hair product collection. However, I would not use it on a daily basis, I mean on a weekly basis, probably once a month or twice a month the most. Usually if I know I have a lot of product build up, but other than that, it's a pretty decent bar and I like that it actually does what it says. I hate when brands put products out there and claim that it does X, Y, and Z and it does none of the above. So if you're looking for a good, clarifying shampoo bar, this is definitely a good one and the ingredients are amazing, simple, and straight to the point. It's literally, nothing on this ingredients list is hard to pronounce, it's basic, okay? Distilled water, saponified oils of coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, olive butter, and castor oil, rasu, cleban, tonic, clay, almond powder, and honey and fragrance. Straight to the point. This is the actual bar I keep it in this little soap dish, four ounce bar and it runs for 9.50. I would say that's kind of steep for a shampoo bar. However, I feel like on the other hand, it's not because this little thing was going to last me a long time. It did not reduce in size after one wash, so I am sure I can get plenty washes out of this one bar, so 9.50 might seem a little pricey for some, but you have to look at the other side in terms of how long it's going to last you, how much use is you're going to get out of it. My hair is pretty thin and it's not that full, so maybe someone with longer and thicker hair may not see this as being worth it because they may have to use more of it. So, you know, you got to figure that out for yourself, but for me, I think it's worth it. And I didn't pay 9.50. All of these products I'm talking about today, I got in a bundle during Cyber Monday, so I got a big, well it wasn't, I don't know, consider it a big discount, but it was at a discounted price and I did purchase it in a bundle, and bundles are usually cheaper than buying the individual product. So they do have certain bundles still on their website, so check that out. The link will be in the description box to their website. And again, this is not a sponsored video, this is just my honest opinion, my honest review. I'm not getting paid for this, I wish, but I'm not. So, the next product I use is the Bramie Root Hair Mask, and let me tell you, let me tell you about this. The scent isn't all that in the container, but when you put it in your hair, to me it smells better. I don't know why, but it just does. But it's a very thick consistency, if you guys can see that. See that? It's not going to fall out of the container. However, when you apply it to your hair, it like, it melts. It just like melts on your strands, like, I don't even know how to describe it. You would have to use it to know, but it, I love it. I can't even say anything bad about this honestly, like, it literally melts on my hair strands. And I left it on my hair for, I don't even know how long. But after getting that squeaky clean feeling from using the Clarifying Shampoo, this is perfect to follow up with, because it just brought all the softness and moisture back into your hair. It's like magic, I don't know. But yeah, I don't have nothing bad to say about this. The price point for this is, this is $17.99 by itself. That's a lot for a damn hair mask. I'm not even going to lie, that's on the higher end. However, again, you have to take into account how great it works. And this is a 12 ounce bottle, $17.99 for a 12 ounce bottle that is expensive, okay? So this has to be a miracle product for somebody to want to repurchase. So I don't know, like I said, it might not be worth it to you. And honestly, will I spend $17.99 and buy this by itself? I think I will. However, me, I like to save my coins so I would most likely wait until there's a sale or some kind of coupon or something going on and then purchase it. Or I would purchase it in a bundle so that I know that, you know, I'm still saving and not spending the whole $17.99 for just a 12 ounce bottle because that is steep. I mean, if it was at least a 16 ounce bottle, I would say patience but 12 ounce. I don't know about that. However, I will say I probably use more than I needed to. I was a bit heavy handed in applying this. So yeah, a little does go a long way. However, I just love how it felt in my hair so much that I think I just got a little carried away. The ease leave-in. This is a decent leave-in conditioner. I don't have anything bad to say about this. Like, I used this in my hair before I banned it to stretch it. And when I took out the bands, like my hair felt very soft and moisturized. But the reason why I really do like this is because it's lightweight. It's thick and on the website, I see that they have a different top for this. They have actually a pump and a pump would be so much easier because of how thick this is. It's not easy to come out there. It's that thick. It's thick but it's lightweight. So it's not going to weigh down your hair. So I would say the only con is actually the packaging. So instead of this squeeze top, they should have, well they do have, I see it on their website, they do have like a pump. So maybe this is the old way. You know, I bought this back in November last year. So now that shouldn't be a problem for those who is buying it now. However, this is really nice. It was easy to apply to my hair. I didn't have to do much to work it in. It didn't just sit on my strands, it actually like penetrated into my hair shaft. So I really like that. And again, my hair is felt soft and smooth. Even after it dried, it still felt moisturized. I didn't really need much to moisturize my hair. It's fine because of the ingredients, so you know the ingredients isn't a con because I've already looked at it. For $17.99, now that I would say is steep because it's just a leave-in conditioner. Why is it damn near $20? For the hair mass, I said patience, but a leave-in, I really do think that's kind of steep. And I don't think I would purchase this for $17.99 by itself because it's, I mean, it's a decent conditioner, but that's a lot of money for a leave-in for a 12-ounce bottle. I can't really say that is either you're going to buy it or you're not. So like I said, I take advantage of sales and bundles and stuff. So, you know, to each his own. So if you watch my previous video, you'll see that I stretched my hair using the leave-in and then the next day I did a twist out using the mango butter, not the mango butter, the mango caster twisting cream and the more moisture cream. So what I realized is that the more moisture cream to use by itself. I didn't need to pair this with this. It was not necessary. So once I realized that, I stopped using it. I also used it on my fiancee hair and let me tell you, this is going to be a staple in our house. His hair is completely different than mine. This moisturizes hair. It literally penetrated his hair strands instead of sitting on top of his hair. And it made his hair so easy to detangle, so easy to manage. It made it so soft, like I'm not even raving about this product for me. I'm raving about it for him because I use it in his hair. So I know that it worked. This is $15.99 for eight ounce. And yeah, that is kind of steep, $15.99 for an eight ounce bottle. But I will buy this again and again and again, whether it's by itself, whether it's on sale or not, because it works that good for his hair. Now the Mango Twisting Creme, like I don't even have to say nothing. Look at this. Like do y'all see these curls? I don't have to say anything. This is the proof right here. And this is day five. Day five. Okay. So like there's nothing else to say about this. It works. Like I love it. My hair, I did a video showing you guys how I put my hair up at night so I can keep my twist out for a whole week. And I mentioned that I spray a light leave-in in my hair before I twist it. I didn't even have to do that. I did that video to demonstrate how I would normally do it. But after using this, I don't need to spray anything in my hair at night. It's not necessary. Like my hair is soft and moisturized. It's not dry. This is definitely going to be a staple for me. And this goes for $15.99 as well. And again, I will buy this again. I don't even have nothing bad to say about it. And the... Oh my gosh, ingredients. I think the thing I love most about this line is all the ingredients. Because I'm tired of these companies claiming to be natural products or organic products or whatever you want to call it. And you look at the ingredients and it's a long-ass list. First of all, half of it you can't pronounce. You gotta go Google what everything is. You find out that there's all kinds of chemicals in it. Just because it doesn't have parabens or sulfates doesn't mean that it's natural because there's tons of other chemicals you can put in product. So I love their ingredients list on all of their products. It's pretty much straight to the point. Five day old twist out. There's nothing not to like about this right now. Last but not least, this oil. This as it nourishes, stimulates, it nourishes and stimulates growth. Whenever I see the word stimulating, I expect to feel some kind of tingling sensation on my scalp. But that's just my own personal problem. It has nothing to do with the company or their product. Anything could be stimulating I guess. Whether you feel it or not. If you put peppermint oil in your products, in your DIYs, for your hair or whatever, put that in your hair, you're gonna feel it. Or rosemary or lavender. If you combine all of that, you're gonna feel it stimulating your scalp. So I guess that's what I was expecting. I was expecting to feel a stimulation on my scalp. And I didn't get that. However, a little goes a long way. I didn't have to use a lot of it. In the previous video, you saw me applying it to my scalp and then massaging it in. It is a herbal oil. So I guess they use the leaves of all of those herbs and infuse the olive oil with it. And that's about it. And all of those herbs are great for natural hair and great for promoting growth. So I'm pretty sure over time of using this, I will see the benefits. But one use is not enough to tell. I don't want to make my hair soft, but all of the products make my hair soft. So at the end of the day, you can't lose by using it because the ingredients are so great that I'm sure over time using it you're gonna see great results. I do want to try more products from their line. I want to try their skincare products that I would like to try. See how it works on my skin because right now I pretty much do my own thing. I love DIYs and it's been working well for my skin. So I want to explore a little more. Anyways, that's it for this video. I hope you guys enjoy. Subscribe if you haven't.
