 Hey curl friends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee today and today This video is actually for my braid friends braid friends doesn't really have the same ring But we're gonna go with it today today I'm gonna show you all of the best products that I have been using on My new braided hair. This is the first time that I've gotten braids if you guys haven't seen my all about braids video Make sure you watch that after this one But I've had to experiment with a whole set of new products. Just when you thought I didn't own enough hair products I needed to get more So let me go through my whole little collection of products that I've been using on my hair now The first thing that I wanted to show you is actually the only Product that I'm bringing from the curl side into the braid world Which is my diva curl build-up buster when you need to wash your braids you can wash them You are able to get your braids wet and eventually your scalp's gonna be like help me Clean me. So I really only wash my hair like once a week just like my curls If need be and I love the build-up buster because it already has that little nozzle which I use on my curly hair So now you can get in there in between the braids while you're in the shower Scrub a dub dub and rinse it out So it's gonna get rid of any dirt and build up that may be lurking on our scalp So when it comes to shampoo, I would use the diva curl build-up buster conditioner. I'm honestly not using conditioner on my braids I'm not trying to use all of my high-end silicone free products on This plastic. This is not real hair. It's synthetic You don't deserve my good stuff So I've just been doing shampoo on the scalp and then using oil later for that extra moisture instead of conditioner The next item I use is for sunblock I've already mentioned this product in my last braided video and on Instagram, but it's the kool-ass scalp and hair mist This hair mist has SPF 30 and it also has natural oils in it So this has been great to use during the summer when you're out in the sun You spray it on your braids on your scalp and that way you don't get any sunburn where your skin is exposed It has manoeu oil in it and it also has SPF so this is a great Go-to summer thing for our summer protective styles the next price I want to show you are actually made for braided hair and protective styles and of course it's by Shea moisture. I didn't even know these products existed. Raise your hand if you didn't even know these existed Right, I mean you can't keep up with shea moisture They are coming out with stuff left and right and as soon as you think you own it all you go to the store And you're like oh I'll take five One of my subscribers shout-out to at harmony love on Instagram Recommended that I try their braided line while I have my braids and I'm so glad that I did because these products are Genius the great thing about the shea moisture lines is they really thought of all the needs and Concerns that we have while we have our braided hair So the first thing I want to show you is the jojoba oil and yakuza butter Lay down lacquer with carrot seed oil. So this is basically an edge control I don't know why they didn't it's called edge control But it's not as sticky as any other edge control that I have the whole line has the same smell it smells like Sugar water if water could smell sweet It would smell like sugar water. It has a very light Refreshing scent so I use the lay down lacquer to lay down my edges kind of already did that earlier, but let me Let me get a little closer for y'all it goes on Really almost watery it's really cool and refreshing It doesn't have any build-up It has a really nice shine to it and it's not crazy sticky So I really like it even when I don't have my braids anymore This might be my new edge control just for my edges at all time The next really cool product is the jojoba oil and yakuza butter. No rinse foam cleanser Now when you have braids, you don't want to wash your hair too often because it's gonna mess it up It's gonna get frizzy. So if you have too much water and you're scrubbing all the time You're eventually going to create frizz like this Just it's just gonna come with the territory and they created a way for you to clean your scalp Without having to rinse it out or get it wet. So this is Genius, I love this so it is a foam so it looks like like mousse. So I just pump a little on my hand See the mousse and then you apply it where need some cleaning and Just really clean your scalp. So now it's gonna make your scalp look shiny We're gonna get rid of any flakes or build up And makes it look nice and clean without having to actually take a shower, which is great It doesn't leave any build-up and of course all these products that I'm showing you are sulfate Paraben and silicone free. The next must have is their track tension and itch relief serum one thing That people always warn you when you get braids that eventually your scalp is going to start itching So instead of scratching it and making it all frizzy irritating your scalp You could just add this serum. So it comes in this little dropper has the same smell as everything else Sometimes I got a little itch back here put a couple drops and Then massage it into your scalp. So I'm gonna go ahead and just apply it right here Cooling sensation it really does get rid of the itch genius Somebody was thinking somebody was thinking the next must have also by Shea moisture is their odor neutralizing mist This is great to use after the gym while it's on vacation. I was fine But now that I'm back home I am going to the gym every day and you're sweating so if it starts to smell you could just spray this so after the gym I just Lift up my hair and Spray it on my scalp. I really focus all my products more on my scalp But if you feel like the hair is starting to smell go ahead and miss some of that on there as well It has a really refreshing set. This is supposed to soothe and deodorize Cornrows box braids weaves and extensions. So if your scalp starts stinking This is what you need The next shea moisture product on the line is their hobo oil yakuuba butter braid up conditioning gel So now what I use this for is for when the top of your head or your braids start to get frizzy. I will admit There's not much you could do to prevent your hair from getting frizzy. Come on people you if you have curly hair now You had frizz before it's not just gonna disappear because you have braids now It's inevitable. So I just recently as some of you may know from my Instagram I just redid the front like four or five braids because the frizz was getting out of control and Me being beyond grenade today was just not having it So I did redo them, but I did not do these little back parts So to keep the frizz down I grabbed this gel. So let me get some for you to show you It almost smells like lemonade Maybe that's how it's not like really sweet sugary lemonade. It's a very Kind of loose Consistency it doesn't feel like your normal gel. It's more watery. So here's some frizz, right top of my head So if it was really bad I'm literally just going to Slick it down. This is gonna help keep all those baby hairs down and make it look as neat as possible Any other gel might start like getting flaky or might make it too hard or crunchy We don't want hard or crunchy braids. There's no point to that But this gel does a great job at laying down that frizz Making your hair really shiny And even if you have some braids that start to act up and your curls start to pop out You could rub this gel along your braids and Smooth down the frizz and if you really want that frizz to be laid down as well as your edges You always could put the gel on lay down your edges and then wrap your head with a scarf and leave it on for at least Like 10 minutes so it could dry in its flattest state And last but not least is their braid up and take down detangler This is the only one I have not tried yet because I want to use it when I take out my braids So apparently what this is claiming to do is that when I take out my braids It's gonna make it really easy to detangle and unbraided. I do plan on doing a video of me Unbraiding my hair and also showing you how much hair I lose how much shedding happens while having my hair up in braids So that video is coming soon. I want to do that video I am gonna try this to see how well it detangles the only other thing that I've been using while having braids is this really large Shower cap. I also use this on my curly hair. This is by Amica. It has a microfiber towel lining in it So it really keeps your hair dry So when I take a shower and I don't want my braids to get wet because the braids do take forever To dry I wrap it up in a bun and then I wear this super large jumbo shower cap So that my hair stays dry and I only wash it when I really need to so these are the products I've been using while having my hair in braids that have just made my life a lot easier I must say I am very impressed with the shea moisture line because they thought about all the real concerns So bravo to shea moisture if you have braids I definitely recommend them I'll put the links to all these products below in the description box So you guys could check it out for yourself all the shea moisture products range from 999 to 1399 most of them are 1199 So it's still very affordable price and I definitely think it's worth it If your scalp is itching smelling needs to be clean or needs to be laid down if you enjoyed this video Hope you give me a thumbs up and subscribe I post two new videos every week once on Friday and once on Sunday And if you want to be the first to know about my new hair what I'm using what I'm liking Make sure you follow me on Instagram Twitter and snapchat at niz beyond grenade I'm always posting updates in my story.
