 We also time for another comparison video. This time we're going to be comparing Melanin Hair Care Styler along with the generic version of Shea Monster Curl Enhancing Smoothie. We have the Curl Defining Cream. Also going to be using Eco Styler Gel, Jane Carter Solution Spray and some hair oil. Consistency wise, they are very similar in consistencies as far as thickness goes. However, the Curl Defining Cream is creamier, oh yes, she's creamier. The Melanin Hair Care is a little bit chunkier, if that makes sense. So I'm going to be using the Melanin Hair Care on this side first. Going in with the Jane Carter leave-in spray, y'all. If you can buy Jane Carter products, swap them up because I'm noticing some changes with her line and I'm finding it very hard to find her products, especially at Sally's. So anyway, I'm going to go ahead and unwrap all my hair. I washed my hair about three days ago so I definitely need some moisture. I am going to be using as I am grow yogurt as a leave-in, however, I'm going to go ahead and clock my own tea, just to give you guys a heads up. I don't think that I use enough of the leave-in, but we're just going to go ahead. I'm going to be setting my hair and twist you guys. This is the easiest style I think as far as when it comes to comparison videos. The reason why I am using Eco Styler Gel because honestly, you wouldn't need it with the Curl Defining Cream. However, I find that with the Melanin Hair Care Styler, it needs some hold. So that's why I am pairing it with this particular gel. So done with the Melanin Hair Care side and now I'm going to go in with the Curl Defining Cream. I am noticing that it is going on a little bit different. You can see it's kind of sitting on top of my hair there, but that's okay. I'm just working it in, ensuring that I smooth it in from root to end. Again, this product I believe is being discontinued. I have about four jars sitting and I'm not ashamed. I have about four jars. I have loved it so far. I've been using it for about a month now off and on. Actually, that's a lot for about two months because I have been using it on my son's hair. We have the same hair texture. I do find that a little bit goes a long way. I will say that. All right, y'all. So just continue to set my hair in twists. Y'all, two days later in it, it's time to take down. This is what my hair is looking like. Okay. I'm going to take my time unraveling, but I can let you know already that I know I'm going to experience some frizziness, but look at the definition. This is the melanin hair care side. And again, this right here is the Carole Curl Defining Cream, excuse me, but already just filling my hair. I can tell that the Curl Defining Cream is a little bit more harder, definition on point for both of them. But yeah, that side is better. So we're going to continue to unravel and also separate. All right, you guys. So taking down these twists, I found that the Curl Defining Cream was just a bit more defined. However, I experienced quite a bit of frizz on both sides and because of that, I decided to come back in a couple more weeks to show you guys a proper comparison video. I feel like I owe it to you. I'm going to end up pulling these twists into a low textured bun. And so, yeah, we're just going to continue to unravel my hair. And that's how we do that. A low classy textured bun. I'm sorry if you were expecting something fabulous, but hey. All right, you guys. So this is a couple of weeks later. I decided to do this again, however, I used a different leave-in conditioner. I used TGIN's Buttercream as my leave-in conditioner. I don't know what that is, girl, a big flake right there. So what I'm going to do now is I'm taking down these giddy stretchy bands. I used this actually to help stretch my hair using the bending method, basically. And my hair has been in twist now for two days. Now I still did get a little bit of frizz towards the ends of my hair that right there is sweet almond oil. I'd still got a little bit of frizz. You guys, normally when I do my twists, I like to do hanging band two knots or use perm rods. Because regardless of what type of products I use, I tend to get a little frizziness towards the end, but I made it work. I did use the different products on the same side. So this right here would be the Melanin Haircare. And the other side will be the Shea Moisture Dube. So I'm just going to take my time unraveling these twists, and then we're going to separate. Now I did make these twists a little bit smaller and let me back up. I also used the Wetline Extreme Gel, however, I used their new gel, okay, the new formula. And these twists are a bit smaller. So the differences already. This is the Curl Defining Cream, which is basically the Shea Moisture Dube that I got from Sally's Beauty, which by the way, they probably are not making any more. This side is longer. This side is fluffier. Definition is great. Definition is great on both sides. I'm going to do a side-by-side comparison, I'm going to put my hair up so you can definitely tell the difference. Now this is what's so funny. The Melanin Haircare side, way more defined, I shouldn't say way more. You're going to see here in a second. Basically if you're looking for a very defined, and if you don't mind shrinkage, Melanin Haircare. The Curl Defining Cream is going to give you definition, some hangage if you have longer hair, but it's fluffier. So we're looking at a fluffier twist out versus a well-defined twist out. I'm going to start to separate here. I didn't notice still a bit of frizz towards the ends, you guys. I typically like to do hanging band two knots or use perm rods, but I was lazy girl. So we're going to separate and yeah, I'm going to pull my hair up so you guys can definitely see the differences here. Alright, so my hair feels great overall. Again, this is the Melanin Haircare. Look at the definition, yes. This is the Curl Defining Cream. Great definition, fluffy. So my hair is way softer on that side too. I'm going to pull my hair up so you can see what it looks like underneath, still great definition, and I'm going to do the same for the other side, okay? Alright you guys, so just pinning my hair up as I stated so you can get a definite see the results here. So at the end of the day, again, this side here is the Curl Defining Cream. It's cute. She's cute. But we're going to have to go with the Melanin Haircare side. I mean, look at the definition. So yeah, that is it, everyone. Thank you so much for watching. Take care. Bye.
