 Hey curlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee today and today. I'm wearing a fur coat in the spring Why you ask because I feel like I had the channel my inner cookie lion for today's review This is TPH by Taraji P. Henson the actress that you might know from Empire Cookie Lion She's also was in hustling flow. She was in think like a man She was in what men want hidden figures Google her, but she's another Black actress that decided to make a natural hairline the only kind of like Thing about that is we've ever really seen Taraji rock her natural hair And maybe that's why she created a line because she didn't like how products worked on her hair Maybe that's why she's always in wigs and weaves. Oh No, but here I am trying out the product No, it's gonna be an unbiased video because one I went out and bought these products with my own money I ordered them from Target during quarantine. So I had to just you know pick and ship So fortunately all these products range from 10 to $15. So I was like, okay Taraji at Target making it affordable. I'm all for it. You also know I'm a sucker for good packaging Look at these cute colors. Love the packaging these different types of unique nozzles Definitely caught my attention now for the big test that you guys know I have to check for is the ingredients But fortunately once I did my digging all the products that I purchased are sulfate paraben silicone free Thank God. I noticed that once you even pick up the bottle There's no ingredients on the back of this shampoo and the conditioner It is on the back of these two bottles. It's not on the back of this hair mask Nor is it on the gel? So it's like why would you put it on some but not the others and then as I did my detective work and I had to look underneath and I had to peel off This little what looks like, you know the price tag scanner thing bruh Thank God, I still have 20 20 vision so one even though I love the look of the bottles I don't like the thing ingredients are like hidden Underneath the price tag you have to literally take off the whole sticker and there's more Ingredients on the sticky part of the sticker Why though I did not purchase all the products she released 18 products all at once That's a pretty intense in-your-face type of launch We usually get like a shampoo a conditioner and a styler, but she gave us a lot to choose from so I didn't want all of them I just chose the ones that really took out to me that I thought would work best for my hair type now are these products New not that new I'm a little late to the game, but I'm kind of glad because every single review I've seen People don't like these products. I think I've seen maybe one positive review And I think two of you wrote me on Instagram But that's gotta it so I wasn't you know too inclined or excited to jump into trying something that everybody hates But I'm not saying I'm gonna set up this review with a bias like negative attitude. I kind of just came in like Why do I have so many foe for a coach you ask? Don't worry about it. So without that being said I am gonna have an open mind So I can see how these products really work for me now the first thing to try is the edge control Let's grab this one. So the edge control is called slick. It's for curly and coily hair This is the first edge control. I've seen in a squeeze tube. So that's interesting Little pop top like that So I'm gonna treat this like toothpaste very thick toothpaste on my little toothbrush Okay, there we go got a little bit there. Oh very thick so far so good little swoop there Let's get some more Slow this comes. Oh, you got to work out. So use the edge control. I'm not the baby hair slayer That I want to be squeak. It's pretty shiny. It's like the down We'll see how long they stay down I'll try to come back at the end of this video later on tonight now Let's move on to the shampoo and conditioner that are made for your scalp. So starting off with the master cleanse I'm just going to twist the nozzle and apply this directly to my scalp the very first thing that you will notice with these products Is the smell the smell is so Strong and I'm glad I'm not alone in this once I watched some other reviews I noticed that everybody hates the smell. It smells like a super strong Cologne not perfume Cologne of somebody's uncle This is somebody's uncle's cologne and you guys know I'm very big on smell So that could turn me off a product alone, but I continued because the nozzle is so cool So why don't you twist the top open? You'll see this is a very watery consistency like there's no slip in this at all It's not creamy at all. It literally feels like water So I do think that the tri tip applicator is very unique. It's a very cooling sensation It has which hazel water eucalyptus oil and tea tree oil I do usually like a product that lathers kind of makes me feel like it's clean This I didn't feel like I was using enough or not because it doesn't bubble up and I also didn't really think it should travel down to the lengths of my hair So I kind of feel like it's as great for your scalp But it also made me want to use a shampoo After using it for the rest of my hair and I don't want to feel like I have to use two products to Necessarily clean my hair, but that's kind of what this product left me feeling so after I rinse it out my hair felt you know Clean at least my roots did but the rest of my hair was kind of untouched then I moved on to the conditioner the same twist nozzle and It's also Very strong smell the conditioner has aloe shea butter eucalyptus oil and peppermint So more great ingredients, especially for your scalp same tri tip applicator This is really interesting because usually you don't always apply your conditioner to your scalp Shampoos for the scalp conditioners for the lengths of your hair, but you also don't want to dry scalp So I do like the idea of conditioning your scalp So I did apply it the same as a shampoo and I did have a slight You know tingling sensation, but nothing crazy like normal scalp products once again I didn't feel like I could use this on the length of my hair So I ended up just squeezing it into my palm. It's a very Lightweight cream conditioner not very thick at all and I smoothed this down one side of my hair to see how much slip It had and see if I could detangle the tangling was pretty rough I would not say this product has great slip, but I also think it's really only for your scalp So now am I supposed to use another conditioner after using my conditioner? And it's kind of doing a lot. So overall conclusion on these two products. I love the color I love the applicator bottle. I hate the smell and I think that they're good for your scalp But what you go and do about the rest of your actual hair? Predict a minute So after detangling was pretty much a fail of the mint condition on one side of my hair I decided not to detangle the other side so I could see how much slip the Hair mask has this is the mother earth a Moisturizing clay mask supposed to soften define and de-friger hair for wavy Curly and coily hair. So now we're gonna a little bit more specific for curly textured hair Kaolin clay coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. All right Really liking these ingredients. Let's give it a smell They're just so strong. I Thought there had to have been one person in that production meeting I was like and everyone just looked at Rajee like no, we think it's perfect Rajee. We think it's perfect You should listen to the intern consistency is Like a clay, you know, it's pretty thick orangey beige color. It's like spread it on both sides of my hair and it wasn't That easy to detangle with but it was much better than the mint condition So I put in my hair and left it on for 20 minutes that I rinsed it out Once I rinsed it out I was pleasantly surprised to see that my curls actually looked very moisturized. They did look defined It was very shiny. So I was pleased with the mask After I rinsed out my mask now time to apply a Styling product. So of course I had to get the gel I wasn't really interested in the styling milk because usually milks Don't do much for my hair. They don't have enough hold or enough moisture So I was like and it had silicone. So it was definitely a pass for me But the gel is called tough cookie. Love it clever cookie lion. I get it but the styling defining gel supposed to slick shape and define for curly and coily hair and infused with Biobub flaxseed and castor oil Every time I sniff these I get a slight headache. Oh I'm not even that sensitive to smells. So if you're someone that's like really sensitive to scents and smells fragrances Don't even look at these products when you're in target. Just like run past them But it has a very watery Consistency it did feel good applying to my hair I feel it does have actually kind of a good slip for being a styling product and for being A gel I was able to rake it in smooth it scrunch it and get some good definition and it looked pretty promising Just off of first impression Then I had dried about 85% and then it was time to diffuse grab my diffuser on medium low heat I diffused it. This is how my hair turned out Alright, the gel dried to a nice cast give me a good hold for definition and Fortunately when I smelled my hair it didn't Really smell too strong like the scent doesn't last forever. So that was good And I really liked how to find my curls looked So far so good. The next product I wanted to try is her leave-in conditioner called Ryder dye Love the name and this is a detangling leave-in conditioner The tango condition protect for all hair types and it's a spray leave-in I did try this on day two when my hair was a little bit more dry So starting off on refreshed damp curls. I just added some water then I grabbed my Ryder dye leave-in conditioners spritzing it all over my hair and even the leave-in has this Darn scent somebody was so in love with this scent. They were like put it in everything just sprinkle a little bit in everything But after I will say my curls looked very shiny and very moisturized and I was able to detangle I usually never detangle on my refresh days, but I accidentally was just because it was a gliding through So I did like the slip in the leave-in and then I put on the gel So I raked in some more gel smooth and scrunched and these are my results looking very good. I got some volume I got a lot of definition. It looks a little extra shinier than it did on the first day I'm very Surprisingly pleased with both of these stylers aside from the smell But here's the funny thing about this gel the very first line it says always up for the challenge tough cookie never Crumbles or flakes and it's funny that there will be that bowl to put that on the package Because the number one complaint I've seen all over YouTube is that this gel flakes Everybody has actual video footage of just their shirts covered in white little speckles They could shake it out and you could see all these little white flakes all over the place Flake here than the friend that says I'll let you know if they're coming to your party So I was already really nervous about that, but I purposely wore black for you guys and I'm gonna shake it out extra hard To show you don't know why if anything I have more of white fur on here than I do white flakes But I mean I have a couple little dots But that's honestly like a normal thing with Amy product that I use especially on this day three hair So I've applied this gel three days in a row and that's the worst that I've seen It's just a couple flakes here and there I almost feel like left out, but then I thought maybe they are pairing it with the style milk Which does have silicone which could create product build-up and then maybe the cream and the gel Aren't friends which is very possible, but then I saw my friend Raina's video aka happy curl happy girl And she only used the gel and even she experienced flakes There goes my theory. I don't know I don't know why some people are getting flakes and some people aren't but the most Hilarious thing on this bottle is that it says use a nickel sized amount a nickel a Nickel-sized really girl. Is this for curly hair? Who is this claiming? Curly and coily hair it should just be illegal at this point to put a nickel size a dime size any type of metal coin sized amount as a suggestion on a bottle. We're not gonna do it We never are. We're gonna open this bottle and we're gonna scoop for our life and the last two products that I got in her line are the tph honey fresh a clarifying shampoo with moisture and Her make it rain a hydration rich conditioner. So let's hop back in the shower applying this to wet hair this shampoo Has the same Darn it smells like pine. It has willow bark extract aloe and honey Nothing sweet about this, but I did like that this one actually lathered So now I got my bubbling sensation I thought I felt more comfortable applying this to the lengths of my hair So I thought my hair is getting a really good clean now and once I rinse it out It did feel like squeaky clean not very moisturized even though my curls still looked nice But it was like an actual clarifying clean that I think is important to have every blue moon So I was actually satisfied with shampoo aside from the not preferable smell Moving on to the conditioner has aloe quinoa avocado oil and moringa oil. So now let's try to detangle with this one Alright Promising promising. I am seeing some good slip here. I'm liking it way more than the mint condition So this one I do feel like is for the actual lengths of your hair It had enough slip to where I felt comfortable Finger detangling here's how my curls looked after detangling both sides pretty moisturized defined. I'm happy with it So after that wash day I think I applied more of the leave-in conditioner and the gel and then yesterday I applied just the gel and then today I refreshed again with the leave-in conditioner and the gel and these are my results today I'm very happy with how defined my curls look. My curls are soft There's no crunch so I was able to get that hold and then diffuse it away to get to this look right here And I was happy to use it all week long And I don't smell the smell So as long as you can get past that initial application It eventually goes away So in conclusion should you run out and buy these products? Well, no not right now because we're all in quarantine and these products are not worth dying for Should you order them immediately? Probably if I had to like go back and repurchase I probably would only buy the gel I don't know why I didn't get the flaking results that so many other people did but it worked really well for me The edge control Let's look It's feeling a little soft already, so I don't know if this would be like a long lasting edge control update the edge control Did not last it's already done. It's only been a couple hours Anything the edge control might be flaking Now the rest of the line. I mean they did their job. I Think they worked. I just don't know if you need them because you can get these same type of results From other brands without getting a migraine from the smell If you happen to be over 50 years old and someone's grandma that likes the smell of strong cologne By golly, you're gonna love these products I just don't see anyone under the age of 20 wanting to smell like this Like you should be wanting to smell like bath and body works lotion. Those are the scents you should strive for Nothing like this. I mean I'm 30 and I don't like this Smell these products. Actually, I'm posting this video on my birthday I'll be 31 today.
