 Hey Girlfriends! I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I'm gonna give you guys a video that you have been waiting for. All the products that I don't like. Yes, there actually are products that I don't use and or don't work for my hair. Now many of these items in my giant box have sulfate, paraben or silicone or they just straight up sucked. Now as some of you may know, I usually don't prefer to talk about products that I don't like on my channel because I really rather spend that time making videos for products that I do like showing you how those work to actually help you versus making a whole video on something that doesn't really even deserve the shine. But my box is starting to overflow so I'm gonna donate all these products. No, I'm not gonna give them to you because we're working on getting your curls to look perfect so I'm not gonna give you something that I don't like. Sorry. And there is a part of me that doesn't even really like donating these products because I mean they're not the best. But I know that there are people that are less fortunate that don't have anything to use so I much rather these products be helping somebody than sitting in my corner collecting dust. But without further ado let's get started because there's a lot to go through. All right so yeah this is box number one and we're just gonna see what's in here okay. Starting with a brand that I'm really trying to like but um there's just always sulfates and silicones. And that is Weedad. Funny thing about Weedad is that they call themselves the curl experts. Yet most curly people try to avoid a lot of the ingredients in their expertise products. So this is their daily conditioner and primer for all curl types that has ammo dimethicone. This is their advanced climate control shampoo that has silicone and I don't even know why the shampoo would have silicone like it's a shampoo like why. Um so kind of like this whole advanced climate control has sulfate and silicone. I haven't used it it could work amazing but as you guys know I prefer not to use products that have sulfate and silicone because you don't need it. And this is not a cheap product so if you guys are going to be spending 20 plus dollars on a product it might as well be sulfate, paramedic, silicone free. Okay. So yeah I have a lot of Weedad in here. Um the next thing I have oh a vino. These a vino products have ammo dimethicone and I was sent so many of these and I was so excited but literally shampoos conditioner. Uh let's see what's in the shampoo. Even the shampoo has ammo dimethicone. I really don't get when there's silicone in a shampoo I just don't get it. So I have like the entire a vino line that I'm just not going to use so that's very unfortunate but somebody is going to get hooked up with this entire line. Another thing in my box are some products by Wow. Color Wow. This is really supposed to be really good for color treated hair but these products do have dimethicone so I haven't used those yet. I also get products by Way and a lot of those like beauty boxes but these always have silicone in these little texturizing hair spray so don't use that. What is this? Um OGX. OGX has maybe like five products that are sulfate pyramid silicone free. Unfortunately this one is not and has cyclopenticillazane in it which is a silicone. Bella Curls. Bella Curls sent me like their entire line and I'm pretty positive that even before they emailed me these I said hey just wanted to make sure that these products are sulfate pyramid silicone free or I'm not going to be able to use them and I'm pretty sure they said it was good to go and it's not. It says straight up silicone. Not even dimethicone not able to methicone it says silicone and some of you guys wrote me and said that you didn't even like it so yeah that's a no for me dog. WEN. The very old school popular brand WEN. It says methyl sulfate but just so you guys know that is actually not a sulfate. It's one of those confusing ones that looks like a sulfate but is not amodomethicone. So it's a cleansing conditioner so it's like a shampoo conditioner mix that does have silicone. This is a huge bottle. I've got oh Aveda. Aveda is another one you guys ask me to try all the time but I am trying but they just don't create enough products that are sulfate pyramid silicone free. I was able to keep I think one or two of the products that they sent me but the shampoo unfortunately does have sulfate in it so not using that one especially on my color treated hair. Next up I have the ogx damage remedy coconut miracle oil. This is a hair mask but this hair mask has silicone in it so I really don't recommend using any hair mask that has silicone because you're letting it sit on your hair for 20 minutes but nothing's going to be able to penetrate because silicone sits on top of your hair. So not only are you buying a product that's not really going to work that well you're literally wasting your time. You're letting your hair sit in silicone for 20 minutes and you're wondering why it's not growing. So I think that's everything in box number one. Box number two. I tried to put this in Breonna Chenet's box but now it's falling apart from the box but let's see what's in here. Now I do want to clarify that just because some products are in here does not mean that that entire brand isn't good. Sometimes a brand can make certain you know good products but some other ones aren't so just make sure you always read the back of the labels so you know what you're getting yourself into. Like Carol's Daughter. Carol's Daughter is a very popular brand in the curly hair community but many of their products do have sulfates or silicone. There is their cocoa cream line and they're like green supreme line and that's honestly one of my favorite conditioners like period. So I'm really happy that they did finally make a line that is sulfate paramedic silicone free but just note that there are some that are and some that aren't and some that aren't would include the Prakashi Nectar wash and go leave in the green supreme leave in tonic and a lot of their other ones. The next thing in here is TGIN another one you guys ask me about all the time that I haven't given a whole video on my channel but this does have amelodomethicone in it and this is their Miracle Repair Curl Food. So there are TGIN products that do contain silicone keep that in mind if you guys are trying to avoid them. Plentyful does have silicone in it. Hair La Vie. This one might be silicone free. I just really didn't like the person I was talking to so we're not reviewing them on my channel. Fat Boy. I think I used their edge control but this product did have let's see this is a hair spray that has silicone in it. Can't use Fat Boy. Mark Anthony. This is a perfect example of why you just shouldn't buy whatever products that say curly on them because it doesn't mean they're gonna be really good for your curly hair. This is the Strictly Curls Line Leave-In Conditioner. All of the curls Mark Anthony products in this yellow bottle do contain cyclopenticillizane which is silicone so unfortunately can't use these products if you want to be CG friendly. Miss Jessie's. Oh another one you guys ask me to review all the time that hasn't made it on my channel but this is their Quick Curls and unfortunately it has cyclopenticillizane like the fourth ingredient on here which is a silicone. Have some more weed ad. Their Vitacurl gel cream has silicone but their other Vitacurl products don't so I do use those like the gel is great but I don't use the cream because of the silicone. Amika. This is Amika's hair mass that has silicone in it. Texture ID. These products actually are sulfate paraben silicone free. I just didn't like them. My curls were like nope this isn't it so that's why these are in here. If you want to try these you definitely can because they're not going to harm your hair in any way but I just didn't see any lasting results that were going to get me throughout the week so I don't use any of the Texture ID products. Rich. I was so excited to use Rick Ross's brand because I mean it's Rick Ross why not but all his products had demethicone, cyclomethicone like so many silicones in here that I couldn't use it but I really wanted to be Rick Ross's friend. Misani. Misani is another popular kind of I think they're a high-end brand but there's demethicone in this leave-in so haven't used that one. Bumble and Bumble. The only Bumble and Bumble product that I use is their shampoo because it's sulfate free but all their other stylers have silicone so that's why I don't use Bumble and Bumble. Nature Lab. I think their shampoo might be sulfate free but their other products have silicone. Agave. Agave has a deep conditioner but this has silicone in it as well. Bouclem. Now I know what you're thinking. I did do a video all about these products because they are sulfate paraben silicone free but I put it in here because I just couldn't deal with the smell anymore. I'm pretty sure I told you guys in my video that it has a really strong smell but it was it's it's so strong so it works but I personally just couldn't deal with the smell anymore so that's why this is in here. So now you know these are all the products that I do not use in my collection. I think just about all these were sent to me so fortunately I didn't waste any of my money on these products but that's why I'm showing you guys today so you also don't waste any money on products that have sulfates, parabens or silicone because those ingredients really just aren't going to help your hair in any way. If you want to use these products you know to each his own but if your hair isn't growing, isn't shiny, isn't defined, is always frizzy this might be the problem. Now while we're talking about products I do want to mention that I get so many DMs on Instagram where you guys are asking me does this product have silicone, does this product have sulfate and I have made a complete video on how to read the labels on products and I actually made a second video with Penny Tovar aka Curly Penny where we went shopping at Target and we showed you how to read the labels on products so you know which ones have sulfates or silicone. I will make sure to link both of those videos after this video because I don't want you guys to have to like need me you know what I'm saying I want you to always want me because you just should but I really want you guys to be at a point where you could just figure it out all on your own. So in those videos you'll learn about keywords look for like dimethicone, amlodimethicone, cyclopentacilazane, sulfates, sulfonate, there's so many but the more you look for them that you're just going to be at a spot just by turning over the bottle and when in doubt like I do don't be afraid to use Google all you have to do is go to Google and say is bloody blah a silicone is bloody blah a sulfate and it'll come right up and you'll have your answer much faster than waiting for me to reply to your DM. So now that you've seen my naughty collection let me know if there's any products that you're actually surprised that aren't CG friendly surprised that they do have silicone or that I didn't like them let me know your thoughts down below and also let me know what products don't work for you what other brands do you try to avoid because of sulfates and silicone. Let's take my comment section as helpful as possible so we know what products to avoid.
