 Hey curl friends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee today and today I have some more Curly hair products review for you guys, but once again, not only am I going to review them So are you so I put another little question box on my Instagram and my Instagram story if you guys aren't following me Follow me at Ms. Bianca Renee where I asked you what you thought of these products I'm gonna be including your comments in this video. The products that we're going to be reviewing today are Flora and curl Flora and curl has been around for a while now, but they just recently got into Ulta So congratulations on a new business getting into such a major store. They're also a black UK owned brand So that's also really cool. Another favorite thing that I like about is that it's a botanical Haircare line so they have really really really natural ingredients. I'm talking no synthetic fragrances No colors dies mineral oil parabens silicone sulfates. It's made of cold pressed plant oils fruits vegetables flowers and herbs like Natural they're so natural that at first these products did not work for me And I had zero interest in ever using them again. So with that initial launch I personally wasn't impressed. They didn't really work for me They're not products I would normally use and I did not like the smell But they have come out with new products that I'm going to be reviewing today Because I had a better experience with these and I'm going to be including your comments as well So let's see what both you and I have to say about these products So I'm going to be trying out four of their products today including the Flora and curl protect me African citrus bloom Superfruit shampoo. I also got the Flora and curl hydrate me organic rose and honey cream conditioner and then to style my hair I have the organic rose honey leave-in detangler and I'm going to end it off with these sweet hibiscus curl defining gel So before we get started, let me tell you a little bit more about the products All of these bottles are 10 fluid ounces. So it's like an average size bottle But as we should know by now with good ingredients comes high prices So let me go to the Ulta website and let's see how much all these things cost the defining gel is $19 superfruit shampoo is $17 the cream conditioner is $24 and the leave-in detangler is $22 so it's not like crazy expensive But these aren't drugstore prices especially because you're not getting drugstore ingredients. So let's start off with the shampoo in the shower This is the Flora and curl protect me African citrus bloom superfruit shampoo This is the only product out of the four that I'm going to review today That actually smells good. I mean it smells like the African citrus bloom on the title So because of the citrus you smell that orange. So it smells like orange. It's very lightweight very liquidy So once I lathered it on my scalp, then I rinsed it out and then went to the conditioner This is the Flora and curl organic rose and honey cream conditioner. Let's get the conditioner a nice little whiff. Oh No, I Don't know what this smells like, but I don't Like it. It kind of smells like toothpaste. I'm getting a dental vibe like a weird orthodontist Toothpaste but apparently I'm not alone So let me now read some of the comments that you guys had about the smell of Flora and curl These products are fine, but I don't like the smell gave my curls great definition, but does not smell pleasant Hate the smell Subpar results used only once and now in the product graveyard You never want to be in the product graveyard love it, but the smell is a bit too strong I like the leaving conditioner, but the smell isn't too great. Love it. The smell is just heart emoji Teach your zone the smell is not my favorite, but they got the job done good thing the heavy floral smell goes away I feel the same way So it's not that they smell like Like a bad scent. It's just a weird plant smell But hey, don't base things off of just Sense because if we all like the same smell, we'd all be wearing the same perfume and now it's time to try the conditioner I applied a couple pumps to each side smooth it in and Notice a struggle. I was not able to detangle with this conditioner. It didn't really have any slip and It made me just want to use more and more and more and that's not what you want from a product that isn't cheap You can't just go ham on your pumps so I Eventually gave up because I read on the back of the bottle that it says that you're supposed to place it in a shower Cap and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse it out thoroughly and because I knew that I had a Leave in detangler to try I decided not to continue to detangle and just let it sit in my hair under a shower cap So after I got the shower, I decided to put on my makeup Let it sit in my hair for probably more than 15 minutes to see if it kind of loosened up my curls So now that I'm out the shower, I actually have the conditioner still in my hair I want to see if it was going to be easier to detangle once I let it sit So let's just try to do some little finger detangling Okay much better So It's better. I still prefer to have a conditioner that has good slip like instantly but oh God I'm still not exactly blown away, but I'm actually gonna stop because they do have a leave-in detangler So I want to see how well this detangle so I'm gonna rinse out this conditioner then put in the leave-in conditioner and Detangle with that. Alrighty, let's see. This is What is the smell it's like a weird gum smell I don't know. It's like a weird candy like pezz You guys calm it. Let me know what this smells like. It's so weird. It's like sweet, but I Don't know. So let's see if this detangles. Oh My hair's still dripping wet. Oh Okay Okay, okay. Now we're talking see how I could just glide through Respect So respect of my name Okay This is what we're gonna have to do if you get the conditioner Just condition with it. Let it sit in your hair while you do the rest of your shower and then Detangle with this leave-in All right, that was impressive once again before knotted detangler Smooth it in Now we're rolling we're rolling rolling rolling. I did then apply the sweet hibiscus curl defining gel This has marshmallow root and hibiscus botanicals to define and shape your curls. Oh Another unpleasant scent the sweet hibiscus curl defining gel It has a consistency similar to like a flax seed gel where it's kind of gooey But let's go ahead and apply this Hair is very juicy right now So now I'm gonna let this air dry for as long as possible Then I'm gonna do some diffusing and we'll see how it looks and I'm back It's been about an hour My hair is starting to form a little bit of a cast which is a good sign But now I'm going to diffuse and see how that looks but before I do that I realized I kind of rushed through the application process because I was kind of in a hurry But I want to mention that the leave-in conditioner says it's going to release knots and tangles which it did a conditioning cream Cocktailed with organic rose coconut and honey And then the gel says it's a botanically infused gel for healthy to find curls It's made with a marshmallow root hibiscus Provitamin B to naturally nourish and hold your curls Okay, I like my hold We gonna see apply a pea-sized amount Let's diffuse look see shall we oh my curls look nice and shiny the curl definition isn't Insane like my curls look good, but as you can see like this Like they're they're kind of loose Instead of like tight ringlets See that I Still smell it I was hoping I would go away. Maybe we'll in time But the hold is completely gone which does happen when you diffuse and or use a leave-in first so that could be on me I think I'm gonna try this again tomorrow and refresh with the gel on its own to see how it looks on day two Let's see if I can kind of fluff it out get some more volume. I mean it looks pretty But my curls aren't as poppin as I know they could be so I'm gonna end things here. I'm gonna put my hair up into a pineapple sleep on a silk pillowcase tonight and Then I will refresh with the gel only without the leave-in and We'll see how my day two curls look and we're back for day two for a nice little refresh Let's see how it looks So the hold is completely gone It's decent. I don't know what's happening over here. This did not do well, but let's refresh Don't forget to hit that part right But now let's go in with the gel Once again, yes, even that's more than a pea size. Nah fam. I can't do that All right, so I'm gonna do a little bit better job at applying this time Really getting each section Not using a dime size sorry Oh, it's pretty good to me I'm gonna let this dry then probably diffuse to get more volume Then we'll come back and see how this gel works on its own. Alrighty I've let it sit for not too long Maybe like 15 minutes and it already is starting to form a cast which is what I like a fast Cast forming gel. So I'm gonna start diffusing right now and see how big we can get this. What is this? That's not cute That's pretty my ringlets look way more defined today than they did yesterday. What is up with these? These curls are just being wonky I might need to hit this with some olaplex. So let's shake it out for some volume So when I shake I do see a little like Particles I don't know if you guys can see that but Is it flaking? Hmm. It does look cute though. So I'm liking my hair better on day two versus day one My ringlets look more defined. I do think that this gel also gives me some elongation I'm not getting too much shrinkage and it's doing a pretty good job at keeping my length So my hair looks a little longer than it normally does which is cool But with the elongation comes a little bit less of a ringlet, but I don't mind it It's all about the look that you're going for Let's see what you guys had to say about the gel I want to love it But the first time I used the gel didn't hold long. It did not work for me No hold not enough moisture love the gel mixed with the cream so good And it's had Ulta beauty. I've tried it a couple times, but I get crazy proud of flakes Hmm Maybe that's what all those white particles were Didn't care for the cream shampoo and conditioner But the curl lotion and gel ain't that bad though wanted to love didn't love It was just like adding sticky water to my hair. They didn't work for me I don't know if I got a bad gel, but it smells bad. Make sure your hair extremely soft Didn't work on me no moisture and hold and the smell is too strong It's a good product, but the gel isn't for people who want hold That's fair. I did not like the clay mask and the gel flaked and they're overpriced Hmm So I think it too many responses on this one because not many people have tried this line And I understand a lot of you wait for me to give you the stamp of approval before you buy products But I would have to agree Not a fan of the smells at all, but the gel did give me some nice results My curls look defined But there is no hold and I am someone that likes strong hold So I would have to keep applying a lot every day to get the kind of hold that I desire And I don't see it getting me to like day five or six and honestly as I just kind of go like this I see more little particles flying around. I don't know if you can see them on camera, but That could be because I'm using more product than I'm supposed to Usually when a very natural ingredient product says to just use a little bit It's because it could flake So it's like I either use a pea size like you told me to and don't get any hold Or I use a normal amount of gel and then I get these little Flakes, what did you guys think of the brand overall? hate it It's good, but not my favorite. I use it when I run out of my regular stuff Did not work for me doesn't work on my 3b hair for some reason I've tried it a couple times, but I get crazy product flakes my favorite brand obsessed with them Plus their uk black owned brand wanted to love didn't love love it leaves my hair amazing Didn't like it. I only use the styling products and dried up my curls curls were defined But dry flora curl is the best. I love them love Um, no, what a waste of space does nothing the scent is really too strong But the product work really well for my curls love it amazing a big no Love it. One of my favorites great for moisture and has good hold This just shows you how everybody's hair is different opinions are just opinions The best thing you could do is to just try it for yourself But we're getting a bunch of mixed reviews right now So in conclusion a lot of mixed reviews on these But let's talk about the pros and the cons. I absolutely love the packaging That was the first thing that got me because their bottles just look really cute and I'm a sucker for cute packaging I'm really happy that they are now an Ulta beauty. I'm glad that they're a black owned brand And I love that they want really really really natural ingredients So natural though that I'm not a fan of the smell, but there's no synthetic fragrances in them So you kind of get whatever the plant smells like I understand and because you're getting such good ingredients There is going to be a higher price point. So I don't know if I would want to spin this much on products that I'm not in love with for wash day The shampoo smells good smells like fruits does a decent job at lathering the conditioner No slip not a fan when it comes to the leave-in detangler. It has a really good slip I just hate the smell and the gel does work It gives me a good day one kind of hair But you have to apply more and more and more to keep that definition And the more you add the better chances you have of seeing flakes Which is not a good thing if you're looking to try these products They are available at Ulta beauty and if you've already tried them leave me a comment Let me know what you think of these products If you want more views like this and you want to be included in the conversation Make sure you follow me on instagram at Ms. Bianca Renee You also can follow me on twitter and tik tok also at Ms. Bianca Renee I post new videos every week.
