If you're already subscribed, welcome back. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you guys a new product that I picked up from my Dollar General, my local Dollar General store. And this is from the African Pride brand. They released a new line called Moisture Miracle. This line has several different options that you can definitely choose from that fits your natural hair needs. Now, I've always been a fan of African Pride. I've used their products before and I will say that I'm very well pleased. I've never had a problem with any of their products. Now, this particular collection that they have released is crafted for specific needs of quality and curly textures. Every product is made with a signature blend of rich ingredients of African origin specifically selected to deliver intense moisture and the benefits you need in every step of your natural routine. Each of these products contain no parabens, no mineral oils, no sulfates, and no petroleum. And each of these items are 12 fluid ounces each. I'm very excited I have the opportunity to give them a try for you and review them for you and also to do a demo. Now, the first product in their collection is the Honey and Coconut Oil Shampoo. This product is designed to nourish and shine, hydrate and elongate natural curls and coals. It's sulfate-free and it's color-safe. The coconut oil deeply conditions and hydrates and helps repair. The honey naturally retains moisture and adds shine. The next item in their collection is the Honey Chocolate and Coconut Oil. This is the conditioner and this product claims to nourish and restore. It helps to repair and replenish moisture to the natural curls and curls. Also sulfate-free and color-safe. Now, after using the shampoo you do have to leave the conditioner on for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse out thoroughly. The coconut oil deeply conditions and hydrates and helps repair. The honey naturally retains moisture and adds shine. And the cacao powder or chocolate restores and prevents damage and helps promote hair growth. And the last product I got in their collection is the Shea Butter and Flax Seed Oil. This is the Moisture and Define Curling Cream. This product is intended to shape, hydrate, and add shine to your natural curls and coals. The Shea Butter deeply moisturizes and helps strengthen and protect your hair. And the Flax Seed Oil provides natural hold and restore shine. This curling cream is great for twist outs, braid outs, finger coals, rod sets, and wash and goes. So I have my hair in a previous style. I'm about to take it down right now so I can get started on this wash day. Super excited to try each of these products and see how they work for my hair. And at the end of the video I will give you my thorough thoughts and opinions on each of these products. So without further ado, let's get started. I'm just going to share with you my thoughts on each one of these items starting with the shampoo. Now the shampoo claims it is nourishing, it gives shine, hydrates, elongates, natural curls, and curls. And I must say that it is true to the description. So everything that it says that it was going to do it did for my hair. I did feel some other benefits such as slip, had really great slip with this product. It was very detangling. I did not have to use a Y2 comb or any styling tools just to be able to detangle my hair. I simply used my fingers and I was able to glide through my hair on my kinks and coals and the shampoo was easily detangling my hair strands as I went along with the shampoo. It felt very cleansing on my hair. My hair felt very clean. It did feel very moisturizing just like the product in the brand and line is meant for. Very moisturizing. I did feel the moisture. I did for the hydration of the ingredients, the products on my hair. So definitely you know true to the benefits that it does give you that moisture. It makes your hair feel really soft, very manageable as your shampoo and your hair to get it prepared for the conditioning part of it. And of course it smelled really great. There was a very pleasant scent to it. It's not an overbearing strong smell. It's very light fragrance that it smells really good. So I was really pleased with the smell of this product. What I like most about the shampoo is as soon as it made contact with my hair it was very lathering, extremely lathering on contact. So the latherization of this product is really really great. It was very easy to get the product dispensed out of the bottle. So I didn't have any problems getting the product out of the bottle into my hand, into my hair. So no problems there. I did notice it was making my hair and my curls pop as I was shampooing my hair. So I really like that feature about this product. Now the consistency of the shampoo it is slightly runny. It is very, it's liquidy. It's not a thick consistency. It's very smooth. It's not tacky. It's not sticky because these products they do have honey in them. So they're not sticky products at all. The packaging of this product also is really nice. Just a very you know I don't want to say simple but it just has a nice very elegant look to it compared to the other products that African Pride has. I would say this one does stand out. It doesn't have like the orange and the white colors that you would normally see with African Pride. For the benefits my hair got out of this product I would definitely repurchase this shampoo again. Now for the conditioner and I'm trying to make this quick because my battery's about to die. The purpose of the conditioner is to nourish and restore and repair and replenish the moisture to your coals and curls. Now upon contact of this product initially I kind of was like I don't know if my hair is liking this product and it could because of the chocolate or the cocoa that's in here the cocoa powder or chocolate that's in here. The roots of my hair felt very moisturized when I was applying the product to my hair but as I got to the ends my ends started feeling a little rough with this product so I had to keep kind of putting it on and I don't know if my hair was maybe kind of drawing out. I don't know but it was still wet because I just washed out the shampoo so I don't know what was going on but I think with the repair and the replenish when it says repair for some reason I think there's some protein in here and that may have something to do with it. I don't know. I have to take a look at the ingredients again but I could definitely smell the chocolate in here. It does have a light chocolatey smell so it wasn't overpowering anything like that. It did feel moisturizing to an extent. I would not give it a full five stars when it comes to the moisture. I would give it maybe a three and a half four the max. I just felt like I just had to keep putting it on my hair but it was still good. It was still moisturizing. It's very messy because you know it just like chocolate all over your hands is what it feels like. So you know if you got something white on you know I would suggest putting on a t-shirt that has color t-shirt. I would suggest you know wearing a color t-shirt or a color towel and don't put on anything white just in case in my stain or something like that. It didn't really give me that that good slip that I look for in a conditioner. It had it had some slip but it wasn't the best slip. With this product I could detangle my hair with my fingers so I did not have to use any styling tools so I was happy about that because at first I was like there's a little iffy but I did not have to use any styling tools. For the ease of use I will say that the product is very thick in the bottle so it was a little difficult trying to get it to squeeze it out of the bottle so I had to keep hitting the bottle just to get it out. So I would like for this product to be in a pump but it's okay. I was able to still get it out but it is thick in the bottle. Now when you squeeze it out it is definitely very creamy texture very creamy consistency it's not tacky it's not sticky at all so it it's it feels like melted chocolate is what it feels like. Now as far as the packaging it's pretty much the same as the shampoo you have the same little you know snap up and down top there and you know same color same label so yeah very nice packaging. Now with the conditioner I will say that you would have to or at least I had to really work the conditioner out of my hair really well because it seems like it wasn't kind of coming out as good so I had to really work it so I had to make sure that the water was nice and clear because as you're washing it out of course it's gonna have like this this chocolatey it's almost like a chocolate it's like a grayish type of color like a chocolate gray color if it makes sense but the more you wash your hair once the water is nice and clear then you know the product is completely out of your hair. Would I buy the conditioner again? I probably would buy the conditioner again it's not like I said right up there with you know my ultimate top conditioners but it is still a really great conditioner and for the price I mean you can't really beat that so it works really great you know with the shampoo they definitely compliment each other so yeah I would buy the conditioner again sure so I sound like I'm trying to convince myself but no I will buy the conditioner again along with the shampoo now the last product is the curling cream moisturize and define this product is supposed to moisturize and define your hair now did I get that no I did not get that I definitely got the moisture but this is not a holding type of a curling cream like you think it would be this was to me my to me this was more like a leave-in conditioner is what this was and I was debating on whether to get the leave-in conditioner or to get the curling cream so I said let me get the curling cream because I have a lot of leave-in conditioners did it give me shape no it did not give me the shape did it give me the hydration yes it did give me the hydration it didn't give some some shine but it definitely gave me the hydration and the moisture in my hair this again this to me felt more like a leave-in conditioner just a conditioner more so than a I guess a styling type of a curling cream I have my hair these little Bantu nuts but I'm not really doing a twist out I just put it in this and the style just for to draw overnight but I'm I'll have it style completely different tomorrow and then it did feel like it was penetrating my hair I probably won't buy this one not to say it's not good this is good but it didn't give me what it claimed to give me which was which was shaped to my hair so I guess I was thinking this product was going to defy my curls but it's not I'm not really sure what a curling cream is because it didn't curl my hair it didn't give it any further definition than it already had not like I said it's not it's not that it's a bad product it is a good product and I wouldn't recommend it but it's more for my hair it's more of a leave-in conditioner feel all three of these products are great I will recommend purchasing all of these now this line has some other products as well there's a there's a detox mask and there's a pre-poo and there's an oil and I had to go to three different dollar stores to find these products just to find just these three like this is not even a whole line so not all of the dollar stores apparently carry this line so it's hard to find these items and it's even harder to find all of them in one setting in the store so I'll be checking some of the dollar stores to see if I can find the pre-poo as well as the masks but a little of this curling cream goes an extremely long way you do not need that much or your hair is gonna take forever for this stuff to dry it definitely has a just straight shade butter smell so that is the end of the video I hope you guys enjoy watching my demo and review on the African pride moisture miracle products if you liked this video don't forget to give it a big thumbs up don't forget to comment subscribe and share my content and to help me grow my channel it's just Janine I will see you guys on the next video bye guys
