 Hi guys and welcome back to my channel, thanks so much for tuning in for another video. If you're new, welcome and don't forget to subscribe to my channel. If you're already subscribed, welcome back. So in today's video I'm going to be doing another one and done or wash and go using one product only. So if you have not seen my last one and done or one product wash and go, I'll put the link above there so you can click on it. So today I'm going to be using a product from the Caracare line and this is my first time purchasing anything from Caracare. I've seen their products numerous times in Sally's. I've also seen many YouTube videos about it, in particular my friend April Rae. April Rae TV is her channel, please check her out, she has an amazing channel. She talks a lot about Caracare, she is a huge Caracare fan. So finally I'm getting my first product from Caracare. So I only got one product, that's all I needed just for this style. So I decided to pick up the new product they have, which is the Curl Essence. This is the Moisturizing Curling Jelly. So I'm very excited to try this product, I've heard a lot about Caracare and their products for a while and I've heard that it's a really great brand so I'm very excited to try and see how it does on my hair. So I'm comparing this product to the last one I did for my one product wash and go, which is from Talia Wajid Curly Curl Cream. So that product was much thicker and denser and it required my hair to be drenched in order to work the product with my hair. So I did have a really great turnout with that product, so I'm hoping I will get a really great turnout with this product as well. So my hair is freshly washed, I just have it pinned up, I have no product in my hair whatsoever, it's just dripping wet. So the product claims of this product, it says it's for natural 3 to 4 type hair, I am between 3 and 4 type hair, it says that it's moisturizing, it says it will leave your hair soft, manageable, healthy, great hold and freeze free definition without flaking or leaving behind a chalky cast on your hair, it's free of sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, valethate, phthalates, phthalates, phthalates and petroleum. It's alcohol free for superb moisture when setting curls and coals. Let me also take a look, let me take a look at the inside, I need to show you all the inside of it. So the consistency of this product, it's kind of watery, it's definitely a lot looser than the Curly Curl Cream from Talia Wajid. I can't lean it over all the way without wasting it so I'm just going to zoom the camera down. And just to check the consistency of the product, it definitely feels like a very moisturizing product, very slimy, about slimy consistency, it doesn't feel sticky or tacky, so it feels really good and it smells really good as well. So I'm very excited to try this product, we're going to go ahead and jump right into the video, get started and we'll just see how my hair turns out with this product and I'll give you my thoughts and opinions at the end of the video. So without further ado, let's get started. Moisturizing Curling Jelly. So the product claims, is that it's moisturizing? I would say yes it is moisturizing, it definitely felt moisturizing. I would say that it did define my curls. As far as the definition, it did give me definition for my hair, it did give some definement, a very soft moisturizing hold. As far as the Frisco, I would say, I can't see it, I have to look at the mirror. I feel like when it dries, it's definitely going to be a frizzy blush. On the left hand side, as soon as I applied this product to my hair, my hair was still wet, my hair tensed up. My hair was like, girl, what is you doing? My hair tensed up really bad and it was hard to get the product into my hair as far as the slip goes and the manageability, it just was not happening. Again, no product on this side, just straight gel that I was using and my cuticles just closed up. They just immediately just shut down. It just drew up my hair tensed and it was very difficult getting the product work through my hair. My hair did not like it, it just did not like it. So I had to stop, as you saw, and this was supposed to have been a one and done or one product wash and go, that just wasn't happening. So I had to end up using the TGIN because I felt like it needed some type of a base of product to be able to get the product, the gel work better into my hair. And so I noticed that once I applied the Buttercream on my hair and then applied the Curling Jelly, it was definitely more manageable and softer and I could work the product better into my hair. It feels very strawy on this side. This side is definitely more fuller and more softer, more manageable. This product retails like $6 and some change. This is a 11 ounce, 11 point, 25 ounce jar. I would not buy this product again. It just didn't do it for my hair. Not to not care of hair because I'm pretty sure they have other products in their line that I would probably like and I'll try some other products. But this Moisturizing Jelly, I just wasn't enthused. It just didn't do it for me. I wanted to like this product. I thought that I would like this product but again my hair just tensed up upon application of it and it was just kind of like a wrap from there. Not thrilled, not impressed but that's okay. Got some other products we can try in their line and I'll be trying some other products and bringing it your way and see if I have a better outcome than this time around. So my battery died again. I hate that. But anyway, that gave my hair time to dry so I'm back on camera. But I figured since my battery was charging, let me just go ahead and just let this air dry and that way I can see if there's a cast, if there's any flaking or just have my hair looks and feels once it's fully dry. What I noticed on the side where I did just the Moisturizing Jelly only, it feels a little crunchier. It definitely has a little bit more frizz. It looks dry and it's still kind of shriveled up a little bit more. It has more shine on this side, on the right side than the left side. The shrinkage is definitely real. I have major, major hair shrinkage and I ain't even about to turn my hair around and look at the back because I ain't going to tell them what lies behind in the back because, oof. And I don't see any flaking. I don't see any residue. It looks like my hair dried fairly clear. So I just used my trusty little pick and just picked it out. Just picked my roots up just to give it some lift. Yeah.
