 Hey Co-Friends! I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and oh excuse the crowd I must have forgot that I had it on. I just filmed the full makeup video using a whole collab of makeup from Barbie so I guess I'm just still in theme. Must have forgot. But today I'm going to be trying a product that I feel like a lot of you already know and love and I'm late to the game. So many curly people love this gel that I have actually never used. And that is the Kinky Curly Original Coiling Custard Natural Styling Gel. Eight fluid ounce bottle. It's black-owned and I got this from Target. The Kinky Curly Not Today is a conditioner and a tangler. Between that one and this one I feel like those are the two that everybody talks about. And the reason why I haven't really revisited Kinky Curly is because a long time ago I tried the not today and I remember not being impressed. For being a detangler I think I had a hard time detangling. Granted that was like years ago before I knew as much as I know about my hair now so I probably should give it another try. But I think because of that first experience it kind of just didn't make me too excited to try any other products. It was also a time where I didn't even like gels. Okay so if you follow my channel you know a lot has changed because now gels are my favorite. So let me go ahead and open this up and I'm going to refresh my hair today. I usually like trying gels. Ooh this is slimy. I usually like trying gels on day one here to see how it looks but it's not wash day so I'm not going to do that again. So I'm going to be doing a refresh on this day three hair. It would have looked even better if I actually did it yesterday but I did not. So I am going to re-wet this and I'm probably going to re-wet it even more than I normally do just to kind of pretend to see how this does on a soaking wet hair day. Now that my hair is damp it says to apply to damp or wet hair scrunch into medium sections. I always do too. Flip head upside down to create more volume and body. So it has a souffle googly it's like to say consistency. Whoa okay so this like kind of snot drip I hate to say. Reminds me of flax seed gel which is amazing gel but the consistency is a little bit more gooey than the original shea moisture curling souffle. Oh look at that. Okay okay so I'm going to just smooth this in. It's very slippery very similar to like flax seed gel. It smells like marshmallows. Love this smell. Wow I'm actually getting some more slip in there even though gels aren't really supposed to have slip but it's kind of detangling. I'm actually very proud of my hair for not being really tangled even on day three. Smoothing it in and then scrunching for definition. And just like that we are all applied. I'm going to let this air dry because I want to see what kind of cast it creates before I diffuse and then we'll diffuse to see the final look. One product one gel let's see if it's worth the hype. And now we're back with a full complete cast. So right now my hair is exactly how I want it to feel a little bit crunchy. So if you're new to the curly world you might feel this is going to be like ugh this gel is horrible. I'll make my hair all hard and stiff. No this is exactly where you want it to be. Because now you have the shine you have the definition. But now we're just going to scrunch out that cast like this to break it up and make it even fluffier. When I do this sometimes I just scrunch or I could diffuse and kind of move my hair from side to side to make it even bigger. So I think I want to diffuse just to get that final look but here is how it looks with a cast. I'm very happy with it. No lingering smell or anything. Definitely retained my length so it's not giving me too much shrinkage. Let's see how big we can make it. Okay so my hair is pretty much dry so I don't have to do too much diffusing per se. I kind of just focus it on my roots or any parts that weren't 100% dry. But I'm just going to continue to scrunch and break the cast. These are some fire results. I knew I was going to like it just off of the consistency alone. Like when I see this like googly jello I know my curls are going to like it. So because this is day 3 hair it's not as moisturized as it could be. So I would be curious to see how this would pair with the kinky curly knot today. Leave in the tangler first. I'll give it a second try. Try with the gel, the custard and I bet the results are bomb. There's maybe like a 5% hold left which I need to just let me know that I'm going to get through out the rest of the week. But it doesn't feel hard or crunchy at all anymore. So if you are someone that just gave up after that first initial cast, don't forget to scrunch and or diffuse to break the cast unless you live in a humid area or have kids. Let your kids leave the house with crunchy curls and they'll come home with soft curls. So let me know what you guys think. Do you already have this? Do you already love it? How late am I?
