 Hey, curl friends, I'm Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today. And today I'm kicking off my Black History Month series where I'll be featuring black-owned brands all month long here on YouTube and on Instagram. We've actually already got things on and pop it on Instagram starting back on February 1st. So make sure you follow me at MsBianca Renee so you don't miss any more dope brands. But today, I'm gonna show you a new hair product that I know you're gonna love. So the brand that I'm featuring today is called Raw Intuition. This is a brand new small black-owned business and it's actually created by one of my friends, Kamar Brown. Kamar is someone that I went to college with. So fun fact, I went to Cal State Northridge. I was on the CSUN hip-hop team and we danced together and that's how we met. So she is now a celebrity hairstylist. She can do everything from weaves to braids to locks to crochet to twists. Like she could do all those amazing protective hairstyles that we wish we all could master. She has done hair for both Jenae Aiko and Jackie Aina. So I mean, if it's good enough for Jenae and Jackie, it's good enough for me. Speaking of Jackie, did you guys notice that I added her Forever Mood candles to my background? My candles are named Caked Up, Macha Business, Cuffing Season and Left On Red. And this one says you up. So I'm all about the names, the packaging. They're hilarious just like Jackie and they smell really good. So let's check out Forever Mood if you wanna support another black-owned business and at least follow Jackie on YouTube because she's the best. Now back to the product. This is the Raw Intuition Define Me Moisturizing Texture Foam. For curls, coils and waves, it tames frizz, defines and hydrates, it's non-flaking, has no sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, linolean or artificial colors. It also is silicone-free. So I told Kamara that's another big one. So she needs to add that to the label because we need to know that. But the hold on this, y'all are ready. If you followed me on Instagram, you already saw my first reaction, hence why we're here. So if you like the Dippity-Doo Girls Curls Jelly, if you like the Level 10 Strong Hold and Shower Style Fixer, you're one of my strong hold sisters. This one is also gonna be a must-have. Now I have had success using this on a refresh day and on day one hair, straight up the shower for my wash and goes. But Kamara has a very different hair texture than me. So I'm like type three curl, she's type four. And she uses this on her hair as well for twist outs to give you that good hold and definition. She also uses this to smooth down flyaways on protective styles. So it's a really great product that's very versatile. But let me show you exactly how I applied it to my hair today. So we have a little shake and let's do one, two, three pumps. The smell's kind of only there for a second and then it goes away. I'm not a huge fan of the smell. It actually kind of smells like medicine, but it doesn't linger. So with these results, I don't care. So it's like a very light, watery consistency. Gonna smooth it in there and scratch. It says that the fragrance is a peach essence. I do get a little hint of peach, but it's kind of like a peach medicine. But in my experience, once this dries, the scent is gone. Okay, I think we are all applied. I'm gonna let this air dry for as long as possible. And then I'll probably bust out the diffuser and we'll see the final results. And I'm back, freshly diffused and fluffed and the hold on this is amazing. But I will say that I have noticed when I use my Dyson diffuser, it really breaks the cast. So on a refresh day where I might not diffuse, I definitely see more hold if I just air dry. But since I did diffuse, it did break the cast. So even if you aren't really a fan of strong hold gel, the cast can be broken. So my curls aren't hard and crunchy, but they're really defined and I'm confident that this is going to last all week long. But I am gonna use a little bit more to even refresh tomorrow and I know my day to hair. So overall, I would say that this mousse can be what you want it to be. If you want that super hard strong hold cast all day, you should air dry and just do a minimal scrunching. If you don't like the hard cast, it could definitely be broken by diffusing or just by really scrunching it all out. And right now I have a nice soft flexible hold that's still giving me like a nice fluffy bounce to it. So depending on how much you use and how much you diffuse or scrunch after, you can find your level of desired hold. Let me do a full 360. Some products just make me like happy. Like a lot of products work on my hair, but not all of them bring me joy. So my curls are looking shiny, defined, and this is day one hair. If I can use a product on day one and be happy with my results, you're a keeper. So as many of you know, this year I've started the Switch It Up Challenge. So I'm challenging you to switch it up and maybe try a new brand that you've never used before. Maybe you've never used a foam before. This is definitely my strongest hold moose slash foam that I own. So shout out to Kamara Raw Intuition. You really did it with this one. This is your very first product and it's amazing. So I'm very proud of you. I really didn't wanna have to crush your dreams if I did not like it, but luckily I do. Like you know when your friends make something, maybe they wanna be a rapper, they gotta send you their mixtape, you gotta download SoundCloud and you're just like, ugh. So if you're looking to switch it up and try a brand new business that is black-owned, woman-owned, and a really bomb, it's only $14.99. This is a 5.3 ounce bottle. It's available only on her website right now, so I will link her website in the description box. And she gave me a promo code to be looking to save some money, use code Bianca.
