 Hey, curl friends, I'm Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today. And today, I have a new brand that is making a new appearance on my channel for the very first time, which is the brand Ceremonia. Ceremonia is a clean hair brand rooted in a Latinx heritage. Very new, small business, Latina woman owned, all things I'm here for. Today's video is sponsored by Ceremonia because they wanted me to show you all of their products in their full line. But the thing that I love most about working with Ceremonia is that they didn't rush me. They sent me the products and they actually gave me a whole month to try them out so I can give my honest opinion per usual. But instead of just doing like a first impression type of video, I actually got to really use the products more than once and really test to see how well these products work. And they were so confident that they actually sent me a microscope to physically look and keep track of my scalp's health progress. So if you were ever skeptical about a sponsored video, we're showing all the proof today, literally to the scalp via microscope. So what will I be using? I will be showing you how I washed my hair with the Ceremonia All-In-One Shampoo as well as their All-In-One Conditioner. As you can see from the bottles, I have been using it more than once and then I'm also using their Ceremonia Hairichid Scalp Oil that you use pretty much before your wash days. So if I wash my hair four times this month, I use it four times and that's where I am on this bottle after four uses. And then I have one styling product which you guys might have seen on my Instagram before, the Vitalizing Super Serum Pecky Curl Activator. So I'm gonna use all these products again and show you how well they worked on my hair and give you my honest opinion. So let's start from the beginning where my scalp was full of product, build up on a very much needed wash day. So I'm gonna play the video back here on my phone. So as you can see, it's pretty crazy to actually witness like each hair come out of our scalp and at the very root or base of my hair, it's pretty congested. We got some product build up going on there. It's definitely wash day. Oh, oh that's nasty. We got some big chunks, some big flakes. Mm-mm-mm, time to go. So this is how my scalp was looking on day one before I ever used any of the Ceremonia products. So now this is gonna be day one of using the Ceremonia Heritage Scalp Remedy Oil. I believe it was pronounced estete de mosca and I just put a couple drops, massaged it into my scalp and I let it sit on my scalp all through the night and then I washed my hair in the morning. So if you wanna use this, you can either use it at night while you sleep or 10 or 15 minutes before your shower. Now after watching the videos on their website, I realized that I probably didn't even use enough. I was kind of just doing drops like I usually do for like my hair growth oils but this I could have actually just done rows throughout my scalp to really get a lot in there and let it soak in. So I'm gonna continue to use this and continue to use even more than I did prior. So if you go to the website, this scalp oil is an award winning formula. It's one for best scalp oil in women's health 2021 beauty awards. Okay, you better get your trophies. This oil promotes healthy hair, nourishes and magnifies shine while smoothing down cuticles to combat frizz. It says inspired by the long cherished acetate de mosquat derived from the Dominican Republic. Wow, this brand is just full of heritage. After letting it soak into my scalp all night, I then wash my hair the next day. Starting off in the shower, I use the Ceremonia all in one. All right, I'm apparently not Latin enough to pronounce these products. Let me go to... Al shampoo de yuca y witch hazel y al acondicionador de Ceremonia. Conoce al shampoo de yuca y... What? Conoce al shampoo de yuca y witch hazel. Oh, shampoo! I was like, where does it say shampoo? C-H-A-M-P-U, shampoo. I'm learning a lot today. Shampoo de yuca and witch hazel. The shampoo smells amazing, absolutely love it. So the shampoo will cleanse your hair without stripping the natural oils from your scalp. It'll boost shine while also helping to strengthen your strands and reduce frizz. It does suds up just like I like it and it felt really moisturizing instead of like a drying, super cleansing shampoo. But as you will see from my magnifying results, it does do a great job. So now I'm gonna rinse out the shampoo and now grab the all-in-one conditioner. Let's go back to the video. Conoce al shampoo de yuca y witch hazel y al acondicionador de cupú azul y castor. I can, what? One more time. Only being able to speak English is so lame. Sorry. De capú ac... Here's the name of the product. It sounds a lot better when they say it on the website. But it's their all-in-one conditioner that is going to strengthen and deeply hydrate your hair, smooth hair without the frizz while castor oil conditions the hair from an unparalleled shine, healthy hair that looks good on you. So it has a decent amount of slip but I will say that the thing that really makes this conditioner stand out from some other conditioners that I've used is that even after I rinsed it out, my hair still looks shiny and moisturized. I've noticed that sometimes the conditioner will feel great, have great slip in the moment and then once I rinse it out, it's like I rinsed out all the goodness. But when I did rinse out this conditioner, my hair still looked very thick and juicy. So I was very, very happy with that, especially when your hair looks like that before you even apply your styling products. Now let me show you how I style my hair. You see the Ceremonia Pecky Curl Activator, Vitalizing Super Serum. I have been using this before, as you can see, I'm already like halfway through my bottle, so I have been using this and it always gives me like a very light, product-less feeling look, like very fluffy, soft curls. It smells so good. It's very, I don't know, what does that smell like? I guess it's kind of floral. Now because I do love this, I do think that my only request is going to be that we need a much bigger bottle than this because you're gonna wanna use it all the time and you're gonna run out if you have a lot of hair. So I know you guys are a small new business, so I think the next launch, we need large bottles. That would be my request. I'm going to smooth and scrunch this very lightweight serum into my curls. The Pecky Curl Activator is a weightless, milky serum for the ultimate hair wellness and curls. Our formula maximizes definition with an added curl boost, while helping to provide a central conditioning and hydration for a nourishing style ritual, like so. So I'm gonna let this air dry for a little bit, come back to diffuse and show you the final results. And I'm back and I'm changing it a little bit, I've already cuted them before. But now, let me show you how my hair just air dried, already really cute, and it's kind of like 99% dry, but I still like to diffuse just to get a little bit more volume, so let's just go ahead and do that and see how it looks. But just even air dried, very nice. And that is how I got to this point right here. I will say that the most common theme of my Switch It Up Challenge is definitely using light hold products. I haven't used as many light hold products ever as I have this year with my Switch It Up Challenge. So this is definitely a light hold, there's absolutely no crunch. So if you do not like crunchy curls, you are going to love the Pecky Curl Activator. It gives me that big volumize look without feeling weighed down at all. I would kind of compare this to like the days where you want like that no makeup makeup look or like a tinted moisturizer, BB cream, just to make it feel and look like skin. This product just makes your hair look and feel like hair. It doesn't feel like I have any product in it, even though I do, so it's still giving me that definition and fighting back some frizz, but I honestly don't feel like I have any product in my hair. So if you love that just like supernatural hair, feeling hair, where it's still soft, bouncy and defined, this is gonna be a good option for you. But now the moment you've been waiting for, let me show you my after results of using the Ceremonia Heritage Scalp Remedy Oil four times this month, either before my showers or throughout the night and after cleansing and clarifying with the all-in-one shampoo. All right, fresh out the shower, it's time to see how my scalp looks after using the Acete de Mosca for a month, which really just means like four times once a week because I wash my hair once a week. So this is me using it mostly during the night, but I did use this before my shower today 10, 15 minutes prior and then I used the shampoo and conditioner. So now let's see how my scalp looks. Okay, so I'm actually gonna record my reaction this time of me using this microscope because it is pretty cool, but let's just go ahead and find a nice piece of scalp to observe right down the middle, that should be good. Grab my start recording on here. Okay, let's observe. Ooh, okay, I could already tell this looks a lot better, way less build up than before, which really does speak to the shampoo as well, getting a nice clean. Oh yeah, look at that. Nice clean pores, let me rotate this. Wow, I just sprayed some water on my head so you can see the water, the moisture. Wow, look at that, way less congested. That is a good sign, I am impressed. No large flakes thus far, wow. It's crazy what our scalp actually looks like, huh? Okay, so I mean I respect Ceremonia for being like, look we got a good product, we can prove it, I'm gonna send you a microscope and you can show real before and after. So I do think that a lot of credit goes towards the shampoo, doing a nice cleanse. So I'm gonna continue to use this and use more than I did this month and try to remember to use it before every shower, might as well. So there you have it, the proof is in the footage. My scalp does look better than day one. And it honestly even looked better just after one use of their shampoo. But I do plan on continuing to use this before every wash day, just kinda like as a new ritual, just to give my scalp a little bit extra love in before I go in to shower. If you go to the website, you will see a bunch of reviews of people raving about this oil and how it has truly helped their scalp, keeping it clear, helping with hair growth. I do think that my hair is getting longer but I do use a lot of different things to make my hair grow so I'm not gonna say that just this alone made my hair grow but I'm sure it contributed to my now very beautiful length. And I'm all for adding new things to my hair routine that are going to truly help my hair's health. And that's what ceremony is all about. It's about using clean ingredients that are going to help your hair over time in the long run, not just like a quick fix to make it look pretty in the moment but to truly help with the health of your hair. So now let me give you a little 360 view of the curls. Very soft, lightweight, bouncy, defined volume for days.
