 You guys, so I'm back with another product review and today we're going to be reviewing products by the Adua Beauty line. Super excited to try these products. So I will send these products as a gift from one of my subbies. So thank you girl, you know who you are. So we're going to be doing these styling products first. Let's just jump right into it. Before we get into that, I really do like the name Adua and I looked it up on her website and it's basically a name from West Africa, Ghana. It's the name traditionally given to females born on a Monday. Okay, so very beautiful name. I have seen these products at Sephora. So yeah, you guys. So first up we have her leave-in conditioner. It says the Veil Mint leave-in conditioning styler made with Veilbop wintergreen spearmint peppermint oil. Okay. 16 ounces. And next up we have her curl defining cream made with the same exact ingredients, okay, which I really do. I'm going to appreciate Veilbop. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly. Wintergreen spearmint and peppermint oils, 16 ounces. Very, very, very nice size. I'm trying to determine whether or not I want to do a twist out or a nasty braid out. Okay. I think I'm going to end up doing a braid out. Okay. Let's just jump into the consistency. Now I have been using her leave-in conditioning styler. I've used it twice now and I do enjoy it. It has a pump, a pump that actually works. Not shady nobody, but I am. All right. So there we go. Very, very nice, very creamy. It has some texture to it. You can see there, it has a very light pleasant smell, okay. And then the curl defining cream, same type of scent as the leave-in conditioner. It has a, I'm very curious to see what the gel looks like, because it has almost like a jelly like, oh, oh, hmm, it's the consistency of like deep conditioner. This is a very thick product. I would venture out to say that a little bit goes a long way. You probably don't need a lot of this product, but I will probably be a little heavy-handed. It's very creamy though. And then lastly, we have the curl defining cream. Now you guys, I probably won't use a lot of this because I'm not sure how it will work. Just a little bit, okay. So yeah, this is definitely a, yeah, no, you really can't. I'll put that on my hand. I'm going to use a gel-y type consistency, so you can even see it wiggling like that. Very, very nice. So in my spray bottle here, I have a little bit of water. I will be lightly misting my hair with water, applying the leave-in enlarged sections, and then breaking it down into smaller sections, applying the styling cream along with the gel, just a little bit of the gel, and then sealing it in with oil. So yeah, let's just go ahead and get started. For your twists, I'm going to be honest with you, my scalp though feels extremely dry. So instead of the vinegar oil, which I have been using, I'm going to use that around my edges. I'm going to take some of this oil, put it on my fingertips, and yeah, my scalp feels really dry. Typically, I'll allow my hair to set for two days. I'm going somewhere tomorrow, so it's early in the morning here. I'm hoping more than 24 hours. That will have a good definition, okay? Hey, you guys, I'm getting ready to take down my braids and my twists, again, using the product spa. So I've had these in now for three days, so we shall see. Using a little bit of oil to help reduce frizz. All right, you guys, so like I stated, taking a little bit of hair oil, and I'm beginning to take down these braids slash twists. Now you want to make sure you really take your time when unraveling to reduce frizz. Now, y'all, these are high-end products. Just very quickly, I looked up the price for the deep conditioner alone. It runs $36 at Sephora. Nearly all of the products in the collection are over $20, so that is something to keep in mind. And I definitely know that you are paying for the ingredients because all of the products have very good ingredients listed. So yeah, the definition was on point. One thing that I do want to mention is that I use all of the products several times, but I noticed that when my hair was fairly damp before applying the leaving conditioner and the styler, I got the best result. So y'all, I'll do apologize that the lighting is not that great, but with everyone being at home right now, it's really hard for me to be consistent where I film my video. So anyway, continuing to unravel my hair, taking everything down, I absolutely do love the definition I'm getting from all of these products, y'all. But I'm going to save my final commentary towards the end here, continuing to separate. And next up, I will show you what my final results look like. I had to go into the back and really pick up my hair to get some volume. But yes, honey, look at this, shaking my hair a little bit for you guys. I will turn around towards the back so you can see the definition. And yeah, that is it. All right, you guys, I am done taking down my hair. And as a third time using these products, it was what I expected. I expected a lot more from the styling products, considering the price point. I have gotten better results with products that were literally half the cost. I will have to say out of all three of the products that I use so far, the leave-in conditioner has been my favorite. The curl defining gel, not so much. So I will be interested, not that I think that you should have to do this, but I would be interested to see what type of results I would get with the leave-in, the curl defining cream with another type of gel. I think that using these products alone will not give me the hold I was looking for because the first time I used them together, my twist literally lasted for three days. And that was it. When I could typically get seven to eight days of a good wear of a twist out, that's retwisting between, let's just be real. But this is what it looks like. Definition is on point. My hair is kind of frizzy towards the end, but I do feel like this will give me definitely a little bit longer wear than without using or incorporating the hair gel. So I will be reviewing their deep condition, which has great reviews, so I'm excited to try that. And that is it, you guys. Thank you so much for watching, and thank you as always to all my new subscribers. Take care.
