 Hey curl friends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee today and today The switch it up challenge has officially begun because I'm gonna switch up the type of styler that I usually go for because Riso's curls has just launched their light hold gel If you know me, I am a very team strong hold gel. I don't mind a little crunch I know how to break the cast They know how to diffuse and usually makes my curls last all week long But Riso's curls has three stylers now They have their curl defining cream, which was the first one then they release the refresh and detangle spray And we've all been begging for a gel so now they finally gave us a gel and can we just talk about the packaging? Like this is how you know, she's going to the next level. I love the ombre pink I specifically asked Julissa for a squeeze bottle. It's my favorite way to dispense products So thank you for that. I don't know if it was from you or not, but I'm gonna say it is and You get eight fluid ounces in here. It's just so cute. I'm gonna try this today and show you guys my results I'm a little nervous it being light hold But I did ask you guys on Instagram I said, why do you guys like light hold gel and the most common answer was you don't like that crunchy hard curl feeling Which is understandable and you also said that you get more volume from a light hold gel And I do love volume. So let's get right into it because I'm excited and my hair is wet and I don't want it to dry But I do think I want to do a little split test today because I want to see how it works Cocktailed with the curl defining cream and I want to see how it does on its own Now if you get a lot of moisture you could do the curl defining cream first and the refresh detangle The refresh and detangle spray is almost like a leave-in conditioner, which is usually used paired with a gel I'm someone who usually just uses one product like one gel So this side's gonna be my switched it up challenge side And this is gonna be my Bianca still curious about one product side. Let's start off with a little bit of the cream. Oh Let me take off my ring anyone else have to take off all their jewelry when they do their hair just me Just a little bit because if you add a cream styler or a leave-in first You are going to get rid of some of that cast and I'm just already nervous about it Not having too much of a cast So I'm gonna smooth this in there. Just like as a little step one the cream smells amazing That's such a beautiful floral scent smooth scratch scratch scratch scratch See how much better already looks So now I'm gonna grab the new light hold gel this gel has aloe flax seed time no sulfates no silicones no parabens It has the color of like a flax seed gel And it smells really good. It smells like the rest of the line. So it's like the signature resource curls line Gonna smooth it on there a little more just with product without Side one now, let's do one side with just the gel and see if we notice a difference So aloe vera is very moisturizing and it's good for both hair and scalp health flax seed nourishes hair boost shine and Improves definition some of my favorite gel of all time is DIY flax seed gel So I was very very excited to see that flax seed was one of the main ingredients in this gel Flax seed also gives you amazing hold so I'm always down for anything that will make it so I don't have to do a DIY project It also has time which promotes healthy hair growth. It's anti-inflammatory and soothing to the scalp This gel also has an ingredient called arginine, which is really good to help minimize hair loss by protecting the hair from Damage reducing the breakage and protects the overall hairs moisture barrier now at this point I could diffuse but diffusing Also will break the cast and I just I just really want to see what type of cast forms on my hair So I'm gonna let this air dry for as long as possible Then maybe do some light diffusing at the end So I'll be back and I'm back and my hair is still not dry If you do have a light hold anything or a cream styler does take my hair longer to dry And this is day one hair. So usually takes longer So although I wanted to air dry I'm going to do a little bit of diffusing just to get the ball rolling This side might have a little bit more of a cast in this one, but Very light hold either way. I do recommend using a strong hold gel when diffusing if you're afraid of frizz but Let's see how this goes. I am gonna use a very low heat and light fan speed It looks really pretty though Good job, Julissa! You've done it again! One thing I do like about my day one hair is like how there's no tangles. So like all my curls are individually Poppin! I do like that as I'm fluffing. I'm not seeing any flakes. So that's a really good sign Just enough hold. It kind of feels like the cast after you break out the cast of a strong hold gel cast and There you have it my final results using the new riso scrolls light hold gel. Which side do we like better? I Think they look the same I probably should stop doing split tests. I can never really tell a difference But I am happy to see that the light hold gel works just as well on its own even when it's not paired with the cream I do have maybe a little bit more hold on the side where I just used a gel which does make sense But either way my curls are not like hard and crunchy I think it's the perfect amount of hold that will please everybody and that's coming from a strong hold girl So that does say a lot. So my hair looks really good Especially for styling with a middle part which makes things more flatter and it's my day one here So I'm excited to see how my hair looks tomorrow when I refresh I'll probably take a picture and post it on Instagram or maybe I'll start utilizing YouTube stories because now there's stories here In Instagram too, so I'll try to show you guys my day two results. So for all this gel is Bianca Renee approved I'm so happy that I like it. I like it on its own and paired with the cream styler This is an eight fluid ounce bottle. It's available at race those curls calm Her original products like the shampoo conditioner and cream styler are available at Target But the gel is not in stores yet If you want to get a gel for yourself go to the race those curls website and of course I had to ask for a promo code for you guys So if you want to use code Bianca you get 10% off your order sleep me calm Let me know what you think which side do you think looks better? Are you a light hold gel kind of person or a strong hold gel person or your cream style type of person that should maybe Try a gel this year if that is you definitely go for the light hold gel This is a great way to like get your training wheels into the gel world.
