 Trini girl natural. Hi everyone! Welcome to my channel. Today I'm excited to be talking about a couple items from the Sotanica Spring Bundle. So I did not get the spring bundle because I'm not bad but I did get a couple items sent to me as part of a prize. I have a video coming up about how to get free products so look out for that. But yeah, I got these two, the Sotanica Friswiz Coil Defining Leaven and the Sotanica Sprung Coil Boosting Jelly. So for the minute I got these I knew I was going to come on and review them because I know a lot of us are really interested in Sotanica so I knew I'd be wanting to try this out too. So I decided to just come on and show you how it works out for me. Here I am soaking wet. I'm using the Sotanica Friswiz Coil Defining Leaven and I have the Sprung Coil Boosting Jelly also from Sotanica. So this is my hair before I add any product. I guess spoiler alert, I did the other sections already. And I love this leaven. It's kind of a really creamy almost slimy light consistency but it's super moisturizing so I love it. And it's super defining so I guess it really does what it says in terms of that. I'm a little goes a long way I would say even though I'm heavy handed. So I haven't even really distributed it everywhere yet. Yeah I know I should wait longer but like this is so such a good leaven. So we keep working it in but it's like immediate definition and I guess frizz reduction I don't know. It smells great super moisturizing defining definitely going up to the top of the list and leaving for me. But not the top top but you know up on the top in my HD pile. So this is the leaven. I like to kill definition. I would like to try myself sometime. I'll try not to look at the view pile of this. Anyways so this is the leaven before the gel with the leaven alone. Love it. And now I'm going to add the gel. I just pumped out some. So it's an interesting texture because it's not slimy. It's almost creamy like a leaven but I can feel a little bit of carbon mon in there. So it's not slimy at all. It's more creamy I guess. This gel feels like a carbon mon gel which is not my thing exactly. But I got it. I want to thank you all for the price. I'm going to use it at least this once. I'm not too sure about the moisture. It's not an instant thing. So we'll see to more because I mean the leaven is already super moisturizing. The gel didn't seem to add anything to that. So this is it. I guess I'll have a final review for you when it dries. I love the leaven. The gel is okay so far. So let's check in the ingredients. But I'll do that when my hair is dry and I'll jump in after the rest of this video. So the first one I tried was this Frisbee's Curly Fining Leaven and here are the ingredients. It has sugar which my hair likes, beet sugar. Beet sugar is also humectant. Lots of humectants, lots of defining ingredients. Of course the humectants will help define your hair but also has some cellulose gum which is also a defining ingredient. Slippery Elm and Irish Moss are great for slip and they also provide a lot of moisture. Beet sugar provides a lot of moisture. Good stuff and all the stuff that I need. It's interesting that I don't really see oils in here. So of course the cellulose is kind of like an oil. It's like a fatty alcohol but I don't see a lot of oils which is kind of surprising. Maybe that's why I like it so much because it just really penetrated my hair. Glory Sun which I really like. I like the texture. I like how moisturizing it is. Great slip. Amazing slip and give my hair really good definition. So I really enjoyed using this. And next we have the Sprung Coil Boosting Jelly. Here are the ingredients. Not too sure on the sole part but I'll have to look that up. It has wheat germ oil which is really good for your hair especially now in the summer because it has SPF, high SPF so you can have to protect your hair from sun damage. It has cellulose gum which is a defining agent and sodium carbamor which is like the gelling agent and eco-styler. And then like just ginseng and a couple other stuff. When I saw the carbamor I was kind of disappointed because you know I don't really buy carbamor stuff. Of course I got this for free. I don't really buy carbamor gels except if it's eco-styler because it's just such a cheap ingredient that I'm not going to pay $10 or whatever for this much of a gel with carbamor being the main gelling ingredient. So it does also have some cellulose gum but just seeing that carbamor is like even if I love it I'm not going to incorporate it into my HD just because of that. But I was really excited to try it because everybody on Instagram has come down with this like perfect looking hair after using this so I thought ooh you know this is going to be great I'm going to try it. I'm going to love it. I used it yesterday which is Monday so this is actually day two. The label does say medium to firm hold. It does actually feel kind of like eco-styler in the sense that it gave me almost a light cast. It's not crunchy at all but just a light kind of cast. I clearly sent to it as well probably even with the amount of flour we sent. I really can't say that it worked for me so from the time that I put it on like I was super happy at my age I'm going to put it on after putting on this and when I put this on I was like flip is okay. It's in moisture like after I put this on my hair was super moisturized and when I put this on instead of adding moisture it kind of almost took it away and then when I looked at my hair afterwards I didn't see that definition. It almost kind of foams like leave my hair but my hair is wet and stuff foams in it sometimes like the chameleon's honey leaving and the jewellery directly leaving so the light foam is neither here nor there but it did seem to take away moisture and even possibly frizz my hair compared to just leaving so in terms of moisture and definition I found it almost took a step back compared to when I just put the leave in and then this morning I woke up and my hair is frizzy so I mean you should be able to see that. Like you can see the definition but you can see the frizz right alongside it and I usually have much better definition even when I just do conditioner I think I have more definition or less frizz I should say. My hair felt on the dry side frizzy not moisturized not super soft like how I like when I put on a gel especially on a natural gel or botanical gel I like my hair to feel super soft like giencadero chameleons but this felt like I want to be ecostylist so maybe like ecostylicals and waves but it didn't really give me the big hair that ecostylicals and waves does either just so it's not you know I don't know it's not big it's still kind of flat and but it's frizzy and it's not wonderful to the touch so it isn't crunchy so I don't hate touching it but it's kind of a little dry and there's a slight kind of cast and this is like a day two and it's completely frizzy I mean I don't mind frizz I don't mind shrinkage or anything so I'm pretty much easy to please in a sense so I would happily wrap this until wash day I'm not that upset with it but in terms of what I was hoping for for a kind of more natural gel I'm a little disappointed so sorry dad but this I just don't hate my hair I don't hate how it looks I don't hate how it feels but I don't love how it looks and I don't love how it feels either so so I guess that's it about that but most people I saw loved it so definitely my hair is weird if she has any product testers with my kind of wiry texture because I don't know but I'm one of the few people I guess who didn't really like this but I love this this is a new age this is my new favorite tautanica is leaving and this is definitely on my age list so love helpful people to see the review of these two products definitely let me know how it was for you if you tried it definitely don't be shy to try because I love this and most people except me love this so definitely get better go so that's it see you in the next one
