Type 4 Wash n Go Routine Using Innersense Organic Beauty
Hey friends! I used Innersense Organic Beauty's collection on my latest wash n go, and here's how it went. I have very full type 4 hair, so I wanted to see if the collection was easy to use for non-professionals and if it would define and hold my tight coils and curls for about a week. I hope you enjoy the review, and thank you so much for tuning in! Remember to subscribe - xo 💋

zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed měsícem
I used a variety of brands and products to get this easy but super cute hairstyle for my friend's wedding! To my pleasant surprise, the hairstyle got better and better with time - I'll likely set all of my twist-outs like this moving forward. Thank you for watching. I know my energy started off a little slow, but I was going through a rough patch at the time of making this video. But it took a ...
Cécred by Beyoncé: My First Impressions & Honest Thoughts | Plus A Trim & Textured Blowout
zhlédnutí 1,9KPřed měsícem
I finally tried Cécred, the highly talked about haircare line from Beyoncé! I was also in need of a trim, so I used the collection to do a textured blowout instead of my usual wash-n-go or twist-out. These are my first impressions and honest thoughts. Also, I bought this collection with my own coin; it was not gifted through PR. Thanks for watching, and see you next week.

TPH by Taraji Scalp Care Review | I Wanted To See If It'd Keep My Scalp Clean For a Week
zhlédnutí 278Před 2 měsíci
My scalp is very problematic so I wanted see if Taraji P Henson's scalp collection would not only relieve my scalp, but also maintain my scalp's cleanliness and balance for a full week until my next wash day. Additionally, I did a twist-out using stylers from Black-owned indie brand Moisture Love. Here's my honest review with first impressions and a post-week update! Hope you enjoy it and find ...
If you’re a believer in Christ be careful using this product as it was made using ‘rituals’ . Refer to the website under the story to read it. Just please be careful
Omg your hair is gorgeous and thick! I love the shape of it too. How long did it take you to get to that length? Love the demo and review. I love me some Cécred truly. It works well on my relaxed pixie and it honestly makes my hair grow faster than I’d like since I’m bald headed by choice. I recently decided to transition back to natural because my active lifestyle is making it difficult to keep the pixie up, so I’ll def keep Cécred in my arsenal. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Pretty ,😍
I love the hair, gelee works so well. I can't use it without using heat (diffuser) to dry and set my hair, it sucks all the humidity out of the air and makes it feel wet.
Your complexion is amazing beautiful and love the hair!🔥
Please do a protein treatment review! My hair desperately needs it.
@@najarayne1789 will do because same!
Ohhh out of Eden this is your life is a great album! “Meditate” was my favorite I used to blast that song all the time when that album came out 🙌🏾
@@tarac7227 yesssss! I used to love it too and was like let me revisit them. So glad I did!
LOL at the pointing comments. Essence always gonna give comedy with the curls 😂
🤣🤣🤣
13:27 looooooove day 2s look🤭🤭🤭👑👑👑
@@journeysflava day 2 was my fave 🤗💖
Your hair got better and better throughout the days. I love my old hair as well, i feel like the shape and natural textures comes through more over the days.
Thank you, and I 100% agree. Old hair has more personality lol.
Gorgeous!!
Thank you so much 💖
Love the video😊 thank you for sharing
Of course! And thank you for watching 💕
I love it!!! Your hair is gorgeous! You confirmed my love for innersense, I was trying to find a good deep conditioner but I might try innersense hair mask…
Yes, I think Innersense is definitely worth a try! I've been loving the products. In this video I'm using the detox hair mask, and they also have a hydrating hair mask for restoring and repairing. And thank you for watching 💛
The best thing NY gave you was me 🫶🏾 also, I’m the ring leader of the Stacey hive. Eldest daughters stand up!!!
@@najarayne1789 omg she is gonna really take this comment to the head 😂😂😂
You are literally talking my language 😭 a clean space makes room for a clear mind space tooooo
It really does! And there've been times when I was having a depressive episode that I could only do a little, like the dishes or clearing and making my bed. But even just accomplishing what I could made me feel clearer, and proud of myself too. Cleaning and organizing have been game-changing for my mental health! Thanks for watching 💕
Products in the description box 💖
How long have you been growing it, i hope the curl pattern and volume ❤
@@leefortunate5764 thank you! I started transitioning from relaxer in 2009 and I big chopped the rest in 2010. Then in about 2012 I big chopped again because I’d never had a super short cut and wanted to try it out. That was my last major cut so I guess you can say I’ve been growing it since 2012 (I’ve had some cuts since but nothing to the scalp like then), and I’ve been 100% natural since 2010!
Your hair is so pretty!
Thank you!
Fenty Hair next pleeease! ❤🫧🧴
It just got better and better !! Love it
@@DearAmeerah thank you ☺️ ❤️
Just subscribed. Really enjoyed the video. ❤ WEDDINGS! The Haiirbath made my hair stripped and hard. Glad it worked for you. TFS! 😊
@@nancystanford427 thank you so much! And oh no, it’s the worst when a product strips your hair. So wild how products can work so differently on different hair types!
You're beautiful.are you Rwandan?
I love this long form vlogging style! It’s like a day in the life🙂
@@christil.leveille142 thank you! I definitely want to get better at it and do more!
You look like Rwandan,are you Rwandan?
I unfortunately don't know my original ancestry due to slavery. All of the family that I can trace was born in the U.S., so we have no way of knowing our roots. But it's always so cool to hear other people's thoughts on what I could be! What parts of me look like I could be Rwandan?
With a CE… not a SA… *side eye*🤣🤣🤣🤣 Instant Sub!!! You throw lite shade like me I love it! LOL
Lol I promise I wasn't being shady, but it did look that way. I'm alwayyyyyys making faces and sometimes my faces, my tone, and what I'm saying altogether make for an unintentional shady moment. But I'm cracking up because when I watched it back I was like "omg that looks so shady!" LOL 🤣. And thank you so much for watching 💖
@@EssenceGant I kinda figured that but wanted to tease just a lil bit…🤣 I was really low key projecting too because I’m a stickler for correct grammar and spelling so I definitely rolled my eyes a little bit when she first dropped the line… 🤣🤣🤣 But you are welcome, Queen. Love your hair, personality and content. I’ll be watching for more. Happy Hair to you Babes 💕🥰
@@SheebahBaby Thank you soooooooo much ❤❤❤
New subbie because I love your energy you’re so witty and charming!!!🩷
@@Ssonlyte awe thank youuuuuu ☺️💖
I can't wait to keep watching more of your videos ❣❣❣❣❣
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying it 💖
Why do you leave the water running when you're not using it? 😅 and it's not just you, most natural hair videos I watch the girlies just let the water run for an hour or 2 like ain't yall scared about the water bill? 😩 water bill is killing us in south africa, I just get anxious watching water get wasted, lol. Loved the review 👌🏾 ❤
Great review! And I agree, if you are in the southeast of the US where the humidity is suffocating and don’t have that Cécred moisture sealing lotion, you are missing out! That stuff is the TRUTH in this weather.
It's so good!
We love an informative beauty queen!!! 👸🏾❤
❤❤❤
Love the hair!!
@@psyourauntie thank you so much 😊
You are gorgeous all over❤
Wow thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I was really going through a lot at the time of this video. Thank you for watching ❤
How did you do that half up and half down?
I separated the bottom and top half and put the bottom half in a hair tie to keep it out of the way. Then I pulled out the two front pieces and put the top half in a ponytail with a hair tie, and wrapped a piece of hair around the hair tie. And then I just took the bottom half out and fluffed it. I def had to do it more slow and gentle than I would if my hair were straight though. I'll do a video on it too!
You are so pretty🙏🏾❤️❤️😍😍🥹🥹
Thank you so much 😭❤
im a new subscriber and omg the evolution of your hair during the week is goals! the shape is so beautiful! ❤
Awe thank you so much, and thank you for subscribing and watching! Can't wait to see more of you 🥲💕
Soooooo silly! Lmao I’m obsessed w your energy. Beautiful. New sub woooo! 😻🩷🥳
@@nicolesnotebook lol thank you 💕
Wow! Your second day hair ❤❤ absolutely beautiful!! New subbie for sure x
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Looking forward to connecting with you 💖
Your wash day is a full time job 😩 but it came out so cute!
Literally! That's why I often take myself out for a treat after. I feel like I earned it 🤣🤣🤣
Looks soooo good!
Staccccc 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
1. I knew the twist out would look good because the twists were fire! Looked so healthy and bouncy 2. I love the tips on throughout! 3. Love glimpses of your day to day through this 🤣(minus the disrespect of that wonderful person, Sasha I think her name was) 4.Yes you were shouting 5. I love all the days but the final day was my fave by far! 6 I would like to “borrow” read as steal the innersense gel to try on my twist out! Love this!!!
I am cracking UP 🤣🤣🤣. It's the itemized list for me! Thank you for watchiiiiiinnnnng!
Wow your hair looked so beautiful. I’m really impressed
Thank you so much! I was quite impressed by the products, too. Celebrity lines can be a toss-up, but Cecred worked really well on my hair!
You should have shut the water It was hard to hear you
Thank you and 100% agree; noted for next time! First time shooting in a hotel and the acoustics were super good, but that also made the background noise very prominent. Sitll new to CZcams and long-form content, so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you come back for future videos 💖
See, you're about to make me cop after seeing that level of lather. As a butt-length loc girly, literally nothing but a lil bit of DAWN gives me THAT kind of lather. Especially when trying to lift buildup!
Oh wow! Yea, the lather immediately stood out to me. A little product went a really long way, too.
Stacey keeping receipts so she won’t be villainized is big eldest daughter energy
She’s so petty 😂😂😂
“I don’t know if I did something wrong, but it’s not giving” after skipping an entire conditioning step 😂
Looking back I was like "okay, Essence, it was definitely you"🤣🤣🤣
That hair bounce is everything!🙌🏾
Thank you so much ☺️
I love the sister cameo ❤ can yall do a tutorial on trimming hair at home?
Thank you! And yes! She be acting like we overworking her with these trims but she'll do it. Deep down she loves it 🤣🤣🤣
Great review!! We’re so happy you like our Deeply Rooted Crew! 🌳💛
Thank y'all, I love it soooo much!
Your results were so cute especially that day 2 hair 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!
