Hey Elaina! Good to see you and happy to hear that you're doing well. Can't wait for the new videos!
Hi Rae! Thank you!🙏🏽💖
Hey girl hey! Welcome back!
Hey, hey! Thank you!🙏🏽💖
OMG I was just thinking about you 🤓 as soon as I turned on CZcams you popped up in my recommended list. I'm so happy you're coming back and can't wait to see what you have in-store for us. You have a beautiful personality that made me smile for the first time today as soon as I saw you. Thanks for updating us🫶🏾
Hey Love! Thank you!🙏🏽💖
You are lovely!
Thank you.🙏🏽 And thanks for watching!😉
I just made this, and my family destroyed it. Sis thanks for sharing ❤😊
You're welcome! Glad you tried it and glad your family loved it!😉 Thank you so much for watching!🙏🏽
Hello Camille, my name is Debra I had to leave you a message I loved and enjoyed your presentation to a point where I actually like you I love when you kept saying the word SMELL it just the way you say it it kinda turns me on maybe that's why I keep looking at your nice presentation dealing with honey 🍯 Sincerely Debra ❤
I just bought this product on Amazon about 2 weeks ago. I am just trying to use the Aloe moisturizing oil gel in the jar. So we'll see 👀 if it works for me like it seem to work for you Sista Queen 👑 of Zion Yashar'al. Shalom, Salaam my Hebrew Yashar'alite Sista.......!!! 💋💞❤️🔥🥰👑🕎👑😍💝💕👄
Hi, yes, let us know how it works for you. Thanks for watching!🙏🏽 Blessings right back to you.💖
Thank you this was so helpful 🥰
You're welcome! 😊 Thanks for watching!🙏🏽
@ Love, Lai I know you reviewed Camille Rose's Honey Hydrate product 3 years ago and you loved it. I'm curious if you still feel the same way about it? I've tried it and it was awful! I looked at the ingredients and it had citrus, lemon, salt, sugar cane, honey, and sugar maple, fruit extract, and citric acid 😢 it also didn't list if it was paraben, silicone and sulfate free😢
Thank you so much for the review. I absolutely love it too
Your welcome!😊 Thanks for watching!🙏🏽
Wow! Your curls have beautiful definition. I just purchased this leave in conditioner. I can't wait to try it on my hair.
Thank you so much!🙏🏽 Let us know how it works for you.😊
Maybe because blue magic is considered a grease and they are making leave in conditioner which it may be the leave in try another leave in.
Cute
Thank you!🙏🏽😊
Do you recommend this product if you’re going to blow dry your hair or just for wash & goes ?
Good question! I've never used it and then blow dried my hair. It is a thick product and definitely coats the strands. If I tried it for blow drying I would definitely let it soak into my hair for a few minutes first, then see how the hair feels before hand. If you try it come back and let us know how it worked out.😉 Thanks for watching. 🙏🏽
I like you. You're cool. You're making me laugh.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!🙏🏽😊
It does get warm.I freaking love this stuff and i'm a white girl
It is bomb! Doesn't matter what color you are! If it works for you that's all that matters! Thanks for watching love!😉
You got the cap in the box???
Hi, no only gloves come in the box. Thanks for watching. 😊
I have never used Eco. I have a question; How do you refresh your wash and go with grease ?
For me this gel still had holding power, so I didn't refresh. I wash my hair once a week and if the wash and go doesn't last the entire week I will usually put my hair up in a puff. 💁🏽♀️ Thanks for watching. 😊
I have started to use this product. I like it a lot. I have not tried much curl cream but this is the best one I’ve tried. Anyone have a better product to try??
Thanks for watching! Glad it works for you!😊
@@Love_Lai_xo would you suggest something better that I can try?
I like the Nature's Little Secret Irish Moss Stying Cream. It has nice hold & keeps your hair moisturized. It's good stuff!😉
@@Love_Lai_xo awesome. Have you reviewed it yet?
No, I haven't do e one on that product, but I have on a couple of others from the company. I can tell you it's a solid brand.
Ima try this because stuff be leaving my hair dry
Let us know how it worked out for you. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@Love_Lai_xo omg it made my hair feel so soft. It’s definitely a winner
Glad to hear it worked for you!😉
@@Love_Lai_xo yes thank for the review cause I had been for weeks
You are most welcome 😉
I just used this today 04/12/2024. Used on old hair before my wash day and I love it. Can't wit to see the results on a fresh wash
Thanks so much for watching!😊
What is the name of the Clips in your hair
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure what they are called but you can definitely find then in beauty supply stores. Thanks for watching!😊
Wow your skin so beautiful
Thank you soo much!🙏🏽😊
So happy I found your channel 😊 are you still using these products by henna sooq I've been thinking about purchasing the 6 week regimen
Oh my! I'm so sorry for the late reply! Yes, I still use them from time to time. Their products are really good!. I initially purchased the 6 week regimen and it was great! I definitely recommend it!. Thank so much for watching & being here!🙏🏽
The gray was not covered😭😭
It wasn't meant to be covered more so highlighted.
Oh i’m trying this!!! I too am back on the grease train. I hate ecoslay on its own though so i’ll mix with the camille rose curl maker.
Let us know how it turns out! 😊 Thanks for watching!🙏🏽
I’m wondering if this will work on nappy hair. These looks always serve for soft textures. I’m thinking about trying it.
Try it and see. I have tight curls & coils so it was a challenge for me too!😉
Does it have protein in it ?
It does..
Thanks for the review❤
Your welcome! 😊 Thanks for watching!🙏🏽
What is your hair's porosity ??
High porosity over here. Lol 😉
I love it. I think the lighter contrast from the grey looks like it’s meant to be like that. Looks really good well done
Thank you so much! Yeah, it basically makes the grays look more like highlights, which is what I was going for.😉 Thanks for watching 🙏🏽 Sorry for the delayed reply.
Waste of time. Doesnt work.
.
Yes… it’s used in NYC 😊
Thanks for watching!🙏🏽😉
I tried it yesterday and have the same results. I braided for a clueless wig because I''m babying my ends and edges as well. This was VERY moisturizing! I remove my wig at night and I will oil my parts and edges in one more day of it is dry, but it feels moisturized for sure. I will be getting the shampoo and conditioner to go with the set😮❤
😊💖
what did you have in your hair in the beginning of your video??
There was nothing in my hair at the start of the video. It was just freshly washed. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏽
Thx for the video, you’re absolutely beautiful.
Your welcome! And thank you!🙏🏽😊
I use it care free curl activator and blue magic hair grease
I know that's a moisturizing combo!😉
I love the Blue Magic Indian Hemp. I use the TGIN butter creme as the moisturizer first then seal with the grease. Chefs kiss.
😉
Hey Elaina!! So glad to see you back. Definitely have been where you are, semi often as well. For me, I allow myself to feel the feelings but also to be as gentle and kind to myself, and sometimes that means putting down the camera. Sharing everything can be heavy. We are proud of you and will be watching whatever you post!!
Tamia! This comment has me in tears. Thank you for sharing how you cope with these feelings. Your kind words really touch my heart.❤️ Thank you sooo much for supporting me & understanding the gravity of this video. Much Love!💖
@@Love_Lai_xo 💗💗💗
Hey friend! So glad to see you back. I like the mielle mousse. Affordable and on the ground are winners for me. I still haven't tried out a mousse wash and go. So glad these worked together for you! ⭐
Hey love! Thank you! Yes, girl! I'm loving the mousse! Funny enough Mielle products have never let me down. My hair really likes that brand! Hopefully, this summer, we can both get back to trying mousse wash & go's. 😉
Hi Elaina, Happy New Year sis, so good to see you beautiful results❤
Hey love! Happy New Year! Thank you!😘
This turned out so good!!
Yaass! Thanks!💖
Style turned out so nice. Super defined moisturized curls.
Yes, girl yes! 💖
❤❤❤❤ the kittens!!! On another topic, I miss my curly hair so much. I'm writing this silk press out until the season is over and then I'm jumping right back into my wash and gos!!!
They are a handful! 😮💨 I want to get a silk press one day. I hear ya! Nothing like like those natural curls!😉
Have you ever tried coloring from back to front, leaving the greys untouched until the final 2nd touch-up? Would love to see the colour outcome then. Especially since you don't use a toner
Hi there, I don't color my hair anymore. I have been growing this blonde out for the past 3 years. Thanks for watching. 😉
Also, you don't have to apologize for not doing an empties video. Give yourself some grace and allow yourself to feel what you feel. If you truly in your heart do not want to do hair videos anymore then you shouldn't do them. Girl you almost had a tear coming out of my eye!!! Because I could feel the pain and dread in your voice when you spoke about hair videos. I just want you to be your best and do what you want to do. I believe that maybe you just needed a break but either way you've got this!
Thank you again, sis!💖
@@Love_Lai_xo of course! 🩷
Hey Sis, God has given you these gifts to use them! And that's exactly what you're doing. I congratulate you for stepping out on faith and putting your products out there for the world to see. A lot of people wouldn't even do that. So the fact that you have enough confidence in yourself to make the products and showcase them on your channel means you're winning!!! Even if you feel that you're not getting as many views, continue to be led by God and it will always work out. I admire you because you never quit! Just like with your soaps, you decided to do that and you went through with it and your crocheting, the same thing so I don't know if this will help but you're doing one heck of a job and just keep doing what you love to do. If you don't love it anymore then don't do it. There's nothing worse than standing in front of a camera and not liking what you're doing. And that could just be burnout or it could just be a season in your life right now. But I'm on your team always have been and I trusted you'll make the right decisions!!!!! Love ya
Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that means to me! 💖 It's always good to know you have people in your corner, and your words of encouragement is like honey to my soul. Thank you for caring. 🙏🏽💖
@@Love_Lai_xo I'm so glad you were encouraged!
Hi!!! I’m glad to see you back uploading, I completely understand and relate to how you were feeling- keep pushing through ❤
Thanks love ❤️
Hey hey Elaina! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your feelings/thoughts with us. We all need a break sometimes and that's ok. When we get tired, burned out, sad due to grief, etc. the devil always tries to step in and steal our joy. I'm glad you were able to focus back on God and remember that in Him is where our joy comes from. So take all the time you need to refresh and then refocus on whatever God is telling you to (Him, family, business, CZcams or something else) because He will always lead us in the right direction. I'm glad to see you back and I will keep you lifted in prayer.🙏🏾🤗💕
Thank you so much, Rae! I really appreciate that. And all prayers are welcome. 🙏🏽💖
hi elaina 🤗 so glad to see you. this is a very important video - for you and for us. content creators (and life live-ers) need a break from time to time - that's normal - because who does a job/hobby/etc. 365 days a year with no breaks? ... (hint: noone does that). i have a similar video that ive recorded multiple times. it may never see the light of yt day, but just know - i hear you, sis. this flexirods hairstyle looks good. your curls missed you and wanted back in - asap. i plan to flat iron my hair this year, but i say that every year. my routine is never exactly the same, but i usually start with an aphogee protein treatment, and follow with a moisturizing deep conditioner (with silicones if available), very light leave in/moisturizer (silicone-based if i have it), maybe a heat protectant (i know, but i don't always use them), then section, loose twist/jumbo roller set and mostly air dry/hooded dryer before blow-drying and flat ironing. it takes longer, but the key for me is working in smaller sections - with a cool fan blowing, drinks and snacks and tv/radio entertainment (or a few long phone/video calls). all of this (2-day process) and i start missing my curls by the 3rd day - which is why i only flat iron my hair once every 1-2+ years 🤣😂 tfs
Yes, thank you for seeing the value in this video. It's always good to know that you're not the only one going through things, which is part of why I did the video. I hope it does help someone out there. Hopefully, one day, you will share yours. Although it still kinda looked alright It's definitely not how I anticipated it to turn out. Not sure when I will straighten my hair again, I will definitely record it when I do. I'm looking forward to your straight hair video, i always thought you have beautiful hair. 😊Thank you for always supporting me & my channel.🙏🏽💖
