100% THE WORST NATURAL HAIR PRODUCTS & BRANDS I HAVE EVER TRIED

[@SheReaDelSol]

You look soooooooo good with braids Gina. Wow!!

[@OneSmartFro]

Aww thanks

[@thatchykcrys]

I’m not surprised to hear that about Uniqurl...the owner used to work with Mielle. Looks like she learned from the best. **sips tea while wearing shades**

[@OneSmartFro]

Why am I not surprised

[@akatrip2]

Everything "ain't" for everybody. People need to learn and understand their own hair and what works for them, and not just use products because they see someone else using them.

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Gina girl, I had that same issue with Uniqurl and even mentioned it in one of my videos at the end of 2020. They move really dirty. They take advantage of small creators and ignore you when you bring the situation to their attention. I didn't think they'd have the balls to do it to someone your size though. Complete trash, I tell you. They deserve to be called out.

[@PUNKGIRLrock24]

You're not the only influencer i've seen that said that Uniqurl used their content without asking or compensating them

[@OneSmartFro]

It’s such a shame. Extremely disappointing

[@pandabearboo9100]

[@QueenHonestlySavage]

The braids are gorgeous!! That’s disrespectful of them to do that to you! Don’t they know u r an attorney!!! Some people don’t care and act like they are professional but don’t know how to keep business relationships!!! You ain’t paying but want to post other people’s work without their permission (copyright) not authorized by the individual is a big NO NO they won’t pay but want free work not acceptable!!! I want to only shop Black owner brands but a lot of them are doing things that I don’t accept period!!! Let’s keep it professional and respectful 💯! They can’t stop your shine love but I hesitate to have a channel cause all my products over 200 are brought with my money and I wouldn’t accept anyone taking me work and posting it for their benefits!!!💯love your channel even though I am not a 4c I rock with some of you influencer cause you guys are down to earth and cool people ❤️

[@TextureLove]

I didn’t even bother with the new honey products from Camille Rose. I had the honey leave in and my hair hated it. I don’t even use it as a leave in anymore I use it to Prepoo just so I don’t waste the rest. I haven’t tried the Curls Blueberry bliss line yet even though it’s been around forever. I still want to try it just to see if it will work in my hair but after this video, I’m having second thoughts lol

[@twingemz984]

Camille Rose Honey Leave in actually dried out my hair instead of moisturizing. Tried it twice and then threw it away.

[@TextureLove]

@@twingemz984 Oh no!!!! That’s terrible. Camille Rose products are too expensive not to work LOL.

[@beastlyb2990]

Let me hop on this convo too lol. I absolutely hate it. Felt drying going on and its very oily and drips on the neck. I really don’t like it . However, I want try give it one more chance because my cousin really love it and i want to feel the magic she got lol. But yea hat hydrate crap isa no. But their coconut one is ok for me

[@TextureLove]

@@beastlyb2990 Listen, I don’t know how other people are getting such great results with any of those honey products from Camille Rose. The aloe whipped gel is my jam though

[@starmaxx4]

Gina I luv those braids 🥰💙💕… so pretty dang I wish I had some edges cuz I sure would rock them 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@tamaragiles5571]

TFS! I totally agree about the Annabelles. I want to like her stuff because it's Ayurvedic but that prepoo is high priced coconut oil, nothing more.

[@OneSmartFro]

Nothing to really post. The things we want to post nobody watches. These companies do us so wrong it takes the fun out of posting hair content now. I’m very consistent on IG though.

Definitely give Annabelle’s perfect blends another try 🥰 Her strawberries and cream hair line is bomb! Everything else I’ve tried body care products included is amazing 🤩 plus her scent selection is so diverse

[@sunnijames2802]

Agreed her and them products are awesome, I’m currently watching the mail box now.🧐

[@twingemz984]

I agree with the Mane Choice Alpha gel...flakes everywhere. I gave it three tries. Straight trash.

[@TandZAptLife]

I agree with the gloved natural, your hair looks stunning! I haven't heard of many of the products that you mentioned so I guess that is a good thing.

[@blackeneddove]

Just stumbled on your channel. Clicked for the products, stayed for the products, but LOVE the braids! 😍

[@adriennekirkland719]

One smart fro, I need to know if you could do a video on Avokiwi?

[@EsiriE]

Those braids on you are fire 🔥 And that mane choice gel you showed is sooo bad 😂🤦🏾‍♀️ I had to throw mine away. Such a waste of money

[@baconeggandcheese8402]

The creamy leave in from Oyin Handmade is wayyyyy better imo

[@keriisemanchester5214]

I'm not a fan of that oyin handmade shine and define either, mine was runny too and it didn't do anything for my hair. Shame on uniqurl, and i've heard another youtuber talk about them stealing her content too, that's terrible. I just picked up mane krush for their anniversary sale and it seemed ppl really liked the fairy god mother leave in so that's the one i got😩, we'll see if its a hit or a miss for me when i try it.

[@beaubeauknows3620]

The only 2 gels I’ve ever used that have flaked were that mane choice gel you mentioned and the cantu custard… That mane choice one was trash trash

[@OneSmartFro]

Yeah that alpha gel is just not good.

[@beaubeauknows3620]

[@smith283]

I'm so sad to hear about Uniqurl. I love their products, but that's bad business practices!

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

They are terrible. They did me dirty too last year. You reap what you sow though.

[@cutenobi]

Just keep it simple with your prepoo: your favorite conditioner, some water, and some oil. I’ve even added banana baby food.

[@adriaward4539]

You are a genius. I will try adding banana baby food to my prepoo.

[@OneSmartFro]

I’m not doing all that 😂😂😂😂. Clay mask have less steps and I still rarely do it. Just give me a jar. 🤣🤣🤣

One Smart Fro I understand. I loved my clay washes, but I stopped because I was tired of making my own.

[@danafisher8613]

That pre style detangler by Oyin is about the only thing I truly don’t like…but never had the film issue… where did you get from the store or them. I only had issues like that when I got it from Target cause they would leave expired product on the shelf.

[@OneSmartFro]

The mane choice gel needs to definitely be used with wet wet wet hair cause I got flaking too then! I used it as a leave in after I rinsed out my conditioner plus traping the water in my hair.

[@eniayermi4914]

Hey Gina! I really love your videos! Recently I found a website that sells iPhone cases. The products are sooo beautiful, I want to send them to you. But unfortunately, I have no idea with your phone model. So plz tell me that, and I will pick some cases for you.

[@ImaniShakir]

Your braids are so beautiful 😻

[@Laysplace23]

So interesting what products we prefer over others. Some of these you talked about I absolutely love and some that ppl swear by I hate but it’s more so preference and how we use them. My regimen is so different than when I first started out that I don’t have half of the issues I used to have with products. But you mentioned good notes about ingredients which is real and underrated! Loved this. Ty!

[@tamarahenderson5241]

Love this

[@uberhaute_naturalz84]

Please, I'll like to ask these questions. Don't be offended. 1. Why did you buy it when you know your hair doesn't like glycerin? 2. Did you use it according to instructions? 3. Did you use other products alongside e.g. layering and oiling etc? 4. Were you heavy-handed? Thanks🙏🏿

[@OneSmartFro]

Because I can still typically get away with glycerin products. I typically lose definition quicker than a glycerin free product. But never within hours of using the product. Take uncle funky daughter. If I use their products a braid will last 3/4 days were a product without glycerin last all week. This was the first product that had glycerin that legit affected my hair within 1 hours of unraveling it.
