Are We Over Celebrity Brands? + GRWM Story Time | BiancaReneeToday

[@limegreenlover21]

I am over celebrity brands that don’t make sense for their own personal brands. For example, Pattern Beauty made sense because Tracie is known for her big and beautiful curly hair. She also marketed it correctly and didn’t start off with saying it’s celebrating black hair. She was marketing to all curly hair. Rihanna is known for fashion and her makeup looks so her brands made sense. Tia didn’t do her marketing research right and the campaign messed her up since it was clear she wanted to target the black hair market. Tia isn’t known for her hair. She’s known for her humor and her cooking skills. She needs me or another person who has experience with marketing to help her redo her brand and make corrections if she doesn’t want to go into the red.

[@godsprecious6884]

Well said

[@b294-r7q]

Very true, and Tia rarely wears her natural hair. In fact her hair looks damaged from the heat.

[@lalaliacat9067]

Agreed I would have been down for tia's brand but the marketing really threw me off

[@ashkeniasims1840]

I think this is why Pattern by Tracee Ellis Ross is doing sooo well… this is a celebrity who has always has her hair out & is proud of her hair! In regards to other celebrities trying to get a piece of this hair “cake” I’m not mad at them BUT at the same time I’m not interested either. At this point I’m sticking with whatever hair products I have that I know works & call it a day! Thank you so much for your videos!!!!

[@TaliaGrace589]

I feel like the nice thing with Rihanna’s products is that she actually takes time to be involved in the process. Yeah she’s not a chemist, but is ensuring the quality of her products. Not only that, she has shown that it can work on people from various cultures. Making sure it’s as inclusive as she can make it. (I’ve only tried her skincare and makeup). I’m sure the other brands have some science involved, but how many of them take the time to ensure the quality of what there trying to sell us?

[@mariacline35]

I think Tracee Ellis Ross is a celebrity that really put hard work into making good quality products for her fans and she's the queen of big natural hair I trust and love her products

[@eeshthebeast11]

The only celeb line I consistently use is Pattern. It doesn’t feel like a cash grab, it feels as though the consumer is top of mind, Tracee and Diana are know for big/fun hair and it’s quality! She uses the products herself and is proud of them. Some other brands…cash grabs with mediocre quality.

[@OpinionatedScents]

I think celebrity brands for black hair need to have a team with all textures represented. You can't have 2b and try to create products for 4c if you don't know anyone with 4c.

[@rachelm.3173]

THIS!

[@Nataliesnecessities]

People are criticizing Tia’s line because she doesn’t seem receptive to feedback. Her team is blocking people instead. Her line needs expanding and not properly formulated for dense type 4 hair especially for wash n go’s that will last more than a day. I don’t think it’s intent of the black community to say coily hair isn’t natural just that her hair texture doesn’t represent the whole natural hair community.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

@@Nataliesnecessities Lots of people also criticized her for being biracial even though she was hailed as the “black twin”, and for having a looser hair texture even though there are plenty of full black people who have a looser curl pattern. My only peeve was she didn’t have diverse textures in her ad, and I thought it was weird how she marketed her product as “filling in a gap” when we have more natural hair products than ever, so the focus should have been on what sets her products apart. Tia really needs to listen to the constructive feed back if she’s serious about making this line last cuz it really does seem like it’s a cash grab.

[@YummyCandiCollection]

As far as hair products...Pattern is the only brand that I believe in. Tracy consistently wore her natural hair vs wigs/extensions throughout her career. It's formulated with US in mind.

[@mcaeln7268]

And a lot of type 4 ppl use her products too!

[@YummyCandiCollection]

@@mcaeln7268 Exactly!!

[@MsMockingbird06]

From a black woman with 2 black parents, this “she’s not black enough” conversation is exhausting. Do people not realize that we come in different shades, hair types and textures? Do some of y’all really think that you’re 100% black??? 😂

[@AntoniaOkafor]

thank you! Most African Americans are not. But for some reason OBSESSED with gatekeeping blackness. It is time to stop! Both my parents are Nigerian.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

@@EsiriE Of course, but op is addressing AA’s who like to gate keep other black people’s blackness.

[@kristenbellows3411]

It always comes down to cost for me. The celebrity name tends to mean higher cost and I can't do that. I appreciated Manes By Mells collab with Verb because it took them at least a year to formulate, it's the same cost as all of the other Verb products and Mell frequently uses the product herself as well as other Verb products. I personally don't like the product but respect everything about it.

[@cyntcarr610]

I don't watch TV, I watch Netflix and Disney. I maybe 56 years old but I listen to you about hair care and it does great on my hair. So influencer I hear them out faster than a Commercial because they are the brand and you guys try them out and give honest opinions... Love you 'Bianca'

[@Chels924]

The only celebrity lines I will really purchase are Fenty and Pattern Beauty because Rihanna and Tracee put their heart and soul into the products and they are good quality/effective. Besides that, I’m not really here for celebrity lines

[@AmyBR4b]

I think the big difference with a Tia and Tracee is that Tracee has always worn her hair out openly and very proud of her natural curls. I have rarely seen Tia in recent years with her natural hair. Even when she does the ‘reveal’ of ‘her’ hair using her products it looks like she has added hair because her hair isn’t that long. So it did seem like she was just doing this to be doing it. She done a lot with vitamins and pots, pans. So it is a bit weird b/c she is all over the place. It would have been better for Tamera to come out with a hair line…..

[@jeahlashelifestyle6816]

I totally agree, Tamera wears her real hair way more often

[@robyna777]

I’m sick of “all hair types.” I feel people say that to expand and make more money even if it’s not accurate. And honestly, how can it be when hair has such a wide spectrum?

[@marinaallen4480]

I will forever support Pattern and Fenty Beauty ❤️

[@lystelle]

fenty beauty really felt like rhianna sharing her cool products she likes with us. it makes sense for her and she’s kind of a fashion and beauty icon so it really worked!

[@cherylwalker7923]

Fenty skin care is so good, I haven't purchased her lipstick yet. Like you stated, it's so many to brands to choose from.

[@breannesmith8580]

The only "celebrity" haircare brand I am LOVING at the moment is Tabitha Brown's hairline Donna's Recipe especially the styling cream and the conditioner 😍

[@chloeluisee]

19:18 this is exactly what i though about the whole mielle hair oil situation. the product itself was made for one hair type but the owner claimed it was for any to make more money, which not only ended up messing up a bunch of straight haired people's scalps, but also made the product less accessible for the coily haired people that needed it

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

The bottle always said it was for all hair types just like the rest of her products say they are for all hair types. Yes, mostly type 4’s used the oil, but Monica shouldn’t be getting hate for saying her oil was for all hair types when it always did.

[@Sailorette.Plans.]

Every celebrity has come out with some sort of scent now they’ve branched out. Not mad at anyone for genuinely and honestly creating something they stand by and they should reap the benefits of good, trustworthy products.

[@lorrainelori2030]

Age old thing Bianca. I'm bi racial too and it's been this way over 60+ years. Our colors and hair types make us stand out like misfits no one wants to totally "claim" us. I heard a long time ago, if you have ANY black in you, that's what you are. Yeah, celebrity stuff does feel like too much.

[@jenlewis4382]

Blaxican here✊🏽 I get exactly what you are saying about being told I'm not black. KZbin videos like yours, Lana Summer (bought her scrunchies,) Curls Beauty (I bought her shirt says Curls for days,) Andrea's Choice helped me get my hair together. Probably not wanting to buy more curly hair products with the graveyard of products that didn't work.

[@mm-best9997]

I respect you ten times more for not taking that deal!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽BIANCA! This is why I love you! 🎉

[@MykenGarciaBeauty]

I have been such a fan!!! Your content ALWAYS gives me life because you say what everyone else is thinking it… Such a great conversation… it’s so difficult for me to have an opinion. On one hand you have products going “viral” like some infamous bronzing drops that we don’t need to name because everyone reading this is saying “I’ve tried to buy it for months” including 9yr olds not knowing that these bronzing drops have active ingredient skin care that is NOT needed for someone who is 9yrs old only because they saw an influencer using it but not EDUCATING that it has ingredients that are meant to be anti-aging. NOTHING a 9yo needs. However, people like you, who I completely respect for all the knowledge nuggets you drop, I would trust because of exactly THAT… the KNOWLEDGE you drop. It’s not about creating a video or “trend” but share facts! So the 98% trusting influencers isn’t surprising.. however coma, depends on the influencer it’s coming from. Is it coming from someone who is getting paid to give a review for the check or is being honest with us 100%?! Choice is yours friends…

[@tamarabaez479]

I tried Pattern beauty when she first came out with the silicone conditioner,I liked the line.I bought Fenty beauty line, and we loved the makeup line.

[@shereeseblackman7871]

B, ... gurrrlll... I acknowledge your blackness and your mommy's genes as well, and as a very black girl who ended up having the 10% white gene popping up in her 3c, 4A hair I think people who stress that mixed people not fully black need to chill. Genetics are weird but my curly hair doesn't make me any less black with this very black skin I'm wearing. Just saying😌😌 Thank God for your guidance cuz I would NOT know what to do with my hair at this late stage of my life, if it wasn't for you. Period.

[@anivonhunt]

I use Honest Beauty products. Jessica Alba said she created her products due to allergies to her skin. Her products are safe for my skin. Celebrities need to do research. They also need to ease up on the fragrance. We need more fragrance-free products. For skin, they need to follow Hyram, Dr. Vattan, Dr. Stephens, and Browskinderm. The scalp is skin and we need products that protect and hydrate.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

Not Hyram. He’s not a skincare expert and changes his mind easily for sponsorships. His skincare line isn’t even his. It’s a colab with Inkey List. Brands instead should instead higher qualified chemists and researchers.

[@Ñani10082]

Hyram is the worst . I started watching dr dray for skin care. A real dermatologist with an office in texas.

[@ND-vs9wc]

Sold! Cleaning my brushes this week ❤ Appreciate your honesty.

[@jamiewebb9775]

I personally don't support many celebrity brands. It's all a bit overwhelming to be honest. I'm also a person that likes to see the results of something, so I follow influencers that closely relate to myself. I'm not opposed to supporting celebrity brands, and good for them for taking the risk, but I want to know if the product works. I've mostly stuck to hair care brands that I've seen you try and like. It took me a long time to be comfortable with my curly hair, and I want to trust that the products I'm using are nothing but good for it. I also felt what you said about being mixed, deeply.💜 And here' my comittment to cleaning my brushes and sponges this week. 🙈

[@STP255]

Girl my sponges and makeup brushes are laughing at me - good challenge ! I do feel like we do prejudge the celebrity brands. Thank you for your honest reviews! I’m looking for the viola Davis natural hair 🚀 launch! Lol I feel like we need more hard hold Type 4 hair gels. Equal to wetline/eco styler- but more botanical/natural -

[@wandah03]

I stopped using Pattern's curly cream because my hair started falling out in chunks. The moment I stopped using the excessive shedding stopped. I was using it for while before I noticed what was happening. I'm not influenced by influencers or products in social media or TV. I buy based on ingredients.

[@brittredman777]

My take on celebrity brands… there name is just a draw. Sure they can make money initially but if the product isn’t good people aren’t going to keep coming back for more and eventually like you kind of mentioned they just die off. I’m here for celebrity brands if they make great products!

[@kittylemeu]

Yes. We're over celebrity brands. The only celeb brand I have is pattern and that's because their products are actually good. It never mattered to me who owns it.

[@jeanninegorden8142]

The modern day celebrity is all about building their brand. No industry is safe. There is celebrity makeup, alcohol, food, restaurants, clothes, shoes, haircare products, hair accessories, cookware, cookbooks, books, fragrances, skincare products, lingerie, houseware, etc. Some are very involved with the production/development/marketing. Others just slap their name on stuff or partner with established companies. And it's not always easy to find out what their role is in the business. It's a lot.

[@leeleeg7700]

Thanks to your YT channel, I'm a loyal fan of Curlsmith & SheaMoisture! Plus, I have a few Pattern items that I also like. Btw, I discovered a bacteria/cruelty-free brush cleaner by Cinema Secrets. Multiple sizes are available at Sephora, Amazon & their website. There's the original blue & the lemon scent that's clear which I prefer the 🍋. Tip, don't over saturate brushes & dry with bristles pointing down to avoid damaging the adhesive. It's a little pricey but it works like magic & you don't need a lot. I don't have enough space to lay brushes flat to dry, so I got a multi size 28 hole brush drying tower from Amazon 😉

[@tyceleewhitfield9497]

Honestly, the way I see it is content creators get paid so much money, a lot of the time for sponsorships, and yet there are so many people with minimum wage jobs that are barely making rent. I do understand that it takes a lot of time and creativity to be a content creator and I have watched you for so many years and you are one of the only contact creators that I still respect because you are so honest and you have just had quite the journey. With that being said, it would be so respectable for you to make curly hair products because we do trust you and because you’ve spent so much time reviewing so many products, and I definitely respected natural 85 for creating her products and I don’t know if any of this is making sense, but it’s just how I feel

[@courtneyhaas2846]

It's hard to trust celebrities and influencers in regards to products because they can be moneygrabs, not actually carefully formulated/made. I love Bounce Curl because Merian actually formulates and tests the products herself! And i trust your opinion because you are genuine and honest about your reviews. I refuse to buy anything that's kardashian because fhey seem like plain old money grabs. Rihanna's been in the game long before the celebrity brands and influencers took off, so i trust she took the time to be a part of the process. Now it's hard to know because it seems there's a new brand every couple months. Definitely need to clean my makeup brushes i rarely use them, and don't clean them right away after use 😬

[@FrazJJ]

I also don’t trust most celebrities or influencers. I do like Bounce Curl and Fenty. I love Bianca, but many influencers definitely just endorse things for money grabs, and there are a few who overtype their hair and make suggestions that aren’t good

[@lorenah7496]

I enjoy fenty beauty & skincare; Rihanna has great products and I respect the come up. Recently I have enjoyed Rare beauty as well.

[@Crystal_curls85]

Ggiirrrll, start making that detangler were the tangles jump out lol 😂 🤣🤣 I’m buying it!! As for me and celebrity brands. I don’t think I’ve ever bought any or will. I like to support and uplift the smaller up and coming brands who have worked so hard to start their own lines without the help of their celebrity status. I’m also not against those who buy celebrity brands that work for them.

[@tirahunter7331]

I would buy your curly brand immediately! My hair would look like gold, everyday! Please think about doing it your way, you got my support.

[@tj817]

It is overwhelming with ALL the celebrities making skin care line and makeup. I am more concerned about the quality of the products. If the products are Curlsmith quality okay but if it is Dollar tree rebranded as high end , no thank you. I have never tried Pattern but I am curious about that detangler, I have never tried Fenty either. I don’t plan on trying Tia’s line until I see more reviews

[@PFaith99]

I think my personal issue with hair brands that are launched by mixed/loose curly hair women. It’s that sometimes it feels like it excludes tight curly Afro hair. Like the Afro hair that mimics (dare is say cotton). With Tia and her tik Tok. It was like well… my hair looks nothing like that wet, dry, product or no product. So for her to say she wants to represent black Women… well tbh her hair type already has the representation. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ anyways not mad at the hustle. I just kinda tune everything out at this point because I feel like tight coiled hair has been pushed under the table and it kinda makes it feel like it doesn’t exist lol.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

Tightly coiled hair has always been pushed back, so nothing new or surprising there. As for looser textures marketing to tighter textures it really depends on the owner because Monica (Mielle) makes products that curly and kinky girls use and genuinely like. Where as Mixed Chicks for example is truly for looser textured naturals, but I’ve heard some type 4’s like their products, I’m just not one of them cuz my kinks need heavy products. Tracee did good with Pattern. I’m not a fan of her products, but she has a range that caters to curly and kinky hair types and lots of people rave about them.

[@NaturallyMarshea90]

I personally have not had the best experience with celebrity products. Pattern made my hair flake and it was dry and brittle. It took a while to get my hair back to normal. I haven’t tried any other celebrity brand since. There are also small brands and big none celebrity brands that do the same to my hair. Some brands don’t know how to take constructive criticism. One thing I will give Pattern they didn’t not block people they watched videos and adjusted the products to the concerns. I appreciated that.

[@bklynbutters13]

Hey Bianca! How was the crunch level and hold level of the Carol's Daughter foam?

[@laurenwilson4096]

Have you ever thought about reviewing the "Mixed Chicks" products? I know some of them have sulfates or silicone, but some like the styling gel, curl sculptor, styling cream, and the redefining foam I think are sulfate and silicone free. Any interest in these products? Also, your hair looked good after you diffused! What were your final thoughts on the Carol's Daughter gel to foam?

[@anitraholmes8461]

I accept the makeup brush clean challenge. I have needed to do this for a while, too. I don't care about celebrity lines. I also don't buy them. As far as influencer lines, I buy Naptural85 Melanin Haircare products. I trust Whitney. I buy products you recommend. I've been watching and following you and Whitney for like 10 years,

[@angelag669]

IMHO, the biggest reason people tend to purchase products "promoted" (for lack of a better word) on social media is because you usually see the influencer actually USE the products and show their results. While different influencers may have different recommendations, you sort of know them and can find the ones who are most similar to you. My hair is fine 2B with some 3A spots and colored so I would tend to pay more attention to influencers with similar hair as me. I would be less inclined to choose products for someone with 4B-4C hair even if they got good reviews because my hair is not like that. Yes, there are so many celebrity brands entering the market I think it is super saturated and people have brand exhaustion but if the product is good for you, use it regardless of whose brand it is. Also, funny you should mention cleaning your brushes. I did half of mine today and will do the other half tomorrow. Do I still get credit? 😉 Love your stuff!

[@HDinBLUE]

I returned the fenty lipstick. It emphasized the lines on my lip. When I went back to Sephora they advised they were getting that product returned at a high rate. I love all of her glosses just a miss for me.

[@leoskiss3390]

These celebrities could care less about the health of customers hair or skin…. I feel like Traci really did put in work and research and test the products before even pitching them to her test team…. Then she marketed the products correctly. I’ve already tried like 7 products from her line. The Custard and the Leave in have been standout repurchases

[@tnjones522]

I’m not sure if I’d put Jessica Alba’s Honest brand into the same category as other celebrity lines until you mentioned it. Idk why or how they approached it but I keep forgetting and now they’re known for quality. I’m surprised TBH and Sienna Naturals are still around. Idk anyone who uses them. Agreed that the lines need to make sense.

[@harmonious.balance]

Oh I am definitely over it! The market is too saturated period with celebrity and noncelebrity brands. We are constantly duped into consumerism. Across the board for any product...there is no appreciable difference between brands within the same tier. I appreciate Tracee's intention, and if I were in the market for a blow dryer, I would buy Pattern's dryer. But I'm not in the market for one, so I'm not buying it. It's a cash grab because they know the community will buy it. They wouldn't do it if they thought we were more discriminating.

[@caarmynjaay]

I've tried Fenty Beauty & Skin, Pattern Beauty, Baby Phat Beauty, Honest Beauty. You have to pick your celebs wisely. I love Bretman Rock & Wet n Wild Jungle Rock collection. I just got some Hyram skincare too. I need to clean my makeup brush cleaner before I do the brushes.

Celebrities just need to have the credibility and believability. Like you said someone that straightens their hair everyday should not make a curly hair product. Just as long as their product is actually good and real.

[@MaLi-re6re]

Gotta Wonder iF TraceeEllisRoss was the 1 who said Let Black Hair Be Black would she get same response?

[@rachelm.3173]

I think the difference is Tracee had all curl types and textures representing her brand. She wasn't in front of the camera telling the world her type 3 curls is the poster child for "black hair." Kudos to Tracee for allowing her brand to showcase curly, coily and kinky hair textures.

[@chrism9294]

Hey Bianca, girl I trust your reviews. Even if I tried a product that you liked and it didn’t work great on my hair I still trust you because I know and understand that my hair is different from your hair. And what works great for you might only be okay for me and vice versa. Having said that, if you ever want to try products on your hair type and need another hair type to try it on, I volunteer. Just saying 🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@currydiamondcurls]

When the brand makes sense and the integrity and quality aren’t questionable I’m all in, but gimme an influencer over a celeb any day. The girls actually buy and use most of the products we’re interested in. I trust that more than a random celeb slapping their name on a product knowing their fan base will support them just because of the name attached to the product and NOT bc the products are actually good. I like to buy, try and use what other every day ppl like myself would actually spend their money on (even if they didn’t). I think ppl just want quality with integrity attached. Huge reason why I watch you and a few other ppl. Thank you for not just slapping your name on a product line. Can’t wait until you do come out with products in the future though

[@erinpalmore602]

Hey Bianca. The only celebrity brands that I have used is the fenty beauty as well as pattern. Those are the only ones that feel genuine to me personally. As far as the issues people are having with Tia and her instagram video I think it was just a little tone deaf. It’s not that curly hair isn’t natural…it’s more so like that hair hate commercial from shea moisture. Curly hair that is type 3 is seen as more acceptable. As the only person in my family with type 3 natural hair I was always told I had the “good hair” in my family. So I understand why the type 4 girlies felt her video was off….your on a video gliding your fingers through your hair effortlessly but for most black women that isn’t a reality…no ma’am…absolutely not lol

[@nunim2496]

I love pattern beauty I lasted 3 or 4 years without a trim and that is good it tells me the quality of my hair. I love 95% percent of her products. I have spend over 400 hundred dollars on her curly hair products.💛💛💛 they also have great customer service if I didn’t like one product I got my money back and they said I could keep the product. I highly recommend pattern beauty.

[@Curlsesh]

When I was young in the 90s you just didn't see being mixed race as a celebrated identity. I think it was usually ignored or not talked about. Or you were put in a box, you were beautiful if you straightened your hair or wore wigs. But if you had your natural hair then you were not taking care of your hygiene. Now that you see it more often nowadays in everyday life, commercials, movies, etc people want to judge how white or black that person is. People need to just let people be. As a mixed race person I celebrate all my heritage. ... prob black a bit more cuz well... the Caucasian side doesn't have the best track record. Lol. But that's my choice and not up to others to decide for me or others. I like that there's a mixed race option to check mark on documents... not sure why some have in parenthesis "not of Hispanic origin" but hey that's America slowly improving but still a little racist.

[@DiamondsCraftsAndCrochet]

My mind is blown at the point about how much money is spent on Superbowl commercials just to have no one actually buy it. Who is switching the car insurance because of a commercial they saw during the Super Bowl? You know what people did buy? All of the Rihanna merch for the halftime show. All promoted on the Fenty social platforms including KZbin. These brands and companies just be throwing money away….

This is a random question but honestly i needdddd helpppp!!!! I am a natural curly girl … my curls are about a 3b /3c and ive always wanted to wear my curls all year round but i struggle to figure out why my curls only work in specific climates. Im from virginia and recently moved back from miami. In miami, my curls thrivvveeeddddd!!!! I mean they were defined, soft and moisturized. Now that I am back im Va, my curls are dry, the product doesnt seem to penetrate in my strands no matter what i use and my curls just look so baddddd. I get so frustrated i end up just flat ironing my hair so I do not have to deal with it anymore. Ive tried shower filters to change the water type, switching products, deep conditioners, trims, cuts etc… i just do not know what to do to get my curls to flourish in VA the way they did in miami!!! Any suggestions?

Interesting! I have 3c/4a curls, with some 3b mixed in there, I’m also from Virginia but I moved to Chicago for college, but I moved back here a couple years ago. My curls do pretty well in VA, but I’m no curly expert. That said, have you tried incorporating more heat into your routines, ie steaming or deep conditioning with heat? The first thing that I thought of looking at your question is that your hair lowered in porosity. Also, were there any other life changes that affected your routine? My routine changed a lot after finishing college and starting work, and tbh I’m still finding the balance that I had in college when I had no time. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful, but I’m sure there’s a solution for you somewhere!

Could be the water

[@GB2595]

Do you have hard water? Maybe that is the issue. Hard water creates a mineral buildup on the hair and scalp. And it needs a special hard water shampoo to remove. Maybe that is something to look at. And if it is hard water, getting a water softener for the shower could be really beneficial. Means you don’t have to clarify your hair constantly.

[@melleciosa]

Try a chelating shampoo for deep clarifying... then a filter of the issue is indeed the water in your municipality

[@ShakiraSmylie]

Very amazing content you have been doing ❤

[@mayar.7249]

I wouldn't say I'm 'over' celebrity products, but I get it. I just try and make sure I watch/read reviews and keep in mind what their hair type is vs mine

[@2k11Emma]

😂 For me once you wash your make up brushes and blenders, they ain’t the same! Especially the blenders, they expand and just feel different. I just threw my old ones away and bought new ones… does that count? 🙈🙈 I don’t buy celebrity branded products tbh, too expensive and there are other normal brands I trust. I do looove the Beyoncé heat perfume though 😊

[@Kat.Wheeler1012]

I came to this video to like and say - yes. yes we are. the market is just over saturated. Its hard to tell what companies actually did their own thing, and which bought some premade product and slapped their label on it.

[@jeanninegorden8142]

The person who approached you was basically offering you a white label brand. Lots of products across industries are made in the same factories. Then the "brand name" is placed on the packaging.

[@feliciabethea2211]

Girl!!!! I'm sitting here screaming YES! YES! YES!! to everything you are listing in your requirements for your dream hair brand!! People in my apartment complex are gonna think I have a phantom boyfriend!!!🤣🤣 when it comes to ANY hair brand, the ONLY thing I am looking for, is ...."does it work on MY hair"????? I think that is truly all we are collectively looking for, and that is all we should be worried about. If so called celebrities are only looking for a money grab-ok, I got no problem with that- as long as the stuff they are putting out WORKS! If it is crap, down the hatch they go, straight to the garbage just like Miss Veruka Salt.

[@tairema]

For me some of the celebrity brands made sense like Fenty Beauty, Honest Company by Jessica Alba, and Pattern where Tracy rocks her natural hair daily and they are being the proof as to why their products work and why we as consumers should buy it. My issue with Tia’s brand is her end results when she is showing her hair done she has on curly extensions that to me is being misleading. Show your results with your own hair not with added extensions. Taraji I have never seen her natural hair but you want me to just trust that your products are good because you put your name on it? No m’am.

[@angelhampton5901]

I am mixed with Black and White as well. I totally agree 100% with what you said.

[@MsMockingbird06]

I’m a brown skinned black woman, not mixed and I again with what she said too.

[@robyn-leecarlsen9136]

Can we just say let's keep natural hair products to people that actually has the experience and did the research on natural hair and what would be beneficial to us. I have tried so many celebrities product hair lines and Hates it and had to go back to what I was used to. Like just because we finally embracing natural hair doesn't mean this is a gap to make money. If they wanna make money on hair care lines then make a good product if you can't just leave it and stick to what you know best

[@janethnunez4300]

14:01 haha you’re so real for that cause same 😂😭

[@106andie]

The only two celebrity brands I use are Fenty and Pattern, it really is annoying that all these celebs are launching beauty brands, it’s overkill. Don’t get me started on the mixed race thing, as a mixed race person myself, I hate people thinking we’re not black, it’s selective outrage.

[@k.j.l.t.]

So glad I'm not the only one who felt TJP was a weird azz move.

[@mardellasunshine864]

I am more than happy to try out products for you if you decide to try out creating a curl care line!

[@tatumdebella6855]

Waited for this video!!! Yessss there she is 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 coming in hot! Can’t wait for the next one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nikki2370]

I think I'd they have a good brand I want it all. Like I love patterns products. I love Rhode by Hailey Bieber because I know she cares about skincare and always has so I know her brand is legitimate. I love these videos sooo much by you. And I love how authentic you are about everything. I seriously love you so much. You're just so realistic and it's true!! And I'm excited to see you use that carols daughter product. I want to see it

[@kalenaplath4545]

Preach for us mixed kids! Many say we aren't black, but then we aren't white either. Let's just be and stop trying to make us fit into a box.

[@NeeHardy]

I think Tia would have gotten a better reception if she would have focused her brand around mixed-curly hair. The only other brand I’ve seen for mixed hair is Mixed Chicks. And nothing would have been wrong about that. But then she can’t accept the criticism from influencers who she’s trying to sell to. Like come on girl…. But I want her to succeed in the hair industry.

[@MarielaQue]

I'm not over 'celebrity' brands.

[@abarlow1000]

Issa Rae could also get away with a natural hair product line.

[@BeaniRose]

I'm not over some of the celebrity brands because even though they aren't chemists they care about quality and are in volved in the products making process, like Fenty & Honest Beauty.

[@bajanbreezy]

I feel like if your brand is great without your name then it is a good brand but if we have to associate your brand with your name then that's the issue. For example, I haven't heard great things about Rem Beauty unless they were from fans of Ariana Grande but people who aren't fans of Ariana I haven't heard great things about it. I didn't even watch the Super Bowl but I did watch the halftime. I love the Keys cleansing balm but I can't stand the candle.

[@janayroyster9968]

I don't have a issue with celebs or influencers doing brands as long as it's something they're known for and they put in quality ingredients and effort into the brands. Also, what are they offering to the industry that other existing brands aren't providing? Lastly, which is the nail in the coffin for these brands is how they and handle public criticism about their products and how they address it. Do they say thank you for the feedback and fix it or do they let their ego get involved and just chalk it up to people being "haters" , blame it on the customers, or flat out lie like Jacylin Hill does.

[@angelquinterovibe]

Any thoughts on John Legend's skincare line, Loved01?

[@BiancaReneeToday]

I JUST saw that was a thing like 2 days ago!! I’m not a John Legend fan but the fact that he partnered up with Jackie Aina ( A credible influencer!) is the only reason I know about it & would even consider trying it lol

[@angelquinterovibe]

@@BiancaReneeToday Lol, I would ask for a reaction video, but would you? ... If I'm being totally honest, I love the scrub and toning mist. Just sayin 🤭
