I hope Tia invites you and others to help with the reformulation/launch of new products and most importantly, truly listens to influencer/customer feedback. We all want her to succeed but constructive criticism helps us all grow. Thanks for sharing Bianca ❤

[@BiancaReneeToday]

I agree!! I’d love to be involved! Just last night I was watching Nae2Curlys vlog at the Palm Springs event for Tia and was actually so surprised that almost ALL of the girls there had a tighter/type 4 hair! These products should’ve been PERFECT for type 4 hair. 🤔🤔 I don’t know what happened.

[@SheReaDelSol]

@@BiancaReneeToday That’s why the Type 4 girlies are confused babe lol

[@katlark]

I truly want to support her brand but for me having 3C4A curls. It might not work for my wash and go’s but I can see it working for a twist out. But I RARELY do twist outs. So right now I’ll wait for the reboot of more products geared towards my curlage

[@loseweightwithmealplanning]

@@katlark the struggle is real for 3c curls Eesh 😂 my hair is loving eco style PLENTY of water & Shea Moisture JCBO leave in. The rest of the line my curls are rebellious towards so I feel you! Waiting to try the Miele line

[@Babybearlove]

What I love about Bianca is we literally see her hair go from short and thin to longer and thicker if that doesn’t tell you she obviously knows what she is talking about I don’t know what will. Cause I tend to see people getting brand deals and there hair is already at its peak but we literally seen the progress from earlier videos to now. Keep up the great work so inspiring.

[@maureendera6440]

I can't believe how freaking long your hair has grown. I was off for 3years and looking you up on YT....Booom! I met the shock of my life. Your hair is looking so long, lush and healthy

[@stephp8221]

👍🏽As usual, you gave your honest opinion and that’s why I like you. I believe you were instrumental in getting Tracee to reformulate her Pattern hair products and over time Tia will probably do the same. 😁

[@momteacherlessons7296]

Ok. So. Do you know if she has another pattern review with the reformulated product? I'm trying to find it

[@stephp8221]

@@momteacherlessons7296 yes I believe it was last year. You would have to go through Bianca’s videos.

[@hayek1982]

One thing about Bianca! She gon' give you the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth, so help her strong hold! 💪🏽🙏🏽 Thanks for always keeping it 💯 and being an authentic, OG influencer! We appreciate how well you guard our trust & never skimp on proper, constructive feedback to all brands! It's the consistency for me! Well done 👌🏽

[@lisaruiz121]

I recently bought these for my daughter. I bought the clarifying shampoo and the moisturizing conditioner. Leave in curl cream and gel. My daughter’s hair is pretty close to yours. She liked both shampoo and conditioner. She liked the stylers but she does prefer a strong hold gel. She can get away with a soft hold gel in the winter but not summer. Oh btw I think your hair got more suds with the moisturizing shampoo because you already washed it with the clarifying shampoo. So your wasn’t dirty anymore. Anytime you wash your hair twice the second time gets more suds.

[@BiancaReneeToday]

Ooo interesting!! Thanks for telling me since I never double cleanse lol

[@claudiamirandola1305]

​@BiancaReneeToday yeah! Essentially, if you hair is already cleaned, the molecules in the shampoo can create more bubbles because they aren't "busy" removing oils

[@CurlsofaCPA]

Enjoyed your review! The constructive criticism was spot on, i really hope they expand the line

[@BiancaReneeToday]

Thanks for watching 🥰

[@matts9871]

i have BABY-fine, low-po short curls, and my hair cannot take coconut oil, castor oil, or shea butter, so this line seems like it'd be good for me! i am excited to see something aimed at curls in the drugstore that doesn't use those three ingredients. thanks for the honest review, i hope they expand the line to accommodate even more types of hair!!

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

Same here. I have Bianca's hair, but I keep it in a tapered cut. I HATE heavy, producty products on my hair. 99% of the time, I just use a leave in as my styler. I ordered the 2 conditioners and the gel. The plan is to use the conditioners as leave ins, and the gel for special occasions. Can't wait for the delivery!

[@lurgeegirl]

The HONESTY!!! I respect you so much. It takes guts to tell it like it is when you got to personally interact with Tia. When you showed the build up in the beginning I was like 😮 here we go!! Bianca spittin truth!! Thank you!!

[@shawneh.h4527]

I love Tia and I was excited when I heard about her hair products. Unfortunately, I’ve seen too many mixed or negative reviews of the products and I don’t think they will work on my hair. I’m saving my coins for products that are going to work! Appreciate your honesty!

[@CaraDowneyeroticromanceauthor]

This is the thing, I personally find a lot of the mixed or negative reviews are just for clout i.e. clicks and views. For the gel it clearly states on the bottle it’s a flexible hold not a strong hold. The tight 4 textures who had flakes, not all kinky, doily, curly hair types are the same even if said textures are the same because that’s not the science of hair. I personally have dropped off of natural hair videos simply because of this… it’s one thing to give an honest review and another to claim to give an honest review but really and truly the person giving the review is just hating.

[@hopiiii1]

Love that you have always been so honest in your reviews, it must be difficult when a beloved celebrity is involved. Your hair always looks beautiful so the fact you point out your concerns are extremely helpful.

[@jaxstime8239]

Bianca....You are THE Guru of curly hair products and need to do your own curly hair care line. If you do, I will definetly purchase your products!

[@jaz1elise]

Great review, Bianca! I loved Tia, Tamera, and Scary Spice as a child too, because of their hair and personalities! I might try Tia’s new hair products.

[@Angie_Onaleta]

Facts Bianca, all fact! The honesty is so appreciated. 👌🏿 thank you. I cannot WAAAIT for your review on Tracee's blow dryer! ❤️

[@BiancaReneeToday]

On it!! I’m excited to try it 🙌🏽

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

Back in the 90's when everyone was relaxed, Tia & Tamera were inspiring bc I've always had natural hair. I love Tia bc of her sunshine and support everything she does. I even have her cookbook! My hair is very similar to yours, but I keep it in a short, tapered cut. It's very fine and very easily weighed down, so the lightweight nature of her products was a great selling point. I wash n go everyday, and shampoo about 2/3x a week, so hold isnt a deal breaker. 99% of the time, I use conditioner as a styler. My hair defines easily, but im all about volume. I ordered the conditioners and gel. I hope they work out for me bc the pricepoint is amazing! Can't wait for the delivery ❤

[@brittanylugiano5260]

I usually don’t try things unless you are like love love love but for the price point and because it’s Tia I’m still going to give it go! You don’t know unless you try it.

[@DianaMarie239]

So glad you were honest. I was waiting for this review. Not all hair products are for everyone.

[@tab5567]

You are so right

[@amandajael_art]

Products look great on your hair! I agree with you, I love the crunch at the end of diffusing my hair from a good hard hold gel! I don’t have patience for soft holds lol Florida humidity✨so I think I will not try these! I am grateful for you and your videos because I have found my personal hair care routine/holy grail products after watching/studying many of your videos lol SO Thank you for reviewing these for me and I’m so happy you got to meet TIA!!!! ❤🎉

I love your reviews🥰🥰🥰 I am not extra hold gel type of girl like yourself- but at the same time I am looking for long lasting definition on my hair. I don’t want to do a wash and go that only last 1 day & I don’t want to refresh my hair EVERYDAY! Hopefully she listens to these critics & make her hair products better for all hair type!

I appreciate the actual honest review even though we love Tia but I like that she’s giving her honest opinion and that they aren’t necessarily exciting but leaves room improvement everyone’s gotta start somewhere but I’ll probably keep using my current products until something more exciting comes out

[@Fannie1107]

I think my daughter will love it she loves soft curls I love your reviews

[@chableepeterson1]

❤❤❤❤ well first of all I love your hair🫶🏾 the products made your hair look healthy. I don’t like that it did give you that dandruff look on your scalp. I think it’s because of the shampoo probably. Out of her whole line what was your favorite item out of all of the line so I can just only buy that product lol. I also can’t wait to review her product for my channel as well but I noticed you did say is not for dry hair and it doesn’t have much moisture, so I’m kind of scared, and it might not look as beautiful in my hair as it does in your hair I do like the fluffiness that I gave you, but I like a stronger hold for my hair because it makes my car all day last longer.

[@ChristieBlackmon]

So essentially it’s a product for Tia’s type of hair…. And that’s alright but not for me. Thanks for the review! I knew you wouldn’t disappoint Bianca!

[@Neesha242]

The moisturizing shampoo and conditioner is great for 4 type hair

[@Raja-bz4yw]

I've seen other reviews who have thicker hair or have more type 4 hair said they didn't like it. The line wasn't hydrating enough, it didn't provide enough slip for detangling, it didn't provide hold for some and they experienced flaking. I definitely feel like this line wasn't really made for ppl with thicker coily hair.

[@PanamaDoll1]

Appreciate the honest review 👍🏽

[@bettyb1907]

I know that you always do but love that you gave your honest review. I probably won’t be trying the products until they expand the line. I have a tighter and thicker hair and like you I don’t mind crunch! Also did I miss it or you didn’t make a challenge for this week? Thanks for always giving us the real! See you next week!

I love her too, I bought her entire line BUT I don’t love it either and I did have the white residue happen at the scalp area. I also prefer different packaging on the cream and gel.

You did???? Ok interesting…. Good to know it wasn’t just me

[@asiah8139]

Yes! Tia, Tamera, and Scary Spice! Saw myself when I saw them and their curls as a 90s kids

[@Ambina2]

I love this review! I do think less scent in the products is better for me because my skin is sensitive. First wash with the moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and my dry, big curls have turned hydrated! I'll style this with Kinky Curly.

[@zabethvi]

Just came from watching HappyCurlHappyGirl review. Appreciate your honesty with all your reviews. I will try a couple of products from the line. I feel like with product lines in general, this is a good starting point, let’s see what other additions will be added to the line in the future. Also looking forward to the Pattern Blow dryer review. Last year I did buy the Dyson blow dryer on sale and really love it, however it’s extremely expensive.

[@BiancaReneeToday]

Yes!! I feel like it’s a great start. And yea as much as I LOVE my Dyson… I’m still mad at the price lol

[@JermaineAuNatural]

Okay so, I was waiting for your review specifically because of the others I’ve seen just to have different styles and texture to see if there was still flaking. Final result wasn’t bad but not your best. I’m not mad at no scent. Now the soft hold is concerning. I’m with you make it hard and crunchy 🤣 let me break the cast as I need cause this needs a 7 day minimum. Great review! Gave me another prospective. Okay let me go wash this tub, set this camera up and see what I get😅😂🫣

I love a strong hold gel and a fruity scent in my products

[@leeleeg7700]

I remember back in the mid 80's, I had a ton of yummy smelling products that did not work! Most of my local beauty supply stores in Oakland were owned by another race (not black ppl). It felt like the hair care industry catered more towards pretty packaging with pretty smells. I found myself going back for more while waiting for results to kick in. Oh gosh, I needed a Bianca back then! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I've come a long way & smell is a thing especially if it stinks lol. Because of you, I 🤎 a good crunch too & only focus on products you recommend. It's been very rewarding! TY Queen! 🤎🤎

[@shaepoppinkurlzdc1862]

@@leeleeg7700 I would have to agree. I never liked my hair because it was too much to deal with. Everybody around me had perms or fake hair in some way. I didn’t start loving my hair until I found Bianca’s videos a few years ago! I’ve become a product junkies buying products she’s recommended. She hasn’t steered me wrong

[@ShellyStephen]

I probably think it just depends on your hair, you just never really know until you try it. At the end of the day everybody’s hair is just different, even if you have the same curl type as someone else.

[@Hairjourney_vlh]

Awh man I am kind of bummed but thank you so much for your review!

[@valerieyates6691]

Thanks for the review. Your curls have looked better after reviewing products and to me they just looked okay. At the price point I would give the shampoo & conditioner a try. Not sure about the other products.

[@Ortiz1491]

Absolutely loved this video. I'll have to try the shampoo/conditioner next. Bianca, one question though...you mentioned that you've liked other products in the $9.99 price range. Can you share what they were or do you have a video on those as well??

[@BiancaReneeToday]

I’ve been loving my Bond Bar products from Sally Beauty, also $9.99 🥰

[@msdiva]

I watched several reviews of this collection & I've noticed that naturalistas with tight coils & kinks got flakes from the gel, while those with curls usually did not get flakes. I think it's because the gel is geared towards hair textures that tend to define & clump on their own. Textures that need a product to define & clump their coils/kinks tended to use a lot of the product to get their desired look, which resulted in flaking. Bottom line is Tia needs to make stylers for tight coils & kinks. Cause this gel ain't it. Smh...😣

[@jeahlashelifestyle6816]

Very well said !

[@Melanie-wi9is]

I think it's cuz looser curls only used a smidgen of products and kinkier textures used a bit more. But I still think it's weird af when 2 products from the same line don't mix well, especially when they tell u to use them together. I had the same problem with Pattern. I'm like how does your leave-in work with Wetline gel but not your own Pattern gel?? LOL

[@BiancaReneeToday]

Oh really?? That one is soft hold too?

[@ayanadixon4763]

​@BiancaReneeToday coily girls like myself tend to use Uncle Funky's Curly Magic as a primer under a harder holding gel. It adds moisture and helps get my coils in formation, then I add a topper gel to freeze the shape in place.
