Curly Hair Products I DON'T RECOMMEND! | BiancaReneeToday

[@lois2037]

Just some extra info on silicones 😉: The silicones that have PEG in front of it are water soluble and won’t cause build-up on the hair. Dimethicone copolyol is also a water-soluble ingredient. If a water soluble silicone is in for example a deep-co, the product will still be able to penetrate the hair because the product is applied on wet hair and rinsed out with water. A non sulfate cleanser can wash these silicones out easily.

[@daphnesmith1812]

This is true

[@skoozi2]

yaaaas maam!

[@CaraDowneyeroticromanceauthor]

Lois that's true... I know there's a big push to use products that don't have sulfates, silicone, parabens but in all honestly we've used products that had these ingredients in them and nothing serious happened to our hair. Lord, knows my mom used products back in the day when I was growing up, and my type 4 hair had no issues with them and grew like a weeds. I do make it a mission to look at ingredients no disrespect to Bianca, but the natural hair community isn't in my bathroom when I'm doing my hair... soooo, I use what works for me.

[@CaraDowneyeroticromanceauthor]

@@GlitterSkies Its so weird... as I mentioned... growing up for me my momma use luster's pink moistening hair cream just to name a brand on my hair. I know times have changed and the way we take care of our hair has changed as well. I use a mixture of products that are sulfates, silicone and paraben free... I totally agree with you, we have to rock what works best for us :-D

As a licensed cosmetologist, not all silicones are bad. You have to do your research and understand the chemistry of products as it relates to hair. Just saying they have a certain ingredient without the proper knowledge isn’t really fair. Ouidad is a phenomenal professional line for curls. You also didn’t try the products to give it a fair review so you can’t say you didn’t like it.

[@mylene_b]

I understand your point, but looking at her hair its clear that she doesn't need silicones.. she has shiny, vibrant hair naturally thats why heavier ingredients like Silicones are not needy in her eyes

[@keylae7412]

Not all sulfates and silicones are bad, sulfates are supposed to cleanse your scalp. There are so many silicones and sulfates but they all get a bad rep, our hair needs a good balance of everything. Following the Cg hair method gave me flat roots and terrible dandruff because my scalp was never fully cleansed

[@6lhulhu6]

Right? I have alopecia, so when I give up sulfates most of my hair falls out. I wanted to know if these products work, not if they should be discarded without testing because they have prohibited ingredients for the CG method.

[@skoozi2]

love that youre giving these away. silicones in shampoo create more slip, because most silicones are water soluble it just washes out when you rinse it (I use the ogx coconut curls shampoo sometimes).Also I'm pretty sure cyclopentasiloxane is a silicone that evaporates, so it causes 0 build up. One of my holy grail products Aphogee Curl Definer has Trimethylsiloxyamodimethicone. A lil bit of it goes a long way. Everyone's exp is different but my hair hasn't changed at all since switching out of the CG method.

[@vs9400]

My hair is waaaay better since I quit the CGM.

[@ioriginale]

I love amodimethicone for my hair. I actually look for it in my leave in products. I don't believe anyone should be completely anti anything. There are some 4C curly girls that even use petrolatum as a sealer. If you have high porosity hair, after moisturizing, sealing with petrolatum may keep your hair moisturized longer.

[@orewahouston2143]

[@jilltedesco1956]

before i started the CG method for decades i used sulfate once a week and conditioners and stylers with silicones I my hair for decades grew like a weed like more then the average of 1/2 inch a month My hair was shiny and looked amazing and healthy. It wasn't until i went CG that my hair is a disaster and it's been a year and a half and i do moisture masks once a week sometimes twice i do protien masks so I think and am going back to silicones because i never saw damage i always had much growth i then went through a few years of keratin and amino acid treatments and i got my curls back with the cg method but frizz and ygness has been a struggle. so silicones are fine for really hard to manage currls as long as you use a sulfate to wash them out and using a sulfate a coi uple times of month followed by a siicone free mask is fine i have decades of photos to prove it.

[@hopiiii1]

If you had no problems why did you change products?

[@jesspavlichenko5745]

CG doesn't work for everyone. You know your hair best. Go back to what you did when you loved your hair For a lot of people, co-washes and conditioner rinses create an insane amount of build up on your scalp that messes with your hair growth. Its not for me either

[@gbarillasOfPa]

Hi Bianca. As always, an informative video that's fun and easy to watch. I watched the video you linked with Penny Tovar and noticed Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate on your list of sulfates. Despite its name it's actually NOT a sulfate but a surfactant that's derived from coconut and palm oil so if you ever see it listed on your ingredient list just know that it's a naturally derived foaming agent. I use it in my natural bath products all the time. 🤓💕🙋🏽‍♀️

[@gbarillasOfPa]

@Anna Bowen They are but surfactants aren't always sulfates. Surfactant just means that it foams and cleanses. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a naturally derived surfactant that's not a sulfate. It cost significantly more which is why so many people go with the cheap synthetic surfactants like sulfates which also happen to foam more.

Silicones are fine (they don't cause any more build up than heavy butters and oils that CGs say are "better"). The only time silicones are NOT fine is when they're in shampoo. Otherwise, how are you going to clarify them if they're in the thing you're using to clarify?

Hey Bianca, I have 3b-3c hair, my hair coarse, dry (my scalp too), damaged, short with probably a lot of split ends (I've never cut my hair yet), & I might have a lot if frizz which I don't know how to recognize it. As a kid my natural hair was always greased (I still use hair grease) & always braided , when I turned 11-12 my aunt convinced me to relax my hair, I think I relaxed my hair 2 to 3 times 4 max. The last time I used a relaxer was before my 13th birthday, since then my hair started been damaged, since back then I didn't know how to take good care of myself & my hair (& I'm still learning) I wanted to have beautiful hair like celebs but couldn't. Know I've came to realize that a relaxer is actually a permanent hair straightening treatment. In my circle & african beauty culture I grew up believing that a relaxer was just to soften the hair overtime & not make it straight. I've been going curly 4 years now, I don't know if my hair has finished transitioning. Normally when I shampoo & condition all together my hair would be curly & very soft (it also depends on the conditionner). I've switch to sulfate free brands like shea moisture not a big change, they have there raw shea & manuka honey shampoos which I hate cause they make my hair super dry & tangled, I love there coconut hibiscus curl smoothie (it makes my hair super soft, but stopped using it for now cause if I already grease my hair & add more creams to it I have a lot of product build up), I also like there raw shea conditioner, It makes my hair super easy to detangle & moisturized unlike the shampoo but is a little too thick like the raw shea hair mask which was okay but not wow (the mask was too similar to the conditioner for me, I didn't see it's necessity at all & plus the condi was much better), the only products that checked all the boxes & which is less talked about within there line is there 100% coconut oil hair mask (I super love it, It makes my hair super soft & curly, easy to detangle & has a coconut smell, but I'm still hunting for a better mask). Know I'm looking forward to try garnier wholeblends( which I've already tried), fructis & l'oreal ever line which sulfate free) shea moisture is too expensive in my country & since I'm in HS & don't have a lot of money I'm waiting until college to try high end brands . I used to use Kuza hair grease with a lice treatment but stopped it cause it made my hair lice worst, I've started using magic blue hair grease days ago, I'm aware that too much grease is bad for the scalp so I try to use less now, same with shampoo & cond. I've also tried styling my curly hair with creams & camille rose curling gel, but it wasn't good, I guess it's because I've used a lot of product, wasn't patient enough. Right know all I want is my hair to grow back by braiding & greasing it's the only method I know & can trust WHITHOUT TOUTUBERS TELLING ME TO PUT EGGS ON HAIR. I would love to try keratin treatments in the future I don't want my hair curly all time, & I would also love to try versatile relaxer that don't focus on totally straightening the hair but making the curls a little bit softer, I would love to try curly hair wash n go in the future if my hair accept it. What I want is to grease & braid my hair sometimes, do beautiful wash n gos with my curly hair, do Keratin treatments & blow outs or hair straightening, etc.. without my hair been damaged. I would also love to know how to grow my baby hairs longer, & make them softer they seem a little more coarse than the rest of my hair & are the reason why I can't do some styles. BIANCA ANY ADVICE PLEASE.

Nothing wrong with silicone, but for different reasons than your skin. With hair, silicone isn't inherently bad. It just builds up, and needs sulfates to remove. Since CGs don't use sulfates, the build up can get bad and weigh down the hair, plus not allow products to enter the hair. For people who use sulfates regularly, all silicones are 100% okay, and in fact probably protects their hair.

[@purplegirl8036]

I bought the cantu leave in only to find it had silicons. Don't waste your money!!

[@roxyroxii1152]

They have multiple lines including one for naturals that is supposed to be CG friendly.

[@Amy_omer]

They have two types one is for natural hair without silicone , sulphates and mineral oil and other has silicone 👎

[@beaniebeanbeaniebean]

I bought the leave in conditioning repair cream...

[@mysticari8928]

I use cantu leave in they have a newer one that is silicone free Its amazing!

[@beaniebeanbeaniebean]

@@mysticari8928 I think I'll try that one then!!

[@joanp105]

This was so very helpful. There are so many products with names we won’t recognize! I try, but still have spent so much on products that don’t work well on my hair. The worst is that when a shampoo or conditioner does not have things we don’t want, others in the same line do have them. Thanks again for all of your hard work.

[@tammydowell3723]

I try to avoid glycerin. I live in Florida. It's very humid. It helps with frizz.

[@carlym8701]

Yasss girl, so many brands make curly hair products with silicones which doesn’t help moisturize our hair at all. It’s a shame cause I’ve seen so many people with great curl potential waste their money buying them. I also avoid drying alcohols and waxes. Great video Bianca!

[@Curlygirllina]

I would actually like to see more videos of products you’ve tried but they didn’t end up working... the same same way you film products that do work. I used texture id and it works really well for my hair... the only thing I would change is the fragrance.

[@maricua82]

I love that you're donating your old products! That just made me like you even more.... you're awesome! Thanks for all the helpful videos! I'm starting my hair journey for the 2nd time... so I guess restarting it haha. And I'm finding your videos to be among the most helpful, so thank you!

[@dangamaas]

I feel like silicones and sulphates do not negatively impact my hair 🤷🏽‍♀️. Still growing out my head.

[@justjenny581]

Me too. So many naturals have said stay away from silicone, it has not impacted me negatively at all

[@micheller1219]

I went to a curl specialist and she use mizani on my hair so I’m in complete shock that it is on this list but it makes sense. She used the entire line and I had legit a frizzy Afro with maybe 2 defined curls. That was the worst my hair was ever styled. I felt horrible. She took pictures but never posted and my hair looked horrible compared to all her other clients which made me feel bad about my hair because I thought it was just me. She also didn’t style maybe hair types like mine but I don’t use parabens, sulfate or silicone myself and my curls have been popping, juicy and no frizz. I am still working on learning how to diffuse but I am honestly impressed with how it’s been going and very grateful. Thank you Bianca!

[@PorshiaVonne]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t deal with the ending. People are needy and just want a lil attention lmao.. google it! I’ve been kickin it with you on KZbin for a while now and your honesty is blossoming even more lately 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@TheJandBShow1001]

Ouidad has been the best thing for my hair

[@lynr8060]

I notice for some brands you only had one product which you stated had silicone. For example, Miss Jessie. I guess I’ll refer to your other video on how to read labels. Not sure if it’s that one product, or the entire Miss Jessie’s line. I must say, I’ve been on my journey for 11 months thus far and bought soooo many products, mainly expensive ones that claim to detangle, moisturize etc. the only product that works well for me are the Miss Jessie’s pillow soft curls, and pillow soft gel. When I apply pillow soft curls, I can actually detangle my hair without difficulty. No other product does this for my hair. Also, Miss Jessie’s leave in conditioner makes my hair really soft. I’ve also seen many curly hair girls with big beautiful curly hair that stated they don’t mind using silicones. I guess different products affect our hair differently. What may work for me, may not work for someone else. My aim isn’t to use silicones, however, if I found a product that works, I’m sticking with it for now until something better comes along. My hair sheds a lot and when I use Miss Jessie, my hair doesn’t shed as much. I do appreciate the videos you put out, I have referred to your videos in the past which have been very helpful and provided me the guidance I needed on this journey. I have learned a lot from your videos in terms of how to care for naturally curly hair. So thank you.

[@aryansamya2361]

You should make your own best Curling Conditioner and shampoo with natural ingredients!

[@zp58]

You are the best!!!! Thank you for be honest and amazing 🤗🤗🤗 I’m so disappointed that some of my favourite curly hair influencers use and recommended few products with silicone or sulphates without even mention about it.

[@veronicanevado8597]

[@njokimwithi7832]

I have the Marc Anthony Strictly Curls curl defining lotion and it works well for me, it does have cyclotetrasiloxane but apparently that's CG approved!

[@diasiamoore4433]

Hi BiancaRenee, I was surprised about Miss Jessies's products. I can't use any gels in my hair, no matter the company; crunchy, stiff, wore out my edges, and I think makes my hair fall out (Gorilla snot)anyway, after making my own flax seed gel I can nourish it with any oil I want, get definition, soft hold for 2-3days. Shampoos are my next venture-haven't found one I like, so far, they all dry my hair out. That'll be another DIY. GREAT video, Good looking out Dia

[@djlivvy46]

The only shampoos my hair has liked so far are the Creme Of Nature Argan and the Design Essentials Coconut & Monoi.

[@Nicole-te7xo]

Thank you for this video 💛 can you make a video of your top 10 favorite products? (Including leave-in, deep conditioners, stylers & gels)

[@elizabethmorrison3895]

Curly girl method is not for everyone with curly hair. I had so much build up on my scalp due to no sulfates. Talk about frizzy hair and dry hair. Sulfates and silicones are not that bad for you and a lot better than the build up on your scalp that can lead to hair loss, itchy scalp, dandruff, frizz, and dryed out hair. I mean look at deva curls hair loss. I get some people have healthy hair but its definitely not good for everyone with curly hair. I saw your channel 2 years ago and switched to cgm and have regretted it since. My hair is now going back to being healthy with my sulfates. Btw i havent watched since 2 years ago so im not sure what her stance on cgm is anymore. I felt like i had to do cgm to have healthy hair and it's just not for me and i found other people on KZbin with the same problem as me.

[@JE-im4im]

I’m sorry but it took Bianca damn near 4 yrs to grow her hair .who is she give tips ?

[@elizabethsteward5917]

Thank you for being so honest! I love your videos. Even though my curl pattern is different than yours, i feel like you really work to include information for different types of curls! My hair is still frizzy and im still learning, but ive learned so much from you. Just wanted to say thank you.

[@inebemil]

I would challenge you to diversify your talking points, perhaps facilitate a panel will experts across the multiple developmental stages of the products (entrepreneur/founder, chemist, lab technician, supply chain, marketing, retailer/hair stylist) I think this hard fast rule of no silicons no parabens no sulfates is over simplified and extremely repetitive

[@lisabrightly]

Bingo! She won't though. These youtubers just like making trendy, stupid videos. It's a shame because these videos are damaging to the brand's they disparage. Someone else pointed out that this woman's hair is dyed...funny, I think hair dye is extremely damaging and yet she's ok with that.

[@jennifermassey4014]

I only own one product you shown and I recently just finish the jar and never will repurchase. Great video!! 😃

[@sherilthomas1106]

Pls tlk abt hask products ...want knw abt it..plsssss😊

[@idyll5558]

[@faithchumba911]

Their curl enhancing lotion works wonders on my 4b hair

[@alissaspafford8846]

some are good some arent, just watch out for the silocones

[@stacieellis]

Silicones and sulfates are not that bad. My hair is doing much better when I added them back in. I researched it and listened to dermatologist and trichologists on it and yeah they are not as bad as media per trays. You can’t believe everything you hear. Gotta look at the research. With that said this video was actually helpful for me to see which products have these ingredients. I love silicones bc it creates slip which prevents breakage and easy detangling. And sulfate shampoos are not that bad if you alternate them with non sulfate shampoo and if you moisturize. But again I am no expert but this is what they recommend. But we all are free to do what we want with our hair. We are all different after all

[@shereenpowell2369]

Would love a gylcein free and protein free video Bianca

[@sheilaorangd1967]

I know many years ago my sister told me about silicon and I didn't know anything about what was going on with silicone I wish that I've known more about hair products when I was younger but I am a natural girl and I make my own products just like Carol daughter if she can make them in her kitchen so can I I don't sell them put and I don't give them away because there's a lot of people that don't believe in being natural and being having healthy year so all I could say is to avoid it make your own batch of everything and if you need a extra conditional whatever if you have the money go out and buy it if you don't make it in your own home

[@isaaclopez63]

I'm so shook Bianca actually did this video 😮.........THANK YOU!

[@ryanglitta2413]

I think you should also include alcohol because that shit dried out my hair so bad that I had to cut it.....

[@stephaniehenry9264]

great I just bought the whole line of bella curl last week for a twist out. It didn't work well. so 5 days later I just wet my hair with leave in conditioner and xtreme gel for the wash n go effect and it turned out good. I'm saying I wonder if them together made my wash n go work indirectly.

[@beautywearsboots6458]

Was SHOCKED when I saw ouidads ingredients! I spent the first half of summer figuring out frizz control in humidity and they let me down

[@karine8738]

You still use ouidad gel ? I was going to try it 😳😳😳

[@deniseruffini1688]

Just gave me frizz

[@satoribethel9789]

I don’t like the CGM. It’s not realistic. It’s strict and honestly sometimes silicones helps but you need to really strip it. You can use sulfate/silicones once in a while then stick with sulfate free but sometimes the hair does cooperate with those ingredients and I feel like it’s me because my color protectant shampo is a sulfate shampoo but it extends my color

[@reneerobinson6929]

Thanks Bianca!!! Lovely to give your curl friends what they want!! Personlly, I'm more with you on the "if it's on your chanel then you know it's sulfate, silicone, paraben free. However, I just realized while typing this that IS GREAT TO KNOW WHAT CURLY LINES DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THEIR PRODUCT!! A bunch of people in a shelter are gonna feel like it's Christmas! 😆

[@aleksandralempart8305]

I don't follow strict CGM so I'd probably use them given the chance since I'm poor

[@marielavasquez9020]

When I got my first Rezo cut, they pushed the Ouidad Vitacurl line on me and it honestly wasn’t all that great. Thanks for making this video! Super helpful, honest while still being classy 👍🏽🥰

[@EternallyLoved92]

I'm sure I'll catch flack for this, but I don't use SheaMoisture. I don't find it moisturizing at all! I have 2c-3a curls and that brand just doesn't do it for me.

[@jerr6223]

Emily Metcalf it doesn’t work for me either :(. I have used the coconut daily hydration conditioner and the strengthen & restore conditioner and by the time I rinse it out my hair feels super dry.

[@EternallyLoved92]

@@jerr6223 yes, Exactly! I've tried a few from them, can't remember which though and mine always felt the same.

[@MimiNwabuokuMD]

Hey, it depends on the range you use. They have a chart online that matches your curl pattern to the optimal range for your curl type. For example, the Manuka Honey set is fantastic for my 4C curl but might be heavy and greasy for curls looser than 3C. I like that SM is pretty affordable for us college students 👩🏽‍🎓

[@t.h.1492]

I’ve had no luck with their styling products so far. Their shampoos, conditioners and deep conditioners were good for me though. I know some who swear by that brand, I guess it’s up to your hair to call the shots

[@jerr6223]

I have like 2c hair and I loveeee the protein mask from SheaMoisture. I just recently tried Cantu conditioner and it made my hair feel super soft ❤️

[@Yaniza]

Thanks for this!! I forgot to comment this on your last video but a few weeks ago when I wanted to buy a new deep conditioner I literally searched “Bianca Renee best conditioner” rather than thinking back to commercials lol. You’re the best!! 🙌🏾 btw I went with Maui Moisture and absolutely love it 😊

Wow and here I thought Wen was safe. That explains why my hair ended up super frizzy and untamed after using it for a year. I’m still trying to repair my waves.

[@kelnesbitt]

The boxes of unused products tripped me out 😂 I will say that Bella curls surprised me. Never worked for my hair but I assumed it was silicone free smh.

[@OpinionatedScents]

Aussie Moist is the only line where I don't care about ingredients. For the price and the performance. Aussie moist can't be beat. I'm glad to see they weren't on here. Silicones actually make your hair shiney and in moderation, as long as you clarify and cleanse your hair.. all is well.
