Curly Hair Products I DON'T RECOMMEND! | BiancaReneeToday

Yep... I thought it was time for you all to see what products DON'T make the cut. All of these products contain either sulfate, parabens or silicone. If you are trying to use products that are CG Friendly or products that won't cause build up... avoid these products.
ALWAYS READ the back of the lables to see what ingredients you are putting in your hair. It's so important especially if you are transitioning or trying to recover from heat damage.

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

[@emilyalvarado815]

[@melissamiller9071]

OH MY GOODNESS! Pantene straight up lies about their ingredients too. IDK how the get away with it... their rose water line is marketed as sulfate and silicone free, but the conditioner has bis-aminopropyl dimethicone in the top ten ingredients... This silicone is not able to cause build up, but it is still not water-soluble.

[@rashaetate310]

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 agree with you, I tried Ouidad and my hair loves it

[@nrey4255]

[@Katherine_xs]

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

Unpopular fact: Almost every hair product is going to have some type of ingredients we (curly hair community) try to avoid. If you don't want these ingredients you are better off making your own stuff. Your hair is going to grow regardless because that's what it's meant to do. I heard this info from Chazz and when you think about it she's right.

[@samf.s8786]

No girl, you're 100% right and don't have to be apologetic about it. Your "unpopular opinion" is pretty much the truth imho.

[@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.

[@prynkya]

Exactly.

[@BeautyArcadeNYC]

I don’t think she understands that not all silicones have different functions...a lot don’t build up and use moisture lock. Also not using sulfates don’t a good ideal. If you use conditioning cleanser’s as your routine and your not shampooing with regular shampoo you will get a build up on your a Scalp,specially if use styling products.

[@kara2952]

You're like a curly hair mentor that teaches everyone how to take care of their hair and i love it i would've been sooooo lost on my curly hair journey if it werent for you Bianca lol thanks for teaching me all about silicone, sulfates, and parabens youre the best!!! Cant wait for your next video!! 😊💕

[@Lena2light]

I noticed that for my hair, anything that has coconut oil or anything with coconut dried out my hair. Unfortunately, it’s almost in every shampoo/conditioner for curly hair. And also, not all silicones are bad. Personally, my hair is down to my knees and I prefer to use some silicone products. ❤️

[@SpEdEssentials]

Lenalight yes. im in same boat. i use giovanni tea tree shampoo lus conditioner and styler. my hair looks like a frustration doll if its has coconut or protein

[@slightlyrancidcheese]

Same! I personally find that styling products with silicone in them tend to make my curls less frizzy without weighing them down too much. It's all personal experience and how you hair reacts 🙂

[@mleecthulhu]

Yea, it has something to do w the lipid chain and how it doesn't bind to water as well...(something like that) They say to use CCN oil on dry hair.

[@sonte.theFoodie]

I noticed, that I'm allergic to coconut oil. It burns my scalp, causes it to itch, and when my hair is wet with coconut, I get a BAD headache. Ugh.

[@lilacfaerie1619]

Sonte Brown omg I thought I may be the scent! Now I’m wondering if I’m allergic to coconut oil. I do get slight reactions (breakouts that aren’t quite zits, more like rough bump red raised bumps) on my skin, but when I use coconut oil on my scalp, I don’t get a physical reaction, but I get awful migraines! (I get migraines regularly due to a brain condition, but it’s heightened if I use coconut oil on my hair).

[@MsAngie2.0]

When you said this is the first box I was like 😳😳😳😳

[@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.

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.

[@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.

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.

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.

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!

You are a smart cookie! This video was a whole bunch of fun to watch!

[@marinahernandez7103]

After many years of relaxing my hair, I’m learning how to deal with my natural hair journey. So, thank you for the review on what products contain unhealthy ingredients for us curly girls.

[@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

[@JE-im4im]

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

[@kendalllee46]

Despite people having their opinions or brands in their feelings about putting out 💩 products! This was a very helpful and insightful video she never said anything malicious about the brands just those few ingredients! Thank you Girl for saving my Curls😩

[@mariazakaria9514]

Omg I loveeee how ur nails match your shirt!!♥️♥️

[@aryansamya2361]

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

[@BeautifulDirtyRich93]

I was very surprised to see the Boucleme gel and thankfully it's CG friendly and it was just a personal preference... Personally, I like the smell though!!

[@marissaamartinez11]

Yay! I’ve seen the other videos and the one with Penny was how I started following you!!!

[@wellno3731]

I love this! I totally also like knowing what to avoid and what to look out for. Ty!

[@t.h.1492]

The ouidad advanced climate control gel is cg approved! But I think everything else in the line is not. I use that gel in the summer since it keeps out the humidity, and more importantly, has UVA/UVB protection

[@tammydowell3723]

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

[@steviyounger7012]

Oh my gosh ur amazing I have been looking for someone to learn from since accepting my curls for what they r being a blonde white girl with curly hair has been hard to accept my natural hair but I have finally gave my straightener the boot. and finding someone who isn’t sponsored and broadcasting her own opinion is amazing

[@shereeseblackman7871]

Guuuurrrllll....Texture ID, felt the same about it...didn't do it for me at all...thnks for doing this video Bee..it was much appreciated that you took time out to do this

[@mrsarnez2u]

Do you like or use any of the mane choice products? Would like to see some of the affordable product results.

[@brandyfleurismond8927]

Great video! So helpful!!! I was disappointed by the TGIN having silicone.

[@kymag04]

Omg WEN!!! 😂 I completely forgot about that hair product! I use to want it when I was younger because of the commercials 🤦🏽‍♀️ I was so excited for the Aveeno Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo because I needed a clarifying shampoo and I found it but I was so sad I couldn’t buy it because it had sulfates. Thanks to you I was able to read the ingredients! 🙏🏽

[@DD-od5qr]

It’s funny how I stumbled on this video today. I got rid of so many products yesterday because I now know what to look for in reading the ingredients from your Target video with Penny. Lots of money wasted...but trial and error right? Now I gotta get to work on my hair and hope things turn out better for me because my hair is a frizzy mess all the time. So thank you.

[@detrajackson5992]

I honestly do not know HOW to feel about this video. It popped up on my list after watching another video so I watched. All I can say is "Really girl"?? What works for some just does not work for others...I tried all of the "No No No" products ( its what I call them). Many of those products had the same effect; some worked some didn't. I now have a pik a product selection in that I have product favorites across the brands along with other stuff that I make myself from natural ingredients and essential oils.

[@leahthomason4803]

I’ve been wanting to use texture Id styling cream for the longest time but I thought it had a sulfate

[@Beckeybc89]

I do sulfate silicon and paragon free and my hair has been loving me for that! my curls are more define. and it's thicker. my hair was looking hella thin but now they are bouncy full and full of life! :) Thank you for all them videos! it's even harder to find something without coconut. but well worth it.

[@NaturallyJaz]

First, let me say that your lashes look so amazing!! & your curls are on point 😍. ( Now back to watching the video ) 🤓

[@Amy_omer]

Thank you sister Bianca because of you I spend more time in the supermarket checking all of these ingredients 😂👌

[@Jojolinette]

This video is so helpful. I have seeing a lot of big influencers recommending Ouidad because it’s “CG friendly” i was even thinking about getting some of them but now I’m glad you did this video because I will definitely not wasting my money on them. Another one that I got from Influenster was se Aveda shampoo and conditioner but I never used it (Thanks God) lol Again Thank you for making this video 💕

[@jasmineeeism]

Ouidad uses water soluble silicones. And they're products are actually amazing.

[@ffssheeple]

Ouidad is Simply the best! I've wasted so much time and money on other products and Ouidad is fantastic and doesn't leave buildup from silicone. Give it a try I'm sure you won't regret it 😉

[@samanthalynn9791]

So so so helpful! Thanks for speaking on these products 👏🏽

[@cynhydes7471]

Thanks for this video! As always enjoyed it a lot. Have a great Sunday darling! 😘
