DRUGSTORE, VEGAN & CRUELTY-FREE CURLY HAIR PRODUCT BATTLE | Pacifica vs Sun Bum Review

Girl...you honestly saved my hair. I hope you know that you’re literally a life-saver ❤️

[@arianareyes8001]

i agree mel is the best 💕

[@neen42]

I really didn't think I could double shampoo. I was wrong - no more itchy scalp! I was so afraid of overdrying my scalp, especially in the winter.

[@fathiabalgahoom3785]

Could you use some Not Your Mothers versus Maui Moisture maybe?

[@biancajingles2690]

Yes I would love that!!!! I use the NYM curl talk gel and it’s pretty good ☺️

[@dolcebelcanto3626]

yes!! I've been using NYM's curl talk products, and I want to try Maui's shampoo and conditioner but I haven't seen many reviews

[@soniajaunita7541]

Any chance you could review the Ouidad Twist line? I love their products and I’m curious to know how their drug store line compares with their usual luxury products.... might make an interesting side by side.....Ouidad $9.99 products versus Ouidad $25+ and over

[@arlynch.jimenez3543]

I really would like to see more products for sensitive scalp. Sensitive scalp can get irritated or very very dry easily, and it hurts a lot. So thats why I can not use dry shampoo, or some treatments in my scalp. Thanks for doing this content. Stay safe!

I use the Pacifica curl cream which is nice but when I use the salty waves spray after it spirals up like A whirlwind! I do but like to see Mell or the cousins use salt sprays

[@desireeadrian5722]

I have been eyeing all of those Pacifica hair products! Blew my mind when I discovered they had a wavy line also! I am so tempted to try them all, wish I could find sample or travel sizes of them. Perhaps their cousins could try those products out? They both had gorgeous results!🤗

[@lisatownsend3563]

Your facial expressions are priceless. You and Amanda are the best on KZbin. Thanks so much for helping us curly girls. ❤️

[@laurendean5867]

I would love a video that goes into what ingredients to look for that are good and bad for color-treated hair, especially in products that are good for it but aren't necessarily marked as such (but instead for curls, etc.). Especially for reds, since it fades so quickly!

[@heatherspringer560]

Would you do a review on the brand Hask?

[@priscilabee583]

Haha, that sun bum curl cream consistency did look disturbing and similar to something else 😂 #dirtyminds

I tried this method yesterday of just putting a leave in and then aveda curl cream (a butt load of it) with no mousse or gel. Worked well half the day but by mid afternoon my head exploded into a frizz bomb. This is Alabama USA though. Today I’m back with a head full of mousse.

[@nancylopez4257]

Yay! I'm so happy you used Sun Bum! I use the 3 in 1 leave in, the curl cream, and the other shine serum they sell!

[@kelliadams8142]

Bought a sun bum leave in conditioner awhile ago and I LOVE that smell. You've pretty much convinced me to try a bunch of their other products now. That oil spray is the kind of positivity I need in my life rn!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Great video. Disappointed both products have coconut in it as my hair has a reaction to it. Maybe you could do a video on drugstore products that don't have coconut in it? Thank you.

[@simonegouveia1635]

Great video as always and I love the pop of yellow in your inner corner and the blue at the end, your makeup matches the package of both bottles and I LOVE THAT summer vibes and I am here for it 🙂

[@jenniferprice9971]

It’s nice to see a lightweight product hair day. As I’ve started a new job recently and am washing my hair more frequently because my hair starts smelling like work and I don’t like it besides getting things in my hair sometimes. I am mainly putting a leave in conditioner in and letting it air dry on days when I work especially as I have to put my hair up and short hair doesn’t keep curls when put up for several hours a day at least mine doesn’t so it’s not worth styling everyday. It’s nice seeing there are ways to style my hair with little product and still enjoy it at least the evening and morning before work.

[@broomski2673]

could you do a video on how to go about getting a career in specializing in curly hair? i’m very interested in it but have no idea how to find the right education or job

[@elizabethdrew6732]

Another amazing texture tuesday. I was surprised i really expected the sunbum to hold out better but the more definition you get the more the curls can fall.

[@olliethebum3430]

Definitely picking up that sun bum oil mist, every oil I’ve tried weighs my hair down but that looks really nice and light

[@ayeitsscott550]

I’m so happy you made this vid. The pineapple curls conditioner changed my life! ...ok I’m May be exaggerating a bit, but that conditioner is literally the best conditioner I’ve ever tried. It makes my wash days so easy! I used to have a hard time detangling and with this conditioner is takes me 5-10 minutes now. It also always leaves me hair so soft! I’ve never experienced that with any other conditioners. I have 3b-3c curls and my mom have 2b waves and she loved it too. It really has become a staple in my wash Fay routine. 🥰

[@ayeitsscott550]

Also, I get that you only used the styling cream, but I highly recommend the conditioner for anyone who has dry hair and has a hard time detangling.

Hey Mell! I have some 2C-3B curls but they get straight at the ends, caused by heat damage. I’m on my curly hair journey and trying to use every tip, trick and styling back that you provide, but I always feel so insecure about my hair because I have great curls at the root and then at the mid length of my hair it starts to lose its curl and becomes pretty straight. I recently cut the front pieces of my hair to get long bangs but then back Is always dry and not defined. Any other suggestions? Love you ❤️ you’re the reason I’m starting to love my curly hair!!

I loved every part of this video 😂❤️ thank you for revue Sun Bum! It was nice to see how it acted with your hair!

[@iingrid8691]

I have looser curls that loose their shape so fast, like yesterday I took a shower and diffused and my hair looked great (used miss Jessie’s soft creme and gel) and it lost most it’s shape over night but then I refreshed it and it was nice but then lost its shape again just a few hours into school and I had to put it up. It went limp! Idk what to do

[@desireeadrian5722]

I have this issue with fine, low-medium density hair. I have to avoid heavy butters and oils. Creams in the more humid months are minimal for me, as they will just weigh my hair down and lose its shape. Same as you described. At most, just a wee bit on the ends. I also find that I have to chelate or clarify, to get more shape back if my looser curls start turning into waves.

[@seekeroftruth1484]

Use less product especially near your roots. You may need to try a different product that’s weightless. The Sun Bum looks like it tightened up her curls.

For real, the Sun Bum 3 in 1 Leave-In Hair Conditioner Spray has been my ride-or-die leave-in conditioner ever since i embarked on my curly journey 3 years ago and it gets NO LOVE. It has all of the things i love: vegan, UV protection, silicone free, colour safe, and smells like the beach. I have thinner wavy curly hair and ive never found a leave-in that I like more. I use about 7-10 pumps after ever shower and its *Chefs kiss*. You don't use it in this routine but I'd love to know your thoughts!
