HAIRCARE // 10 botanical gels creams & custards for THE PERFECT coil & curl + secret tips | ALOVE4ME

[@SheReaDelSol]

I say this A LOT, but your hair is GIVINGGGGGGG.

[@ALove4Me]

Thank you 😊

[@Sloppyjoey1]

I love that you left room for non-synthetic/natural ingredient gels. Sometimes as black naturals we try to out natural the meaning of natural and it's not to shit on "botanical" but I love that you subconsciously acknowledge that a lot of us are looking for Eco/Wetline type of result and don't give a damn between the diff of botanical and all natural lol

[@mylynnj3792]

Your hair looks absolutely beautiful! It looks so healthy, shiny and full. I'm so happy you told us this was a twist out. I was guessing a wash and go all day.

[@gvenelus24]

The Obia Naturals custard is bae 😍 It works for all hairstyles and never flake no matter what I pair it with 🙌🏾 UFD gave me great definition but not enough hold for this Florida heat 🤦🏾‍♀️ Curl maker and the lavender crush gel did absolutely nothing for my 4a/4b curls so both of them went right back to Target 🤷🏾‍♀️ I don’t plan to try any of the other gels because I found my true love in the Obia Naturals custard and unless they change the formula, her and I will be together forever 🥰😂

[@fuchsia02]

Thanks for mentioning the thing about ufd. I live in a very humid place as well and I need my hold to lasttt

[@baileysmom0601]

UFD is updating their labeling and curly magic now has glycerin (with a few other things) listed in the ingredients. People who have gotten bottles from Target have the updated label.

[@danyale06]

I noticed on their website that they still have the old ingredient list. I wonder if I purchase directly if I will still get the old bottles.

[@J_Summer69]

That’s a real pity as I really liked that gel. I tend to avoid products with glycerin as I don’t like how it makes my hair look.

[@felicia_716]

UFD is claiming the ingredients haven't changed, they are just updating the label. That seems a little suspect to me. Even is that is the case, I can no longer trust the brand. It's really to bad because the gel was GOAT!

[@baileysmom0601]

@@felicia_716 I know someone who has tried a bottle with the new label and said it appears to work the same. I agree it's suspicious though.

[@baileysmom0601]

@@danyale06 according to them the ingredients haven't changed. Just the label has. It's suspect to say the least. It's a pretty different ingredient listing imo. Wish I had a way to post the picture.

[@1GoldenBreeze]

What, no KKCC!?! 🤣 🤣 It's the first botanical gel I used back in 2008 and is still in my stash to this day. Haven't used all of the ones on your list yet, but the ones I have used are great. I especially like the Obia Naturals Custard because many times I get much more hold than I want from some of the gels since I tend to wash and restyle twice a week. I've been eyeing Ecoslay, but it may have more hold than I'm comfortable with.

[@Erika-lv6lh]

Great video. Thank you for the tip on Treluxe. I don't get flakes but I don't get much hold either so I'll try the reverse wngo. Another 3 products in the realm of botanical products are Nature's little secret flaxseed gel and the Irish Moss cream and Ecoslay's Orange marmalade. A little goes a long way to avoid flaking though.

[@TheOnlyOluwa]

this twist out looks so good!! great video as usual

[@Heyy_Sirii]

Sooooo, almost immediately after watching this video I placed an order at Sally’s for The Conditioner. I also purchased The Cream. I used it with The Deux and my day-one wash-n-go is the best I’ve ever done.

[@ALove4Me]

Awesome!!! Glad it worked for you

[@msdiva]

Gurrrrl...that hair is fire 🔥!

[@Neosoul_prima]

I just love and live for your channel sis

[@dennissems]

I don’t have your hair type, but I love your content. I’ve learned so much, because some of my cousins do have your hair texture and we’re always helping each other make our hair looks even more beautiful 🥰😍😍😍

[@ALove4Me]

That is awesome!

[@dawnjohnson1635]

My husband uses Paul Michell the Conditioner. I guess I will be trying it out with these gels.

[@ALove4Me]

Paul Mitchell really is bae

[@felicia_716]

I also like Adowa when I want day 2 or 3 hair day 1! I don't get longevity from it tho so I only use it when I want volume for an event or get together.

[@DH-dt2hk]

Thanks for this botanical gel shop list and for info with pairings. I’m experimenting with gels right now so good timing 👍🏾

[@eileenward5668]

Yes you are definitely sleepin on she scented, you will love the products! Now the plum nectar & agave is soooo good but, Third eye angel (Bri) is the one that put me one to she scented. She just did a video of favorite brands or something like that and mentioned pomegranate & pear! It's also a must try, trust me. Enjoyed this video, thanks girl

[@aleishajames]

Another great video with great recommendations!! Definitely saving this to go back to for Black Friday shopping.

[@kearstenw3855]

Lol, ikr, I save all her videos!!!!

[@michellemorris4530]

Great great video(as they all are), use many of these botanical gels/custards, yep for some there is a learning curve, you just have to try them and see how they will work, maybe re-visit them again if not successful on the first go round!

[@gloriajames34]

Gloria James Thanks for the tips on the different pairings of products to use. Your hair looks fantastic.

[@memim6621]

Hiiii 🖐🏽 from the UK. Your hair is gorgeous! ❤️ Thank you so so so much for this info. I've been natural for about 6 years, my hair is type 4, tapered, and thought I was lo po (according to water test). I can do a wng but recently I've noticed my hair just won't retain moisture no matter what I do (hi po characteristics). I have a few botanicals and I know they're moisturising, but I struggled to find a leave in that mixed well but didn't add too much moisture, cos then my hair wouldn't curl. I also have PM The Conditioner, so you've just solved my problem. And the info about the oil for Xanthan gum based products is just gold! Update: Just did a WnG, it came out great! PM the Condish, SM Cupuaçu Gel (elongation), a little SM Coconut & Hibiscus Gel Soufflé (very moisturising oily gel), and topped with ORS Curl Clumping Gel (for hold). Moisture, shine, elongation, definition and hold. My quest is finally complete! 👍🏽❤️

[@ALove4Me]

I'm so happy for you! Enjoy that good wash and go life

[@nasharyeversley7822]

I was just googling botanical hair products, and then I saw this video 🙌🏾

[@iateyursandwiches]

7:30 yeah same with themane choice crystal orchid gel. They say to mitigate the flaking, use the oil that comes with it under. Also, with mielle coiling custurd.

[@Godisloven09]

Excellent list and combos!

[@naturallykool]

So good!!! Really great video and recommendations💜

[@ALove4Me]

Thank you!

[@towandawoodson5825]

Thank you sooo much for the tip on using Treluxe. I will definitely be trying the oil with it.

[@adjeleganl2984]

Thank you for doing this video. It's such a great help and you look beautiful!

[@0625harmony]

I’ve only gone a wash and go 1X and I used the uncle funkys with curl love under and I loved the results

[@jewellee7205]

Thank you so much for the detail and effort you put into your content. This was extremely helpful!!!

[@angel_arabella]

The first ever used on my hair (by a stylist) was KInky Kurly. I couldn’t get it to act right myself 😂. But I mostly used Curlmaker and UFD. I ma try Treluxe once my stash gets low 😊

[@justKKB]

First of all...LOVE the hair!!! It is GIVING🙌🏾🤣 And great vid😁 Love the Adwoa leave in, too. Have you tried the Treluxe cream with the gel in a wash n go?

[@ALove4Me]

Yes, and it wasn’t a hit for me

[@phylliscombs8819]

Love this video

[@MsRouge2000]

Great information!

[@anneel8115]

Thank you, very informative. I would add Kinky Kurly Kurling Custard, Earthtone's Defining Gelly (learning curve but stickiness disapears if you top it with mousse) and Alikay's lemongrass gel but not sure if that one is pure botanical. Did you try Ecoslay's Orange Marmelade?

[@ALove4Me]

Not yet, but it’s in my stash

[@nkengepatrick5424]

I tried the tre luxe and I really enjoy it. I bought it at Walgreens but I will make sure to use your link the next time. I also like that they are giving back to the community

Hi your hair is so pretty in this video. Is Unicurl still around? I couldn’t find it anywhere.

[@ALove4Me]

Just in sally Beauty and very few of the products

[@sphanksjohns]

Gorgeous hair today.

[@WhatTheKink]

Re-watching this older video and I see that KZbin put auto chapters on it...might want to go in and tweak those, lol.

[@ALove4Me]

Oh my, thank you

[@nykka3]

How often do you use a deep conditioner (ie. Paul Mitchell)? Thanks for such a comprehensive review.

[@ALove4Me]

I deep condition a few times a month

[@CoilyDiaries]

Isint Camille rose custard meant to be rinsed out?

[@ALove4Me]

Yes, it's a rinse out conditioner

[@nedramiller]

This was my first time hearing about a reverse wash n go? Why would someone use that? I'm in the learning process. Thank you.

[@ALove4Me]

Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3TMY3WpiN-fZpo

@@ALove4Me Thank you. so basically it's to give fullness on day 1. I LIKE that!

[@ALove4Me]

@@nedramiller Yes and some gels give better definition when put on before the leave-in

[@nedramiller]

@@ALove4Me okay.. thank you so much. This learning curve is taking longer than I anticipated. :-)

Hi!! Love your content/channel! I am trying to transition to botanical gels. Have you by chance come across Any that are great for slicking down type 4 hair? Or am I pretty much stuck with Eco, wet line, etc.? Thanks!! 🥰

[@ALove4Me]

Nope, I stick with ECO for that

[@pameladavis895]

Please give me your take on the tgin honey curls custard. It have agave nectar. I've used it and like it.

update! TGIN changed the formula and it looks like a gel! I don't like it!

[@michalovesanime]

I can't find the Paul Mitchell the conditioner in Europe 😥

[@ALove4Me]

oh no!

[@absolutelyinfinity]

Do you find you still need to apply oil to avoid flakes when you use the treluxe leave in and gel together

[@ALove4Me]

Always

[@absolutelyinfinity]

@@ALove4Me Always so responsive and helpful. I’ve learned so much about how to take care of my hair from you. I’d love a video about styling tips for hair that is both low porosity and has coarse strands, if you have any.

Can a reverse WNG work with eco gel?
