Melanin Hair Care Review Part 2 | Twist Elongating Cream w/ Leave-In Conditioner

[@debbik30]

Your hair is really growing. I’ve been following you since the big chop. 😍😍

[@zheahra]

Hey, Joy-el. I still like the product. But I don't plan on repurchasing it. I can get similar results by mixing a moisturizer, oil, and conditioner (wash out or leave-in). I think Whitney has a fine texture of very curly hair. You and I have medium textured curly hair. That makes a huge difference in how products will work in our hair. Ppl confuse the curl typing system with the three hair texture types: fine, medium, and coarse. All hair textures can have varying curl patterns (combination or mixture], in some cases it can be straight. Yes. There are ppl with coarse straight hair.

[@daniellenicole1980]

zheahra very true and well said! I myself have fine textured type 3 hair, and this product works amazingly well for my hair type. I don’t even have to use a leave in with this because it’s so moisturizing and my hair loves it. I think we should all listen to what our hair likes, and use what works well with it accordingly. Just because this works for one doesn’t mean it will be the same for all and that’s ok! I always say hair has a personality of its own!! Lol

[@nonalolagirl]

Whitney doesn't have a fine texture though. I have (low porosity, fine texture, but high density), and get completely different results from her but it still works well.

[@TheJamaicanQueenie]

I am one of those people with coarse straight hair all in the front! Thank you for recognizing this.

[@ossier2796]

Thank you for admitting that you didn’t do it properly and giving it another go.

[@luxury-lyfe]

Welcome I think it's supposed to be used in twisting the hair and applying it individually help create a hold pattern as well as moisture and the oil is used to lock in the moisture

[@Timetrae]

Your fro is just gorgeous!!!! And YAAAYYYY it worked!!! 🎉

[@Meggs93_]

Can you please make a video on how you pick out/stretch your hair? Thanks! 💜

[@nonalolagirl]

You gave it a shot and that's all that matters : ) but I agree, I don't think this is the product for you, personally. It's a styling product, not a leave-in. Which means you have to be willing to manipulate your hair to get the desired affects. That's just how styling products work. I get the most moisture of my life with this product but only after I do twist or braid outs using the products as directed. My leave-ins have never left my hair feeling moisturized to this extent. While this product does work with wash n gos, you'd still have to do some styling, not do a literal wash n go. So basically you'd definitely have to add this cream, (then add an oil or gel-LCO method works best here for some reason), then massage the hair in small sections as I've seen you do in your other styling videos. In any case, I don't think you need to worry about our reactions so much haha. Besides the leave-in on the first video, it seems you used the product just fine.

[@astrotilliams]

I’ve been watching mostly male hair care channels but I stumbled here and I learned a bunch! I’m subbing! 🙌🏾

[@thesun3141]

Hey pretty girl loving the fro as usual. Love from 🇹🇹 ❤💚

[@DH-uw3us]

You are so gorgeous. You literally look like a work of art. I think twistouts look so pretty on our hair type. I am curious to see what the max hydration method would look like on your hair.

[@marinahernandez7103]

Hi Joel, thanks for a honest review.

[@naturallyjelly2277]

I love your afro 😍💜

[@NunyaBness]

I wish I could just use one product and that’s it. 😳 I HAVE to layer leave ins, creams, and oils.

[@tditty79]

Try the honey leave in by Camille rose, it works well with the elongating cream. Just used it today.

[@ossier2796]

I prefer one and done. Thanks for the updated review 😍

[@ZJDB0102]

I've been adopting your method of not using combs/brushes lately because I have type 4 hair too and I think that the combs/brushes are giving me split ends, because the more I use them, the worse the single strand knots get. It's honestly been working out and it's not that bad to just use my hands to separate and detangle.

[@NaturalRawEssence]

Not sure what's the difference between layering and mixing the products. Isn't that the same? I'm confused.

[@Micah1223cs]

Some hair types will accept certain products in various ways. Meaning you apply the product, let it sit a few mins to sink into the hair shaft and then add the next product which will then be absorbed also. On the other hand, there are products that if mixed together directly, leaves a film on the hair (this means it's not soaking in, it could be too thick...and is just sitting on the surface). Think of adding water to oil...doesn't mix well, right? But if you spritz your hair with water, work it in...then add oil, now you're in business. Layering just means working one product into the hair at a time. Hope this helps Love. Have a nice day.

[@NaturalRawEssence]

@@Micah1223cs Ok, I normally just add water or leave-ins then products. I don't like to apply products on dry hair until it's blow dried and needs it to stay in its stretched state. Thanks for the reply.

[@tish1802]

My scalp also itches if any product touches my scalp. I struggle with finding an oil that doesn't irritate my scalp also so it always feels dry and i hate it.

[@zheahra]

I know this may sound odd. But try the oil at the beauty supply for for natural and synthetic wigs, not the commercial stuff. Get the cheap one with the simple ingredients you know, e.g. jojoba. The one I have is light green. It's very light and absorbs well into your scalp relieving any irritation.

[@sellac.1569]

You're doing what works for you and it shows. The bigger the fro the longer the hair❣️

[@Raynieday6969]

A roller set would be great on you

[@HeyitsKimberlee]

I agree with you using it the way YOU do your hair. If you’re not into sectioning your hair, then don’t. If down the line you start sectioning your hair then cool but I think it’s more interesting to see how people style their hair differently and what products work well no matter how you style your hair.

[@safiyasaidi7860]

You should try wave formers

[@msmishLA]

I could never apply products like that not if I expect a decent result. Anywho...love the fro🙌🏽🙏🏽👍🏽

[@rachybaby72]

She's applying it the way _she_ normally applies it.

[@NaturalRawEssence]

I feel the same way. I definitely have to section my hair but I guess it works for her.

[@nonalolagirl]

@@rachybaby72 but if you want the results that people with the same texture/type/density/porosity get, you should incorporate some of their methods. If it doesn't work the way you normally do it at first, then try it another way. That's how joy-el was when she first BC'd, she didn't want to listen to anyone and when she started to she was shocked that it worked and that she got good results on her styles. When I first got this product, I tried it the way I usually use styling creams. It wasn't perfect, so I tried it the way Whitney does in her videos and it was perfect.

[@rachybaby72]

@@nonalolagirl Her hair is short. My hair is short. You don't need to section when you have short hair. And she doesn't have to listen to anyone. ?? Anyway, that comment was snark disguised as nice. There was no need for that.

[@nonalolagirl]

@@rachybaby72 I'm not sure what short hair has to do with anything and who was being snarky. To get the results you want, sometimes you have to do a bit more manipulation and take your time. If you don't want those results of course you, or anyone, can do what they want but that's not the products fault. She's using it like a butter, not a styler. (no one tried to tell her what to do btw????)

[@KLT828]

The melanin hair cream is a moisturizer which is suppose to give moisture to the hair , if you do a twist or braid out it gives some sort of definition. I don’t think you are using it wrong because I don’t use a leave in and it does what it’s suppose to do which is giving my hair moisture. Some things just don’t work for every body so don’t go crazy wondering why it’s not working out for you.

[@samantha132]

I'm TOTALLY confused with this video. I had to watch Whitney's 31.57 minute video on her products again to be sure what I'm saying is correct. She even calls it a TWISTING BUTTER! If the product is a TWISTING STYLING CREAM, shouldn't it be used to twist your hair in a style? Why would you use the cream on a fro? The cream isn't for fros. You can use it for a wash n go as well according to her other videos where she uses the products. She says to use a leave in bc while the cream has moisturizing properties it's a styler. She herself says these things, I'm just parroting her. Please don't shoot the messenger, I just don't want her products to get a bad rap bc the Cream wasn't used the proper way... Sorry! 👍🏽❤

[@sable7114]

This lady did wash and go, she went directly to the soccer game or baseball game or something and then came back.

[@sable7114]

Oh and I don't think she's giving any product a bad rap oh, it just didn't work for her. All products don't work for everyone.

[@TC-gx3qn]

Exactly

[@dross5556]

I’m new to your channel. I am curious to know why you do not section your very thick hair into smaller parts, while applying your hair products. Seems to me, you would get better results this way. At least apply your leave-in conditioner in the shower while it is wet.

[@tonyawilliams9337]

I have residue when I mix certain leave ins and moisturizers. Thanks for sharing

[@TheJamaicanQueenie]

How often should you wash your hair! I wash mine every two weeks. Is that ok?

[@bored151]

How often do you wash you hair?

[@ossier2796]

I don’t section either, I don’t put products on my scalp and I don’t do twist but I use this cream. I think I used too much.

[@courtneyjazz1908]

Sending love from South Africa❤😀

[@fabiola925]

What do you do with your left over products?

[@laurawilliams4087]

You are suppose to use it for twist out...its twisting cream...

[@curlyoof1927]

Mane choice original. Sorry you already told me it was on your list

[@l.s.1970]

You're too cute!😊 I feel the same way, if I'm paying for this product, I shouldn't have to use another product for it to work. Thanks for the part 2!

[@lenaedyse9634]

It's your hair and your time. If using this product will add more time(and products)to your wash day routine without extra benefits(that is worth your extra time)..........then this product is not for you. I am personally trying to lock down my wash day routines(depending on what needs to get done.....protein treatments, rinses, etc)on time and the products that I use. Even though there are a lot of products out there(so so many products out there....somewhere......"beneath the pale moon light"🎶🎶🎶🎶), I have to keep in mind my personal goals: to cut down time when doing my hair and spending less money in the process. By the way, your fro is looking as luscious as EVER!!!✨✨✨✨😎

[@Boredthumb]

use more products

[@AK-ub9bk]

Gel is key for natural hair & your aloe vera . Wet it , spray your aloe water & braid it with gel then pick it out while it's damp in the morning & repeat as wanted . "Always style with gel"!

[@jasminegathersanderson3954]

WOAH. Do you live in Arizona:0 bc if yes then SAME!!!!

[@chloesutton7716]

Good video not all products work the same for everybody, and that's ok.

[@syfldn8182]

I never realized your hair was dark brown.

[@peacheslenoir6862]

Urg I love 4c hair so much 😭

[@reginag4246]

I'm a mane choice girl there products are amazing 😍🥰

[@msstacey777]

I bought the cream and oil and once delivered, I had it shipped back for a full refund. I felt like the cream would be too heavy and would just coat my hair and eventually make it dry because over time, unless I clarify regularly, water wouldn’t be able to penetrate my hair. Just my thoughts! 🤔

[@12109babygurl]

aww

[@lokienvy]

Your face reminds me of Elizabeth Moss. :)

[@tiarutherford493]

I completely missed the notif

[@shannonpayne3041]

Ah boy, you're just different 🙂

True, you are false. Watch all the video's before you comment and look stupid.
