My HONEST Fenty Hair by Rihanna Review on Type 3B-4 Curls | Is It Worth Buying?

[@AshleyMasse]

Y’all!! Thank you for all of your tips and recommendations on how to use the products! The brand literally just launched yesterday and this won’t be my last hair video using their products. My natural hair journey has always been trial and error for the past 8 years. I will use the stylers differently in more videos! Go get you some Fenty Hairrr!💕✨💜

[@helenogbonna3361]

Good review ✨

[@rebeccasmith3773]

i love the fact that she was actually honest about what she liked and didn’t like, a lot of hair&beauty influencers will just tell us everything is good when it actually isn’t.

[@MsPatricia2683]

Great review!!❤. Just some tips as a former master cosmetologist, when apply any styling products especially creams and/or gels…your hair is to be soaking wet and not just damp which causes flakes. It’s not the products but it’s the application which is the biggest issues I have seen with lifestyle content creators with natural hair products…the key is water. You have beautiful thick hair which you should apply your styling products in the shower right after shampooing your hair without towel drying- the results using ANY product is night and day compared to damp and half dried hair.

[@e.lisama]

This is so true ! I noticed it while doing my daughter’s hair with the gel that I use, when her hair is damp it flakes and when it’s soaking wet I don’t have any problem at all ! Thankyou for clarifying that I thought it was me lol 😅

[@lindadukes]

Thanks!! I'm taking note of this comment for my daughter and I.

[@vickyserr]

Thank you. This is what I needed to hear as I have the same problem u described, ❤

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

I prefer styling on damp hair because you get more slip and the product is more concentrated which means more moisture/hold. Plus it dries faster

[@calynnie]

I prefer damp over soaking wet hair. I feel it defines the curls so much better. Tabitha Brown products are amazing for this…nice juicy curls all the time😊

[@hi.goodbye2167]

That PR book is INSANE! Super cool!

[@AshleyMasse]

Right?!! The coolest package✨

[@MySkinnydip]

Very nice!

[@ashleybanksss]

[@thandisilec835]

[@WilliamsPinch]

Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is a pretty popular hair care ingredient…It’s not as reparative as hydrolyzed keratin but most people don’t have a sensitivity to it. So love that!

[@DrSimpleBeauty]

Right. Im pretty sure Briogeo uses it.

[@TheCurlyFitChicOriginal]

It is popular and in most hair products. I know because I have tried products with it in the ingredients. Such as Briogeo, Ouidad, Shea Moisture, Carol's Daughter, Miss Jessie's, Aunt Jackie's, and The Mane Choice. Products with that in the ingredients never work for me. I have found a handful of brands that do not have it or other protein products that my hair loves.

[@thefragranceapothecary7281]

Protein is BAD for a lot of people. And it’s in almost every product.

[@Qwertyflirty26]

I’ve seen a few people use the gel for a wash and go but as she mentioned it’s to slick hair back for ponytails and buns.

[@AshleyMasse]

I missed that part, but yes. I have seen a few use the gel for a wash & go as well

[@pabritova]

If thats the case, if should be able to control her hair, like it looks like she got a lightweight leave in on, no definition at all, no weight, nothing

[@Qwertyflirty26]

@@pabritova There’s another KZbinr who used the gel for a wash and go and she has 4C hair. She got definition but she pretty much used the whole jar and no curl cream; just gel on clean damp hair. It seems to be a light gel but she got great results.

[@alexandriaedwards1937]

Exactly I feel like they wanna be disappointed!

[@pabritova]

@@Qwertyflirty26 then it seems to be catered to type 3 hair or for type 4 maybe for twist outs and what not

[@adeshiabriana]

Just had to pause. Wow your hair is literally so beautiful 😢❤

[@AshleyMasse]

Thank you❤️

[@ladybird955]

I was waiting for you to mention the FLAKES… I did my Fenty wash day earlier today. Love love love the shampoo, conditioner, and deep conditioner. BUT the styling products ARE NOT FOR ME. As soon as I put the jelly on top of the curling cream I had to stop and wash it out. I’m glad I only added that combo to a small section. The fact that those two products didn’t gel(lol) together really hurt my feelings. Still love the other products. I hope Rihanna makes more styling products for us type 4 girls. Great review!!!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Apparently, you need to put gel on soaking wet hair, not just damp.

[@southside-hornbaby5325]

You not supposed to be using the curl cream with the sleek back gel. It’s y’all’s fault for not following instructions smh

[@carollewis3549]

Cream and jelly don't work together use one or the other separate

[@vanessaclark3443]

Thank you for the honest review, and what an amazing unboxing! Rihanna and her team really went all out with the launch of the line, so many smart choices. Just a thought about the styling products: aren't both the cream and gel water-based? Maybe they would have worked better if you didn't add extra water to your hair first? It seemed like adding water sort of drowned out the product as you applied it. Anyhoo, thank you for the vid!

[@AshleyMasse]

Yeah I think I agree. I’m not giving up on this brand yet!😂 I’ll use the styling products differently in another video!😊

[@TechWizz]

That's what I thought too. Looking forward to a second round.

[@TechWizz]

That's what I thought too. Looking forward to a second round.

[@inspirestrength505]

I knew that it would flake because when you applied the curl cream to your hair I could see how it was sitting on top of your hair it wasn't getting absorbed. Then you applied the gel it made it worse. But it ok your review was honest and I appreciate that xoxo

[@uberhaute_naturalz84]

Stylers don't absorb; they adsorb and if they have nothing to adsorb to, they stay on top of the hair

[@jazzyj904]

Why are you using words like “worse” 😂. Calm down.

[@inspirestrength505]

@jazzyj904 I am Canadian. Sorry if it sound strong no ill intended

[@chaunseawilliams5531]

I think it’s better to just use the gel on wet or damp hair….. it will work better and curls will be more define😊

[@leonoraphillipsjemmott8163]

You should try it on soaking wet hair. It gives great definition then

[@simplyzhara]

Hey girl love your honest review! I found that the stylers work best on soaking wet hair…my style routine looks exactly like yours but with experimenting I found the stylers did their job on soaking wet hair like in the shower still soaking wet ❤❤

[@AshleyMasse]

Thanks for sharing!!🤍 I usually do, but just for the sake of filming, I try to style outside of the shower😅

[@laura-mariepaynter2690]

Curious question here :) What does the drying process look like for you then? Do you towel dry, air dry, diffuse, hooded dryer? All or some of the above? When it's soaking wet, I wonder what to do afterwards :)

[@simplyzhara]

@@laura-mariepaynter2690 hey! I am a mood kind of natural lol but just depends on my mood and products so all of the above LOL! But for the Fenty Hair in particular, for my wash n go where I air dried, I only diffuse if I need to depending upon on the plans for the day. Soon as I’m done using the products on soaking wet hair I’m weird I call it giving my hair a hug lol where I take my microfiber towel and scrunch the products into my hair while my hair is soaking up the water my towel is soaking up the excess water and then taking the cream and gel and smoothing back into my hair. Ooooor air dry some time and diffuse the remaining or vice versa lol it really all depends if I’m running errands or headed out to an event/gathering. If I have a gel cast just whip out my favorite oil (olaplex is my favorite right now if not olaplex then Coca Nibbs oil from Camille Rose).

[@aarianjayy]

The deep conditioner was by far my favoriteeee product currently

[@inspirestrength505]

PR packaging to die for ♥♥xoxo

[@deborahdelgado3193]

I'm Puerto Rican and Italian with type 3B-3C, VERY dry hair, and those products work wonderfully on my hair. My ex husband was African and our three daughters came out with very mixed curly hair types. These products work perfectly for the girl that has 3C-4A type BUT NOT on the other two that have drier 4B type and 4B-4C type. Very little product is needed to curl and define. Adding "more" won't make it better. You SHOULD NOT use too much of the gel or else it will flake worst than snow. In all fairness, its true that these products will work amazingly for "most" curly girls out there hence the "inclusion" BUT will NOT be as DEEPLY EFFECTIVE on coil, COOOOIL hairs. Fenty should split the formula, one dedicated alone for Type 3s hair, one for type 4s, and one for KINKS.

[@danyjj]

thank you for the first impressions, i think the butter never even went into your hair cuticle because you have low porosity hair and coconut oil and large proteins don‘t go into the cuticle ❤

Great review. I really think her products are designed for use individually, not in unison. Try just the cream or just the gel, but a twist out seems to work best if looking for definition.

[@2koda1]

You have beautiful thick hair . I think you should have used a bit more of the styling curling gel; to get more of the curl definition.

[@deidredelange8914]

You need to do the gel and cream test before you mix it on your hair, could see it doesn't mix together. That causes the flaking. Been seeing the same feedback on the stylers from different reviews. Your hair is beautiful.

[@user-tv1vd4rq7g]

Yup..tells me everything I need to know from a 4c girlie. I don't play with money and nobody won't do it either..Factsss. I want the truth and your thorough review gave me just that.

[@iamamarie]

I think you should watch more than 1 video before making this decision. The products could be used for twist outs and other protective styles instead of wash and go’s. You would still benefit from the restorative properties of the products.

[@nonapplicable9590]

I feel like that defining cream is in regards into STYLING, it looks like you would get a defined braid out/twist out vs a wash and go.. i kind of wish you would've read the instructions/recommendations off of each bottle. A wash and go is typically really challenging to get right and ive always seen people either use alot of products, alot of water.or a particular method..so that's why ive never done a wash and go.. it's literally never been a wash and GO..it seems super time consuming... gel typically flakes also ... i feel like they work as expected tbh

[@nonapplicable9590]

update i went to a type 4 youtuber like 4b-4cish and she did a twistout with only the cream and it was super defined... so yeah its not for a wash and go lol... i also bet on a blow out it would probably come out bomb

[@AshleyMasse]

That’s exactly what I said at the end of the video if you watched till then… Also I’ve seen people use it for wash and go’s and they didn’t run into the same problem I had. Everyone’s hair is different and everyone can do what they want with their hair. As the pinned comment says, this will not be my last time using these products in the same way I did in this video.

[@TonyaPar]

It’s very interesting reading all of the reviews. I actually purchased the entire collection and have used it a few times. Personally, I do not like the smell. It reminds me of a product from the 90s but I can’t put my finger on it. The shampoos and conditioner are blah. Gives me … hotel shampoo/conditioner vibes. I like the edge gel. Leaves my edges soft yet slicked down. The only thing I might buy again is the edge gel and maybe the come back kid product. Honestly, I loveeeeeee her other product lines but this hair line is a miss for me.

[@SussexSandra]

Interesting review and thank you for your honest first impression. Your hair type is 3c/4a? I’ve watched other reviewers with more 4b/c hair. They agree with you with shampoo & conditioners. Where the difference of opinion seems to be is in the use of the gels & defining crème. I wonder if the additional water you added without the thorough detangling may have affected the curl definition?🤔 The defining creme and gel seems to work differently on different heads of hair. Even with people with similar hair types. You’re the first person I’ve seen with hair flaking. I’ve seen other users use the strong hair gel for wash & go with no issues. This definitely is a range for individuals to play with until they find a method that works for them. Thankyou for taking the time to do this video to give us your first impression. Will you do another trial & film it?

[@darealcuttyqueen]

I saw another You Tuber say the curl cream and gel don’t work well together. They also didn’t use any water when applying the gel or cream separately.

First I will say, your hair is beautiful and super thick. Secondly it seems as if you didn't wet your hair enough nor put enough products in your hair. I believe it's nit to be used for a wash n go😊

[@SolidSiren]

Some shampoos work better if you wash a bit more often. I'm a once a week girl for years, and some shampoos I have tried leave my hair weird and dry (dry and frizzy and bad) if I try to do my usual once a week wash. They work better somehow if I wash 2-3 times in a week. Idk how that doesn't make it more dry, but somehow it doesn't. Sometimes certain shampoos just don't agree with me. If Rihanna made this line for "all hair types", that might be the problem. You can't use the same things on every hair type.
