4C Natural Hair - Giovanni Direct Leave In Review - NaturalMe4C

[@amminarose]

If you go to Marshall's and maybe a TJ Maxx, you can get the 33 oz. for $10- $13. Love your videos!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks and thanks for the heads up! :D

[@glw5166]

You are adorable! Thank you for a great review!

[@NaturalMe4C]

glw5166 Aww thanks!!

[@DiscoveringNatural]

Wow I did not know about the ingredient changes. This is our leave in... it works well for us. We also use it in our DIY Hair Spritz

[@NaturalMe4C]

Yeah it's a mess I don't know which is the newest formula :/

[@takunyamaguchi6278]

Omgosh I really wanted to try this but I didnt want to go all the way to target to get it because my target is a too far. So today I went into one of the many beauty supply stores on main street to get the elasta qp creme conditioning shampoo and I saw the whole line of Giovanni products on the shelf and the direct leave in only cost 8 bucks. I let out a tear, I was so happy XD

[@NaturalMe4C]

Takun Yamaguchi Nice!! :D

[@iKindle3]

You're so bubbly and funny! I love it, great videos and personality!! 😊😊😀

[@NaturalMe4C]

Kisuyki Thank you!!!

[@ellapresley2917]

I think you can get Giovanni at Sprouts, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

I am just so heavy handed with pouring my shampoo so I went through my Giovanni so fast, but I do want to try this. It sold me when you read on the bottle for damaged hair...lol. That's me :). Helpful video as always. Have a blessed week! Nikki

[@NaturalMe4C]

LOL! Enjoy your week too! :D

[@MilesSherry]

Giovanni's Leave-In is by far my favorite leave-in conditioner. The ingredients are stellar and the way my hair feels can't be compared.

[@NaturalMe4C]

I'm glad your hair like this too!

[@latashawalton7739]

I just love your cost efficient ideas........the target deep condition cap in a previous video......... and your product reviews.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Aww thanks Latasha! :D

[@ovit54]

This is my go-to leave in conditionner. I only use a dime size amount all over my head since it distributes very well. Usually my hair is in big chunky twists when I apply it. I MUST seal with some oil after applying that product (like 15 minutes after) otherwise, why hair becomes "sticky" dry the next day. My routine would be: 1. Apply it directly out of the shower (tiny amount) 2. 30 minutes later I would re-mist my hair (water+glycerin) 3. Seal

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome tips! :D

[@sarahfoster391]

Love your personality and silliness!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Sarah Foster Thank you!!!

[@BeautiFroHair]

I started off with the Giovanni products when I went natural. After they changed the formula, I stopped using it. Now I'm all over the place cause I have the product junkie syndrome. Great review!

[@NaturalMe4C]

LOL!!! Thanks!

[@broyale7]

This is a great video. That was my staple leave-in conditioner in the beginning until I got wooed away by other products. Well, two weeks ago, I picked up one at my local Fairway and realized that I was missing out on one of the best leave-in conditioners I have ever tried. Big ++ is that there is no glycerin so I can use it anytime of year. Did I mention that it works great? ;-))

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thank you!! :D

[@skam2081]

Your hair is stunning! I love the style

[@NaturalMe4C]

thank you soo much!! :D

[@wonderwomanAT14]

your hair is so pretty and versatile I love your different styles

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thank you very much!! :D

[@poditrace]

The Giovanni is my favorite leave in but it took me about a bottle and a half before I figured out how to best use it. It keeps my hair from feeling dry as long as I apply it as soon as I finish washing it. If I don't use it my hair is a horrible mess! Glad you like it!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks! :D

[@norabrooks4197]

I know u LCO and your extremely low porosity like me, so how do you get your cuticle to open to receive this as the Liquid in LCO? My C is Qhemet Alma and Olive heavy cream, and my O is castor,olive blend. How do you get your cuticle to open?

[@chasingshores]

You can try heating your leave in conditioner/liquid as heat opens up the cuticle for low porosity

[@Bklyngotham]

Great video, your makeup is beautiful love your wash n go with the red bow. Now you have me looking into yet another product lol :-o have a great week Sis.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Aww thanks Tanya! :D

[@shawtyizanadult]

Your video actually made me purchase this and the shampoo. I got my set on Puritain's Pride's website. 5.49 each bottle, shipping was free. Used it and really enjoyed it because I thought I lost my curl pattern but the leave in brought it out. My hair isn't as moisturized as it could be but de- tangling with a comb was very easy and I enjoyed the scent that came with both. Great video. I've been using the Monoi line almost two years with good results but this is a nice change.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Julia D Awesome!! :D

[@voikvoiranxx]

Your hair looks so healthy :)! I'm currently transitioning, my natural hair is 4c as well, but is very though and tangles a lot, do you think that the shea moisture conditioner and giovanni's would still work on my hair? I always though that they worked better on looser hair textures, I don't know if it would just be a waste of money

[@NaturalMe4C]

I use both brands and my hair does well with them. :) Knots and tangles are a part of my family up in this fro lol.

[@voikvoiranxx]

NaturalMe4C I see thanks! But do you remove every tangle and knot that you find? I normally wear my hair in protective styles, so when styled there can't be knots and stuff, that's why I'm asking :/ Is there any product that could help?

[@bylyn9846]

I mix Giovanni regular deep conditioner 25% with 25% Eco gel,50% long aid gel, and just a little oil as a curl custard for my wash and goes. This conditioner mix is very moisturizing without the crunch and achieve 7 day hair. I love the product as well.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Nice combo! :)

[@discoveringhealthandfinanc8328]

Hi what is long aid gel?? Thanks!

[@bylyn9846]

It is a natural gel activator like Eco styler but its moisturizing because of the glycerin and Aloe Vera gel. I use it just because its adds a lot of moisture. It has a green label sold in Walmart and Walgreens. Google it and there are reviews on u tube. It takes away the crunch from the eco styler when mixed together.

[@discoveringhealthandfinanc8328]

Ok great! Thanks :)

[@Uwagwej]

Your wash and go is getting longer ! You go girl !

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks!!! :D

[@WEG918]

Giovanni's Direct Leave In Weightless Moisture Conditioner is the only conditioner that I use. I purchase from Massage Warehouse you can get the liter size for ($13.26) and it comes in a pump.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome!

[@pmonpl]

I love Giovanni leave in, thanks for reminding me to stock up.Have you ever tried As I am leave in conditioner? if so how did you like it?

[@NaturalMe4C]

I haven't tried it out yet :D But when I do I'll be sure to review it

[@MsLadyAllure]

I loved the old formula...my hair hates the new mix but Im glad your hair loves it.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Yeah... If I come across the other formula I may try it out. I think the oils are higher up on the list :D

[@Cassyp4cLife]

I heard a lot of naturals give good reviews on Giovanni. I haven't tried it as of yet. Thanks for your review. Awesome hair too!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks!! :D

[@nakeamorris25]

I like giovanni too! I also which it came in a bigger bottle. I also fell in love with their new deep moisture deep conditioner mask with avocado and olive oil. I was like wow after using it.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Nice! I've seen that line one online :D

[@epiphani25]

The Direct Leave In doesn't do as well for me as I would like. I use the Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner as my leave in

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome at least the SAS works for you :D

[@tiawilliams20]

I like this leave it too. Your makeup is pretty!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thank you!!

[@petitereina]

I didn't knot if anyone else left this info for you but you can get the 33.5 oz bottles at tjmaxx go around $13.00

[@renitapayno]

I saw his products but I felt they were a little expensive for my budget. But since you speak so highly, I might go give it a try.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Girl stay within your budget lol!! There are other things that are cheaper that give nice results too :D I have a list on my blog that name the things I have in my stash that have worked for me throughout my journey :) www.naturalme4c.com/regimenproducts.html

[@Miss_NatashaO]

Love this conditioner on my locs, as well as this video! I can't find it anywhere but Ulta and the health food stores in the Chicagoland area. But when I couldn't find this conditioner, I got the spray on version of it, called Vitapro Fusion Protective Moisture, and it works well, but I've got to get back to the leave-in conditioner cream!

[@NaturalMe4C]

I didn't know where was a spray version lol awesome! :)

[@827honey1]

Glad it worked for you. I have been trying to find the 50/50 one to test out.

[@NaturalMe4C]

That one gets a lot of great reviews too!

[@Journeytaker101]

I love this conditioner! I use it all the time. I order mine on Amazon using the subscribe and save. I too like that smooth as silk deep conditioner as well!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome!

[@debjb5038]

That's a really great conditioner, I use it on my daughters' hair. I usually purchase mine from vitacost. Sometimes you can find it at Marshalls Great review Kriss!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks! :D

[@nataliesanders8817]

Google this product because you can find it cheaper. I usually buy it from Vitamin World or Puritan Pride. I have been using the leave in as well as the Smooth as Silk Deeper Conditioner (for cowashing) and I love them both.....

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks!

[@mickeyd358]

I've been natural for over a year now, & I still do not have a regime. I know w/ one my hair health & growth would be much improved, but living in a dorm on a college student budget prevents the use of certain products & hopping in & out of the shower is highly inconvenient. If anyone has suggestions please comment back! My texture is 4b/4c, falling right below my ears. Thanks!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Here is my current regimen :) www.naturalme4c.com/regimenproducts.html

[@ilyhubria1]

Love this conditioner, after I purchased it a couple of times from my local Target I went and ordered it by the liter online! :)

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome! :D

[@babygirl2cute12]

Got mine today at Whole Foods! Also there was a coupon on the front for $2 off. So it ended up being $3.99. I cannot wait to try it!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Kai Loki Awesome!

[@user-zg1xq9nm9z]

That's such a good price! Over here in australia that stuff costs around $20/bottle..and you can only find in health food stores..it sucks haha

[@MzRawndi]

I must try this conditioner, I been wanting to try it for over a year! My target only has the tea tree line and there has been only one of the shampoo and one of the conditioner on the shelf every time I go there lol. I guess they dont like to put all out at once lol.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Right! My target is the same way smh

[@tajuana2841]

Love this stuff. I also use the deeper mositure as a leave in I feel it works better on my wash and gos

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome! They're both great :D

[@nataliesanders8817]

Latifatumi....you are awesome. Thanks for posting the information about the massagewarehouse.com, I thought my deals were good but this website beats the price and size of what I have been paying. Thank you NaturalMe4C for the review which sparked the dialogue. Great review and your hair looks wonderful.......

[@Ms19741979]

Love the singing at the end!

[@NaturalMe4C]

LOL!!! :)

[@chefSqueez]

Great video! I love this product as well. I just purchased two from massage warehouse and got it today. That was pretty fast because I just placed my order yesterday. I compared the ingredients and so far so good. New subie!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Nice!!! Thanks for your support!! :D

[@kimberry2010]

Purchased a small bottle and Whole Food last month and I LOVE it!! A little does go a long way :)

[@NaturalMe4C]

I'm glad this works well for you! :D

[@charlinenkoma4640]

waaaooohhh what a great review darling!!!thank you for sharing.xoxo

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks!! :)

[@mylightshinesbright8665]

love you and your spirit!....god bless and thank you for always being true to yourself!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thank you soo much Markiva! :D

[@Nova0970]

Does the leave-in conditioner continue protein?

[@Damali5610]

I'm all late...lol ...I can usually count on The Vitamin Shoppe to have this

[@bandanaknickerbocker]

I bought this not to long along nd u rite it silk leave in but I and scared to put it on my transitioning hair cos I have only seen good reviews on natural women using it but not transitioning women. What do u think I should do? Should I try it now or should I went till I Big Chop? At da moment I am using Cantu Shea Butter leave in nd it work amazing for my hair. Xoxo

[@NaturalMe4C]

Since it's just a leave in conditioner it shouldn't harm anything. But if you have a leave in that works well use that :D

[@monicacooper4606]

Giovanni work for me! Sing it Kriss! lol! Great video.

[@NaturalMe4C]

LOL!! Thanks!

[@Favoredbyhim365]

I love giovanni, it does wonders for my 4c hair

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome! :D

[@alouis0317]

Are you still using this? I just started using it in my regimen (after hunting around like you did lol) and I've been really enjoying it! Works best after letting my hair dry a bit on wash day then adding the leave-in and sealing with oil. Also use it to refresh my hair during the week misting with water before adding the leave-in and oil and I get amazing results! Thanks for the reviews!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Yup I still have it. For me, it now works best pretty much alone with an oil at the moment. I'm still working on day 2 hair lol

[@alouis0317]

LOL! You'll get it girl don't worry :-) Also would love to do wash and go's like you do but I just don't have the courage yet. SIGH!

[@verneisha2003]

I didn't like the fact that is was in a small bottle and I found it at a body supply store for about 6.99 and bought it for my mother since she has the strong 4c coils and trying to start her in the right direction with her natural coils. I need to check and ask her how hair feels since I bought it after christmas. LOL I look forward to trying this out when I get around to getting it. Slowly becoming a product junkie. LOL

[@NaturalMe4C]

LOL!

[@MzChocol8star]

I have been orotective styling (lazy ) for so long I forgot about this leave in I use it in my homemade refreshers too ( water, leave in, oil)

[@NaturalMe4C]

Nice! :D

[@katsky568]

Hey I need some serious help. I have 4 type hair and lately my hair has not been coming out as defined as I would like. It's been frizzy and dry. Is there any products you would recommend for a mosturized defined twist out?

[@TheSupasweet]

I'm not Kriss but try a mixture of castor oil and glycerine (half and half). Yes, your hair will be sticky but it will be soft and defined. Just don't let anybody touch it. :)

[@NaturalMe4C]

Sometimes twisting your hair on dry hair instead of wet keeps it feeling softer even if a little gel is added. But the definition of wet twistouts last a lot longer for me with and with out gel. Recently I find that the oyin hand made products have been working great for my wet and dry twistouts. On my facebook page I post lots of results and list the products used in case you ever wanna try the different combos. :) Wet twistout done with oyin (there are others on FB) facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=479805535473977&set=pb.432946690159862.-2207520000.1389708390.&type=3&theater Dry twistout done with oyin (there are others on FB) facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=484836654970865&set=a.432970943490770.1073741828.432946690159862&type=3&theater

[@tanecia8612]

How often do you wash your hair?

[@roxannelittle]

I love your hair! What did you do?

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thanks! This was a wash and go. I have a lot of tutorial on this channel showing how I do them ☺

[@BklynBabe]

A bunch of us have been going crazy over the Anthony Dickey (Hair Rules) method for wash n go's. Would you consider researching it and trying it out one day? You can use your own products too.

[@NaturalMe4C]

I haven't heard of it but I'll check it out :D

[@Ladydanielle10]

i love Giovanni nothing and i mean nothing makes my hair as soft and fluffy as this product i love soft and fluffy hair and this gives it to me. I do seal this product with un petroleum multi-purpose jelly by alba

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome! I'm glad it works for you too! :D

[@latifatumi]

Check out massagewarehouse.com they have 1 liter size for about 13 dollars. I hv bn using that same bottle forever lol. So much more cost efficient.

[@NaturalMe4C]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@delasessi]

[@Shon9tilR]

Do you use it everyday?

[@mizzpeach01]

Check Marshall too. I got an industrial size for 12.99

[@NaturalMe4C]

thanks!! :)

[@laurasmith2157]

You're very beautiful! Thank you for this informative review

[@corinne_444]

Love your hair!!!

[@NaturalMe4C]

Thank you! :D

[@chriissyee]

You prefer Giovanii Direct Leave in or Giovanni Smooth as Silk ? Also which one keeps your hair longer in smoothness :)

[@NaturalMe4C]

chriissyee The old smooth as silk worked better for me but I can no longer find the formula that I once reviewed on the channel a long time ago.

[@ClaudineJDN]

8,99$ in 🇨🇦

[@teresaseals4228]

I love that conditioner! It's my hg!

[@NaturalMe4C]

I'm glad it works for you!

[@teresaseals4228]

I am too. My hair is 3a-b. I'm African American. My hair is easily weighed down. I'm careful of what products I use. It's easy to detangle bc it's already been detangled twice, when I do a prepoo w coconut oil and again when I clean my scalp. Even tho we r diff types, I love ur videos! Thx for replying! :)

[@NaturalMe4C]

That's awesome! I really appreciate your support and I'm glad you enjoy this channel! :D Thanks!

[@bigliltyni603]

where did you get your head band

[@NaturalMe4C]

I found it at dollar general :)

[@bigliltyni603]

ok thanks!

[@NaturalMe4C]

no problem! :)

[@davinna2005]

You seem to be getting more flexible with your budget compared to when you just started lol Nice

[@NaturalMe4C]

lol I mentioned in another video that I'm in an experimental phase in my journey since I know know what my hair feels like when it's "cool" and I also have become more aware of ingredients. Unfortunately healthier doesn't always equal cheaper :/ I wish it did though! lol I still have my limits though! :D On the bright side since I have fine hair my products tend to last me months and months in rotation lol.

[@allexbaby17]

Do people tell you you look like Beyoncé?

[@NaturalMe4C]

lol people have said that a lot on the channel lately

[@thequeenofhearts4227]
