TALIAH WAAJID GREEN APPLE & ALOE HOLD ME DOWN! GELLE - Side by Side | Demo & Review | NaturalRaeRae

What's Up Sun Raes! In this video, I am not only revisiting the original ‪@taliahwaajid‬ Green Apple & Aloe Hold Me Down! Gelle, but I am also trying out the clear version that was once out. I am comparing the two, side by side, on my hair to see if I can tell a difference. If you've tried this clear gel, let me know your thoughts in the comments. I hope you enjoy the video!
Thanks for watching!

[@pharabrown3614]

I think I prefer the side with the original, opaque gel. For me, I like my wash n’ go to have definition and more hold! Thank you for doing this video!! Love your channel 🥰

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I totally agree! Thanks for watching.

[@SheReaDelSol]

Alright, was this before or after the cut because I am seeing length

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Before

[@SheReaDelSol]

Gotcha! I definitely preferred the results of the older formula

[@anthonymarshall2012]

Chile every time I use it (the clear one) it does this weird curdling on my hair I stopped using. I wish I got the cream formula cause I was so dissatisfied.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Really? I didn't get any curdling. Did you clarify your hair first, maybe you had some build up on your hair. Just a thought. I did only use it with its sister leave-in, though.

[@nataliecousins2179]

☀️☀️☀️ The apple and aloe line was a holy grail for me when I first went natural!

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I really like the Apple & Aloe line. I haven't tried much of the other lines.

[@ShirleyAnn]

I am going to add this gel to my wishlist because I am on a no buy right now

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I'm on a no buy, too, so I understand. There are so many products I want to buy, but I'm holding off.

[@kearstenw3855]

So glad you're doing a review on this because I've been wanting to try it 👍

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I would suggest the original formula if you want longevity. Let me know if you try it.

[@kearstenw3855]

@@NaturalRaeRae I sure will

[@Love_Lai_xo]

I had no idea they made a clear gel to this line.. I like how your hair looks on the original gelle side, very defined. I have the entire line in my stash.. Looks like it's time to crack them open! Thanks for sharing! 😉

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I didn't know either. I think that is why it didn't do so well and they discontinued it; it didn't get enough traction. Anywho, I prefer the original gelle so I'm good. Thanks for tuning in.

[@andreamitchell3199]

I'm so glad someone is doing this side by side. Thank you, Girl. At my local beauty supply store, all they have is a clear gel. But I'm looking for the white gel.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I thought Taliah Waajid said she was going back to the white one. Not sure why people are only finding the clear; however, they are very similar. Thanks for tuning in.

[@Erika-lv6lh]

Thanks for the side by side. I prefer the original side because the definition is better and it seems longer lasting

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I totally agree!

[@animalluver3700]

I love this gel but I didn’t know about the clear version

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Yeah, not too many people knew about the clear version.

[@Truthtella24]

I wish she hadn't changed it to the clear one.. It doesn't work with xtreme wetline which is why I had purchased it from the first start.. Hate when they change formula 🥴🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[@NaturalRaeRae]

She still has the original version, so if you liked that one, it is still available.

[@Truthtella24]

@@NaturalRaeRae unfortunately not where I live.. In Europe when you order you get the new version. Sucks

[@NaturalRaeRae]

@@Truthtella24 😲 I would email to see if you can get the original version, especially if you really liked the original. You should share with her your thoughts. Sorry about that.

[@Truthtella24]

@@NaturalRaeRae thanks, will do🤗

[@Sloppyjoey1]

IM LATE TO THE PARTY.. I just got mine in the mail and I was heated that it changed. I ran like a Karen to HR to snitch online and I'm glad you did a review. I'm especially mad because it's hard to find non-crunchy gels that still give good definition. I'll see how it goes tomorrow but it's looking like I'm going to have to be heavy handed.. 🥺

[@NaturalRaeRae]

LOL... you are too funny. I understand about not liking formulas to change when they are already good. If it broke, don't fix it is my motto. Hopefully you will like the new one just as much. Let me know how it goes.

[@braelynnblue]

New subbie. I did my third big chop last year (been natural since 2011) and have been a wash n go girl eversince. Now I'm a gel junkie and have to get this gel, I'm a PJ coming out of reform lol...great video!

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Welcome to the family. I appreciate you subscribing. I am a recovering PJ, as well, and that is why I am on a no buy this year. So far so good. If you get the gel, make sure you let me know how it works for you.

[@antoinettefreeman3951]

I like the left side because that side is more curly and defined.

[@camilleslack1902]

Thank you for this review. Enjoy your content. I love the original Hold Me Down Gelle but I have a hard time finding it where I live. Have not seen the new gel. Did a wash n go using the Curl Definer and it only lasted one day - added Wetline and it flaked.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Thank you! You may have to order the original if it's not in stores near you. The clear gel is discontinued so you probably won't see it anywhere. I've heard the Wetline and the Curly Curl Cream works really good together; maybe try that for a wash and go and see how it works for you.

[@thelisaaubrey4164]

The formula change has true broken my heart. It’s not the same anymore 😢 the CEO said they’re not going back to the old formula anytime soon

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I just heard back from them and they told me the same thing. 😢

[@thelisaaubrey4164]

@@NaturalRaeRae I just don’t understand why they would do that it makes no sense

[@ayanadixon4763]

What is your general opinion on cream gels? I haven't tried one yet, but I want to and I'm not sure where to start.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Not all cream gels are created equal. I would say just get one and see if you like it. The one in this video is good because it gives definition and hold, but it is not crunchy. If you like it, then you can branch out to other ones. Good luck!

[@shantehale3188]

🌞 I like both sides but the hold me down side looks best to me 😘

[@kearstenw3855]

Wow they look different but the ingredients are the same! Interesting

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Yep, very interesting.

[@nancystanford427]

So glad you made these videos. TFS!

[@NaturalRaeRae]

You are so welcome!

[@twingemz984]

Never tried this gel, but I like the leave in conditioner.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I like the gelle. It defines and it doesn't flake; two pros for me.

[@coilyloxs9696]

I went to see which one I had I got the defining cream. I’ve heard great reviews about it as well.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Yes, some people really love the defining cream. I have a video on my channel using it and the elixir, side by side. If you want to hear my thoughts on those, click here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHvUhpadbtdrm6M

Great vid!

Thanks, Chrissy!

[@taraialexander4109]

I had stocked up on the creamy version because I was staying out of the streets due to COVID. It plus Jane Carter Curls to Go leave-in were my wash and go Holy Grail. I snatched two jars not knowing the formula changed to the clear one. My hair literally had SUDS in it from this Gelle even after I washed it again and only used the Gelle. Needless to say, I'm furious. Now it's back to the drawing board unless she's gone back to the old version.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I believe she has gone back to the old version. Sorry about the clear one not working for you. I need to try the Jane Carter Leave In with the creamy version and see how I like it. Thanks for sharing that.

[@taraialexander4109]

@@NaturalRaeRae my pleasure. The Jane Carter Curls to Go will define your curls and the creamy version of the Gelle will hold them for at least five days before you need any type of refresh. I can often go six days.

[@water7apple]

I like the side with the old formulation as it seems more defined, has more shine and hold, and it elongates. Too bad they discontinue the product.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

They didn't discontinue the original formula. They discontinued the clear one, so if you want to try the gelle, the old formula is still available. Thanks for watching.

[@water7apple]

@@NaturalRaeRae Thank you for the clarification!
