Texture ID Styling Creme Washngo

[@jowright7448]

I so love listening to your voice. Its calm, and you're such a great instructor. I'm glad you're here. Please don't leave. You were my saving grace for help with my low porosity hair. God bless you abundantly.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you love. I am grateful for every gift the Lord has blessed me with, that I may a blessing to others. As the Lord leads, I shall follow. I appreciate you. May the good Lord bless you mightily!

I used to use texture id a few years back and watching this video makes me want to go back to it because it does work good as a stand alone product and that’s what I loved about it. Your hair looks so good as always and I’m counting down til my hair is this length. Great wash and go as usual! Love ❤️

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Hey lovely, Yep that one product for styling was definitely a draw! As for the length, I encourage you to enjoy your hair at every length and when it gets to and surpasses where I am, may enjoy that as well. 😘 💕💕💕

[@rmsnyman]

Thank you for being back Abena!!Miss your videos sooo much because your detailed info is priceless!!Love your content...your hair has grown meters!

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you love 💕💕💕

It's good to have you back Abena!

Your hair reminds me of those women in the Egyptian ancient paintings. Long beaded afro hair.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Lol 😂...love this! Long beaded Afro hair from ancient Egyptian painting 💕💕💕

Just purchased this and used it for the first time yesterday. I was surprised how well it curled my hair alone. Glad to see you making more videos!!!

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you darling, I’m happy to be back. So good to hear about your experience with this product. It’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised with the outcome 😘

[@cookiedoughmonstertravels4469]

Welcome back! Great video. I actually just bought this product last week at sally’s it was on sale and present! That never happens. I got the last one. I also got my ride or die As I Am products. Im scarred to try it. My hair usually only wants coconut oil as wash-out rather than leave-in ingredient. Ill try it in a few weeks when my sensitive scalp (which has been having an eczema episode this winter) calms down.

[@d.deegodjones]

This is one of my favorite underdog products. I like that it dried quickly for days I need to literally wash and go

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Oh that’s so cool. I enjoyed the product and happy to see others enjoy it as well. 😃

[@Gilbert3136]

Sooooo glad you are back!!!!

I really need to try your method. I usually just take a glob of product and rake it through 😑 Your hair is really beautiful. Welcome back!

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you lovely 💕💕💕 Lol 😂 yes think of it as how clumped you want your curls. Good distribution will yield better definition and last longer.

[@lealeaj1096]

Another great and through review as always! I picked up that product, way back when, and still haven't tried it yet! On a side note, I noticed the Devacurl products, on the shelf behind you ( turned backwards), curious as to whether or not you still use them periodically, on yourself or any of your clients? Have a great day!🥰

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Oh Lealea j you are sooooo observant! They are turned backwards because I’m not trying to advertise, lol 😂 I carry Devacurl products because I am listed on their website as a Deva Advanced Stylist and if people come to me from their website they may expect and desire Devacurl products for styling. I like to be prepared in the event of such requests.

[@lealeaj1096]

@@EmbraceNaturalBeauty Gotcha!😌 Thanks for responding !

[@judis9184]

It’s so refreshing to see a tutorial by you. Thank you! I’ve never tried Texture Id. I will have to give it a try when I get my stash down a little further. Have you ever tried Kinky Tresses? I’ve been loving the leave in and curl definer. The leave in really defines my curls and I get days of moisture. I’d be curious to get your thoughts. Good to have you back here on KZbin! Looking forward to seeing your next video. 😊👍🏽

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you Judi! It is a pleasure to be back. I appreciate the warm welcome. I have never heard of Kinky Tresses. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will take a look at the products to see if they fall in line with want I am looking for at this time. Blessings!

[@curlswithlovenj]

always loved your hair :)

[@shelly11134]

Great informative video. I tried Texture ID last year and didn't really care for it. So back to Sally's it went for a refund. I'm glad you got such lovely results. 🌀🌀💕

Can you do an updated trim on straight hair since your hair has gotten longer

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

I plan to trim in November...so if I’m able to capture on video I am happy to share the experience 😉

[@rmsnyman]

Interesting to see how you apply styling cream, put it away for a time and then go back to defining the curls..is that a typical good tip for low porosity hair?I want to try your way and see if I'll get better product penetration because it's given time to penetrate rather than forced to do so!

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Yes, low porosity takes longer for moisture to penetrate. Allowing the product to sit on the hair for a period of time gives it time to penetrate. It cannot be forced, it's the reason many people experience flaking, product residue and hair that is not well defined. Also notice that putting the hair in twists as opposed to just letting it hang loose will lead to better penetration of the product. When you do this method, pay attention to the base of the twists (the roots). If it's a large base and it's frizzy, dividing the section into smaller twists can lead to less frizz, a smoother base and better curl definition!

[@RCamon1]

Welcome back! Your hair has flourished. Maybe, in between projects you can do a collage of your hair growth journey ☺️. Question, being a junkie I have a plethora of products in rotation- when you mentioned you had the product for sometime and were still trying to perfect the style. Do you think our products perform the same after expiration opened or un-opened?

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you darling 💕💕💕 A collage sounds like a great idea 💡🤔 Products are tested by the manufacturer to sustain stable consistency and performance for a certain amount of time. After the expiration has passed the level of stability is no longer guaranteed. The shelf-life begins after the product is opened so it should remain stable for the amount of time indicated on the label which for texture ID is 12 months after the products opened. The product I mentioned at the beginning of the video that I had been using for four wash and gos was purchased in September 2020 and is nowhere near the expiration date. 😀

[@RCamon1]

@@EmbraceNaturalBeauty Okay, thank you for responding. I misunderstood what you said in the video..your explanation helps me to now get rid of an abundance of products 🤦‍♀️ and I can't wait to see a collage cause your hair looks like it has quadrupled in length☺️.I look forward to more of your educational videos.

[@kendrac8885]

My hair is always so frizzy right out of the shower does this mean that the shampoo and conditioner I’m using is no good, or should I just accept that my hair is frizzy and move past it?

[@AmberSumerall]

How did you get all your curls defined? Most natural hair have a bit frizz in the roots. Do you have a texturizer?

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Hey darling, I’m 💯 percent natural. NO TEXTURIZER. My hair is the same from root to tip. With the exception of my special areas that don’t like to behave, lol 😂 many of us with natural hair have some frizzy parts in the front hairline and some in the crown. But overall, naturals do not necessarily have frizzy roots when we take the time to work the styling products through on freshly washed and conditioned hair. Try following my methods and see if you get better definition in your roots 😘

[@lizzieclay6774]

Hey Abena, Is it okay to use different products each time you do your wash day? I've asked this question and no one seems to answer. I haven't asked you so hopefully you will respond. Thanks for sharing.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Lizzie, the more important question to ponder is the purpose for changing those products. Each product you use serves a specific purpose. If you find the desire or need to change them every single time you wash your hair, then they may not be using the right products in the first place.

[@lizzieclay6774]

@@EmbraceNaturalBeauty I think I just do it because I have so many. Many of them work fine, but I have experienced a stand still with hair growth and I don't know why. My hair is healthy though. I appreciate you responding. I just wonder why my curly hair won't hang past my shoulders when my staighten hair is 2 to 3 inches above my bra.

[@alyssajohnson504]

Welcome back! I have the whole line and I'm stilltryimg to figure out if it is moisturizing enough for me.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

I have not considered the entire line since I already have staple products for cleansing and conditioning. Sometimes there is one product in an entire line that does what you need it to do. For me it was the styling creme for my washngo. 😘 Now, what makes you question the level of moisture you’re getting when using the products?

[@alyssajohnson504]

Embrace Natural Beauty wow thank you so much for responding! 😍I think the reason that I question the moisture is because of the texture of the product and how my hair feels 3 days after I apply it.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Alyssa Johnson It sounds like you are fine with it the first two days before the product begins to wear off. And if you were not as heavy with it as I was, I can see you feeling more of your own texture sooner than when I did. I really got a feel for my own texture in my low porosity section where moisture does not penetrate as easily. But I don't recall noticing it for at least 5 days. So, It could be a combination of factors. Such as not getting enough moisture penetration during the cleansing and conditioning step prior to applying the styler.

[@alyssajohnson504]

@@EmbraceNaturalBeauty thank you so much for replying. I will definitely take you're advice to heart. I was so excited that you replied I told my mom.

I am curious to know in your opinion, what the difference is between my hair and what you consider 4c hair? Many people with different curl patterns refer to this category. It covers such a wide range of individuals who identify themselves with this description.

Thank you 💕💕💕

[@TP-ld7hv]

Beautiful but it did nothing for my hair. I tried it a few times and it was a no go for me. Gel works better on my hair.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Sorry to hear that. I used to always use a gel to define my curls. But it has been fun achieving curl definition with other types of stylers like this one or a mousse.

I don't like this product. You did really well applying it because it turned out great on your hair💜
