This was a battle between AS I AM and MIELLE ORGANICS - my first time trying out Mielle Organics and.... WOAH!!! Have you ever tried this product? Did you like it? Comment below!

[@decortapeone9669]

I just went natural and I tried a few products but Mielle won me over. I got more curls and shine

[@iateyursandwiches]

Mielle custurd works well for definition and moisture but has like no hold! At least for tighter textures.

[@iAmShenaG]

Hey Lovely, you have more shrinkage on the Mielle side of your hair because the curl definition was more intense. The As I Am side appeared not as defined and was a tad bit frizzy. Thanks for sharing your review and demo of both products. 🙌

[@irischambliss7533]

That Miele curling custard gives bomb definition!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

It really doesssss!!! I actually love it so much!

[@YonkelCPrints]

Not surprised with Mielle. They work really hard with their formulars. It does look more juicy on that side.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I'm so late to the party! LOL... I had no idea, I'm going to be trying more of their products for sure!

[@brittanyking358]

I could cry. After 4 years I’ve finally found someone with the same hair texture as me😭😭😭

[@karincogeresq]

Yes!

[@chocolafied]

I got a lot of compliments on the Mielle Pomegranate-Honey scent, so I started freshening my curls with it

[@Momnsyd]

I picked up a trial size packet of the Mielle custard and I loved it! I got super definition, shine, and just the right amount of hold-them coils popped instantly. The scent is lite and fruity-not overpowering! The only problem I ran into was I did have some build up once it dries but I think it’s because of the leave-in I used-shea moisture, was to heavy and didn’t mesh well together. Other than that, I loved it-the best custard I’ve tried and I’ll definitely use this again along with the leave-in! Love it on my fine strands!!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

It is so excellent! And yes, I agree, it doesn't mesh well with some products, so be selective :-)

[@marixx_1011]

Can I put in a leave in conditioner before using it ?

[@wannabe41]

I really like your comparison videos! I like the Mielle side best, love the definition!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks so much Katherine, I'm realising how popular they really are! Thanks for the feedback! :D

[@flowforever9084]

I saw a lady with defined natural tight hair curls. I ask what she used and she said Mielle. It's a must try for me especially after watching your video. Thank you. Your demonstration was perfect. 🥰

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

You're welcome and you're right, it works SO well!

[@melissascarlato9452]

Love the comparison video!! Awesome to see the differences like that and so well explained!! Thanks!!

[@KayAmoah]

Mary you look so good girl love the lip combo! I think I prefer the Mielle side but both sides looked nice, great comparison! 💛💛

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks so much love! I agree with you 😊 and yes, Fenty Beauty Undefeated and Violet Fury are my favourite lip combo right now 😁

[@alib180]

The Mielle side looks bombbb! 😍🔥🔥

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I know!!! 😍 It actually rocked my world!

[@sprenderful]

I just picked up the mielle jelly. I’ve used as i am in the past but for some reason my hair wasn’t as defined so hopefully I get more definition without the excessive crunch with gel. Thanks for the info 😊

[@wandawiltz2601]

I love your accent! I liked the Mielle side better. It was shiny and had more definition! The As I Am side was nice too, but not as pretty as the other. Thanks for sharing.

[@blackdove1299]

I used as I am double butter cream and the curling jelly yesterday, it was gives me good results. I do have mielle organics at home but only the pomegranate leave in and twisting soufflé. I do love it but haven’t used this for ages. NOW I NEED THE CUSTARD this week! I trust you since you brought Camille Rose into my life!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Ill be leaving some links below the video to the products used :)

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I've left the links in the description below the video - happy shopping!

[@blackdove1299]

Just used the curling custard and it is bomb! So glad you recommended!

[@shashuwells500]

When you coil with one hand it’s in your curl direction. The other goes against the curl direction.

[@shanettwaite7046]

I'm in Jamaica. I've been in search of a custard that doesn't flake. I discovered the Mielle custard about two months ago and I'm in love. Just the best. My coils POP and last a whole week and my hair just feels soo moisturized.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I'm glad you love it too - did you buy it from a beauty supply there? Which one? (Just for future reference when I visit 😊)

[@shanettwaite7046]

@@Life.Love.Locs. I bought it from Nicole's beauty and barber supplies in Kingston. Yessss hun, you should definitely visit!! I am here if u need an adventure buddy 🙂

[@marvesamclaurin81]

Mary great video..The Mielle side curls were pooping. Both side look really good. Me personally I would take the curl definition any day over shrinkage. Love the lip color your makeup is always on point.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

So.... does that mean that Mielle won in your book? The lip colours are Fenty Beauty Violet Fury and Undefeated. :D

[@marvesamclaurin81]

Yes the Mielle won all the way. Your curls were more defined and juice, and as that side gets older the curls will still hold. I have similar hair texture as you and when I use products that give me bomb curls and more shrinkage my style last longer.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Totally agree Marvesa, thanks for sharing!

[@siobhanstott7777]

Thank you. Just bought the Miele custard. I used to use Cantu, but a bit oily. It’s great to hear an English accent, as we know what’s available here. Also, my hair is similar to yours. Xx

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

So glad I could help! 🇬🇧 😅

[@alicablack3675]

You just talked me into getting MIELLE. Loved the video.✌🏾❤️

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

You're welcome!

[@fredelinealcide8364]

I did use the as I am product and it turned out pretty well. I love the curling jelly, but I haven't tried the other product.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback! It's always good to know how hair products work with different people. :)

[@kamannin28]

I love love love the Mielle side! and will be purchasing this product as soon as it goes on sale at Sally's beauty supplies. 😁

😂😂🤣🤣😂 the mielle reaction is so funny

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Glad you enjoyed! 🤣

[@mrsbrendanay]

sis!!! how did you achieve that beautiful hair color !!😍🙌🏾❤️

[@marvinehand4500]

More definition less shrinkage

[@TheJmommyandus]

Looks beautiful. But Meille curls pop more. Love the lipstick 💄

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Definitely and thank you!

[@veronikamoreira7037]

How long does your hair take to dry? do you ever use a diffuser if you need it to dry quickly?

[@deborahkirk5871]

I like the Mielle side better, the curls are more defined.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback! 🙂

[@natural7644]

Turned out Beautiful ❤️

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Really did, thanks so much!

[@missmemssme]

I definitely notice a difference with my curls if I coil in the opposite direction of how it naturally grows.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Ok cool good to know that it's not just me! I've been wondering if it makes a difference in results for my comparisons... But I think no. Sometimes one side is more defined, sometimes the other. Just a thought! Thank you 💜

[@equisita8097]

Mielle surely won, but I will say, I’m a 3c and I would’ve used more product than you did on the as I am side. I think if you had been more heavy handed with as I am you would’ve gotten mire definition. Either way, you look 👍 great

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

It's possible you're right but the consistency and slip of the product was more apparent by how it felt than how it looked on camera- there definitely was a good amount on my hair, even though you couldn't see it that abundantly. Thanks for the feedback!

[@erieri866]

The mielle side has better definition😍

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@shondale71]

I love both sides ❤️💯

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

They both did a great job :)

[@FortunadaHope]

New subscriber love your hair I see we can be texture twins! Did you air dry your hair or blow dry your hair? 😘✨

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Air dry 🙂

[@danahudson2484]

Overall nice results!😄

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Yay! I'm glad that you like them. 😁

[@aerialtucker2959]

Yes mielle has IMMEDIATE contact definition

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@karenjeremiah4551]

Mielle side looks more shiny and moistures. I prefer it betta!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@fancyhankss]

Mielle is for the better one for you. It looks richer on you then As I am.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback!

Yessssss!

MIELLE!!!!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for commenting!

[@ysl4life383]

Is the jelly like gel or similar to eco styling gel

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

It's a bit like gel but the consistency has a little more hold I'd say

[@jazdramafree]

Thanks for posting! You and I seem to have the same texture. The ends are curly, my roots always become afro-esque I would say that I have 4c in the middle and a mix of 4a/4b everywhere except the left front it is 3 something 😕. Thanks for showing me what my wash n go could be. 😁. Both sides look great by the way.

[@MultiManman5]

Loooooooooove❤❤the Mielle side❤

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@alexismassenburg7514]

Do you think the Camille rose almond jai butter could be used and then the mielle custard on after for a wash and go?

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Hmmmmmm I'm not sure. Considering the consistency of both products, I'm not sure if they would work together. You could test them out in your hand first before putting them in your hair?

[@alexismassenburg7514]

@@Life.Love.Locs. Makes sense. I think Im going to try out the As I am line, and leave the Camille Rose for twist sets. Thanks!

[@truetv781]

Alexis Massenburg yep

[@ericablake235]

I just tried it last night ...and IM STARTING TO RETHINK my curl pattern.lol

[@SystematicSarah]

where can i get Mielle products in the U.K.? thank you

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

There are a few places: Hairitage, Naturalistic Products, Byooti, Neriah Beauty - just to name a few. (All Black owned retailers).

[@SystematicSarah]

The Curly Closet thank you so much ❤️

[@sheke32]

It looked the same to me 😅 but if I had to choose more definition/shrinkage vs less shrinkage/definition....I would personally go with less shrinkage so As I Am wld b the winner for me...but like I said I couldn't tell the difference with the finish results so both were good in my eyes 🙂 awesome review! Question did you wash your hands before using the mielle product to get a fair review on "stickiness" of that product?

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks so much and LOL... yes, I did :) I always do. It wouldn't be a fair test otherwise!

[@joycedelifus4979]

I like them both.😂🌼

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the feedback 💜

[@fuqyea3670]

The As I am was a bit sticky for me

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I think because I've experienced more stickiness with other products, it wasn't so bad for me. But I do notice that products with pectin do have that sticky texture. Thanks for the feedback 💖
