WASH N' GO ON TYPE 4 HAIR | Alikay Naturals Moisture Rich Hair Parfait & Lemongrass Hold It Gel

[@Shaunpeters105]

I got the gel yall!!! 😂and it’s the perfect gel for a finger coiling ..it coils my hair way easier than eco styler gel I’m legit shook 🤣🤣 thanks for introducing us to this gel 😍😍

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Yw. I never thought to use it for finger coiling, but I can definitely see that. Thanks for sharing this idea with the SunRaes.

[@Shaunpeters105]

@@NaturalRaeRae lol no problem. It’s by accident I realized it could finger coil my hair

[@LaurelsCurls]

Yes! You are definitely the influencer who introduced me to the Alikay Styling Gel and...I. ABSOLUTELY. LOVE IT. It is my favorite gel for a wash & go. It gives me amazing hold (because I want my hair to last a full 7 days before washing again) and the shine is through the roof for me too. I agree with your thoughts on her other butters/moisturizers - they are not for me. I pair this gel with the She Scent It Passion Fruit and Flax Creamy leave-in and it is just perfection for what I am looking for in my hair. The first day it is like ramen noodles, but I band it overnight each night and it just gets more and more loose and natural-looking each day while still maintaining hold. I'm soooo thankful that you showcased this gel in one of your older videos and in your empties. I plan to only buy them when she has her 50% off sales so that I can stock up!!! I'm down to one jar remaining currently.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Oooh, I need to try the She Scent It Passion Fruit and Flax leave-in. I like She Scent It products; they are so moisturizing. I'm glad I was able to help you find a gel that you really like and that works for you. Thanks for watching!

[@Erika-lv6lh]

It's a different look however this hold is probably perfect for a hot and humid summer. For people doing gels only wash and go's it might be a good topper gel to pair with UFD.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Someone else said that they do use it for a topper to UFD and get great results. I will need to try that when I can get my hands on some more UFD. I'm out😢 Thanks for tuning in.

[@marleecarol]

@@NaturalRaeRae I'm so glad you said this...I bought two containers of this gel during a sale last year and haven't tried it yet. Been using UFD as a base for my wash n go with I Create Hold as my topper....will try this gel as my topper.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

@@marleecarol let me know how that works for you.

[@Shaunpeters105]

True I hardly hear anyone mentions this gel ,but I’m going to get it on pay day because of u..I prefer defined wash n gos

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I hope you like it. Let me know how it works for you once you try it.

[@Shaunpeters105]

Yup I’ve been dying to get that gel!!! Gonna get it and leave my eco and wetline alone

[@SheReaDelSol]

Whew this is an INDUSTRIAL hold. That’s crazy

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Industrial is right! Girl, Eco ain't got nothing on this gel.😂 But for those who love to wear this wash and gos for 7 days, this is the gel for that. Thanks for tuning in.

[@joythompson9530]

I love your results. I need to get that gel because I live for the weight, hold and clumping year round!

[@NaturalRaeRae]

It will give you the longevity, that is for sure. Let me know how you like it. Thanks for tuning in.

[@naturalnoni8212]

Beautiful results! I love this gel for the long lasting definition and hold. I use it with the Dulce Hydrating Curl Lotion though. The Moisture Rich Hair Parfait is something I use for two strand twists because like you said it is shea butter and oils like the other moisturizers she has. It does a great job sealing in moisture.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Thank you! I am going to have to try the Dulce with this gel, because I love the Dulce. Yeah, I'm going to leave the Parfait for twists or when I'm slicking back my hair for a high or low bun. Thanks for watching.

[@tinabrown673]

I absolutely loved your results before you stretched. I have that gel & now I’m going to have to try it

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Thank you! Let me know how it works for you.

[@braelynnblue]

I met the owner of Alikay, Rochelle. She is such a sweetheart! I have always said I would support her. I haven't really bought anything but I do gel only wash n gos and have wondered about this gel. Your hair looks great, I am going to pick this gel up.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

I wouldn't use this gel alone. It is too strong, you definitely need a moisturizing product underneath it. Thanks for tuning inl.

[@braelynnblue]

@@NaturalRaeRae I style my wash n gos on soaking wet hair. I use water as my leave in. I haven't used a leave in in almost a year. Yes there is a strong cast but I don't mind it because it makes my wash n gos last for days. My rinse out conditioner serves as my emollient and sets the stage and softness for my wash n gos so all I need is water. I didn't think not using a leave in was possible but after trying this method for over a year, it's one less thing I have to think about on wash day. I don't even DC anymore lol...

[@Love_Lai_xo]

Your hair really held up well. I'm going to have to pull this one out and give it a try. It's good to know it plays well with other products. I don't mind the ramen noodles as long as they can soften up like you said.😉 Thanks for sharing this! Great review!😊

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Thanks. You will definitely get ramen noodles, but if you use a nice moisturizer with it, it should soften up pretty well. Did you ever try the Jello Shot? It's on the lines of that.

[@Love_Lai_xo]

@@NaturalRaeRae Ok, noted. Not yet. I will be trying it very soon though.

[@sheflynatural]

You weren’t kidding! That definition is on and poppin!

[@NaturalRaeRae]

That right there!

[@TheNenaBrown]

The way you described the feeling of the parfait, is EXACTLY how I felt about the shea yogurt. I hated the way it felt goin on & it made my hair feel oily (I used the Lemongrass leave-in). I used it under the Wetline gel & it took FOOOOOREVER to dry! Lol And to add insult to injury, my hair felt dry.. I meeeean not moisturized at all 😞. I'm gonna try it for a twist out one day to see if I get better results that way... And you hair looked great! Especially on day 3!!

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Thanks. Sorry to hear that you didn't get the results you were looking for using the yogurt. I use it to remoisturize a twist out. When I have an old twist out, I spritz it with water or a conditioner/water mix and then top it with a very little bit of yogurt and twist. It gives me a fluffy, moisturized twist out that lasts a few more days until I wash. Try that and see if you like it.

[@TheNenaBrown]

@@NaturalRaeRae I'll definitely keep that in mind! Thank you!

[@nikkinicole2079]

It looks AMAZING!! The perfect combination of definition and Volume ❤

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Thanks. I have to get used to a really defined wash and go again because I have been liking fluffier ones lately. Thanks for tuning in.

[@Erudite48085]

I bought this gel! I was impressed by the fact that after "Juzzing" it with the hair milk, you didn't lose definition (me: Look of shock!). Your hair did not lose the shine, either. I am getting ready to take the leap to a wash and go (I am a Twist Out girl only but "influenced" by LaToya Ebony) and looking for "that" gel I know will give good hold if applied over an oil/leave in/curl cream! I'll watch again I'm sure for application tips!

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Hi Drew! Thanks for tuning in and I hope the gel works for you. It is definitely a gel that can hold up to oils and creams. Let me know how your wash and go turns out!

[@Steffmd25]

Loved your results. I definitely need to try this gel.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Hey Steff! If you like hard holding gels, you will like this. Thanks for tuning in.

hi rae 🤗 gorgeous results. day 3 is looking VERY nice - lots of definition you weren't joking with the hold. i have it but haven't used it yet. i need ramen noodle hair...it may hold up to me not being able to preserve a style overnight! 😂🤣 tfs

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Thank you! If you don't mind a strong hold and ramen noodle like hair, then this gel is for you. Let me know how you like it once you break it open. Thanks for watching.

[@totsflower]

I love this gel! My perfect wash and go combo is Alikay Naturals leave in, UFD Curly Magic and the Alikay Naturals gel. It seems like this is less crunchy. I tried it for a couple of weeks with the UFD leave in but it is very moisturized but doesn't last past 4 days.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

Great combo. I need to try that, but I am out of the UFD Curly Magic😢 What UFD leave-in did you try with it? Curious. thanks for tuning in.

[@totsflower]

@@NaturalRaeRae Supercurl. You're welcome. I love the way you come back and show us 3rd or 4th day hair! I did find that the gel doesn't mix well with curlsmith curl conditioning oil in cream.

[@NaturalRaeRae]

@@totsflower oh, good to know what it doesn't mix with; thanks for sharing that. I need to try more UFD products; I've only tried the Curly Magic.

Omg I brought this gel because of you now I'm about to break my word and buy the moisture rich 💃🏽

I'm not a big fan of the hair parfait, but it did its job. I prefer a different moisturizing product under this gel. Thanks for tuning in.

Do you think you can use the parfait as a body butter?

Personally, I wouldn't because I don't like a greasy feel on my skin. But if someone likes the feel of shea butter on their skin, they may like it for a body butter. Thanks for watching and for the question.
