We Gotta Talk...| Briogeo Curl Charisma Rice Amino + Avocado Collection Review + Demo On 3C/4A Hair!

[@laravds9801]

First of all: thank you for the lovely content ❤️👍! A quick suggestion: as a fellow coarse stranded, low-po curly, I have to skip the conditioner phase and go straight to deep-conditioning. All conditioners leave a thin film of product over my hair, which blocks the deep-conditioner from optimally penetrating. I find it easy enough to detangle with most deep-co's, so this actually saves me an extra step.

[@angieandthecity]

Maybe more water,more product,more sections.?♥️ beautiful hair.

[@shelunknown4452]

Your hairs beautiful. I’m thinking since it has gotten fuller and longer maybe if you were to section your hair into quadrants the products would absorb evenly. I have learned on my curly journey my back curls are tighter so it may be that the back area needs more sprayed water alternating with product. I feel like a good mousse in combination with gel usage would get it popping and defined for the results you want. Twists also allow for a more stretched look but I add Bobby pins carefully and blow dry cool/warm and take the pins out once completely dry. Much love 💕 😀🌺

[@rachelm.3173]

I hate when a styler leaves me with a frizzy, undefined wash and go😫 All that work for nothing. I enjoy Briogeo's deep conditioners, but I'm scared to try out their stylers. Great review♥️

[@curlelia]

Girl same!! What helps is that I can help you guys along the way.. but I don't think I'll be retrying these stylers. The hold just wasn't there! We'll just have to stick to their shampoo, conditioner, and masks! 😭

[@chelleyrenee]

I love fluffy not super super defined hair so i love your final results 😍😍😍but i can see why you don’t love it and you definitely can’t get days out of it

[@curlelia]

I knew a few of you would! It's not my favorite because in one day it would be a mess 😩

[@flowergirl3700]

Thank you for the honest review. I'm a subscriber and will continue to watch you for your honest feedback. I have type 3b/3c hair and the leave-in conditioner didn't work for me at all. I threw it out after the 2nd try. I thought it was just me but seeing your results gave me a flashback to what my hair looked like. I was debating trying the gel since I try to support black owned brands, but I think I will look for another option instead. I do like the Briogeo deep conditioners/masks. The Kiwi one is perfection!

[@curlelia]

Awe thank you for your support! No, you're not alone. I MIGHT try the leave in with another gel, but I'm not even sure if it's worth it. I think it's perfect for those with a looser curl pattern and curls that don't require as much hold as ours. The Briogeo deep conditioners are definitely unmatched! I LOVE them!

[@lisalanghart59]

Have you ever tried the Curl Charisma Chia + Flaxseed Coil Custard? I think that would work well for you.

[@Caplor04]

I know it was a while ago that you did this video but I sure am hoping you try the coiling custard. Seems the best styler out of this line for thick tight curls.

[@eryleigh8476]

I am so grateful that I found your channel because I have never seen anyone with hair like mine and you are the first person that I’ve seen who has hair almost exactly like mine it could be it’s twin or fraternal twin so I’m hoping I get to learn a lot from you and your videos to help me improve in my hair journey

[@Pr0t0typez]

I know you didnt like it but i love the volume on you! The good thing abt darker hair is it hides frizz really well .

[@junettewatson9236]

Between this mask and the kiwi & avocado mask, which do you prefer more and why?

[@gennijackson3317]

I totally get it. When washing it was so defined and so moisturizing. For the day it was fine but definitely doesn't last for multiple days. Also I noticed as the week progressed my hair felt so dry and my scalp seems so flaky and dry 😞. My scalp hasn't been this flaky or dry mind you I've been using curlsmith for a year.

[@bluevi]

for curl carisma line, i really like the coil custard. i noticed i need to add a lot of water for the product to set in my curls and add wet line extreme gel then it lasts for 4/5 days with a lot of definition (for context: we have similar hair [ 3c/4a] and most of the the products you like work well for me) the other stylers in the curl carisma line didn’t work for me either

[@curlelia]

Ouuuuu okay thank you for sharing that! They didn't send that over, but I may have to check it out based on this review you're giving me! I really wanted to love their stylers, but maybe this coil custard is it!

[@chelleyrenee]

I love the mask and custard from this line

[@curlelia]

The custard? 👀 Maybe I'll check that one out! But the mask is amazing!

[@myleneberkowitz9418]

It looks really nice, soft and defined.

[@CreoleKing1986]

I condition before I deep condition as well because I notice that my hair comes out better. Then you have Moknowshair who says the deep conditioner is absolutely not getting into your hair if you condition first. You really just have to do what works. Love the cut btw!

[@curlelia]

I'm not sure how that theory of the mask not getting into your hair makes sense. The only way I can see that being the case is if you use a conditioner with non water soluble silicones! Thank you btw! 💕

[@shari-leedavis1576]

@@curlelia moknowshair says that once you’ve conditioned your hair, it lays and seals your cuticle. So deep conditioning after that makes no sense and you’re essentially wasting product and she’s a licensed cosmetologist. So you either condition or deep condition, never both on the same wash day

[@teneshabailey9476]

@@shari-leedavis1576 agreed. you actually save way more time on wash day using one or the other, as opposed to both. I for one like to save my time AND money.

[@CreoleKing1986]

@@shari-leedavis1576 Mo is a licensed cosmetologist, but I know PLENTY of licensed cosmetologist who have screwed up mine and other people's hair, so I don't put much stock in that. She gives some great tips but all of them don't work for everyone. I have tried it both ways and my hair behaves much better when I do both. Also she says that products that contain protein but aren't a "protein treatment" can be used by anyone at anytime (many of her products have protein in them). I tried that tip against my better judgment because it has caused me problems in the past and once again I was left with hard, unruly hair. Some people are sensitive to protein, and that's just what it is. As I always say, you have to do what works for you, and it is YOUR hair after all, so if you can maintain it in a way that makes you happy and allows you to reach your hair goals, then why would we dishonor God by going against that lol (Tabitha Brown voice).

[@curlelia]

I agree with @CreoleKing on this one. I'm sure knows that she's talking about, but with hair- it's not a one size fits all. So what works for me may not work for you, and vice versa! I've also spoken to multiple licensed cosmetologists about this and they agree that there are no cons to using conditioner before deep conditioning. Now like I said, if the conditioner is loaded with silicones and harsh ingredients that form a film on your hair- any product used afterwards would most likely be pointless. Now, if using one or the other works best for you- that's perfect, I agree you're definitely saving on product! My hair would just use up wayyyy too much of a deep conditioner or masque if I solely used that to detangle/deep condition. I'll never tell anyone what they should do with their hair, I just share what I do and what works best for me.

[@vanessathefinessa]

I definitely want to give briogeo a try! your hair looks so healthy

[@ErikaRandolph88]

Hey lovely you have a beautiful head full of curls... love watching your videos. I think a clay mask can really help you just to detox from the build up we can get from conditioner, hair creams, gels and edge controls. I recently did one and my curls are popping way more than they have been recently. Hope this helps!! cause it sure helped me😉 xoxo

[@tynishacampbell9667]

Cosign on this Brigeo gel does not work for me but their customer service is so great that I got a full refund without having to ship it back. Loving the shampoo and deep conditioners!!

[@curlelia]

Oh good!! You see, I don't think there's anything wrong with the gel not working for me. I've seen it work for others beautifully! BUT I am glad they gave you a full refund! These were sent to me, so I'll probably end up passing them to family!

[@curlelia]

Thank you love! ❤️

[@jhazell25]

I just tried the cowash and mask from this line and loved them both. Cowash has great slip and is great for mid week washes. Love the mask as well. The stylers did not work for me either

[@curlelia]

Yeah, I haven't tried the co-wash, but the mask is amazing! I was so upset with the stylers 😭

[@lisalewis9268]

I just ordered both! Fingers crossed.

[@jhazell25]

I do two washes a week one regular and on cowash. My hair felt pretty clean and moisturizer after the cowash and finger detangled easily

[@lisalewis9268]

Did you see this line has a cowash now? Just put that in my cart too. I see what you mean about the styling products…I’m on the fence about those…🤔

[@curlelia]

I'm not a big co-wash person! Otherwise I'm sure it's also good! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nikkidavis2246]

Hi you skip one 9f the products. After the leave in you will section with the curling custard defining cream then the gel. They can be mixed in your hand. This will also require less.gel. you should give it another try.

[@bee6384]

Where did you get the steamer?

[@dareaper11]

those products have lots of protein in it so i wouldn’t recommend it for low porosity hair. protein overload can cause major breakage for my (low po) hair.

[@Mango690]

That’s true 👍

[@curlelia]

Thank you for sharing! Weirdly enough, my hair isn't super sensitive to protein which is why I'm able to try different products- but this one must've done it for me lol

[@aria45.fg.]

for frizz helps to do a clarifying shampoo 2 times a week and the briogeo rice amino shampoo and the briogeo dont despair repair mask and the results are bomb👌

[@kevinnporee7443]

I had the same issue with the curl charisma leave in. I used it to style my hair and it just didn't feel right. My hair felt like it was drying up and even though I used my denman brush to style my hair, I had so little definition when my hair dried and it became a ball of frizz when I went outside. I get the impression Briogeo stylers aren't that great for low porosity hair. But just like you, the shampoo and conditioner works well for my hair 🤷🏾‍♀️ go figure

[@curlelia]

awww nooooo! Yeah everyone keeps mentioning that these products contain a lot of protein. My hair isn't actually super sensitive to protein which is why I can experiment with products! But, their shampoos, conditioner, and masks are *chefs kiss* amazing! So we'll just have to settle for those for now! 😂❤️

[@neomiegonzalez]

I feeel you I prefer less frizz more definitely as-well but I do love the results 😍😍😍 haha yes I come to your page first lol thanks I won’t try this one

[@ddj1456]

I was also super disappointed when I tried the briogeo stylers. The leave-in was okay but the gel made my hair a dry, frizzy mess! I gave it a second chance but seems like it made my hair even worse. I just wind up throwing them away since you can barely do more than 2 wash days with them anyways.

You should do a video just washing and conditioning your hair and using no product. Just air dry. I would love to see what your hair looks like with no product. ( I'm trying to see if we have the same hair texture, lol)

It’s crazy because they have some of the best foundation products I’ve ever used but their styling products always miss. Super disappointing. But may work better on soaking wet hair.
