And show you what it takes to take care of type 4 hair and what a real real wash regimen looks like hello. Welcome back to my channel, i am naturally z and i feature my natural hair journey as well as my fitness journey and my weight loss journey. This video is going to be a natural hair care, video and right at the moment. I am not going to be showing you about my natural hair care, because my hair is in braids. I have it in a protective style because it is summer time it is super hot and it is best to leave your hair alone. When it's this hot, you don't want to put a lot of product on your hair. You don't want to be manipulating your hair a lot. So i have chosen to put my hair in braids, which i braid myself, and i show you guys, videos of me taking down my hair, doing a wash routine and putting back up check out those videos if you're interested in the length of my hair and how I care for my hair, but since my hair is up, i am going to do a different type of video and excuse me, the videos i do are deciphering products, because there are so many out there and it can be so overwhelming as to what to buy. When it comes to caring for natural hair now, if you guys like this video, like my channel, please make sure you subscribe, let's get right into the video, because i usually have very long videos, and i want to make this one short and succinct. So what i am going to be looking at today is the tg i n buttercream daily moisturizer. I picked up a sample packet at the hair store when i was getting my hair for my braiding of my hair, and i was really interested in what this has to offer. I'Ve never tried this product and i noticed based on the ingredients on the back, that it'd be a really good product to decipher, because when it comes to products, i think people are confused as to when and if they should use a certain product. And this is one of those products that it is best used at a particular time and that's why i am looking forward to letting you know when is the best time to use this product now what this product is. It is a moisturizer, it says here it's a buttercream daily moisturizer, i'm looking at the front of the product, which is the advertising for this product to lure you in to buy it. It says it nourishes and moisturize dry damaged and color treated hair. It has shea butter plus vitamin e in this product, so when it says it's a daily moisturizer that doesn't mean you have to use it daily. Well, when it comes to black hair care, we usually i'm not going to speak for everybody, but as far as moisturizing your hair on a daily basis, what we're doing is looking to bounce back the curl pattern that we have as well as moisturize our hair. So that's what i'm assuming this will do is to help with creating a curl pattern that is curly instead of frizzy. Well, that brings up a very good point. This particular product is very good during certain weather conditions and that's what i want to point out to you, because i have looked at the ingredients on the back and i can tell you right now that this product will not do well in certain weather conditions. So, let's just go right into what the ingredients are in this product: they are never featured on the front. You want to look at the back of the product because, on the back, it is required by law that the ingredients are listed in order of concentration from highest to lowest. So i'm looking at the back of this product and the ingredients that you need to look at are only the first five ingredients, because the work of this product will be done within the first five ingredients. And then i will tell you what each ingredient does and from there let you know when is the best time to use this product now i am not going to be telling you if it's a good product or a bad product. You need to test it on your hair, trial and error and see if your hair responds well to the product. Now as far as the ingredients, the first i wrote it down here. Oh here it is the first five ingredients are water, glycerin, shea butter, saterial, alcohol and coconut oil. Those are the first five ingredients now what each ingredient does? It serves a very important contribution to the texture of the product, as well as helping to moisturize your hair. I am feeling really positive about the product when it comes to it saying it moisturizes the hair, because these ingredients that are featured in within the first five ingredients do exactly that and are very, very common ingredients in a multitude of conditioners, leave-in conditioners, rinse out conditioners. Now, with water, water is very common in almost every hair product that you use, because one it helps with moisturizing as well as helps with combining the other ingredients together to create a nice like lotion, type creamy texture that you can apply it to your hair. The next ingredient is a very interesting ingredient featured as number two in this product, and that is the glycerin. Glycerin is a humectant. A humectant is an ingredient that is there for moisture and it's not applying direct moisture to your hair. What it is doing is helping to attract moisture to your hair, and this is what this product has featured as its main ingredient is the glycerin and the glycerin. What it will do is there is moisture in the air and with that moisture the glycerin will help to attract the moisture from the air and will have it go into your hair strands and at that point, you're going to have other ingredients within this product that Help maintain that moisture in your hair and lose it um slower than it would be if you didn't have those other ingredients, so that is where the third ingredient comes into play. The shea butter, the shea butter, is an actual moisturizer that you are applying to your hair, but it is also it helps to coat your hair strands as well as help to lock in the moisture that you are gaining from the atmosphere and it is being soaked Into or absorbed into your hair strands, the fourth ingredient saterial alcohol, it falls under the groups of ingredients called fatty alcohols and what it does. It helps mixing oil and water together to create creamy texture, but it also has other functions as far as coating. The hair strands and helping to lock in moisture in your hair and then the fifth ingredient is coconut oil. Coconut oil is simply an emollient. An emollient is something that helps to coat your hair to help with slowing down losing moisture from your hair strands. So this product is great in the sense of providing moisture attracting moisture as well as locking in moisture. Now. The issue with this product is that you have to. You have to be mindful of the weather in using this product when it features as its main ingredient. Glycerin glycerin attracts moisture period, but if the weather or the outside uh conditions are drier than what your hair is, and you apply a product such as this, that has glycerin as a main ingredient in it. Then, what's going to happen is that the moisture that you have in your hair strands can be pulled out of your hair strands and be drawn into the environment, because the environment is drier than your hair strands. If it's the second ingredient on the list of ingredients, it's a main ingredient and you have to then check the dew point in your city, where you're at in your local environment, to see if this product is a good product to use. In response to what the dew point is so what you can do go to the internet go to the specific site weather.com in the search window. You will put the city that you are currently residing in. So that's what i've done here is. I went online. I'Ve checked the dew point in my area, and i see here that it's 54 degrees and the dew point will be presented to you and then you can decide if it's right to use this product as a result of knowing what the dew point is. Now there are certain ranges of dew point and you you may not know what dew point is. What dew point is. Basically, it just means the amount of moisture in the air and it is measured by degrees, and there are certain ranges of the dew point that it's best to use a product that features glycerin, and there are ranges that is best not to use a product that Features glycerin as a main ingredient and according to naturallycurly.com, which did an article on dew points, and it's called the 4-1-1 on dew points and humectants. It says here that in areas where the moisture and humidity is very high, like areas that are wet, such as down in florida and so forth, humectants i.e glycerin can overdo their job by absorbing so much moisture that the hair becomes bloated. This leads to puffy frizzy hair instead of well-defined curls and waves. So as far as the ranges that it's best to use a product that features glycerin, it is between 40 to 60 degrees. That is a range where there is moisture in the air. You apply a product that features glycerin as a main ingredient. The product will be able to pull moisture from the air and that air will be attracted to the glycerin that you have on your hair strands and that moisture will be drawn into your hair strands. That is what you want and should get with this product. It has to be trial and error, and the trial and error is that there's no guarantee that a certain range will work for everyone. Yours may be higher or lower. For me personally, i have high porosity hair. That means i have hair strands where the cuticle layer is always up, and i need to use heavy butters in order to lower my cuticle layer of my hair strands to lock in moisture and if i use a product that has a lot of glycerin in it. It can damage my hair in the sense of keeping my cuticle layers lifted extremely high when the dew point is too high. So make sure you look at the dew point in your local city, where you're residing or where you're staying where you're visiting, and you can then decide whether to use a product that features glycerin as a main ingredient and decide to use it or not.
