Hey curlfriends, i'm bianca, renee and you're watching beyond grenade today and today, i'll be reviewing. The entire collection from emerge emerge is a newer line they launched at target and it's black owned. So i was really excited to try this on this first launch. It took me a while to get them but emerge finally sent me the entire collection, but although they did send me all these products, this video is not sponsored. I'M going to give my full and honest review per usual, and not only am i gon na give my two cents, you guys my subscribers. My instagram followers are going to be reviewing these products with me. So i put up a little question in my instagram story and i said: hey: what's the t on these products, how do they work for you? What do you like? What don't you like and you guys went in on these products, so i'm gon na share all the things that you had to say about these products and then i'm also gon na give my two cents and show you how i applied everything. So in the collection they have the it's not happening: sulfate, free, shampoo, cute names and the smooth mover conditioner. Then they also have some styling products. They have the emerge style goals gel they have the your main bestie, that's cute. I like these names, leave-in conditioner. They also have a back to life, hair mask and the worx buttercream pretty much cream styler. So they have a pretty legit collection. I think they give you everything. You need cleanser, conditioner, deep conditioner, a gel cream, styler leave-in, like that's just the basics, of what i think, every curly hair launch or line needs. First thing i noticed is the packaging pretty cute simple geometric, but these are also really big bottles. So these shampoo and conditioner are 16 fluid ounces, where on average, a lot of products are like 10 or 12, and even these masks, let's see the mask is 15 ounces. The cream is 15 ounces, gel is 11 ounces and then the leave-in is another 15 ounce. So you get a good amount of product and they're super affordable. Every single product is only 6.99 so for seven dollars. That'S a lot of product, and i love when each product is just the same price - makes my life easier. So for basically seven dollars each. You can get the entire collection for 42., not bad, but do they work, let's get into it. So, let's start off with the shampoo and conditioner, the shampoo is probably the best smelling out of the whole line. They pretty much all smell the same, but this one smells a little bit better across the board. It has like a floral lotion scent one of the most common responses that i'm going to read from you guys is that you guys hate the smell smells so bad. I hate the smell trash smells so bad meh. The smell barf face emoji terrible smells like a funeral. It'S okay trash can emoji whoa, so um after reading, all those i was like i'm not gon na like these products. I think i got maybe three responses. That said, they did like the smell, but the majority of people do not like the smell, so i'm really big on smells. Luckily it doesn't linger in my hair, but it just doesn't make you excited to use it. It'S not happening. Sulfate free shampoo says it's for curly and coily textures, it's supposed to cleanse and detangle, and it's infused with almond milk almond milk isn't something we should like excited to have in my products but um it's in there. I would never detangle with my shampoo. It'S claiming you can, i did it and wasn't able to it's. Definitely not like a very harsh or stripping shampoo, but i mean it was cool. It got the job done once i rinse it out. I then grab the smooth mover, conditioner, moisturizing and softening also infused with almond milk. Why would you want your shampoo to be detangling but it doesn't say detangling on the conditioner? Well, that's interesting because i was not able to detangle with this conditioner. I applied a pretty legit amount like this was after one use. I already made a dent and, as you can see i was struggling like i could not detangle it wasn't giving me any moisture or help it just kind of sat there and it was really frustrating and usually when i can't finger detangle. That'S like the first sign that something's going on and then of course i forgot my behavioral brush outside the shower, so i had to detangle with, like other brushes, that just weren't getting the job done so yeah the conditioner is a no it's a no for me. Dog, the smell is pretty strong in this one. So i wasn't happy about the smell. Wasn'T happy about the detangling. I will probably never use this again after struggling to detangle my curls. I finally got through it and then i added the emerge back to life. Hair mask this hair mask is supposed to deep condition and revive your curls infused with almond milk, and it's a pretty big tub with that same ugh. This was probably the worst smell out of all of them, but applying it. It just didn't really feel like very moisture rich. It just felt like i was putting it on it was there. I don't know it kind of feels more like a normal conditioner, instead of like a deep hair mask, so it says to leave on for about 15 minutes. I put under a shower cap, just kind of finish the rest of my shower. I ended up shaving with the conditioner, because i'm never gon na use that on my hair again, but then i rinsed it out and i don't know i feel like i just rinsed it out. I don't see like a huge difference. What did you guys have to say about the hair mask? I tried the deep conditioner and it felt like i didn't, have anything on my hair still try the deep conditioner smells bad. I use it as a normal conditioner, so it doesn't go to waste. I can see that so deep conditioner is okay. I prefer to have more slip, but that's the only thing i've tried from them. The deep conditioner is okay. I prefer to have more slip. The deep conditioner got me, but when i try the rest of the line nope, the deep conditioner is literally amazing. Oh, this is a good one. I'Ve only tried the deep conditioner i love it. It gives my curls definition and moisture. I'Ve only used a deep conditioner. It was okay, but not the best, but i love the price. I love the hair. Mask love it. So the general consensus of the deep conditioner is that it's pretty basic it might as well just be the conditioner it's an affordable option. If you need something, but i don't think it's anybody's favorite, so after a pretty mediocre shower, i just i wasn't very optimistic about the styling products, but i continued you also know i don't usually use leave-in conditioners because you like a lot of hold and if you Use a leave-in first, it's going to make your gel not be as hard, but i want to try them all. So i started off my styling with the leave-in conditioner. This is called your main bestie love, the name for curling coily, textures, nourishing and smoothing infused with pique oil. The leave-in conditioner felt decent. It wasn't like extremely moisturizing, then, on top of it, i cocktailed with the style goals, gel definition and control. This is claiming to have no hard crunch ever which i kind of like they're supposed to give you definitions, slick hold, so maybe it could be used to like slick down. Ponytails haven't tried that yet alcohol free formula - it's not really a thick gel. It'S a pretty thin consistency, i'm also a fan of the squeeze tube. Let'S see what you had to say about the gel. I used the gel for coily hair. It was too watery for my type 4 curls. I got frizz. The gel is water in a gel bottle. The gel turns into water. It was runny before, but it's even more now not exciting. Gel is crazy. Returned the gel sucks absolute garbage. The gel is the equivalent of bottled water with a tablespoon of actual gel in it. Wow, the gel is super lightweight. I think it's good. If you use the gel to refresh the gel is water i feel like i had to use a lot. The hair gel is okay watery. The gel is liquid compared to my eco gel, but i was shook on how well it worked see: okay, there's one, i'm not alone there. So, with the gel i mean i would agree that it is pretty watery, so i could see it maybe not doing enough for certain hair types. So after i applied the leave-in conditioner and the gel, i then let it sit for a little bit and then i diffused after i'd fused. These were my very surprising results. It looked really good even on day one and it's really hard for me to like my day, one curls, but my curls look really defined. They look shiny and moisturized. I was really happy and surprised, especially after reading all your comments, but now i still had one more styler to try out, which is the worx buttercream. So now, let's skip to this morning when i refreshed with the cream and we're back with my day two curls, i slept with my hair in a pineapple using a satin scrunchie from lily silk and now, let's assess the damage, looks pretty good for not having really Any hold yesterday, the curls are still defined. Gon na have to do a little refreshing, although i'm tempted to use the gel again on its own, to refresh. I still want to try another product in their line, which is the curl definition and softness infused with paqui oil for moisture, rich frizz, free, curl definition, sulfate paired and silicone free. This might be a really easy refresh for this cream, as long as it doesn't weigh down my hair, because my hair still looks really good from yesterday's little combo, but i'm going to add some water and yes, i'm wearing the same outfit as yesterday. I don't have enough outfits to be wearing two things per video: it's actually not that thick, it's actually still pretty lightweight kind of like a watery cream. But let's see what this does see. This will add some moisture to my refresh curls, because your hair might get a little dry throughout the week. Fortunately, i did not continue to smell the products in my hair yesterday, so i'm hoping this cream also doesn't linger. So i'm let this air dry see how it goes. Maybe a little diffusing, then we'll come back and see how this buttercream buttercream buttercream doesn't like curls, and this is my hair. After diffusing, i got ta say i'm pretty surprised after reading all the comments from you guys, i would had very very very low expectations, but my hair actually looks really good um. The smell isn't really there anymore. My curls look still very defined, but i don't know if i can give all the credit to the styling cream. It could be because of the gel from the previous day, so i'm not sure how the cream would work completely on its own straight out the shower. I kind of felt like it wouldn't have enough hold for me, especially to get throughout the week, but starting off with a gel and then having remnants of the gel to then refresh with the cream. It'S giving me good results while diffusing my hair and i was scrunching it. I did notice that i kind of had like a little bit of a sticky or film like feeling on my hands. The cream was lightweight enough for my low porosity, fine hair, but i could see this being not moisturizing enough for those that have thick dense or coarser hair. So you might want to do a leave-in with the cream and see how much moisture that gets you my day. Two curls always do look better than day one, but like i'm getting these really nice ringlets and i got some pretty good volume, they're pretty good. So these are all the responses. I got. Let'S see how many liked it it worked well for me, but the smell very strong, grandma vibes, love, love, love. I especially love the cream and gel. I love the deep conditioner deep conditioner is literally amazing. I love their styling gel. I love the deep conditioner really really good. You get so much for 15 ounces for less amazing love. It love it. It'S amazing love amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, and that's it for the positive comments. So overall, based on my personal experience and after reading all of your comments, these products are pretty average they're, not anyone's favorite, but they're, also not like the worst ever. I can recommend them in the sense that they don't have any harsh or bad ingredients for your hair. They'Re super affordable. It'S a black owned brand they're easily available at target, but they're not like my favorite. They wouldn't be the first products that i recommend to you. Guys when definitely starting off your curly hair journey, but if you just need something, that's like cheap, easy! You get a lot for your money. This could be a decent option. I do want to continue to try this gel like for a full week. This is pretty much like a first impressions, video, so make sure you follow me on instagram, so you can watch my stories and see if this product gets better with time worse with time, maybe on its own, it might have some more hold as a first impression. I am impressed with my results. I don't really like the smell or like the feeling on my hair, but it did make my curls very defined and they look pretty moisturized. I'M not excited to use this line again, especially when us product junkies have so many products to choose from you got ta be really bomb for me to grab for you versus the other 90 products on my shelf. So, thank you all for letting me know your honest opinion on these products. I think i want to continue to do this, so i can actually include your opinions in my videos. I know people think that youtubers and influencers are biased, but i'm always going to give you guys the truth. These products were sent to me for free, but they don't even know that i'm making this video and i'm giving you guys what you need to know. I can't wholeheartedly be like these are the best products ever knowing how many people weren't satisfied with them.

BiancaReneeToday: Thanks for watching my new video!! I already know many of you are going to say “everything works for my hair” which isn’t true... I usually just don’t like to waste my time filming videos about products that don’t work... BUT I also don’t want you all to waste your money on things so I think I’m going to start reviewing more even if they aren’t my fav. I also believe that the healthier your hair is and the more experience you get with styling/ taking care of your curls, the MORE products will work for you because you’ll understand what your hair needs and how to use them. It’s hard to make a beautiful healthy curl look ugly Overall I got beautiful results from these products but since SO MANY of you weren’t a fan... makes me skeptical to give it the full stamp of approval but... feel free to try them for yourself! I’d love to for you to find a $7 product that works well for your hair. ❤️
britt_loveebug: I remember when you used to not like posting about products you didn't absolutely love. I'm so glad you've started sharing now! Please do more like this because we get to see another side of you! ❤️
MerindaNOTMiranda: That's so weird that people hated the smell. I liked it. I thought it smelled like gardenia flowers. But i also only used the cream styler so maybe that's why
Madi Zuro: I LOVE the “Your Mane Bestie” leave-in! The slip is so great for my hair and the smell is lovely to me. I get so tired of everything smelling like coconut, so gardenia or whatever it is is a nice change ♀️
patoguadia: You're the most honest reviewer out there!! I feel that I do not need anyone else's input if you have already made a video! Thank you!!
Bryttany Grandoit: i actually tried this like when i first saw it and hated it. i love the honesty in your reviews without bashing the company!
Smileyvik23: I tried this line a little while ago, and everything was okay. No crazy results, just average. The leave in was good, and has tons of slip, but wasn’t crazy moisturizing to me. I ended up giving my products away to some curl friends with a looser texture than mine.
Ahmad Almusallam: I love Bianca's product reviews. I let go of the buzz cuts and started to embrace my curls in March 2020 and been watching these reviews ever since. Tried a lot of the products that Bianca recommended. For now I'm very happy with CurlSmith and Flora and Curl. (Dont think Bianca reviewed Flora tho) . I'm a low porosity 2b and those 2 brands worked best for my hair.
Robyn Keller: Thank you for trying things for us Bianca, I love to see you give your honest opinion always and you always make it clear that it’s what works FOR YOU! One of my favorite influencers for sure! I know it would be easy for you to take sponsorships left and right but you only take them from brands you already know, love, and trust! Thank you for being a curly girl supporter! We need you!!
Joy Ramer: I have 2C/3A low porosity hair and I LOVE the leave in conditioner. I personally don’t notice the smell at all and I was honestly shook at how polarizing it was. The fact that you get so much for so little is definitely why I purchased it initially, but I haven’t been disappointed yet.
Gemini Rae: I personally love the leave-in conditioner ...big and good for the price! & thank you for posting on the other products in the line & saving me some $
Brooke A: This was hilarious yet helpful. The subscriber opinions were a nice touch!!! Would love to see them included more often, maybe even voting scales to switch it up?
Nurrvy Eka: Thank you for including other people’s reviews! It made me feel better of the overall review. I had been wanting to try this line for so long but have been so hesitant. You helped me learn what works and what doesn’t without spending the extra money to figure it out.
Gabrielle Cox: Love that you added our opinions from your Instagram to this video! I’ve been seeing this brand at Target a lot, so I’m glad that you finally reviewed them and saved me some money from trying them lol
Azylyah A: I actually love the gel! I've been looking for a new liquid gel after not being to find my favorite (Palmers olive oil flaxseed gel) in stores anymore. This is one of the closest I have found so far
Kelli D.: You are very fortunate to have such a wide variety of products that work on your hair!
Zionicbonds: I actually really love their curl cream! I pair it with any oil I have lying around the house. It’s the only cream I’ve ever used thats left my hair with a lot of moisture and definition.
SarinaB: I love that you did this review! I have the gel and personally love it with my fine low porosity hair! Smell should be better though, agreed
CurlyMessican: I love that you include your subscribers opinions! Very cool
Megan Norat: I love how honest you always are! It shows how much you care about your viewers and not just trying to stay in the good graces of a company. Much appreciated!♥️♥️♥️
Alexis Allen: OK first off great video & I love how you incorporated other peoples opinions in it. I've always use their butter cream (I love it) but today I bought their entire line besides the gel I'm excited to use it thank you for the wonderful review . Oh and your hair looks awesome
M J: Note to self: Don’t buy these products ✔️ Thank you for this review Bianca!
imadetheurllonger: I love the smell and I've been using the leave in. I think it's really good for low porosity hair
Kati Benzer: I have never tried this line, but I love reviews so I can have other opinions to consider.
Ashlynn Moses: Love the honesty and love how you incorporated your subscriber's views as well, added a twist to your videos!
Elektra: Thanks for reviewing the line! I have the deep conditioner and styling cream and both give me great results (3a-3b curls); however, I wouldn't repurchase the styler because it leaves a coating on my hair that I really dislike. The deep conditioner feels basic in shower but my curls are noticeably more defined and shiny when they dry (compared to using a different conditioner) so I'll continue using it..
Jazmine Jackson: I love the hair mask!!! I use it as a leave in. My wash and goes are beautiful. It mixes well with echo styler gel!!! The smell doesn't bother me. I didnt realize there was a strong smell.
Melle Sol: Girl... So... I went to target to grab a leave in, any leave in, because I'm waiting for black Friday. I saw this line and was like 'ohh big bottle' took a closer look and saw it had non silicone, then the price, then I saw the whole line and figured what the hell. I've been using for about two weeks and I just think they are weird... Like I get seriously amazing results but there is just something weird, off about them. I don't know about the smell since I have anosmia and can't smell anything. But my boyfriend who hates strong smells ACTUALLY like the way this smells, he said "it's pleasant' - when I told him that you tube disagrees with him and that most reviews mention disliking the smell, he said, "well it's better than walking around smelling like candy or fruit" soooooo idk what to feel about these products... My hair looks great feels nice but there is just something I can't put my finger on... Will I repurchase? Probably the butter cream and leave in and maybe the gel... It's only six freekin 99 afterall
Andrea Henry: Thanks for the review!!!! It looks not to great lol I love you being our Guinea pig lol and reading the reviews for the curl friends is GENIUS! Love you Bianca!
Sarah Herbert: Your reviews are always so thorough & helpful. Thanks Bianca!
Janetria Leonard: I’ve tried the shampoo, conditioner, mask, and leave in. My least favorite product was the mask and my most favorite product was the leave in. The conditioner was more moisturizing than the mask for me and It also detangled my hair very well.
troubledangel12: I've seen these at Target and was waiting for you to review them before I went out and bought any. I told my daughter when we saw them "I haven't heard anything about these from my girl Bianca, so I'll wait in getting them."
Aisha Santana: I have 3c 4a hair and the only emerge product that works amazing for me is the butter cream styler. the shampoo and conditioner were GARBAGE and left my hair feeling super dry, but surprisingly the styler works super well for me! i also recommend texture ID (the primer for the purple line specifically) from Sallys, Design Essentials and Talia Wajhid !!
Sara789 789: Hey, gorg. I used to go to my hairdresser that is so unprofessional (forgets appointments and never follows up) since she has a lot of customers now. She is hyped up on social media. She only works on very loose textures and uses a lot of strong products to hold up curls (that she finger coils one by one). Since she is "famous" she does not work with type 3b curls anymore, nor is she coloring it. When she was working from home, she used to color my hair very carefully and took all her time to perfect it, now she is blown up I have never seen her doing the same "great' job on others. Since then, I have a large amount of new hair growth that is very healthy and silk and I cut the ends more and cute bangs. I love it. But in the future Idk what to do. Never color again or find someone far away that can do a few highlights. Do you know any (fall) styles that are easy to manage? I hate my hair being black (which is my natural hair color). The ends of my hair still have some highlights (honey brown). I was thinking to do some highlights in the summer in the front (to minimize breakages) but Idk how that will look. BTW I have 3b curls (with few 3c hairs but the majority is 3b). My hair curls up very much without any manipulation (and the texture is similar to yours), not to be cocky but I haven't seen my type of curls on others which makes (curly) hair so unique. I love everything about your hair and you're so humble (love your energy) <3 I wish I could find a hairdresser like yours cause they've done an amazing job! :( I just want a few highlights so it can brighten everything haha. I hate it when everything is so dark cause that does not match my personality.
Kerriscia G: I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS! I was like Bianca will review these one day, while I was in Target when they first came out lol. Thank you for your honest opinion. And you are right, you have to be bringing something to the table in order for you to have a permanent seat honey. Because I have a lot of products lol.
ASM Movies: Your hair looks amazing! This just goes to show that different products work differently on everyone
Christine Vega: I actually used the deep conditioner and I cant say what it does as I use it once a week when I do my deep conditioner process. Love the price. The scent is decent.
Shelly Brown: Thanks, BiancaRenee. I like your recommendations. I thought I liked Dippity Do but it didn’t really work for me when my hair was transitioning. I like a combo of Ouidad and Treluxe. Surprise! That works really well for me with my length and texture. As a third year natural, I’m coming into my own where my hair is concerned. I’m a diy-er and a buyer of black-owned products. I’m still looking for my Mecca; my Trinity; my Holy Grail of products. Thanks for your reviews.
Kyle Clements: I was so excited to try the entire collection after waiting for them to be released. I have no problems with anything except for the gel. The packaging is horrendous and leads to a waste of product any time it's used. Pours out of the cap like water. I tried to contact the brand directly just to see if these was intentional for whatever reason or if they were just unaware of the issue. The response I got from there basically indicated that they didn't care. I no longer use anything in the line and won't repurchase unless the packaging is revamped.
michelle C: Girl I have to tell you I finally went and bought some of the Curlsmith products and OMG! Why didn’t I try them sooner...I will never go back after trying them..my dry, course hair has never been better! And yah, I tried this hair mask once...mmmm, I threw it in the trash..my hair felt like straw...♀️
Wanda Scholtens: I haven’t tried these products and I’m not sure if I will. I finally have a hair routine down from many years of trying. Thank you for reviewing this line
Vicky: First of all, why does your hair ALWAYS gotta look so perfect?!! 2nd... I’m scared about these products but.... I still want to try them lmao
rainbowyahi: The Deep conditioner works great for my daughters 3C curls. We don’t love the scent, but once we put other styling products in her hair, you don’t smell it.
Felicity Ford: I’m just gonna pass. I have other products that don’t require a prayer before I use them . Based on the products I already use from my stash , I know my hair won’t like it. My bank account would love these products though.
Jazmin Jordan: I can't use products that don't smell good in my hair. No way! Beautiful results with the gel, Bianca! Beautiful results with the buttercream styler!
Che' is meh: I didn’t like the gel so I just use the cream butter and it works great by itself! And I get zero frizz with a few days wear still defined curls
Larissa Duran: I only used the leaving conditioner and it works pretty well on my type 3-B 3-C hair, so far it’s been getting the work done. But I don’t think I’m gonna try any other product of the line so far lol
Curls Academy: I haven’t tried these products yet but after watching this video I’m tornI like the price but it sounds like I may not like it! Bianca your hair is always beautiful no matter what!
Deedee04: I loved the buttercream. It keeps my hair moisturized for almost a week but I dont care for the smell. It goes away but I prefer fruity or light refreshing smells
Juliza Benson: I use the curl cream and I love it in my hair. My hair loves thicker creams, but I can agree the smell is horrible!
Eve A. Bryan: I love the addition of others comments!! Nice! The second you said the price, all I could think was”You get what you pay for”. You get a lot of product but what are you really getting if the quality sucks? Stickin with my CurlSmith over here, thanks!
Kayla Ocasio: ily Bianca!! Thank you for being such an inspiration & a curly queen!!
Tia Davis: I think Bianca’s hair is just trained to be beautiful. The thing I tried was the deep conditioner, so many better options. If I don’t get moisture from a dc then what’s the point?!? I’m pretty sure I threw it away cause I can’t even find it. ♀️
Marie Cortez: I don’t think I’ve ever put something in my hair that literally did nothing! Putting my hair under plain ass water was more hydrating
Marcia Robinson: I can’t do heavy scents so I’ll pass on these. Thanks for the review. Still addicted to Curlsmith. Totally worth the money.
Pon Deck: Bianca, thanks for your honest reviews! Great idea to include subscribers' takes! Love ur channel! xo ➰
Mightyroze: I have type 4A curls and the cream & gel comb is my go to!! I love these products!
Alexandra Bukowska: I absolutely love the hair mask(deep conditioner) it's the curl definition one, the teal one, AMAZING!!
Alexis Ashley: Thank you for taking the time to review this product even though it wasn't your favorite. This definitely saved me some time and money!
Nici: Love these. Got the shampoo conditioner and leave in as a gift set from Target. Absolutely surprised me. Smell is okay
patoguadia: Huge bottles and great names!!! I absolutely love it when they give you a LOT! I'm lucky to have very long hair so I need to work a lot to shop for my hair "manetenance"
Bethany Reed: I actually love Emerge. It works great in my type 3 hair and my daughters type 4 hair. I love how much product they give and you can’t beat the price. Lipstick and Curl’s Jade Godbolt put me on to these products and I am so happy she did. As soon as I opened the bottles I recognized that it smelled like tulips. I actually like the smell of tulips so it didn’t bother me.
Sylvia w.: Yes! I was waiting for you to do a review on this line. I want to try this. I just need to put the gel in a better bottle lol
Jasmine Alexander: I have the mask, conditioner, leave in and gel and that smell doesn’t bother me at all
May Wonder: I've only tried the Emerge Butter Cream. I actually enjoyed the scent but thought the product was too thick. It often left that white residue on my hair. Because it's so thick, you really have to work it in or put it on with some water. I like the price so I would continue using it if I was on a budget. In terms of results, on my curly dry 2b/2c hair, it was just okay.
Lynelle L.: Too many companies jumping on the Curly Hair movement. How many products do we need. Thanks for the great review as usual. YOUR HAIR LOOKS BEAUTIFUL & FULL. Love your makeup skin is glowing!
Asia Wadley: "The Works" butter cream left a thick gray film all over my hair, and had my hubby complaining about the smell! A double NOOO for me!
Courtney Haas: I'm so glad you started posting videos about brands you didn't like, it helps me figure out what products i want to try as well, without spending a bunch of money on products that i'll end up hating
Alexis Moore: After watching this I’m definitely going to have to try the gel ive been looking for a lightweight gel for refreshing curls! Thank you for your honest opinions LOVE your videos!
Lady Dee: Appreciate your honesty on the products that you use.
Melanie Miller: Always optimistic! Love the subscribers comments vs yours! I wouldve given up in the shower.... lol glad you didn’t and ended up with good results.
Julie Bruce: Thank you for this! I love the style of video. And I like that you reviewed something when you didn’t necessarily like all of the line. This was really helpful
CurlyBoyChuck: Greeeeeat honest review, i do honest reviews too and sometimes it’s hard cause you don’t want to offend the brand but it’s better to keep it real than lie to your audience.
Doraida Perez: My daughter bought these and I was really curious about them. I ended up using the deep conditioner and totally hated the smell and I didn't get any kind of results. Disappointed.
Christina Molnar: I love your fresh haircut!!! I can’t wait until mine gets that long! I’m still doing your growth challenge!
Emmie: I tried the buttercream styler and it felt simultaneously drying and filmy. It was cute and I wanted to love it BUT it just didn't work for me.
Kayla Owens: I’ve been eyeing these products and have been waiting for you to review them! I’m definitely not sold to want to try them based on all those comments but a good affordable option if I’m ever in a bind and just need something. Honestly though too, I thought for sure they wouldn’t have good ingredients in them too, but I’m glad I was wrong about that
Shaia Moore: I love the smell, I don’t know why some people hated it ♀️
Cassie J: AH YAY!! I’ve been waiting for this review cause I never know if products have good ingredients unless they’re Bianca approved
T. H.: Thanks for the review Bianca! Probably a pass for me tho - grandma smell and sticky feeling products have not worked out for me in the past
Candalyn Pettigrew: I liked hearing the subscribers opinions too! Next time, could you ask the subscribers to review with their hair type also so we know how the product worked for wavy vs curly vs coily
Gigi Reddick: Great video and timely review. I just saw these products today at Target.....so now I have the scoop!!
Isabella Mitchell: I love the results! I see there are lots of negative comments but I would urge to try it for yourself and see if you like it or not. We already know it's cheap so don't go expecting high end requests. I will be trying
tremaine861: I have a rule: bigger packages/packaging means horrible products.
curly hair: Dear bianca u have good results cuz u have amazing curly hair it's like u can put anything to ur hair and ur hair will rock . Love ur honest opinion love u
Sonia Luckett: I used to watch your video because it was about hair but when the intro had to say it’s black owned I feel like that’s the reason you chose it and I believe that who you are and where you come from shouldn’t matter as long as the product is good. Take care hopefully when you return to being a curl friend I’ll watch again.
quantumwombat: Loved this style of review! The TEA!!! Thanks for the video, I've been wondering about these products for forever but hadn't seen anyone make a review yet!
May LaVerne Barnes: Thank you for this review, another one that's going to help save me a few dollars. I also again like to hear from your subscribers.
Carlene Clark: It's good to see you use new products that come out geared toward black people and truly give an honest answer to each products before we buy them. Since every one want to be part of the REAL group, (BLACK PEOPLE) we have to be very mindful, most companies are not truly trying to invest in our communities. ( Skin not your Kin folks). Thank you for your honesty. Keep up the Good Work.
Maranda Watson Pfeiffer: I absolutely LOVE the leave-in conditioner and cream together.
Sharese Nicole: the comments about the smell.. I agree.. when I reviewed this line the only product I enjoyed was the gel but the consistency of the gel is awful for that container it was just a hot mess
kendra payne: You are sooooo epically beautiful and I am OBSESSED with your hair. Thanks for all the bomb content. You are a pleasure to watch.
ashley778909: It has cute packaging and I love the size + price. However, the smell turned me away. I hate the strong floral smell yikes!
HollowedJes: I would still really like a FoB review from you, just because they're claiming that they went silicone-free in the last few years (spoilers: they didn't) on top of supposedly being sulfate-free, paraben-free, vegan and all those other buzzwords they know will catch a curlie's attention and cash, and I've heard of a few curlies who don't strictly adhere to the CG Method actually like it, and because I trust you to be honest about products and are the only curly influencer I watch, I would love to get your two cents! Also, would love a review of the Adwoa line of products being sold exclusively at Sephora as I noticed in their marketing for their products, they seem to really play up being the better alternative to DevaCurl without actually dropping DC's name, as well as being *the* line for black women as I believe it's a BWoB. (Of course it says it's for curly to coily hair, but it's marketed to black women which is cool.)
Rachel S.: Love that you’re such an honest yet comical YouTuber!! Too bad it has a floral smell. Totally no no for me.
Maori Brown: I reviewed the emerge styling products on my channel and I liked how each product smelled. There was nothing revolutionary but I enjoyed them. The only con was I would have airborne particles from the products.
Raizel C: I tried all of the products from this line bc it was new, affordable, and curly girl friendly. The smell doesn’t bother me- it’s just a generic clean smell. The shampoo and conditioner are trash. The deep conditioner is just okay. I really liked the leave in!!!! The gel is good, but I absolutely cannot stand the watery consistency especially because the packaging is a squeeze tube, they designed the gel packaging so poorly with the product itself because I spilled about a quarter of it from just trying to use it. I ended up pouring it into a pill bottle instead which is ridiculous! I’ve dm’d the brand and sent my opinion on the gel and they told me that they were working on changing the packaging but I haven’t seen anything yet.
Darryl Murdock: I love that you added our comments in the video, to give a full review on the products! ❤
Anna-Bo Emmanuel: I have only used the leave in which I love. Every head in my house is a different texture so I rarely find products that we all love and this is one.
tj8422: Your hair always looks amazing, but I must say...that 1st day gel look: OMG
