Curly Hair Update! Affordable Haircare Finds From Target And A Journey Back To Natural Deodorant

Last round done with our at-home workout in the garage in the makeshift gym, it's doing it's doing the job, getting the job done, but every day after a workout on the way home, when we get in the car kyle says, do we need any groceries and do You want to go to target. The answer is always yes, and today's video is sponsored by target kyle said i didn't give him enough of a warning that i was filming, but i'm filming okay by the way the best purchase ever, is a a sit stand desk. So i'm just gon na roll this up, so i can show you guys what i got but also be in frame there you go before i proceed any further. I want to give another. Thank you to target for sponsoring today's video partnering with me. I absolutely love working with them and there's nothing. I love more than browsing the target beauty aisles, especially i don't know i mean i don't know how many of you watching have curly hair and have gone to target to explore the curly hair section. But honestly, they have really outdone themselves with the curly hair section. There are so many products that for someone like me, who is still experimenting and trying to get the most out of my curly wavy hair texture, i love trying new curly hair products. It has become a almost like a hobby. I guess i don't know. I just love it because i feel like like i mentioned. I haven't gotten like my ideal results as of yet i have my days where i have like amazing curly hair days, but it's never um consistent because i'm always trying new products. But i love just seeing what hair gels curl defining creams, co-washes shampoos conditioners, which ones work best on my hair and i just love going to target for that reason like i always leave with a ton of curly hair products, and that is definitely today's case. I really just went for one thing and i feel like that's how every target haul should start with. I went for one thing and i left with a bag filled with stuff. The item that i went for is the, as i am dandruff co-wash. This co-wash is everything: a co-wash is a great option for my fellow curly hair people out there. If you have dry hair, it's an alternative to a shampoo, um, they're kind of like a hybrid product where it's like a shampoo and conditioner in one, so it lightly. Cleanses, it doesn't set up like it doesn't foam like a typical shampoo um, but it hydrates at the same time. So if you have dry hair, it's not going to strip it of essential oils and moisture, and i have really been loving co-washes when i'm wearing my hair curly back to back to back. If i need a light cleansing on the scalp, my scalp does get really irritated. I talk about it all the time on my instagram stories and i did a whole series talking about products that really helped my scalp come back to a nice, healthy balance and i have to create this product because the second i started using this, i literally forgot. I had scalp issues. My scalp is so like. I just feel like it's. It'S balanced like a nice healthy, balanced scalp, whereas before it was so dry flaky itchy irritated like i felt the need to wash my hair and now i just look forward to washing my hair whenever i know i'm going to be using this co-wash from as i Am because it's so refreshing it has like a nice like minty sensation. Oh i love it. So this is what i technically went for, because i am going to wear my hair curly again today and i wanted to use my co-wash. I was all out. Luckily, uh target carries it so um i've stocked back up on this and i picked up a few other curly items, but i think what i'm gon na do because i did just come back from a workout and i look a little. You know a little sweaty. I i technically need to hop in the shower, so i am gon na hop in the shower and use a few other of my curly hair items that i purchased then share my haul. With all of you, i will tell you i am going to use this carol's daughter, goddess strength, fortifying conditioner, also in the shower, because even if i use a co wash, i still use the conditioner because i like to brush my hair in the shower. So i'm going to use this item, i'm going to go through everything else in here. Oh actually, actually i'm also going to use this aztec secret, indian healing clay on my pits on my underarms, because i am trying to get back into natural deodorant. I go on and off with natural deodorant all the time, and everyone has said to use this first on your underarms as a mask to help detoxify and then use a natural deodorant. So while i was browsing the aisles i saw this mega babe deodorant no aluminum. No parabens, i got the scent rosy pits. I don't know if this is a natural deodorant, but either way i'm going to detoxify first shower uh. Do my hair with all you guys, use this deodorant and then we'll go through this haul, because it's a lot. Okay, like i said, bag full, when i meant to go for just one thing: i'm gon na detox, my pits apple, cider, vinegar. I don't know if it's supposed to be this watery. I think i need to add more of the powder. This is literally how it goes for me making pancakes. You know, you add like a little bit and you add too much liquid, it's too watery, so you have to add more pancake mix, but then it's too thick, so you have to add more water. That'S how i'm feeling right now, i'm detoxing my pits. It looks sexy, okay, see here's the issue. Now i don't know what to do with my arms and i feel like i have to stay like this: the entire time and just air them out, for how long does it stay on here? Five to ten minutes, we'll do five minutes and then i also have to scrub. Do a deep body scrub because i decided to experiment with a self tanner this weekend and i think i have like some eczema breakouts dermatitis like little patches of dry skin that the tanner didn't attach to so i look a little bit like a dalmatian. Someone just scrub to try and get the rest of the self tanner off, so um yeah i'll check in with you guys after the shower. Let'S try this mega babe daily deodorant. It smells good. I like it, but let's see if the detox works. I don't know we'll report back later. Okay, if you haven't gotten into these maybelline lift glosses, they are amazing. I already have the color topaz and moon, and then this one's just like a great everyday gloss where you kind of want a glossy effect. That'S plumping moisturizing, but not like a lip balm. It doesn't add any color. It'S just like a really great everyday lip balm for, like a no makeup makeup. Look i'm just gon na do my makeup, because, with this tan that's coming off my body, i needed some sort of like color balance between my face and my body, but anyway, i'm gon na do my hair. Now this carol's daughter, goddess strength, fortifying conditioner wow. This felt amazing in my hair it created the most perfect slip, sometimes i'll use a conditioner and honestly, my my hair still feels dry afterwards, but this left my hair feeling silky to the touch it didn't tangle at all. Again, i brush my hair in the shower, so i can get right into styling out of the shower. So i'm going to i'm going to use some staple items that i always pick up over and over again at target and then share the new items in the hall, along with some other beauty items. But i figured since my hair takes so long to dry. We can style it first then chit chat, you know just look at the definition. Usually, when i come out of the shower, my hair looks not straight, but just you don't see the curl and weight pattern until i start adding styling products, and you can already see it wanting to naturally curl just from that fortifying conditioner, which is amazing. So i am gon na do kind of like my quick and lazy curly hair routine, which requires just mixing a few products. This is my absolute favorite product right now and i love seeing it in the curly hair section at target. It'S the resource, curls curl, defining cream and when i'm being super quick with my hair, i do a glob of the curl defining cream and then a pinch of the light hold gel, also from riesl's curls. It'S like a little pinch like that mix them together, and then i rake it through my hair first and then end with the prayer hands technique so raking it through, because i have a lot of hair and, at the very end, i'll do the prayer hands like This also, how convenient is this top? It'S a it's like towel material like a terry cloth. So usually, whenever i'm doing my hair, i'm wearing my spa wrap, but the spa wrap got covered in the clay mask, so i had to throw it in the wash. If not, i would be wearing it to catch any excess product or any water dripping from my hair when i'm styling it curly and a little trick to not get your hair within a product in it onto your skin, which can also lead to breakouts. Is i pin back the hair, i'm not working on that already has product in it so that it doesn't land or rest on my face, while i'm working on the other sections - and i know it looks like i'm using a lot of product, that's because i have A lot of hair, okay use less if you have less hair than me, also realizing that this one is almost empty. Just another excuse to go back to target tomorrow. Anybody else with natural curly hair just find themselves constantly adjusting their hair when they see themselves like on camera or a photo, because i feel like with my hair, i'm like constantly messing with it, but right now it looks good. So let's do this haul. Before my hair goes rogue on me, um, okay, so, like i mentioned, the curly hair section at target, is my absolute favorite to browse right now, because i am just loving, discovering new products that work for my hair, like this carol's daughter, goddess strength, fortifying conditioner. Honestly, i keep thinking it's a deep conditioner or a mask because of the way it left my hair feeling and on here it says one use equals 15 times stronger, hair and my hair just to the touch feels so soft and like soft and smooth, whereas my Natural hair texture is very gritty and dry, so i'm just overall really impressed with that product. Some other curly hair discoveries, also from as i am this - is the restore and repair jamaican black, castor oil water. So again, if you have natural, curly, wavy hair, you know that on day, two or three, when you're trying to refresh your natural curls in waves, it's best to just re-wet the hair and not fully wash it even though you might be tempted to wash it. I have learned if i do want to fully wet my hair i'll, go in the shower and wet it and go back in with a conditioner, so i can brush it and detangle, but i refrain from shampooing unless i'm going to be using the co-wash. That'S when i use the co-wash, if i feel like i need it, maybe the day before i tried a new curly hair product and it just did not work with my hair and i need to wash it out i'll use the co-wash. I won't do a deep clarifying or any shampoo that might strip my hair of its essential, moisture and oils, but this caught my eye because i wanted a way to right now. I use like a continuous spray bottle, like a mist just like just regular water, and i've heard around the block that california, water isn't the best for our skin and our hair. So i saw this and i'm like well, this is cool. It has jamaican black, castor oil, vitamin c and vitamin e, so it's essentially water with some added benefits, especially for a naturally curly wavy textured, dry, hair type, aka me and i'm really excited to use it, and even when i'm styling my hair, my hair does style Better, when it's more towards the wet side, so oftentimes when i'm shooting tutorials, my hair will start to dry and i'm like. Oh no, i need to re-wet it, and this is a great option. So super amped on this discovery, also speaking of shampoos, the shea moisture, manuka, honey and yogurt hydrate and repair shampoo. So, even though i love my co-washes, i do need a shampoo to lightly clarify, after several days of wearing my hair, natural and all that product build up. But i have learned that i don't need a shampoo that is going to completely strip my hair of all its moisture, so i'm a little more careful about which shampoos i use in my hair nowadays and this one says it cleanses and restores extremely dry brittle hair. Overall, just like the way it looked it caught my attention. I was like if i'm gon na use a shampoo to clarify. I want my hair to not feel so dry afterwards, that's usually the case in the shower so great option. For when i want to deep cleanse my hair uh this one, i got just to show you guys, because you guys know i love my gua facial massages and you can now pick up a tool at target. So this is the plum. Beauty rose, quartz, sculpting stone. If you want a tutorial on how i wash out every morning i'll link it up here, i truly believe it's. The reason my face is a little more structured and defined these days, and it really makes me look awake in the morning. So 10 10 recommend, if you can incorporate it into your routine, somehow some way i am fully in support of it boots ingredients. I just love the packaging on these. I wanted to try something different, i'm really in the market for some new skincare i've been using a lot of the same products for a long time now. So this is the retinol serum. It says what is it? I love that it has all the info on the packaging. It says containing retinol a form of vitamin a this serum helps skin feel more elastic. What is it good for skin tone? Appearance? Oh skin tone appears more even helps to improve skin elasticity. I love using a retinol, i'm completely out of all my retinols right now, so this was a great find and then they also had a hyaluronic acid, and now that i've learned how to better use a hyaluronic acid in my routine, which is one make sure your Skin is damp when you're, applying a hyaluronic acid, don't apply to dry skin and two go in with a moisturizer afterwards to fully utilize that hyaluronic acid bringing in moisture to your skin. If not, it's just going to dry out your skin because it like pulls the moisture from your skin versus like the moisturizer, that's supposed to like pull in to add to the skin. So those are my two tips for incorporating a hyaluronic acid, jason, woo hot fluff. Lipstick honestly, the name just got me hot fluff makes me think of meek and boomer. Also, i really love lipstick packaging. That is the same color as the actual lipstick, because it makes it so much easier for me to find what i'm looking for when i'm going through my lipstick drawer. So look at that and it's matte, so pretty i've never tried anything from jason wu. Let me just swatch it wow that is so soft and creamy. Look at that pigment. I needed some deeper tones. Okay, i know i've been in a nude lipstick, almost like it's been nude or nothing or lip liner gloss like that. Maybe one i just mentioned so getting a deeper plum. Lipstick was definitely a must for me, and that is everything that is my beauty. Haul, mainly again got caught up in the curly hair section, but also, as i was heading out, this is unrelated to beauty, but more so feminine hygiene, feminine care um. I wanted to bring this up, because i was so fascinated that so many of you, when i posted on instagram, if you would spend if you were willing to spend more money on uh feminine hygiene products that are more expensive. If you know they're better for your overall health and well-being versus going for the cheaper option - and so many of you said yes, but not only that so many of you dm'd me saying that you prefer a menstrual cup and when i was at target those caught. My eye, because there was a whole row of them on top of the tampons, like all the you know where everything is, there was a whole row and i was i was really intrigued like i almost got one, but i thought i should go home and do Some research and see like which one's the best, because they had so many options, and that was the first time i have ever seen that in store. So it was really exciting. It piqued my interest and after receiving i could you know i was like hundreds of dms from um all of you saying that you love a menstrual cup because it's environmentally friendly, it saves money because it's reusable and just overall, like the amount of good things. I read about menstrual cups from you guys made me, go wait. I'M gon na go back to target and pick one up, but for now i bought these um organic tampons from the honeypot. I really love the name: the honeypot company, one percent, organic super tampons, unscented, organic cotton with bioplastic, applicator, chlorine, free pesticides, free fragrance free and also on the back. It says made by humans with vaginas for humans with vaginas sold. Oh hey guys. I am just wrapping up editing the vlog and i wanted to end it with an update on how the underarm detox went. I'M not gon na lie. I still get a little stinky and that's okay. I was told that it would take a couple times. It'S not something that you do and then boom next day you no longer smell. It takes your body a while to adjust. I think it's like up to three weeks, and it's been, i would say, like it's been about a week or so now and i do absolutely love this mega babe deodorant. I cannot say enough good things about it. It smells so good confirmed. It is a clean deodorant, i'm gon na finish it, but i am really interested in looking for some other options: different scents, different wear, different formulas, i've seen rollerballs i've seen sprays, i've seen so many variations when it comes to deodorants that are clean and also natural Options, so i definitely want to explore it more and continue on this journey of finding one that works for me previously. When i tried natural deodorants, i just didn't follow good. I don't want to say good hygiene proper protocol for preventing underarm irritation, so i would shave and then immediately rub in i got carried away there immediately rubbing a deodorant which is not good if you've just shaved. You should never go in and immediately um rub something into an area, that's freshly shaved, so it causes a lot of irritation. Um. I feel like now i'm a little better off. I do laser my underarms, so there's definitely a lot less irritation or less chance of irritation, so i'm open again to a solid but again just want to explore so many options. I'Ve obviously visited target multiple times since this last time i went and shopped, like i said, the beginning of the video it's common for kyle, to ask me if i want to go to target on our way home from our workout and i'm surprised every time i Go back, they have even more options; it just keeps getting better and better and better. So i'm not too worried about it, especially because i do love the way this one smells. It'S called rosie pits and i cannot get enough of it, especially i i need you guys input on this. If you shower at night, which is like my new favorite thing, i love showering right before bed. I know don't judge me if you are a person that always showers before bed. I didn't used to do it all the time because i usually shower in the morning after a workout, so yeah i don't know anyway, it's been really hot here in los angeles. So i feel the need to shower at the end of the day, in order to feel clean and ready for bed, and i love using a deodorant like this. It just smells really good before bed versus something like an antiperspirant antiperspirant antiper anti antiperspirant antiperspirant, because if i'm going to bed, i don't feel like. I need anything heavy duty because i'm not going to be sweating. But i want to know first of all do all of you take a shower before bed and second question: if you do, do you apply a deodorant, or do you wait until the morning, i'm very like genuinely curious, because i still feel the need to apply something Because, if not, i feel, like i wake up smelly or i'm more likely to just forget, to apply a deodorant, and then i get in a workout and it's no bueno overall conclusion: um after it's been a month, i'm gon na try the detox mask again. I think someone told me to do up to three times to keep up with it, so i am going to try it again after it's been a month. I don't want to overdo it. I don't know if you can overdo it, but i'm going to wait a month um to do that detox and continue shopping around, and i think that's everything i wanted. Oh actually, the lip which i'm sure you're going to ask about is that jason wu lipstick. I picked up, i really love the color got me thinking. Why haven't i been wearing both lips, where in fact i mean? Maybe it's because it's still 90 degrees here in los angeles, but it's definitely putting me in the fall mood and now i feel like i need to shop around for some new fall lip colors. Let me know your absolute favorites that you have personally picked up from target, because i want to go and check them out, because all of mine are probably expired that are currently in my lipstick collection. Since it's been a hot minute since i've worn a bold lip. So leave me your recommendations, plum deep reds, i'm here for it. I hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you again to target for sponsoring it love working with you guys, and i can't wait to go back to shop some more and share my friends with all of you. So until the next one you
