*New* Gabrielle Union Flawless Review On My Thick/Kinky 4C Hair - Is This 4C Approved Or Nah

Hey everyone thanks so much for tuning in today, as you saw in the title, i'm going to be reviewing gabrielle union's new product line flawless. I absolutely love doing product reviews if you guys have not already and you're new to my channel just know. I love reviewing this product, so i was really excited to get my hands on this one, even though i heard the first time she did these products they weren't so hot. I was so ready and eager to give it a try. So, as you guys can see, i am starting off with her hydrating detangling shampoo and i will say this: shampoo a little bit definitely went a long way. I didn't expect to actually run so much and to get so sudsy, but it did which i was really surprised about. So just know. If you are going to try this shampoo a little bit does go a long way. This shampoo is labeled as a detangling shampoo, and i will say i guess i was able to do some light detangling in my hair. Um. Definitely don't expect it to be like detangling compared to like, if you had like conditioner in your hair. I honestly think the only reason i was able to even slightly detangle is just because there's just so much suds in my hair and a lot of water, which is probably the reason why. But i will say nonetheless i was able to do a light detangle now upon rinsing, my hair out, my hair did feel pretty clean, but i will say i wouldn't consider it as hydrating, especially if you have a drier, quartz or texture like me, but it's definitely Not going to shift your hair down either and you guys will see, i always do a little small check after i shampoo my hair, because i don't want to smell any of the styling products that i use earlier in the week. If i smell those that means that my hair isn't quite as clean as i would like it to be. So that's why you guys will always see me stuff, my hair, a bit after i shampoo it. So next i went in with the three minute restoring conditioner. This was a nice thick and creamy conditioner and i absolutely loved it. I loved how it glided onto my hair and i absolutely loved how my hair felt when i was in and also when i rinse it out. So definitely a really nice conditioner won't say anything special, but it definitely does get the job done so once i was done with that, i went ahead and rinsed it out and went ahead and covered my head with my microfiber towel, bonnet, which i absolutely love. It'S a nice and quick way to get my hair slightly dry, slash damp, so i can go in with my styling products or whatever is next. So this is what my hair is looking like after i rinse out the conditioner and i've dried it ever so slightly with that microfiber towel, and now i'm going in with the repairing deep conditioning mask. So i'm not a huge fan of thick conditioners, and this conditioner was definitely very thick. I'M always concerned about how the product will absorb into my low porosity hair. You guys can see it's like it's literally just coating, my hair. Usually, when i'm applying my deep conditioners, there might be some coating, but you know it is getting absorbed, as i put it in so this just kind of glob on top. So what i did after i applied this. I just put on a couple caps over my hair with a bonnet just to help create some heat, and i did some chores around my apartment just to help create some heat so that it would get absorbed into my hair better. So this is what my hair looks like about an hour after applying that deep conditioning mask as you guys can see, i do still have a lot of products sitting in my hair, but i will say compared to originally when i put it in my hair did: Take up some of the product, so this is what my hair looks like after i take out that deep conditioner. I always look to make sure that my hair looks at least a lot darker and richer after i put in a deep conditioner and that's how i know that it did something for my hair. So i was a little disappointed when i saw the leave-in conditioner was a spray leave-in conditioner, because i'm just like um. If you know anything about type 4 hair, we need more than just a little spritz conditioner. But i was pleasantly surprised that the leave-in conditioner did have a nice creamy consistency. It wasn't like a super, i guess lightweight watery conditioner. It had a nice little texture to it. So i wasn't completely mad once i started applying it in my hair. So next i went in with their curl defining cream and as i pretty much guessed, my hair was not defined like at all. So so then, i decided to go on top of the curl defining cream, with some wet line gel in hopes that the gel would maybe help my curls define and then that just honestly turned out into one big flaky mess as you'll see towards the end of My video, so if you are thinking about purchasing this curl cream, to define your curls, especially for type 4 or maybe 4b or 4c, specifically it's not going to define anything. The only thing i will say that this curl cream did was make my hair super super soft. So, on the left side of my hair, i decided to do something different. I decided to go in first with that leave-in conditioner and then next i went in with coconut oil and then lastly, i went in with that curl defining cream. Again, i didn't expect too much of a difference in terms of curl definition, but i just want to see how the look and feel would compare to the other side of my hair. Now there is an oil that comes with this product line. I just chose not to purchase it just because i already have so many oils, which i also which i like, so i didn't really see a point in purchasing that oil specifically, but just know that it is an option. One thing i will say is that my hair does feel soft um, especially i'm feeling the back where it's dried, mostly my hair feels soft, obviously curl definition is where, like i said, on the right side of my hair, i did the leave-in conditioner, the curl, defining Cream and put wetland gel - and this is where we're at and then on this side i just decided to do the leave-in, with some oil and the curl defining cream. Obviously, there's no co-definition going on so um if you're a 4c girl and you looking for this to define your curls, it's not going to do that um. I think my hair feels soft, so i think i was probably would have been better off with a straight up twist out with these products. Maybe i'll try that i really don't know, but i will come back in a little bit once my hair dries and we will see what i'm working with. So i let my hair air dry for the rest of the day and then before i went to bed at night i went ahead and banded it. My hair wasn't completely dry when i banded it, so my hair still isn't quite dry the next morning, but it is mostly dry um. I showed it really quickly, but i just went ahead and put a light oil on my fingertips, as i was taking. My bands out just so my hair had a nice soft touch and hopefully a little bit of shine to it as well. So i'm just go ahead and take these bands out and shake my hair out from the roots and see what it looks like again. This side have the leave-in, conditioner, curling, curl, defining cream and the wet line gel, as you can see, there's build up so, if you're thinking about combining those products, don't the reason i added a wet line was because the curl defining cream was not doing any curl. Defining so i was like, let me put some wet line in as i put the wetland i honestly could already tell it was going to clump up, but i just kept putting it in anyway, hoping it would absorb and magically go away, but obviously not this side Of my hair is still pretty soft. This is the side where i use the leave-in conditioner coconut oil in the curling cream, and my hair is still pretty soft, so i definitely think if you're going to use these products you're best off just unless you have like a looser hair texture. Maybe that's who this curling cream would look for, but i don't think it's going to do anything for us like for b and 4c girls. To be honest with you guys, i think it's probably best for like a looser hair texture. Don'T expect that product to elongate and define your curls, because obviously it didn't do that. I think i would have been much better off doing a twist out, but i wanted to see the product would actually define my curls. So i'm not mad. This side of my hair is really soft. You guys so one thing i will say is that these products do make your hair feel really soft, so that i am very happy about this side doesn't feel quite as soft and plus there's just so much product build up, so definitely adding in an oil. I always say this, but adding it in oil just honestly makes such a difference. You guys my curls aren't even that much more defined for using the leave-in. I mean the wet line and the curl defining cream. There'S not much going on here. There'S not much going on. I really don't have anything bad to say about the pro well, i think i mean the shampoo, the conditioner deep conditioner. I liked. I don't have a bad thing to say my hair felt clean and it felt um moisturized afterwards. I would say that the shampoo isn't like super moisturizing. Now my hair still still felt pretty clean with using it. So i don't think it's a moisturizing shampoo, but it's not quite as harsh as other shampoos, but to be labeled as a moisturizing shampoo, i think, was a little bit of a reach, but still not that bad um. The leave-in conditioner, i think, did a pretty good job. I'M surprised i was intimidated when it was a spray box. I thought it was just gon na be like super light and misty and not do the job, but it's a nice creamy consistency. So i actually like the leave-in conditioner a lot. I would use it again. This curl, defining cream makes your hair soft and that's pretty much all it does. It will not define your curls, maybe if you're a type two or three girl it might, but i did not get any curl definition. It literally says it's good for wash and go's and for twist outs. Maybe if you guys are going to try this and you're a 4b 4c girl, try it in the twist out, but yeah i will say my hair is soft and softness most times is what i will be happy for softness and moisture. I'M gon na go wash this out of my hair because this isn't gon na work. Um thanks so much for tuning in you guys - and i will see you next time - bye, you
