Okay, it's going through great; actually, okay, hey I'm Ashley hi, i'm Kimani, hey i'm destiny and i'm asia, and today we're trying weird tools for natural hair. This is going to be terrible. I don't know if it's gon na be terrible, but I am scared snappy. It'S a long, lasting tangle, free premium, hair ties your hair won't get table than this. When you take it out, you can just unsnap it like, like. I have my hair up right now with one yeah and it's always a struggle yeah. I always like it's caught in then you guys, I don't know about you, but when I take the scrunchie out of my hair, there's always a little bit of a wad of hair on the spreadsheet. So I would like to keep that little bitty wad in my head. I don't think one is gon na work for me. No, do I love a good pun? Oh oh, if this works, I just need a little work, but that's not snappy's fault. Okay. I like this, but now the true test topping this bad boy off: okay, that's pretty nice! Oh well; okay, no hair on the snappy! Obviously that didn't feel like much different than using a hair tie but notice. I have hair on this yeah after using this. A few times, I wonder if I would have any yeah well, I think this is useful because my hair didn't get caught in it. It was super easy to take out yeah. Does this break I'm broke, let's do better come on. Please happy snapped! Oh boy, I see water come in the og, hello, the coil brush natural hair, styling tool, 100 %, silicone fingertip hair brush weight. Fingertip, you put it on your finger, this finger inclusive. I have chunky fingers. Okay, okay, hold on wait. Do you feel it for what you like it it's slightly? I would use this if I was going to two strand twist, my hair wait. Imagine if I had like a whole hand like this and I would be able to just go like yeah. I copy right back. It just gives me a few extra like fingertips. Almost a lot of people do detangle with their fingers yeah, and I just feel like this makes that process so much easier. If you have a little bit of product or water on your hand and they just kind of like slip off yeah, it's like that's kind of inconvenient. Okay push through a little finger, detanglers all right! What'S our last product, oh, you have answered my prayers. I don't know if this is, but I already kind of want to keep it. You know many combs I go through like every other month, the bristles break off constantly in the shower. This is cool cuz. It fans out, but I'm kind of trying to figure out. Why, like what's the like technology or science behind this, maybe it stops it from snagging as much because, like it doesn't necessarily pull from your hair. I should've brought my spray, see this blob girl some getting this really wet like shower wet yeah. No, oh! No! Ok! It'S going through great, actually yeah. I wouldn't I wouldn't pay a ton of money for this only because it gives very similar results to something. That'S not fancy. I will say like this, would speed up my wash day process. Definitely I like the concept of like a silicone finger type deal that brush has not convinced me yet this is my. I don't know you're gon na think that my winner and I am so excited about using this on my next wash day. My winners is the og yeah. This is gon na upgrade my wash day for sure anything for my curls I'll. Do it for the car I'll, do it for the curl. You
Comments
freeagent678: Why do you guys never give those with curly hair spray bottles? That lil water dish is barely doing anything to wet the hair
Meredith M. Garza: I hope they get to keep the products they liked, I always wonder what happens to the products after the videos.
Hannah Mussette: I’ve been using Snappees for 4 years and I love them! Swirly Curly now has scrunchies as week that are thicker than the Snappees if you experience the Snappee breaking. Use my promo code HANNAH for 20% off!
MissLolaBunny: When she said I shoulda brought my spray bottle and sis was like...Wait. Best moment of the video lol
rh88: Hahaha non curly haired people get so grossed out when they see the ball of hair on my elastic... But sorry, never have I used an elastic that didn't end up with a ball of hair on it hahah
Tatiana C: I have the brush and it makes detangling a lot easier. I just think their hair wasn't wet enough. Plus I learned it it better to use it vertically then horizontally when brushing. My curls have been more defined
Alex Steele: Ya’ll didn’t read the instructions on those brushes lol. They came with a rod in which you place on either line 1 or like 2 for the grade of your hair. You then rake the bottom of your hair vertically and move up until it’s all Detangled. Once all detangled, you can brush horizontally. It works great on my 4B/4C hair and my daughters 4C hair. Try it again!
lfutrell82: The snappees look interesting, but not for 38.99.
Melticia Brown: They needed: 1. A spray/mist bottle 2. A leave in conditioner and 3. To READ THE INSTRUCTIONS♀️. I’ve had my Snappees for almost 5 years and they have NEVER pulled my hair out (4B&C). I have a different version of the detangling brush and your hair needs to be sopping wet, and loaded with conditioner or oil to be truly effective with detangling.
Ange N.O.: I CRINGED when they used the EZ Detangler without products!! Aaaaggghhhhh!!! The brush is soooooooo amazing but your hair needs to be soaking wet and have product in it. I love that brush!!
Caitlin Moore: Where's the 4c girls. We all know a product is only worth if it's 4c approved so...pass
Blurryink: Those snappy hair ties seem cool and I want it, I'm going to hope and say the other girl got a faulty one
Nerdy Suburban Farmer: I have used Snappee’s for about a year and it’s never pulled my natural hair out. It did lose it’s elasticity quicker than an elastic band tho.
Nikki Franklin: Please do more of these and continue to have multiple hair types represented for the same products. Our community NEEDS this!!!!
Luciana T: when they ask how I get such muscles, I say: *”my hair”*
Daia: Gurl they using the brush wrong ♀️♀️ The box says to use the brush vertically instead of horizontally for the best results. Also there's another piece that's supposed to come with it to spread the rows of teeth out which makes it way easier to use the brush. Lol just had to share my two cents before they rule out the brush (though I do know it doesn't work for certain textures). Hope that info helps somebody ♀️
elegant garbage: Honestly, I love the way the natural hair looks. I think it gives off its own unique style, but also it's unifying to African American women to see others with natural hair. (But idk cuz I'm white lol) Also I applaud the women who have to put in that much effort into their hair, I just put it up and it's done. So idk why I'm seeing all these comments about how "white people's" hair is hard to work with and that they don't need/deserve the recognition...I'd like to see those people try to take care of that kind of different textured hair for more than a week. Also I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my little rant. If I did I can change this or take it down.
Mila Yarbrough: This is so great and insightful! I love watching others test products, so I don’t have to potentially waste any money. Ashley was my favorite She’s so funny, and I love how she came prepared with her own spray bottle! YAS SIS!
IeatyellowSNO: Love this. I wanted some of these products and it's cool to see y'all try them.
Chamlee Brown: The brush works well if you follow the directions. You’re supposed to comb the hair vertically to help loosen the tangles and then you turn it horizontally and work from the ends to the roots
trina aiken: the last brush I have and it is absolutely my favorite brush. My hair got too thick to use the Denman brush. I've had the EZ detangler for like a month and it is so nice. I love it.
les mercredis on porte du rose: The OG Coil Brush looks like the thing I use to clean my cat's teeth with
ChulkeaVous: My hairdresser used the brush on my 4c hair lady week. So amazing I bought one for myself!
Sasha Hatchell: That brush is amazing once you get the hang of it. Took me 2 washes and I am hooked on it.
Nikki Franklin: Thank you for this. I really didn’t want to waste my money on that brush and the girl with hair like mine hated it. I WILL be buying that finger detangler though. I had the same idea months ago but somebody beat me to it!!
#dorich: Their hair looks beautiful,love natural curly hair
Ebony Brown: I love my ez detangler. It definitely cuts down my detangling time. I got mine off Amazon and it came with the bar for the back.
Adwoa Mk: I hate when I see my hair wrapped around my hairband, so I would definitely check out the snappy, and the og would be great for detangling although a little awkward at first.
queer_panda: I just bought a new hairbrush at target today, all I kept thinking was how long before my hair breaks this brush!
Nakita Milledge: Do any of these work on 4C hair, because I’m in desperate need.
BB11249: The detangle brush. From the bottom up ladies, I love this this
Grace Osas: The fact that I know about all these products ♀️ I really got into natural hair YouTube in 2019
Liz S: all i gotta say is props to having natural hair like these women. i just got thick coarse hair but hoe these women manage to make their look good and make it work is beyond me.
Jhaney Hamlett: i have that brush and it is a magic brush. detangles my hair faster than any brush or comb i’ve ever used, even after box braids/cornrows it cuts the time way down which iykyk that it takes forever to comb through after braids. them trying to use it on dry hair definitely doesn’t give it a fair shot (i don’t use any brush or comb on dry hair). i gave my sister one and she loves it too (it comes with an attachment piece, she keeps hers on and i don’t). i was skeptical cause you don’t know how a product that’s trending will really work but its a must have for me now. if you think that it’s weird or that it looks cheap it’s definitely worth trying
NailahBisou: No 4C naturals in this video (pretends not to be hurt)
Rima A: It pissed me off that they weren’t given spray bottles lol I feel like they all would’ve liked the detangler brush if their hair was properly wet while using it
Ebony Ryer: I love the ez detangler brush.you have to use it in wet hair and start from the ends up
Ashley Lamar: I need someone who has 4C to try these products!!! Let’s be honest
itss myaa: i have the ez brush.....i had for about 4 months..... and it works. the dentangle time has decreased so much and i got 4c hair
QUICKSNAPCAPTUREDAT: I gave in to the Instagram-Ad-Peer-Pressure and bought myself one of those EZ Detangler brushes (on Amazon lol) it works wonders
1456 Juju: i think you have to vertically brush your hair with the brush first at the ends and then turn it normally and brush it like that i hope this helps
Tia LovesSeven: I have that brush in black. It says 4C but it’s definitely a lie lol but works on my daughters curl pattern wonderfully
Nadia Brown: See naturals know to detangle using a conditioner with slip I didn’t see no conditioner when they were testing that brush.
Not in use Arrow: Bro everyone with curly hair deserves a special brush that will glide through their hair with no problem
SpoiledCurlyGurl: I completely disliked that EZ detangler. It did not work well for my hair or my daughters and I felt it snagged and didn't detangler well. I went back to my $6 detangling brush from Sally's. I have that brush to my 5 yr old to brush her rocking horse with it .
Bianca Johnson: To the girl who said she goes through so many brushes, she needs the denman brush. I bought mine like 7 or 8 yrs ago when I first went natural. I have never needed a replacement
LeyRoyaltyTopics: *Natural Hair Goals. Loving all the Melanin*✨
Cholita 510: It gives me anxiety that none of then used conditioner while testing those products >.>
Utopia K.: I have 4c hair -the struggle is real
Asha Lu: I would have liked to have seen more diversity in hair texture but cool video.
Sarah Thomas: I have never been so jealous. Those beautiful curls and I just have me some boring straight white girl hair
Lauren O: A quick shout out to the ladies talking about my hair while I was out shopping today!
Andre'a Condol: The true test is getting someone with 4c hair to try it
chloe michaela: The brush they used to detangle is $11.99 but those are same brushes used on horses and you can get them for $5
Tiara Averhart: That brush works amazing I cut down my wash day by hours
Sydney Sebastian: I need those brushes, and that hair tie. All of it please.
theletterafterj: Can y’all just go ahead and make a natural hair channel
Chyanne Maxey: Where are my 4c sisters at for a his video???
Chubby Weeb: I always wanted one of those brushes, but after seeing it in action, it doesn't look like all that :(
Janet Wood: *These girls are too young, they were probably not even born yet. But, way back in the late 80's/early 90's, spiral perms were the rage! Women of all ethnicities would get their hair permed Everyone wanted curly hair! Plus, they would tease, gel and hair spray their bangs until they stood straight up except for the tips which were combed slightly to the side! Crazy! We all thought that was cool!*
ecstaticblues: That brush actually a good one. You can’t judge it using a bowl of water. Read the instructions next time. There’s a piece to add for your needs. I’ve learned to use it with out the bar, squeezing or releasing as needed. Try again. Or maybe take it home, use in your regimen (watch some videos) and then give a real review.
nerdgurl402: You guys used the brush from Amazon wrong. You run it through vertically, not horizontally. There’s also a plastic attachment that comes with the brush the you adhere to the back of it either towards the top or bottom depending on the length of your hair that they did not give you or you didn’t put on.
maya m: They're all so beautiful but Destinee is just
With Peace & Love: using a wet brush in the shower when you have conditioner in your hair is the best
Mimi's Craft: The hair tye looks cool.I would never pay 38 bucks and some change for a hair tye, but it looks like it may work.
FallnAngel07: Love the snappee. Now it's sold in packs of 5
HopelessAndFluffy: That hair tie test needed more time.
Trina McGee: I'm surprised they didn't use the actual Felicia Leatherwood brush. There's only one piece and it actually works.
Cashmera Huddleston: Only product I have is the EZ detangler brush and I love it
WordHermit3t Investigate4Yourself: That brush works better with attachment you stick on back of brush to make wider and apply more pressure to massage your scalp. I just got it last week without attachment like you it is was ok.
Quiet in the Back: $38.99 for a 4 pack of elastics?! 0.0
scorpleeon: That ez detangler brush was the worst thing I’ve used on my hair. ever.
rocklesson86: You guys are wrong for not showing 4C and beyond hair.
Sian Day: I have that brush and it’s amazing
phenominiallmusic: Im loving all the different representations of texture. Not all black women have the same hair type.
sillygoose: “I see water coming” the struggle is real
Olivia Oleros: I have one of those brushes lol they are really nice
carmel X: those brushes have a clicky thing that comes so you can customise it to work with your hair thats what the holes are for i think you accidentaly through them away
Zatoya Childs: "I should have bought my spray bottle" *Pause "GIRL"
Christina: Happy Black History Month from Buzzfeed. LOL
ivy: How did i already know there were gonna be no 4c girls
Jaime N: The EZ style brush didnt have the piece in the back that keeps it together thats why it kept separating I have the same brush
Myesha-Tiara: Ok do it again with 4chair and a water bottle other than that i love the video
Canah McNeal: Snapees are the TRUTH. Just snap them together to make the tie as big or small as you need. I never had hair come out with a snapee
Lioness K: Oof I’m glad they did a review on that brush before I got it
Destiny Sirivong: Ashley & Destinee were hilarious!
Alexandria Quillen: Ok I like the finger thingies. Make it a glove that'll stay on my hand (I do a lot of finger detangling), and my a** will be holding up a SOLD sign.
Shakila Muhammad: I think im 4D when my hairs wet. We need more hair types because not everyone have curles
llExcusesll: I wanna buy the Felicia brush but I’m still not sure. I’m trynna figure out which is the best for de tangling
Kezia Hatten: The snap thing After a few hours of humidity, my hair would be tangle in that
Ashley Moore: They didn't do those brushes justice. It answered my prayers
Having Tea With the Devil: I don’t know what my hair texture is (i meant to find out when i did the big chop) however, i know my hair texture is none of these lol. I wish my hair was curly like theirs.
Aaliyah: The hair not being wet made me cringe but there are probably little to no percentage of people who can brush they natural hair like that
broken AudioReact: Kind of wished they had 4c girls
Audrey B: Can we get videos with 4b-4c hair PLEASE
Marianne Mae: Can i just say Asia is gorgeous
Olivia Drew: get y’all a felicia leatherwood if you didn’t like the brush in the video. i have one and my stylist has one
Zoe Hartsock: Need more of these
kiki B.: Sigh...If I knew the comment section would be filled with extreme ignorance I wouldn’t have clicked.
MoonHoney Mami: Damn there should be a link to the products in the description box.
