#naturalhair #washandgo #type4hair

Foreign welcome back to the channel it's Ray. If you're new here welcome today, I am going to be doing a wash and go and I'm using a combo from one of my subscribers. So they wanted me to try the KC jail. Essence, moisturizing gel with Jamaican black, castor oil in it. That looks like this. I'Ve never used this before they told me it's one of their favorites and that I needed to try it, so I did pick it up. I think I showed you guys this in my after Black Friday haul, where I picked this up when Sally's was having their um 50 no either. I got this on there 4 for 20 sale or either yeah. I think I got this on their four for 20 sale, but this was already around five dollars, so I just tacked this on. So I think that was during my Black Friday haul. I showed you guys this. They said that it works with pretty much any leave-in, but they like to use it with the curl origin or um. I forgot the other leave-in, but anyway um. I chose to use the curl origin so we're gon na see. I haven't used this for a while. It'S almost gone, I want to go ahead and get it used up, so I have in my hair already I put it in in the shower um the curl origin, curl hydrating, leave-in conditioner from their moisture Rich line. It has hibiscus and coconut and Argan oils in it. So it looks like this and I like this leave-in conditioner I've used it before, so I'm going to go ahead and get it used up, like I said it's already in my hair, so I'm going to go ahead and start to apply the gel. Now this gel is supposed to be alcohol free for mildehyde, free free of t-e-a-t-e-a. Is that ingredient? That'S in the Eco Styler, it's in other gels as well, but it became well known from Eco style when people started having headaches and eye irritation and stuff like that, people were saying that it was um because of the tea, so it doesn't have any tea in It or silicones and stuff like that so anyway, it basically says to add to wet hair after using their conditioner and, to be honest, I do have the KC care care, curl Essence line and I didn't even think to use it. I just want to use the shampoo that I already had downstairs in my bathroom and then I deep conditioned with a new deep conditioner that I'll be doing a review on pretty soon and then I went in with this. So I'm not using anything from the same line, but anyway, this is what the gel looks like the consistency of it. It has a regular gel consistency. Oh, it feels very smooth so yeah the the consistency I like, and it just has a lot a really light scent. You can't even hardly smell anything. At least I can't so anyway, like I said the leave-in is already in my hair. So this is what my hair um is looking like with just the leave-in in it, and we are going to go ahead and just start applying the gel and, like I said they said these two well, they said origin leave-in. So this is the one that I have they didn't really specify which leave-in this is the one that I'm going to use and I'm hoping this is the one that they're talking about so anyway. I'M just gon na go ahead and add some to my hair. So I got a little bit out if you can see and to rub it on my hair. Now they said you can be heavy-handed with this. It still won't flake, but I'm going to try not to be too heavy-handed with it. Just because I don't want to chance it so now foreign, looking pretty good, I will say that the texture is smooth. It reminds me of, I believe it was the pattern that was real, smooth like this and then also um. What'S it they are Jackie's. That was real smooth, but just has a really smooth texture and you feel like it's not going to give you a lot of hold. It feels kind of light on the hair. In my opinion, it feels kind of light on the hair, but so does the um African Pride. The African Pride feels light on the hair, but then, once that stuff dries, your hair has a lot of holes. So you used to kind of be able to tell by that texture, whether or not someone's gon na have a whole lot of hole, but now a days you can't really tell how much hole the product is going to have just by how it feels. Initially, on your hair, at least that's what I have found, because some things have surprised me foreign, so it looks like it's defining it pretty well, um, I'm hoping I won't need to go get any water. I might have to go. Get my spray bottle. Hands are wanting to dry out a little bit foreign guys. I know y'all saying she back in that same position. So if you saw any of my previous videos from this year, you probably saw that where my desk was kind of caddy Corner kind of facing the door and there was a tree back there. I was trying that out for a minute, because I wanted to kind of face the window for natural lighting and I had a hole to do. My lights went out um. I finally got them back on and working it was. It was a mess, but anyway I found that that direction where I had to place the lights didn't brighten up the room. A lot I felt like it looked kind of dark, even though I was facing the window, it felt dark behind me and I even put one light behind me um to try to brighten it up in one light in front of me - and I don't know, I Still didn't quite care for the static of it or the in the brightness of it, so I just went on and moved it back the way I had it and I might try it again, but I might try to move it around again, but there's not a Whole lot of ways that I can move my office around without moving the big furniture like moving this on a different wall which, who wants to do that? Moving that big, all wooden shelf on a on a different wall? Who wants to do that? So I was trying to change things around without having to move those two big pieces and then my other little shelf over there. That has my product on it, it's smaller, but I would still need to take all the products off of that to move in. If I wanted to - and so it was just a headache, so I just moved everything back - I don't know, but I feel like if it wasn't set up like this, I probably could have a lot more space to utilize. I don't know anyway. I just wanted to let y'all know that I was kind of just playing around y'all, probably figured it out, but I was just kind of fit playing around and then I just decided to put it back where it was so. I could hit the ground running when I started making my videos again so so far it looks like these products are mixing. Well together, it doesn't look like I have a lot sitting on my hair, a lot of white or anything like that. So that's a good thing, so I'm hoping that means I won't get flaky, but as you can see that leave-in soaks in pretty good anyway, so you don't see a whole lot of hair white on my hair anyway, just from the leave-in. So that's great okay, guys! So you see what I'm doing I'm gon na just continue to do this around my head and I'll be back when it's all applied. Okay guys. So I got it all applied and I will say that my hair feels very light. The hold feels light, but I'm trusting that it's going to give me what I need and it does look a little frizzy too we're gon na see how that works out too, because again it may do more than I think um. Oh, let me show you so I used if you can see I'm about right here, a little bit deeper on this side, so I'm gon na say I use a good half of it at least a good little okay, so I'm gon na say I use a Little more than a third of it, so we'll see how much I have left, but I'm gon na sit under the dryer, because I don't want it to freeze out any more than it is already and I'll come back and tell you what I think about it. I will say that I did like I said. I used a different shampoo with a with a conditioner and I'll explain all that when I get back so that could the way that I shampooed condition and deep condition could have some effect on how my hair is looking as far as the frizz and stuff like That so we'll see, but yeah guys stay tuned for the dry results I'll be back okay, so I am back. It is not the same day as actually the next day. So when I got from under the dryer, I had been under there a whole hour and my hair was still wet and you know on the sides where it normally is, and so I and it was kind of late in the day. So I said that I would just let it air dry the rest of the way and then come back today and stretch it. So that's what I try to do. I tried to let air dry the rest of the way. It was still a little bit damp when I put my lock sock on last night, but I put it on anyway just to protect my curls got up this morning and my hair is dry, but it still feels very soft and gummy. So when I got from under the dryer yesterday, my hair was very soft. It had no crunch whatsoever. I wasn't even sure if I stretched it, if I would have any definition left, because it was just that soft and today it is still just that soft. It'S just so soft and it's somewhat sticky, and it feels just a little bit gummy to me and my hair never feels like that, and it could be because of the wash day product. So so I shampooed my hair with a moisturizing shampoo, of course, but then on the back sections I went in with a rinse out conditioner to detangle, like I always do that's nothing out of the ordinary for my routine. However, I ran out of the rinse out conditioner, so the two front sections I didn't put any rinse and conditioner. I went right in with the deep conditioner the deep conditioner I used was a new deep conditioner to me. It had a strengthening feel to my hair, but it is marketed as a moisturizing, deep conditioner, so it could just be that I had too much moisture in my hair and that conditioner did leave like a coating on my hair after I rinsed that out. I went in with the leave-in. You saw that I used the curl origin leave-in, which is very moisturizing, and then I went in with a moisturizing gel, so all of it could be contributing to why my hair feels the way it feels we're gon na see it took forever, like I said, for My hair to dry and um, and then it just feels really soft and really gummy, and I don't mind it feeling soft. But I don't like that sticky, gummy feeling that I feel in my hair now it could be that I use too much product because, like I said, I used probably a third of this jar a little over a third of this jar, so I may have used Too much or I may not have needed such a moisturizing leave-in, maybe a spray leave in would work well under this or maybe just using this alone. I don't know. I really really really wanted to like this gel and I'm not saying that. I don't like it. I'M saying that I want to reuse it I want to. I want to test it again with different products. I want to make sure that I do my regular routine and I don't want to be trying a new, deep conditioner, because that conditioner, I use, which I will have a review on, is a new to me, deep conditioner with that being said, um. This is what my hair looks like the next day and stretch. I don't feel like it's stretched. Well, I had a hard time stretching it and getting it shaped. The way that I want it to be shaped. I do feel like I have frizz as well. As definition, but there definitely is definition um, so yeah I want to revisit this. I don't want to tell you yes or no on it, yet I don't want to say whether I'll repurchase it or not until I use it again, okay, so yeah, because a lot of people, I've heard only really good reviews on this. I haven't really heard any bad reviews on this, so I think that I didn't, I didn't um, do the combo right or something so we're gon na see with that being said, let me know in the comments section what you guys think of this wash and go. I don't feel like. I have a lot of shine. I feel, like my hair looks, it looks like hair, but it's a borderline on the dull side. In my opinion and um yeah other people who have used it has shine. So I don't know I messed up somewhere, I messed up somewhere. I think I think um I want to give it another try before I give a final thought on it. I was going to just mix this whole video and try it again, but I said nope I'm gon na. Let you guys see really what creators go through um and just regular natural hair people go through. We don't always have the best wash and goes or the best wash days, and we got ta kind of make it work so um. I am going to go ahead and just make this work deal with the stickiness, for you know a few days and then I'm I'm going to uh retry this gel. I don't know if I'll retry it right after this. I may um do something else. After this, I think I want to do a twist out, but then you know I'll I'll revisit this. So the subscriber who told me to try this and tell me how much I love I would love it don't give up. Yet just let me give it another. Try using some other products with it and then I'll come back and give you guys my final thoughts, but I do think that these two are probably two moisturizing together for me. That'S for me and for my hair they're too moisturizing together, um so yeah. I don't want to end up with you know, moisture overload or you know anything like that and I do use balancing deep conditioners. I do use protein deep conditioners and stuff like that. So it's not like. I don't use protein in my regimen. I do but yeah. I just came off of a really I did. I did just come off of a really moisturized twist out um, which you probably have seen I'll link it here, and then I went in with all this moisturizing, so that could have something to do with it too. I don't know, but we're gon na see so guys. That'S it. I'M not gon na belabor. The point I just wanted to show you that this is my hair. I like the fluffiness of it and everything I just feel like. I need to tweak it a little bit, so let me know your thoughts in the comment section below. Let me know if you have any suggestions on this gel, what to use with it um how it worked for you guys leave all that in the comments section. I'D like to hear from you and yeah: that's it guys if you like this video, give it a thumbs up subscribe to the channel and I'll see you in my next one bye, guys, foreign

SheRea DelSol: Your hair just can’t look bad to me lol. I’m glad it wasn’t a complete fail ❤

Mink's Kinks: My mom recently gave me this gel to try. I love how it just glided on your hair and the fluffy results. I'm excited to see how your regular routine works with this product

NaturallyCorporate: Hey Rae! I really like that you try combos that your viewers recommend. That’s pretty cool. Yep, I’ve seen more shine on your hair from other products. Still SO full & fluffy though. I love it! ❤

S Maxwell: Thank you Rae for this review ..Yes, I want to see how it works with other products ☀️

Camille Richards: “It looks like hair” the definition is there - looks good - hopefully combining it with another leave in will give a better result - looking forward to the deep conditioner review

Call Me Chi Chi: The leave in in this line is wonderful. I think you’ll like it paired with this gel.

Shelle: Hi Rae I have never tried the kc gel and yes your hair looks like a fluffy wng but it does look dry and no shine. Yes sometimes it takes 2-3 tries where you tweak it by using a different combo to make sure if it is going to work or not on your hair. Love the honesty of the video reviews you give and also the fact you try combo’s from you subscribers

Ginger Snaps: I love that gel. It is a staple in my stash of products. You have to find the best products to use with it. I have learned that the type of conditioner that is used has a major impact on how styling products work on hair. If the conditioner does not provide enough moisture, etc. the styling products, particularly gel, will not work well and that is even with leave-in for my hair. The gel is not a strong hold, but it gives me amazing definition and a good enough hold, but it is not a strong hold gel.

Joseph Harris: AW MAN! I wanted you to love this so bad. I will say I probably used 2x as much gel as you did BUT it does have an extremely moisturizing aspect that can feel extremely soft and overmoisturized so there's a learning curve. I personally prefer the feel over crunch. You probably thought I was playing when I said it had no crunch and was the most moisturizing gel I've ever used . I kept hearing you talking about how you're moving from crunchy wash n go's to softer ones that feel lived in. I guess I over shot it and here we are with overmoisturized hair lol! You might like the other gels from this line because they don't give that EXTREME moisture that might be too much. I do think this one has a "gummy" sensation to it but I tend to like that feeling over crunch, the other ones also have no crunch but in my experience didn't have the "film" like sensation.

Reservechic: I actually purchased 2 gels from that line. One of which is the gel that you featured. I found it to be similar to Sally’s Proclaim Activator Gel, by with a smidge more hold. I honestly didn’t find anything extraordinary about it this gel and I honestly didn’t care all that much for the scent it had either. I used it in my hair all by itself by the way. Because, it’s a must that a leave in be used under a particular gel, then I skip it. I don’t like that sticky after feel that comes with it. It had the texture of curl activator gel and the leftover sticky residue just like it. So, those are things I honestly don’t really care for when it comes to styling gel. And, even though it is cheap and there are a level of good reviews behind it, I did expect a whole lot more from this product, but it just isn’t my cup of tea ☕️ unfortunately. I don’t consider the product a fail, because everyone has difference preferences when it comes to styling gels and the results they expect to achieve from them. So, no one styling product is goin a suit every curlies hair just the same. But, it still is great, that you took the time to try out this product for yourself to see what type of results it would give you. And, I definitely itely appreciate you tons for that.

Sika Banini: This is the ONLY gel line I use, it’s good for those who are just starting wash n gos I prefer the “max hold” and the anti shedding. Nothing better if you want a soft hold and This one does make your hair sticky which why I don’t use this color. But then again I don’t like most other gels because I feel like my hair is always super dry. Looks good.

Sherryberry DC: I like KC products. Looks like your hair is clumping nicely. Yes, if you don't have the right wash day combo your wash and go can go wrong. Been there. I love the volume. Thank you for doing a video on that gel.

Guin Elva: I love your honest reviews..

Only One Good Week A Month: I use their strong hold gel love it but good lawd it’s sticky. I have to use a lot of water with this gel to get less of that sticky tacky feeling. I did notice I can’t use a leave in with this gel and yes less is better I just discovered that. It’s a nice line and the price is even better.

Dawn Johnson: Looks like a nice gel. The Mane Choice discontinued my favorite Do It fro the Culture Bold buttery Gel . I chased it down on the web and bought four. Why why why?

Darleen Byrd: Hi Rae! I don’t see a shine but I love the fluffiness and definition.

Call Me Chi Chi: I still like your results. I also love the glasses. Tfs.

lvnmykinks: This gel is not for my hair. I believe it's the glycerin content in it. The Doux' Big Poppa is the same way on me. No hold and ends up frizzy. I'm also thinking the glycerin, so high up kept you from drying all the way too and creating the frizz.

Sweetmamarms: You’re hair came out nice next time use entire line

P Isaacs: This is the first time ii have seen a so-so wash & go.on your hair. We will see. Can you share the foundation you are using? It looks great! Love all of your videos.

God’s Precious: I agree with you

PreciousOne777: It looks dull and a little frizzy...not alot of definition. Just a thought...

Disney Toys R 4 Fun: This gel is too gooey for me. Its like the foux big poppa without the firmness once its set.
