Hey naturally, stirs welcome back to my channel, I'm Nia hope and if you're new, here or you're not subscribed, make sure you get that subscribe button like right now, so I'm starting this video off with my hair, looking crazy, crusty and dusty with no product in it. Someone in one of my last videos requested to see my hair without any styling products in it. So here you go, it looks a hot mess. So with that being said, let the competition begin. Let'S dig into these eight different custards, I'm starting with K and two. I was super happy to pick this up because I've heard so many people in the natural hair community talk about this and look at this 16 ounces for under six bucks. That'S craziness for this huge jar of leaving conditioner and then on top of that. Not only is this price well, oh by the way, the consistency of this stuff is really great. It'S really smooth, not too watery, not too thick, but moving on to this custard under 10 bucks for 12 ounces under 10 bucks like that's wild so anyway, I just like the prices before I even use the product I was like. The prices are great, so the product is great too. This will definitely be a new fave, so anyway, I'm starting off on freshly washed hair, and I'm just gon na take a little bit of this leave-in conditioner and I'm gon na rub it all. In my hair, like so it's one of the beautiful things about having really short natural hair is that styling is a breeze. You don't have to sit there for, like 45 minutes to an hour, trying to come up with a style so anyway. This is what my hair was looking like, after rubbing in the leave-in conditioner with all wash and gos and using custards, you want your hair to be moist or very, very wet during the whole process, so you want to use warm water. I typically do this routine. In my shower, but for filming purposes, I'm clearly doing it not in the shower after wetting, my hair again with the spray bottle, I'm putting in the custard now. This is where I know whether a product is going to define my curls or not, because if my curls start to pop the moment, I start to put the product in. I know it's a winner and I could tell, and I could feel that this product was defining my curls right away, so I had really really great feelings and great vibes from Cantu. God bless you like. Look at this. Look at the bounce back on that. To me, and for my hair I personally know this is a good sign for me. I am about 4b, with a little bit of for a sprinkle in, and my edges are like 1a. If you can see they're like straight bone straight, I don't know why. That happened, but that's just how they are, but here's my hair wet now the true test is: does it hold after it's dry? What do the curls look like? They were? They held up pretty well and to the defense of can to it rain today. So was a little bit frizzy ER that it probably would have been. Let'S move on to the next contestant. This is Carol's Daughter and I decided to use the pro taxi. I hope I'm saying that's right for kaksi nexor nectar, it's their leave-in conditioner here so I'll be using a leave-in conditioner and a custard that goes with all the products i'll be using, and this is their custard. It is a cream and I really don't know how I feel about cream custards, don't know how my hair is gon na respond to this, but I decided to try it anyway, because it's all about experimenting so throughout this video you will see me mostly using a Water bottle to show you guys these different products, but for this particular product I decided to use the sink so overnight. I wound up sleeping in a scarf and I just wet my hair, as you can see here in the sink in the morning, and what I will say is that I was very skeptical going into this because, as I said, my hair responds to custards. That are more so the consistency of what she saw from can to kind of like a gel, like consistency over a cream consistency for the custard. So I honestly walked into this, not really knowing what to expect, but we're gon na get to the results in just a couple seconds here. You can see me just putting this leave-in conditioner into soaking wet hair. I will probably say this at least 10 times in this video that wash and gos require wet, hair wash and gos require wet hair like soaking wet hair, not like damp hair like soaking, wet hair. If your hair is like my texture for be especially for c4a, even you're gon na want to make sure your hair is wet with warm water and that's why I always always suggest doing them in the shower. So you saw me wetting my hair again and now. I'M going in with this custard, and so I'm gon na start rubbing it in and kind of like what I said before. I typically know right away whether product is working for me and if it's gon na define my curls, because I will see it and feel it almost immediately and as I was rubbing this in, I was kind of like womp womp. This is pretty much doing exactly what I thought it was gon na do, and that was like pretty much just suck and not really find my hair too much, and so you see me going in and using my fingers to kind of twirl around some hairs that I thought were like super frizzy and not even trying to be defined even a little bit, which I don't want to have to do when I'm doing the wash and go because it's a wash and go now to wash and sit in twirl and twist and then Go but this was it fully dried and I actually liked it. It was really defined and I was amazed because it's a super soft hold and it was soft like de silky soft, and it was also shiny. My hair felt and looked very healthy, and so I actually fell in love with this product unexpectedly. So third product was the we Dodd. Now now listen! Listen! 2161 for this bottle of leave-in conditioner. Now there must be tears that jesus wept in this conditioner and in this custard, for it to be twenty one dollars and twenty almost twenty six dollars for this custard. I really wanted to be impressed by this, but I was just so turned off by the price that I just even if it was amazing, I'm not sure that I would ever buy it again, because that's fifty dollars worth of hair products like No so anyway with We Dodd this is two days after my last product with the Carol's Daughter. It was on washed hair, so I wash my hair the night before and I wound up believing the putting in the leave-in conditioner right here, where you can see me putting it in. I, of course wet my hair first cuz once again say it with me all Washington's required wet hair, so I started putting in this leave-in conditioner and it felt like nothing, no matter how much I put in my hair. I just didn't feel like my hair was like covered, it just still felt kind of dry and I was like even more turned off like the price turn me off. The quality of the product in my hair turn me off, so I'm going on with the custard kind of hoping and praying that it does something miraculous because it's $ 25 worth of custard this better making my hair curl for the next month. You can see it did produce some definition, but there was a lot of frizz involved and I was kind of just looking in the mirror. Like I get to walk around unhappy all day. This was it fully dried can see. It'S super frizzy, the the curls, the definition is kind of meh. There was a lot of flaking and frizzing that you actually the frizzen. You can kind of see the flaking you couldn't really see, but i just did like that product at all. Miss jessie's now miss jessie's is a product that i heard about when i first went natural for like the seven hundred time years and years ago, and once a time once again got turned off because of the price of their products. I just thought it was like insanely expensive to do a job, a product that was less expensive could do so. I bought this coyly custard prior to actually filming and thinking about filming this video, and I liked it a lot. So I decided to put it into this video, so I rinsed my hair in the shower prior to filming this to get out the product from the day before the we died, and so, of course, my hair is wet again and I'm putting in the leave-in conditioner And I'm wetting my hair again before I put in the custard, because your hair needs to be dripping like you know, super dripping when you're doing this - and I kind of wonder with this. If my hair wasn't wet enough, because I kind of vaguely remember thinking in the back of my hair, my hair is not wet enough, but you know I did it anyway and, as you can see right away, I'm rubbing in this custard and you can see this Definition poppin: this is a sign of a good product to me and I hope it's a sign of good product to you with anything that you're using you should feel results right away or see them. So I was actually really really happy. Look at this curl in the back of my head. Do you see all those spirals? That'S the natural way, my hair clumps and if a product brings out that natural clumping, I feel good about it and look at this fully dried. It'S still shiny. The definition is still there. I actually really really really like this product, not gon na lie. I want up sleeping on this hair, which are seeing the dried hair version, so it could have still looked better, but anyway, those were my results. Moving on moptop v custard, I tried, so this is a leave-in conditioner and the custard. I found this product on Amazon. Actually, I had never heard of it before I've never seen it never heard anybody talk about it and they have the kind of custard that my hair, like so I was excited. I was like. Oh, this might really work. Maybe I have like just discovered a really awesome natural hair product, so I rinsed my hair in the shower thoroughly prior to filming this to get the product out from the day before kind of, like I did with the product prior to with miss jessie's, and I'm Going in with a leave-in, conditioner and, of course, wetting my hair again before I'm putting in the actual custard um, you can see me just rubbing it in here I did say earlier. My hair is mostly 4b. Oh before going into that this product, you only need a little bit of it, because you can see I squeezed a whole lot of it out. I used too much so you don't have to be heavy-handed with this. I want to be using a t-shirt, use a t-shirt, not a towel with your hair, always because it prevents breakage just to kind of take some of that out. But this is my hair fully dry, there's lots of definition, and it was okay yeah. It was just okay like there was definition there. It was soft, it was just okay, product number, six meow. This is another product that I'd heard about and never used, and I thought the packaging was super cute and it smelled amazing, absolutely amazing. They have a type of custard that I like you can see it's kind of like gel, like I don't really not explain that, but I like the consistency of it, here's their custard kind of pricey, but once again it's the kind of custard. I like a little bit water more watery than I typically would prefer for my hair in terms of a custard, but I was like I think my hair will respond to this pretty well so here I am applying to leave in we're just rubbing it in and What I was going to say in terms of hair typing that if you do have a kinky or hair type, like your 4c, where your hair, it just doesn't want to like be defined in curls, that you can go in and kind of make sure you use Your finger to kind of twist it around a little bit, you will have to do the extra work. That'S just what your styling is gon na have to look like it might not be as easy as just rubbing it in. Like you see me doing most of the time for my wash and gos, but you have options you can rake it through with your fingers. I would not suggest a comb because when you break out the natural curls that your here creates, but that's all I was gon na say about that. So here's the end result of my Miele um. That'S pretty much my reaction to it. It was okay, wasn't great! It wasn't awesome, it wasn't horrible either it was just it just was what it was so moving on to kinky curly. If you know me, you know that kinky curly is a staple for me, nine times out of 10, when you see my curls defined and looking luscious and great. It'S because I used the leave-in, and this custard right here fell in love with this product literally years ago, like almost a decade in the game using this. So, as I said, you guys know the drill already. This is something I usually do in the shower, but here I am just using a water bottle, still works clearly, so I'm putting this leave-in conditioner and I think this leave-in conditioner is amazing. I use it whether or not I'm doing the wash and go because it just makes my hair feel very conditioned and soft, and I think it adds to the health of my hair, so here's the custard here's the magic in a jar. This is my favorite and I pretty much was comparing all the custards that I was testing out to this custard right here, because it is a staple just look at how how it beautifully it goes in my hair. This is too easy to be real, like look at this, and I kind of wish that my camera would pick up my curls a little bit. This is the best it's doing. It'S really amazing. So anyway, this is what my hair look like fully dried. You can see my curls are poppin, it's still shiny. This does have a little bit of a crunch. It won't necessarily leave your hair super soft, but it gets the job done so the eighth and last product I use with Jackie's. This is another product that I found on Amazon and I was thought it was interesting that I'd never heard of it before have you guys ever used this? Let me know actually in the comments below if you've used any or all of these products. Look at this look at this. That looks very weird to me. I was very, very skeptical because I was like. I don't even know what to call this consistency. It just looks like a blob, so here's my hair. I think I washed it the night before this wedding it here and I'm getting the leave-in conditioner. Of course. First, it's very watery look look at that super super watery. I was not expecting that, but here goes nothing. I'M gon na put it in my hair and cross my fingers and hope for the best, so I'm just rubbing it in, like I always do with my leaving conditioners and then I'm wetting my hair. Again again, this is warm water, like you could just refill. It go to the sink and make sure you have one water in your bottle and I'm using the custard that looks very weird and putting it my hair and it looks and feels just as bad as it looks, or it feels just as bad as it looks Like I'd, say this product absolutely sucked, this was a dud would never ever buy it again. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody either because it just it made my hair feel like hay and it looked bad and it was still frizzy and there was like no definition - and this was my hair at the end of the day, so yeah you can see by My face that I was not here, for it did not like it somehow my hair exploded using this product, as you can see and yeah. So I really thought there would be and actually really wanted there to be one conclusive winner in this competition of the custards. But Cantu and kinky curly were tied for first place in my eyes. Cantu wins because the price is right: only 15 dollars for both the leave-in and the custard and kinky curly is an all-time favorite of mine and so honestly, they're two products that I will use. Probably forever now, okay, if you're not subscribed, make sure you subscribe to my channel right now.

Comments
showme413: Thank you thank you so much. I actually just did my BIG CHOP yesterday and woke up looking like "who done it." I have been periodically reading reviews of products to enhance my curls and couldn't figure out what I should be looking for. You have essentially done ALL the work for me. So appreciated!!!
iluvmyboba: Sis, your hair looks gorgeous. And I appreciate you taking the time to demo all of those products. Thanks.
dee wright: I watched this whole video and I’m so grateful that you took the time to review sooooo many brands!!!
whitney perez: I absolutely LOVED this video!!!! And girl....I felt that Aunt Jackie review in my soul!!!! Cantu is cute but I’m sticking with Kinky Curly and Shea Moisture Curling Mousse!!!! I appreciate this review!
Markel Dallas: Anything past 10 dollars hurts my soul Great video! Thanks for testing everything and going the whole day with that Aunt Jackie’s.. I felt that disappointment my SPIRITUAL REALM, shout out to your beautiful brown skin as well
Jord LeiLei: I just started using the kinky curly custard. It has really been a game changer for me ☝
Frances Hindsman: I liked Kinky Curly because of the curl definition. I used it when my hair was long and after I did a big chop. It worked better on my short hair. What I didn't like were the flakes after a few days because I didn't like wetting my hair daily.
Nataly D: This video was more informative than anything on NPR. I sat there and watched the whole thing. THANK YOU.
Deanna Hudson-Hockenbrock: Thank you for testing so many different products! Lots of choices out there and I am not breaking the bank and trying all of them! Really appreciate you making this video!
Novella: I needed to say this... thank you so much for risking your own hair to help others decide on what products may work for them. I decided to use Cantu for the first time because of u and baaaaaaaabaaay my curls are popping and not stopping. Thank u Sis
Kiara Barker: This was the BEST! I actually laughed out loud when you showed the last one with the "exploded" hair LOL aunt Jackie does nothing for Type 4 hair but this was so informative and helpful!
jesusyoupick: Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this. I just started my natural journey a few months ago and trying to find the products that work best with my hair has had me on the struggle bus for real
June Clemons: I use Aunt Jackie's and I have never an issue with the curl definition. But the one you should have put in the competition was Asiam...their products are the bomb...a little pricey but not as pricey as some of the ones you had on your list. Btw, you could have gone to the Family Dollar and got the Aunt Jackie's ALOT cheaper. Also, you should have put Shea Moisture in the competition.
Kawaii Soul: I've been looking to find ways to curl my natural hair and stumbled upon your video. Thank you. I realized I had been using my previous curl custard the wrong way. Now I know exactly how to do it thanks to your video. Love your video.
Elise Christian: First I’d like to say your hair is so beautiful! I love it! thanks for the honest review. I personally love aunt Jackie’s, I typically prefer creams to gels but been thinking about trying “kinky curly”
righteousre: Love your detailed review, hilarious opinions & comments. And your hair is gorgeous! Great job!
M. Jones: Girlfriend you did an amazing job. glad to know cantu won, its what I've been using. Keep the tutorials coming.
Shawn Davis: Thank you so much for the comparisons. I've just cut my hair extremely short and my texture seems to be similar to yours, so these products really helped me decide which one to invest in first. I like that Cantu price and results...and if I can get it delivered via Amazon, then that works!
Renada Goldberg: I tried Kinky Curly today - I was skeptical but my hair matches your curl pattern and hot damn, it worked! I have a twa so I don’t need much and my curls were popping! Thanks for a great review video.
Debra Moore: Thanks for the time you took to do this video, I enjoyed watching the different results you got from the different products. I kept thinking wow! isn't that going to damage her hair using so much different stuff, cause personally I usually like to stick to one product if it works. I trust Kinky Curly because its been out since like forever and all others afterwards, attempting to do the same thing or be just as good, but they are not according to your video. Cantu I will try however cause its cheaper
Kelley K.: Nia, I cut 12” of my locs in April, rocked 6-7” of loose natural until Sept, and then decided that I was so over stressing about my hair, so I cut it off (about the length of yours with a taper). Since April I’ve been experimenting with ALL kinds of products, even the Cantu leave-in and curl cream. I wasn’t pleased with the cream, so the Cantu got thrown in my product cemetery lol, UNTIL yesterday when I watched this video!! I revived the leave-in and bought the custard (I had just bought the Creme of Nature pudding 2 days before—couldn’t decide btwn the pudding or custard, and then I didn’t even like the results, so it was tossed in the “cemetery” too ⚰️). But yesterday when I used the Cantu leave-in with the custard.....LIFE!!! My curls had FINALLY come to life w/o the sponge, which I believe dries and pulls your hair. Phew! I’m done I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!
Sha Jac: This video has changed my life, I never thought of using custards, found out my curls love them, they were popping, never experienced this with a wash n go
diane fox: Hey, really appreciate you buying so many hair products and demonstrating how they are used. Description of the different consistency and textures of each product I found extremely useful.
Whitney Johnson: I am more than grateful you filmed this! I’ve only been natural for 4 months. My hair was the same length and is the same texture as yours in the video when I cut it and I’ve used Kinky Curly since day one because of your other videos! Lol I love it! Cantu looking pretty good too! Thank you!
LaTonya Patterson-Brown: Thank you so much for this video! I big chopped in january and its been quite a journey. I joined some natural hair groups and learned a lot but there has been nothing like this that actually showed me what certain products can do. Now i know what i need to make my hair pop
C Carter: I’m with you! I love kinky kurly kurling custard! I’ve been using it for years! I used to use and like Cantu as well for my everyday hair but all their products give me headaches!!
With Love: Thank you so much for showing me what I needed to do to get and keep my curls. Having the wet hair and the pre-spray or leave in conditioner on wet hair made all the difference. I am finally loving my short hair. Thank you again.
Chanda C: Through trial and error, Kinky Curly is and always have been the best for me, 4c. Thank you for saving me time and money.
Palanah'Yah aka SimpleLife: This is a gem! Just big chopped my hair and we have the same texture/type. This is very helpful gonna go ahead and get that Cantu and the kinky curly custard. Todah Rabbah sis!
1shasha: What GREAT CONTENT! for you to take the time to do this video means a lot, i have been wondering how to get my hair to be more defined !
Stephanie Billman: Thank you thank you thank you!! I’ve been trying to get away from putting a texturizer in my short hair and going natural. But I haven’t had much luck with products and I was a little overwhelmed with what to do. This tutorial was a true blessing! I used the Kinky Curl knot today and curl custard today and it worked like a charm! I plan to try the Cantu products next to see if they work on my hair just as well. I did have a question though - how often do you shampoo and condition your hair (when it was the length in this video)? And do you do this wash and go routine every day? I like the simplicity of this routine and would love to make it my every day style!
Jessummart: You made me love Cantu soo much more. Before I wasn’t using the defining custard with the leave-in. But I’m happy I found this so my hair can curl up so much more. Only thing is shea butter does make me break out, but I love the product.
carol briggs: I watched the whole video also. Curl-la-la is one of my preferred products so I was surprised it was such a bust for you. I have settled on these 3 for POPPIN curls- Isoplus olive oil mousse(no alcohol) and either curl-la-la or Eco olive oil gel
Love Jones: Yup!!!! I live by that miss Jessie’s combo and I get it straight from Walmart! Sooooooo worth every penny! It defines your curls like no others.... people sleep on it because of their past negative feedback and high prices ♀️
Chanel Ellington: Thank you for the recommendation, I went and brought the Cantu products you recommend and I feel good about it so far! P.S. for anyone looking I got the custard for cheaper at my local Walmart it was priced at about $5-$6.
Pinot Grigio: Thanks for this demonstration. I am going natural for the first time in my life and I really appreciate the information you shared on the products. This helped me in my decision of product brands to use.
KDoddie: Girl we have the same hair texture. & I am here to tell you that those products from Aunt Jackie's is literally THE WORST!! I completely agree with you girl.
Share Mylove: I love, love, love this video!! I've been looking for a multi product review forever. Thank you for answering all of my questions about these. I'm going to do wash and go this weekend.
Shonda Davis: Great information! You did all the groundwork for us. Your analysis was too cute and so are you. My hair has been short & natural for 22 years. I didn’t have all these options. So, I tend to be skeptical. Thank you for sharing. Love your curls.
Nancy L: Thanks Nia! I'm doing the TWA thing and you helped me find the brand that works best for me (Cantu). Anyhow, I would hope that you would be willing to test a particular product, Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Moisture Boost Curl Refresher. It has coconut oil (natch) and tahitian monoi oil. It's supposed to hydrate and refresh, extend curls and reduce frizz. I may not be using it correctly, but I'd like to know what you think of it and how it works for you. Take care and thanks again!
Tamara Robinson: Thanks for the information! I tried so many different on my primarily 3c curls. No lie, I think I’ve tried almost every curl product in Ulta’s high end hair section. The Cantu custard and Shea Moisture Hibiscus Smoothie for <$10 per product from CVS seem to work as good as the “professional” brands. Devacurl and Phyto were the most expensive. I am thrilled that Cantu and Shea Moisture are sulfate free like the more expensive brands, and the leave in and custard cost less than one Devacurl item. While I still like the Devacurl Decadence One Condition, Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil leave in works well and is 1/3 the cost for a comparable size bottle. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a hair product swap site? That would definitely clear room in the bathroom cabinets!
luvs2laugh86: Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU. I am about to cut my locs after 9 years and was a little intimated about going through so many products to find the one that worked with my TWA and this video was just what I was looking for!!! Thank you, Queen!
Veronica Jackson: This was the best review ever!! Now I know what I was doing wrong. I also know which products will work best for my hair. Thanks!
jsc2991: loving your videos. I just cut all my hair off the second time. I just grew tired of long hair so I totally forgot how to manage short hair. Thank you for being so thorough
Maggie Kimani: Thanks gorgeous Nia for sharing. I have been trying different stuff but it 's good to be educated on the right and affordable products.
Nofirst Nolast: Awesome comparisons! To the point! Really appreciate all your efforts here. Please do an update with 8 more comparisons. Thanks! Subscribed!
Jackie Starr: Personally, I like Aunt Jackie's curl la, la, hair cream on my texture Type 2 hair. I bought it for the first time in the sample size, it's cheaper that way if I don't like the hair product I wouldn't be out of a lot of money.
Cheryl Ward: What a GREAT video!!! You're easy on the eye, speak well and the humor in spots was a added plus. THANK YOU!!!
Anna R: I just recently did the big chop, so this was really helpful and encouraging. I am going to get the Cantu Custard.
Hawa Zoe: Heyyyy Gurrrl! Thanks for giving me great ideas for natural products to POP my curl... I did the chop and discovered a curl, I needed a product to take my distinct look to a new level...
denise sanders: I'm loving the natural look. I have to cut my hair almost every other year, because of the relaxers. So I go natural in the summer, a short hair style.
Diane Henderson: I used curl la la and my hair is set at least a week and a half. I get comments about how beautiful my hair looks and people are surprised when I tell them it's our a week old. I love there products, been using them for our a year now. Will continue to purchase more. Great video. Love how you experiment with different brands. Thank you for sharing this video.
sanctifieddiva11: Thanks for this demo. I think we have the same hair type and like you KINKY KURL is the absolute best!!! I keep straying away trying new products but I always have to go back to my gold in a bottle . The Cantu products is the closet as far as results go!!
Ashlee L: This video came right when I was considering different products to make my curls pop! I use Shea moisture and carols daughter products. Definitely gonna try Cantu! Thanks Nia
Danielle Pointer: OMG!!! This was the most informative video ever!!! I have spent so much money on products and I am just learning to use the custard for my was and go. I love Cantu as well!!! My daughter uses Aunt Jackie's and her curls pop however she has med length hair and is about a 3C.
Ms JW97: On of the best videos I've seen on YouTube! Straight to the point. Very well articulated. Much needed content. Really fantastic job, Nia. You put in the work that I don't have to. Thank you so much. I'm def going to subscribe and check out your other videos. Appreciate you!
Johanna Jay: Nia, thank you soooo much for the video!!!! I went out and bought the Cantu prods and just tried them. Curls are popping. I hope it dries well and retains the curls. I'm new to natural hair and was glad you made this video. . Btw, both are $5.99 each at Target.
S Rayne: I enjoyed this video and how you came to the conclusion that Cantu was the best product. I actually use Cantu, but not the custard. I recently cut my hair so it may work better, but I know that when my hair was longer it would flake real bad if I messed with my hair at all throughout the day,so I never really liked it. I just use the coconut curling cream, the leave in conditioner & the Comeback Curl spray.
Teaira Leslie: Yesss I need this I’ve been natural for 2 years and my hair is SUPER dry so I need something to define my curls. thank you thank you thank you
ChicTiff: This is one of the best natural hair review videos I’ve ever seen on YouTube.
Neeka RF: I've watched tons of videos and my automatic reaction to long videos is #ugh... But i watched this video Beginning to End with ease. Very informative, honest, and hilarious. Thank you
Althea Granberry: Thank you for not being afraid to show us how your hair is naturally. I enjoyed your video and will buy Cantu products tomorrow. Once again thank you for transparency.
Alexandria Cordova: Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️ I was so sad trying a Shea moisturizer Custard when I got a perm. It was a jello consistency.
Malikah Divine: Your videos are adorable and very helpful, Thank you Sis!! I personally don’t concern myself with the cost of a product! The MOST important factor for me is The Quality and Results. I will pay Top dollar if the Quality and Results Hit!
Lynne Holmes: No more heat or color for me. Letting my hair go natural in summer months is more than a challenge. Glad I found your video. So many products to choose from and you gave me more choices. You use lots of product, while I have so much more hair than you, I use about a nickel's worth of product! More may be better!! Thanks for the tutorial!
Twanda Collier: Hi, I recently went to a TWA in January 2019. Thanks so much for product testing and thank you to everyone else for sharing their product experiences. I just want to share that the Cantu curl custard flakes in my hair and that the products that work best for me are from the Design Essentials line and/or custards that are more gel-like in substance than those that are creamy. Thanks, again.
WOOSAH WIT CHELLE: Thank you !!!! Thank you !!! You showed me how to do my hair !!! I already had the Cantu Curl Creme but not the leave in and I wasn't wetting it in between !!! You are a God send ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
sing neon: Great video, I love & mostly use Cantu as well. That Quench is watery, my hair loves it though. I didn't use the Curl-la-la for definition but use their Flaxseed Curling gel instead. The Curl-la-la texture seems more like a moisturizer to me. Aunt Jackie products are not easy to find & a bit more pricey so I mainly stick to Cantu
Ariesha Bonner: Hi Nia, I just started following you! I have 4C hair, it drives me crazy and I just chopped it off 4 months ago to go natural. I'm already had the Cantu Custard at home (never really knew how to use it) but after watching your other video and learning I needed leave-in conditioner, I went out and bought the Kinky Kurly leave-in. I figured both custards had the same consistency so why spend more money on another custard so I mixed the two brands. interesting enough, my curls started to look more defined than ever. I'm still don't have the exact look, but its pretty close. Thanks to your videos!
Solitaire Lucky Dillahunty-Ceesay: Suave has a leave-in conditioner and curl defining cream that works amazing and sometimes better than Cantu
charline forrest: Thanks, I just did another chop and I threw away all my hair products because I had love. I think I found my hair twin with you. I love how you showed the results of each product. I love kinky curly myself but I will try can't because I’m cheap. Thanks again
KR: Awesome video it helped me a lot. I just did the big chop yesterday. I was scared, but I did it and I love it now. I should have been did it. Thanks got sharing!
superzoolady: Thank you for doing all the work! This video was sooo helpful for my twa.
lsanders1913: Thanks for the tip to put on the curling custard in the shower. I was put my Cantu products in the garbage. Gave it one more try, following your advice, and my curls look great! Shiny too. Thank you.
Blackyoniverse: Nice to see someone with my complexion and hair type! I just did a BC after having dreads for 6 yrs and all I’ve been using is garnier Fructis and eco styler however I am off to the beauty supply to find some Cantu after watching this. Also an very much earned subscription for you!
BlackGoth Goddess: Kinky Curly Custard is my favorite!! Love all those products!❤️❤️❤️
Maia B.: I would say Kinky Curly because it’s better ingredient wise for our hair☺️ thank you soo much for this video!! Really helps us know which products are worth buying!
Kay Purcell: Thank you so much for this. I'm just getting started and my hair looks similar to yours when it's dry. So this was right on time
stephanie d: "somehow my hair exploded" I love your personality. Instantly subscribed! I'm here trying to figure out what new products are out there before I try going natural again, but I can't stop laughing. I tried that miss Jackie's when I was natural the 1st time and it did the same to my hair. Waste of money!
mzkappy: Thank you for doing this video! Great product comparison. And...this makes me want to cut my hair clean off! I’m so tired of fighting with this monster on top of my head!
Loretta Parham: Take a look at the Urbanbella line. Really great products, but, yes, pricey! I love the daily moisturizer, the twist creme and the CreGel!!
Tiffany Nichols: Thank you so much for all your money and hard work you put into this video. It was very helpful.
Muva LaNegra: I absolutely love this custard(#1). Although it leaves the hair stiff I apply curl activator the next day and it has alot of bounce.
lavandermilk: We have the same hair type I just went back to my twa after 10 years of locs your info was on point
Cecelia Dawe: Thanks for this video and for emphasizing the need to start with wet hair. I am in the trial and error phase of defining my curls.
Sondra Urgelles: Thank you so much for making this video. I have natural hair and I needed a product that would enhance my curls. My hair tends to be dry and I need shine without making it feel hard. I'm definitely going to try those products on my hair.
Monique R: I love this video! I appreciated how you got right to the point of each product.
ShadaGreen: I use the Cantu curl activating cream and I love it! I’ve never thought to try their custard but I may check it out as a good alternative for when I want to use a gel type product.
Babsie K: I’m still trying to find out what my hair needs. Thank you for this video. Just showed me not be scared trying the products.
Queen JKNCB: Cantu wins for me, I use it and it's awesome. Thank you so much Nia❤
