#UptightCurls #RajeeyahSweetNaturals #HairHealth

Hi, it's amanda welcome to my channel. This is my first week reviewing regia suite naturals in my bob123 series. That'S black owned brands. Only three wash day reviews three styles, three company and or founder facts per video fact number one. The founder and ceo's name is rajia. Sahar - and she is also the formulating chemist for the company fact number two - the company was founded in 2013 and is largely online, but there are a small number of brick and mortar stores that sell their products. I will list them in the description box. Below fact. Number three: i did actually put out an ingredients review video for this brand a few days ago and it walked through some of the lesser-known ingredients that they use, and i also confirm that they do not use any harsh preservatives. But in addition to that, they have one of those ingredients, we use pages or links on their website and it walks through some of the key ingredients that they use. They do mention like honey. Honey is not included in my ingredient review. So if you want to know what's going on with honey and hair products check it out, so i just finished my workout, my whole pre-poo and pump. My pre-poo and pump is pretty much just i pre-poo weekly and then i go workout. I'M gon na go rinse out my pre-poo and i'll be right back so welcome to my third use of a shampoo bar. I have used the cryo botanicals and then just in my last review series i used the yemeni essentials. I think it's called the sie berry shampoo bar, i don't it didn't, come with a label on it, and i forgot to check before i came in here. The cryo botanicals was a moisturizing shampoo bar yemeni. Essentials was very clarifying very stripping and, let's see i do all of my hair in sections shampooing rinsing out the ship. Okay, another sudsy one, and i say that because last week i was shocked at how quickly the yemeni essentials shampoo bar stud stuff, i'm slightly smelling berries. I don't know what sie smells like. I bought some acai like eight months ago and it's been in my freezer and i haven't opened it yet so yeah i mean it's a very faint blueberry smell, as you can see. It'S sudden up, i'm gon na put it down and i'm gon na go in there holding my ends, of course, so i don't tangle my hair, so it's definitely not stripping. Okay, it's getting a little bit so, okay, when i first applied it, it was actually somewhat. I want to say it was slippery, but it was allowing me to detangle and run my fingers through my hair now that it's been in there for several seconds at least i've definitely used a lot. It'S it's not feeling stripped, but it is feeling less manageable and i'm hearing like that squeaky sound. I don't know if you can yeah, you can't hear and i don't hire it either. I heard it once and i feel like it's. The kind of you know situation that would result in a squeaky texture, so i am gon na stop running my fingers through my hair right now, i'm gon na, let it do its cleaning and move on to the next section. Two observations. The first thing i notice is that the product actually absorbed into the hair. If you look at this section, it was very, very, very sudsy when i first put it away and then by the time i finished up this one this you know it doesn't look sudsy right now, any suds you're seeing i think, are actually mostly, if not all, On this black clip this one, i just finished very very recently, so i think that's why it still looks like this, but i expect that this is going to go the way of the others. Second thing i noticed - and this is the same thing that i have been noticing consistently, and i think this is just like a general thing to keep in mind about most, if not all, products. When i went to go and rinse this out, i first did do a little test like what kind of strippiness or what kind of like you know anything am i feeling in my hair before applying water after they had been sitting for probably what two and a Half three minutes without rinsing it out without adding any water. My hair was suddenly very manageable. That kind of hard sensitive, like fragile feeling, was completely gone so letting this thing sit for a couple of minutes. It penetrated because it was no longer sitting. On top of my hair - and you can tell that it was infusing something into the strands because all of a sudden i could detangle, i rinsed it out, and you can see my hair feels really good. My scalp is clean and now it is time to go in with a deep conditioner hibiscus deep treatment mask. You might ask why i don't just start in the front, because it's not my process, strong smell, can't place it, but it's very familiar. It smells like a mix between strawberry, sorbet and bubblicious gum, it's thick, but like creamy thick. It'S actually. Unlike a consistency, i have felt before it's not a strong preservative, so i've been keeping these in the fridge, so the consistency reading might not necessarily be fair because i haven't ever stored another product in the fridge, so it's possible that that is just some good feeling. Stuff, this feels really good it's possible. The consistency is very impacted by the fact that i had it in the fridge. It'S not particularly detangling yet, but as i mentioned, i am going to hold off all judgment until it is time to rinse out, and i apply some water that bubblicious smell and the sorbet smell are like see-sawing between each other, like all of a sudden one's really Strong and then the other is really strong, but this is how my hair is looking with the product in it my initial thoughts, it's not very thick, it doesn't have a ton of slip, but my hair feels really good. It'S softening, but we'll see how it feels after it's had time to activate before i package up my hair for the deep condition. Let me take all this hair off my face. I did want to just give you a first look at what my hair looks like now, so we can compare that to about probably four hours from now. So here we go. My hair feels very heavy. I don't necessarily feel this weight outside of using a play. Mask so you know i am going to, as i said, package up my hair and i'll be back. Oh, that was cold, got some shrinkage. If i remember correctly, i feel like it was had more hang time before the products had absorbed into my hair. It feels moisturized, it's not the most moisturized i've ever felt, which i feel like i would normally get from like a thicker, deep conditioner. My hair feels good, though let me just do a quick uh skin to strand test. Oh okay, it actually feels a lot better than it did through my gloves. I think sometimes it's more obvious to this. This feels a lot softer than i gave it credit for it. Actually, it feels really really good. I'M glad i did this. This feels this feels really really good, even through my gloves, it feels really good having just rinsed out my hair here is what it is. Looking like, the many many different curl patterns that is, the back left quadrant of my hair, aloe hibiscus leave-in conditioner. It smells like a coconut cream yogurt and that's good all right. So this is the slip inducer of the family so far feels really good on application so hold on i'm not going to work through, because i am not okay, all right all right, so very softening. Very softening i like that, a lot mango, kiwi curl cream. Also. I noticed this as i was continuing to apply the leave-in leave and also smell, like bubblicious gum, and this smells like bubblicious gum, just like different, like slightly different, like undertones or maybe the bubblishes, the undertone and there's like an overtone. I think you can see down there, it is separating a little bit so this could stand to be in the fridge. I put it in the fridge, but it was after i'd already had it for a few weeks. Hopefully it doesn't affect the uh effectiveness of the product, but it is a little bit congealed and watery in some places, but that might not matter it's definitely not thick thick and it's not not thick a little bit on my finger as you can see. It'S a little bit separated. So that's why it looks like this looks like a little bit like milk curds. It doesn't feel like milk colored, so it feels good yeah. My hair already felt really really good from the leave-in. This is a nice addition. I like it and it smells really good. This is good all right. So, let's start with the twist first toe. Second, toe these twists look less terrible than they usually okay, so i'm gon na go and finish up and i'll be back an hour and 18 minutes later, not my quickest, but not too bad. It is the next day i actually haven't checked, but i assume my hip yep. It'S dry they're, not the softest twists i've ever experienced, but they feel good. They feel good. Using my melanin hair oil. I would usually use my bow peep now, but because i'm using that to pre-poo, i'm not going to i'm using it i'm using this. Instead, these twists look very fluffy. I noticed that last night i assume it's the size of them. Oh, i don't know, i don't know if it's the products or i don't know why the products would make my twists, look, look puffy or what that would even mean, if anything probably doesn't mean anything, just an observation, because i think if anything, these would be smaller Than my usual twists, because i sectioned my hair into three sections on the left, this is the first section. It feels nice and hydrated, it's a very small section, so you're not really getting anything out of this. Maybe you could see there. Oh, it's like getting dark outside as i'm untwisting them. The hair is feeling better than the twists would have you believe that they would feel. I don't have that usual sheen, and i think that is because - and when i say usual i just mean like from the last probably couple of brands, the ammoni essentials yes and before that was. I think it might have been bo peep. All of the the lines that i've been using, the collections that i've been using recently all have oils, and i do think based on the fact that i'm not seeing that same shine now the oils that i use to seal in the moisture. I think we're also creating shine, because i did just use my melon haircare oil on the twists, but it's not having that same shine effect as i normally get after sealing with an oil. Definitely among my fluffiest. So i'll have to be very careful when i get to separating and i will be back once i am doing just that. So these are the final results. My hair feels great. I don't have the same level of definition that i have been getting recently, but it feels great, it's got some nice shine to it and i think the products did a did a good job. I'Ve got great, moisture and yeah. The only thing i would say right now is that there is not a huge amount of definition, but on that, though, because of the amount that is in the sample pack that i have, i did not go as heavy as i normally have would have with the Cream, so i actually feel like that might have contributed. I didn't realize that i do have another cream like a different one, to try out, so i'm gon na be a little bit heavier next week, because i will definitely have enough between the two creams to get through three weeks. Outside of that, though, i think it looks good and i had a good first week using these products and i look forward to trying them again. I will be using a different, deep conditioner and i will try out the other cream next week and see which one i like better and then i want i'll use the one that i like better in the third week. I don't know what i did over here. I was trying to separate something, and now all of a sudden, this section was just too big, but i guess this is a chunky twist out right. This is it's just like the silhouette is thanks for watching if you like my content and haven't done so already.

But I am interested as I would like to find a good shampoo bar for use when traveling. Anyway, I'm interested in possibly trying this brand since except for for the shampoo bar, nothing else contains shea butter.
