Easy Wedding Guest Natural Hair Idea | Innersense Products & More | How My Twist-out Lasted A Week
Переглядів 977День тому
I used a variety of brands and products to get this easy but super cute hairstyle for my friend's wedding! To my pleasant surprise, the hairstyle got better and better with time - I'll likely set all of my twist-outs like this moving forward. Thank you for watching. I know my energy started off a little slow, but I was going through a rough patch at the time of making this video. But it took a ...
Cécred by Beyoncé: My First Impressions & Honest Thoughts | Plus A Trim & Textured Blowout
Переглядів 1,2 тис.14 днів тому
I finally tried Cécred, the highly talked about haircare line from Beyoncé! I was also in need of a trim, so I used the collection to do a textured blowout instead of my usual wash-n-go or twist-out. These are my first impressions and honest thoughts. Also, I bought this collection with my own coin; it was not gifted through PR. Thanks for watching, and see you next week. Remember to subscribe,...

TPH by Taraji Scalp Care Review | I Wanted To See If It'd Keep My Scalp Clean For a Week
Переглядів 223Місяць тому
My scalp is very problematic so I wanted see if Taraji P Henson's scalp collection would not only relieve my scalp, but also maintain my scalp's cleanliness and balance for a full week until my next wash day. Additionally, I did a twist-out using stylers from Black-owned indie brand Moisture Love. Here's my honest review with first impressions and a post-week update! Hope you enjoy it and find ...
Your hair is so pretty!
Fenty Hair next pleeease! ❤🫧🧴
It just got better and better !! Love it
@@DearAmeerah thank you ☺️ ❤️
Just subscribed. Really enjoyed the video. ❤ WEDDINGS! The Haiirbath made my hair stripped and hard. Glad it worked for you. TFS! 😊
@@nancystanford427 thank you so much! And oh no, it’s the worst when a product strips your hair. So wild how products can work so differently on different hair types!
You're beautiful.are you Rwandan?
I love this long form vlogging style! It’s like a day in the life🙂
@@christil.leveille142 thank you! I definitely want to get better at it and do more!
You look like Rwandan,are you Rwandan?
I unfortunately don't know my original ancestry due to slavery. All of the family that I can trace was born in the U.S., so we have no way of knowing our roots. But it's always so cool to hear other people's thoughts on what I could be! What parts of me look like I could be Rwandan?
With a CE… not a SA… *side eye*🤣🤣🤣🤣 Instant Sub!!! You throw lite shade like me I love it! LOL
Lol I promise I wasn't being shady, but it did look that way. I'm alwayyyyyys making faces and sometimes my faces, my tone, and what I'm saying altogether make for an unintentional shady moment. But I'm cracking up because when I watched it back I was like "omg that looks so shady!" LOL 🤣. And thank you so much for watching 💖
@@EssenceGant I kinda figured that but wanted to tease just a lil bit…🤣 I was really low key projecting too because I’m a stickler for correct grammar and spelling so I definitely rolled my eyes a little bit when she first dropped the line… 🤣🤣🤣 But you are welcome, Queen. Love your hair, personality and content. I’ll be watching for more. Happy Hair to you Babes 💕🥰
@@SheebahBaby Thank you soooooooo much ❤❤❤
New subbie because I love your energy you’re so witty and charming!!!🩷
@@Ssonlyte awe thank youuuuuu ☺️💖
I can't wait to keep watching more of your videos ❣❣❣❣❣
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying it 💖
Why do you leave the water running when you're not using it? 😅 and it's not just you, most natural hair videos I watch the girlies just let the water run for an hour or 2 like ain't yall scared about the water bill? 😩 water bill is killing us in south africa, I just get anxious watching water get wasted, lol. Loved the review 👌🏾 ❤
Great review! And I agree, if you are in the southeast of the US where the humidity is suffocating and don’t have that Cécred moisture sealing lotion, you are missing out! That stuff is the TRUTH in this weather.
It's so good!
We love an informative beauty queen!!! 👸🏾❤
❤❤❤
Love the hair!!
@@thecelestialauntie thank you so much 😊
You are gorgeous all over❤
Wow thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I was really going through a lot at the time of this video. Thank you for watching ❤
How did you do that half up and half down?
I separated the bottom and top half and put the bottom half in a hair tie to keep it out of the way. Then I pulled out the two front pieces and put the top half in a ponytail with a hair tie, and wrapped a piece of hair around the hair tie. And then I just took the bottom half out and fluffed it. I def had to do it more slow and gentle than I would if my hair were straight though. I'll do a video on it too!
You are so pretty🙏🏾❤️❤️😍😍🥹🥹
Thank you so much 😭❤
im a new subscriber and omg the evolution of your hair during the week is goals! the shape is so beautiful! ❤
Awe thank you so much, and thank you for subscribing and watching! Can't wait to see more of you 🥲💕
Soooooo silly! Lmao I’m obsessed w your energy. Beautiful. New sub woooo! 😻🩷🥳
@@nicolesnotebook lol thank you 💕
Wow! Your second day hair ❤❤ absolutely beautiful!! New subbie for sure x
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Looking forward to connecting with you 💖
Your wash day is a full time job 😩 but it came out so cute!
Literally! That's why I often take myself out for a treat after. I feel like I earned it 🤣🤣🤣
Looks soooo good!
Staccccc 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
1. I knew the twist out would look good because the twists were fire! Looked so healthy and bouncy 2. I love the tips on throughout! 3. Love glimpses of your day to day through this 🤣(minus the disrespect of that wonderful person, Sasha I think her name was) 4.Yes you were shouting 5. I love all the days but the final day was my fave by far! 6 I would like to “borrow” read as steal the innersense gel to try on my twist out! Love this!!!
I am cracking UP 🤣🤣🤣. It's the itemized list for me! Thank you for watchiiiiiinnnnng!
Wow your hair looked so beautiful. I’m really impressed
Thank you so much! I was quite impressed by the products, too. Celebrity lines can be a toss-up, but Cecred worked really well on my hair!
You should have shut the water It was hard to hear you
Thank you and 100% agree; noted for next time! First time shooting in a hotel and the acoustics were super good, but that also made the background noise very prominent. Sitll new to UA-cam and long-form content, so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you come back for future videos 💖
See, you're about to make me cop after seeing that level of lather. As a butt-length loc girly, literally nothing but a lil bit of DAWN gives me THAT kind of lather. Especially when trying to lift buildup!
Oh wow! Yea, the lather immediately stood out to me. A little product went a really long way, too.
Stacey keeping receipts so she won’t be villainized is big eldest daughter energy
She’s so petty 😂😂😂
“I don’t know if I did something wrong, but it’s not giving” after skipping an entire conditioning step 😂
Looking back I was like "okay, Essence, it was definitely you"🤣🤣🤣
That hair bounce is everything!🙌🏾
Thank you so much ☺️
I love the sister cameo ❤ can yall do a tutorial on trimming hair at home?
Thank you! And yes! She be acting like we overworking her with these trims but she'll do it. Deep down she loves it 🤣🤣🤣
Great review!! We’re so happy you like our Deeply Rooted Crew! 🌳💛
Thank y'all, I love it soooo much!
Your results were so cute especially that day 2 hair 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!
Whoa I love everything about this video 😊❤ great job! And we love a voiceover.
I didn't even know Tia had a hair care line!!!
Finally! Been waiting on a new vid! Thx for these reviews…they are super helpful, esp for a recovering product junkie. So I know where to invest my coins🙂 and lol at daddy making an appearance at the end😂
I was wondering about her products so thank you for this review! And I love that cape! Definitely going to have to get me one
Such a great review, Essence! Thorough, easy to follow, and FUN. Cannot wait for you to do some vlogs. Ooh and Asian snack reviews! Welcome (back) to UA-cam. 🎉❤
I like the scalp penetration abilities of those little comb gadgets
I need one of those hair care hero capes ❤😊😂
Love this collection! Definitely recommend!
I think this would be so good on my locs!!!
and would be! the applicator would make it so easy for the product to get in your parts.
Any of your hair content be making me realize I’m actually bald headed lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WAIT 🤣🤣🤣
😂
I LOVE THIS LINE AND I LOVE YOU
Thank youuuuuuu ♥
Absolutely loved this content! Congrats on your first video! 🎉 This is such a great, detailed tutorial, and I love the TPH Never Salty Scrub. Looking forward to trying the rest of the TPH scalp collection and the Moisture Love products too. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank youuuuuuu 😭
You sold me once you started talking about the mint smell cuz I keeps me some peppermint oil in my hair routine. So many shampoos don't have it and I be looking.. Even better if it has a lil tingle!
YES! I love the tingle sensation (in my mind that means it's really working lol). That was something that I really loved about this collection.
I'm so glad you did this review cuz I've been wondering how her products perform!!!
omg yaye! thanks for watching 💞
