  • Yep... I thought it was time for you all to see what products DON'T make the cut. All of these products contain either sulfate, parabens or silicone. If you are trying to use products that are CG Friendly or products that won't cause build up... avoid these products.
    ALWAYS READ the back of the lables to see what ingredients you are putting in your hair. It's so important especially if you are transitioning or trying to recover from heat damage.

    Just some extra info on silicones 😉:
    The silicones that have PEG in front of it are water soluble and won’t cause build-up on the hair. Dimethicone copolyol is also a water-soluble ingredient. If a water soluble silicone is in for example a deep-co, the product will still be able to penetrate the hair because the product is applied on wet hair and rinsed out with water. A non sulfate cleanser can wash these silicones out easily.

      Lois that's true... I know there's a big push to use products that don't have sulfates, silicone, parabens but in all honestly we've used products that had these ingredients in them and nothing serious happened to our hair. Lord, knows my mom used products back in the day when I was growing up, and my type 4 hair had no issues with them and grew like a weeds. I do make it a mission to look at ingredients no disrespect to Bianca, but the natural hair community isn't in my bathroom when I'm doing my hair... soooo, I use what works for me.

    As a licensed cosmetologist, not all silicones are bad. You have to do your research and understand the chemistry of products as it relates to hair. Just saying they have a certain ingredient without the proper knowledge isn’t really fair. Ouidad is a phenomenal professional line for curls. You also didn’t try the products to give it a fair review so you can’t say you didn’t like it.

    Unpopular fact: Almost every hair product is going to have some type of ingredients we (curly hair community) try to avoid. If you don't want these ingredients you are better off making your own stuff. Your hair is going to grow regardless because that's what it's meant to do.

    love that youre giving these away. silicones in shampoo create more slip, because most silicones are water soluble it just washes out when you rinse it (I use the ogx coconut curls shampoo sometimes).Also I'm pretty sure cyclopentasiloxane is a silicone that evaporates, so it causes 0 build up. One of my holy grail products Aphogee Curl Definer has Trimethylsiloxyamodimethicone. A lil bit of it goes a long way. Everyone's exp is different but my hair hasn't changed at all since switching out of the CG method.

    Hi Bianca. As always, an informative video that's fun and easy to watch. I watched the video you linked with Penny Tovar and noticed Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate on your list of sulfates. Despite its name it's actually NOT a sulfate but a surfactant that's derived from coconut and palm oil so if you ever see it listed on your ingredient list just know that it's a naturally derived foaming agent. I use it in my natural bath products all the time. 🤓💕🙋🏽‍♀️

    • @gbarillasOfPa
      @gbarillasOfPa 4 роки тому +3

      @Anna Bowen They are but surfactants aren't always sulfates. Surfactant just means that it foams and cleanses. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a naturally derived surfactant that's not a sulfate. It cost significantly more which is why so many people go with the cheap synthetic surfactants like sulfates which also happen to foam more.

It wasn't until i went CG that my hair is a disaster and it's been a year and a half and i do moisture masks once a week sometimes twice i do protien masks so I think and am going back to silicones because i never saw damage i always had much growth i then went through a few years of keratin and amino acid treatments and i got my curls back with the cg method but frizz and ygness has been a struggle. so silicones are fine for really hard to manage currls as long as you use a sulfate to wash them out and using a sulfate a coi uple times of month followed by a siicone free mask is fine i have decades of photos to prove it.

    Hey Bianca, I have 3b-3c hair, my hair coarse, dry (my scalp too), damaged, short with probably a lot of split ends (I've never cut my hair yet), & I might have a lot if frizz which I don't know how to recognize it. As a kid my natural hair was always greased (I still use hair grease) & always braided , when I turned 11-12 my aunt convinced me to relax my hair, I think I relaxed my hair 2 to 3 times 4 max. The last time I used a relaxer was before my 13th birthday, since then my hair started been damaged, since back then I didn't know how to take good care of myself & my hair (& I'm still learning) I wanted to have beautiful hair like celebs but couldn't. Know I've came to realize that a relaxer is actually a permanent hair straightening treatment. In my circle & african beauty culture I grew up believing that a relaxer was just to soften the hair overtime & not make it straight. I've been going curly 4 years now, I don't know if my hair has finished transitioning. Normally when I shampoo & condition all together my hair would be curly & very soft (it also depends on the conditionner). I've switch to sulfate free brands like shea moisture not a big change, they have there raw shea & manuka honey shampoos which I hate cause they make my hair super dry & tangled, I love there coconut hibiscus curl smoothie (it makes my hair super soft, but stopped using it for now cause if I already grease my hair & add more creams to it I have a lot of product build up), I also like there raw shea conditioner, It makes my hair super easy to detangle & moisturized unlike the shampoo but is a little too thick like the raw shea hair mask which was okay but not wow (the mask was too similar to the conditioner for me, I didn't see it's necessity at all & plus the condi was much better), the only products that checked all the boxes & which is less talked about within there line is there 100% coconut oil hair mask (I super love it, It makes my hair super soft & curly, easy to detangle & has a coconut smell, but I'm still hunting for a better mask). Know I'm looking forward to try garnier wholeblends( which I've already tried), fructis & l'oreal ever line which sulfate free) shea moisture is too expensive in my country & since I'm in HS & don't have a lot of money I'm waiting until college to try high end brands . I used to use Kuza hair grease with a lice treatment but stopped it cause it made my hair lice worst, I've started using magic blue hair grease days ago, I'm aware that too much grease is bad for the scalp so I try to use less now, same with shampoo & cond. I've also tried styling my curly hair with creams & camille rose curling gel, but it wasn't good, I guess it's because I've used a lot of product, wasn't patient enough. Right know all I want is my hair to grow back by braiding & greasing it's the only method I know & can trust WHITHOUT TOUTUBERS TELLING ME TO PUT EGGS ON HAIR. I would love to try keratin treatments in the future I don't want my hair curly all time, & I would also love to try versatile relaxer that don't focus on totally straightening the hair but making the curls a little bit softer, I would love to try curly hair wash n go in the future if my hair accept it. What I want is to grease & braid my hair sometimes, do beautiful wash n gos with my curly hair, do Keratin treatments & blow outs or hair straightening, etc.. without my hair been damaged. I would also love to know how to grow my baby hairs longer, & make them softer they seem a little more coarse than the rest of my hair & are the reason why I can't do some styles. BIANCA ANY ADVICE PLEASE.

    Yasss girl, so many brands make curly hair products with silicones which doesn’t help moisturize our hair at all. It’s a shame cause I’ve seen so many people with great curl potential waste their money buying them. I also avoid drying alcohols and waxes. Great video Bianca!

    I went to a curl specialist and she use mizani on my hair so I’m in complete shock that it is on this list but it makes sense. She used the entire line and I had legit a frizzy Afro with maybe 2 defined curls. That was the worst my hair was ever styled. I felt horrible. She took pictures but never posted and my hair looked horrible compared to all her other clients which made me feel bad about my hair because I thought it was just me. She also didn’t style maybe hair types like mine but I don’t use parabens, sulfate or silicone myself and my curls have been popping, juicy and no frizz. I am still working on learning how to diffuse but I am honestly impressed with how it’s been going and very grateful. Thank you Bianca!

What works for some just does not work for others...I tried all of the "No No No" products ( its what I call them). Many of those products had the same effect; some worked some didn't.

    I just started using aloe vera gel as a leave in and styler. It is amazing! I do not get any extra buildup from it. For some extra hold, I add a little bit of Biotera alcohol-free gel. There's no serious crunchiness, but you get lots of hold, even without the Biotera. At least I did, and I've been trying all kinds of products. If you're interested, it's Majestic Aloe Vera Gel. It also comes with a mist, which is great for refreshing and hydrating curls. I got everything on amazon. Not pricey either. You can also buy the aloe vera plant and scrape out the gel. Thanks for all of your videos!

    Silicones are fine (they don't cause any more build up than heavy butters and oils that CGs say are "better"). The only time silicones are NOT fine is when they're in shampoo. Otherwise, how are you going to clarify them if they're in the thing you're using to clarify?

    • @Kknderbueno
      @Kknderbueno 5 років тому +2

      Nothing wrong with silicone, but for different reasons than your skin. With hair, silicone isn't inherently bad. It just builds up, and needs sulfates to remove. Since CGs don't use sulfates, the build up can get bad and weigh down the hair, plus not allow products to enter the hair. For people who use sulfates regularly, all silicones are 100% okay, and in fact probably protects their hair.

    • @purplegirl8036

    I notice for some brands you only had one product which you stated had silicone. For example, Miss Jessie. I guess I’ll refer to your other video on how to read labels. Not sure if it’s that one product, or the entire Miss Jessie’s line. I must say, I’ve been on my journey for 11 months thus far and bought soooo many products, mainly expensive ones that claim to detangle, moisturize etc. the only product that works well for me are the Miss Jessie’s pillow soft curls, and pillow soft gel. When I apply pillow soft curls, I can actually detangle my hair without difficulty. No other product does this for my hair. Also, Miss Jessie’s leave in conditioner makes my hair really soft. I’ve also seen many curly hair girls with big beautiful curly hair that stated they don’t mind using silicones. I guess different products affect our hair differently. What may work for me, may not work for someone else. My aim isn’t to use silicones, however, if I found a product that works, I’m sticking with it for now until something better comes along. My hair sheds a lot and when I use Miss Jessie, my hair doesn’t shed as much. I do appreciate the videos you put out, I have referred to your videos in the past which have been very helpful and provided me the guidance I needed on this journey. I have learned a lot from your videos in terms of how to care for naturally curly hair. So thank you.

Shampoos are my next venture-haven't found one I like, so far, they all dry my hair out. That'll be another DIY.

    I only recently discovered the CG method...oh man, I also have a ton of products that I used once or twice in desperation to fix my frizz that I need to donate too. I held my breath and was so happy I didn’t see the Maui Moisture or Shea products I just bought today come out of your box! LOL thanks for this awesome video!

    I have the Marc Anthony Strictly Curls curl defining lotion and it works well for me, it does have cyclotetrasiloxane but apparently that's CG approved!
