I don't get why they keep saying homegirl hair is naturally straight. You can see when she washes her hair it's not straight at all. She looks like she flat ironed it. No problem with that I just feel her hair is being represented wrong.
flora bowers I don’t think they meant naturally straight but for people who do straighten their hair which she obviously does, since she had a heat protectant
She styles her hair straight, which some naturals do. They don’t have a relaxer but regular straighten, get blow outs, etc which requires certain products that I, a curly natural, would never use so I can’t review them
I agree, I guess they were aiming to reach those who straightened their hair a lot. I'm not here for the lady with short coily hair because I have thick coily hair. I felt like that was a negative connotation towards kinky, coily hair. Especially when she said she has been natural since high school. All I'm saying is I would have liked to have seen someone with longer hair like me (a type 4b; coily-kinky, low porosity natural with some length) to see the effects better. And I don't think she knows how to care for hair so that didn't help either watching her "pre-poo" her hair.
They probably shout used the word "heat trained" instead cause with natural hair if you straighten it all the time after a while the curls sorta straighten out towards the ends. But you can tell by the poofy roots that that part is not yet "heat trained"
We need to go ahead and accept that " all inclusive " is a myth. "One size fits all" products are a joke. Do what works for you or get swept up in the hype .
I know what you mean. I see all these non blacks saying anyone can have curly hair which is true, but why do they always want to include themselves in anything we have? 28.4.2020
She was talking about how dry her hair is all the time and using all those products. I guess she don't know the products are being sucked up in that cloth bandana.
This is why Black buzzfeed needs to exist with the right people backing it and moving it forward. This feels out of place on this channel and I bet this video doesn't speak to the demographic the as/is channel usually gathers. Create for black ppl by black ppl to be seen and admired by black ppl - that intention is what can make a "Buzzfeed Black" possible and successful. I got ideas.
Mahalia Bazile dont you feel that is slightly backwards to create a separate channel for black people? We absolutely need more black content in mainstream media, not a separate channel that will isolate the community more. buzzfeed is trying their bit. Let’s encourage them!
I'm a Pakistani Canadian and I watched the whole video to see how the product did and their reviews. The women had diverse hair needs and I feel they represented "real women". Should keep these videos to build understanding
Joyce put on a bandana then said her hair feels dry... of course it's dry!🤦🏾♀️ I haven't heard great things about this line but with every brand you've got to give a little to get something. Invest in a silk or satin scarf.
That explains why sis with the short hair was drying out, wear a satin cap not bandanna! They are cotton and it cause friction and breakage not to mention all the cream and oil is gonna rub right off.
Is it just me or does Joyce seem drained? I feel like she’s such an extroverted person so not being able to be around her coworkers just makes her tired. Also she shouldn’t have put a bandana on because those are cotton which soak up moisture
SenA 98 I’m extroverted and the first week of quarantine was the roughest. I felt so lethargic. Our brains are wired differently. We need social interaction to recharge. And we don’t get that right now.
If they could just not focus on making these products a one size fits all and just make them for all our hair types that’d be great! It’s us 4c’ers who i feel gets the shaft #punintended thanks for the honesty ladies!! 🤗
I honestly didn’t know that these textures of hair required this much work. I’m really impressed on how much work they have to do to make their hair as perfect as it is.
Why would anyone relax their hair therefore making it drier? Afro hair isn't difficult to maintain, I swear I don't understand the difficulties so many black women complain about. It's only a process of finding out what works for you. 28.4.2020
Farrah C there’s many reasons we relax our hair but the main reason why some find it difficult is because they never grew up with their natural hair. As kids, as young as 3 years old, our parents will relax our hair to make it easier for them style it.
@@ItsAliJayxD Well the problem stems from the mothers who happily put such a strong chemical on their developing children's hair. I hope that the cycle will stop and these mothers encourage their daughters to love their hair in it's natural beautiful condition instead of instilling a dislike for it. 28.4.2020
Farrah C i also want to say that we are discriminated against for wearing natural hair to jobs and even school unfortunately, which leads to more relaxers or heat damage from straightening.
I have 4C hair like sis with the short hair and it dried her hair out(well she said the conditioner was ok). I'm nervous for my hair type but the other queens looked like it was amazing for their hair.
JRose876 I don’t think a lot of people know this, but mint is actually naturally drying, so it’s not the best idea to buy products that contains it if your goal is hydration. Of course this varies from person to person, but overall it’s drying :)
Oil isn’t always good for dry hair. She should try not using oil and just water soluble products. She can use water and creams and leave ins with no oil and see how it does her hair
Toni Gonzalez do your research, and not everyone has curly hair, I can’t just spray some water and apply gel and it just styles that easily “In fact, without applying a moisturizer, water can cause dryness because upon its evaporation, the hair dries and moisture can drain from the outer layer (cortex).”
Toni Gonzalez if you don’t use something to lock in the moisture that the water is giving you then yes it can be drying. But it has to do more with the air then the actual water
I am Irish/German, African and Native American. When she talked about the straight part of her hair, it reverberated! I have like 3 or 4 different hair types/curl patterns going on. The sides near the front are not kinky at all! the hair coming from the crown of my head needs its own continent. And that's not even talking about the different textures. I have fine ringlets in some places and frizzy coarse coils in others. The one thing that has consistently worked well for me is the Brazilian Blowout. I'm missing my curls though so I think i'm gonna go back natural! Thank you for the time and effort put into bringing us this video!
Rose Red same here I have many continent of curls on my head hahaha Brazilian keratin has been the only thing that stopped my hair from breaking. I tried all sorts of creams, treatments, oils etc nothing worked. Honestly, I rarely miss my curls though they were to hard to manage and don’t have time for that at all loll
Being Talisa is that you in your profile pic? I love your hair! I think African American women have beautiful curls. My waves are good one day then it falls into a weird straight coarse mess the day after
This is one of those hidden sponsorship product placement thing. Cause most of the reviews I have seen they hated these products. But these ladies are beautiful and I love the hair diversity ❤❤❤
I heard both Pattern and Taraji's line, although made by Black women, is not really for coily hair which is ridiculous to me (based on reviews and results)
Tracee’s Pattern line is great it definitely is made for Coily, curly hair. I will admit that leave in can’t do much for 4b -4c girls it is too light but 3a,b,c and 4a girls can benefit from it. I have 3c-4a hair and my hair really likes Tracee’s pattern products .
I have type 4 hair and Tracee’s products are amazing. I have low porosity hair so I don’t do well with heavy products like Shea butter so I chose the medium deep conditioner instead of intensive and it was great. Don’t know why people trashed it bc it had plenty of slip and moisture.
I'm a little confused, overall each of the ladies had rather negative or mixed reactions to the products they tested, no? Aside from maybe one product for each girl, during the process they all were making faces and complaining about dryness and/or the strange consistency of the products. That's why I'm a little perplexed at the end of the video where they're all expressing praises and love for the entire line 🤔 how sway? When trying new products I never want to convince myself to like it or force compliments on certain things that went okay. Seems like that's what the ladies were doing here. As many others have said "all hair types" lines don't truly cater to natural hair. The products are often stripping of moisture and the consistencies are often too light for thick/curly/coily/ natural hair. To keep it all the way real, the ladies didn't seem to truly love it! You can see it on their faces. And you know what, they're not the first naturals to review this line and be dissatisfied. I love Taraji as an actor but her hair line does not seem to work for the naturalistas. I think women of color are really trying to support her in this new venture which is amazing! But BABY if it don't work, it don't work 🤷🏾♀️
Sweet Smiles yes but when it comes to defining texture it’s usually talked about in its natural state. Do bring that this is natural hair video on reviewing products specifically wash day products you would it would mention her hair texturize pre -styling. I don’t think everyone is confused , we just didn’t she was referring to her “finished” look
JustJenny I mean this si a black hair line. So by straight I think they mean someone with straightened hair,someone who has a straight hair care routine cause people with natural straight hair don’t need all this they only need shampoo maybe conditioner and there done.
I ❤️ TPH products. That Sugar Scrub & Master Cleanse is the bomb 💣. When I know I'm washing the next day. I use the overnight mask. I have most of her products. My scalp loves the attention.
The lady is showing off her gorgeous Hair. the pooches in the background and he's got all day and all year to have loved. and lots of attention but I think she should have did the video may be without him, and so therefore he wouldn't feel left out. Beautiful 😍😘🙋🏻♀️😏👌 I just think he's so handsome 😍💙🤍🖤💜
Thank you for providing perspectives on different hair types in a single video. This was VERY HELPFUL! Great info for the different products, for the different hair types.
I feel like Destinee could get even more curl definition if she parted her hair into sections and applied the styling products to each section at a time. Also... Joyce has all these girl friends and no one has told her to use satin or silk scarfs/wraps to help maintain moisture rather than a cotton bandanna which will absorb moisture? Bruh 🙈
As someone with natural straight hair, it always blows my mind how many products people use with natural hair. The curls look amazing, but wow major respect at the amount of work and time that goes into them
Eric & Tara that doesn’t mean anything I’ve been a hairstylist for 12 years now and I know plenty of black hair stylists who can’t do or maintain natural hair.
I only tried the scalp care line (yellow) and I love the scalp scrub. It feels really tingly just like a 'peppermint patty' like Taraji said. It smells just like double mint gum and it made my scalp feel so invigorating and fresh. The only thing is that it is pretty strong and can burn your eyes a little. The master cleanse was good but you don't need much because it's very watery and very stripping. I think it stripped my hair more than a sulfate shampoo. My hair was fusing together and making squeaky noises but my moisture came back when I used a cowash afterwards. The scalp conditioner is good too but I will always buy the scalp scrub. For reference I have 4c dense hair, medium to coarse strands, medium porosity.
I like how the best end result was with Destinee and not Shiquita. Even though I have the same hair texture as Shiquita, it's nice to see that the 3c/4a queen of the group has her curls popping! I often see products just working for the more loosely curled women and not any other women. So, Taraji really kept that in mind. I would definitely recommend these products to my mom for her to try them out. 🙌🏾✨
i brought quite a few products from this line despite all the negative reviews i was seeing, because a lot of the reviews were using the products wrong/using too much, and they all worked great :) when it comes to styling products, you only need a quarter sized amount to wet hair for the best product penetration and definition. the gel didn’t flake for me but i wish it was in a pump bottle rather than a jar because it’s so loose it was hard to get out.
i used the build up buster/clarifier master cleanse and it felt amazing! plus my curls styled after looked really great. however i couldn't get the best slip from the products, had to use my old conditioner and more leave in than usual. i have very fine 3b spirals, and found it cleaned the hair but if you have fine hair and tangles, its a nightmare not to have a slippery conditioner.
I like the fact that she really cares about natural hair care because I feel like her team let the people give their Honest opinion without blocking them from their own truths
So I really liked this video.!! As someone with short/getting to medium length 4c hair (I've been natural for 3 years) it was so good to see representation of all hair types. Here are my thoughts. LEAVE JOYCE ALONE!!!! I personally am a lax natural, and I don't know if Joyce is or not. But this video is less than a few minutes representation of her overall life. You don't know if she has a statin or silk pillowcase! You don't know if she was just wearing the bandana for fashion, you dont know. I'm glad that y'all want to inform her, BUT DON'T BE MEAN ABOUT IT WHILE YOU DO IT!!! Just say "Hey Joyce, you should consider using a silk or satin pillowcase or bonnet or scarf to help retain the moisture in your hair, if you don't have one already, thank you so much for this video!" And keep it pushing!!! Plus from all of the other reviews of this product line I've seen from other people who have 4c or kinky or coily hair, they say it dries out their hair/isnt great. So Joyce's review is STILL VALID!!! AND someone else said it in the comments below BUT JOYCE WITH FINGER WAVES WOULD LOOK BOMB Now the woman with straightened hair is natural and straightens it for styling purposes, she cleared it up somewhere in the comments below. It's AMAZING that their could be different black women with different hair types from a major company in one video. And I'm glad it was on this channel so that other people could not only be educated but other people who have curly hair could watch as well. I do agree Taraji created this line in mind of black people but that does mean that other people with curly hair cannot use it too! I do agree their should be a Buzzfeed Black channel from black creators for black people and all people at large. I personally LOVE PERO LIKE and love that they have a platform to display Latinx culture. (their series about Quinceñeras is up for an award so good look for it and vote please!!!) But I also recognize that it took a long time for the platform to get enough subscribers and be recognized by the greater internet or even Buzzfeed audience, despite AMAZING CONTENT and AMAZING CELEBRITY GUESTS!!! They've still had to partner with the mainstream popular channels on Buzzfeed in order to get recognition. Which isn't a bad thing, just something they've had to do. So I'd love a Black Buzzfeed channel or just needs to be promoted well. Like Quinta and Freddie's natural hair movie series WAS AMAZING but didn't get as many views because of what I'm thinking is poor promotion on Buzzfeeds part and not on a platform for a catered audience. All in all S/O to the beautiful and talented women who created this video on and off camera y'all are Awesome!!! Also S/O to Destinee who went to my school UT Austin!!! ALSO SHAQUITA LOOKS LIKE SHE COULD BE SZA'S COUSIN!!!!
I love this hair care line! I love the scalp scrub and the serum, they both have tingling effects. I also use Mielle's Rosemary and mint deep conditioner and it's OUTSTANDING. (Thought I'd throw a suggestion out there).
All black people don’t have curls or waves. My aunts hair was think and straight no curl what so ever or texture. Never used any chemicals just weekly wash and press and curl. It was like that due to mixed heritage mother was black/white and father was black. So it is very possible. But I see what some said when wet it had very loose wave.
Seasammee I think they put straight since she be straightening her, so they are just trying to show it works for curly haired girls that straighten their hair often.
I bought the After Dark over night mask and the smell made me think that there was perfume in it, but it works really well. I also got the heat protectant, but it ain’t for me. This vid makes me want to try the leave-in and curl refresher. I really liked Trecee Ellis Ross shampoo & conditioner and I want to try Gabrielle Unions hair care line too.
Have you ever heard of Function of Beauty. They have a lot of fragrance free options. For example, The shampoo and conditioner are custom made for your hair type and you choose if you want a scent and how much scent you want in your products.
Ok, honestly let's talk about this. Joyce is beautiful and articulate and bomb, but why is it that we are letting people put cotton/polyester blend bandanas on their natural hair... especially in fro form? I have a genuine problem with this whole thing. Not only that she still has fundamentals to learn as far as haircare, but she is reviewing a haircare line. I know that we have a responsibility educate ourselves on our bodies and hair and figure out on our own how to help it thrive....but when you see a sister struggling, help her! Shame on who ever made this video bc y'all know she still hasn't learned the basics. I think it's embarrassing for all of us when one of us is uninformed and uneducated. She's entitled to healthy, happy, beautiful hair too...that should be a basic right for us as black women. We don't have to struggle with unmanageable, untamed, unhealthy hair that doesn't retain length anymore. Those days are over, and unfortunately some micro-populations within that black woman populace are not noticed and helped along on that journey of beauty and self-actualized haircare along with everyone else. It's not right. If you see a chocolate sister who is on a natural hair journey and needs help, please offer it. We are at a new place in chocolate people history.
ALSO beautiful title change As/Is! Thank you to the team and producers or whoever read the comments and felt it poignant to make the change. (If that was indeed the case, I don't know and want to acknowledge I'm making an assumption.) I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes or divide people, just had something to say and actually used the comment section to say it. PS. LOVE JOYCE - My beautiful haitian sister!
I love seeing this type of content on the As/Is channel!! Curl struggles are NOT limited to POC and i think it’s important to show all the different kinds of beauty struggles we all go through on an inclusive channel. Also so important for the curl community to always be sharing new products and reviews with each other since finding what works is SO hard. If this was on a more segmented channel such as PeroLike, I would’ve never known about this new hair line and maybe wouldn’t have had the opportunity to try it!
But you found and somehow know about Pero Like... who's to say you wouldn't also find "Buzzfeed Black" (as they could introduce it by posting the announcement of its creation on their main Buzzfeed channel to drive traction to it) and still be able to watch this video plus receive the added bonus of learning significant and relevant cultural aspects which brought these products to existence. That's a cool added bonus if you ask me.
And it is also important to highlight the struggles of (the majority of) natural hair as those are different from “other” curly hair. It’s not in the same lane and we have to stop pretending it is.
I have thick kinky hair and tried a bunch of her hair products, a lot of them actually worked well for me. I guess it just depends. I’d recommend they Mother Earth mask, Make it Rain conditioner, Master Cleanse, and the Smooth Attitude hair milk. My hair responded to those really well.
I just got the products and as someone who isn't great with her hair. I will say for those trying to get into natural hair I like these products. I didnt get the whole like simply because I know one thing is I needed a really hydrating mask and couldn't find it. So far I like the products
I hate when people act like you have to jump and do a big chop I transitioned and my perm hair grew out and it’s cut off because I gets trimmed which I been natural for 9 yrs now
I brought the co wash and conditioner last mth. The conditioning was dry when other conditions leave my hair soft. I have thin wavy curly hair. Her line is not for me
I don't get why they keep saying homegirl hair is naturally straight. You can see when she washes her hair it's not straight at all. She looks like she flat ironed it. No problem with that I just feel her hair is being represented wrong.

Sis has a cotton bandana on her head......NO.... SILK OR SATIN, only
Yes, her hair is probably dry consistently because that cotton bandanna is sucking out all the moisture she put into it.
@@bakergeetee Right!
@@bakergeetee that too and also didn't add anything that would moisturize her hair. shampoo and conditioner isn't really enough.
My thoughts exactly too!
She talked about using oil which will definitely seal out any moisture she will try to add after the fact.

Yea she's not taking care of it at night

Truee
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully she will use a silk or satin scarf soon. 😁
I was saying the same thing. Her hair is going to stay dry no matter what product she uses, as long as you keeps using that bandana
I literally closed my eye when Joyce put the master cleanser in her hair and it started to go in her eye 🙃🙃
Lol same 👍😂
Me too!
Joyce every other clip “it is dry” 😂😂😂.
@Akia : right she was real redundant about her dryness 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣falling out the chair

She changed this video from a review to a comedy I’m still dying from laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think joyce needs to stop using that cotton scarf.....that's what making her hair dry!.......lololol
I was so disappointed when I saw sis with the Cotten bandanna. Wearing a scarf to bed that help you retain moisture is the GOLDEN RULE.
Sis is using a COTTON bandana and blaming the products for why her hair is dry... I just.. can’t!
maybe she doesn't know...
She was talking about how dry her hair is all the time and using all those products. I guess she don't know the products are being sucked up in that cloth bandana.
Right!! That's what I said. Sis doesn't know how to care for her hair looks like to me!

I have 4C hair like sis with the short hair and it dried her hair out(well she said the conditioner was ok). I'm nervous for my hair type but the other queens looked like it was amazing for their hair.
Chanda Aimé i have 4c and I returned the products because it not only dried my hair out but it also kinda matted it up (the shampoo)
Yeah girl, literally every type 4 UA-camr that has reviewed the line, hated it.
I just used ther mint condition and it dried my hair out i have 4c

This is one of those hidden sponsorship product placement thing. Cause most of the reviews I have seen they hated these products. But these ladies are beautiful and I love the hair diversity ❤❤❤
Journey the puppy dog is giving me life right now ❤🐾
That dog was like, “I just love you.”
I wish they would’ve put the price next to the product
I heard both Pattern and Taraji's line, although made by Black women, is not really for coily hair which is ridiculous to me (based on reviews and results)
Taraji’s line is for coily hair they are just not great products
Tracee’s Pattern line is great it definitely is made for Coily, curly hair. I will admit that leave in can’t do much for 4b -4c girls it is too light but 3a,b,c and 4a girls can benefit from it. I have 3c-4a hair and my hair really likes Tracee’s pattern products .
May I understand it was made for coily hair, I meant that they don’t actually work (hence not REALLY. For coily hair)
I have type 4 hair and Tracee’s products are amazing. I have low porosity hair so I don’t do well with heavy products like Shea butter so I chose the medium deep conditioner instead of intensive and it was great. Don’t know why people trashed it bc it had plenty of slip and moisture.
I'm a little confused, overall each of the ladies had rather negative or mixed reactions to the products they tested, no? Aside from maybe one product for each girl, during the process they all were making faces and complaining about dryness and/or the strange consistency of the products.
That's why I'm a little perplexed at the end of the video where they're all expressing praises and love for the entire line 🤔 how sway?
When trying new products I never want to convince myself to like it or force compliments on certain things that went okay. Seems like that's what the ladies were doing here. As many others have said "all hair types" lines don't truly cater to natural hair. The products are often stripping of moisture and the consistencies are often too light for thick/curly/coily/ natural hair.
To keep it all the way real, the ladies didn't seem to truly love it! You can see it on their faces. And you know what, they're not the first naturals to review this line and be dissatisfied. I love Taraji as an actor but her hair line does not seem to work for the naturalistas. I think women of color are really trying to support her in this new venture which is amazing! But BABY if it don't work, it don't work 🤷🏾♀️
I’m surprised online people aren’t realizing how gorgeous her packaging is compared to very expensive Oribe.
Morganeezy packaging doesn’t make a good product
I've heard some good things about Oribe, unlike TPH. 20.5.2020
joyce makes any video better, PERIOD.
It’s feeling a little dryyyyyy😭
I absolutely love how you guys continue to make ppl smile in this hard timd❤
Her hair is straight? ... I see the curls sis ... them coils/ curls
Compared to who. Her finished look is straight. Why are people so confused
Sweet Smiles yes but when it comes to defining texture it’s usually talked about in its natural state. Do bring that this is natural hair video on reviewing products specifically wash day products you would it would mention her hair texturize pre -styling. I don’t think everyone is confused , we just didn’t she was referring to her “finished” look
JustJenny The title said nothing about being natural...
Demerica Parker yes but when you wash your hair is it not in its natural state? But hey I could be wrong
JustJenny I mean this si a black hair line. So by straight I think they mean someone with straightened hair,someone who has a straight hair care routine cause people with natural straight hair don’t need all this they only need shampoo maybe conditioner and there done.
I ❤️ TPH products. That Sugar Scrub & Master Cleanse is the bomb 💣. When I know I'm washing the next day. I use the overnight mask. I have most of her products. My scalp loves the attention.
This was awesome! Loved the diversity in texture
Can we show some love for the doggo loving on their person at 9:25? SOOO CUTE!!
Krystal Jindra he is so cute 🥰
The lady is showing off her gorgeous Hair. the pooches in the background and he's got all day and all year to have loved. and lots of attention but I think she should have did the video may be without him, and so therefore he wouldn't feel left out. Beautiful 😍😘🙋🏻♀️😏👌 I just think he's so handsome 😍💙🤍🖤💜
These women have such gorgeous hair. I love seeing black women with their natural hair.
Thank you for providing perspectives on different hair types in a single video. This was VERY HELPFUL! Great info for the different products, for the different hair types.
Nikki Davis so glad this was helpful!
Thanks for the review! Awww love the dog. He loves loves loves his mama 💕
I'm glad we have a video like this. Black is Beautiful 🖤💙
Those products look SUPER solid!!
omg FORREAAAL
yesss even i would buy em
Especially the *never salty scrub* !!!
@@niab.3600 agreed!!
I LOVE THEM!!
I feel like Destinee could get even more curl definition if she parted her hair into sections and applied the styling products to each section at a time.
Also... Joyce has all these girl friends and no one has told her to use satin or silk scarfs/wraps to help maintain moisture rather than a cotton bandanna which will absorb moisture? Bruh 🙈
Joyce honey that bandana made me gasp
Black women are gods. Beautiful.
Joyce wore a cotton scarf so all the moisture she worked into it was gone!! Lol
As someone with natural straight hair, it always blows my mind how many products people use with natural hair. The curls look amazing, but wow major respect at the amount of work and time that goes into them
Naturally straight hair...
L * maybe natural wasn’t a good word to use, my hair just doesn’t have any curl in it
So this was a sponsored video? I’ve never seen taraji wear her natural hair... not trying this line.
Brittny Cotton she shows her real hair on instagram
She was also a hair stylist before acting so she might know something
Eric & Tara that doesn’t mean anything I’ve been a hairstylist for 12 years now and I know plenty of black hair stylists who can’t do or maintain natural hair.
Her products are too expensive for me
Is anyone watching youtube whole day while in quarantine???
The video I didn’t know I needed today
I only tried the scalp care line (yellow) and I love the scalp scrub. It feels really tingly just like a 'peppermint patty' like Taraji said. It smells just like double mint gum and it made my scalp feel so invigorating and fresh. The only thing is that it is pretty strong and can burn your eyes a little. The master cleanse was good but you don't need much because it's very watery and very stripping. I think it stripped my hair more than a sulfate shampoo. My hair was fusing together and making squeaky noises but my moisture came back when I used a cowash afterwards. The scalp conditioner is good too but I will always buy the scalp scrub. For reference I have 4c dense hair, medium to coarse strands, medium porosity.
I like how the best end result was with Destinee and not Shiquita. Even though I have the same hair texture as Shiquita, it's nice to see that the 3c/4a queen of the group has her curls popping! I often see products just working for the more loosely curled women and not any other women. So, Taraji really kept that in mind. I would definitely recommend these products to my mom for her to try them out. 🙌🏾✨
I've never clicked into a video so fast lol 🤣💕
2019 flex: owning airpods and iPhone 11s...
*2020 flex: owning lots of hand sanitizers and tissue paper*
...
i brought quite a few products from this line despite all the negative reviews i was seeing, because a lot of the reviews were using the products wrong/using too much, and they all worked great :) when it comes to styling products, you only need a quarter sized amount to wet hair for the best product penetration and definition. the gel didn’t flake for me but i wish it was in a pump bottle rather than a jar because it’s so loose it was hard to get out.
Joyce 🤣🤣🤣
It’s looking a little drrrryyy
I just want a whole video series on that beautiful puppy lol! I just want to squeeze him and cuddle him all day!!!!
6:47 " "Your girl, did damage, to these ends."
Say less...story of my life, it's like saw paper. 🤣🤣
Journey is all up on her! 😂😂🤣 you must smell really good girl
i used the build up buster/clarifier master cleanse and it felt amazing! plus my curls styled after looked really great. however i couldn't get the best slip from the products, had to use my old conditioner and more leave in than usual. i have very fine 3b spirals, and found it cleaned the hair but if you have fine hair and tangles, its a nightmare not to have a slippery conditioner.
Thankyou for not straigthening your hair it means alot to me thank you❤
I like the fact that she really cares about natural hair care because I feel like her team let the people give their Honest opinion without blocking them from their own truths
Can y’all try pattern of beauty next? I would love to see this type of video reviewing those products as well.
awww her doggie is like mom snuggle me lol
So I really liked this video.!! As someone with short/getting to medium length 4c hair (I've been natural for 3 years) it was so good to see representation of all hair types.
Here are my thoughts. LEAVE JOYCE ALONE!!!! I personally am a lax natural, and I don't know if Joyce is or not. But this video is less than a few minutes representation of her overall life. You don't know if she has a statin or silk pillowcase! You don't know if she was just wearing the bandana for fashion, you dont know.
I'm glad that y'all want to inform her, BUT DON'T BE MEAN ABOUT IT WHILE YOU DO IT!!! Just say "Hey Joyce, you should consider using a silk or satin pillowcase or bonnet or scarf to help retain the moisture in your hair, if you don't have one already, thank you so much for this video!" And keep it pushing!!!
Plus from all of the other reviews of this product line I've seen from other people who have 4c or kinky or coily hair, they say it dries out their hair/isnt great. So Joyce's review is STILL VALID!!! AND someone else said it in the comments below BUT JOYCE WITH FINGER WAVES WOULD LOOK BOMB
Now the woman with straightened hair is natural and straightens it for styling purposes, she cleared it up somewhere in the comments below.
It's AMAZING that their could be different black women with different hair types from a major company in one video. And I'm glad it was on this channel so that other people could not only be educated but other people who have curly hair could watch as well. I do agree Taraji created this line in mind of black people but that does mean that other people with curly hair cannot use it too!
I do agree their should be a Buzzfeed Black channel from black creators for black people and all people at large. I personally LOVE PERO LIKE and love that they have a platform to display Latinx culture. (their series about Quinceñeras is up for an award so good look for it and vote please!!!)
But I also recognize that it took a long time for the platform to get enough subscribers and be recognized by the greater internet or even Buzzfeed audience, despite AMAZING CONTENT and AMAZING CELEBRITY GUESTS!!! They've still had to partner with the mainstream popular channels on Buzzfeed in order to get recognition. Which isn't a bad thing, just something they've had to do.
So I'd love a Black Buzzfeed channel or just needs to be promoted well. Like Quinta and Freddie's natural hair movie series WAS AMAZING but didn't get as many views because of what I'm thinking is poor promotion on Buzzfeeds part and not on a platform for a catered audience.
All in all S/O to the beautiful and talented women who created this video on and off camera y'all are Awesome!!! Also S/O to Destinee who went to my school UT Austin!!!
ALSO SHAQUITA LOOKS LIKE SHE COULD BE SZA'S COUSIN!!!!
I AM DYING!! IAMDYYYTTTTIIINNNNGGGGG!!! My hair is COILY week after week after week after week, I'm DEAD!!!! lmfao where's StarPuppy??
I love this hair care line! I love the scalp scrub and the serum, they both have tingling effects. I also use Mielle's Rosemary and mint deep conditioner and it's OUTSTANDING. (Thought I'd throw a suggestion out there).
Instead of straight homegirls hair should’ve been described as stretched 😒
Yesss. When she was putting in the cream you could see the ends trying to curl up.
All black people don’t have curls or waves. My aunts hair was think and straight no curl what so ever or texture. Never used any chemicals just weekly wash and press and curl. It was like that due to mixed heritage mother was black/white and father was black. So it is very possible. But I see what some said when wet it had very loose wave.
kuroe chin that’s cool but shawty hair isn’t straight if it’s curling.
Seasammee I think they put straight since she be straightening her, so they are just trying to show it works for curly haired girls that straighten their hair often.
I bought the After Dark over night mask and the smell made me think that there was perfume in it, but it works really well. I also got the heat protectant, but it ain’t for me. This vid makes me want to try the leave-in and curl refresher.
I really liked Trecee Ellis Ross shampoo & conditioner and I want to try Gabrielle Unions hair care line too.
def perfumes in the product
Have you ever heard of Function of Beauty. They have a lot of fragrance free options. For example, The shampoo and conditioner are custom made for your hair type and you choose if you want a scent and how much scent you want in your products.
Ok, honestly let's talk about this. Joyce is beautiful and articulate and bomb, but why is it that we are letting people put cotton/polyester blend bandanas on their natural hair... especially in fro form? I have a genuine problem with this whole thing. Not only that she still has fundamentals to learn as far as haircare, but she is reviewing a haircare line. I know that we have a responsibility educate ourselves on our bodies and hair and figure out on our own how to help it thrive....but when you see a sister struggling, help her! Shame on who ever made this video bc y'all know she still hasn't learned the basics. I think it's embarrassing for all of us when one of us is uninformed and uneducated. She's entitled to healthy, happy, beautiful hair too...that should be a basic right for us as black women. We don't have to struggle with unmanageable, untamed, unhealthy hair that doesn't retain length anymore. Those days are over, and unfortunately some micro-populations within that black woman populace are not noticed and helped along on that journey of beauty and self-actualized haircare along with everyone else. It's not right. If you see a chocolate sister who is on a natural hair journey and needs help, please offer it. We are at a new place in chocolate people history.
ALSO beautiful title change As/Is! Thank you to the team and producers or whoever read the comments and felt it poignant to make the change. (If that was indeed the case, I don't know and want to acknowledge I'm making an assumption.) I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes or divide people, just had something to say and actually used the comment section to say it. PS. LOVE JOYCE - My beautiful haitian sister!
I love seeing this type of content on the As/Is channel!! Curl struggles are NOT limited to POC and i think it’s important to show all the different kinds of beauty struggles we all go through on an inclusive channel. Also so important for the curl community to always be sharing new products and reviews with each other since finding what works is SO hard. If this was on a more segmented channel such as PeroLike, I would’ve never known about this new hair line and maybe wouldn’t have had the opportunity to try it!
But you found and somehow know about Pero Like... who's to say you wouldn't also find "Buzzfeed Black" (as they could introduce it by posting the announcement of its creation on their main Buzzfeed channel to drive traction to it) and still be able to watch this video plus receive the added bonus of learning significant and relevant cultural aspects which brought these products to existence. That's a cool added bonus if you ask me.
google exist even for the most thickheaded people out there
And it is also important to highlight the struggles of (the majority of) natural hair as those are different from “other” curly hair. It’s not in the same lane and we have to stop pretending it is.
I’m surprised everyone was saying her hair care line was horrible
Not all celebrities make great products, like Patterns by Tracee Ellis Ross. 20.5.2020
Idgaf what the video is about if Destinee is in it I’m watching 😍
Awwww. Thank you ☺️ I hope your enjoyed it
I have thick kinky hair and tried a bunch of her hair products, a lot of them actually worked well for me. I guess it just depends. I’d recommend they Mother Earth mask, Make it Rain conditioner, Master Cleanse, and the Smooth Attitude hair milk. My hair responded to those really well.
I just got the products and as someone who isn't great with her hair. I will say for those trying to get into natural hair I like these products. I didnt get the whole like simply because I know one thing is I needed a really hydrating mask and couldn't find it. So far I like the products
"My hair stay dry" aha, me.
Omg the dooooog 😭💖💖💖💖💖
I hear all of y’all.... But the dog in 9:30!!!! Took over the show for me
She has a cotton rag in her hair. And slept in it. Your hair Will be dry if that's how you wrap it
The way Destinee talks reminds me so much of UA-camr Kennie JD but I can’t explain how
Love the decorative Sephora bags
I hate when people act like you have to jump and do a big chop I transitioned and my perm hair grew out and it’s cut off because I gets trimmed which I been natural for 9 yrs now
Toya B I did the same thing
Daniella Akisanya I always recommend it people just jump the band wagon tho
From a person with extremely dry scalp and dry hair. Oil/grease does it worse for me, but hair cream/hair juice keeps me moisturized.
Thank you for trying the TPH products and sharing the results. What changes do you suggest need to be made to improve each line of product????
I forgot her name, but homegirl with the short cut didn’t even try in my opinion. Pissed me off.
Dry hair basics 101. Silk scarf or pillowcase and LOC/LCO method bc oil seals not hydrates
I brought the co wash and conditioner last mth. The conditioning was dry when other conditions leave my hair soft. I have thin wavy curly hair. Her line is not for me
I can't wait to try her products.
Hi I loved the video. I thought they all looked great even though the products wasn't amazing for some, overall good.
Do Tracee Ellis Ross new products
They've been done already by numerous UA-camrs, and I haven't heard anything good about them. 20.5.2020
