This helped a lot. I just started braiding my own hair, and I'll definitely take this advice as I've used most of these products but never for braids and at once. Looking forward to my results! Thanks!!
Hello..I'm a braider in The Bahamas. I've tried using both shine n jam and let's jam, honestly I fell in love with let's jam. It gives my braids an outstanding look! I love it, my fav❤❤
Let’s jam is what I use as well. It’s old school and what I used as a teen growing up. I honestly thought they were the same product until I can across your comment 🫣
Im a beginner braider and I used the red shine and jam, the shine and jam setting mouse. These products have changed my braiding life. I just got the itch on my braids and dont have anything but my mango and lime for my scalp. I actually just made a strong peppermint tea to spray on my scalp and it helped. Because my hair is mixed and not as curly as black hair i avoid washing my braids bc i know how much fuzz it will create. But im thinking of washing it and rinsing it through a dew rag and see if that helps wash away the oil and dirt from my scalp without disturbing my braids and creating frizz. Great vid but one question. Why do you prefer the yellow over the red shine and jam? I saw one braider said its watered down as they changed the formula. What are your thoughts?
Ohk so in South Africa,we hardly use gel on braids... So question, doesn't the gel flake after like weeks of wearing the braids? Don't you get white residue or dandruff from it?
Nompilo Sibiya Not at all! The consistency is more oil based than water based. So I’ve never experienced flaking with this product & neither has any of my clients. I wish you were able to try it to see what I meant. It’s the best thing ever for braids!
i used it on my 4c hair and it does provide a decent enough hold for when your braiding to keep ur braids neat butt its not the type you can do ur 4c edges with at all
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel!! I just want to know what your thoughts are on Ampro Shine 'n Jam magic fingers for braiders vs. the one in this video
I m a braider but I braid mainly Hispanic hair straight or wavy textures. Have no idea how these girls get 4 c hair looking sooo slick. Your video just told me. Thanks so much.
Is it a very oily product? Does it give a crunchy hold? I have long natural type 4 hair which gets frizzy quickly. I want to insert some medium sized twists as a protective style and want to use a product that will keep my hair looking fresh. I went to a hair store today and the salesperson convinced me to buy Dark and lovely Let's Jam (extra hold conditioning gel) instead. I hate it. It's oily and gives zero hold. Have you used that product before? How does it compare to the Shine n Jam? I wish I had seen your video before visiting the hair store. Thanks for your response. 🙂
Hello, I’m starting to braid my own hair, friends & families. I was wondering what’s another product I can use for parting I find shine & jam slippery? Do you think Murray’s edge wax is good or Hicks? I’ve seen a few youtubers use it
Cancerbabbyyy you could! I just feel that those products would cause way too much build up. You can use what you find is best. But the shine and jam doesn’t leave buildup and isn’t as sticky as those products.
My hair was severely damaged using that gel. And my hair is bra length when it was in box braids.. I had to cut it. Didn't mind but my question is my hair is extremely dry. Using just gel isn't moisturizing to my hair in box braids. Can something else be used with the gel so my hair won't break? I've only had box braids once and never did it again after that.
Epiphany M for 4c hair I love to use a brand called As I Am. They have a new line called luxe line & the leave in conditioner/moisturizer is called GroYogurt. It’s really good!
I am spanic and my hair is kinda thin. My mom in law is african american and she teaching me how to braid my hair. The question is can i use the shine and jam conditioner ?. Is not to much for my type of hair 🤔.
Thanks soo much for sharing. Shine n jam is the holy grail for braiders but there are many different types out there and I don’t want to get the wrong one. Can you please share the amazon link to get this exact one you’re using? Please please please Thanks again for sharing. I’ll be keeping an eye out for the link 😘
Fabulous Rozy I actually got mine from the beauty supply store. But the prices I’m seeing on amazon is way too much for the one I have. The one I have is $10. If you go on bsw.com or bswcanada you may find some

HELP!!! My Granddaughter Uses The Shine Jam, but Whenever I Take My Braids Out, There Is A Build Up That Makes My Hair Look Like Locks and It's Very Hard To Take My Real Hair Out. This Is When I Will Cut My Hair A Loose. What Else Can I Use To Get The Buildup From The Shine Jam Out???
i have 3b/3c curly hair but it’s soft when i have box braids in and idk what products to use. i am so post at this point cause i just want the best for my hair so it can last longer cause i’ve only had them in for three weeks. i used eco style gel and it kinda helped but not really. my scalp is also dry and i get dandruff. can someone pls help me!!
@@ShannonMarie i’m about to get a collection for my daughter and i. right now i’m in the middle of my hair journey and i’m asking around to find the best and natural as possible products to use for braiding and maintaining our hair.
The downsize to these products is when they increase in popularity it’s hard to get your hands on them and the prices increase ridiculously high especially for those small/mini containers of edge control, prices are outrageous makes me not wanna buy it
I agree 100%. The shine and jam where I live used to be $8.99 on sale & now is $13 regular price and $11.99 on sale. It’s so crazy that prices shoot once the popularity increases

AriesChic Pinder I gotta try let’s jam. I used to use it in my hair. But that was just to slick it up, but it would always sweat out lol.
Let’s jam is what I use as well. It’s old school and what I used as a teen growing up.
I honestly thought they were the same product until I can across your comment 🫣
Ur beauty is so amazing

Glad I seen this video, I been slacking on being stocked on products and finding the RIGHT products... thank youuuu 💕💕
Cocoa Stuff Glad I could help! 💕💕💕
The shine and jam is actually good
i’m trying to learn how to braid my boyfriend’s hair. this video was very helpful thank you! ❤️
The 3rd comb is a CUTTING comb ♥️
Jessica Je’love you’re amazing lol I had no clue

I am going to try the Shine N Jam, I will come back and let you know how it worked!
Yay! I would love to hear your feedback
Sis it’s been a year
ItsCassieDixon LMAOOOOO
ItsCassieDixon right 😂
i used it on my 4c hair and it does provide a decent enough hold for when your braiding to keep ur braids neat butt its not the type you can do ur 4c edges with at all
All of that shine n jam😍😍
I use everything except the paper wraps, so I’m proud of myself!😂 ( I just use the satin wrap)
I love this am also a braider and I want to reopen my business so this help with different products,and yes I loveeee shine & jam a must have for me .
excellent video, joni don’t use those products except the hair wrap lol but will try
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel!! I just want to know what your thoughts are on Ampro Shine 'n Jam magic fingers for braiders vs. the one in this video

Suddian Smith Yup, lol type 4 hair is a wonderful thing.
Ima try taking this to my hair stylist she uses Murray edge wax but when take my broad out I have a lot hair shedding and tangling
Nae Si oh no! Maybe she uses too much. But try asking if she can use shine and Jam. It’s light weight
Hi so If I moisturize my hair with Shea butter a day before I use shine and jam will it hold good? Or it’s better to use shine n jam on dry hair ?
Christi Wright I would say not to over do the Shea butter. It may not hold as you want it because she’s butter is very greasy
Is it a very oily product? Does it give a crunchy hold?
I have long natural type 4 hair which gets frizzy quickly. I want to insert some medium sized twists as a protective style and want to use a product that will keep my hair looking fresh.
I went to a hair store today and the salesperson convinced me to buy Dark and lovely Let's Jam (extra hold conditioning gel) instead. I hate it. It's oily and gives zero hold. Have you used that product before? How does it compare to the Shine n Jam? I wish I had seen your video before visiting the hair store. Thanks for your response. 🙂
Nya Allain nope! This product is not crunchy at all! It’s very light weight and it holds your natural hair with the extension very good

I'm so sad we don't have Shine'n Jam here in South Africa😟 any other suggestions would be welcomed guys please. Can I use edge control instead?
Nomakhaya Mahanjana omg! I wish I could send some to you!!!!! If you want message me on Instagram! @cooliee.xo
Nomakhaya Mahanjana some edge controls may be too sticky
Order it on Amazon
Can the Shine-n-Jam be used for flat twists ??
Can you use the Shine & Jam for box braids on straight hair?
what gel product would you recommend to use for braiding a toddlers/kids hair ?
Shine and jam conditioning gel is my holy grail
Am a beginner in braiding and I want to know where I can buy this products from.
My hair was severely damaged using that gel. And my hair is bra length when it was in box braids.. I had to cut it. Didn't mind but my question is my hair is extremely dry. Using just gel isn't moisturizing to my hair in box braids. Can something else be used with the gel so my hair won't break? I've only had box braids once and never did it again after that.
Hi, do you use anything separately to moisturize 4c hair prior to? Or do these products do the moisturizing job
Epiphany M for 4c hair I love to use a brand called As I Am. They have a new line called luxe line & the leave in conditioner/moisturizer is called GroYogurt. It’s really good!
You’re so gorgeous!!!😍
Thank you, needed tips on braiding my daughter hair with extensions.
What else would suggest other than the wrapping strips?
You could use a satin/silk wrap!
I am spanic and my hair is kinda thin. My mom in law is african american and she teaching me how to braid my hair. The question is can i use the shine and jam conditioner ?. Is not to much for my type of hair 🤔.
Of course you can use it to braid your own hair! I use it for all of my clients
Do you prefer the shine n jam magic fingers or the extra hold?
NaturalMonroe both are really good. But I still prefer the extra hold
Bc shine n jam is light do the braids get fluffy quickly?
Nope
what do u think is best for doing box braids on thick 4c hair (i’m doing the rubber and method if that plays a factor in it)
Melanin Queen the shine & jam will do just fine, especially for the elastic band method!
@@ShannonMarie thank you!!! this is my first time attempt at doing box braids and im clueless
Lol here wanting a shine and jam to braid my hair
Does that Shin n Jam have that overwhelming sweet strong smell like the Jam gel? Thanks
screeech1 It does have a bit of an overwhelming smekl
Thank you :)
Would it be a bad product to get?
Black girl hair Onna not at all
@@ShannonMarie does it sweat out, like the other lets jam??
Did you buy the Shine&Jam individual
Rachel Bismark I sure did
Where would you purchase wrapping paper?

She’s pretty !
Great video !
Can you do my daughter’s hair.
I’m a allergic to one of the ingredients in the shine and jam
When she said if you braided and don’t use this what are you doing I Felt that
lyric ayers 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That made me purchase it with the quicknesss!!!
Can you tell me if is it better to use pre streched hair or unstrenched?
There’s no difference in the actual hair, pre stretched is great because it saves time because the braider doesn’t have to fringe the ends out
How can I get the shine and jam gel
First time watching .. And i use these products .. Im so ready to start a channel
START ONE GIRLLL
What about the regular jam? Does that give the same results??
Unfortunately not
Thank u! I use the extra hold jam! I am gonna try this product you used again and see if I get better results. I’ve tried it before but something about the texture I couldn’t adjust to. But I’ll keep trying to get use to it.
Thank you.
Thankyou good advice on great products

Ashlee Ballard if you want, you could use elastics or when you are braiding, you can add the shine and jam on you hair every time you braid
Ashlee Ballard for dry scalp, tru sulfur 8 or a hot oil treatment!
Shannon Marie ty ty so much. i will try those products out ❣️
How many shine n jam u buy at a time from the beauty supply
The Family Quinn Empire I usually by 10 or 12

The Family Quinn Empire two or three is fine too!!! Especially when they go on sale, stock up!

The Family Quinn Empire wow in Toronto, they cost $10.49 for the big one
