5 Curly Hair Products I Use to LOVE but now HATE/Don't Use | Top Five Friday | Lydia Tefera
#TopFiveFriday #NotSponsored - Навчання та стиль
I don't understand the hype behind the shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie, it just didnt work for me. My curls were not defined at all and was so limp and feel greasy after two days
I feel the same way about it now!
Mines didn't feel greasy but I could get past the smell either on top of that my curl didn't look like there was anything special to them
I was so confused by all the positive reviews online, bc when I tried it, it was horrible. I found out they changed the ingredients at some point. And the smell is too much.
Yes!!! I looked like a stringy rat who got soaked in the rain- I brought a whole jar so I used it but it was a greasy, heavy mess
I was using it a while ago and I started to HATE IT.BUT i revisited it this week and I'm in love 😂
How did coconut become the go to fragrance for curly hair products? I don’t like it.
Right!!!! I hate the smell of coconut and it seems that alot of brands are making it their go to fragrance.
Omg I know right! I don’t understand it!
Coconut oil (due to its known benefits for hair and skin) was the first popular oil that naturals used before trying others. I am a 90s natural and we all swore by coconut oil lol until some realized it wasn't great in their hair and started using other oils.
I used to swear by EVERYTHING Cantu when I first went natural
now it doesn't do anything for my hair. I don't think it's trash like many say I just think that once you've transitioned it isn't as effective.
1.Hello hydration (Herbal Essences)
2.Eco Styler anything (my scalp can't handle it anymore)
3. Carol's Daughter...All of them ugh I was so disappointed 😥EXCEPT for the hair mask from the almond milk line.
4. All brown protein gels=dry city
5. Coconut oil...I tried to love it but had to just be real and let it go. Great for my skin,terrible for my hair.
I could go on because I'm a recovering product junkie😂😂 I probably will think of more later.
Omg YES SAMEEEE!
Saaaaaaaaaame
Carol's Daughter Hair Milk & Coco Creme lines are holy grail but I totally agree with you on the coconut oil lmao.
You’re protein sensitive
I was definitely surprised you mentioned that OGX shine spray. I started using it because of you. And I absolutely love it.
It’s definitely a product I still enjoy!! I just realized I haven’t been using it as often 😭 but after doing this video it reminded me how much I used to enjoy it.
Past🚫
I would love a video on your top 5 shine hair sprays/products!
Me too!!
Okay 💕💕💕
I would love to see a video on your favorite shine sprays!
One product I used to love but can’t use anymore is Eco Styler Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Gel. I’ve found way better gels and I’ve come to realize I prefer how my hair feels with natural gels. I don’t have to work as hard to keep my hair moisturized with the natural gels. It’s health over hold for me lately!
Same!
Same, it was the one eco styler i actually liked for a full wash and go. Now i rather use a gel with actual slip and worked well with everyrhing. My new ALL TIME HANDS DOWN favorite gel is the Natures Protein Styling and setting gelee 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I loved this series
Past! The curl enhancing smoothie never did much for my hair. Never penetrated the hair shaft, just sat on top of my strands. Thanks for the heads up on the wet line gel. Haven’t used it but was definitely thinking about it.
I love Mixed Chicks leave in and I use it with OGX coconut hair mist, Aveda light hair get and avocado curl spray by Design Essentials.
I hate the smell of the shea moisture smoothie 🤮 Notification crew ♥️
Glad I’m not the only one!
I literally just purchased the ogx spray today because of 1 of your other top 5 videos🤣🤣 so glad nothing is wrong with it!
The Wetline Xtreme Gel does make your hair super dry more drying then my Eco Gel so I just recently stopped using it as well. Plus it causes flakes on my edges and thats a no go. Love this video. PAST
Oh that’s the worst 😭
I need to find a gel like wetline that isn’t wetline bc I hate the ingredients but it works for me
damn i was so offended when u brought up the curl enhancing smoothie
I totally agree with you about the curl enhancing smoothie. One of the first products I used and absolutely loved it. Now it just doesn’t work on my hair and I just can’t stand the smell!
Twins!
Wow same - I got tired of the Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie too. I haven’t used it in a very very long time!
Yeah I couldn’t do it anymore 😭
I love it❤️ past ❣️ can’t wait for next Friday
😘😘😘
OMG i'm so glad someone else said this about wetline! my hair is SOO dry when i use it, no matter what kind of leave in or cream i use first
Kyla Maupin saaaaaame. My hair hates it, SUPER dry not matter what I layer it with
Thank you for sharing Kyla!
A video on your favorite sheen spray's would be highly appreciated! Or if you could just write it out that would be amazing too!
Shea moisture changed the ingredients a while back. It never defined my curls. I mix it with a little bit of water and use as a moisturizer. BUT for my sons hair, It defines his waves. I was struggling with his hair for a while. I started using the smoothie in his hair every night, nothing else, and then put his little Du rag on. Soft wavy hair every morning.
Thanks for sharing!
Past! And please do the shine spray video 😊
Past!!! All of those products were my early OG products as well, but as time goes on and new products are tried the old ones kind of get kicked to the curb. I used the Wetline gel one time and I was not impressed. I would not even want to take the chance that Wetline could dry out my hair with continuous usage. So that is the end of that gel. I have a few curly cocktails I want to try and I will be pulling out the curl enchancing smoothie one last time to pair it with my favorite gels. The Kinky Curly Knot Today was my favorite leave in early on, I have not used that for a long time. Thinking about pulling that back out too.Thanks for sharing.
Thank for sharing Karen!
omg, just found out about your channel and i'm lovinggggggg your videos !!!!
Thank you so much for the love! Love you back!!!
PAST. I'm gonna add the As I Am Curling Jelly to my list of things to try. I used to use Oyin Hair Dew. Love the results, hate the smell. Struggling to find a replacement in the last year
Past 🚫
I loved the Cantu Leave in for natural hair when I first tried it, but then it dried my hair out and caused a bunch of tangling and breakage. Apparently I’m so glycerin sensitive I cannot have it ANYWHERE on the ingredient list of leave in products. I gave it to my husband, and it seems to work pretty well for him.
I still like Kinky Curly Knot Today, but I discovered diy catnip tea rinses that are sooooo much cheaper, keep tangles to a minimum all week, decrease friction between hairs all week (not right after applied in the shower though-it’s tangle prevention, not a detangler), and has decreased split ends. The KCKT had to be reapplied once or twice mid-week and it’s a lot more expensive, so I’ll use it up but probably won’t repurchase even though it was a holy grail. I know I’ve mentioned catnip rinses in your comments before, but the stuff is seriously awesome!
And no, I don’t have cats following me around. XD Steeping the catnip in very hot water destroys the component that cats love.
Thank you sooo much for sharing!
Past🚫
Cantu leave in conditioner.
For me I thought the curl enhancing cream was good but then I realized it doesn’t tame any frizz so I tried Cantu coconut curling cream and it was much better :)
I’m so in love with your videos could you please review the style factor styling gel
Thank you! And I can’t make any promises but thank you for the suggestion!
i feel this way about sm manuka honey mask (brown jar ) and mielle almond milk.
Past!! Curl enhancing smoothie never worked for me so yeah glad you got rid of it LOL
PAST! That Shea Moisture Curling Enhancing Smoothie is the absolute worse smell. It’s headache inducing for me. I just can’t... 🤦🏾♀️
Where I lived it was 130 degrees and humid one summer and the Shea moisture hibiscus smoothie was the only thing that would tame my hair
My “no-no” list:
1. Cantu
2. Shea Moisture
3. Eco styler (for the most part)
4. Any raw oils
5. Any products with silicones, mineral oil and SLS.
🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫
Same! I would add Wetline also.
😳 no raw oils 😱 why is that ?
Melinda Copper water and oil do not mix. Since water is the only true source of moisture, oil only seals my hair from added moisture and coats it. It does nothing for the overall heath of my hair. As well, I do not use cleanser that foam (sulfate or sulfate free shampoos) but only cleansing conditioners so raw oils and butter will only buildup on my hair and cause breakage. I have a simple yet effective routine that focuses on hydration and curl definition.
What cleansing conditioner do you use?
Justine Horton NYC CURLS
Past ... past. The OGX spray 😪😪.. why its so good. Yes 🙏🏾🙏🏾 do a video of your new favorite hair spray oils. I totally agree with the shea moisture and wet line gel. Shea Hibiscus curl cream always made my scalp itch and the wetline dried my hair out after the 1st try.
Thanks for sharing!!!
I agree the coconut hibiscus does not work the same for me anymore. Never use mix chicks. As I Am Curly jelly did not work for me. I have the blue Xtreme, I had that one but it doesn’t mix with all my Leave ins. Never used The shine spray.
Passed.
Past! Video on shine sprays plz!
Okay! 💕
Past 🚫🚫
I agree with the Wetline. I retried it yesterday and my hair feels terrible. I used the exact same products on my wash & go last week and had pillow soft curls for 8 days but added wetline my hair is dry and crunchy on DAY 1. 🙄
Thanks for sharing girl!
Past. My hair is glycerin sensitive, so many OG products just never worked for me. I’m interested in the Orchid OGX spray and other shine products though! 😁
Reservechic right now I use the Kinky Curly line for the same reasons you mention. I would like a spray; can you recommend one?
#notificationsquad That SM coconut smoothie was everyone's OG at the beginning😂 my hair doesn't like it bc she no longer likes coconut oil🤷🏾♀️. Great vid sis! PAST 💙
Yeah I feel like my hair is the same way!
I love wetline. I use to literally use it every wash day. I stopped using it for a while this year and tried more natural gels but with more natural gels my curls weren’t lasting past day 2. So I’ve started using wetline again and alternating between doing wash and gos and 2 strand twists. On wash days when I do twists I don’t use any gel.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Notification Squad!!💕💜🙋🏾♀️
💕💕💕💕
@@LydiaTefera Past!!🙋🏾♀️💜💜
Past! What would be the best jelly that you would recommend. My hair type is similar to yours. Thanks.
UFD curly magic 💛
I feel the same way about the curl enhancing smoothie. It used to be my holy grail when I first started using natural products. I recently repurchased but I found it was not as moisturizing as before :/
Same!
You snapped on this video with that top, very summery and Middle Lydia, we love her this season
Not to be odd but never forget in one of your videos You had a middle part and you was like "I'll never rock a middle part"
I know Middle part Lydia has evolved and now I’ve been loving her!! Thank you so much!
PAST* Maui curl creme use to work for me when first big chop gels never worked for me .
Thanks for sharing Tamara!
Past! I’ve tried to make the curl enhancing smoothie work for me but it just won’t lord knows I’ve tried! I’m currently in a time where my wash n go’s are barely lasting so trying to find products that hold well and provide moisture.
I tried to give it a fair shot for me as well but it just wasn’t working either!
🚫 yes, I want to hear the top 5 shine sprays. I’ve been using the OGX sprays but I’ve been wanting to see if there are any others out there that are better!
Okay! ♥️♥️
what’s your hair type? you’re so gorgeous btw!
Products I use to swear by but now hate are....
1. SM curl enhancing smoothie
2. Kinky curly knot today leave in
3. Eco styler gel
4. Any product by the brand curls
5. Suave shampoo/conditioners
Thanks for sharing!
I think you would love it lovely
Have you tried the Hask Cactus line? I use the 5-1 leave-in conditioner spray and it’s soooooooooo good... btw *PAST*!
I haven’t! Thanks for sharing!
I want to try that line, i started using the coconut shampoo by them recently, it's good
I used to hate the smoothie now I love it 😂
SM stop working for me too. Definitely a beginners choice and it was so good when my hair was damaged
can you do a natural hair jouney?
Hello, I'm a new subscriber. I've been looking for the OGX Orchid "shine" spray you mention here, but all I've found is color protectant & fade- defying sprays. Searched Amazon, Ebay, and the OGX website. What is the name on the bottle, maybe I'm searching with the wrong words? I'd really like to try this product.
Yea I will pass on that wetline . Im not a fan .BUT the smoothie I stay with that in my stash☺️
Thanks for sharing girl!
Past, four of the five products you showed and Cantu, OGX, dippity Doo, design essentials spray and more. I cleaned out everything that comes trained sodium hydroxide, phenoxyethanel, methylchloroisothiazolinone etc. It was exhausting and I don't regret it. Now I am using Dr Bronner's castle soap for. Head to toe.
Do a straight hair tutorial. I would love to see how Long it is.
I don’t care what leave-in you use with Wetline , within 3 days your hair is like a desert.
So I will only use it when I going to wash my hair in 3 days.
PAST
Yeah my hair would get desert vibes 🌵!!!
Past!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🤩
💕💕💕
I’m thinking about transitioning whats wrong with the Shea mouister smoothie
i never gave wetline gel a chance bc after using eco gel i was traumatized. i just slick my hair with cocoa butter now
PAST- Wetline dried my hair out horribly a few Winters ago. I had to do several weeks of deep conditioning to get my hair back together. Since then all these videos coming out reviewing it make me cringe...just a little, lol. I wouldn’t gift it to my worst enemy. Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner used to also be my go to leave-in, but caused brittle hair overtime.
Yeah I had to deep condition my hair super often too after I realized my hair was getting super dry. Thank you so much for sharing!
past🚫
would like the top 5 shine mists video
♥️♥️
The wet line gel had my strands that fell off my head feeling really coated I only used it once and never again
Yeah that product works great for some and not so much for other. Totally understand what you mean!
Past, Awesome video
💕💕💕
Past products!
♥️♥️♥️
The wetline dried out my hair the first time. The same with eco in the past. I am a no-gel-soft-hold type of natural at this point. In my head of hair, crunchy hold equals breakage.
Totally agree. I don't use gels. If I want some definition I use the Asiam curling cream, it gives me good definition
@@daisyflower1545 Thank you. I haven't tried that before. I am definitely going to now.
@@msarieca you're welcome! Let me know how it works out if you can. Also make sure you use a clear leave in with it like the Asiam leave in, mielle pomegranate or sm low porosity leave in
@@daisyflower1545 Thanks I will.
PAST- I used to love Mielle custard but I just can't do it anymore. It was one of the first lines I tried when I went natural. Now I find it too gooey and sticky.
Yeah it definitely can get really sticky at times 😭
Great video! Mixed chicks is flake city for me!🚫🛑🚨
Oh no!!
PAST!!🚫 Omg where did you get your necklace?! I LOVE it😍 I’m Ethiopian as well and wanna support my country🇪🇹
Etsy! 💚💛♥️
Past!!
I had the gel and threw it for two reasons. One, it left my hair super dry and two, it contains a carcinogen called methylchloroisothiazolinone. It's very bad.
i have a curly hair problem that’s i don’t know ho to fix the roots of my hair is straight and there is no curl to it idk what to do
I would definitely suggesting seeing a hair stylist who specializes in curly hair!
I cannot stand that Wetline Xtreme gel- I really wanted to love it so much but it was just so flaky and dried out my Jaír overtime so much too!!
Glad I’m not alone! Thanks for watching!
PAST
What’s in your hair in this video? It looks so beautiful
Thank you! Check my description box ♥️
🚫 Past
I’m surprised you mentioned the shine spray. I cant think of anything I tried and no longer like, lol
Yeah I only mentioned it cause I realized I hadn’t used it yet all year but after doing this video I realized how much I loved it and how good it is!
Past!
PAST!!!!!!
♥️
Past......nice on present
🚫 Past**
My hair wasn’t holding moisture and it wasn’t just because of the curl smoothie but for some reason it made things worse. It didn’t moisturize my hair at all!!
Yeah I found that product just sits on top of my hair too! Thanks for sharing!
I know I can’t stand the smell and that’s what I’ve been using so I’m trying to find a different styler
Love it .... I made a hair channel also... I like looking at your to nice hair
Past!!!

I never could get that SM C&H smoothie (and souffle) to work for me and I never did like the scent Lol #past
Oh the soufflé is the worstttt 😭
🚫🚫🚫
I was just in Walmart yesterday and was saying how I’ve never tried the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. No not As I Am 😭. I have found other gelles and gels better than the As I Am. I just tried Wetline the other day and I’m not over the moon about it like everyone has been. I’ll stick to my other products.
Thanks for sharing sis! I’d say stick to your other products too!
Lydia Tefera Anytime Sis 😘. I’ll wait until you give me new recommendations 😇 #LydiaMadeMeTryIt

Past 🚫
I hate wet line. It’s toooo strong for my hair and drys it out. Idk why people use it, I’d have to wash my hair more with it also.
Yeah I had to deep conditioner my hair way more after using that gel
Past
Past!!!!!
Am i the only one that loves the smell of the shea moisture smoothie!?
I know a bunch of people who love it! So you’re not alone!
Past 🚫Omg, the overuse of that synthetic coconut smell is the worst. So many brands use it. Nauseating and overwhelming. I feel like the smoothie changed at some point. I don't like it anymore either. Wetline was drying af which mad me sad because it gives amazing shine and definition.
Super nauseating 😭 thanks for sharing!
Top 5 shine sprays please!!!
Sm smoothie never worked for me
Definitely past☺
Okay 💕💕💕
