Edit: Fyi, if you look underneath the product description of the Fermented Rice Ritual, it has a list of products that you can pair with it and the Reconstructing Treatment Mask is listed... So im confused lol 😅 Before anyone else calls me out for being an idiot: -yes, I know the Reconstructing Mask is not a conditioner. -no, I didn't realize that keratin was a protein. Lol...
No baby, we don't think you are an idiot. Great review. Your description of your experience is articulate and honest. All in all I think the products worked beautifully on your hair. I think it's alright for you to splurge on some of the products.....especially if a little bit goes a long way. Let us know how long the products last you.
1st Your not an idiot and you shouldn't think that way about yourself. And, yes you did mention you didn't know or understand it, that's honestly I know I can appreciate. I was just stating then don't talk negative about something you don't understand. What you say is just as important as how you say it. Maybe going forward as a tip, you can just not rate something or give your opinion on it like you stated due to lack of knowledge on it. If that makes sense.
Love this review. I saw your comment about the fermented rice ritual and reconstructing mask but my first thought while watching this was that your hair looks so healthy-, not bleached, fried or heat damaged so I doubt you even need any treatments. I understand why it would be a part of Beyoncé’s hair regimen because her hair is bleached. However, I’m so glad you gave each product a try and delivered one of the best reviews I’ve seen about the line. Void of any biases or judgements on what Beyoncé’s hair look like, its type, or how she wears her hair. That said after viewing this, if I was going to invest in a high end product from this line it would be the lotion and possibly the moisturizing conditioner. Maybe the oil if it’s a very good day. 😉 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏽
In my experience, protein makes your hair feel very hard, dry, and almost on the very of snapping so you have to use something extremely hydrating to balance it out. If you plan to use protein in the future, I would use your most trusted hydrating conditioner and then you'll see the after effects once you wash it out.
The massive tangling issue could still be an issue as a result of the PT. I find being more cautious about the kind of protein I use lessens the tangles. Keratin is a no for my hair.
I loved this review. Even though you hated the protein treatments, that still let me know they actually work to fortify the hair! And the fact that the deep conditioner brought your hair back let me know it actually balances and moisturizes the hair. Great review!
This is one of the best and most comprehensive reviews of this line. And you are one of the only hair influencers that I trust because you have the best and most complex head of hair on Beyonce's internet!
I’ve never commented before but I just wanted to say that after you used the rice protein you were supposed to use the deep conditioning mask not the reconstructing mask. The reconstructing mask is not a conditioner It’s a protein treatment. On the back of the jar the reconstructing mask says it’s not a conditioner. Just wanted to clarify why your hair still felt bad after using it., because you put protein on top of protein. You use the reconstructer on the days you don’t use rice water treatment. Love watching your hair journey.
@@lpgilber Thank you 🩷 I knew the Reconstructing Mask wasn't a conditioner but for some reason it didn't register with me that it was a protein treatment 😭 but now I know better. Thank you for encouraging me ☺️
@@SharmaineJoyel Keep this in mind re: product names - If it says reconstructing, restorative, or strengthening it’s TYPICALLY a protein treatment of some kind.
I used to watch a lot of 3c natural hair bloggers but after big chopping, I rediscovered my 4a/4b hair type and now I only feel the need to watch type 4 hair videos. I can’t thank you enough for showing us the possibilities if we just love our hair and let it grow!
Hi joy el I'm assia and im from Morocco im actually arabe African and I'm white I've never seen someone like me that's white and have 4 c hair I just want to tell you thank youuuuu for making me loving my hair and give me the courage to do my big chop 8 months ago i wnt to tell you that i really love you and thank youuuuu for making me more confident and happy ❤
My hair is protein sensitive. One time I had to cut two inches off because a protein treatment made my hair “seize up” and tangle so badly. Disaster. I learned never use a protein treatment unless my hair tells me it needs a protein treatment which is about 3 times a year. And I don’t leave it on long. Like 3 - 6 minutes.
Same thing happened to my hair a few years ago. I suffered from serious protein overload. I've since developed a hair protein phobia. Protein can be very damaging if you don't understand your type and how to use it. 😳
@@saphire2214 Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. I had a bad case of protein overload and my hair was rough, crispy, dry, brittle, breaking and downright horrible. It seems like it took me forever to reverse it. So now, I’m afraid of too much protein too and I watch for protein in products like a hawk lol. I definitely have a protein phobia lol.
This review was right on time!🙌🏽 I was debating trying out this brand and saw other reviews, but honestly you're the only hair vlogger I trust for my hair. Super helpful and def sames me money on the long end! Thanks girl!😊
I have 4c hair The shampoos are 10/10 ESPECIALLY the hydrating one. Def my fav. Loved the deep conditioner, lotion and oil. The smell!!! 10 out of 10. I have not used the protein or reconstructive treatment. So I can’t say anything about that. I got the fan bundle as well and I’m happy with my purchase
You and I have the same texture hair. And I learned that we don’t need protein treatments lol. I had the same awful experience with protein treatments. Your hair is already healthy with enough protein
i think you're supposed to use the reconstructing mask or the two protein treatment and not both in the same wash day, and definitely follow up with the deep conditoner after atleast thats what i read on their page when they use on clients. sounds like the two-step protein treatment was too strong :/
The rice rituals and the reconstructor (says on the jar it is not a deep conditioner) shouldn’t be used together, you can get protein overload! But I’m happy you liked the end result
I'm so confused because on the website underneath the product description for the Fermented Rice Ritual, it has a list of products to pair it with and the Reconstructing Mask is listed.. 😑
The unbrush is incredible. It reduced my hair wash routine down to a half hour. And I don’t have to detangle or pre-poo before I get into the shower either. Also washing my hair with diluted organic apple cider vinegar ‘with the mother’ has also made detangling my hair a breeze and cleans my hair and scalp without stripping it.
This was the review I was waiting on. You are the only person on the internet that I’ve found that have hair that is close to mine. I trust what you say. Thanks for this!
Love how calm you were while these products literally destroyed your hair, first and last time I’m ever buying it, so terrible! Fenty Hair is the way to go everyone!

I think the outcome should be credited to the treatments used. I believe that’s the reason the lotion worked so well. When I used both treatments (at separate times), my hair felt so strong and my 4c curls popped too, it’s like the protein treatment bonded and tightened my high porosity strands. I didn’t get the hard feeling, my hair felt so strong after the rice treatment yet soft and shiny, and the shrinkage was even more so, making it more healthy looking and curls restored leaving more definition in my curls. The rice treatment was my favorite in the line. I may have needed that treatment which is probably why I didn’t have a bad experience using it, however, I know not to use it too close together to avoid protein overload and really have hard hair for real. I love the setting lotion too and it’s my second favorite in the line. Your hair is absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed all the products, my 4c hair loves it.
You probably didnt need the protein treatments tbh...thats why it made your hair hard(protein overload). You should have just did the moisture deep conditioner. I get you wanted to do a full review of the whole line though so i appreciate it. People who need those repair treatments i think, are those like beyonce herself who have color treated hair and heat style often(at least once a month).
Hi Joy-el, I believe these products are marketed towards a strengthening system hence the rice water treatment. My daughter’s hair is very similar to yours but the smoothing lotion left her hair dry as a bone after it dried.
Miss Ma'am, you're gorgeous. I'm glad I found your channel. I prefer your live speaking over your added audio. 😅 it's hard to listen to dubbed talking with what one could call 😩 all throughout the video.😇 Your live facial expressions during each process was surprise and delight. It's ok to enjoy something and give details on what you enjoyed. It seems you want to revise history. 🌷🌷 You have a ton of hair so any wash day with deep conditioning treatments is probably exhausting for you.😢 You should have a family member to help you detangle during the hydrating shampoo. That slip looked so good on your hair. I've seen reviews where folks comb through during that time and then finger detangle the other applications. If you do it that way, you'll keep that definition. Also after shampooing, use the moisture repair and it's partner deep conditioner like the bottle says for under the dryer. The moisturizing lotion most girls end up not needing that much of it. But it and then the oil looks amazing. I hope you use this approach on your next wash n go videos.🥰🥰
Isn't it crazy how many steps we will go through for self care routines? 😅love the way you really describe everything especially the smells and product feels ❤glad you found some things you do like!!! Xo
This was a good, in-depth video and I loved it. But to use all of the products in one shampoo day takes a whole day, lol. I don’t invest that much time in my hair anymore. Your hair is beautiful, btw.
Such beautiful hair. I totally understand how you need so much more of step two of the rinse. Maybe you really did not need protein, but you do typically need to add a great conditioning treatment after use. I wonder how the reconstruction protein treatment will work in your hair without the rice treatment. Definitely too much protein in too short a period. I went about 8 weeks between trying them. Definitely loved the reconstruction so much more. The shine and hydration I felt after my wash day was chef’s kiss! I’ve had a tough time finding a line of products I love since my favorite was purchased by Revlon and then ruined. I’m hoping the conditioner will be super hydrating. The deep conditioner doesn’t make me feel my hair is as hydrated as I’d like. I’ll see how it works over time. Thank you for the review!
Your hair probably got protein overload. You should only use the treatment mask every 4-6 weeks it’s a lighter protein treatment! Give the rice and rose treatment to a friend or family member that loves protein treatments!
Hi love .. I enjoyed your review and you and your hair look amazing 💕I wanted to ask what is the Gadget you are using to rinse your hair in the shower ? Looks like something I need 😊
If you don’t understand how something works, how can you give a review on it. Any, and I do mean any protein treatment will make you and anyone's hair feel hard and dry. That's what it's supposed to do. Take Apogee, that protein treatment literally makes your hard crunchy hard especially after sitting under a hooded dryer and then once you rinse it out and use the conditioner your hair is super soft. You can't rate a product as not good when you don't even understand how it works.
It was an honest misunderstanding. I don't claim to be a professional or hair guru; just someone experiencing their natural hair journey and still learning. I believe I stated in the video that I had read that protein treatments can make your hair hard, but it still took me by surprise since it was my first time experiencing that on my own hair. Thanks for your understanding.
