Custard is gel partner of a styler Twisting product is a heavier moisturizers for thicker or kinker textures Leave in is a light moisturizer that can be applied with the thicker product for ultimate / longer moisture Smoothie is the lighter option for more looser curls that don't like the weighted down feeling Just to clarify for newbies in the hair gang (gang, gang , gang) lol
That’s exactly why I got the twisting soufflé. Leave-ins are just that. Leave-in conditioners. You need a styling product after that. I’m trying Mielle to see if I can find anything as good as my honey child type 4 hair creme.
Yass so glad this is not the ordinary review that most RU-vidrs are doing. I wanna see/know the difference with all 4, cuz the way my bank account is set up, chile I aint gonna be able to get all 4 lol. I like this kind of video versus the voice over, as your personality is BOMB.
The Leave in and smoothie are more like "layering" or "base" products. You would usually put your stylers on top of these. The Twisting cream and custard are more like "stylers" . (I put quotes on these terms because you are allowed to use these products have ever you plz)
Creams give definition to hair that doesn’t need a strong hold. Creams give u a soft and voluminous wash n go. While gels give you more of tamed sleek kinda look. I prefer creams over gels for my wash n gos
I'm glad that you showed us all 4. Although the leave in was not an actual "styler" it was still beneficial to actually see what it does. I think sometimes we get too focused on labels and instructions that we forget to "do our own thing." Hey someone may only have a leave in in their closet and thinks she can't achieve a twist out just because she doesn't have a "styler"...and thanks to your video, we can clearly see it's achievable. Not perfect, wont last as long- but still not impossible. Sometimes we need to just relax and LIVE. Great job!
I actually just tried the curling custard this wash week and so far so good ! It does say on the container to use the mint oil (or any oil ) before using it to prevent flakes so in all fairness I think it’s worth a try using it the way they suggest. I have been a huge fan of the twisting soufflé since it can out and I can get a whole week out of my twist out ! Thanks for the review 🙂
I have the entire line as well. The curling custard flakes soooo much! i just use the leave in with the twisting souffle on dry, stretched hair and i have awesome results for my flat twist out
I just recently tried their Leave-In along with the Twisting Souffle and it left alot of flakes in my freshly washed hair. Unfortunately I had to throw these products away. My hair felt like straw after my hair dried. I'm really disappointing in the results especially after all the major hype. :/
CrownJewels Oh no you threw it away. You could have returned it. So you used the leave in conditioner with the soufflé? I’m surprised it left flakes. Was this only two products used on wet hair. Thanks I may reconsider getting it..
I used the curling custard and it flaked so much on my freshly washed hair. I really wanted these products to work. I am very disappointed and I bought the whole line. It smells great was the only plus.
AqsoulX I tried the soufflé on my daughters hair at night braiding it in plats. It smells amazing and really moisturized her hair and left her hair amazing. Then again, I used my own leave in conditioner I made and then the soufflé. Btw the baby is 2 y/o.
Bria I appreciate the multi product review. However, to review a leave-in conditioner as a styler doesn't makes sense because everyone knows that you would layer the leave-in with another product and not use it as a styler
damphatty I was thinking the exact same thing I just bought the pomegranate and honey leave in and smoothie today because I was going to use them in conjunction with each other, when she said she was testing all 4 as stylers I said PAUSE lmao
I tried the leave-in and the curl smoothie, I love both. I have 4C thin hair with low porosity. I do the LCO method: liquid (water), conditioner (mielle, only 1 at the time) then oil (coconut). I do NOT experience flaking. My hair is moisturized for days. Mielle is honestly the first line i LOVE.
@@sabraabraham253 nope but now I do it on damp hair. I wash my hair, remove water excess with a t-shirt, apply the leave-in, then the oil. The oil seals the hydratation so your hair can't be dry when you apply it. Sorry for the long answer 😅
This was a good idea for a video. We don't get to see this type of video. It's really good for any naturalista or new naturalista. Great and infornative video.
i know this is old but i love that you reviewed each product because sometimes i don’t like layering my products including the leave in which actually keeps my hair moisturized and defined for at least a week and just spray it with some water and a apply a little bit more of the same product and make it stretch for another week
This has to be the most informative video I have found as a newbie in this thing I am so tempted to buy everything thing in a product line and use them all together thinking I need to, but after seeing this looks like you just have to find which styler works for your hair and then use a leave in conditioner/oil. Am I right??
Use a ton of castor oil and your favorite leave-in conditioner with any gel or custard and you will never see a flake. I coat my strands with castor after my final rinse and after my leave-in. Flakes be gone. Good luck.
the bottles usually state the kind of definition you will get so im not surprised by the results. Leave-ins are essentially stylers with no hold. some ppl use them after a rinse out conditioner if they feel they need a primer with more moisture prior to styling. the smoothie is meant for soft definition and more volume or for ppl with finer hair that don't use a lot of product. the twisting souffle is a lot thicker and has a semi-deep definition which some ppl prefer for twist outs and braid outs. the custard gives more definition and ppl tend to use it for wash-and-go styles. you tend to see a film or gel cast if you use it with a leave in or if you use a lot of the product on the hair
I used the custard after applying the leave in and oil and saw a ton of flaking a few days later. Can that happen from applying too much of the custard or leave in? Or could the oil have been the issue?
@@jocelyndeloney I would follow the instructions on the packaging. You can use with just leave in and custard or use the custard alone. If u used too much of either you will get flaking. The oil isn't necessary there is already oil formulated in the leave in and custard. The extra oil will likely decrease the definition you want to achieve if you are doing a wash and go
I agree, I just recently bought the entire line and had so much flaking...I'm snowing! The custard is a no for me. I wish I would've watched this before my purchase.
I use the custard and soufle together and don't get many flakes but I always do it on wet hair despite what the directions say. I had more flakes with Eco styler gel. Great video, thank you for breaking down everything because it is hard for me to notice the difference when I try to compare myself and I don't want to be a product junky.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate the way you presented and the fact that you experimented with all of the products (I had them all in may amazon cart!!) and most importantly- THANK YOU for the update!!!!! YOU saved me from spending $80+ on a product that would have flaked the next day! BRAVO!
I really loved this video verses the voice overs ! 💜 this line wasn’t all that to me I’ve seen your hair come out so much better with different products. I’m interested in seeing the wash and go!
I really enjoyed how you demonstrated each product separately. I have so many of these products and I'm not sure what is what. Are they used together or can be used separately. Sometimes when I use together my hair is too heavy. So thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this! I just bought the custard and smoothie yesterday and I was wondering what the difference is. NEEED to see that wash and go with the custard!
Thanks for the tutorial! I did wonder about all the different products and the difference each one has on the hair! You nailed it! I was trying it for the first time. I brought the spray white leave in conditioner and the white cream soufflé! I did a twist out on my daughter’s hair who works at a bank! However she decided to keep it twisted and wear in a ponytail! I’m trying to keep her from putting tracks in her hair! She wants to give her natural hair a break from the flatiron! You where very effective in your demonstration of the different products! Thanks a lot!!!
Love this video!!!! But I would say yeah the leave I'm def not a styler... I would use it with the Twisting soulfee its bomb and the smoothie with custard is good
Glad to have come across this video... I was super confused when I went to purchase a product from this line. I read all the details online and was like all them say basically the same thing. I went with the curling custards. I'm going to pair it with kinky curly knot today. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾I don't get flakes or a white cast or film.
Not me going in and out of the hair store yesterday three times trying to figure out what to get and what to leave. Glad I traded the curl smoothie for the mint oil.
I thought I liked the leave in but after using a whole bottle I realized it’s not moisturizing enough. I liked the Soufflé but it doesn’t have enough hold and I literally had to do my hair again the next day. I returned all the items after trying multiple times and not liking the results.
I like the new trial style of video... I love your hair and thank you for being honest... I was excited for the wash and go video until the bad new at the end
Thanks so much for this video! I just discovered the Mielle deep conditioner and I love it! So I'm researching the other products. Your video made it super easy to decide what product to try next.
Great review!!! very informative and allowed me to decide which product to get from this line. I was going to try the coiling custard from this line but I do not want the flaking so I'll pass. Thanks for sharing!
I also noticed you didn't wet your hair. These products work the BEST I've noticed, with wet hair. It will also help with the problem the residue you mentioned. I have used mielle and that is my go to. I rarely ever have product buildup. I think continue to wet and spray your hair as you did it, would have helped with your results. However, nice video
I have 4 different textures and curl patterns ranging from 2c-4a. Would this work on ALL textures and patterns without weighing my hair down or being too sticky?
Great review! Please do more talk through videos like this. Sorry that the custard caused flakes. I don’t know if I want you to do a wash & go video with the custard since it caused flakes for this twist out.
I bought the curling custard mos ago and it was flake city. I watched this video and heard her say it was the best 1 if wanted to try this line. I totally missed the last few seconds of the video I guess. Lol. Missed the cliffhanger at the end. Hehehe.
Omg same here lmao. I just tried the custard, had flakes and then rewatched to the end and was like "oooooh" 😦. Did you ever try the soufflé to see if it caused flaking?
Thanks for info! My hair does bad with anything with coconut oil, it just sits on top doesn’t penetrate through or moisturize, it makes it actually feel more dryer. Argan, Rosemary and flaxseed are my #1’s now :)
I thought I was the only person that could not figure that question out myself lol I asked the cashier at Sally's because brought all four but ir seem a bit to much.Overvall I love the products they are my go to products and smell so good # I'm addicted
I don't understand I have ordered the curly custard mielle pomegranate I have received the coily custard that has left me confused . What is the difference? I have 4a hair
@@jocelyndeloney Glycerin causes hair to become very frizzy, so it's not good to use when weather is humid. I get my best results from creams not custards.
A leave in conditioner is not considered as a styler. It’s a conditioner which means it’s meant to condition and moisturize your hair. Some leave in conditioners will control frizz and also define your curls but it won’t hold that. There is no hold in it. So it can’t be considered a styler which is meant to hold the style. ❤
Not impressed by Mielle, probably not for my hair type. After buying most of the products which did not work by the way; it turns out I just needed eco style gel and a comb. Spent over $100 and all I needed was a $2 gel and a $1 comb.
@@jocelyndeloney I should try it again, last year I didn’t know what I was doing. No custards worked as a WNG for me But now I have mastered my WNG and I now like custards.
@@jocelyndeloney I now combine my gels. In order for the custard or botanical gels to work the way I want them to I add a gel with a heavier hold on top of it to make it last.
