Cutting and Styling my Hair ✂️✨ | NOT a Tutorial
I like soft hold and not a lot of volume, I’m going to try it today since I own 808 but I’ve never used it. I’m am definitely a kinky curl girl my favorite.
Beautiful hair ❤️
Thank you ☺️☺️
❤❤
I love the definition. Tfs.
Looks really nice!!!
Thank you! I still love this gel, I’m on my third bottle lol
I enjoyed this video. You have a great stash. Tfs.
Thanks you! ☺️
The definition is crazy 👌🏾.
Beautiful braid out.
Thanks! I rarely do them because they don’t last long for me. But I love how they look 😅
I love the definition.
Those prices are definitely IT! 👌🏾😩😱😱👍.
Seriously! I even saw Melanin haircare at Burlington one time. You never know what you’ll find!
@@OpeningtheVault365 You definitely go at the right times.
Your skin looks great 😊.
The pink hair was too cute 🥰.
😍😍😍.
I hate to see natural hair products go 😩😩😪🥲🥲.
I know 😭 but I had to do it
@@OpeningtheVault365 It's for the best *dramatically sighs*.
I love your results. Tfs.
Your curls are super defined 👌🏾. Love that for you. Thanks for sharing ❤️.
Congrats 🎈 on the new job.
Thank you so much! It’s been going well so far ☺️
@@OpeningtheVault365 I'm glad to hear it.
I think your hair looks great with all the products! BUT, I think the Twisted Sistah Gel made your hair look incredible and gave it great movement. One of my fav products for the several years has been Kinky Curly, but I recently tried the Curl Maker, over Knot Today. That combo lasted 5 days for me (in some humidity) which blew me away. So it may have surpassed KCCC in my 3b/c hair world. Might try Twisted Sistah somewhere down the line. I know it doesn't get much love but my real holy grail is Tigi Curls Rock Amplifier and I save it for special occasions. Thank you for your in-depth look at these products. That was a lot of work. Great video!
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun filming it, but it was a lot of work lol. I haven't been able to find the twisted sista in a while, unfortunately, I hope I can pick some up this year. Kinky curly and the curl maker work so well! I'm glad you got a long-lasting wash and go with them. Ooh I haven't heard of Tigi Curls Rock Amplifier, how's the hold? I appreciate you for commenting and thank you so much for watching!!
@@OpeningtheVault365 I can't really describe the hold of Curls Rock. It's like a cross between a cream and a serum. It doesn't cast like a gel but it sure tames my frizzies for 3 -4 days, with a water refresh. And my curls are a little looser with this product. Also, I've just tried Jessicurl Spiralicious. That's also good stuff! Major cast but frizz-free on day 3 and going strong - lol!
Hey girlie, you are missing out on the best Doux product. I Stand for the Honey Curl Custard. I would love to see you try those two together 😍
Hiii 😊 I don’t use a lot of The Doux products, I haven’t had the best luck outside of the 808 gel. BUT I’ve seen soooo many people talk about the curl custard, so I’ll def pick it up one of these days. Thanks for watching 💕
@@OpeningtheVault365 I tried the Doux Honey Curl Custard. I don't know if I got an 'off' container (bought it at TJMaxx) but 1. I HATED the smell and 2. It didn't hold or define my 3b/c curls. I gave it several tries but ultimately tossed out 75% of the container, which I never do.
If the product works that's all that matters to me. I don't care about the scent
That’s great!
I'm intrigued by what your interview hairstyle looks like. Would you show that and the process?
Hi! The video with my interview hair is my “Dependable Products” video. It’s nothing super different, I just used products that give me the exact look I’m going for. I’ll tag it in this video if I haven’t already.
We have similar textures thank you for the amazing video
Aww thank you for watching!! ✨✨
I always get excited when i see a new video of yours ❤
Aw that’s so sweet. I appreciate you for watching ✨✨💕
Hi nice wash day❤
Heyy thank you ☺️✨
Your hair wash days are so soothing to me 😊 do you plan on keeping your blonde or growing it out now? This is the most I ever seen you let your roots grow in. ❤
Aww thank you! I think I’ll stay blonde for a bit or until I get bored of it 😅 but no plans on growing it out at the moment ☺️☺️ thanks for watching ✨
Super cute sis
Thank you! ✨
Looks like popcorn
I want to love the 808 gel, but so far I have not been able to pair it properly for a lasting hold.
Heard, botanical gels can be tricky. I suppose The Doux intended the 808 to be only a base layer, with the assumption that people would pair it either with a mousse or hard hold gel. I’ve seen some people use botanical gels as leave ins cause they only offer moisture and no hold 🤷🏾♀️ I hope you can find a way for it to best suite you! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 💕
@@OpeningtheVault365 I’m going to try Jello Shot. That’s my last hope. I’ve tried everything else that I like. Thanks again for the knowledge dear.
I want to bleach my hair too,lm glad to meet you on this channel.what’s your tips on how to mantain bleached hair as a beginner.
Hi 😁 I’m glad to meet you too. Welcome to the channel! My main tip is to stay consistent with strengthening products. I incorporate protein in either my pre-pop, shampoo, or deep conditioner. Sometimes all three products will have protein or just the deep conditioner. Whatever works for you stay on it 👍🏾 moisture is huge too, use very moisturizing products to style and listen to your hair. It’ll tell you if it needs more strength (if your hair feels or looks weaker) or more moisture (if your hair feels dry or brittle). It’s a balancing act but it’s so worth it. I hope that helps 💕 oh also, it might seem obvious, but be super gentle with your hair. I find that I can’t use combs or detangling tools the way I used to. Treat your hair like silk lol
I love this product
That’s awesome ☺️💕 that’s for watching!
Im interested in the mousse. Heard so many good things about it. Also need a sale to purchase because I'm broke 😊
Ooh I’ve also heard good things about the mousse. Sephora has the travel size regular mousse and palo santo mousse for $14, and Ulta has the regular mini. It might be a nice trial size ☺️ thanks for watching ✨
Your curls are really pretty! Sulfate free shampoo is best for our natural hair especially with color 😊 Adwoa shampoo is really good and AG Apple cider vinegar is a good non stripping clarifying shampoo
Thank you 😁 I actually really enjoy sulfate shampoos, for a few reasons, but its really based on personal preference. I’ve tried the Adwoa beauty blue tansy shampoo and that one is really good 💕
My hair doesn't like Pattern products either.
I thought it was just me with pattern leave in conditioner 😂
It’s interesting seeing so many people with similar experiences. Thanks for sharing ☺️
Didn't she sell her company Mielle ,to another race,ijs
Hi ☺️ I don’t really pick my products based on the brand’s business moves. I’ve tried LOTS of products and I’m narrowing down what I like based on how the product performs.
@@OpeningtheVault365 got it, I am the same way
Great video! Your curls are poppinggg! 🤩 I actually have this gel in my hair right now! It’s my second time using it and I really like it! I prefer a harder hold, so I topped the 808 with ecoslay jello shot both times and I got a very pretty result! 😊 I didn’t use a leave in, but I think I will try the knot today with this combo next time for added moisture! I’ve really been enjoying your content lately, tfs! ❤
Thank you! Omg I love that you’ve tried it ✨✨I like how you added the Jello shot to fit your needs. Thank you so much for watching 💕
Hey great video, that combo has your hair looking fantastic, I would definitely try this gel❤
Hi 😁 thank you so much. If you end up trying it def let me know how it goes ☺️ I appreciate you for watching
Hello 👋🏾. Ur hair looks 👀 absolutely amazing.
Hi 🙋🏾♀️ thank you so much ✨
i felt the same way abt pattern leave in 😫
It’s so unfortunate, I really wanted to like Pattern. Have you tried anything else from the line?
nah that experience turned me off the rest of the line, plus i wasn’t a fan of the scent
I haven't had success with mousee before. Can you tell me why you would choose Mielle over everyones fave The Doux before i purchase, please?
Yeah sure! The doux mousse is about $16 and I only have luck with it as a topper over gel. My wash and gos get frizzy after one day if I use it by itself or on top of a leave in. It also makes my hair and scalp pretty dry. The mielle mousse is $10, also works great as a topper over gel, but I can use it for a wash and go and get about 3 days. It’s more moisturizing on my hair and the definition is pretty nice. I have a video with the mielle mousse on my channel, I’m not sure how helpful it would be because mousse is tricky. I’ve only had luck with the mielle mousse and I think I just got lucky. I hope that’s helpful ☺️
Hi, beautiful results❤
Hi 😁 thank you!
Really pretty and curly
Thank you ☺️
I love your vlog. Congratulations on your new position🎉🫶🏽 I returned to work a month ago after having a major surgery in October. At first, it was difficult but each day, it gets better.
Thank you so much ☺️☺️✨✨ I’m so glad things are better after your surgery 💕 I know my first month back will be challenging but you’re so right, it gets better 😁
Great video ❤!
Thank you ☺️✨
Congrats 🎊 on the new position
Thank you so much 😁😁
The leave in sounds like it's similar to Mixed Chicks Leave In Conditioner. I use that only as a light styler and would never detangle with it either. Calling it a leave in conditioner is a bit misleading when the ingredients show polymers and pvp in it. Hopefully your hair bounces back bigger and better 💚
Hi ☺️ it’s funny that you mention mixed chicks because that’s one of my favorite leave ins, it has more slip for me and gives me insane definition. I think that’s why I’m so shocked by pattern. There has to be something else in it that doesn’t agree with my hair 😭 but I had a couple of good wash day and my hair is doing much better 💕💕 thanks you so much for watching
I love your hair! Honestly, I have never been able to get a decent wash and go,even when it was shorter. 😂 I can't wait until warmer weather to try again
Omg thank you! It took me a few years before I “mastered” the wash and go. I started back in 2019 😅 I’d love to know which combos you’re planning on trying 😁 thanks for watching!
The blonde,red, and cinnamon brown hair colors are the most damaging to our hair because it strips the color from your strands and sucks the moisture out. There's a price to pay for it, even though it looks gorgeous. Maybe it changed your porosity. Growing out my grays definitely changed my porosity and the products I have to use. I am still on the lookout for a good gel or custard
My hair was so balanced before 😪 I have a really good routine but these products dried my hair out 😭 I’m almost back to normal after a couple wash days so fingers crossed 🤞🏾
Hi, maybe those products are not for color treated hair. I think they are too harsh for your hair, be careful using them. I can see that it may have changed the texture of your hair a little bit. TFS
Hi ☺️ I’ll probably try them one more time and then toss if I get the same results. My hair is almost back to normal after a couple wash days but my ends are definitely due for a trim 😬 thanks for watching!
Hey thanks for the review❤
Of course ✨✨
I feel they might be for low porosity hair. I used their conditioner and shampoo and actually enjoyed them minus the smell . I used the gel with a leave in . Im feeling bad that a product riuned your hair hopefully its temporary.
I’ve definitely been hearing that the wash day products are much nicer, so I’m really glad you liked them! Using the gel as a leave in is really clever, just cut out the leave in 😅 my hair is doing better now, I appreciate the concern ☺️✨
