To be honest mama Lori let it out because I have looked into NUC before but then I heard you tell that story and was so disgusted now I refuse to give them my coin. Justice for Lori Anne!!
The way Lori said "gar-bage" had me rolling. We are here for flav! We come for the stories and the realness. And we love you. The #madcurlfam will watch you no matter the journey. That's what this whole life is...a journey and you all are more than just hair. Be blessed family and happy holidays 🎁🎆🎄
I really wasn't mad at the Mane Choice about not participating in Black Friday. They did do really good sales all year and black Friday is over hyped. I definitely agree about the decline in the natural hair movement. I think most naturals get it at this point. I love watching product reviews and even trying new products but all the releases and such take away the "magic" of it. At this point, it doesn't always feel about quality but about making our money.
I’m here for Flav! 🙋🏾♀️ I feel that you don’t get enough recognition from brands. Many of my holy grail products are M.A.D. CURLS recommendations. So, I can understand why you want to stop the free advertising. Now back to the products. I have to agree that the Mane Choice went overboard. That Exotic Cool laid gel was busted, but I really love the Cheers gelato. I was very disappointed by the Camille Rose lavender line, except the shampoo and the refresher spray, which I love. Thanks for always keeping it real. This video was awesome! 😊
Disappointing products of 2019 is naturally United curls didn’t like the cake batter or the gel honestly but I love the oil. Mielle moisture RX gel was terrible and drying on my hair. I dislike the Camille rose lavender collection as well but love the spray and shampoo. I dislike unfortunately the Soultanicals can’t believe it’s knot honey it was forming and very sticky smh. I also dislike natures little secret banana leave in, flaxseed gel, avocado cream only love the deep conditioners and shampoos and chocolate conditioner. Next year I’m only focusing on the brands I like and works for me. No more testing different brands. I know what works for me and I’m sticking to it. God bless the both of you 😊. Happy holidays
Ooh yes!!! I love the all black aesthetic & Tay’s black lipstick! The yearly disappointing products/brands video is one of my faves. I’m having my seasonal spell of migraines again so I definitely needed something to cheer me up & keep my mind off of it. Merry Christmas & happy holidays everyone!
I agree with your sentiments! I've been a certifiable product junkie for 4 years and I'm finally breaking free!😄 I'm happy to have so many choices, but now I feel we're being preyed upon. The main reason I feel that way is because as soon as these brands start to really grow, they COMPLETELY change their formulations. They use inferior ingredients and continue to charge the same prices, doing so many times under the guise of "We just changed our packaging". Lies... The lack of integrity in this industry is disheartening. But, thank you for your great content! I'll be watching. 😘
I've taken out oils and heavy butters from my hair care routine(I have very fine low density hair, thin) and trying to pick a few brands/products and rotate them. Sticking to shampooing, deep conditioner, leave-in and gel for styling. I continue to love your channel, but I can't lie, I miss the hair videos❤ #Progressin2020!
Greetings from Cuba! Something I’m grateful for in 2019 is finding your channel - it has been so useful to me this year. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re amazing! :)
I agree wholeheartedly about we already know what we like and that’s what we stick with. But whatever direction you go on this channel I will be watching!!! Much love to you both ♥️
Agreed. Of all the lines that I tried, I liked them all. But none of them were "Wow" to me. It's a good brand, but I dont think the products are worth the price for being "just good". I bought their Tropical Moringa line recently and really hope I will like it. I'm also looking to try their Cheers Gelato because QuinnRae raves about it, but I honestly have no high expectations. Their pills work really well though.
Yes and I love the Ancient Egyptian Twisting Gel .. but it makes me skeptical when a company is dropping line after line of the sameeee products just different variations of ingredients. Mane choice is great but it became too overwhelming to know what to purchase from them.
Yall really work great together and that is beautiful to see mother and daughter working and building together. 2020 is a great year for your channel. 🙌😍
#YallGoneGetThisTree I feel the same way about the Alikay Lemon 🍋 Line that Gel & Creme was soooo offffff I tried it then I haven’t gone back to it again. And all those Main Choice Products rolling out? What was that about thank god I never jumped on that wagon. I will say if I do see products that give y’all a bomb wash & go I do run to purchase them! 🤣 I’m trying to get better so my husband doesn’t kill me! I have 3 boys + hubby! 3 curly heads at home so I try a lot of products on my boys too but he says we don’t have enough heads for all the products I buy 🤣 Thank you for the video ladies y’all always deliver! I’ll be here no matter what that channel looks like come 2020 ❤️ y’all! #MADCurlsFam
These dark outfits and lipstick 😂 the drama. I love it. I just bought the MoKnowsHair treatment, haven't used it but I don't like the smell either so automatic non repurchase.
I truly love your channel and respect your progression, I feel the same way in terms of not getting credit and or money like a contract with brands is giving away your services so I totally agree. I live watching but now that I know and literally giving away products I’m in the same boat lol. Keep going, I like seeing what works and using products consistently is the true way to know also there’s workouts journeys we can be apart of or shopping for clothes, makeup or just chit chat discussions
Now that I think about it, I think The mane choice put out so many product lines in 2019 so they could sell their company. It actually sold to a Canadian company this November and is no longer black owned.
It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything. Power is to the person that sells the company, and it is all in how things are or have been negotiated, whether or not the existing lines keep their formulas or not.
Good info. Thanks for your honesty! That's why MAD stands above many of the rest. I notice many influencers are careful not to say anything too negative about brands (especially big brands) I guess because of sponsorship. That's another reason I love MAD because of your honesty and commitment to us.
I must definitely agree with you about the MC and the multiple new lines this year. I first used their original line and then Ancient Egyptian when staring my journey and nothing else for years and my hair was super healthy. They didn’t need to come out with so much and it did take away the exclusivity as you said. I do love the Cheers line more for the ingredients then anything. I was reaching for the shampoo and conditioner the most and the gel for protective styles more than wash n gos. I do feel they can improve the gel as for as the stickiness for a more successful and long lasting wash n go. I loved it because (I believe) the hops ingredient halted my shedding immediately and as long as I was using it weekly, I had practically NO shedding... extremely minimal shedding after detangling. I think it has great potential for wash n gos if they can possibly eliminate the sticky feel improving the gel performance. I have definitely been leaning a lot more toward simplicity... it was fun experimenting but I’m tired lol... I’ve narrowed it down to CurlSmith(all), NLS (all), Soultanicals dc and cowashes and Mielle’s Rosemary and Hawaiian Rx stylers as my top favs... my hair reacts best to those.
Eden Bodyworks Jojoba Monai deep conditioner is my holy grail! My hair is 4a/3c though, maybe that's why you didn't like it. But it was the only deep conditioner that detangles my hair with ease. I was buying it 3 at a time and the ingredients are bomb.
The Cheers Gelato is my favorite gel, second to Kinky-curly. Also the Gelato pairs well with many leave-in's. I will say I didn't try all of those other lines except Tropical Moringa, which I find it to be a bit drying❤
Yes!!!! The Mane Choice for 2019 was the Anastasia Beverly Hills and Norvina Eyeshadow palettes back to back releases for hair products!!! It was so overwhelming and I couldn't keep up. I tried Mo Knows Hair this week, my wash n go is so good, however, the smell is a bit overwhelming. The performance of the products are great, the smell, not so much.....Great video!!! Happy Holidays!!!!
I couldn’t agree more... when I stuck to one line consistently my hair was extremely healthy, thick and very long... it wasn’t until I started with heat too often and then trying a million different products that my hair started acting up.
I agree there is a significant difference in the sprayer on the new Alikay Naturals Lemongrass leave-in vs. the old one. I prefer the old one too. It puts out much more product with each spray.
The goth makeup is sending me😭😭 Thank yall for making this video though, because so many products are hyped (cause of lies or people not telling the truth to stay in good standing w the brand) and u try them and waste your money! Personally, my hair requires a lot already so I aint got time for that! So its great to have that heads up!
Happy New Year ladies! I am new to your channel and I think in this one video you gave us WAY MORE than a year's worth of useful information. I think this may only be the 3rd or 4th video I have watched and this one was the best one yet. It was actually confirmation for me. I am in the process of re-entering the loos natural world after nearly 15 years of being loc'd. I am currently in week 6 of the loc take down process. I started my loose natural journey after many years of creamy crack use in 1988, relapsed lol in 1992, then became creamy crack free in 1994. Loose natural from 1994-2005. There was little to no "natural" hair care products outside of pomades and some oils if you knew where to go, and when I loc'd in 2005 Miss Jessie's was Curve and their Curly Pudding was only available in salon and didn't yet have a label on the jar lol, and Carol's Daughter was the only other option. Thankfully I live in NYC so I had easy access to both. So long story short, while your followers appreciate all that you have done and will continue to do (myself included), my take home message and confirmation for me was what you said about pretty much leaving your hair alone and admitting that all of the manipulation was not best for the health of your hair. My hair is it's healthiest the less I do to it. The amount of 'product' out here is OVERWHELMING, and while I am thrilled many people of color are at the top of this market, frankly I think it is too much. So the other thing you said which I support wholeheartedly is that you mentioned that some of this is really all about the business/money grabbing aspect. I personally don't appreciate brands for which I need to purchase an entire line for it to "work" right. Anyway I've said more than enough. Just wanted to let you know I'm glad I stumbled across your videos and I look forward to seeing what your 2020 will look like.
Great product review, have saved a few dollars for my pocket. I have low density hair so silicone based products like Mo Knows Hair would not be good for me. Still trying to find the perfect brands and product combinations. 🥰
#yallgongethtistree 🎄 Merry Christmas M.A.D. CURLS! I’m wishing you both a joyful holiday with your family. I’m so happy to see things turning around for you and hope that you prosper in every way in 2020 💕 I will continue to watch you both no matter what direction you take your channel.
I don't understand how people could be upset about a brand dropping too many lines. We went from having no options to too many? You don't have to buy them 😑
You hit the nail on the head with mane choice 😂. It's too insane to keep up with the lines and too much. They now have a lotion and body wash coming out on their website. Sigh . will not be spending any money.
@@brwnhilarybanks9953 my point is that they have a lot of different product lines. I used Sheamoisture Manuka & Honey line yesterday. I also like the 100% Coconut line. The Purple Rice leave in is excellent. I am on the hunt for my holy grail products. I know it's apple cider vinegar and a new addition is hot oil treatments using castor oil weekly.
Absolutely ladies I’m over the product switching and I have been natural for 2 + years and I’m over it have my favorites and sticking with but always like your likes and dislikes. I watch some tutorials but definitely not as many. I mostly like the like and dislikes with any products not just hair. Looking forward to your changes. 😊😊👍🏼
#yallGonnaGetThisTree 😆 🎄. I had a bit of a disappointing experience with Honey’s handmade but I’m gonna give them another try. The Camille rose lavender collection works really well for me. Thank you for all the amazing content, honest & unfiltered reviews, and just being awesome through this year! May God continue to bless you - Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Here’s looking forward to 2020 🍷 (it’s a Shirley temple 😎).
I totally get it about slowing down on using product after product. I have fine but curly hair and quite a bit of it and I cannot just put anything in it, esp'ly when wearing my hair curly ... it will break off like nobody's business. That's one of the reasons I go between straight and curly (cannot stand to see too much breakage and too much protein is just too much for my hair). I think i like Lori, moreso on the dry look for more softness/fluffiness. I can literally just rinse out my condition, twist it up and like the results from that, i get the fluff, the softness/fullness! I'm cool with that, maybe a little product. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!!
The Mane Choice went crazy in 2019....my favorite lines are still the original, moringna and heavenly halo. The Alikay lemon grass gel was terrible....I had to wash that out of my hair the same day I put it in. You know I am a Camille Rose fan, but I agree, I did not like the lavender line. I gave my lavender line away too. I too was not crazy about the Eden Bodyworks Jojoba/Monoi DC, I gave that away too. I am very discriminate now with my coins when purchasing hair products. Whatever your channel becomes, I will be there with you......happy New Year MadCurls.
I stopped being a pj because I hated trying new black owned products only for it to leave my hair dry and brittle and breaking. I had an arguement with someone because I said I like Ouidad products. I was told I was a slave for not supporting black owned brands. Listen, im not opposed to black owned hair brands but if their shit sucks in my hair then im not repurchasing just because it's black owned. I recently revisited kinky curly products and they are now my holy grail and the only products I use. Sorry for my language.
Tay can you please do a new video on your braiding technique? I know you did one originally when you first started, but your hair is looking better and better so I'm assuming you've learned more. I just recently started doing braid outs. Sometimes it comes out cute and sometimes it doesnt. Thanks so much!
Loved the video! I've pretty much loved most everything that I got this year except for Curls blueberry line. Can't wait to see what you guys do in 2020. You already know I'm here for the Flav 😂 #YallGoneGetThisTree
I was disappointed in the African Pride Pre-poo. It made my hair feel dry. But my other disappointment was the Soultanicals Knot sauce. It made my hair feel product in detangling. So I use water, aloe juice, oil and Shea Moisture detangler. That works for me.
I thought I was the only person on earth that hated that pre poo and knot sauce. My daughter hair however loves them both so not a total waste. I'm 4c and she is a 3b4a
My disappointing products were the TGIN honey hair mask (new formula). The old formula was pure magic now its just a decent deep conditioner. Ailikay naturals is on my list as well. I wasn't impressed with the deep conditioner & surprisingly I didn't like the smell of their products. Thankfully I only ordered sample sizes so not much lost there. For 2020, I'm keeping my hair routine simple and consistent. Sticking to products that I know work for me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!! #Hereforflav
The not your mother’s curl talk 3 in 1 conditioner was a COMPLETE fail for me. I used it as a cowash & that thang left my hair so frizzy & tangled. It was a mess. GIRL... I was so mad. Never again will I be trying a NYM’s product 🙅🏽♀️. All natural & curly girl friendly my behind 😂😂😂
I got the tree, I'm here for Flav!!!! My disappointment was actually with Curlbox! I was in excited anticipation each month only to be let down with meh products to try. I finally was "brave" enough to cancel my subscription, facing my FOMO, and realizing enough is enough. I have products to last me into 2025, or some to sell if need be 😄😄
Merry Christmas, this was entertaining as I cooked this morning! Love how you keep it real and I’m here for the flav! My disappointment for this year was the tre luxe line, it just doesn’t do it for me. I used it with the dyson, I have to try it alone. It was expensive so I hope it gets better. Oh and the aunt Jackie’s grape seed power wash made my hair like straw, it took a while to recover 😩
Thanks for Sharing ladies! Yeah I feel y’all on the buying products hype. This year I tried more products than ever before but I feel like I’m finally solidifying the things that work for my hair and no longer interested in the hype of buying products. Some disappointing products have been Miche beauty DC ( I have to add olive oil to it ) Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk too heavy and not super abortive at first and doesn’t moisturize for long enough, Tangle Teezer Ultimate Dentangler Brush ?just no - I want to have hair)
Yes That Cantu conditioner also did the exact samething to my hair two years ago!! I tried it twice and I gave up. That’s made my hair like straw also. But my daughter loves it! Yuck
This is why I typically buy hair products that I want to try or haven’t used before at Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Burlington and Ross! This way I get them on clearance or discounted. And if I end up liking them then I’ll buy them again. If I don’t like them then I’m thankful I didn’t spend too much and I’ll give the products away to my clients. The Marshall’s in my area had SOO many Mane Choice products on clearance that I was able to get them for like 25-50% off! I’m a bargain shopper to the max lol 😊
I love the Ouidad moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for curls with the white and blue label. My hair feels moisturized and detangled after using the products. The product that didn't work for me was the Devacurl stretch cream. It made my hair dry and it didn't stretch it. I look forward to seeing your videos in 2020!🤗❤
I assumed TMC opted out of BF because of the sell of the business. That Canadian company does not care about BF lol NUC boasted on FB recently about how amazing they are at resending packages that had issues lol
My worst product and company was PLENTIFUL. I found those products on a youtube video recommendation. I liked the products. Worked pretty good for my hair BUT the next month they sent me the same set of products and charged me. Like an infomercial. I’m like wait a minute. Did I sign up for a subscription. I went back on their site to access my account. No where was there a place to access your account. I sent 3 emails and they never got back to me. I had to cancel my card before the end of the month. I went back to the video that shilled it to me and left a comment. I seen a couple of people in the comments having the same or similar problems. A shame because they were good products. They messed up right out the gate. Happy New Year lovely ladies!!!!
I love the black funerary fashion! 🙌🏾🖤 Never liked Mane Choice. I heard she sold the company, but I haven't found any article(s) about it. Someone said there's an announcement in their/her IG (I haven't seen it; she did post an announcement that she's partnering with a company to create a fund for Black women entrepreneurs). My disappointing products in 2019 were from Adwoa. Love the shampoo and the oil, but the rest all have glycerin high up on the ingredients list. My hair starts out moist & defined but quickly poufs and dries out 😕
The Mane Choice was acquired by a Canadian Brand in Nov. Idk if that had anything to do with it but I definitely agree that they came out with too many lines.
I’m a new subscriber. However, I feel the same way about brands and over saturation of lines. I had an over abundance of products about 3 years ago and then I got diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m cancer free now but I lost ever strand of hair 2 weeks after my 1st Chemo treatment. So I gave boxes & boxes of products away. Now I only use what worked as my hair grew back. I’m grateful for every strand who returned to the scene of the crime 😂😂😂 Simplicity is now my mantra. But I’m watching for a new shampoo & co wash.
Yes to this video ladies..... I totally agree I'm over all these new lines every other week dropping... TMC was doing the most in 2019 and Black Friday didn't collect not one coin from me... 😁😁😝 I'm over whelmed with all the stuff I have already used and new... I just couldn't justify buying more products... Well I did get the Adowa box from curlbox but that was it... I always wanted to try that line... 🤗🤗😉 I'm with you ladies.... 2020 is the year of consistency... Growth and healthy hair.... now I need to unsubscribe to all these hair companies 😁😂😂😂✌🏿
I am so done with all the different natural hair products that is released every week. I am doing DIY this whole year... 2020 making changes. I'm done store hopping for products...
well mane choice just landed a deal with ulta. so i am sure new lines will be made and put there. i am a sole believer of not spending if i don't want to. anyway my disappoints were the also the lemongrass line, the moisture rx gel , do it fro the culture gel that came out last year, the prickly pear custard, bounce curl clumping cream.i didn't try as many new products this year. i did but it was a smaller amount. i was more focused on finishing what i have so i can have more empties 2019. I also decluttered 2 bags worth of unused products and one time use products and gave those to shelters.
I tried the eco slay line because I saw your tutorial 🙈 the top of the shampoo bottle came in broken, I don’t like how everything needs to be refrigerated but the orange marmalade and the banana cream are products worth a try in a mini size. The Cantu cream SUCKS!! it didn’t do anything for my hair either 😫 and made it worst! Thank you for this video, I think that before buying new products, I will use what I have and wait for your 2020 worst products video 🤗
Yeah I was kinda salty about mane choice not doing a Black Friday sale, they did advertise certain stores that carry mane choice who were having general sales, Walgreens and Walmart, & Sally’s, which I ordered a slew of mane choice products from only to have my order completely cancelled😫. I must’ve checked the mane choice website 50x over the Black Friday/cyber Monday weekend; total madness😩 but I haven’t given up, I need the tropical moringa and eygyotian lines and I determined, just can afford it full price, so I’ll be on the look out for the next great sale😆
Hello ladies, you look lovely. I tried the Kink Drink by Soultanicals because of you and was very disappointed with the sprayer that I don’t want to try it again. The service was excellent but the replacement sprayer didn’t work either. I was so excited to try the product. I did put it in another spray bottle to use the product. Side note. I miss going live with everyone.
The spray bottle on the Soultanicals is terrible...mine stopped working after two sprays...I had transfer the product to a different spray bottle as well.
Tay I’ve been wondering where I’ve seen your smile before because your have a familiar looking face and then I realized your smile is similar to a younger raven symone. That’s a compliment btw
I purchased a product and the container arrived broken but guess what the owner did?? She automatically refunded my money. I didnt even have to ask and I only emailed her to let her know that she should add a filling. So guess what that company will have moving forward??! A loyal customer. Customer service is very big to me and if you are going into business please learn how to master it.
I remember trying the Cantu Deep Conditioner masque a couple years back and having the same exact experience. It didn't penetrate my hair at all and my hair felt so matted and dry afterwards! I also ordered 'The Mane Choice Eygptain Shampoo' online and I was pretty convinced they sent me a fake product that had dish soap in it as it was sooo drying and left my hair squeaky. But I guess that's just how the product is...😖😅

Y'all are more than just hair. The channel should grow. Y'all know I'm here to stay.
Aray Brown Thank you, Fam 😘
The way Lori said "gar-bage" had me rolling. We are here for flav! We come for the stories and the realness. And we love you. The #madcurlfam will watch you no matter the journey. That's what this whole life is...a journey and you all are more than just hair. Be blessed family and happy holidays 🎁🎆🎄
I agree with you about the recognition, even youtubers copy you guys and don't give credit! There are so many natural hair award videos this year...
yupppp
I really wasn't mad at the Mane Choice about not participating in Black Friday. They did do really good sales all year and black Friday is over hyped. I definitely agree about the decline in the natural hair movement. I think most naturals get it at this point. I love watching product reviews and even trying new products but all the releases and such take away the "magic" of it. At this point, it doesn't always feel about quality but about making our money.
I’m here for Flav! 🙋🏾♀️ I feel that you don’t get enough recognition from brands. Many of my holy grail products are M.A.D. CURLS recommendations. So, I can understand why you want to stop the free advertising. Now back to the products. I have to agree that the Mane Choice went overboard. That Exotic Cool laid gel was busted, but I really love the Cheers gelato. I was very disappointed by the Camille Rose lavender line, except the shampoo and the refresher spray, which I love. Thanks for always keeping it real. This video was awesome! 😊
I love the Cheers Gelato also.
Disappointing products of 2019 is naturally United curls didn’t like the cake batter or the gel honestly but I love the oil. Mielle moisture RX gel was terrible and drying on my hair. I dislike the Camille rose lavender collection as well but love the spray and shampoo. I dislike unfortunately the Soultanicals can’t believe it’s knot honey it was forming and very sticky smh. I also dislike natures little secret banana leave in, flaxseed gel, avocado cream only love the deep conditioners and shampoos and chocolate conditioner. Next year I’m only focusing on the brands I like and works for me. No more testing different brands. I know what works for me and I’m sticking to it. God bless the both of you 😊. Happy holidays
Ooh yes!!! I love the all black aesthetic & Tay’s black lipstick! The yearly disappointing products/brands video is one of my faves. I’m having my seasonal spell of migraines again so I definitely needed something to cheer me up & keep my mind off of it. Merry Christmas & happy holidays everyone!
Feel better soon.
Valerie Isidore Thanks, Valerie! ☺️🙏🏾
Sorry girl. I get migraines also and it's horrible. I'd rather have cramps. Hope you feel better soon!
I agree with your sentiments! I've been a certifiable product junkie for 4 years and I'm finally breaking free!😄 I'm happy to have so many choices, but now I feel we're being preyed upon. The main reason I feel that way is because as soon as these brands start to really grow, they COMPLETELY change their formulations. They use inferior ingredients and continue to charge the same prices, doing so many times under the guise of "We just changed our packaging". Lies... The lack of integrity in this industry is disheartening. But, thank you for your great content! I'll be watching. 😘
I've taken out oils and heavy butters from my hair care routine(I have very fine low density hair, thin) and trying to pick a few brands/products and rotate them. Sticking to shampooing, deep conditioner, leave-in and gel for styling.
I continue to love your channel, but I can't lie, I miss the hair videos❤ #Progressin2020!
Greetings from Cuba! Something I’m grateful for in 2019 is finding your channel - it has been so useful to me this year. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re amazing! :)
La Maravilla Latina Thank you so much! ❤️
I’m so happy that my Target finally got Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic.
My Target finally got the UFD curly magic also! It's my favorite gel.
I've tried several stylers over the years but I keep returning to uncle funky's daughter curly magic.
#madcurlsmademedoit
I absolutely love UFD's products!
I agree wholeheartedly about we already know what we like and that’s what we stick with. But whatever direction you go on this channel I will be watching!!! Much love to you both ♥️
Lorianne "Garbage"....UNC response was disgusting. You cant mess with M.A.D CURLS family🙅🏽♀️. We love you guys. 😘 Merry Christmas 🤗
Mane choice to me is over hyped. It's whatever to me.
Agreed. Of all the lines that I tried, I liked them all. But none of them were "Wow" to me. It's a good brand, but I dont think the products are worth the price for being "just good". I bought their Tropical Moringa line recently and really hope I will like it. I'm also looking to try their Cheers Gelato because QuinnRae raves about it, but I honestly have no high expectations. Their pills work really well though.
Yes and I love the Ancient Egyptian Twisting Gel .. but it makes me skeptical when a company is dropping line after line of the sameeee products just different variations of ingredients. Mane choice is great but it became too overwhelming to know what to purchase from them.
Yall really work great together and that is beautiful to see mother and daughter working and building together. 2020 is a great year for your channel. 🙌😍
Why is it, I am just discovering your channel!!? I have subscribed and look forward to watching in 2020.
Happy New Year
Welcome to our channel and the M.A.D.CURLS FAM! ❤️ Happy New Year! 🎉
#YallGoneGetThisTree I feel the same way about the Alikay Lemon 🍋 Line that Gel & Creme was soooo offffff I tried it then I haven’t gone back to it again. And all those Main Choice Products rolling out? What was that about thank god I never jumped on that wagon. I will say if I do see products that give y’all a bomb wash & go I do run to purchase them! 🤣 I’m trying to get better so my husband doesn’t kill me! I have 3 boys + hubby! 3 curly heads at home so I try a lot of products on my boys too but he says we don’t have enough heads for all the products I buy 🤣 Thank you for the video ladies y’all always deliver! I’ll be here no matter what that channel looks like come 2020 ❤️ y’all! #MADCurlsFam
These dark outfits and lipstick 😂 the drama. I love it. I just bought the MoKnowsHair treatment, haven't used it but I don't like the smell either so automatic non repurchase.
I truly love your channel and respect your progression, I feel the same way in terms of not getting credit and or money like a contract with brands is giving away your services so I totally agree. I live watching but now that I know and literally giving away products I’m in the same boat lol. Keep going, I like seeing what works and using products consistently is the true way to know also there’s workouts journeys we can be apart of or shopping for clothes, makeup or just chit chat discussions
Now that I think about it, I think The mane choice put out so many product lines in 2019 so they could sell their company.
It actually sold to a Canadian company this November and is no longer black owned.
Whaaaat???
@@jusgie yes girl. You read that right
@brina2254 .... r u serious?! 😳 Oh no! The brand is going to end up like Shea Moisture & Carol’s Daughter 🤦🏽♀️
It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything. Power is to the person that sells the company, and it is all in how things are or have been negotiated, whether or not the existing lines keep their formulas or not.
@@amixeblu That's what they all say. Meanwhile, the products change anyway.
Good info. Thanks for your honesty! That's why MAD stands above many of the rest. I notice many influencers are careful not to say anything too negative about brands (especially big brands) I guess because of sponsorship. That's another reason I love MAD because of your honesty and commitment to us.
56 mins!😍
Love the honesty! & YAS thumbnail! Lol
I must definitely agree with you about the MC and the multiple new lines this year. I first used their original line and then Ancient Egyptian when staring my journey and nothing else for years and my hair was super healthy. They didn’t need to come out with so much and it did take away the exclusivity as you said. I do love the Cheers line more for the ingredients then anything. I was reaching for the shampoo and conditioner the most and the gel for protective styles more than wash n gos. I do feel they can improve the gel as for as the stickiness for a more successful and long lasting wash n go. I loved it because (I believe) the hops ingredient halted my shedding immediately and as long as I was using it weekly, I had practically NO shedding... extremely minimal shedding after detangling. I think it has great potential for wash n gos if they can possibly eliminate the sticky feel improving the gel performance.
I have definitely been leaning a lot more toward simplicity... it was fun experimenting but I’m tired lol... I’ve narrowed it down to CurlSmith(all), NLS (all), Soultanicals dc and cowashes and Mielle’s Rosemary and Hawaiian Rx stylers as my top favs... my hair reacts best to those.
Eden Bodyworks Jojoba Monai deep conditioner is my holy grail! My hair is 4a/3c though, maybe that's why you didn't like it. But it was the only deep conditioner that detangles my hair with ease. I was buying it 3 at a time and the ingredients are bomb.
The Cheers Gelato is my favorite gel, second to Kinky-curly. Also the Gelato pairs well with many leave-in's. I will say I didn't try all of those other lines except Tropical Moringa, which I find it to be a bit drying❤
Thank You for your review, very helpful, customer service is important, I enjoyed 2019 throughly with you ladies, Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Merry Christmas girls! 🤗 I really didn't expected certain of these products to be in this list 🤯
I love you ladies... thank you for the truth about the products and I’m excited for 2020 & all
the new M.A.D CURLS content!
Yes!!! Healthy hair journey can't wait to see this. Glad to hear you're changing things.
Yes!!!! The Mane Choice for 2019 was the Anastasia Beverly Hills and Norvina Eyeshadow palettes back to back releases for hair products!!! It was so overwhelming and I couldn't keep up. I tried Mo Knows Hair this week, my wash n go is so good, however, the smell is a bit overwhelming. The performance of the products are great, the smell, not so much.....Great video!!! Happy Holidays!!!!
Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Gel was very drying to me. Great video... Can't wait to see what 2020 brings. 💕
I couldn’t agree more... when I stuck to one line consistently my hair was extremely healthy, thick and very long... it wasn’t until I started with heat too often and then trying a million different products that my hair started acting up.
I agree there is a significant difference in the sprayer on the new Alikay Naturals Lemongrass leave-in vs. the old one. I prefer the old one too. It puts out much more product with each spray.
The goth makeup is sending me😭😭
Thank yall for making this video though, because so many products are hyped (cause of lies or people not telling the truth to stay in good standing w the brand) and u try them and waste your money! Personally, my hair requires a lot already so I aint got time for that! So its great to have that heads up!
Happy New Year ladies! I am new to your channel and I think in this one video you gave us WAY MORE than a year's worth of useful information. I think this may only be the 3rd or 4th video I have watched and this one was the best one yet. It was actually confirmation for me. I am in the process of re-entering the loos natural world after nearly 15 years of being loc'd. I am currently in week 6 of the loc take down process. I started my loose natural journey after many years of creamy crack use in 1988, relapsed lol in 1992, then became creamy crack free in 1994. Loose natural from 1994-2005. There was little to no "natural" hair care products outside of pomades and some oils if you knew where to go, and when I loc'd in 2005 Miss Jessie's was Curve and their Curly Pudding was only available in salon and didn't yet have a label on the jar lol, and Carol's Daughter was the only other option. Thankfully I live in NYC so I had easy access to both. So long story short, while your followers appreciate all that you have done and will continue to do (myself included), my take home message and confirmation for me was what you said about pretty much leaving your hair alone and admitting that all of the manipulation was not best for the health of your hair. My hair is it's healthiest the less I do to it. The amount of 'product' out here is OVERWHELMING, and while I am thrilled many people of color are at the top of this market, frankly I think it is too much. So the other thing you said which I support wholeheartedly is that you mentioned that some of this is really all about the business/money grabbing aspect. I personally don't appreciate brands for which I need to purchase an entire line for it to "work" right. Anyway I've said more than enough. Just wanted to let you know I'm glad I stumbled across your videos and I look forward to seeing what your 2020 will look like.
Great product review, have saved a few dollars for my pocket. I have low density hair so silicone based products like Mo Knows Hair would not be good for me. Still trying to find the perfect brands and product combinations. 🥰
#yallgongethtistree 🎄
Merry Christmas M.A.D. CURLS! I’m wishing you both a joyful holiday with your family. I’m so happy to see things turning around for you and hope that you prosper in every way in 2020 💕
I will continue to watch you both no matter what direction you take your channel.
I don't understand how people could be upset about a brand dropping too many lines. We went from having no options to too many? You don't have to buy them 😑
It is hard for people to keep up with and choose what to try. Having product choices hasn't been a issue for a minute.
@@Eveningbreeze721 so then find a company with fewer lines! it is so simple!
agreed
You hit the nail on the head with mane choice 😂. It's too insane to keep up with the lines and too much. They now have a lotion and body wash coming out on their website. Sigh . will not be spending any money.
I'm here for all of this 😊
Sheamoisture overloads customers with different products. 27 is a bit much.
thats not true. they barely did anything this year.
@@brwnhilarybanks9953 I didn't say this year. I mean cumulative.
@@VIsidore oh well we can always not buy it. in the end they are a business.
@@brwnhilarybanks9953 my point is that they have a lot of different product lines. I used Sheamoisture Manuka & Honey line yesterday. I also like the 100% Coconut line. The Purple Rice leave in is excellent. I am on the hunt for my holy grail products. I know it's apple cider vinegar and a new addition is hot oil treatments using castor oil weekly.
Absolutely ladies I’m over the product switching and I have been natural for 2 + years and I’m over it have my favorites and sticking with but always like your likes and dislikes. I watch some tutorials but definitely not as many. I mostly like the like and dislikes with any products not just hair. Looking forward to your changes. 😊😊👍🏼
#yallGonnaGetThisTree 😆 🎄. I had a bit of a disappointing experience with Honey’s handmade but I’m gonna give them another try. The Camille rose lavender collection works really well for me. Thank you for all the amazing content, honest & unfiltered reviews, and just being awesome through this year! May God continue to bless you - Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Here’s looking forward to 2020 🍷 (it’s a Shirley temple 😎).
I wanna try honeys handmade but I just can't bring myself to do it.
I totally get it about slowing down on using product after product. I have fine but curly hair and quite a bit of it and I cannot just put anything in it, esp'ly when wearing my hair curly ... it will break off like nobody's business. That's one of the reasons I go between straight and curly (cannot stand to see too much breakage and too much protein is just too much for my hair). I think i like Lori, moreso on the dry look for more softness/fluffiness. I can literally just rinse out my condition, twist it up and like the results from that, i get the fluff, the softness/fullness! I'm cool with that, maybe a little product.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas!!
The Mane Choice went crazy in 2019....my favorite lines are still the original, moringna and heavenly halo. The Alikay lemon grass gel was terrible....I had to wash that out of my hair the same day I put it in. You know I am a Camille Rose fan, but I agree, I did not like the lavender line. I gave my lavender line away too. I too was not crazy about the Eden Bodyworks Jojoba/Monoi DC, I gave that away too. I am very discriminate now with my coins when purchasing hair products. Whatever your channel becomes, I will be there with you......happy New Year MadCurls.
I stopped being a pj because I hated trying new black owned products only for it to leave my hair dry and brittle and breaking. I had an arguement with someone because I said I like Ouidad products. I was told I was a slave for not supporting black owned brands. Listen, im not opposed to black owned hair brands but if their shit sucks in my hair then im not repurchasing just because it's black owned. I recently revisited kinky curly products and they are now my holy grail and the only products I use.
Sorry for my language.
Tay can you please do a new video on your braiding technique? I know you did one originally when you first started, but your hair is looking better and better so I'm assuming you've learned more. I just recently started doing braid outs. Sometimes it comes out cute and sometimes it doesnt. Thanks so much!
Loved the video! I've pretty much loved most everything that I got this year except for Curls blueberry line. Can't wait to see what you guys do in 2020. You already know I'm here for the Flav 😂
#YallGoneGetThisTree
Merry Christmas M.A.D Curls! Love the naughty list of products thanks for looking out. 🎄🎀🎁
Hello beauties😊
Haven't even watched the whole video but already know I'm going to like it 👍 🙌
Y’all know I’m always here for flav! It doesn’t matter what y’all do, I’m definitely going to watch & support my curlfriends ❤️ #MADCURLSFAM
I was disappointed in the African Pride Pre-poo. It made my hair feel dry. But my other disappointment was the Soultanicals Knot sauce. It made my hair feel product in detangling. So I use water, aloe juice, oil and Shea Moisture detangler. That works for me.
I thought I was the only person on earth that hated that pre poo and knot sauce. My daughter hair however loves them both so not a total waste. I'm 4c and she is a 3b4a
My disappointing products were the TGIN honey hair mask (new formula). The old formula was pure magic now its just a decent deep conditioner. Ailikay naturals is on my list as well. I wasn't impressed with the deep conditioner & surprisingly I didn't like the smell of their products. Thankfully I only ordered sample sizes so not much lost there. For 2020, I'm keeping my hair routine simple and consistent. Sticking to products that I know work for me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!
#Hereforflav
Recently subscribed love your channel so far ...guess I’ll be binge watching old videos to catch up 🤗🤗
im glad u guys did this vid, for the end of year, so i know what not to get🙆🏽♀️ very much needed, Merry Christmas🎄🥰
I’ve been waiting on this video. Also have you guys tried the gray line from Jane Carter? If so what do you guys think about it?
The not your mother’s curl talk 3 in 1 conditioner was a COMPLETE fail for me. I used it as a cowash & that thang left my hair so frizzy & tangled. It was a mess. GIRL... I was so mad. Never again will I be trying a NYM’s product 🙅🏽♀️. All natural & curly girl friendly my behind 😂😂😂
I got the tree, I'm here for Flav!!!! My disappointment was actually with Curlbox! I was in excited anticipation each month only to be let down with meh products to try. I finally was "brave" enough to cancel my subscription, facing my FOMO, and realizing enough is enough. I have products to last me into 2025, or some to sell if need be 😄😄
Merry Xmas girls!! Y’all look so good!! 🔥🔥
Merry Christmas, this was entertaining as I cooked this morning! Love how you keep it real and I’m here for the flav! My disappointment for this year was the tre luxe line, it just doesn’t do it for me. I used it with the dyson, I have to try it alone. It was expensive so I hope it gets better. Oh and the aunt Jackie’s grape seed power wash made my hair like straw, it took a while to recover 😩
Thanks for Sharing ladies! Yeah I feel y’all on the buying products hype. This year I tried more products than ever before but I feel like I’m finally solidifying the things that work for my hair and no longer interested in the hype of buying products. Some disappointing products have been Miche beauty DC ( I have to add olive oil to it ) Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk too heavy and not super abortive at first and doesn’t moisturize for long enough, Tangle Teezer Ultimate Dentangler Brush ?just no - I want to have hair)
Yes That Cantu conditioner also did the exact samething to my hair two years ago!! I tried it twice and I gave up. That’s made my hair like straw also. But my daughter loves it! Yuck
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for your channel. Be safe, be blessed, and never stop being you. 🥰⚘🎄🎉⚘
This is why I typically buy hair products that I want to try or haven’t used before at Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Burlington and Ross! This way I get them on clearance or discounted. And if I end up liking them then I’ll buy them again. If I don’t like them then I’m thankful I didn’t spend too much and I’ll give the products away to my clients. The Marshall’s in my area had SOO many Mane Choice products on clearance that I was able to get them for like 25-50% off! I’m a bargain shopper to the max lol 😊
I love the Ouidad moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for curls with the white and blue label. My hair feels moisturized and detangled after using the products. The product that didn't work for me was the Devacurl stretch cream. It made my hair dry and it didn't stretch it. I look forward to seeing your videos in 2020!🤗❤
I assumed TMC opted out of BF because of the sell of the business. That Canadian company does not care about BF lol NUC boasted on FB recently about how amazing they are at resending packages that had issues lol
Can u do a video if what u kept and will be using in 2020 from your remaining stash? Thank you. ❤
I couldn’t handle the smell of Mo knows products either.
Miss Yvette smells like a strong cologne to me
Omg I cant stand that Cantu deep conditioner 😂
I didn't care about trashing all my Cantu hair products!! The worst products ever!!!!
This is off topic, but what black lipstick is that? It’s beautiful!
Great feedback for these brands. Especially Mane Choice. I hope they listen and adjust.
My worst product and company was PLENTIFUL. I found those products on a youtube video recommendation. I liked the products. Worked pretty good for my hair BUT the next month they sent me the same set of products and charged me. Like an infomercial. I’m like wait a minute. Did I sign up for a subscription. I went back on their site to access my account. No where was there a place to access your account. I sent 3 emails and they never got back to me. I had to cancel my card before the end of the month. I went back to the video that shilled it to me and left a comment. I seen a couple of people in the comments having the same or similar problems. A shame because they were good products. They messed up right out the gate. Happy New Year lovely ladies!!!!
I like the Alikay Naturals Lemongrass gel for installing in braids with added hair. It keeps my hair from getting tangled during the take down.
I truly hate bad customer service. I won't be buying that 1st product because of the customer service
I agree with you ladies. The moknows line, was sooooo smelly and the products did not workout for me.
I love the black funerary fashion! 🙌🏾🖤 Never liked Mane Choice. I heard she sold the company, but I haven't found any article(s) about it. Someone said there's an announcement in their/her IG (I haven't seen it; she did post an announcement that she's partnering with a company to create a fund for Black women entrepreneurs). My disappointing products in 2019 were from Adwoa. Love the shampoo and the oil, but the rest all have glycerin high up on the ingredients list. My hair starts out moist & defined but quickly poufs and dries out 😕
Early wow🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🤶🏾🎅🏽and a Happy New Years 🎉🎊🍾
LINDA SMITH Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you too!
2020 here we come!!!!
The Mane Choice was acquired by a Canadian Brand in Nov. Idk if that had anything to do with it but I definitely agree that they came out with too many lines.
I’m a new subscriber. However, I feel the same way about brands and over saturation of lines. I had an over abundance of products about 3 years ago and then I got diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m cancer free now but I lost ever strand of hair 2 weeks after my 1st Chemo treatment. So I gave boxes & boxes of products away. Now I only use what worked as my hair grew back. I’m grateful for every strand who returned to the scene of the crime 😂😂😂
Simplicity is now my mantra. But I’m watching for a new shampoo & co wash.
Yes to this video ladies..... I totally agree I'm over all these new lines every other week dropping... TMC was doing the most in 2019 and Black Friday didn't collect not one coin from me... 😁😁😝 I'm over whelmed with all the stuff I have already used and new... I just couldn't justify buying more products... Well I did get the Adowa box from curlbox but that was it... I always wanted to try that line... 🤗🤗😉 I'm with you ladies.... 2020 is the year of consistency... Growth and healthy hair.... now I need to unsubscribe to all these hair companies 😁😂😂😂✌🏿
yes . your reviews are always spot on. lol. that cantu, i was like wht the heck.
I am so done with all the different natural hair products that is released every week. I am doing DIY this whole year... 2020 making changes. I'm done store hopping for products...
I find it ironic that you guys mentioned the scent of the MoKnowsHair collection considering I believe fragrance is the fifth ingredient
Merry Christmas Ladies, I am hear for the Flav! Let’s do 2020 in the knowledge of ourselves
well mane choice just landed a deal with ulta. so i am sure new lines will be made and put there. i am a sole believer of not spending if i don't want to. anyway my disappoints were the also the lemongrass line, the moisture rx gel , do it fro the culture gel that came out last year, the prickly pear custard, bounce curl clumping cream.i didn't try as many new products this year. i did but it was a smaller amount. i was more focused on finishing what i have so i can have more empties 2019. I also decluttered 2 bags worth of unused products and one time use products and gave those to shelters.
I tried the eco slay line because I saw your tutorial 🙈 the top of the shampoo bottle came in broken, I don’t like how everything needs to be refrigerated but the orange marmalade and the banana cream are products worth a try in a mini size.
The Cantu cream SUCKS!! it didn’t do anything for my hair either 😫 and made it worst!
Thank you for this video, I think that before buying new products, I will use what I have and wait for your 2020 worst products video 🤗
Yeah I was kinda salty about mane choice not doing a Black Friday sale, they did advertise certain stores that carry mane choice who were having general sales, Walgreens and Walmart, & Sally’s, which I ordered a slew of mane choice products from only to have my order completely cancelled😫. I must’ve checked the mane choice website 50x over the Black Friday/cyber Monday weekend; total madness😩 but I haven’t given up, I need the tropical moringa and eygyotian lines and I determined, just can afford it full price, so I’ll be on the look out for the next great sale😆
TaylorAnne - I'm an OG. I feel your pain on African Pride. It's an old brand. That stuff tore my scalp and face up back in the day.
Hello ladies, you look lovely. I tried the Kink Drink by Soultanicals because of you and was very disappointed with the sprayer that I don’t want to try it again. The service was excellent but the replacement sprayer didn’t work either. I was so excited to try the product. I did put it in another spray bottle to use the product. Side note. I miss going live with everyone.
The spray bottle on the Soultanicals is terrible...mine stopped working after two sprays...I had transfer the product to a different spray bottle as well.
Tay I’ve been wondering where I’ve seen your smile before because your have a familiar looking face and then I realized your smile is similar to a younger raven symone. That’s a compliment btw
Lori if you wear a little bit warmer toned lipstick i think it’ll compliment your skin tone better 💞 love you guys
Love these videos!!! These r my favs!! I agree so much with yalls choices!!! 🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘
**Amy LeoGoddess** Wow! Thank you! 🥰
i just ordered a lot of products from the mane choice because i love their soft as can be 3 n 1 conditioner. i hope i’m not disappointed ☹️
I definitely agree with you ladies on The Mane Choice ! They are doing way too much !
Merry Christmas ladies 🎄. Thanks for the video. The curlsmith scalp line didn't help my dry scalp as much as I had hoped. #yallgongetthistree
I purchased a product and the container arrived broken but guess what the owner did?? She automatically refunded my money. I didnt even have to ask and I only emailed her to let her know that she should add a filling. So guess what that company will have moving forward??! A loyal customer. Customer service is very big to me and if you are going into business please learn how to master it.
I remember trying the Cantu Deep Conditioner masque a couple years back and having the same exact experience. It didn't penetrate my hair at all and my hair felt so matted and dry afterwards!
I also ordered 'The Mane Choice Eygptain Shampoo' online and I was pretty convinced they sent me a fake product that had dish soap in it as it was sooo drying and left my hair squeaky. But I guess that's just how the product is...😖😅
Liked. Merry Christmas! Have you two finished Christmas shopping yet?
