    So as far as one brand wash days go, you’ll want to strap in for this one. I’m finally adding my thoughts to the plethora of flora and curl reviews here on RUclips. I’m reviewing the flora and curl shampoo, flora and curl conditioner, leave in detangler, and the curl defining gel from their sweet hibiscus range. Most of the reviews out there were done by people with largely curly hair (the likes of Bianca Renee Today etc.) but few people with hair within the range of 4a-4c have tried these products, so I guess you I’m your test subject for the day. Needless to say, it was quite the experience.

    Happy New year guys! Your fave (absentee) trichologist is back, and I FINALLY have this flora & curl wash day up. If any of you follow me on instagram, you will already know how much of a STRUGGLE this wash day was for me. It’s been a while since I’ve blind-purchased products - this was a painful reminder as to why I do not purchase products based on hype (as opposed to how my hair type will respond to the ingredients/formulation).
    Thankfully, one of the products ended up being a hit so yaaaay! I have the miche beauty products to try next, but given that it was another blind purchase - your girl is wary.

    that point about shampoos that have gentle surfactants but make your hair feel rough because of the lack of emollients makes so much sense!! i recently purchased a shampoo that was supposed to be mildly cleansing but my hair felt like literal straw after using it. now when i look at the ingredients i dont think it has a single emollient... on the flipside, i have a clarfying shampoo but it never leaves my hair feeling like straw or tangled in it.
    you have such good information in your videos and even though my hair is naturally straight youre super helpful.

    I know the rose and flora sucks, but the behentrimonium methosulfate is a detangling ingredient. It has twice the potency of behentrimonium chloride. It provides slip and a non-greasy feel. It's in a number of detangling products, shampoos, conditioners, etc. It works better in the presence of pills, so the main problem might have been that there was only coconut oil in the formulation rather than the heavier oils we're used to.

The best options right now is to make your own hair butter and oils elixirs to revive the hair back to its original form/texture etc.

    Hi Afope Atoyebi! This was a really informative review, thanks for taking a hit for those with of us with high porosity hair, but DAMN! I felt for you when that shampoo touched your beautiful hair, it just matted up and looked dry and stringy instantly, but thanks for your honesty.
    I will be avoiding this stuff like the plague, but interested in the gel but usually avoid glycerin as in past experience it's caused dryness, so probably issa NO for me, for the whole line. I've just subscribed so look forward to checking out your other videos 😊

    Soo many good quotes in this video! I recently purchased the oil and hair mist from Flora and Curl. I'm not a fan and I'm currently just trying to finish up my products. I'm not a fan of the scent and I'm usually all for everything floral, but it just didn't do it for me. I find the oil, just meh... Like I'd rather just not pay this amount of money for mediocre oil... the mist was also a waste of money. I've never been a huge fan of buying mist, I usually just stick to my spray bottle, but I was looking for a quick moisturiser for lazy/busy days. It's just meh. Anyhoo, great review. I wonder if you've tried Afrocenchix? I've recently tried their moisture line and I'm OBSESSED another Black British hair care brand like Flora and Curl, but the difference in the line is CRAZY. I have now found my fave line/brand and they were a Christmas gift! So I totes went in blind.

    Girl, you had me rolling! Your comedy with the trauma...😔😥
    Chile I've been there! No NaturAll Club for me! My hair matted and tangled! I cut out swatches of hair to get out the tangles. Medium denisity, coarse, low porosity, protein sensitive...and the deep conditioner burned in my scalp (by process of elimination over time I figured I am alergic to the flaxseed).
    Got a deep conditioner with Sweet Potato & Turmeric that my hair haits (not moisturizing) but us supposed to be good for my scalp (marketed for both). It's got 1 more try on just my scalp. Fingers crossed 🤞...
    Now what am I going to do with a whole 'nother jar I haven't opened, but I bought on sale...?🤔lol

    • @AfopeAtoyebi
      @AfopeAtoyebi  3 года назад +3

      Not cutting out swatches of hair to get out the tangles, and definitely not the burnt scalp?!?! My goodness! It's funny that you should mention NaturAll club, saw them everywhere for a bit but never tried it. I'm always slightly cautious with 100% natural products.
      Sis you better bless a friend with that jar you got on sale. It's just not worth it. Choose to be a blessing instead and save your hair 😂

    Alright, I can tell you when I read the ingredients in Ulta I knew to stay away. If you have Multi-textured hair stay away. I was not surprised that these products didn't work for you. I understood the ingredients wasn't going to work for my type 4 hair. I don't buy unless I read ingredients 1st. It also states clearly "Flora & curl" so its not for Coily or Kinky hair either. Your review was great. Never just buy because you see a few oils and butters.

    These products are already not cheap.
