HEYYYYY! What's the word guys!?! Let me know! I saw NaturalNeiicy's video on this line after it failed me LOL and she had the same results .. hmmm ruclips.net/video/kOZNxiBRR4w/видео.html
U really have to use that gel very sparingly. I use the hair milk mixed with little oil & use the gel very sparingly. Flaking is minimal. My hair has never been white & ashey. First time I did use too much gel & was very flakey.
I’m sorry that happened 😩I love the shampoo and the deep conditioner from that line too. But this is why when I’m trying new products I make sure I’m off from work the next day and don’t have anywhere special to go. Cause those flakes is all kinds of disrespectful and I don’t have time for the foolishness. But please keep us updated when you redo this style with just the twist cream cause now I’m scared to buy it
Alexandria Russell Guuurrl!! You just spoke a WORD into my soul. I can’t take this chances either. I only twist with DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel. I buy that product from Ulta during the Mega-size sales.
Same here. I also make sure I buy from Target so I can return it or trade it. Target is perfect for people learning to care for their hair because they allow 30 day return even if the product is used or opened even damaged.
I used the same products form my curlbox hair was a disaster it was white like i been greying, it was snowing all that bad stuff😂😂😂 and i only used the gel and the leave in. So i dont think its the twisting custard
The shea moisture gels SUCK!!!!!! I tried two of them and the next morning I woke up with gray flakes over my hair I wish I could upload pics to RUclips
This line is amazing. As always, Sheamoisture the OG has always had some of the best quality products and ingredients. Their products do what they say they are going to do.
The max hold gel made my hair flake EXACTLY like yours! I still use the shampoo, hair mask, and leave-in from the line. Loooovvvveeee those products, but that max hold gel...... yeah issa no for me! Had me out here looking dusty lmao
I want to know too. But I love the jbco line from shea moisture but I use that as a strengthening product. I need something that hydrates my hair but I wont use the gel
Lord that is the ashiest braid out I’ve ever seen. So sorry. I did a review for the Coconut and Hibiscus Max Hold Gel... it was also horrible. Crusty, flaky mess.
It works wonders for my hair so it could be that your hair just doesn’t like it. My hair doesn’t like Aragon oil at all and it took me a minute to figure that out. You should try some samples of the other lines just to see which one is for you!
OMG I thought I was crazy when I used the twisting custard paired with the cantu twisting cream, but now I realize it was the custard that flaked my hair like crazy. It really did make my hair look like a winter wonderland!! It was awful. This definitely confirms it.
I liked everything but that leave-in milk because it was so hard to squeeze out and that horrible gel. How in the woooorld does a gel flake that badly within its own line...how Sway?!
OMG, this line worked like MAGIC on my hair! No flaking and SUPER moisturizing and defined! Me and my high porosity, 4B hair loved it but Im so sorry that this happened to you, sis. Also, my twisting custard smelled like sweet tarts so I'm not sure why there was a difference lol; Never tried the gel maybe it will work without it the next time.
I hate the entire line 💅🏾. The mask just sat on top of my hair and my daughters’ hair. We all have different porosities/densities/textures but it did JACK stank for our hair. The shampoo claims it’s color safe but my I watched my color run right down the drain. There’s only 2 product lines from Shea “aLl iNcLuSiVe” Moisture that work for us and that’s the JBCO and high porosity lines. I’m sorry you had that experience. I wanted to cry for you when I saw the flakes. I know that struggle after all the hard work you put in on wash day. ☹️ Also; We got flakes too using the styling products from the Red Palm Oil line. Just used them this weekend and had to re-wash our hair the next day 🤦🏾♀️
That’s crazy. My hair prefers Shea Moisture products or As I Am compared to other company brands which is weird. My hair reacts badly to their coconut and hibiscus smoothie which I think is their worst product.
I love the Shampoo & deep conditioner. I’ve tried the Coconut Hibiscus Max Hold gel which is very similar in ingredients to the Max Hold Gel from this line…absolute trash! People act like the gel is good but they used it wrong, no Boo..it just sucks. Glad you gave an honest review
thank you! I feel like people always giving excuses for these brands like they made it in their kitchen ! Sometimes things don't work.. and from the looks of these comments I'm not the only person who had this experience. thanks for watching boo
Oh nooo! I don't know what I would've done in that situation. I don't like the smell of this particular line. I hope that you find success with the gel because it seems promising. Thank you for sharing and your honest review. Much love!
I did not like the shampoo, it was very stripping to my hair. It went into my hair great but afterwards.. it was horrible! I loveeeeeedddddd the deep conditioner! I don’t condition my hair, I usually go straight to deep conditioning. The twisting custard was sooo drying to my hair ugh.. I wish I had gotten 3 masks
I bought the “Intensive Hydration” treatment masque and boy was that a JOKE! I only tried it because the small packets were bogo at Walgreens... it is so thick🤨 that I had to WORK to smooth it into my hair...RESULTS??! None. It was as if I’d done NOthing at all but I was left with the scent so I massaged some morrocan argan oil for some softness and sheen😃 now I’ll watch to see if we had similar experiences❤️
I had a bad allergic reaction to it. The shampoo and conditioner is the best I've ever used BUT, I got that tingly itchiness all over my body because I washed my hair in the shower. I recognized it as a BAD allergic reaction. I had to take Benadryl every night for 3 nights (usually after a bad reaction, and I take a warm or hot shower, I'll start itching again and can't go to sleep because it's so bad so gotta take Benadryl). I was SO SAD about this because it worked crazy well and was amazing! BUT the allergic reaction was bad, so I couldn't use it again 😔
This is my go to products I used weekly. The custard give you enough hold without the gel. After you apply the leave-in, you either apply the gel or the custard. If your going a softer but a good hold, the custard is the best way to go. I love the gel but the custard is what I used weekly.
I’ve only used the deep conditioner and it was just ok to me. Maybe because I was hoping it had a ton of slip and didn’t but idk. It seems to be one of the bomb products from the line for everyone else. Maybe I’ll revisit it 🤷🏽♀️
I have the May curlbox, I used the twisting butter with the leave-in lotion, that worked great together. When I used the gel I used kinky kurly's knot today as my leave in and it didnt flake. To me it never makes since to use a lotion like leave in with a gel. I live in Orlando so I get it when it comes to the weather.
The hair masque doesnt work for my 4c as a good deep conditioner... But as a LEAVE IN, like twist at night no rinse out, its WONDERFUL. i thought i was gonna be dissapointed altogether but its a great leave in just use a little bit
I have the shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner. I will not get the gel. I have heard bad things about it. The rest of the line is wonderful. The regular conditioner smells like 🍯 I love the products I have. Thank you for your review.
Nice review! I really love the conditioner and masque from this line. I was too happy when I found the big 18 oz bottle of the conditioner at target lol! I co-wash every night with the coconut and hibiscus co-wash except wash day and I want to try the leave in milk from this line as my quick leave in moisturizer. I usually use the coconut and hibiscus curl enhancing smoothie but I'm not trying to use that up too quickly lol.
I have the coconut hibiscus masque and gel. It does flake if you use it the way you use other gels. The next time I used it I read the directions and it said just scrunch it in on top of the smoothie. That worked perfectly and my wash n go curls was just as poppin’. It says max hold gel and they didn’t lie
It was definitely the gel that flaked your hair. I used to same line but I only use the shampoo, conditioner, masque, and the gel. Since that line is especially thick, you don’t need to add the gel with the custard. I did the custard with my twist out with a little castor oil and my twists were POPPIN!! I think the gel is too much.
Hi Lexi, The deep condition & shampoo are my favorite. The leave in was a little to thick for me. I also had to fight for it to come out. I'll be waiting for you to reuse the line bc my hair flake soooooo BAD also. YES you were real disrespectful to your strands to go out like that. lol
I have dense low porosity hair. SM Manuka Honey Masque is my holy grail DC. I always steam and always DC and this always makes my hair SAWFT...salon quality moisture. Your headline was “click-bait” cause I thought you were going to say it was bad. As far as gels, I only use DevaCurl Ultra Defining gel by the Mega Size - never flakes.
I haven't tried it yet but I watched a few reviews when this product first came out. They recommend to only use a little bit of the gel because of the max hold and the flaking.
Lexi girllll, I have the curl box, I loved the shampoo, conditioner and I have the mask and like it as well, but the the gel and the twist custard was a complete fail😬!!! I felt something wasn’t wright with the custard, the gel, turned my hair gray like yours. I didn’t try the milk, but the custard and the gel didn’t mix. I am interested in seeing you try a different mix with these products.
Well I sure appreciate you sharing this experience girl. The Masque used to be a staple for me and sadly I was hesitant on getting another one because of their ingredients changing in other products so I just didn’t trust them. I noticed with that red palm oil butter I had small white balls in my hair. Not sure what’s up with that either.
I just bought the custard (didn't know they made this. I've been under a rock) and have been using the conditioner... I'm a little nervous now, but I plan to use it with a different gel or just by itself. I use Eco styler flax for my son and ear wetline for me.
Same thing happened when I tried the gel from the jamaican black castor oil line for a wash and go...it was soooooo cute...and then it dried...and they recommend pairing it with the smoothie which is what I did...I think I used too much product so I will try it again😩 It did work well for my old faithful twist out...wash and go was a fail
I got this in my curlbox and I have given it away ALREADY....I absolutely hated it. Left my hair dry but coated as hell.....and FLAKED. The shampoo was decent, the conditioner was a no because it had absolutely no slip. The leave in was actually decent! Only thing that I really liked in the line. The stylers are what I have a MAJOR problem with. They were just terrible all the way around. I hated it so much🙈
This is my fav line from shea moisture. I have only purchased the shampoo, deep cond & leave-in. Personally I wouldn't purchased any of their gels because they never work when I tried them from other lines. I definitely would never used a custard & gel together from any product - its just too much product
It's funny that I find this video because I tried the masque sample before, and it was pretty good for my hair. I'm a 4c chick also, so it's good to see other 4c hair youtubers try products that I want to try🙌🏾 P.s do you have a favorite moisturizing masque/deep conditioner without protein?
the only thing i tried from that line is the deep conditioner which i do really like. i have to get the shampoo and i was thinking about trying the gel but i dont know now since you really dont know what gave you the flakes.
I used the leave-in and custard together and the same thing happened to me! I had to wash my hair again. Then when I tried the custard with a different leave-in I got the same results. Like you said the shampoo and DC are great but the leave-in and custard are a no. Edit: My hair is also low porosity which may have affected results.
Surprisingly! I've had that happen with quite a few products! My hair did the same thing with Mane Choice, Carols daughter Pracaxi, and Shea Moisture! I don't know what I did wrong but my hair looked like I was homeless!!!!
Hmmm maybe I should try the product as well. My friend said she had flakes after using the mielle Organics new line from curlbox but I didn’t get that. My result where amazing.
I tried the hold gel and did not like it. I don’t know whether I used too much or what but my hair was sticky. Liked the style milk although it was pretty thick. I have heard good reviews for the custard. I did not try it myself.
Try the shampoo conditioner and gel alone because I tried the custard alone also and got horrible white flaky results also. Also my hair was super limp I think it was too much moisture.
The shampoo is amazing didn’t strip my hair even re using it the second time feels more like a conditioner... the conditioner is okay too. Never tried the leave in milk youre video is the first time for me seeing it... the custard SCARED ME AT FIRST... after i shampooed / conditioned it I used the custard as a leave in while finishing the moisturizing process with the wild growth oil before detangling so I can do my two strand twist... first twist I saw flakes 😰 I know it’s not from the oil so I dreaded the custard until my hair got drier the flakes disappeared and my hair was shiny normal... I probably thinks it takes more time for the custard to fully get absorbed into the hair and the gel obviously holds everything in place duh that’s why we use it lol. I hate gels / stopped using them!!! I have the curling gel soufflé from their coconut hibiscus line... no it doesn’t flake but it makes my hair feel like I’ve put grease in it so I stopped using it basically a full jar... I think it’s a combo of the custard / gel that did that to you... since it takes a minute for the custard to absorb the flakes from the product mixed with the gel... sorry to hear this happened to you but it’s part of the hair journey!!!! Now I know not to buy the gel 😂😂 thank you for your review ❤️
I have everything in this line except the gel. More then likely it’s the gel that caused the flakes every review I’ve seen when they used the gel it flakes. It seems like it’s the leave in and the gel doesn’t mix. But the shampoo, conditioner , masque , leave in and the custard r amazing .
Man that sucks lol. My favorite gel from shea moisture is the cocnut and hibiscus gel. THE only thing is it leaves my hair feeling sticky but my curls pop and my hair stays moist for over a week. Could you do a review of the high porosity gel? I've used it 2 times and noticed gel like flakes coming out of my hair and don't quite know why lol.
I used the Manuka Honey Hydrate & Design Max Hold in a two strand twist. I washed used a leave in and twisted. My twist were so hard and it seemed like I used glue. I untwisted my hair and it was hard and crunchy. I don't think I used that much. It was HORRIBLE so I washed my hair and tried it as w wash and go, my hair dried and it was so Dry. This product does not work for me. My hair is 4 a. Thank goodness tomorrow is a holiday it will give me time to fix it. When they come out with a new line, the should have sample sizes, I just paid almost 11 for something I can't use.
I love this range but have never used the gel I use the twisting custard and seal with castor oil I think the gel is wat caused the flakes, whenever I seal with gel it creates flakes
I received my 1st curlbox in May and have not used the products yet. I haven't decided what hair cocktail to pair. Btw no shade curlfriend baobab is pronounced (bay-oh-bob). Anther tip hot water gets rid of flakes.
Would you recommend this deep conditioner for moisture or protein treatment? Or if you know any deep conditioners for moisture for low porosity 4c hair?
HEYYYYY! What's the word guys!?! Let me know! I saw NaturalNeiicy's video on this line after it failed me LOL and she had the same results .. hmmm ruclips.net/video/kOZNxiBRR4w/видео.html
KandidKinks wow, it did look like the braids were taken down from an old sew in!
That hair custard is awful. It did the exact same thing to me. My hair was ashy and dry
I had the same result
U really have to use that gel very sparingly. I use the hair milk mixed with little oil & use the gel very sparingly. Flaking is minimal. My hair has never been white & ashey. First time I did use too much gel & was very flakey.
And on top of that Shea Moisture is NOT CHEAP!
I’m sorry that happened 😩I love the shampoo and the deep conditioner from that line too. But this is why when I’m trying new products I make sure I’m off from work the next day and don’t have anywhere special to go. Cause those flakes is all kinds of disrespectful and I don’t have time for the foolishness.

Alexandria Russell Guuurrl!! You just spoke a WORD into my soul. I can’t take this chances either. I only twist with DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel. I buy that product from Ulta during the Mega-size sales.
Dont bother. They changed the ingredients in shampoo and now fragrance is the 4th ingredient instead of the 8th!
Same here. I also make sure I buy from Target so I can return it or trade it. Target is perfect for people learning to care for their hair because they allow 30 day return even if the product is used or opened even damaged.
I used the same products form my curlbox hair was a disaster it was white like i been greying, it was snowing all that bad stuff😂😂😂 and i only used the gel and the leave in. So i dont think its the twisting custard
Mitchka Leon the twisting custard won't flake, but it will leave your hair very dull and coated looking.
What is a curl box
The mask from this line is good but the gel is HORRID-ABLE!! 🙅🏽♀️ Haven’t bought a product from Shea ashy since 😂
Shea ashy lol
😂😂😂
Take out the “able” sis cause... it was not able lol.
I tried the curl enhancing smoothie and yeah that was it for me
I love this line....shampoo, conditioner, masque and leave-in. However I haven't tried the twisting butter or the gel from this line.
The shea moisture gels SUCK!!!!!! I tried two of them and the next morning I woke up with gray flakes over my hair I wish I could upload pics to RUclips
This line is amazing. As always, Sheamoisture the OG has always had some of the best quality products and ingredients. Their products do what they say they are going to do.
Flake city, winter wonder land, sis I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's painful when this happens after a washday
lmaooooo
I just love your candid and honest reviews.. you do a wonderful job! Thank you so much!
thank you so much !!
I 💗 the deep conditioner in that line. I use the twisting cream without the gel and my twist outs are bomb.
i need to try it alone
The max hold gel made my hair flake EXACTLY like yours! I still use the shampoo, hair mask, and leave-in from the line. Loooovvvveeee those products, but that max hold gel...... yeah issa no for me! Had me out here looking dusty lmao
I have only tried the DC. It just sat on my hair. I like the JBCO mask and the 10 in one.
Your skin/makeup is always so beautiful 😍
thanks so much !!
a lot of lines you can't mix the cream with their gels so that might have been the problem like you said.
I tried it but it wasn’t that moisturizing to me. I’ve given up on Shea Moisture.
What have you used that gives more moisture?I'm on the hunt lol
tera same I wanna know
I want to know too. But I love the jbco line from shea moisture but I use that as a strengthening product. I need something that hydrates my hair but I wont use the gel
@@tera1333 grease?
same here
Lord that is the ashiest braid out I’ve ever seen. So sorry. I did a review for the Coconut and Hibiscus Max Hold Gel... it was also horrible. Crusty, flaky mess.
Steffmd25 girl HAHAHA!
Steffmd25 yoooo CTFUUU 😭😭😭😭
if you think this is bad you should've seen mine the flakes literally fell all over my clothes
Nikky Windefelde literally i though i got an expired version but it wasn’t it was just bad lmao
Nikky Windefelde lmbo!!!! Flake CITY!
Am I the only one who hated the mask? It didn’t moisturize my hair like everyone hypes it up to.
KnoKno Furi Heat it up. I didn’t like it and a friend of mind suggested to heat it up.
KnoKno Furi I found sitting under the dryer with it was a game changer. Because it's so thick it takes a long time to penetrate the heat helps alot
A few people have been saying that!
KnoKno Furi I didn’t hate it but it wasn’t life changing like everyone says. I like their other deep conditioners better!
It works wonders for my hair so it could be that your hair just doesn’t like it. My hair doesn’t like Aragon oil at all and it took me a minute to figure that out. You should try some samples of the other lines just to see which one is for you!
I love the twisting custard. I typically pair with Eco or by itself and I always get a bomb twist/braid out.
Sincerely Kia Nicole I’m gonna try this
OMG I thought I was crazy when I used the twisting custard paired with the cantu twisting cream, but now I realize it was the custard that flaked my hair like crazy. It really did make my hair look like a winter wonderland!! It was awful. This definitely confirms it.
I liked everything but that leave-in milk because it was so hard to squeeze out and that horrible gel. How in the woooorld does a gel flake that badly within its own line...how Sway?!
OMG, this line worked like MAGIC on my hair! No flaking and SUPER moisturizing and defined! Me and my high porosity, 4B hair loved it but Im so sorry that this happened to you, sis. Also, my twisting custard smelled like sweet tarts so I'm not sure why there was a difference lol; Never tried the gel maybe it will work without it the next time.
I hate the entire line 💅🏾. The mask just sat on top of my hair and my daughters’ hair. We all have different porosities/densities/textures but it did JACK stank for our hair. The shampoo claims it’s color safe but my I watched my color run right down the drain. There’s only 2 product lines from Shea “aLl iNcLuSiVe” Moisture that work for us and that’s the JBCO and high porosity lines. I’m sorry you had that experience. I wanted to cry for you when I saw the flakes. I know that struggle after all the hard work you put in on wash day. ☹️
Also; We got flakes too using the styling products from the Red Palm Oil line. Just used them this weekend and had to re-wash our hair the next day 🤦🏾♀️
the stresssss!!
That’s crazy. My hair prefers Shea Moisture products or As I Am compared to other company brands which is weird. My hair reacts badly to their coconut and hibiscus smoothie which I think is their worst product.
That mask was same for me... Tried it a few times, just pure dryness.
It was the gel that caused the flakes. I used it with the leave in and it was horrible. I returned it. I like the shampoo and the deep conditioner
I love the Shampoo & deep conditioner. I’ve tried the Coconut Hibiscus Max Hold gel which is very similar in ingredients to the Max Hold Gel from this line…absolute trash! People act like the gel is good but they used it wrong, no Boo..it just sucks. Glad you gave an honest review
thank you! I feel like people always giving excuses for these brands like they made it in their kitchen ! Sometimes things don't work.. and from the looks of these comments I'm not the only person who had this experience. thanks for watching boo
Loved everything but the gel
Flaked so bad. Thankfully Target took it back!
Oh nooo! I don't know what I would've done in that situation. I don't like the smell of this particular line. I hope that you find success with the gel because it seems promising. Thank you for sharing and your honest review. Much love!
ahhh thanks love :)

None. It was as if I’d done NOthing at all but I was left with the scent so I massaged some morrocan argan oil for some softness and sheen😃 now I’ll watch to see if we had similar experiences❤️
Me too...
I had a bad allergic reaction to it. The shampoo and conditioner is the best I've ever used BUT, I got that tingly itchiness all over my body because I washed my hair in the shower. I recognized it as a BAD allergic reaction. I had to take Benadryl every night for 3 nights (usually after a bad reaction, and I take a warm or hot shower, I'll start itching again and can't go to sleep because it's so bad so gotta take Benadryl). I was SO SAD about this because it worked crazy well and was amazing! BUT the allergic reaction was bad, so I couldn't use it again 😔
“ive let my dandruff manifest” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmaoooo girl i was pissed
This is my go to products I used weekly. The custard give you enough hold without the gel. After you apply the leave-in, you either apply the gel or the custard. If your going a softer but a good hold, the custard is the best way to go. I love the gel but the custard is what I used weekly.
The only thing I like from this line is the Masque, it makes my hair super soft😍
I would have rinsed it out. Glad you're gonna fix it soon
I'm so glad I didn't purchase this line. I was going to until I saw your video and others complaining about the same issue. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching love
I’ve only used the deep conditioner and it was just ok to me. Maybe because I was hoping it had a ton of slip and didn’t but idk. It seems to be one of the bomb products from the line for everyone else. Maybe I’ll revisit it 🤷🏽♀️
Naturally KayD try super renewal one
That works for me and detangling is easier
Ok. Thanks so much for the recommendation.
I have the May curlbox, I used the twisting butter with the leave-in lotion, that worked great together. When I used the gel I used kinky kurly's knot today as my leave in and it didnt flake. To me it never makes since to use a lotion like leave in with a gel. I live in Orlando so I get it when it comes to the weather.
The hair masque doesnt work for my 4c as a good deep conditioner... But as a LEAVE IN, like twist at night no rinse out, its WONDERFUL. i thought i was gonna be dissapointed altogether but its a great leave in just use a little bit
I tried and love the line. The mask and the conditioner are a staple in my stash. The gel is crap..
Correction.. I've never used the new pieces, but shampoo,conditioner and DC are life!
GIRLLLLLLL i need your skincare routine asap! YOU ARE GLOWING
I have the shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner. I will not get the gel. I have heard bad things about it. The rest of the line is wonderful. The regular conditioner smells like 🍯 I love the products I have. Thank you for your review.
Nice review! I really love the conditioner and masque from this line. I was too happy when I found the big 18 oz bottle of the conditioner at target lol! I co-wash every night with the coconut and hibiscus co-wash except wash day and I want to try the leave in milk from this line as my quick leave in moisturizer. I usually use the coconut and hibiscus curl enhancing smoothie but I'm not trying to use that up too quickly lol.
Fragrance is very high up in the ingredients list of the conditioner. And yea leave ins should be bigger. Like their JBCO line
I love the shampoo and DC from this line. I add extra olive oil to the DC for even more moisture.
Ashley's Lane I too add extra oil to the DC.
I have the coconut hibiscus masque and gel. It does flake if you use it the way you use other gels. The next time I used it I read the directions and it said just scrunch it in on top of the smoothie. That worked perfectly and my wash n go curls was just as poppin’. It says max hold gel and they didn’t lie
It was definitely the gel that flaked your hair. I used to same line but I only use the shampoo, conditioner, masque, and the gel. Since that line is especially thick, you don’t need to add the gel with the custard. I did the custard with my twist out with a little castor oil and my twists were POPPIN!! I think the gel is too much.

Embracemykinks23
I really disliked this entire line made my hair so hard.
S. Guishard Yeah, I was really disappointed with the styling products.
Well I sure appreciate you sharing this experience girl. The Masque used to be a staple for me and sadly I was hesitant on getting another one because of their ingredients changing in other products so I just didn’t trust them. I noticed with that red palm oil butter I had small white balls in my hair. Not sure what’s up with that either.
I only use the mask and conditioner and it moisturize my hair so well. I have color so that works perfectly for me
I love this line. I used everything but the gel. I love, love, love the custard.
I would use the custard or the gel not both together.
OMG!..I got the same results with using the twisting cream only, I didn't even use the gel. That could be what did it for you. I stopped using it😟
I just bought the custard (didn't know they made this. I've been under a rock) and have been using the conditioner... I'm a little nervous now, but I plan to use it with a different gel or just by itself. I use Eco styler flax for my son and ear wetline for me.
Same thing happened when I tried the gel from the jamaican black castor oil line for a wash and go...it was soooooo cute...and then it dried...and they recommend pairing it with the smoothie which is what I did...I think I used too much product so I will try it again😩
It did work well for my old faithful twist out...wash and go was a fail
😯 I’m salty for you. I would be pissed. Nobody has time to rewash hair. I haven’t tried this line yet but thanks for the review!!!
My back and forehead was full of flakes as I was twisting! I'm only going to use the shampoo & conditioner again.
I got this in my curlbox and I have given it away ALREADY....I absolutely hated it. Left my hair dry but coated as hell.....and FLAKED. The shampoo was decent, the conditioner was a no because it had absolutely no slip. The leave in was actually decent! Only thing that I really liked in the line.

I definitely would never used a custard & gel together from any product - its just too much product
Yeah that gel did you wrong Sis, the disrespect! I havent tried the whole line only the masque which i loved
It's funny that I find this video because I tried the masque sample before, and it was pretty good for my hair. I'm a 4c chick also, so it's good to see other 4c hair youtubers try products that I want to try🙌🏾
P.s do you have a favorite moisturizing masque/deep conditioner without protein?
The mielle babassu is a fave
the only thing i tried from that line is the deep conditioner which i do really like. i have to get the shampoo and i was thinking about trying the gel but i dont know now since you really dont know what gave you the flakes.
🤦😱 I thought you were going to talk about the deep conditioner I was bout to be so mad glad I only got the masque
I used the leave-in and custard together and the same thing happened to me! I had to wash my hair again. Then when I tried the custard with a different leave-in I got the same results. Like you said the shampoo and DC are great but the leave-in and custard are a no. Edit: My hair is also low porosity which may have affected results.
The gel from this line and Red palm flaked up on me also. I had great curl definition though.
I hate when that happens!
What lipgloss color are you wearing?! It’s so pretty!
Lexi, Love to see when you post! I absolutely love this line!
Surprisingly! I've had that happen with quite a few products! My hair did the same thing with Mane Choice, Carols daughter Pracaxi, and Shea Moisture! I don't know what I did wrong but my hair looked like I was homeless!!!!
Hmmm maybe I should try the product as well. My friend said she had flakes after using the mielle Organics new line from curlbox but I didn’t get that. My result where amazing.
Thank you for the honest review!
I tried the hold gel and did not like it. I don’t know whether I used too much or what but my hair was sticky. Liked the style milk although it was pretty thick. I have heard good reviews for the custard. I did not try it myself.
I loved the masque from this line the conditioner was ok. I wonder how the gel would work with a liquid leave in
Same thing happened to me everything else was great but the gel
Just before your video I watched naturallyniecy and she had the issue of flakes as well. I only purchased the masque so not expecting the flakes
That is my favorite line! I use the shampoo and deep conditioner only.
Try the shampoo conditioner and gel alone because I tried the custard alone also and got horrible white flaky results also. Also my hair was super limp I think it was too much moisture.
-I love the shampoo and Conditioners from She's moisture too
When you called those flakes disrespectful I couldn't help but LOL. So sorry for your results
The shampoo is amazing didn’t strip my hair even re using it the second time feels more like a conditioner... the conditioner is okay too. Never tried the leave in milk youre video is the first time for me seeing it... the custard SCARED ME AT FIRST... after i shampooed / conditioned it I used the custard as a leave in while finishing the moisturizing process with the wild growth oil before detangling so I can do my two strand twist... first twist I saw flakes 😰 I know it’s not from the oil so I dreaded the custard until my hair got drier the flakes disappeared and my hair was shiny normal... I probably thinks it takes more time for the custard to fully get absorbed into the hair and the gel obviously holds everything in place duh that’s why we use it lol. I hate gels / stopped using them!!! I have the curling gel soufflé from their coconut hibiscus line... no it doesn’t flake but it makes my hair feel like I’ve put grease in it so I stopped using it basically a full jar... I think it’s a combo of the custard / gel that did that to you... since it takes a minute for the custard to absorb the flakes from the product mixed with the gel... sorry to hear this happened to you but it’s part of the hair journey!!!! Now I know not to buy the gel 😂😂 thank you for your review ❤️
Their max hold gels always flakes!
I have everything in this line except the gel. More then likely it’s the gel that caused the flakes every review I’ve seen when they used the gel it flakes. It seems like it’s the leave in and the gel doesn’t mix. But the shampoo, conditioner , masque , leave in and the custard r amazing .
Man that sucks lol. My favorite gel from shea moisture is the cocnut and hibiscus gel. THE only thing is it leaves my hair feeling sticky but my curls pop and my hair stays moist for over a week. Could you do a review of the high porosity gel? I've used it 2 times and noticed gel like flakes coming out of my hair and don't quite know why lol.
I used the Manuka Honey Hydrate & Design Max Hold in a two strand twist. I washed used a leave in and twisted. My twist were so hard and it seemed like I used glue. I untwisted my hair and it was hard and crunchy. I don't think I used that much. It was HORRIBLE so I washed my hair and tried it as w wash and go, my hair dried and it was so Dry. This product does not work for me. My hair is 4 a. Thank goodness tomorrow is a holiday it will give me time to fix it. When they come out with a new line, the should have sample sizes, I just paid almost 11 for something I can't use.
Love their deep conditioners....but they have consistently failed at gels🤷🏾♀️
I love this range but have never used the gel I use the twisting custard and seal with castor oil I think the gel is wat caused the flakes, whenever I seal with gel it creates flakes
I bought this gel at target the other day and used it on my edges only, and it was flake city so I’m getting my 7.99 back
You are so pretty! Love your makeup! ❤️
I think you combined too many products. You could have used either the leave-in with the gel or custard with the gel.
I received my 1st curlbox in May and have not used the products yet. I haven't decided what hair cocktail to pair. Btw no shade curlfriend baobab is pronounced (bay-oh-bob). Anther tip hot water gets rid of flakes.
Oops
I misspelled another
I want to try this line .. minus the gel.. everything is $10 each
I had the same issue my twist out was really defined but it was flaky as hell think i wld try without the gel to see
Sis, I got CurlBOX and the first thing I did was throw out the gel.
Hated the smell and reviews on that gel were terrible. 😐
Stacey-Ann Gordon Wow
Were you able to find out if the custard flakes aswell? I want to try it but I ain't trying to waste my mola 💰 🙃🙃
Love you ♥
No I haven’t tried it yet but I believe some ppl in the comments were discussing it .. and LOVE YOU TOO ❤️❤️❤️
I think I’m going to try these products but I don’t think that I would use the gel. I don’t really use gels anyway.
Would you recommend this deep conditioner for moisture or protein treatment? Or if you know any deep conditioners for moisture for low porosity 4c hair?
Never tried the gel 😐 but I like the leave in and deep conditioner
That reminds me of the Cantu defining gel.. it feels great but it's flaky af.
