Why the shipping isn’t a problem for me: It’s simple math. This product is $16.99 for 16oz nearly a dollar per ounce. Plus $10 shipping is $26.99 for 16 oz right? Ok so before this came out I actually purchased the Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai twisting butter. It was also $16.99.....for 8oz. Shipping aside, that’s the same price for half the product. Let that sink in. And then we get to shipping, you might think that shipping makes up for it right? Wrong. To get the same amount of product as the Melanin Twisting Creme, I’d have to purchase two of the Camille Twisting Butters. That’s $33.98 for 16oz of product as opposed to $26.99 for 16oz. This is a VERY reasonably priced product for the amount you get shipping included. If you go by amount, people pay just as much or even more for similar products all the time. We just don’t notice cause we usually buy 8oz at a time. If we were regularly spending over $30 at a time for products nobody would complain about her price. Heck we’d be praising it.
I'm praising it, it's so cheap. I usually pay a lot more! It's going to last me like 4-6 months... If not longer! And I can use it for wash and gos? Sis! She can have all my money!
Bri Gilmore Hall Foreal tho! When I saw how much it was I decided that even if it only worked as well as my almond jai butter did that I would toss that butter and only buy Melanin from now on. Of course it works ten-times better that almond butter ever did and I am in LOVE.
I LOVE BLACK HAIR. LOVE IT! My daughters had hair down to their butts. They are now 36 and 31 now. . Oldest one still has her long hair and the youngest one cut hers. 😢 Anyway, I would wash, condition and braid their hair, between my thighs every Sunday. Their hair was very long and very healthy. I miss those days. Our hair is the best because it is so versatile. We can wear it in so many styles and we can make it as straight as we want to. Just need to keep it healthy.🤗
You know you are the first one with 4C hair that I've seen try that product no shade or anybody else but everybody else that use that product that I have seen as looser curl thank you my sister for letting us know sisters with 4C hair that it can work for us
Robin Smith I am a year late and just purchased the whole product line. I kept scouring the internet for Rose one with 4b/4c hair and NOTHING! I’ve already tried the product a couple of times, but I’m glad I found this video!
Christina Washington Arts The leave in is my fav! It is a really good detangler and leaves hair moist. I would definitely repurchase for myself and my daughter who has very thick, dense, 4b/c hair. The cream is not very moisturizing to me but will leave you with a very defined twist or braid out. The verdict is still out on the oil. I should probably try the loc method to see how the cream and oil perform.
I put this on Whitney's twist out video but repeat it here... yeah like it that much... LOL... did mine two weeks ago and it is still going strong! I'm a 4C low porosity and twist outs never ever work right for me. Take days and days to dry and then don't hold the curl. But I did this and used it with Mane choice gel as my last layer. I used a t shirt to soak up any excess product. Some amazing things happened 1) First the first time ever my hair dried in 24 hours instead of 3 4 days! 2) No flaking! (I had used that mane choice before and it flaked like crazy. The only reason I used it this time because it was the only gel I had in the house. I don't like gels because they make my hair crunchy (cast) or flaky) This time I used it with Melanin and no flakes! 3) its 2 weeks and its still defined and going strong... in fact each day it has gotten bigger and fluffier. I hate to wash it and start over... its so pretty LOL. 4) each twist was well defined! no I don't feel like participating today twists LOL. and the more I divided them the cuter they got! I'm so happy I can finally wear a twist out after NINE LONG YEARS of trying! Its so funny, my hair now looks exactly like my favorite natural wig, LOL. Someone asked me are you wearing your wig or is that your hair, LOL too funny. BTW I will be 56 in july. Hair over 50 is different hair than what it is in your 30s. So glad this product worked for this Golden Girl!
Thank u Lol I try wash an go An twist always have white crap in my hair like fuck I’m not re washing my hair ppl can think I’m nasty lol I got try the shirt thing
Fast is less then an hour. My hair is completely dry in 15 min. And when I put in product it dries about 30 min with product, that is fast. As far as the roots it could be, one or two things. Your roots are healthy with good sebum on it OR your roots are covered in buildup, either way your ends are porous.
@@Brownmahfun there's no timing to this. Your environment and even the shampoo and conditioner you used may make your hair dry faster or slower and that's without taking into consideration things like your density, length, strand thickness and coarseness
Very smart! When I make purchases, I usually buy in "bulk" to get free shipping. I know I will love Naptural85's products, so I'll buy as much as necessary to get free shipping. No brainer for me.
The shipping is the main reason why I did not purchase...yet. It was in my cart for a minute and then I was like nah not yet. I need to see some reviews first. 😄
@@TheRette19 The shipping though is expensive, but I ordered 2 and got free shipping. But guess what. I'm not disappointed. I did a rachet twist out on my hair - no detangling, no anything. Believe me I was so sorry I didnt detangle when I saw my hair - it looked so good and the curls were so defined. Just imagine how it would've been if I had done it properly.
Black SAGE Oh really?!!!! Ok I feel better now, I’ll probably just buy 2 then....what a marketing tactic that “no shipping” is lol Did you buy the oil? Look now I can’t be buying 2 jars and the oil!!! This is getting costly! LOL My hair is hella dry too, hopefully it works for me😫
We don’t need scents (fragrance) in our hair products! Can we say endocrine system?! Most natural hair care products have fragrance which is code for over 3,000 chemicals hidden in one word. These chemicals will disrupt your endocrine system and mess your hormones. #aintnobodygottimeforthat
have you considered adding a few drops of essential oil (jamin, ylang ylang etc that you would blend in the piece of butter you need to put in your hair before you twist them ?
You don’t know what you’re talking about. How can a fragrance mess with the endocrine system when the endocrine system only responds to proteins or the appropriate ligands that lead to biochemical processes in the body??? Would walking through a garden or forest and touching plants disrupt our endocrine system as well? This is why science classes are so important in this country.
Like most naturals, I have a combination texture of hair on my head! We all get different results in different areas of our head depending on the texture. I am a combination of 4b and 4c. I always use a gel on top of my styler and a good leave in conditioner because I like hold. This helps my twist outs last longer. I have only tried a wash and go once, it just didn’t work for me, I ended up twisting it.
Kathy MahoneStreet I have the same issue; between the 2 to 3 kinds of type 4 hair on my head, plus having 2 different densities, twist outs are a real challenge. I have done successful wash and goes, but I have to shingle parts of my hair to get consistent definition throughout my head.
My hair is similar to your in texture. I was always frustrated with the extreme definition only at the roots of the flat twists. Try doing a 3-strand twist in order to retain good definition all the way to the ends of your twist. You can do a 3 strand twist from the beginning of the flat twist, or you can switch from 2-strand to a 3-strand twist when you reach the free part of the twist. Let us know how this works out for you!
Oh I tried this product line and my twist out turned out beautiful! I can’t wait to try a wash and go using this product line. It worked great for my hair. My hair is soft and fine textured
The mobility, the volume, the definition! All round star! -- If you do decide to check your porosity, don't do the water test. It's wholly inaccurate due to surface tension. But going off your preference for heavier products, you're most likely on the higher end of the spectrum.
Girl I feel you on the shipping, I just ordered mine, when I saw how much the shipping was I just ordered more product... I'd rather have more product than pay for shipping 😁 so i did get the oil & the head wrap, which is adorable ( I wear head wraps all the time anyway at my restaurant to keep the hair out my face ) can't wait to receive mines 😊
Melanin is apparently great for 4c hair, but my hair is 3c and it changed the texture of my hair. I wanted to really like it, but It didn't work for me. It really makes 4c longer hair look great. Bravo!
@@Naakie So far I have tried it with the Mane Choice 24k gel and my hair is super defined and still soft. I left the twists in for a couple of days. I didn't even bother to fluff. I also have the wetline xtreme gel but I haven't tried that one yet. It alone gives great definition, so we will see.
I used my melanin for a twist out on dry hair, it left my hair soft and moisturized. It did not hold up in the Georgia weather in February, it frizzed up. I like it as well as Camille Rose, but not better. I will use both but Camille Rose really works for my hair. I will definitely have to use a strong gel with it. Both products are worth the money!
You must be glycerin sensitive. That is what makes your hair frizz in humidity. Check out evaniwithav's channel. She is glycerin sensitive and does a lot of reviews on products with that caveat in mind.
V. S. Thanks, I will check out the channel. I live in Georgia a high humidity state year around at times especially Summer months. Glycerin pulls moisture from the air and it swells our hair strands, even when it was relaxed.
Patricia Starchia I use the Camille Rose twisting jai butter, the cream gel, ginger cleanser shampoo and the leave in conditioner milk. The coconut conditioner as well. I have not used any of the newer collection of her products yet. I have to many of the original products that work really well.
I like her products..ordered enough oil to get the free shipping..just in case did not like the cream..but I do. I would love if she had a natural scent to the cream and created a deep con. I'm sure in time she will add other products. I also like smelling my hair scent during the day.
Dang girl those flat twists are neat and tight. Your hair is gorgeous. When you do your flat twists in that front part, use a bobby pin to hold it down before you twist the loose end. I have this same problem in the front of my hair also.
The oil is actually really good! Smells refreshing and great to add to hair even though I am no more an oil person either, the oil definitely moisturizer my hair. I mix it with my cocoa butter on my body. The jar is HUGE and should last months if you’re stuck on the shipping cost. I’ve spent 20 plus on 8oz jars. Like Deva Curl or Miss Jessie’s. This will definitely last you longer. 💫💫
Your hair came out nice. Instead of me paying for shipping, I pre-ordered 2 of her hair creams and one oil...the oil is non-greasy and very nice. Plus her oil smells like lemons. I love it and I'm not an oil kind of girl. Thanks for your video.
If your hair doesn't easily or quickly absorb product, you're probably low porosity. I just learned what all this means but I have hair that will suck up some Softee grease if I tried and look at me crazy like where's the rest!
I don’t see why everyone in the comment sections on every review I’ve seen keeps bringing up the shipping. She’s a small mom and pop company. Just starting off she can’t afford to be giving out free shipping. We gotta support our own especially when they’re trying to bring something great to us.
Thanks for reemphasizing what I already stated in the video! At 18:08 I say that while I think the shipping is steep, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND because it is a small business. I also move on to wish her so much success (because she deserves it) that they begin to ship on a much larger scale and can take advantage of cheaper shipping rates. I purchased her first launch, I’ve already preordered her second launch (leave in moisturizer), and I will likely continue to purchase her future launches because I support her journey, what she has done for the natural hair community, and her overall brand.
My exact words when I clicked the “check out” button on my order lmao. But I would definitely do the $45 order for free shipping next time. I personally think it’s worth it.
Seriously that shipping has me on hold cos ididnt want to order n be stuck with product i dont like. I am waiting to see more 4z girls review b4 i push that button
The shipping was a heavy statement. I bought the cream and oil. I got no lollipop. I’m salty. Both products were pretty good. Like a week of moisture and easy hair styling.
I don't know about you, but when I put oil in my hair while styling it lessens the definition, breaking down whatever product I put on before it. Maybe that's why the ends weren't as defined, because of the oil you put on. Have you tried without the extra oil? It came out beautiful regardless!
I have 4b 4c as well. The first time I used the product i didnt like it. I usually use Giovanni direct leavein and kinky curly custard. I added the elongating cream after my leavein and I love it. It elongates my hair and makes my fine hair thicken up(in twists). I dont do wash n go's anymore, ive focused on mastering twist outs.
I was rolling when you walk away🙋🏾 LMBO. The oil is amazing but very light floral scent I really like it to .......,,,,,that cream is amazing sauce your hair is bomb my 4 hair type lovess ❤️❤️❤️ it .
You are so crazy! I enjoyed the video and your hair looks so healthy. It does have a lot of body. I have the same type of 4c hair as you. I also have alot of shrinkage but with that product it does not look like you have shrinkage. Great video
Thanks babe. Now I know to base my scalp with oil, then water per each section AND THEN add the product. Let it sit for however long and then twist it out.
The water test isn’t good for knowing your porosity, it’s based off the behavior of your hair. Since your hair takes so long to get dry I would say you might have low porosity hair
One thing I notice about your hair in ALL of your videos, is that those ends are always clipped and even. I mean you're never on RUclips in need of a trim. What is your trimming schedule? Do you trim yourself or go to a salon? Your hair looks so healthy! And it's so noticeable when you do your twist! I hope you have time to respond to this comment. 🤞
I really trim as needed. I’ve been trimming a lot (probably too much) lately. Sometimes I blow dry my hair myself and then go somewhere like Supercuts or Great Clips to get a trim (I look for someone who also has natural hair to do it haha). Other times I’ll dust my ends when my hair is in twist on wash days. But only when my ends are feeling super rough or I’m seeing too many split ends/breakage. I have NO tried and true method which is why I’ve never filmed a video on it 😩
I think your hair looks good - you seems to have at least 2 or 3 different textures in your hair though as some twists came out super defined and some came out just a little fuzzy. I think the hair around your forehead is coarser/thicker and some areas seemed shorter, too, so you have different lengths as well. But still - you can rock this hairstyle and be confident because it's cute. Even people who didn't like the product (yes, there are some people who didn't) their hair style still looked super cute. I like a good scent in a product, too, but I can do scentless. I usually use chi silk in my hair as a finisher to - add a good sent - anyway. So I would probably continue doing that if I had these products.
I'm glad I found your channel we have the same type of hair its just yours is longer than mine. I cant wait for when my hair grows long and thick like yours it will look the same
Finally! I see a review for hair that looks just like mine~~ Loving the way this turned out~ I just ordered mine! I don't plan to use a leave-in because I never do, but I'll see how it sits with flaxseed gel
"Rub it and rub it and stroke it and love it" 🤣🤣🤣 You have low porosity for sure. Gorgeous twist out! That product is worth the shipping, but you get free shipping for orders over $45. That's what I did, zero regret lol.
Your hair looks really nice after the Melanin product. I have the same issue with my hair. The back holds well when I undo the twist, more coily. The top of my head, especially the front doesn't twist well, no matter how long I leave my hair in twists. The hair at the top and front areas are less coily, straighter and finer. I really want to try these products but the postage will be so expensive as I live in the UK 🇬🇧. Where did you purchase the spray water bottle?
How did I miss this!!!! Hey girl , its been a minute -- excited to be watching this video. naptural85 Is everything, I wonder If they send to south Africa ( Ill check it out) Thanks Girl!
Considering the amount of product in the containers shipping is reasonable in my opinion. However I don’t like paying shipping when I can add another product and they all ship free. Her oil is amazing!
So the porosity test with the water wasn't accurate for me all this time I thought I was high porosity and come to find out I'm low porosity. My hair doesn't hold moisture nor does it release which is why it always looked so dry. . But that Shea moisture low porosity shampoo and conditioner works miracles for sure. I'm wanting to try this melanin elongating cream next because my coils never stay stretched 🙄.
Your hair looks lovely, great product review. I am 4B/4C too and look forward to buying and using these Melanin products. I will probably buy the oil and her scarf too, the shipping will be free. 🥰
Your hair looks great. However, a little light oil is needed for more shine. After your twist or braids air dry, add some grapeseed oil and/or jojoba, before unraveling.
14:47 if you have very thick dense natural 4C hair then your hair is low porosity. one way of testing to find out is if you put deep conditioner on your hair and it takes a long time to absorb, where it just sits on your hair then you have low porosity hair.
Can someone please explain to me what is 4c hair? I've never heard that term used before. I'm a new natural. Trying to get my hair healthy. I really need some tips on how to begin.
I've watched several videos on this product, and you were the first to mentione the shipping could be cheaper. Olive oil sits on my hair. Almond and grapeseed oils absorbs right in. Your flat twist out looks good. I've yet been able to master them on my hair. Love your personality.
I’m so excited to try her products! 🤗 Also, did you only buy this product? Cause shipping anywhere else for a $15 product is still gonna be “steep” lol You don’t get free or cheaper shipping until you spend more…..so I guess I’ll spend more. But I was gon do that anyway cuz that’s just how I am lmaoo
Gorgeous head of hair love it 🤗👌 I'm 4c with some 4b and just can't get the fact that almost everyone thinks 4c hair should look one way 😶🙄 it's getting annoying
I really want to order the Melanin Haircare products but I live in Canada. The shipping rates are a major problem and the math doesn't work out. International shipping is $30 US/$38 CAD Products is $16.99 US/ $20.05 CAD So this product is really $58.05 CAD plus custom fees and duties Sorry, as much as I want to support Naptural. This is just too much. I have ordered other black hair care products from US businesses and the international shipping rates are much lower.
She had me cracking up 😂😂 The hair is truly gorgeous though. I wonder if it is good for transitioning naturals. My mother wants to stop perming her hair now after seeing mine flourish.
Are you low in prososity? That might be why your hair is still wet at the front. I have the same problem too, but this is just my opinion. Everyone hair is different
Had to stop when you said the shipping was $10. Nope! I don’t need any new products so will have to wait, I’ve got way too much stuff in my arsenal. But your hair at the beginning look gorgeous!
I thought the same thing at first. But consider this. The jar is 16oz of cream, more than the usual 8oz, so it's heavy. I watched a (positive) video on the design of the jar too, which makes a difference in how much product you're getting. Shipping is free after $45. I added the oil, which can be used on your body as well, and the visor for twist days at the gym.
+Tanya White I couldn't agree more. I refuse to pay $26.99 for a butter, which I don't need. To get free shipping, you have to spend $45.00, but there aren't $45.00 worth of anything on that site that I want; all I want is the butter. In sum, it's a pass for me.
Why the shipping isn’t a problem for me: It’s simple math. This product is $16.99 for 16oz nearly a dollar per ounce. Plus $10 shipping is $26.99 for 16 oz right?

Hands up for type 4 hair 🙋🏽♀️!
You would love the oil. It works great with the cream and doesn’t leave a greasy feel. It’s almost like the oil helps the cream soak in
I ordered it along with the new leave in conditioner! I’m excited to try it
If your hair dries quickly, it is high porosity. If it dries slowly or takes a while to be dry, then it’s low porosity.
Yes you are right, that is how you can tell and if it gets wet quickly means its high po.
What's considered fast? Also my roots dry slow but hair dry fast
Fast is less then an hour. My hair is completely dry in 15 min. And when I put in product it dries about 30 min with product, that is fast. As far as the roots it could be, one or two things. Your roots are healthy with good sebum on it OR your roots are covered in buildup, either way your ends are porous.
This is the most simple explanation about porosity EVER! Thank you!

I could cryyy . I finally found someone with my EXAAAACTTTT HAIR TYPE😭😭❤
💛💛💛💛💛💛
Its annoying because YT only promotes certain hair types and lengths/fullness.
Do you think I could get a those results without twisting it?
I love how moisturized my hair feels, not greasy on no strong scent. I don’t mind $10.00 shipping for 16oz of product.
Loved this review. I have purchased this product and it melted in my 4c hair also. I purchased the oil and used it along with the shea butter....BOMB.

You can do a 3 strand twist from the beginning of the flat twist, or you can switch from 2-strand to a 3-strand twist when you reach the free part of the twist. Let us know how this works out for you!
Oh I tried this product line and my twist out turned out beautiful! I can’t wait to try a wash and go using this product line. It worked great for my hair. My hair is soft and fine textured
The mobility, the volume, the definition! All round star!
-- If you do decide to check your porosity, don't do the water test. It's wholly inaccurate due to surface tension. But going off your preference for heavier products, you're most likely on the higher end of the spectrum.
Thanks for your insight! Very helpful
RESULTS ARE POPPIN!! 🙌🏾😍
Girl I feel you on the shipping, I just ordered mine, when I saw how much the shipping was I just ordered more product... I'd rather have more product than pay for shipping 😁 so i did get the oil & the head wrap, which is adorable ( I wear head wraps all the time anyway at my restaurant to keep the hair out my face ) can't wait to receive mines 😊
Pajama Mama's Kitchen yum rev
Do you like it?
I think it might be a plus for "no scent" bcuz you can personalize the product with your fav essential oil scent💧🤔
The lighting in the video is impeccable.
Melanin is apparently great for 4c hair, but my hair is 3c and it changed the texture of my hair. I wanted to really like it, but It didn't work for me. It really makes 4c longer hair look great. Bravo!
Try it with your favorite gel and your definition will last for days! My hair is super soft and it is NOT greasy.
Thanks for the reco! Are there any gels you would recommend for twist outs? I generally don’t use gel on twists. Just for edges, ponytails, etc.
@@Naakie So far I have tried it with the Mane Choice 24k gel and my hair is super defined and still soft. I left the twists in for a couple of days. I didn't even bother to fluff. I also have the wetline xtreme gel but I haven't tried that one yet. It alone gives great definition, so we will see.
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
I used my melanin for a twist out on dry hair, it left my hair soft and moisturized. It did not hold up in the Georgia weather in February, it frizzed up. I like it as well as Camille Rose, but not better. I will use both but Camille Rose really works for my hair. I will definitely have to use a strong gel with it. Both products are worth the money!
You must be glycerin sensitive. That is what makes your hair frizz in humidity. Check out evaniwithav's channel. She is glycerin sensitive and does a lot of reviews on products with that caveat in mind.
V. S. Thanks, I will check out the channel. I live in Georgia a high humidity state year around at times especially Summer months. Glycerin pulls moisture from the air and it swells our hair strands, even when it was relaxed.
Kathy MahoneStreet Hi , can I ask which Camille Rose products do you use ?
Patricia Starchia I use the Camille Rose twisting jai butter, the cream gel, ginger cleanser shampoo and the leave in conditioner milk. The coconut conditioner as well. I have not used any of the newer collection of her products yet. I have to many of the original products that work really well.
Use a gel on top. I live in the south of Florida and I use the oil, then the cream, then a gel. Gurrrrrrlll....game changer!
😂 "It's lookin' real 4c." I have never related so much in my life.
So far everyone I've seen use this product loves it...but the shipping got me tripping. Your hairs looks fantastic! 😘
Thank you!! 💕💕
@@Naakie You're Welcome. Love you channel. Being sommmeWhaTTT of aaa product JUnnKieee....I ordered the creme and oil...VeVa La 👑Naptural85😘
Jae Bea yes! That shipping had me like
@@tanyawhite361 Right...I wanna support black business...and get a good product but $10 shipping 😉
Yea I realized its because it’s her thats shipping it but still like: 😩😩😩 lol 😂
I absolutely LOVE your Personality. I look forward to checking out more of your videos.
I like her products..ordered enough oil to get the free shipping..just in case did not like the cream..but I do. I would love if she had a natural scent to the cream and created a deep con. I'm sure in time she will add other products. I also like smelling my hair scent during the day.
Im so glad you did this and so glad it worked out! Naptural is everything.
Girl you gonna get whiplash. Your hair is gorgeous.
Dang girl those flat twists are neat and tight. Your hair is gorgeous. When you do your flat twists in that front part, use a bobby pin to hold it down before you twist the loose end. I have this same problem in the front of my hair also.
The oil is actually really good! Smells refreshing and great to add to hair even though I am no more an oil person either, the oil definitely moisturizer my hair. I mix it with my cocoa butter on my body.
The jar is HUGE and should last months if you’re stuck on the shipping cost. I’ve spent 20 plus on 8oz jars. Like Deva Curl or Miss Jessie’s. This will definitely last you longer. 💫💫
I love the entire Melanin line. I have seen nothing but positive results.
Your hair came out nice. Instead of me paying for shipping, I pre-ordered 2 of her hair creams and one oil...the oil is non-greasy and very nice. Plus her oil smells like lemons. I love it and I'm not an oil kind of girl. Thanks for your video.
If your hair doesn't easily or quickly absorb product, you're probably low porosity. I just learned what all this means but I have hair that will suck up some Softee grease if I tried and look at me crazy like where's the rest!
I don’t see why everyone in the comment sections on every review I’ve seen keeps bringing up the shipping. She’s a small mom and pop company. Just starting off she can’t afford to be giving out free shipping. We gotta support our own especially when they’re trying to bring something great to us.
Thanks for reemphasizing what I already stated in the video! At 18:08 I say that while I think the shipping is steep, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND because it is a small business. I also move on to wish her so much success (because she deserves it) that they begin to ship on a much larger scale and can take advantage of cheaper shipping rates. I purchased her first launch, I’ve already preordered her second launch (leave in moisturizer), and I will likely continue to purchase her future launches because I support her journey, what she has done for the natural hair community, and her overall brand.
I didn’t mean you. I meant in the comment sections. Not the actual RUclipsrs. I should probably make that clearer
$10 for shipping?!?! Danggg
If you order 45.00 or more free shipping!
Yh plus if you live in Canada they charge duties and fees for that delivery 🤦🏿♀️ $24
My exact words when I clicked the “check out” button on my order lmao. But I would definitely do the $45 order for free shipping next time. I personally think it’s worth it.
Seriously that shipping has me on hold cos ididnt want to order n be stuck with product i dont like. I am waiting to see more 4z girls review b4 i push that button
Naakie Nartey that’s what I did! I got the oil and the cream and I LOVE them both!
The shipping was a heavy statement. I bought the cream and oil. I got no lollipop. I’m salty. Both products were pretty good. Like a week of moisture and easy hair styling.
I had to subscribe to support my fellow Ghanaian sista! Your hair looks great!
Amma Boakye yeah girl you 'r right ... Check my channel also I'm a 🇬🇭baby
I don't know about you, but when I put oil in my hair while styling it lessens the definition, breaking down whatever product I put on before it. Maybe that's why the ends weren't as defined, because of the oil you put on. Have you tried without the extra oil? It came out beautiful regardless!
I have 4b 4c as well. The first time I used the product i didnt like it. I usually use Giovanni direct leavein and kinky curly custard. I added the elongating cream after my leavein and I love it. It elongates my hair and makes my fine hair thicken up(in twists). I dont do wash n go's anymore, ive focused on mastering twist outs.
I was rolling when you walk away🙋🏾 LMBO. The oil is amazing but very light floral scent I really like it to .......,,,,,that cream is amazing sauce your hair is bomb my 4 hair type lovess ❤️❤️❤️ it .
You are so crazy! I enjoyed the video and your hair looks so healthy. It does have a lot of body. I have the same type of 4c hair as you. I also have alot of shrinkage but with that product it does not look like you have shrinkage. Great video
Yes! This product definitely does “elongate” your twists. I tried it again on wet hair and still have pretty good stretch.
your gair loiks so good !!! i think im gonna have to buy it too 95% of the reviews are positive !
Thank you! 💕
Thanks babe. Now I know to base my scalp with oil, then water per each section AND THEN add the product. Let it sit for however long and then twist it out.
That twist out is beautiful. I just bought mine. Hope it comes out half as beautiful as yours.😊
The water test isn’t good for knowing your porosity, it’s based off the behavior of your hair. Since your hair takes so long to get dry I would say you might have low porosity hair
Good to know the water test isn’t very accurate! I know there are a few online tests. I may try one of those.
Yeah, from what she said about products on her hair... sounds like she has low porosity. I know I do.
One thing I notice about your hair in ALL of your videos, is that those ends are always clipped and even. I mean you're never on RUclips in need of a trim. What is your trimming schedule? Do you trim yourself or go to a salon? Your hair looks so healthy! And it's so noticeable when you do your twist! I hope you have time to respond to this comment. 🤞
I really trim as needed. I’ve been trimming a lot (probably too much) lately. Sometimes I blow dry my hair myself and then go somewhere like Supercuts or Great Clips to get a trim (I look for someone who also has natural hair to do it haha). Other times I’ll dust my ends when my hair is in twist on wash days. But only when my ends are feeling super rough or I’m seeing too many split ends/breakage. I have NO tried and true method which is why I’ve never filmed a video on it 😩
I think your hair looks good - you seems to have at least 2 or 3 different textures in your hair though as some twists came out super defined and some came out just a little fuzzy. I think the hair around your forehead is coarser/thicker and some areas seemed shorter, too, so you have different lengths as well. But still - you can rock this hairstyle and be confident because it's cute. Even people who didn't like the product (yes, there are some people who didn't) their hair style still looked super cute. I like a good scent in a product, too, but I can do scentless. I usually use chi silk in my hair as a finisher to - add a good sent - anyway. So I would probably continue doing that if I had these products.
I have ordered it and hope to get it soon. I only ordered the elongation cream as well but I didn’t want to pay shipping so I ordered 3!
I should’ve ordered 3 😩 I definitely see me using 3+ jars of this stuff.
YESSSS I JUST ORDERED HER NEW CONDITIONER AND CREAM IM SO EXCITED 😭
Sis your hair turned out pretty. Your video was delightful. Thank you for sharing. May God bless you and your family.
I'm glad I found your channel we have the same type of hair its just yours is longer than mine. I cant wait for when my hair grows long and thick like yours it will look the same
Finally! I see a review for hair that looks just like mine~~ Loving the way this turned out~ I just ordered mine! I don't plan to use a leave-in because I never do, but I'll see how it sits with flaxseed gel
Thanks for the review of the product on 4C hair. I think I will check out the products.
I loveeee the results!!!!👏🏾👌🏾 Beautiful, look at the definition and bounce! Omgg😍😍😍 I didn't even know naptural85 had her own line🙀
Naakie, I love your personality and the way you reviewed Natural85' product. Subscribed.
Oh oh this is Naptural’s product ooooohhhhhhh i have been in a cave, must binge watch reviews.
"Rub it and rub it and stroke it and love it" 🤣🤣🤣 You have low porosity for sure.
Gorgeous twist out! That product is worth the shipping, but you get free shipping for orders over $45. That's what I did, zero regret lol.
Your hair looks really nice after the Melanin product. I have the same issue with my hair. The back holds well when I undo the twist, more coily. The top of my head, especially the front doesn't twist well, no matter how long I leave my hair in twists. The hair at the top and front areas are less coily, straighter and finer.
I really want to try these products but the postage will be so expensive as I live in the UK 🇬🇧.
Where did you purchase the spray water bottle?
Your twistout looks AMAZING!!
I'm sold
Hello. I ordered Melanin products yesterday and the shipping was free.
I cannot wait to get my melanin Haircare order and do your style 😆😆😆It looks so good and healthy!! Thank you for your video!!
How did I miss this!!!! Hey girl , its been a minute -- excited to be watching this video. naptural85 Is everything, I wonder If they send to south Africa ( Ill check it out) Thanks Girl!
I love it. I got the Melanin cream and the oil. I’m not an oil person but I figured I’d try it. Yes the shipping was a bit much.
How did you tie your scarf like that at 8:06???
Awesome results!! Can’t wait to receive my order (ordered yesterday).
I actually finally found my hair twin!!! subscribed!!
👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Considering the amount of product in the containers shipping is reasonable in my opinion. However I don’t like paying shipping when I can add another product and they all ship free. Her oil is amazing!
Bravo! That was a wonderful review. My box came tuhday! I can't wait to try this product.
Do you feel like your hair detangles pretty easily with this product? I've already got it in my cart, just waiting til I got a little extra to pay.
Dan and Am I just used mine last night and it makes your hair soooooo smooth!!!! It literally melts tangles
Can you do a video on the Bantu knot on the end? I have watched videos but cant seem to get right 🧐
I didn’t get a lollipop, but I love the product 😍
So the porosity test with the water wasn't accurate for me all this time I thought I was high porosity and come to find out I'm low porosity. My hair doesn't hold moisture nor does it release which is why it always looked so dry. . But that Shea moisture low porosity shampoo and conditioner works miracles for sure. I'm wanting to try this melanin elongating cream next because my coils never stay stretched 🙄.
Your hair looks lovely, great product review. I am 4B/4C too and look forward to buying and using these Melanin products. I will probably buy the oil and her scarf too, the shipping will be free. 🥰
Your hair looks great. However, a little light oil is needed for more shine. After your twist or braids air dry, add some grapeseed oil and/or jojoba, before unraveling.
14:47 if you have very thick dense natural 4C hair then your hair is low porosity. one way of testing to find out is if you put deep conditioner on your hair and it takes a long time to absorb, where it just sits on your hair then you have low porosity hair.
So glad to see this review. May need to check this product out because I love Naptutal85.
You won’t be disappointed! 💕
Can someone please explain to me what is 4c hair? I've never heard that term used before. I'm a new natural. Trying to get my hair healthy. I really need some tips on how to begin.
Hi, do you still use it? I have to use too much product for results.
I've watched several videos on this product, and you were the first to mentione the shipping could be cheaper. Olive oil sits on my hair. Almond and grapeseed oils absorbs right in. Your flat twist out looks good. I've yet been able to master them on my hair. Love your personality.
Thanks! And yeah the shipping was definitely my biggest complaint. Next time I order I’ll probably order enough to qualify for free shipping.
Yes olive oil doesn't do anything to my hair.
I’m so excited to try her products! 🤗
Also, did you only buy this product? Cause shipping anywhere else for a $15 product is still gonna be “steep” lol You don’t get free or cheaper shipping until you spend more…..so I guess I’ll spend more. But I was gon do that anyway cuz that’s just how I am lmaoo
Gorgeous head of hair love it 🤗👌
I'm 4c with some 4b and just can't get the fact that almost everyone thinks 4c hair should look one way 😶🙄 it's getting annoying
Trust me when I say, you should try the oil, too. You'll be, pleasantly, surprised.
I really want to order the Melanin Haircare products but I live in Canada. The shipping rates are a major problem and the math doesn't work out.
International shipping is $30 US/$38 CAD
Products is $16.99 US/ $20.05 CAD
So this product is really $58.05 CAD plus custom fees and duties
Sorry, as much as I want to support Naptural. This is just too much. I have ordered other black hair care products from US businesses and the international shipping rates are much lower.
You might want to try a black tea rinse on your hair along with a deep conditioner! It helped my breakages
Is that the FeliCa leatherwood brush?
aniya madaris yes it is. You can only get it from their site.
aniya madaris , Yes, it did look like the Felicia Leatherwood brush to me. I think you’re right.
All that head shaking makes me wanna try it. I’m at the awkward stage and my hair never has body
You'll get there. Your tiara will grow into a beautiful crown:)
I received mine yesterday and washed and applied the cream and oil so waiting to see what it looks like tomorrow . Your hair looks great!
She had me cracking up 😂😂 The hair is truly gorgeous though. I wonder if it is good for transitioning naturals. My mother wants to stop perming her hair now after seeing mine flourish.
How long will this last though? No-one has convinced me to buy these twisting creams. Grease is superior & cheaper IMO.
I am currently loving Camille Rose, it will be interesting to see if I like Melanin better.
Which was better?
Are you low in prososity? That might be why your hair is still wet at the front. I have the same problem too, but this is just my opinion. Everyone hair is different
Yes ooo! Another Ghanaian youtuber😊
Had to stop when you said the shipping was $10. Nope! I don’t need any new products so will have to wait, I’ve got way too much stuff in my arsenal. But your hair at the beginning look gorgeous!
I thought the same thing at first. But consider this. The jar is 16oz of cream, more than the usual 8oz, so it's heavy. I watched a (positive) video on the design of the jar too, which makes a difference in how much product you're getting. Shipping is free after $45. I added the oil, which can be used on your body as well, and the visor for twist days at the gym.
girl plus she has some merch. $45+ es freeeee
+Tanya White I couldn't agree more. I refuse to pay $26.99 for a butter, which I don't need. To get free shipping, you have to spend $45.00, but there aren't $45.00 worth of anything on that site that I want; all I want is the butter. In sum, it's a pass for me.
@@lou1148 really I didn't get any free merch and I spent over $80🤔
@@soniaultra5428 sorry, free shipping not free free
