    Hey! I’m Nae! I'm a new RUclipsr based in Los Angeles who does weekly vlogs about my work from home life and apartment living. I'm currently on a length retention journey with my type 4 high porosity natural hair and post videos on that as well. When I'm not working my 9-5 day job I'm probably spending time with loved ones, creating content, or watching Netflix, and I make videos with show and movie suggestions, and reviews! If you read this far thanks so much, go ahead and drop a 🌴 in the comments!

    Love the thorough review. If hair’s not holding well and feels dry day 1, then there’s no hope for the coming days 😩

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад +2

      To be honest…I don’t even think it would work well for your hair. I know the texture of your hair and I don’t think it would do much 😭😭😭 but maybe I’m wrong

    • @sarabytheseacreates
      @sarabytheseacreates Год назад +1

      After your review I’m getting nervous to try it lol. Your issues with it are exactly what I was worried about. I use the uncle funkys and I create hold as well but the I like to use a curl cream under sometimes too. And I lather them all on, so I’m curious to see how 4U can hold up. But I’m gonna try the curl cream and gel only. If it’s really for all hair types and that’s the extent of their styling line, it should be able to muscle up. We’ll see🤣

    This review went exactly how I thought it would. 4U doesn’t seem like it’s 4 type 4. Even the one post they made of a type 4 girly looked crazy. But I feel like this always happens when brands try to label one product for all when it just doesn’t work that way. Thanks for the review boo! very imformative!!

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад +2

      I wanted to love it but as soon as the gel hit my hair, I knew better 😭 they definitely need a line specifically for type 4s. This is a line for people with transitioning hair or fine strands IMO

    I knew when she said, "this is black hair" she was gaslighting and pandering. Clearly these products were not going to be designed for "4" anything hair...lol.

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад +5

      Listen! I actually didn't see that video until after I bought the products, but I don't think any type 4 would consider her hair typical "black hair" The gaslighting in the promo videos is...a lot. Having type 4s as the thumbnail but never actually showing them using the product is WILD.

  • @msdiva
    @msdiva Год назад +15

    I've watched several reviews of this line. The gel appears to be geared toward hair textures that clump & form defined curls/coils on their own. Naturals with tight coils & kinks often need a product to clump & define their coils & lock them in place. This gel, unfortunately, ain't it. Tia needs to come out with stylers for tight coils & kinks.

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад +3

      Yea I honestly would have preferred for them to just say this was for looser curl types and then put in more research and launch a separate line for tighter coils. The gel is really light weight and just didn't hit the mark as far a definition or moisture IMO.

  • @JustTanoe
    @JustTanoe Год назад +1

    Thank you for the detailed review. I do wonder how the gel pairs us with Uncle funky curl magic. I would like to Tru that combo, but so far, I haven't been curious enough to purchase based on other reviews I have seen for tighter curls.

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад +1

      NP! Hmmm that with the UFD would be an interesting mix, although I think the curly magic can hold its own when it comes to slip and definition. The 4U gel isn't coming close to what curly magic can do.

  • @candacejohnson5470
    @candacejohnson5470 Год назад +4

    Thanks for a great review. I'm always curious when products are marketed as "for all types" if they really tested it on a range of types.

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад +2

      NP! Yeah when I kept seeing that it was for "all types" I had high hopes but I definitely don't feel like they actually had any type 4s try this before the launch, unfortunately.

  • @ZalinaW
    @ZalinaW Год назад

    You confirmed by suspicion that the conditioners are not for 4C hair. In reviewing the ingredients on the back of each container, there was only one major nonionic surfactant, i.e., fatty alcohol, which is the Ceteraryl Alcohol and the rest of the ingredients are emollients, I figured it would feel like a runny and thin mixture. Thanks for trying the products. It helped a lot.

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад

      I’ve been comparing notes with some of my friends as well and it seems to work slightly better if you have finer strands, but it’s still not great. Thank you so much for watching! 🤎

    Thanks so much for the detailed review. I also don’t like when natural hair lines don’t have deep conditioners included. I am interested in trying this line but I’m not a fan of the bottle designs. I actually prefer my products in jars or pump bottles but I also don’t style in the shower. I am intrigued and though I know don’t have type 4 hair, I am interested to see if this line provides moisture since the key ingredient is that hemi complex which is supposed to provide a lot of moisture. Would you consider trying the cream and gel together?

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад

      I do prefer a pump for my gels! Ok so you know about the hemi 15 I’m surprised that moisture it’s a big part of that because I didn’t feel like my hair was left moisturized.
      I was thinking about giving it another try with the curl cream, but I won’t get my hopes up about it.
      Interested to see your results because I think you have the hair type these were actually formulated for.

    are these products for high, medium, or low porosity hair?

    • @naturalnaela
      @naturalnaela  Год назад

      The 4U brand has said that these brands are for “all hair types,” I would take that with a grain of salt. However, based on that statement, it should work regardless of porosity.
      I have highpo hair and it didn’t work for me, your results could def be different.
