These products aren’t affordable for no reason. They aren’t “cheaper” for no reason. I’m looking more into black owned and idc how much the cost is atp. Thank you for taking the time out to do this.🌻
This was very informative as I am trying to make a more informed decision on selecting a shampoo for my high porosity hair since my pH is off. I do read labels (mostly for noteworthy ingredients) but I do not break them down like you did in order to understand why it was formulated and what it will do for my porous hair. I usually get confused over the marketing labels because they are vague enough to entice anyone with curly to coily hair because we all suffer from dry hair. I appreciate the work you put into this!
Hi Rae: I'm so glad it helped. I'm telling you, and anyone else, who wants to listen, the majority of these hair products, regardless of the manufacture, the core ingredients used to perform the function of the product are usually the same. Overall, all these shampoos are gentle shampoos that are not intended to strip the hair completely, like a clarifying shampoo. Don't waste your money on a shampoo. Just make sure you have a shampoo, that is not too harsh (if you are looking to do a regular shampoo), because you want the shampoo to clean, then focus on the following steps of conditioning the hair. Don't be fooled with these "featured" ingredients and claims on the front label, because most of the time they don't contribute to the function of the product. If you like a certain smell of product, then buy it b/c you like it, but not b/c the smell will make the product work better. Stay tuned, I will be posting a video on a couple of deep conditioners that I have and the first 7 ingredients are the same, but with different front labels. 🤔
I love this video soooo much! I truly appreciate the research and quality you put into making this. Definitely subscribed & I will be watching all of your videos to learn more :).
I have finally found my fav shampoo but it may change now that I have watched this.. I’m definitely about to look at the ingredients on the back of my shampoos that I own!!
Yes, please do. You don't really need to spend big money on several different shampoos. If you are buying a "manufactured" shampoo, then realize all these shampoos are made in big huge bulks with the formulas being created by cosmetic scientist that pretty much use the same formula with a tweak here and there.
They dont understand changing the ingredients can damage ppl hair? Was about to try shea moisture products but am nervous now since a few ppl on amazon said the products has gotten worse..will stick to my creme of nature
Thank you so much!!! You did an amazing job explaining and you made valid points. You look gooddd for your age! Glad your taking care of yourself:) You look beautiful and youthful! 💗🌪🦋
We use a cheap shampoo (clarifying shampoo)once a week… We spend our money on deep conditioner/mask and a mid tier leave in.. and a good gel or curl cream. I hate that most natural hair products have coconut in it.. and my daughter has low porosity coconut sensitive hair. So we have to really read labels and know what we’re buying. I’ve wasted so much money in the past buying products with coconut that wasn’t stated on the front.
Yes, I agree. Most ingredients in hair products are derived from coconuts, i.e., fatty alcohols. I wish I had low porosity hair because it's a much stronger hair type. It can endure manipulation much better, maintaining length retention.
@@ZalinaW Yes she had very healthy hair and it grows She has 3c ish hair… We struggle with the frizz. No matter what we use or how much… Obviously with low porosity if we use heavier products they just sit on top the hair. After 24-48 the hair looks oily and like it hasn’t been washed… but coconut in particular left her hair brittle and extremely dry. It was breaking off. For the longest I couldn’t figure out what it was… Stopped using the products and her hair went back to normal. Used some other products and it happened all over again.. These products didn’t say coconut on the front but had it in the ingredients list. So we have to be very careful.
Ugh man I just brought the manuka and the JBCO, I thought they were different in like the JBCO was more of a clarifying while the Manuka was a moisturizing shampoo 😫😩
I'm sorry! Yes, really look at the first 5 ingredients of a hair product and compare to each other to see if there really is a difference. You will save a lot of money. Besides, a shampoo is meant to CLEAN your hair and not MOISTURIZE. Don't rely on a shampoo to offer the MOISTURE your hair needs. The conditioners are what provides the MOISTURE. Thanks for watching my video. 😊
And the mafura oil and manuka honey line. Fragrance was 9th on the list and now its 4th! To make it worse, they aren't even using an essential oil blend anymore, its just "parfum." Also, it used to be "African rock fig," not just "fig extract." Look it up. I'm so done with shea moisture! This and jbco were the last 2 lines i cared for and they changed the ingredients basically making it filler. I might as well buy creme of nature, hell its cheaper for the same quality at this point anyway.
Thank you so much! You are the first person who has claimed to like my voice. 🙂 Shampoo for black hair is pretty much the same. Just need to go for the "gentle" cleansing shampoos to minimize severe stripping of oil.
I feel like shea moisture products make my hair feel brittle i tired the hibiscus one. I also have low porosity and 4c hair. Imma give it another try. It was a long time ago. I tried the gel and that made my hair very sticky. The hibiscus gel.
It may not be the product itself that makes your hair brittle, but how you apply products to your hair. With a conditioner, you may want to consider using heat to lift your hair's cuticle layers, so conditioner can access the middle layer, the cortex, to really moisturize. What I've read about low porosity hair, it's really tough to "moisturize" b/c of closed cuticle layers. I admire low porosity hair, it's much stronger and can withstand manipulation better. I notice most of the popular natural hair vloggers on TH-cam with LONG hair state they have low porosity hair. I don't use gels, they are very drying product. Gels aren't meant to moisturize, but meant to use for styling purposes. Gels coat the hair strands to make stiffer and hold a style longer. If you look at the first two ingredients after water, they are not conditioning agents. They block the hair strands from getting moisturized, acting like an armor.
I'm not sure how you claim "they" changed the formulas. I have not heard about this. Besides it's a shampoo. The objective is to clean your hair and scalp.
I’ve been using bad products for 23 years and nun of them seemed to help with my thinning hair. Some of them make your hair feel like you washed it with soap.
Be aware shampoo is not intended to "help" with "thinning" hair. Shampoo has one function, to clean your hair. It's the products you use after you shampoo your hair that can temporarily help with making your hair appear "thicker". Your conditioners and leave-in conditioners coats your hair strands to help with "thickening" the hair. Remember don't read the front label on a product to see what it does instead read the ingredient's label on the back.
Fragrance is ok in a product. Believe it or not most of the main ingredients in hair products are derived from coconuts and shea butter. These ingredients are good for coating the hair strands, providing moisture, slip and shine.
These products aren’t affordable for no reason. They aren’t “cheaper” for no reason. I’m looking more into black owned and idc how much the cost is atp. Thank you for taking the time out to do this.🌻
You are welcome

It's a shampoo. Shea Moisture is fine. Most of these shampoos from different manufacturers use similar ingredients and follow the same formulas.

I learned so much 💕

Raw shea butter m, but it changed ❤
They've changed the Coconut& hibiscus ingredients list.
Really?? I did not know this. Maybe I will do an updated review🤨.
Thanks, ma'am@@ZalinaW

@@iateyursandwiches I'm looking at As I Am Long & Luxe Shampoo...It has three ingredients that I love in shampoos.
i love your voice its like they make shampoo to take out all of black ppl hair

@thing2140 You can try the Attitude living line. It’s clean and not toxic. Good reviews
Sad! Nun of these ingredients are pure. They have perfume in them to make them smell like shea and coconut 🤦🏽♀️
Fragrance is ok in a product. Believe it or not most of the main ingredients in hair products are derived from coconuts and shea butter. These ingredients are good for coating the hair strands, providing moisture, slip and shine.
Lol you was getting down in the shower mushing those harsh ingredients into your scalp. Ppl need to talk more about them and get them shut down.
