Happy CURLSMAS! In this video I’m doing a natural hair empties breakdown and giving y’all my honest tea on what I finished, what I’m repurchasing, and what I’m side-eyeing. I’m talking stylers, mousses, gels, a shampoo I still stand by (yes, even with the TikTok chatter), plus a viral-ish liquid multivitamin I tried because everybody and their mama is drinking vitamins right now. If you like real results on type 4 curls without the guessing, this one is for you. I get into my ride-or-dies like Ecoslay Jello Shot (strong hold, longevity, and I can use it by itself and still get 7–10 day hair), and Uncle Funky’s Daughter Bee Girl Curl Custard (definition, shine, hold… but it can dry me out, so I save it for summer or make sure I’m extra moisturized). I also talk about my favorite mousse ever—the Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Curl Defining Mousse—because it’s good on my natural hair, extensions, and even for refreshing. Then I share my thoughts on Pattern’s Treatment Mask (I use it as a pre-poo, not a mask, and it works… even though it smells earthy to me), and I wrap up with a liquid vitamin taste test moment where the flavor honestly mattered more than the claims.
