Roundtable part 2: ESSENCE's beauty editors pick their favorite products for dealing with humidity, edges, and more.
Transcript
00:00There are so many great beauty products that came out this summer. Let's talk about some
00:12of our favorites. Let's talk about hair for a minute. That's some great stuff with hair.
00:15Oh, this is a way we can talk about summer without talking about hair. Particularly our
00:18hair. Alright. This is a tried and true, but you all know that day I came in with a hat.
00:22Because my blow dryer decided not to work that morning and I had to. Oh, was that the
00:27curly? Impromptu, I had to do curly. I blow it straight, but I had to do a curly. And
00:32this is, I had Kinky Curly, the Spiral Spritz. It set the curl. You even talked about one
00:36little jerry curl that looked really nice. So this really set it. So this is my new
00:42fave. You never have to do it and you don't go natural any other time. Usually you do during
00:46the summer. So, but now I try it in the fall too. But this one really worked. It held it
00:51and it wasn't crunchy and it didn't flake. So I've heard a lot of good things, but now
00:55I can say I actually tried it. And it was. This is the first summer that I've been completely
01:01natural. And you know I've been stressed out about my edges. Always stressed out about
01:06my edges. I don't want to do it. And I tried the Soft Sheen Carson, the anti-reversion cream,
01:12just on the edges, just when I blow dry my hair. Particularly if I take the kids to the water
01:16park or go swimming or something. And it really laid it down for me without me being stressed out.
01:22So great for someone who just needs a little something, who's not relaxing, but still probably
01:28transitioning and getting used to the idea that they may not lay the way we are used to.
01:35I've just put a, I slapped a little bit on my edges before I blow dried and before I flat
01:40ironed and it really, really, really kept it down. And if you're relaxed, that's going
01:44to work. Yes, if you're relaxed, it's going to be amazing for you. Because then you don't
01:47have to always, you don't have to always relax. You don't have to always put the chemical in.
01:53You stretch it out. So that's wet and dry? You put it on your hair wet or dry?
01:57You put it on your hair wet. Wet. Wet.
01:59Yeah. Right before you blow dry. And it seals it in when you do the flat iron. So a lot of
02:06people should probably pick that up. Another thing is, you know in the summer we're always
02:11working 15 different styles depending on the humidity has been high. So I've been putting
02:15a lot of gels and a lot of pomades on my edges. Always my edges for the ponytail. But when
02:21I want to wear my hair down and I'm not washing yet, I've been using the Suave Waterless Shampoo
02:26just to release some of the product that, the residue that is sitting on my hair. And that
02:32has really helped as well. So if I'm not washing, if it's not my, you know every other week or
02:37if it's not my 10 days to wash, I've been using that to release the residue and that's
02:41really, really helped. And it's good for people with frades or weeds as well. You really get
02:46in. I've been, since I've been wearing my hair natural this summer, I've discovered how
02:51much I love the WEN products. Love, love, love. The conditioner, the cleansing conditioner.
02:56Yep. Really, really. So I'm wearing my hair natural and washing my own hair. And that's
03:01a big person body who goes to the salon all the time. And what I really like is that,
03:07you know, so I'm working out more. I sweat and I don't have to worry about it reverting
03:11because it's already natural. And the, hold on. And he has a lot of different.
03:18Different fragrances. Yeah. This is the pomegranate. Smells really good. And it comes with the convenient
03:26pump. You just pump it. Oh nice. Pump. Pump. And you use something like, and you use like
03:3220 pumps. And I was like, 20 pumps? Like, how is that possible? But you really do need
03:37that many pumps to really get it in and get it clean. But it feels really great. Nice.
03:43It smells good. Yeah, it really, really. Cool wash. Yeah, good.
03:48You know, I see it's infomerce or something. Yeah. And you wonder if it works for us. It works.
03:54But it works. It really does work for us. It really does. And he does have, you know,
03:59he does have extra conditioning versions and, you know, a tea tree one. Yeah. And it's like,
04:04you know, a peppermint one. Go Chas B. Yeah. Who knew?
