it was Christmas Eve and I'm scrolling
0:02
Facebook and somebody had posted a
0:03
picture of all of these you know press
0:06
play products from the do and I was
0:09
excited cuz my husband was in Target so
0:11
I picked up my phone I'm like babe can
0:14
you check and see if they have these in
0:15
the Target and they did so one of my
0:17
Christmas gifts were these new um
0:19
thermal styling products from the do so
0:22
I just wanted to do a quick video um let
0:24
you know what I picked up what I passed
0:26
on and how I plan to use them and which
0:29
ones I've tried already
0:30
Step
0:31
One is the press rewind shampoo and I've
0:35
actually tried this one already it has
0:38
silicones and polymers in it and it also
0:41
says you should start on hair that is
0:43
free of waxy buildup um or anything like
0:47
that I feel like this is meant to be a
0:49
second shampoo um name I use my
0:53
trepadora shampoo first before I went in
0:55
with this and I must say um all of these
0:59
products in this collection ction have
1:00
this DPX label on it which is duplex or
1:03
something like that which sounds like a
1:05
play on Olex but I'm looking through it
1:10
and um there's nothing like the main
1:13
ingredient in Olex is not in this which
1:15
I kind of like cuz there was drama with
1:17
Olex last year and then some of their
1:20
products that contained that um
1:22
ingredient so I'm kind of glad that it's
1:25
not a ripoff of Olex or anything like
1:27
that what I saw in here was cool I'm not
1:29
sure if it's any here or in a
1:31
conditioner oh nope it's in here they
1:33
have a aloe vera stem
1:35
cells the instructions say gently
1:39
cleanses and restores curls with duplex
1:41
bonding technology so I'm not sure
1:44
exactly what ingredients make up the
1:46
bonding technology but I have used this
1:49
it does leave a coating on the hair um
1:52
even though it's shampoo when I use when
1:55
I've used this in the past I've used it
1:57
once so when I did use it I did go in
1:59
with with a allpurpose shampoo and then
2:03
I followed up with this as second
2:04
cleanse when I use this to do a blowout
2:07
I'll probably do that same thing so I'll
2:08
either start with a clarifying shampoo
2:10
or something else before this because
2:12
this does leave things behind on the
2:14
hair and I want to clean slate when I'm
2:16
going in with this uh press rewind curl
2:19
retention shampoo step two which I've
2:21
also used once is Fast Forward um this
2:24
is a heat prep conditioner and it does
2:28
feel different from the conditioners I
2:29
normally use um so it also does have
2:31
some silicone some polymers and some Alo
2:34
stem cell in it and a duplex uh bonding
2:38
technology the one thing I will say is
2:42
that people know when they make these
2:44
brands for textured hair that we use way
2:46
more conditioner than we do shampoo so
2:49
I'm always like I wish the the
2:52
conditioner was a little bigger than the
2:53
shampoo but it hardly ever is I hardly
2:55
ever see brands that cater to texture
2:58
hair account for the how we use more
3:02
conditioner than shampoo so I kind of
3:03
wish this was like 12 oz compared to you
3:06
know the 8 oz of here so these are both
3:08
8 oz bottles and I always kind of wish
3:10
that you know this was a little bigger
3:12
like 12 so even though I don't heat
3:14
style my hair often I've only used this
3:16
once so far so I'll use it a few more
3:18
times but I feel like it did make my
3:19
hair a little bit smoother and it could
3:22
be something that you know becomes a
3:25
staple when I want a smooth Rod set or a
3:27
smoother twist out it could be something
3:30
that you know I keep in my back
3:32
pocket so the third step which I don't
3:34
have is called silent treatment and the
3:37
reason I don't have silent treatment is
3:39
cuz silent treatment is meant to keep
3:41
your hair from reverting for like 30
3:44
days and that would give me
3:47
anxiety so I skipped silent treatment um
3:51
it says like it can keep help keep your
3:52
hair from reverting for from like four
3:54
to five shampoos or something like that
3:56
like I'm good on that um I have not
4:00
blown out my hair or flat ironed it in 4
4:05
years well not quite four years um the
4:08
last time I blow last time I've blown
4:10
out my hair was in 2020 and I don't even
4:13
think I like use the flat iron after
4:14
that so for me I want to see my texture
4:18
come back after I am done um blow drying
4:23
you know playing with heat so for me Sal
4:25
treatment I passed on that but from what
4:27
I saw on the website it's supposed to be
4:29
shampoo condition silent treatment and
4:32
then um which is like just a light mist
4:34
it looks like um that kind of helps give
4:37
you some longevity um so I skip Sal
4:40
treatment um the product that I did pick
4:43
up that you know if I was well drying my
4:45
hair it would probably be shampoo
4:47
conditioner and then uh this product
4:50
just glaze it's a silkening fluid so let
4:54
me see the
4:55
instructions non greasy formula this is
4:58
meant this is meant to be a blow drying
4:59
serum uh this just glazed well it says
5:02
fluid so I have not used this yet cuz I
5:06
not blown out my hair yet curious to see
5:08
what it does this is the smallest bottle
5:11
in the collection it's only um 2 oz and
5:14
I'm kind of okay with that cuz it's
5:15
probably the product I would use the
5:16
least since I don't really blow out my
5:18
hair that much and you only need a
5:19
little bit so a little bit supposed to
5:21
go a long way I'm excited to see what
5:23
this does when I finally get around to
5:25
blow dry in my hair next up is op I
5:29
haven't used this one yet so OPP is
5:32
another heat protectant from what I can
5:35
tell and from what it says on the D's
5:37
website this goes on after you blow dry
5:42
your hair and before you flat iron it um
5:45
so op stands for one pass press heat
5:49
protection spray um you can use it on
5:52
dry hair before using heat tools so it's
5:54
like if you blow out your hair and you
5:55
want to go in with a cin iron or a flat
5:58
iron or something like that that this
5:59
seems like this would be what you use
6:02
and since I have not gotten there yet I
6:04
haven't done it but that's exactly what
6:05
I would do so if I blow dry my hair and
6:08
I want to Flat iring afterwards I would
6:10
go in with this op next up would be do
6:13
drops I have actually used do drops um
6:16
so what I did was um I used the next
6:19
product coming up too um but I used this
6:22
I shampooed conditioned my hair and then
6:24
I went ahead and put this on as I was
6:26
getting ready to do a roller set I will
6:29
say I like this it's so light but you
6:31
can definitely tell when it's on your
6:33
hair um so you know only a few sprays
6:36
for the whole my whole head and then I
6:38
went ahead and braided it up until I
6:39
went around to putting my um rods in I
6:43
did a rod set can't I can't remember now
6:46
it was like a week ago I'll put the
6:48
footage here I can't remember if it was
6:49
a flexi rod set or a perm rod set but I
6:51
did a rod set um with one of those using
6:54
this and another product that's coming
6:57
up next the instructions say that that
6:59
you could use this on damp or dry hair
7:03
um so I used it on damp hair to kind of
7:05
stretch my hair a little bit before I
7:06
put the uh flexi rods in um this
7:09
collection has like a distinct Aroma and
7:13
I like it I used to be really into bath
7:15
and bodyw work products and it reminds
7:17
me a little bit of the bath and body
7:19
work bluish scents that they have um so
7:22
it's a little bit sweet but kind of
7:24
clean so I like it um I like spraying
7:26
this it it took me back to a happy place
7:30
you know kind of like that melany um all
7:32
those green blue things from beath and
7:35
Body Works so I did use this and I liked
7:37
it you can definitely tell something was
7:39
on your hair even though it's like the
7:41
the last product that I have is Gangster
7:44
wrap now I use this WP lotion to do a
7:47
flexi rod set um and I liked it uh the D
7:51
has several Foams um styling Foams
7:54
already so um it has the one from the B-
7:57
girl collection and it has like the
7:59
classic you know cult favorite and those
8:01
a little bit sticky more tacky firmer
8:04
hold this reminds me a little bit of um
8:08
Nairobi or even um if you ever got a
8:10
roller set like at Dominican salons
8:12
where they use I think they use lot a
8:14
lot of body so it's like it's definitely
8:16
has some hold to it but I feel like it's
8:19
meant for you to like be able to rake
8:20
through the curls and uh create the
8:22
style you want so it's that it says on
8:24
here that it's a soft hold and this also
8:27
has like the do bonding technology in it
8:30
it was nice and it also has that nice
8:32
bath and body work smish smell to me a
8:35
little bit sweet a little bit melony um
8:38
I forgot what other the blue scents at
8:42
Bath and Body Works anyway that's this
8:43
is what those remind me of so I did use
8:45
gangster wrap I did like it I will say
8:48
the way I tried to use it probably
8:49
wasn't the best way um what I was trying
8:51
to do is do do a flexi rod set like I
8:53
always do a flexi rod set which is like
8:54
rotted and then like separate each curl
8:57
into more curls but I feel like I needed
8:59
to rap through this I want to go
9:00
separate curls you know it wasn't it
9:03
wasn't the move um like my hair felt
9:06
amazing but it felt more like when it
9:09
came out of um a traditional Rod set at
9:12
like the Dominican Salon where it's like
9:14
holding it shape but you can still move
9:17
it around um so the next time I use that
9:20
I will I will keep that in mind um
9:22
because I did just try to like separate
9:24
curls like I would if I did a rod set
9:26
with mustaf or be girl which has more
9:29
hold to it I hope that makes sense if
9:32
you ever use Nairobi I think that's the
9:33
closest thing I've ever the closest
9:35
thing I could relate this to so it's
9:37
definitely got like some memory some
9:39
holdes but it's not stiff at all even
9:42
applying it it's not sticky at all so I
9:45
like ganger wrap I have a LoveHate
9:48
relationship with phones
9:50
because I like the results I use a lot
9:54
so I use like easily like a third of
9:56
this for one set so this one bottle
9:59
would only last me for three sets which
10:03
is not a ton I definitely am going to
10:05
use this again and I definitely would
10:08
repurchase this for when I wanted those
10:10
softer sets I do plan on doing a blowout
10:12
on my hair for like the first time since
10:14
2020 and I do plan on doing a press it's
10:16
not going to be a silk press cuz I'm not
10:19
I want to press my hair I don't want to
10:21
turn my grays yellow I don't mind Grays
10:24
right now this silvery and I like it
10:26
like that I don't want to play around
10:27
with heat too much and turn my hair
10:29
yellow but I do plan to do a full wash
10:33
