I learned from stylists at Black Girl Curls to saturate the hair with water, then add lots of uncle funky's curl gel to hair based on density and then use a topper such as a mousse/foam. I use AG Cloud foam as the topper. It makes a huge difference in the outcome of the hair. Thanks for sharing your experience via youtube.
I love UFD Curly Magic! I used to think CRN Curl Maker was my favorite until I tried this. I have type 4 hair, so I apply products on soaking wet hair and I’ve never gotten flakes. I recently started layering this gel on top of Deva Curls Super Stretch Coconut Curl Elongator & omg! Crazy definition, shine and hold! Your results are fantastic!
Yesss Curly Magic has been my holy grail 2.5 years strong. I was too afraid to combine the 2 products last night, but im glad you mentioned it now I will try it. How do you usually apply? I lose the volume with the gel most times which I don't mind, but I end up choosing mousse when I want more voluminous hair than definition.
CurlyTuTimez I apply a leave in first. That might not be necessary, but I like to have a good moisture barrier under any gel. I then apply the coconut Curl Elongator. I don’t use a lot. And finally the UFD Curly magic. I tried the Curl Elongator as a one product wash and go and it was only okay. Pairing it with the gel was a revelation! If you try it, let me know how it goes for you.
This is hands down my favorite hair gel. 10 years of being natural I regret not trying this product much sooner. I love that it's aloe based and has no glycerin. I wash, condition and use this gel as my only styler. Nothing else is needed.. It's amazing!
You should try it in combo with Uncle funky's good hair cream. EXCELLENT COMBO! CRN does not give me as good as of a result. And i use less of this than when i use CRN. Also this is a product that can be used all year round.
CoilyCurls79 I find it to provide lasting moisture on its own right now but I may give it a try with a leave in/cream once it gets colder. I’ll have to compare it to my Curl Maker cause I’m not sure that I’d prefer the Curly Magic over it lol
Love it! I've used UFD curly magic recently paired with Camille Rose Almond Jai twisting butter. My hair was super shiny hydrated and moisturized. Girl I love your hair it's just beautiful! Keep the videos coming!
Aray Brown yes, girl! It seems like most of my fav products contain aloe so I’m convinced that my hair loves it 😂🙌🏾 & yes! Just washing my hair two days earlier has eased my detangling session quite a bit! Plus, I still get to enjoy my hair once it gets big 🙌🏾❤️❤️
I tried it yesterday, on freshly washed hair, and I love how it does not leave a crunch. My hair has movement . I was skeptical at first. I didn't like the sticky feeling, while it was drying, but it went away, once dried. Btw, I did use a cream leave in.
@@TakiraThompson thanks for the quick response.... I a new natural... It looks like we may have the same hair type not sure this was my first vid of yours... I have very very first fine thing hair and this product after many trials has been life for me.. I'll keep watching...
I have been really wanting to try this product, but afraid to do so. I think I'm going to have to go ahead and try it. Plus I know I can take it back to Target if I don't like it. Tfs
This is my absolute favorite gel. The best way to apply it is on soaking wet hair and I rub the product in my hand until it emulsifies and then apply it. It’s AMAZING!!! It gives me hold and movement. Theeee best gel ever.
Tanisha Fuller i used it today!!! My hair came out way fluffier and not as defined as i would have liked and i thought i used alot of product. Maybe next time ill shingle.
Tanisha Fuller I've started using UFD on my daughter's hair by itself. I love it. Do you use it all year long? If so, do you use it alone all year long (winter)?
I really like these results! Your hair held up! By the way, the fuzziness did not look bad at all as you wore it through the days, it was however controlled! I like the sheen this product gives your hair!
I tried it once, but ended up returning it because my hair dried sticky; I did use a leave in though. I couldn't stand the smell either. It smelled like Pine Sol to me😷. Your hair looks so good maybe I'll try again with no leave-in.😍
TheHixMixTV that’sssss the smell! Girl, I could not put my finger on it lol! But I didn’t have any problem with stickiness. Did you use it on soaking wet hair? I feel like this product needs the water because it’s not in the ingredient list. If you try it again, let me know how it goes. Thank you, love 🤗😘
@@TakiraThompson Thanks so much. And it looks healthy. I stop relaxing my hair in 2014 but I feel like mine has hit a plateau and just stopped growing after like 2016.
Me too! My curls lasted but they were not my best curls. I was thinking of trying another leave in or no leave in. I used the Camille Rose Honey. I heard it was a great combo.
Tachy I don’t think I have a top two lol I have favorites, it just depends on what look I’m going for. I plan to do a video showing my favorite gels/stylers
I was trying so hard to find your page!! I was spelling your name wrong and thought I was subscribed, but I wasn't. Anyway, on my wash and go journey and your videos have been super helpful!
prettywitty77 thank you, love! 🤗😘 & don’t be scareddd, girl! Go ahead and try your first one product wash & go! I wanna see 👀👀 lol I’m sure it’ll turn out bomb 🙌🏾
Great video. I am planning purchase the product but some channels recommended a mouse. I looked up the price of mouse. It was too expensive for my budget. Do I need anything go with this. I always used a leave in
Just a suggestion: I’m glycerin sensitive and it does that same frizzy thing to my hair and it gets worse. So maybe it’s an ingredient that caused it? I know the CRN has similar ingredients. Just something to think about 😁
Jeannee Britton I know Uncle Funky’s Curly Magic is glycerin free so I’m not sure. It was only like that when it was wet & didn’t get worse when it dried so it didn’t bother me. The only things glycerin typically does to my hair is it can make it feel overly moisturized if it’s in the top ingredients of a product, and it causes major shrinkage when faced with humidity lol
If your hair is collarbone length or longer, you can probably put it in a pineapple with scrunchies or a scarf (look it up on YT) . If it's shorter you can try putting big loose twists in it (like 6 to 10). If it's above the top of your ear, get a curl refresher spray or just some water and rewet it.
Patricia Strothers a little bit of frizz is inevitable for me due to the nature of my hair lol but I like a mix of definition & good frizz 🙌🏾 thanks, hun! 💗
I recently used this product with the styling lotion from this same brand and my hair got clumpy and like cottage cheese. I have no idea why that happened. Has anyone experienced this using this gel?
M.D Curlz The product you used most likely didnt mesh well with the gel. Even though it's from the same line, I learned, it doesnt really mean they mesh well together. I had the issue using camille rose lotion with the gel but the gel paired with mane choice leave in is pretty good. Next time rub the two products in your hands before applying it to your hair so that you will know if the products work well together.
Ladee T Thank you so much for the tip! I noticed when the product was already in my hair. I will definetely try that next time. What product do you usually pair this gel with?
J Wms I recently started using a box fan to speed up my air drying process lol so this wash & go was about 95% dry in 1.5-2 hours 🙌🏾 regularly, it can take up to a whole day cause my roots take forever to dry
@@Chin715 lol have u ever seen a pack of raw ramen noodles or top ramen? The curls are stiff hard and crunchy so the hair wouldnt have any movement or bounce
@@Chin715 you're welcome at the end of the day its a personal preference.its gel its supposed to have a cast it helps reduce frizz and can lock in moisture (depending on product) but some people prefer the fluffy look and soft curls
did y'all buy from UFD last sale? I did but I never received my pkg...FedEx delivered to wrong address & said UFD has to open claim but they've ignored me, won't return emails or calls...they said they show is delivered so apparently that's all they're doing but won't refund my 💵 😡😡 #buyerbeware #poorcustomerservice

@@wannabe41 I definitely will! I have 3c low porosity hair so im hoping even though our textures may differ it will still perform the same.
I've been doing this exact same combo for the last two weeks and LOVE it!!! My fav wash and go EVER!!!
It doesn’t leave an after smell and the more water the better your results and my hair was moisturized for at least 3 days or longer. I love it.
This is hands down my favorite hair gel. 10 years of being natural I regret not trying this product much sooner. I love that it's aloe based and has no glycerin. I wash, condition and use this gel as my only styler. Nothing else is needed.. It's amazing!

CurlyTuTimez yes! I’m all about skipping steps if I can to make my wash day simpler lol thank you, hun 💗💗
Aloe based? I have to try this. My hair loves aloe.
