Do I Still Hate 👿 It? Uncle Funky's Curly Magic

In this video I finally answer all of the people asking why I don't feature Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic on my channel! I try out the gel in 3 different wash and gos!
️⃣ *UFD CM as Sole Styler
Apply to entire quadrant 💦
Pull out chunks and apply more product to roots
Rake each chunk to style
No hold, a sprinkle of definition, super soft, healthy sheen
️⃣ *UFD CM as Base Gel
Apply as sole styler (see above)
Top large sub-sections with hard hold gel
A lot of volume but better defined and closer to my regular Wash and go. Looked old quick. Cute, floppy pony-puff.
️⃣ *UFD CM as Primer
Apply to entire quadrant
Apply more to large sub-sections 💦
Style with hard hold gel in small sections
Note
ℹ️ I didn’t do this in the video but I’d be interested to try…
Apply to entire quadrant
Apply more to large sub-sections
Apply hard hold to large sub-sections
Pull out chunks to smooth and rake
Optional: top entire quadrant with final gel or foam

Hey Kayla, great video! UFD is a gel that I use as a base gel, underneath a stronger holding gel. It’s nice to see the different results that are trialed when the application varies! I use it the way you have it laid out in your “interested to try method.” Because of its ingredients it does work as a really nice leave in but it is the main primer because of the amount of water it holds. The stronger hold gel I use captures the curls/coils that were created by UFD. I don’t use as much of the stronger hold gel compared to amount I use with UFD and my sets last me 7-10, can go weeks if needed, but I like to reset weekly. I found initially that there was a bit of a learning curve to use the UFD, knowing how much product to water ratio, but once you get the look and feel you like, it’s great. Again great video, I really enjoyed it😊

Hi! Fellow Floridian here. You are braaave to use UFD alone. I love it, but I always use a topper to combat the humidity (even in the winter).

[@belindasanders1719]

Following the black girl curls method, I apply more UFD and lots of water. I use less of the firmer hold gel. My favorite combos are UFD topped with Obia custard or Jello Shot. UFD alone has always been hit or miss for me.

[@melindajl8829]

I appreciate you trying it a few times in different ways

[@PreppyFay12]

Wow 🤩 thanks so much Kayla for this QUALITY content. Seriously thank you so much for taking the time to try this product out in different ways over different days and give a through review and robust opinion. I know I’m one of those people who’ve STAYED asking you to retry this product and you DELIVERED. Whether or not you liked the product I was happy to watch and see you experiment which reminds me of the og KZbin though I don’t really want to be experimenting too much these days outside of the hair care practices I follow now with BCG but it’s nice to try different combos and styling techniques like you’ve done in this video to get the desired finishe result.

[@rosieamelia5955]

Enjoyed your video, I love how you tested it ! I love Uncle funky daughter curly magic, I love kinky curly custard as a base as well.

[@deshaunclaytor8274]

Hair was giving!!! Defined and hydrated.

[@hibiscustea6886]

Great video ! I enjoyed watching you try it in different ways. I will always have a soft spot for Uncle Funky’s since it’s the first thing I tried during my initial 30 day detox from BlackGirlCurls. I still really like the scent.

[@godsprecious6884]

I’m in Central Florida too!! I love ❤this gel😊😊

[@rachelm.3173]

UFD curly magic is the one product that retains water/moisture in my hair better than leave-in conditioners. It acts like a sponge for water...which allows me to get great definition. I love curly magic under NLS Irish Moss styling cream, NLS okra gel, and Bomb A** Fro curl jelly. Love your review!

[@dunateo3506]

Seems like the KZbinrs with thicker hair don't have the best results with UFD. UFD works for me as a one styler, but I have low density hair.

[@UsonePrecious]

I enjoyed this video! Your hair definitely came out cute but I completely see what you’re saying about it not working as a sole styler for you. UFD alone works great for me but we definitely have completely different hair.😅

[@jessicagreen1350]

Hey Kayla! Loved the way this vid was structured. It’s great seeing the product used with different techniques. I bought Camille’s rose curl maker during Black Friday and I’ll be trying it the same ways.

[@kinghill500]

Happy Friday ❤️❤️❤️

[@tonilawson7723]

Also, ecoslay Jello Shot is also good to use on top of UFD as well.

[@psr076]

I wasn't a fan of Ufd at first. There was a learning curve with the ratio of water. Like you I do apply all over my head but after I open up my to make sure there is enough . Then I put my topper all over and will section to smooth and rake. I thought al botanical were the same so recently I ran out so I bought curly magic. Surprisingly I prefer ufd or kinky curly. I think even eco slay gels will be in my top 5. I used the orange marmalade as a primer and on top the jello shot. It was amazing .

[@FoAdunni]

Not you trying something new before a party 😅 but everything worked out. I live vicariously through you using Frozen. I love the way it literally feels, (glides and foams). And you hit the nail on the head, UFD, it's more accessible than other botanical gels, that doesn't mean it's the best thing ever.

[@ossier2796]

I love UFD because I know how to use it. It’s a humectant that requires lots of water during the application. If you live in Florida you need a topper gel.

[@Ambrolysha]

I have tried and tried and TRIED UFD. It's just not for me. I get the snagging as well when I use it as a base gel/leave in. And using it alone... Absolutely doesn't work for me especially in this Southeast Texas humidity.

[@ChiannaNycole]

Most coily and kinky haired girlies I watch top this with a harder hold gel, on its own for my hair doesn’t have longevity. Love it topped with jell-o shot and the Giovanni L.A. gel.
