Function Of Beauty - Not Sponsored!

[@kellylincoln8244]

I appreciate the non sponsored context for this one in particular cause they are so heavily sponsored across the internet. I really wanted to know what a wavy gal thought of it! So thank you

[@SwavyBlonde]

I feel so bad for people who have messaged you regarding sponsored content. I actually think that it is so amazing when your videos get sponsored because brands support you and you deserve that support. Honestly, you don't have to explain us why this is not sponsored or sponsored. This is a little bit upsetting that someone would actually dislike brands supporting you.

[@shannonmaria22]

While I understand why so many people prefer unsponsored videos, I am more than happy to watch sponsored content. I know much how work goes into creating videos. It's hours and hours. Basically a second job. So if you are already going to be talking about a brand you enjoy, and that brand offers you a sponsorship, I see nothing wrong with that as long as the creator is giving their honest opinion (which it's clear you do! ❤) After all, running a channel is NOT free when you factor in the cost of equipment, software, etc. Sponorships simply help support channels so they can keep creating content! ❤ Sponsorships also let other people know what options they have for products.

[@anamariahrezdac]

Yes! I agree with everything you said! Also, Courtney always gives her honest opinion so it's not anything we need to worry about. ❤

[@morgansides294]

If my hair looked like that product free, I'd probably never bother with styling products 😂

[@CharmaineLim]

Okay but Silly Songs with Larry is one of the best things about Veggie Tales and I feel like "Where Is My Hairbrush" would have fit perfectly 😂😂😂

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Ohhhhhh you are good! What I missed opportunity! Are usually use my hairbrush too, and I didn’t in this video.

[@rachelfang891]

Really appreciate you doing this not sponsored and acknowledging the situation there. I know sponsorships can be an important revenue stream, so I hope you can find a balance that works!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Thank you. There are several brands that are so heavily sponsored all over You Tube and Instagram that I automatically refuse to even consider them. The market is so saturated with their products.

[@kimhefley1683]

Please try the drugstore version!!! I keep staring at it at Target lol. I want to take the plunge

[@kattyrrell5147]

I’ve tried it, it works well, and I love it, but I’m trying to do mostly silicone free right now and it does have silicones in it. My sister has it too and she likes it (she has straight hair, mine’s curly)

[@bullswitz]

I've been curious too! I was looking this weekend and noticed the "booster shots" you can purchase to add to the bottles - and I got overwhelmed and went with some Maui Moisture instead.

[@gayatri6102]

@@bullswitz how was maui??

[@laurahughes4550]

I adored your face when you were listening to the bird! You seemed so excited. We have a family of birds currently living in our front garden and we are so lucky to be able to wake up to them every morning. I love it! My husband less so though 🤣 he wants to sleep longer!

[@clairalaman7394]

Yes to a video on the Target DIY Function of Beauty as well! :)

[@GinaMarieCheeseman]

If I went product-free, my hair would be frizzy. And no way could I diffuse it as it would really be frizzy. You wavies are so blessed!

[@TheXxRinoxx]

I think they do say that their extra products you can buy is not silicone free on the website, they only make the shampoo and conditioner silicone free

[@andreasilver24601]

new subscriber and I've been binging a ton of videos. We seriously have the same type of hair. Oily, 2a, fine hair. I'm betting it'll absolutely love proteins too. For FoB you need to choose silicone free on each product separately. I know this was about a year ago, but I figured I'd put that out there. :) Love love love the videos so far. I'm learning so much about my hair.

[@faricaa]

Great video! I also ordered Function of beauty. Was super happy with it until I realised I got contact dermatitis from the conditioner. After investigation turns out I'm allergic to coconut oil... womp womp. Now I'm stuck with half a bottle of expensive custom conditioner 😅

[@Christine-49]

I have been using Function of Beauty for a couple of years now. I had heard some rumors about people thinking it was causing them to lose their hair. I then tried Strands based on your recommendation. Strands made my scalp so itchy and flaky. I don't know if I was allergic to something or what but I have never been allergic to a hair product, so I don't know. I am not back to Function of Beauty. The cherry blossom scent is the bomb!

[@brianadenisulk5175]

Next time you want to try new products, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Briogeo and maybe their Curl Charisma line! I've really been liking the gel

[@lauramacbride8181]

Thank you so much for not doing a sponsored video. I really appreciate honest recommendations (or not). I know you are an honest person who would not recommend something based on a sponsorship, but not everyone does know that. The "influencers" have ruined sponsorships for me, and I imagine to a lot of us who turn to people for honest reviews. You keep being awesome!

[@whitextigerx29]

Dear Courtney, First of all, THANK YOU for being such a wonderful person! Throughout my wavy hair journey you have always been sooo helpful and it has been so much fun watching your videos!! It really makes me sad to hear that some of your fans have been harsh to you because of sponsored product content. Let me just say: Courtney, the knowledge and experiences you share with us are worth a ton of money and YET you decided to give it to us for FREE! You deserve every sponsorship you feel comfortable with!! THANK You for everything! Love, Sarah

[@elizabethhale9342]

Courtney: "I'm not a big fruity scent person" Also Courtney: "I picked the mango scent" 😂 Jk I love you Courtney🥰

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yeah, the way they described the mango scent on the website didn’t make me think it would be overpoweringly fruity. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Caloci76]

How long do you usually use the same products to wash before using a different product? I’d be interested to see how you feel about it after a months or so.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Oooo! This is a question I get asked about often. This would be a great idea for a video. The honest answer is, it depends! Roughly I will use the products three or four times before I completely give up on them. Trying different techniques to see if I can get them to work for me.

[@colleencathrae6523]

You seep like the most honest, sweet person on the internet, I cannot believe anyone would think you are adjusting your opinion. I am glad companies reach out to you and it supports you as I love your videos. You do you 😉.

[@sophiablank325]

I'm also intrigued about the drugstore one! Thank you Courtney for an honest review x

[@lucysanders880]

Courtney where do you get drugstore shampoo and conditioner please my name is Lucy

[@heidi_1007]

I see so many adds for this, I can’t wait to see your honest review!

[@kattyrrell5147]

I use fob, and I asked them, but unfortunately only the shampoo and conditioner are available silicone free, at least for now. Also, the fob at target is not silicone free, but I did really like it when I tried it.

[@sirdouglas2010]

Wow, I didn't know you were supposed to put conditioner and leave on conditioner on your roots! Amazing.

[@michRobalino]

Courtney: "This is the part of the show when we sing a silly song" me: WITH LARRY 😂

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

YASSSS!! 😂😂😂

[@shannongal220]

LOL, me too!

[@nicholeopdyke1946]

Say-Boo!!!!

[@lavendertwilight08]

Personally I don't care if YOU are sponsored I trust your reviews. I also love Kayley Melissa on KZbin. I have never once been led astray by her sponsored content. That being said a majority of KZbinrs I don't trust because they only have sponsored videos so then it makes me think they take any and all offers sent their way. You and Kayley sporadically do them plus experiment with a lot of products in the background so I know when you do say you trust a brand it's coming from a true place. ❤️ I will say good call on unsponsored for this particular brand. It is extremely popular and every influencer has it so this makes me feel better

[@joanahenderson9747]

So glad you tried this! I liked them a lot, then I wanted to try Prose and FELL IN LOVE!

[@elizabethjones2]

I think it looked really good just with just the shampoo and conditioner and the leave in and styled!!

[@paulawalsh4979]

Hi, I love your videos (so many of your techniques have been a lifesaver for my hair.) Could you posdibly do a review of Living Proof, Briogeo or boucleme, as they are available in the UK? 😁

[@jacindafreeman1898]

I was a customer of Function of Beauty and liked the products but stopped when I found that they contained silicone. I didn't realise you could request silicone free so I might look at them again. I'm sure they do fragrance free? Thanks for your honest review

[@marjorieibarra3924]

You’re time is valuable and you don’t have to turn down income just because some people “don’t like it”. While I appreciate unsponsored content it is extremely selfish IMHO for people to expect you to basically donate your time and money to try products for them. I appreciate unsponsored here and there but also have no problem with sponsored reviews!

[@lisabertino5944]

Interesting! I ordered FoB a few months ago and wasn't thrilled with it- the conditioner was not enough for my hair. Definitely felt like my hair was knottier. Started my wavy hair journey right after and suddenly it's working very well! I got the Lavender scent.

[@TheGeographyWatch]

Did you go for the silicone free version?

[@lisabertino5944]

@@TheGeographyWatch nope. I don't do CGM.

[@bethw6534]

Product free ... How is that even a thing? I'd be a frizzy mess. Your hair is so pretty.

[@ferideaktas5707]

Can we talk about how beautiful her eyes are 😍😍😍

[@nicholeopdyke1946]

10 curly points to anyone who broke into The Lip song, Water Buffalo, or Say- Boo! After the 'this is the part of the show where we sing a silly song.'

[@amandahessenauer8496]

Appreciate your honest review!! I would love to see your opinion after trying it with stylers to see how it affects wave definition, etc. I lOVED my FOB for years, but then I switched to silicone free and started a modified CGM. I have been debating ordering a new silicone free set, just haven't done it yet. I will say, I absolutely love the "nude (p)each" scent ...it is fantastic! I ordered the strongest scent level because I love it so much 🤣.

[@samanthaspatz3520]

I would love to see the target version!

[@amyschultz7103]

Can you try the twisted line by ouidad. It’s at walmart

[@marjorieibarra3924]

I keep seeing it and being tempted by it too lol

[@courtneydoore4520]

Love your videos, always helpful, full of info and SO fun! Also we have VERY similar hair. When I saw your "profile" I was like...that's me, lol.

[@melissaferguson7630]

Yes do the drugstore version at Target also try Prose!

[@Artnadhd]

Thank you SO MUCH FOR THE UNSPONSORED REVIEW. I am honestly so sick of the saturation of sponsored product videos.

[@cienak]

I would be interested in you trying the drugstore one. Especially compared to this version. 😊

[@lunaycamila]

Please please please! 🙏 do a Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie wash day! I saw your video on the brand but I feel like the curl enhancing smoothie on it self is great and has some great reviews!

[@gueyshart5476]

I never really got around to trying the function of beauty. Seemed gimmicky to me when I first heard of them 5+ years ago. I guess it’s not it’s still around lol. I do like the colors you can choose and also the ingredients are ok

[@TranquilityChiba]

I was looking around their page before I looked to see if you did a review. It looks like now you can make a custom leave in too. You might have to fill out the hair quiz twice I'm not 100%.

[@christianamcpherson1962]

Your product free hair is so gorgeous!

[@CurliesCuriosites]

I've heard their customer service for when the Formulate isn't as requested. I'd love a comparison video with formulate. How the ingredients differ and how your hair reacts to the two

[@caseyportman]

I've been pretty happy with the Strands formula as well! I would love to know which you prefer: Strands or Function of Beauty?

[@1tbsofjan67]

i tried this but it stripped my hair so badly, and dried it out :(

[@elizabethann5308]

I used some when I stayed with a friend but we have similar scalp needs and both virgin low porosity hair. It left my hair dry feeling and stringy.

[@feistyunicorn5617]

I have been looking into his for over a year now and I can't wait to see your review on this product because I'm looking for a new product since Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus doesn't work as good as Aussies cowash does. However, I need something that will help my dermatitis as well as my curls.

[@katiemelton5444]

Do you still use FoB? I'm curious because I ordered the shampoo and conditioner about 9 months ago, when I was transitioning back to natural curly hair. I am type 3 and have fine hair. I asked for no silicones and they put it in the formula but I'm almost ok with that now. When I first started loosely following the cgm, I didn't know much about my true hair type because I had always straightened it. I gave away all my products that contained sulfates or silicones and I never found any products (s&s free) I really liked. Two days ago I tried my FoB shampoo and conditioner and I feel like I love it more than anything I've tried in the last 9 months. I'm thinking about repurchasing with different hair goals now that I know more about my hair type. I'm just looking for opinions on silicones and dimethicone in "Clean Products" such as FoB. Thank you! Congratulations on baby girl btw :)

[@Elizabeth_Lucy]

Wow!!!! It looks like you used stylers!

[@noepp]

I had the Function of Beauty Leave-In and it made my hair break, fall and greasy looking :/

[@melanieline5306]

Girl you work hard and you deserve to be paid for your work! This was a great video so thank you! But I say go for the sponsored video. If people are being picky, you can maybe say something about how you are sponsored to try the product but the opinions are 100% honest. Can’t make everyone happy all the time 😉

[@myalt6525]

Can you try the mender from botanika beauty? It’s their protein treatment and it is said to have a lot of protein.

[@JustBloo]

If anyone like me wants to give this brand a try, Rachel from Rachel&Jun has a video where she began her curly hair method journey, and offers a link for 20 % off for the first purchase. Makes it a little more affordable for anyone (including myself) wanting to give it a try

[@free2bkittenforever]

I love their drugstore version, Wavy Club

[@mandyratliff6285]

How does this brand compare to Strands or Formulate?

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

That is a great question! All three are so incredibly different. Even though they were custom formulated for the same head of hair. I’m still trying to figure out how to best present the differences between them.

[@MissDecisive]

Very beautiful hair and healthy!

[@irisl7817]

I don't mind sponsored content from the creators I choose to watch. I wouldn't mind you doing a video with Function of Beaty. I believe you should be paid for what you do. You deserve. That said I appreciate that this video concerning FoB was unsponseored.

[@chelseapickslay5359]
