Y'all Told Me To Try This And Ummm... | Innersense & UFD

[@TressesOfAlexis]

I get that you got your preferences and i’ma let you finish but, these Day 1 results are FIRE!!!!!!

[@NJEberhart]

Thank you Alexis!!!! ❤️ But i'm addicted to that crush girl lol

[@The1NYCgirl]

UFD + Innersense Gel is one of my go tos for my wash-n-gos! I don't use a leave-in when using this combo and pretty much apply the UFD as my leave-in while in the shower on soaking wet hair and I put on a shower cap to let it soak/settle in while I finish my shower; I do the same for my leave-ins. I apply the Innersense Gel once I get out of the shower like any other gel. My hair takes well to the UFD so I don't use a lot; I have the big bottle so I apply 1 or 1.5 pump to each section (6 sections) and use my Felicia Leatherwood brush to distribute it. Every time I use this combo I get tons of compliments and people asking what I used. I literally just re-did my hair today using this ahead of a weeklong business trip which I need my hair to be on point. This is a combo is second to using the Adwoa Beauty Gel which is out of stock EVERYWHERE! I honestly hope they aren't discontinuing that gel cause that is a guaranteed perfect and long-lasting wash-n-go product for me.

[@kimc5321]

Thank you for the tips regarding using a shower cap ! 👊🏾So the Innersense & Adowa Gel is a better combo ?!?!?!

[@NJEberhart]

Hey love 😘 Sorry for my late reply! I just cannot get down with UFD so i am giving up on it lol. But please don't tell me this about the Adwoa gel. It was such a good gel!

[@The1NYCgirl]

I wouldn't use Innersense Gel and the Adwoa Gel as a combo, at least for me, that's too much hold for my hair. I use one or the other in combination with the UFD.

[@The1NYCgirl]

@@NJEberhart I reached out to Adwoa Beauty a few weeks ago and they assured me they ARE NOT discontinuing the Gel. It's a supply issue that is causing the issue with producing the large jars but they never stopped producing the small jars and had a sale/offer on the minis a few weeks back. If you travel, do check local Sephoras as in some markets they have started restocking.

[@jessiwave8]

Hi I just got the adwoa gel. Do you use it by itself with your hair saturated in water? Or do you use it as a topper gel over ufd?

[@MedMaintenance]

That tangly feeling happened to me too with this combo! I was told that it’s because i let the hair get cold. These products perform best when warm (like in a shower/bathroom with door closed)

[@NJEberhart]

Lol that’s soooo weird. I’ve never heard of a gel doing that. Thanks for letting me know 💕

[@deshaunclaytor8274]

This is facts. I apply UFD in the shower on soaking wet hair, smoothing and raking the product into my strands. Adding water during the process ensure adequate product to water ratio. The bathroom needs to stay warm or the product will lock up as it becomes cold. There is a learning curve but once you figure it out the hydration is unmatched. Your hair wasn’t wet enough! This combo requires you to sit under a dryer to ensure frizz free curls leaving behind a hard cast.

[@kjeneen79]

Sometimes the issue is an application issue not product issue. You need to make sure your hair is clean first with a shampoo (no co-washing). And you need to apply UFD in the shower on SOAKING WET hair. Not damp hair outside of the shower. And you would be more smoothing the gel in versus raking it in the shower. You can apply I create hold out of the shower as a topper again starting by smoothing in and then raking. And you MUST sit under a dryer. Air drying partially or drying causes that gooey feeling. You can't apply botanical gels like you apply eco or wetline. And many people have problems not because of the product but lack of understanding on how to apply the gels. And yes you should be emusifying both of these gels very well in your hands before applying to your hair. And yes they will foam. That is normal. And if you use oils on your hair your results may very with botanical gels. Also when you apply UFD out of the shower you are probably applying too much which is why the hair never dries. These 2 products when applied correctly absolutely has a cast and hold.

[@kjeneen79]

Yes UFD loves very warm water and warm environments. During the summer I even turn off my AC when I'm doing my hair so the gel won't freeze. Then I turn it back on when I'm under the dryer.

[@Neesha242]

@@kjeneen79 Thank you! I can’t wait to try this.

[@nyishaj123]

Ok. Troubleshooting UFD + ICH Time Required to Master this Combo: 3-6months with professional guidance. This set is best done in the shower because you are going to need access to a lot of water and the humidity helps keep the botanical gels from get too cold. (Cold air or water stiffens the aloe for some reason) If your hair is too sticky, it could be you used too much product and not enough water, or you didn't emulsify well enough, or you applied the gel directly to that section. *Apply UFD to entire head first then add ICH. ICH foams up in some hair textures. ICH has a tendency to tangle for whatever reason. You will need to pull your hair gently apart and/or possibly add more water. Raking the hair more than smoothing removes the products. Smoothing keeps the product on the hair. Praying hands methods causes more tangles on tighter curls. Drying will vary based on density, hydration and climate. 1.5 to 2hrs drying time is normal. If you live in a humid climate, your hair needs to be 100% dry. Also, botanical based gels do not have ingredients formulated in them to withstand breaking the cast. The banding method, scrunching, touching and stretching with heat breaks the cast. Basically, you destroyed your own set. Shrinkage equals healthy hair. Average longevity is 5-10 days depending on climate, lifestyle and the hair's hydration level. Hold level is medium to extra strong hold.

[@sylmarie]

That seems like too much work if someone already has products that are easier to apply for them, doesn’t require as much consideration on what you can and can’t do, and give them results they enjoy more.

[@nyishaj123]

@@sylmarie That's a fair point. However, mastery of your technique will always win over products because you can apply it to any product. You can have the best products and still not get the results you desire because of your technique. Products do not make the style. Your technique does and using the correct product for the style and finish you desire. It also helps to have some form of product knowledge and understanding on how products are formulated to work. ICH is a high quality concentrated botanical gel that requires a lot of water. It was formulated to perform this way because it is a professional product. Professional products are highly concentrated and usually require a lot of water. This is a benefit to the consumer because you save money over time and the product is conducive to healthy hair long term. Unfortunately, ICH has a rewarding learning curve once mastered. I don't think this product is a waste of time or money. At the end of the day, the consumer needs to decide if they value products more than techniques and then adjust their expectations based on that decision. The consumer cannot fault the product for their lack of technique, it isn't fair to the product.

[@superluigi29]

@@sylmarie you took the words right out of my mouth. Nyishaj123 "3 - 6 months to master" uhmmm noooo. And there are way too many rules. This is why I love gels like Camille Rose Curl Maker, etc. You slap it on and go! Moisturized, defined, shiny curls. And then people have the audacity to complain about natural hair rules?!! You literally wrote a small essay...... Unbelievable! Ohhh and I fault any product creator for making a product that requires such a steep learning curve. Again, unbelievable!

[@NJEberhart]

Thanks for the tips. Although im not in the shower my hair is soaking wet and if my hair dries out I have a spray bottle. For this wash n go, Innersense was not the issue, UFD was. Thanks for watching 💕

[@nyishaj123]

@@NJEberhart It isn't necessarily about drying out. It is about temperature, water and technique. UFD is a little more forgiving as long as it is not cold in the environment you are styling your hair in. ICH is a little more finicky and it require a lot of water because it helps with distribution of the product without over using it. The reason I can say this with a 100% certainty is because this is a basic set done by those who follow BGC. This combo has been done on thousands of different hair textures across the United States in different climates. The vast majority of them have been able to master this set, but it was with the help of SSC. You are not the only person that has come across those issues. I can understand you do not like UFD because it has glycerin in it and it is more reactive in high humid climates, but UFD isn't responsible for technique issues. You shouldn't let your dislike for a product override your ability to master a technique.

[@tcarmel3763]

This happened to me when I started using ufd I found the gummy never drying feel is indicative of using to much ufd and not using enough water when applying the product. It is best used in the shower. I've used this combo and get a week from it. Hope this helps.

[@NJEberhart]

Thanks love, but not matter how I try UFD curly magic, it just doesn't work for me. Thanks for watching 💕

[@shvonneboudreaux]

UFD needs lots and lots of water. I use this combo behind the chair in my salon and it works well just needs some encouragement. I also like the Eden body works hydration serum with ICH. Since that product is mostly glycerin and it doesn’t leave a white film

[@Realist79]

Have you tried to put Jello Shot on top of UFD? Jello Shot is good for taming frizz if enough is used on top of UFD. I live in Tennessee and the humidity is no joke here.

[@melanie5289]

[@JermaineAuNatural]

I had the same results with his combo. My hair was super big by end of the first day. I think it attracts to much moisture, especially in the summer then boom curly fro so long wash n go. I may visit it again in fall or winter. Excellent review!!

@@NJEberhart Heeey!!! Reviewed it again a couple weeks ago with the Alikay lemon leave in and complete difference!! It is a really good hard hold gel. It just has to have a light leave-in under it especially in the humidity.

[@Listen2me400]

Innersense is concentrated, you need to add water as you apply. You can tell the difference as you apply the water. It goes on so smoothly. My WNG lasts all week and I don’t refresh, just put in under a scarf or bonnet and shake and fluff out when I get up. It never flakes. Also I sometimes add Miche Beauty’s Lavish Leave In before adding UFD (don’t use a heavy hand though).

My favorite combo for WNG is to use kinky curly custard as a curl primer, then I create hold. After that I use Jell-O shot as a topper and my hair last all week long. During the summer I find myself having to use a anti humidity topper to keep my hair from frizzing up after 2 days.

So proud of you for trying or. Def want to use much less lol. Would recommend using in shower and sectioning and adding ufd and then adding the ICH in sections. All that ufd makes it impossible to dry. I think to get it the way most of us are hoping you will, you’d need to use the iamblackgirlcurls techniques. Those are the teachings that we are suggesting lol. It’s life changing

Give that combo another try without using a leave-in, on soaking wet, dripping hair(best in the shower), use lnnrsense I Create Hold as your topper. Dry under a hooded dryer. A spray water bottle won’t get your hair wet enough.

I like your day 1 results even prior to using the Dyson. Lots of volume! I use the UFD & Innersence combo & it works great for me, once I starting using a lot of water with it.

[@1GoldenBreeze]

First, the WnG is beautiful! Girl, no, I don't have the patience for any shingling!👎 I barely rake and smooth, but my coils play nice most of the time and do their own individual separation.🤣🤣 With UFD especially and ICH the wetter your hair is the better. I think you would get a much better result applying these two in the shower with access to running water. That may be why you had the tangled feeling while raking. Personally, I'm one of the few that can use UFD as a one-and-done and get a week or more out of my WnG without issue although my preference is to redo every 5days. I think it's about climate as I'm not in a humid area. Wow, your day 5 looks totally different from mine with these products. Not in a bad way, but just can you say volume!👀💜 I'm always amazed at the many differences in type 4 hair! I love it.💜

Watch this video out of no where to kill time and it made me relise my hair need to be toed up with eco styler because yea ufd has been a problem my hair has been feeling like mush with it. I combat it with a strong hold gel but waiting all day to have dry hair is ridiculous.

[@aliciabrown2650]

Def the lack of water is why your hair frizzed that way. Almost like your hair swelled from the glycerin looking for water. I use UFD+ICH together weekly and my results last a week but I style in the shower immediately after conditioning with SOAKING wet hair.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey Alicia 💕. Thanks for the tips but its def the glycerin and the humidity that made my hair swell up. I am just not a fan of UFD curly magic not matter how many times I try it. Thanks for watching!

[@AFOS94]

I share the same sentiments as u. I don’t like Uncle Funky’s Daughters either and I definitely prefer Camille Rose Curl Maker

Thank you Tondra 😘 Lol yes those last couple of days I could not be bothered stretching my hair out.

[@YummyCandiCollection]

I've tried so many wash n go combos but none last more than 2 days EXCEPT wetline

[@NJEberhart]

Yesssss. That has been my fav combo with UFD. It seems to get rid of the sticky and gumminess of the UFD and give a little crunch as well. I feel you. Thanks for watching beautiful 💕

[@amberhawkins2033]

There is a learning curve with UFD. Check out See Some Curls with Black Girl Curls!

[@NJEberhart]

Thanks love 💕 But I have tried UFD so many times and I just don't think it is the gel for me.

[@monicamitchell538]

Ohh and humidity on wash day is a day I stay in. Lol because the gel has to cure or the stickiness is not good. After day 3, it’s set for days

[@NJEberhart]

See I feel like there are just too many rules for this gel 😂😂😂 I just want to style, dry and be done.

The product that makes my hair feel tangled as I’m running my fingers through…. No mattter HOW MUCH WATER I USE… is UFD

[@NJEberhart]

😂 i feeeeellll you! I have tried this gel so many times with so many combos. But I think at this point I am done. Thanks for watching 😘

[@Neferfifi21]

UFD works really well with jello shot since it's such a hard gel. And agreed way too sticky on its own

[@NJEberhart]

Hey love 🤗. Thanks for the wash n go comb idea!

[@91WriterzStatus]

Normally, how long does it take for your hair?

[@NJEberhart]

To just wash my hair, it probably takes 15 mins. For my whole wash day it can take 6 or 7 hours depending on the style. I also like to leave my deep conditioner in for at least an hour.

[@MarleneMotivates]

I must use a leave in at all times or my fine hair will tangle like ooh girl nooo😂can you recommend a gel free cream with a soft hold? My hair doesn’t like hard holds.

[@JeeJee_xoxo]

Have you tried the texture ID styling Cream? I've seen a few videos of people using it as a one and done with good results. It's definitely a soft hold....to me at least

[@MarleneMotivates]

@@JeeJee_xoxo no I have never heard of it. Will look it up thanks

[@Realist79]

My hair use to tangle doing a wash n go before I started using UFD GEL with the Jello Shot Gel. I don’t have that problem no more.

Y'all got me wanting to try the suggestions lol. I am probably not the best to ask when it comes to creams that are good for a wash n go. I always need gel lol. I hope their suggestions work out for you Marlene 💕

UFD was great till they changed the formula and added protein as the 4th or 5th ingredients, I cannot use it anymore :(

[@vcurls5951]

Don’t care what anyone says. I don’t like this combo. It doesn’t looks as good as some of the cheaper gels 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@NJEberhart]

I totally understand. It is def not my favorite combo lol. Thanks for watching 💜

[@oohjazzydiva]

You may struggle with liking this combo because you are applying the gel incorrectly. UFD requires you to use the gel on soaking wet hair, you did not do that. The best way to apply the gel is in the shower.. dipping your head under the water a few times while applying the gel....afterwards apply I create hold. You will have a long-lasting wash and go without the frizz. My wash and go can last 5-8 days using this technique.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey love, I appreciate the tips. I just don’t like UFD no matter how many times I try it. Thanks for watching 💕

[@fortheloveofmegnnaye6233]

Thinking about purchasing the UFD.. when you apply it in the shower.. do you apply it section by section?

[@danyale06]

I feel the same way about UFD and that combo. It stays wet like air drying activator gel in humid weather even though I sit under a hooded dryer for forever. It is hard to run it through my hair also. The only thing that helped was adding trepadora papya slip to the combo. I haven’t used UFD in awhile because it takes too long to dry. I might revisit on a weekend where I have all day for it to set.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey love 💕 yes, I think that me and UFD curly magic are just not friends. I keep trying to use the gel but I think It just does not work for me. Thanks for watching!

[@TelishaYah]

You don't use enough water. As black women, we were misled to believe that too much water was damaging. But on the contrary, our hair is overly dehydrated and over-saturated by products. Our hair is like nature - it needs to be watered, at least, once per week or more. Check out the sistas that started the 30 day hair detox. You don't have to do that, but they explain everything.

[@NJEberhart]

Sorry but not using enough water is not my issue. The gel no matter how I try it does not work for me.

[@TelishaYah]

@@NJEberhart Have you tried "The Doux" product line? I'd love to see your review. Check out her youtube channel too. So many great products & formulas are out here. Believe it or not, I'm 51 and just starting to get to know my natural hair. I'm loving it.💜 Edit: Oh, and your hair is gorgeous. My 13 yr daughter has your curl pattern, waist length. Can't wait to do a wash n go on her.😄

[@t156t2]

Nope...not a "go" as far as your wash and gos goes. Pun intended. From the tangling feel during raking and day 3 hair. Maybe the lack of leave-in contributed to the tangling.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey love ☺️ yes the tangling was very weird. And I do think it may be the lack of a leave in as well. Thanks for watching 💕

[@chiquitafederico296]

I had to learn from a professional how to use UFD.. 😂 Like I literally learned my application process/technique from my cut it kinky stylist.. So there is most definitely a learning curve with the product imo.. And any deviation from that technique will result in a trash set, for me.. Now I've been at it so long, washing my hair a couple times a week for nearly a year, its become a fast easy process for me.. But again, I learned from a professional proper technique for my wash and go sets to turn out just how I wanted..

[@NJEberhart]
