Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic Curl Stimulator Review and Wash N Go | Natural Hair

[@dominiquerandall6520]

Today I went to get a hair shaping cut and the stylist used this gel. This was my first experience with it and I'm in love. The key is to apply it on soaking wet hair without a leave in conditioner underneath. And instead of air drying my hair, she had me sit under a hair dryer for 30 minutes to help set my curls. I pray I get the same results when I do my hair myself. 🍇💜

[@iamsusiecarmichael6650]

Dominique Randall a long time ago, but how did self styling go?

[@rissarose781]

Good luck 👍

[@BeaunaturelleFeb11]

Hi Dominique. I really liked your comment and hope you got the same results as the salon. 😄 I just wanted to ask you when you went under the dryer what setting was used please, cool or warm? I keep hearing conflicting things, namely you need cool air to seal the cuticle, or warm/hot to set the curl, but in my opinion that would open the cuticle and let out all the moisture you’ve worked so hard to put in. I’m intrigued to read your response, as your stylist obviously knew what they were doing if you got great results. Thank you.

[@brendawarner4854]

Dominique Randall Thanks

[@dixical3994]

I like when you show how it looks later on in that week, most products look good the first day the truth is in the days after, to see if they flake or not, if it if felt dry or not, etc.

[@brendawarner4854]

l have low porosity hair, this gel is amazing.

[@LydiaTefera]

Yay!! :)

[@rambothomas2209]

Keep putting more content of products in different hairstyles ,stay focused and bless 🙏🏿👍🏽✔️

[@lisaessien2408]

Love the curl magic better than Camille rose curl maker...my hair is more kinky curly and the curl maker makers my hair a bit undefined..but are two great gels

[@Listen2me400]

Lisa Essien I’ve tried Camille Rose, it defines my hair but it was different. More fluffy and curl pattern seemed smaller. It worked, but was different. Not my go to.

[@427skies]

The smell is so strong with curl maker. I can't.

[@michelejones3154]

Your hair turned out beautiful! SHINY WITH THE CURLS POPPIN!

[@LydiaTefera]

Thank you!!! 😘

[@ossier2796]

I love Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic. I tried it first and I’ve just tried the Camille Rose Curl Maker l. I use UFD alone, no leave in and no added oils.

[@cherylbuckingham7365]

I've tried a bunch of gels but this is my #1 for sure!!

[@LydiaTefera]

It’s so good!

[@max152211]

It works wonderful on short (TWF) hair too. I love this stuff and it don't dry greasy

[@Felicia_Plans]

Great review! I bought it but haven’t tried yet. I like how you didn’t even need a leave in conditioner.

[@LydiaTefera]

Yeah I really like it! It’s definitely one of my faves now! And thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️

[@Alyssaluv22]

Have you tried the product yet? If so, how did it work for you?

[@ninamoo678]

Thank you so much for this review. I love love love your videos since they are not sponsored and I trust your words. I will definitely give this product a try. keep up the great work.

[@LydiaTefera]

Thank you that means so much to me! I hope you enjoy the product ❤️

[@aprilcomithieranderson8718]

Got the travel kit (less expensive) to try. I LOVE the Curly Magic way better than CRN's Curl Maker. No contest. And the Supercurl is awesome. I too have a back section that more tiny ringlets, very thick (don't know how or why, this section has always been different).

[@LydiaTefera]

Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@sadiqaharris7531]

You mentioned another curly product,. I think it was Camille something. What is the name of it?

[@brendawarner4854]

l love curly maker, I just brought this gel from Target. l cannot wait to try it.

[@LydiaTefera]

Awesome! Let me know what you think!

[@ibake84]

My GOAT! Everybody keep buying so they don't discontinue or go out of business!

[@wall48291]

I LOVE this product and the line of products

[@LydiaTefera]

It’s great!!!

[@prissycurls670]

Girl I wasn't surprised that you thought it was bomb. When I first tried it that was my exact impression as well. Mind you I had been using CRN Curl Maker for years. Only thing I can't use UFD CS or CRN CM during the summer when the humidity is high, too much moisture for VA. But I'm loving both this winter. I'm glad you loved it!!!😉😚

[@LydiaTefera]

Yasss this stuff is definitely a new favorite of mine! I’m so happy I tried it out!! 🙌🏾

[@MyeshaB]

Lydia Tefera I love it too I used it last summer with grape seed oil underneath

[@prissycurls670]

Lydia Tefera been using it this summer with a little curl bounce hair spray( per your recommendation) and it's performing quite well but granted it's not that humid this summer.

[@kenya574]

I agree. This in conjunction with Tgin leave in and eco on top! Bomb.com

[@CurlyTuTimez]

This is DEFINITELY my staple as far as gels go!! I have never tried it alone though, now you have me curious 🤔. I'm late but grapes!

[@helenmorton3742]

I have this product and uses it in my hair and I love Uncle Funky magic curl stimulator! A great product for my natural hair with all natural ingredients in it!

[@LydiaTefera]

Yeah it works really well!!

[@brendawarner4854]

My sister, I am so in love with this hair gel, and my curls came out pretty. Thank you so much. You help me a lot.

[@LydiaTefera]

I’m so happy you loved it!!! Thank you for watching!

[@Deeluvzed]

I tried Uncle Funky’s Curly Magic three days ago, and it was okay. I have 3b curls, and I started with some frizz the following morning. Whenever I use the Camille Rose 🌹 Almond Jai Twisting Butter, along with her Curl Maker gel, my curls come out on point. I get a good 4 days out of it WITHOUT refreshing my curls. Not bad, right?

[@LydiaTefera]

Yeah my Curl Maker also lasts a day or two longer than the Uncle Funkys Curl magic but it still does a great job at defining my curls!

[@knitone2312]

I'm also a ❤️❤️of the Camille Rose curl maker ... but I use uncle funky daughter gel when I can't find the Camille rose. My hair likes both gels and I can normally get a good 5 day wash and go from them. I'm a ride or die for the OGX orchid spray ... have bottles on stand by.... and even one at work.

[@LydiaTefera]

That’s great!!!!

[@gracefreeman3261]

When u describe the many textures of your hair I swear u are describing my hair! I'm going to Target TODAY and get some UNCLE FUNKY'S DAUGHTER CURLY HAIR STIMULATOR...wow what a mouthful!!! Lol Because it has your hair on FLEEK! Thanks for sharing👍

[@LydiaTefera]

I’m glad I’m not alone! Thank you so much for watching and keep me updated and let me know how the product works for you! I’d love to know! 💕💕💕

[@uptownshorty143]

Didn't you feel the product on ur hands? I used it for the first time, I have a different type of hair nothing curls the top section. But I used it and even it drys I still get that jell in my hands. Is it just me?

[@mommymilkers6978]

Girl feel free to send me natural hair products you don’t like lol. Love, from Ethiopia

Love Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic. I’ll have to try Camille Rose Curl Maker.

[@LydiaTefera]

[@rhondadenis3469]

Would you please review the Curls Blueberry bliss control jelly and repairative leave- in

[@LydiaTefera]

I’ve tried the jelly and it’s good! I just wish you got more for the price!

[@anbr1495]

[@jackiej9788]

[@kristinamarie111]

Grapes 🍇🍇🍇🍇 I really need to try this product, I’ve been eyeing it for awhile now!

[@thearb2003]

Silicones in your spray most likely cancels the crunch in the product you used for your review

[@kennyasmith3161]

I am super late on purchasing this product, I really hope my hair works with it 😭 I went on a hunt to find videos to see how to apply it and your video was very helpful 😊😊❤️

[@urbanfrugalchick1158]

Looks sooo good ! UFD is my #1 and Camille Rose is my #2 favorite .

[@LydiaTefera]

Thank you! And Yeah those two products are definitely my top two now!

[@deborahmccray9841]

UrbanFrugal Chick Me too. #3 is Kinky Curly Curling Custard

[@ShantaCS]

🍇🍇🍇Grapes...I love this gel it's so bomb!I always rotate this and curl maker🙌🏼

[@samanthaivy6813]

Grapes 🍇 a deciding factor for me is how it smells? How does it smell?

[@LydiaTefera]

It has a light citrus scent to it! I really like it

[@MikeyandKae]

Thank you beautiful

[@arlenconsuegramachado4449]

I normally use a leave it cream and gel, do you recommend not to mix it? Or will be without problem

[@8111Chrissy]

I just bought this and glad I found your video. My hair isn’t as curly as yours (wish it was), but I have same issues with back section being thickest and frizzy ,so I can’t wait to see how it comes out.

[@Chrissy-xr2lw]

Did you need to put a leave in before using this? Did anyone use a leave in prior to the gel?

[@beverlymarshall480]

How do you determine whether to use a leave in or not?

[@kenya574]

Heyyy did you use a leave in? The next time I try this I’m using it only 😊😊😊 I may need to use more of this next time too!!!

[@LydiaTefera]

I used it by itself! :)

[@jenniferwilliams1999]

Thank you so much for your beautiful video! Your presentation was excellent and amazing. Your hair is beautiful and you are too! Peace God bless you. Greetings from Toronto. Love your video very nice and straight to the point!🙏😇💖🇨🇦🙏

[@Freedomfighter914]

New subbie. Glad I found your channel because U are low-key hilarious. I’m tryin to go to target to get me some of that gel. Can you review mielle products pls.? I know they got it at Sally’s. Thx

[@LydiaTefera]

Awh thank you soooooo much! And I’ve tried some of their products on my channel! And I’ve tried the honey ginger gel a long time ago off camera and it’s no bad, not my favorite gel of all time but it works!

[@Freedomfighter914]

Lydia Tefera you are so sweet for responding& Thank you for saving me some $$ girl.

[@BrianaEvelyn]

Had to come back a year later and say thank you for this - MY HOLY GRAIL

[@LydiaTefera]

So happy you’re loving it! It’s one of my holy grails too 🤗♥️

[@dianewalcott706]

Hi Can u do a review on cantu deep treatment masque conditioner please and thank you

[@Listen2me400]

How did it last? I haven’t tried this one, yet a stylist put it in my hair but mixed it with I want to say a Carol’s daughter product and it left a white residue so I never wanted to try. Maybe I’ll get it and follow the instructions.

[@ShaisTime]

What's the two products you used after ??

[@LydiaTefera]

OGX orchid oil spray and Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Curl Control & Shine mist

[@ShaisTime]

Lydia Tefera Thank you so much !! :)

[@msshree37]

Mines is being delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to try

[@Mixedbeauty11]

Can you leave this in? I saw this at targert yesterday. When I was trying find good leave in for my curls.

[@STP255]

Is there a need for a leave in with this product?

[@LydiaTefera]

They have leave ins on their website! :)

[@dcurly3192]

Thanks for this review. I’ve been curious about this product. It was hard to see your hair against that chocolate brown sofa. But you sounded really pleased. I may give it a try! Thanks.

[@LydiaTefera]

Thank you for watching! It's definitely worth a try!!

[@littlered6340]

I used to use this all the time and can't find it anymore, sigh. It works almost as well as flax seed grapes (haha) for me. I'm wondering if I should try the Camille Rose since it's easier to find.

[@LydiaTefera]

Camille Rose is a little pricey but I LOVE ITTTTT

[@littlered6340]

When I stared looking for gels, I saw Uncle Funky, Mielle, and Camille Rose had similar ingredients, so I randomly bought the first two. Mielle has the *strongest smell of any gel I have ever used in my entire life* and literally caused me to have headaches(!!!) So I stuck with Uncle Funky. But I bet CR doesn't have that problem and I should just grab it at least to try. I'll do it this weekend, if I see it when I go grocery shopping!

[@LydiaTefera]

Let me know if you try it!! 🤗

[@littlered6340]

Will do!

[@littlered6340]

My hair isn't dry yet (I did it at like noon yesterday, so I think it'll be dry in a few more hours,) but I tried not leaving in conditioner for the first time, and I used the Camille Rose gel. Girl this is the second best my wash and go has ever looked. I'm pretty sure I can make it look like the best when it dries and I can stretch it, too. I'm kind of amazed. I never thought that my hair could be soft if there wasn't conditioner left it it. I never thought it could be this defined without conditioner either. If I don't end up with white flakes all over my body, I'm never going back. Heck, even if I do, this is still amazing. I'm going to save so much conditioner. Thank you.

[@mistyfiedwhisper5321]

This product is on my wish list i was wondering what people thought about it before i purchased it (its not cheap for me ) but this helped Thank you!!...

[@LydiaTefera]

I’m glad this video helped!!

[@anag3914]

I'm in my 50's and have yet to figure out my hair :( It's exhausting. How do you make it last? I have to wet my hair every morning because it's so tangled so I use a lot of this product everyday day by redoing. It's not financially efficient.

[@LydiaTefera]

Do you work in small sections at a time, I know that helps me!

[@angelnumber0723]

We curly haired women definitely have to work in sections and put your hair up or wrap it at night. If it's long enough, most curls can just be put in a super high pony tail...but if you really want to secure your wash and go I would get a silk bonnet. You may have to spritz it in the morning (I recommend one of those misting bottles on Amazon). It's also important to remember curls are like snow flakes. Everyone's curls are a different experience. We have to go through a lot of trial and error to find a fit. One woman's wash and go might last a week where someone else might only be good for a day. Best of luck on your curl journey!!

[@rosehead5137]

I'm just now completely natural, I don't have a defined curl pattern so should I use the uncle funky daughter to start out with

[@LydiaTefera]

their products are great!

[@lm-lm6rd]

How long does it actually take you to do your hair

[@LydiaTefera]

About 25-30 min! And then I have to wait for it to air dry

[@deedeelennon7321]

Try w/out any other added Products and notice the lasting Shine & Moisture 😎

[@deeliteinhair4053]

Love the video! Can you review curl junkie pattern pusha hair gel?

[@LydiaTefera]

Oh I don’t think I’ve heard of that product! Is it online or in stores?

[@deeliteinhair4053]

Lydia Tefera it is on line.

[@pinsii]

Did your curls were hard or soft when it dry ?

Where did you get your ring light?

[@LydiaTefera]

That’s just the color of the bottle! Thanks for watching!

[@tgardner3563]

I know you love your side part but I think a middle part looks fab on you too, Lyd. Wonderful results! Imma really have to see what Uncle Funky products are talkin bout! TFS xoxo

[@LydiaTefera]

Awh thanks girl 💙💙💙 And yeah I definitely think it’s worth trying! I had never tried their products before this and I’m really happy I picked this product up!

[@Mztastyish]

So, it’s a gel??

[@tiffanys687]

Marshmallow root in it makes my hair sticky. Does anyone else have that problem?

[@LydiaTefera]

Yeah it can make it feel a little sticky if you go in with too much or if your hair isn’t soaking wet when applying it to your hair

[@dominique4432]

It tangles my hair😂 I avoid that ingredient and green tea extract like the plague. My hair does not like those 🙅🏾

[@slsmith57482010]

How was day 2 hair?

[@LydiaTefera]

Great! If you watch the next video I posted afterwards (it’s my best leave ins video) my curls were on day 3 and they looked great!

[@minimalassembly7893]

What did you cleanse and deep condition with?

[@LydiaTefera]

I cleansed with the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo and then I deep conditioned with my a TGIN Honey Miracle Hair Mask 😊

[@minimalassembly7893]

Thanks!

[@LydiaTefera]

No problem!!

[@ThEEnlightenFemme]

I have to give the product a try now...TFS

[@paigequeenb8257]

It works great for my 4b hair also. I tend to mess it up because it takes my hair so long to dry... like now when um ready to go to sleep and my roots are damp but I'm probably going to lay down lol. My fault not curly magics fault

[@LydiaTefera]

Haha true!

[@mariaeverett3271]

What do you put on your hair to sleep?

[@LydiaTefera]

I have a night time routine video that I posted in December that may be helpful!

[@ossier2796]

Why not just let the product dry on its own instead of adding the oils? How can you tell if the product is really working if you add to it?

[@curlygirl5828]

I've heard about this product ....n ur Results are Awesome..I really wanna jump on this!! . 👍🔥💁🌟

Mine is actually the areas right over my ears, but my multi texture is extreme with all the 3 and all the 4, lol. Embrace Natural Beauty calls it her low porosity section. I call mine my 4c section.

[@briannanight8395]

I've heard it is because that is the part that gets the most friction. Sleeping and when you are in the car it rest on the head rest.

Yeah that definitely plays a role!
