Have you used this Curly Magic Curl Stimulator? How do you like it and what product do you combine it with?

[@Realist79]

I used it with Product Junkie Natural Max Hydration Leave In Conditioner. Loved it!

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

I know nothing of that brand you just mentioned. Gotta look them up. Thanks for telling me. When you use that combination, do you have hold as well?

[@Realist79]

@@Leaveit2Nessa yes and I do have to refresh though. I have to refresh a little bit with She Scent It Moisture Mist. www.shescentit.com/moisture-mist-leave-in-conditioner/ www.productjunkienaturals.com/products/max-hydration-leave-in-conditioner

[@Blue-mi3ws]

You don’t have to use a leave in with uncle funky’s.. Your hair has to be soaked with water then I apply uncle funky’s and I create hold from innersense for more hold

[@Realist79]

@@Blue-mi3ws everybody’s hair can’t stand to use Gel only. My hair will dry out if I don’t use some kind of leave in before applying Gel.

[@anika.c1063]

Hey so this is a gel that I have researched like crazy before I purchased it. One of the biggest tips is to apply this gel in the shower on soaking wet hair and this is usually the rule of thumb with many botanical gels. Another thing was that if you feel that you need more gel you should add more water. At first I thought these tips was just what everyone was saying until I actually tried it on soaking wet hair in the shower. I've tried it for twist outs as well. One time I got great definition, another time my hair was so soft and another time I had zero definition lol. Its definitely a learning curve with this gel for sure. Still gotta play around more with it but I doubt I'd repurchase cause I don't like when I have to work hard to make a product work and I don't like varied results. Also I prefer twist and twist outs

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Anika, hey girl! Thanks for watching. Next time I try, I will do the shower thing (this is usually my preferred method for wash n gos anyways, I just hate filming in my shower). However though, I think my definition was good. What I didn't like was the absence of hold. I need hold for my wash n gos. Would doing this process in the shower help with hold per your experience or just definition?

[@kammarajackson1360]

If you want more hold try it without the leave-in, the leave-in takes away from the holding properties. It’s what I use every wash day. And I also use a second gel on top to help with smoothing and longevity.

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Kammara, hey girl! Thanks for the tip. I plan on using it again without anything else. Do you wash and go in the shower or outside of the shower?

[@kammarajackson1360]

[@stephanieedwards9854]

DON'T PAIR IT WITH NOTHIN'! Use it by itself. I heard of this gel years ago but never tried it until this year (2022) I was just never a gel person, I didn't use gels at all. I never did wash and go's because I always thought my hair would just end up super dried out. UFD is SO moisturizing I wasn't expecting that all. I swear by it I even use it as a refresher/detangler! I just add more water to use it that way. Speaking of water I suggest styling with it on DAMP HAIR not soaking wet hair. It's aloe vera based, which is pretty much water already. I see so many KZbinrs use so much water while applying product it ends up just running down their fingers defeating the purpose of applying it in the first place. Good luck next time TFS ❤️

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Thanks for the insight Stephanie 💖

[@kathyroach9344]

When you mix different products at the same time, how do you judge one product?

[@neisha_with_a_t3441]

My hair dresser used this gel on my hair without leave in . just a gel and mouse and my hair felt so amazing. about to puchcase it myself.

[@butterflyl0ve212]

I used the leave in spray, their moisturizing creme and gel combo. Before adding any of the products, my hair was moisturized and detangled. After applying the leave in conditioning spray, it felt stiff and dry. I added one of the moisturizing cream followed by the gel. My hair became very tangled and hard to manage with no slip at all. I continued on with my rod set and I had ok results but I had to work very hard to make it look decent. I bought the little sample kit of products and I am skeptical to use any of the other products or mix and match them. My hair is predominantly 4B but 4a in the front. I noticed that the products work much better on the 4A sections. I’m glad that I bought the sample kit. This is not a product I would recommend 4B hair types.

[@shelbymcdandan4431]

But your hair is so cute!! Even after 6 days. So cute! 😍

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Thank you!

[@iamchicbychristiegrays8039]

So funny I’m seeing this. My hairdresser used this on my hair and I just purchased it. Will try out on my own soon.

[@BareLux]

It gave my sister a soft hold. We did not like it for wash and go but could be better for twist. I like innersense “I create hold.”

[@taxr2111]

Hey there! I love your hair! We have the same texture. You have to use way less product and take smaller sections. Try it with the gel only. I hope that helps. And your make up is flawless!

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Hey, thank you! I must say, I've tried using just the gel and I hated the result. Although my result with the mousse wasn't my favorite, I preferred it.

[@dionebest9960]

This hair looks so gorgeous

[@VengefulAngeI]

Even though I don't have type 4 hair (duh, I know), this gel works well for so many people with all patterns, but I can't get it to work for me either 😒 I've tried dripping wet hair, regular wet, damp, you name it. I also got zero hold. Literally none. I have fine hair, and when I use this, my hair gets very wispy, and practically floats off my head lol. I tried layering it with other gels but either made no difference than just using the better gel, or sometimes it actually ruined the other gel and I would get the weird wispy hair again. I finally found a use for it though. It works great as a "dry" refresh for me! I don't like spraying any water on my to refresh, but i will take a small amount of product and mux one spray of water in my hand, emulsify it, and then just sorta twirl curls between my fingers. This works fantastic like this for me. Since that's all I use it for, I've been on the same bottle forever and still have like 85% of the bottle lol

[@dareesehinds9587]

Hey girl hey- I use UFD gel when I need my twist outs ( I’m the twist out queen) I don’t have a particular hair product that I use it with. Even though it didn’t stay the way you liked it, your hair looked beautiful. I think your right- mousse does look like it sits on hair then it absorbs in

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Dareese, hey girl hey!!! I can’t say I miss doing twistouts. Lol. But I can certainly see a very soft and defined twistout with this gel for sure. My hair was indeed soft and I don’t think it looked horrible p, it just wasn’t what I was expecting. If I just wanted to shaped my fro, it would’ve been great, but since I always expect hold in my wash n gos, it disappointed me terribly.

[@Randomname824]

It must be me. This made my hair seem frizzier. My hair is high porosity and it feel stiff and dry the next day. I can’t love it! 💔

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Well, I’m with you on that. I’ve tried using it a few more times, each time I was disappointed.

[@PreppyFay12]

What leave-in did you use? The leave-in could be what's interfering with the gel being able to stick and add hold and definition. I'd try the combo again with out the leave in and more water and see if you like the results more and get more hold and definition.

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

I used the 4C only leave-in. I plan on trying it without a leave-in next time. I do sit under a hooded dryer. I believe I mentioned that.

[@PreppyFay12]

@@Leaveit2Nessa Yeah oily leave-ins will really affect the performance of the both stylers. And yeah I edited out that part in my comment because I heard you mentioned it. It makes a huge difference sitting under the drier. Thanks for sharing with us I love Fo Adunni learned a lot from her and also love her technique.

[@arain764niara]

I have 4c hair and for some reason it was not working for me. It flaked in my hair and I didn't have time to wash out before going out so I'm wearing my hair in a ponytail. Glad I only paid $4 for it

[@dawnjohnson1635]

@@Leaveit2Nessa I used it once for a wash and go with the good hair leave in. It was great, however, I don't wear them often because my hair is longer in the back than the front. Wash and go's look weird on me. I have to wait until the top grows out .

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

You ladies keep throwing brands at me, I don't even know of. I will look up this brand and see what they're about. When my hair is longer, I have similar issue with the back being longer unless I intentionally cut it to match the rest of my hair. That's because the back of my hair is looser than everywhere else though, not sure if it's the same for you.

I used alone and also combined with olive eco styling gel. It worked out great for me..

[@adavis5646]

This is the only gel I use o my hair. There is def a learning curve. I have best results after a good shampoo. I also apply this in the shower after i've detangled with my deep conditioner. After I rinse my deep conditioner out I don't use the comb again. I only rake the product through with my fingers to help keep the curls clumped. I don't use too much, and add water if I need slip. If you add too much its very gummy and sticky. I also set it under a hooded hair drying, air drying is a no go if you are looking to avoid frizz and maintained definition. I have 4b/c hair, medium density, low porosity.

[@sc9857]

So my hair dresser used this stuff on me and I loved it. However she said the biggest trick is to use this without a leave in (may cause flaking) and to use it on very very wet hair and then sit under the hooded dryer for a little bit because the heat helps with the hold.

[@curlycoils7946]

I have type 4a hair, but its high porosity. My hair has loved this gel for the last 9 yrs now, i've been natural for 13 yrs. i have about 20 containers of it because i WnG 2-3 times a week. Have you tried it with one of its own leave-ins? For my hair, i have yet to find a gel to top it. I was hoping you had a better experience with it this go around, but that goes to show how different everyones hair needs are. Still a great review🇭🇹

[@curlycoils7946]

Also, for me, i find it works better on wet to damp, not soaking wet hair, but i can tell you are low porosity by how your products applied, so may not be helpful info.

Hey girl! Thanks for watching and also for your feedback. This is the only product from the brand that I own. Honestly, I’m not sure I want to try anything else, but never say never, right!?! Now did you say you wash n go 2- 3 times a week? Do you mind me asking why? 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

It’s funny you mentioned that fir you it works better on wet to damp hair. Someone else commented that for her, it works better on soaking wet hair (in the shower). So yes everyone’s hair is definitely different. Do you like a wash and go with hold, or does it not matter to you?

From wash to style it takes me about an hour and a half...A weekly wash does not work for me at all.

Not sure if we can really narrow it down to UFD since you mixed a few products. This gel seems to work really well for high porosity hair. I would try it alone if I were you to truly test it out

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

I don’t disagree, but I actually did try it alone last week and hated it. The results were worse. I’m going to try another combo or two until I’m done with the container and maybe I’ll do a compilation video about the different ways I tried it.

I use the curly magic as a leave in and top with wetline. I also asked that same question...is anybody using Eco anymore?😂😂😂

[@quelsplace5956]

I tried this gel when I was still transitioning and it was ok but I need to try it again. I think it would have done better for you if you applied it in the shower on soaking wet hair. Also maybe try it alone, without the mousse. Maybe the mousse altered the end result? I loved the way your hair turned out, I know it's not the type of results you like but it did look really good ☺

[@Leaveit2Nessa]

Hey Racquel, next time I try it off camera, it'll be in the shower, without the mousse. Matter of fact, I should just do so when I wash my hair tomorrow and we'll see what happens.

So the products and wash day routine has been changing like crazy as I keep making the trek forward to grow my hair. I think I have got to the point now where I see why some 4C folks can get frustrated and go back to relaxing, regular silk pressing or locking. I won't be choosing any of these since I been there and done that. But there is definitely a reason they call it a journey for sure.
