UNCLE FUNKY'S DAUGTHER CHANGED THEIR FORMULA!!!

[@215pcb]

Atleast we still have the kinky curly custard and Camille Rose curl maker. Hopefully they don’t decide to ruin they’re products with Glycerin. I wish brands would just be honest with us! Say hey guys our profit to cost ration isn’t working out right now. We’re going to have to charge more for the products!!! I am ok with paying more for something that works but I am not ok with the shady Business tactics. Changing a awesome formula without any notification.

[@curlycurlbirdygirl]

Word 🙌

[@05drea86]

I don’t even think the KKCC and the Camille Rose comes close to the old UFD 😩

[@cherylgratton7940]

No wonder I found two bottles on sale at TJ Maxx. They were clearing out the old formula to make room for the new formula. These companies need to consult Courtney before they make these ridiculous changes....

[@emilybryant8461]

What???!! Curly magic is literally my favorite styler EVER! :( I'm so sad they changed it...

[@amandainreallife8635]

I much prefer the old formula. I won’t be repurchasing this due to the change, it definitely did not perform as well under the high humidity conditions here in Florida. And frankly, I miss the old smell. I really liked the earthiness of the old one. I’m a sad panda.

[@PittieSphynx]

A bit off-topic, but I love the flow of this video... I don't know if it's because it's an experiment but it kept me even more hooked than usual!

[@tracyinkits1]

She does a lot of product comparisons and ingredient content. Check out her older posts. Very informative. Great way to learn about product ingredient indeed.

[@leoskiss3390]

I knew it! I have the “new” formula with old packaging but something told me it was off, it smelled really lemony and it was looser and it dried my hair out, the old formula was a little thicker and it worked beautifully….everyone thinking the formula change is no big deal obviously they don’t live in extreme humidity or extreme dry areas

[@amandainreallife8635]

I picked some up recently and didn’t notice the formula change until after I used it. It didn’t feel or smell quite the same and it definitely didn’t perform as well for me. As a Florida girl who deals with high humidity, the addition of glycerin so high up on the list kinda killed it for me. I’m contemplating tossing out the remainder or holding off to try it again in colder weather. Im so sad 😢😢😢

[@leoskiss3390]

That was my main issue with the formula change doesn’t work in the extreme dry desert 🌵 area I live in, that was what I liked the most about UFD is that it didn’t have glycerine or protein

[@marisadaniela6]

I think Kinky Curly curling custard and Camille Rose curl maker defining gel are glycerin free, but since I never used Uncle Funky, I don't know how they compare. So sad when a beloved product that WORKS has to go and change 😫😭

[@awkwardaquarian6239]

I literally gasped and said "OH NO!" out loud when I saw the title/thumbnail. I recently fell back in love with this product to layer under a hard hold gel, because it gives me such juicy, shiny curl clumps 😍 I do like that they added protein though, because it sometimes made my hair feel a little bit damp even after it was fully dry, so I think it was too moisturizing 🤔 BTW I love the spring and bounce in your curls that the new one gave you, but agree that the old one made your hair look so shiny! ✨

[@crystalrapose6405]

Just curious what gel you layer it with? I bought some UFD back on the summer and didn't love it for my hair, no matter what styler I paired it with. I just recently bought some Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee and love it but it gives me super small clumps. Wondering if they would work well together?

[@awkwardaquarian6239]

@@crystalrapose6405 I've been trying it under the Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer and it's been super pretty, but I don't think that's the reason the wash day was turning out well and you definitely don't need to go grab an expensive gel like that one. I think the Uncle Funky's was the secret!! You might get similar results with the Biosilk so maybe try mixing a little of both in your hand to make sure they play well together, and give it a shot!

[@chasitywimbish3648]

I’m so upset by this formula change ugggghhhh!! This is a holy grail for me……time to write the company. My hair is so protein sensitive, whyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!? Just from looking at your results they seem similar, I think the old formula may be the winner, it does make a difference in how your hair feels too though, as you mentioned. Maybe if enough people complain they will go back to the old formula like Suave did 🤷‍♀️

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Hi Chasity! I did speak to UFD today. I did post an updated video here (Just wanted to add this, in case you missed it) kzbin.info/www/bejne/emmngJ-Qqtx9laM

Scrunching like my life depends on it is definitely the best way to describe what we all do on wash day hahaha

Ugh I have a gluten allergy I can’t use it now and I loved this stuff!

[@latishamitchell52]

Lots of products have humectants in them. We focus on the glycerin a lot of times and try to avoid it, but we need to look out for other humectants that acts the same as glycerin like propylene glycol, sorbitol, panthenol, honey, agave nectar, etc. They do the exact same as glycerin in humidity.

[@jenniferwilson5661]

Ugh!! The ONE TIME I didn’t buy a backup!! 😭😭😭

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Oh no!! It's always that one time...

[@surrendertoflow78]

Thank you for letting us know, especially since the company apparently wasn’t going to! Last time I used a gel with glycerin and protein in it, my hair felt so horrible I thought I had ruined it! I won’t even be tempted to try the updated formula of UFD. Guess I better savor the last of my old formula. I have been loving Ecoslay Orange Marmalade though, in part tried it because of your video on it so thank you for that too! Also, eagerly awaiting a pregnancy update video with fingers crossed for you!

[@katieschaeffer561]

I’m so bummed over this. I bought a new one a few weeks back because mine was running low. Never even noticed the formula change. I don’t particularly care for the glycerin that high up on the list. 🤞🏻

[@msshypo]

I actually have a bottle that lists water as the first ingredient, but no glycerin and no protein….I bought it about 3 months ago. So clearly they have a couple of different formulas.

[@Elizabeth_Lucy]

[@Star-dj1kw]

Thank you Courtney !!! I also watch some type 4 curlies; many of them love the Uncle Funky’s Curly Magic but many type 4 curls are also low porosity and protein sensitive so they’re probably gonna be disappointed about this.

[@stitchlightly5995]

OMGI love the uncle funky's!! Now I have to run to Target ASAP and just see it for myself in person..

[@juliehaughton6805]

I liked both “looks”, but lean more towards the “old” UFD wash day just because it looked a little shinier. I’m relatively new to the uhmm, Curly Girl Method. 😉 I started in April of this year, as a matter of fact, my profile pic was taken in May. I found your channel early on as I was desperately looking for guidance and allI can say is that I certainly found it with you! I have had a blast discovering my curly hair!! I have adult twin daughters and I have been helping them perfect their curls as well. I’ll be praying for your pregnancy to be “uneventful” and look forward to hearing that you delivered a healthy sweet baby. In the meantime, keep posting these wonderful and informative videos.

[@livelifebeautifullysuenelson]

I am so happy that I found your video! I've been using Uncle Funkys for 5 years and absolutely loved it. I noticed recently that my hair looks weighted down and my curl pattern weirdly changed. I looked at the bottle and YES it's the new formula. I'm a huge aloe vera lover for curly hair and now that aloe is no longer the first ingredient, I'm so disappointed. On the same note, I found an awesome shampoo, conditioner and hair masque with aloe as the first ingredient and it is the very best that I've ever tried. Would you be interested in reviewing it?

[@kat1368]

Your hair looked shiner on day two with the old formula

[@catherineflores7106]

I did a little googling and the rumor is that the formula was changed all the way back in 2014 and it’s taken them 7 years to update it on the bottles and their website. If that’s true, it seems a little shady and deceptive to me, and makes it hard for me to want to repurchase and support a company who wouldn’t be transparent for so long.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

That’s a little bit scary considering that people with celiac disease have to really pay attention to using products with wheat in them. Hydrolyzed wheat protein was one of the ingredients not listed on my old formula.

[@dianabakes1]

I never tried the old formula and I only just tried the new one a couple months ago and I love it! I made a rookie mistake and didn't read the ingredients so I was mad that I bought a product with glycerin so high up (living in TN). But I've been downright shocked at how good it works in my hair! I've had dew points up to the 60's and my hair was pretty decent (like what can you really expect if it's swampy outside?) but when the dew points are 30 and below, my hair does get dryer. Last week I added a leave-in when I was particularly dry and that helped. We'll see if I can use it through the winter. I have 2a/b hair and I'm 20 months into wavy-girl method.

[@torizito9347]

I've never tried the old formula but I bought the new formula recently and it did not work for my hair-- instant flash drying. Was so disappointed based on everyone hyping it up but it's possible I would've liked the old formula!

[@LadyKC67]

That’s me too. I just tried it for the first time recently and was not impressed. My hair was dryer and I had more frizz. Luckily I bought a travel sized kit on sale so I’m not out a lot of money. I won’t be purchasing it again, as there are much better products on the market for my hair.

[@audreylehla3200]

@@SwavyCurlyCourtney yes, I watched the video. Thank You. Not sure how I feel about it all. I plan on going to Target and get one and see what happens. I definitely don’t think the company is being 100% truthful. If I try it and it doesn’t do well, I will know it is different. Because I used my old bottle twice. Last two wash days.

I'm so glad you posted this video - I planning to try it soon as the ingredient list looked great. My hair hates glycerin in any leave in hair styling product so I definitely won't be buying it ever. Really crazy to change formula so drastically - should have just put price up and created a new product with new ingredients for those who wanted a cheaper styling product.

[@TheNenaBrown]

I hate that they change the ingredients but NOT the price.. The new formula is watered down (I say that bc water is the 1st ingredient which means the product is 70-80% water) & then comes the glycerin.. 😒.. While glycerin isn’t a deal breaker for me, the price point should be reflected in the ingredient changes (cheaper)! Thank you for sharing & ironically I liked the new formula better on your hair 💖

[@columbia2635]

I wish I'd seen this a few days ago. For months I've been seeing all of these videos praising UFD's Curly Magic and jumped at the chance to buy it recently because it was on sale.

[@kaylamcpherson1544]

I started using Uncle Funky's about a year ago and recently ran out of my first bottle of it (I don't use it often) and I definitely noticed a difference. My hair is a little drier now when I use it, but as long as I pair it with a light leave-in then it still works great for me! I think my hair needs that little bit of extra protein and roughness to hold some shape for a day or two. I actually didn't even know that this wasn't a "hard hold" product until this video... I've been using it as my hardest hold product the whole time and just kept thinking 'i don't know how everyone else gets such a hard gel cast at all!' - rookie mistake 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm excited to try pairing it with a REAL gel!!!

[@cindyf.]

I’m so sad, the main reason I loved UFD is because it was glycerin free and it worked so well for me. (The climate where I live is super humid).

[@JeanieD]

I’m glad you tested them against each other and let us know about this. I had always wanted to try this product out, but when I tried to get it, it was not available (probably while they were reformulating). ☹️ I guess I won’t be trying it now, with the addition of glycerin. I think your hair had better definition with the old formula.

[@msdazzler]

Perhaps next time, do what Mel Manes do… do half product and half different product on your hair on the same wash day so you really get a strictly same day

[@danielleskin27]

I use this every wash day paired with a strong hold gel and it just works so beautifully for me, so I’m kinda bummed about this! I hope the new formula works just as well for me. I still have about half a bottle of the old formula left so at least I’m good for now. 😔

[@sing4stace]

Ditto. This product is in my routine every time 🙁

[@kengurooable]

I love both looks but, I think, the second one was better and had a better hold throughout a day. I'm looking forward to trying the new formula, my hair loves glycerine and protein, so, maybe, that would be an improvement...

Noooooo. I just bought a new bottle...UFD Curl Magic is a core product in my hair routine. I use a leave-in, UFD, put my hair in a towel then throw mousse into plopped hair & air/diffuser dry. It took me so long to figure out this combination of products & styling techniques. ok, now that I've freaked out I will watch the video lol :D Edit: I checked the bottle I am currently using & the bottle I just bought--yep, the ingredients are different. Idk if the protein will bother my hair much since I use so many moisturizing products & often add in conditioners & leave-ins with protein. I don't want to open the new formula to check the smell since I'm only about half done with my open bottle. Fingers crossed the new formulation works for me as well as the old formulation did.

Well the wheat does it for me! I am gluten free! Dang it anyway… The universe keeps sending me to my homemade flaxseed gel and all the wonderful things I add to it!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Homemade flaxseed is lovely! What do you like to add to it?

[@suzupetal]

@@SwavyCurlyCourtney can i pm you because i am still experimenting and i think i am going to put it on my Etsy?? ? i do need a guinea pig or three ;-)

[@marfantabulous7743]

What is that difusser/dryer combo?

[@laurapeter3857]

Nooooo!!!!!!!!

[@daniellejones9048]

You’re going to think I’m crazy but my bottle’s ingredient list doesn’t match either of the ones you’ve shown😱

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Nope! Totally don't think your crazy!

[@keyzaalmanza6971]

Did you reach out to the company?

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yes, I did! I just spoke with them today and updated here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emmngJ-Qqtx9laM

[@215pcb]

What a shame!!!!! This used to be an amazing product.

[@romahnefrancisco9421]

First to comment !!! Amazing Courtney 💛

[@olivia-wh4mj]

Has anyone else noticed a huge difference in Courtney’s Hair pattern ??😳🤔

[@LadyKC67]

Yeah. I thought it was just me. Pregnancy perhaps? 🤔

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yup, Courtney is very pregnant and wow, has it ever cause my curl pattern to stretch out! 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

[@nicolet7735]

I think it's pretty lame to change a product that much and not indicate it on the packaging

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Hi! So just wanted to let you know, I did speak with the company. Per UFD they did not change ingredients. I shared what I found out in this updated video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emmngJ-Qqtx9laM

[@dennissems]

Terrible! I definitely will not purchase. I’ve been using UFD for a long time too. I am so sad.

[@chrystalthornton1502]

Have you ever tried to scrunch your top and sides? Seems strange to leave most of your hair straight and only curl the back.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yep! Plus, when I brush it back, it does give my volume challenged hair a lift!

[@stephaniehayek714]

Came to see the comments just to see if it bothered anyone else that she wasted product on that towel! Especially since it was the last few ounces of the old formula! Anyone? Just me? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
