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.

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.

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.

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'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.

@@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.

Yes! Anytime I use a mousse or foaming product, it is difficult to take through my hair. It does feel tangled.

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.

First, the WnG is beautiful!

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.

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

Thats my combo too.. 🤗 My cut it kinky stylist used UFD/ICH combo when she would do my wash and go set+shape.. And I was washing my hair within a couple days of my appts because I didn't get the hold I like.. I now go in and get my shape/cuts done on my own day 2 set using the UFD as my in shower leave in and then Wetline as my topper gel.. I shampoo twice every time I wash my hair, so I'm sure to get all the product out.. But I just LOVE the UFD/Wetline combo.. I really tried the whole botanical start to finish thing, not my jam.. Lol..

It takes a long time to dry if you’re heavy handed with Uncle Funky’s Daughter Gel.

Used UFD once and it left a sticky/gummy feeling. I don't think my hair likes gels. On to mousse!

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.

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!

UFD will get tangly as my bathroom gets cooler. Works better if I apply in a shower. It’s the only negative..

Can you please try Camille Rose Curl maker and Innersence I Create Hold? Wondering how that would be since there is NO glycerin in the Curl Maker. Curl Maker: Deionized Water, Pectin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Panthenol, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Leaf/Root Extract, Agave Americana (Agave) Leaf Extract, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Xanthan Gum, Chondrus (Seaweed) Crispus Powder, Polysorbate 20, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12), Phenoxyethanol (Optiphen ND), Caprylyl Glycol, Phthalate Free Fragrance, And Love!

Was about to comment the same thing! My hair always preferred curl maker over UFD. I think it's because my hair hates aloe vera, but likes coconut. I've tried several leave ins with i create hold and they either didn't mix well or my hair flash dried and was straw-like. I'm going to try using just i create hold by itself and see what happens. But would love to know if curl maker would work because I'm struggling with i create hold and really want to make it work!

Normally, how long does it take for your hair?

@NJEberhart

Жыл бұрын

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.

Botanical gels aren’t like plastic gels so you don’t need a leave in.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.
