    OMG I was pleasantly surprised with Uncle Funky's Curl Stimulator. It doesn't have a cast but my curls stayed in place for a full week!😱 That never ever happens for me. My curls need a freaking cast, but that gel got me shooketh to my coreth💯

    You are right on time with this video!!! I forgot about the Giovanni gel. I have it but haven't tried it, and I need to try it because I just tried the argan Eco Style gel, and the results are awesome but I dislike the ingredients.

    That giovanni has a super strong hold. I have never used it for a wash n go. I used it for a slick style and my hair was so crunchy i never picked it back up. I dont like crunch

    Thank you for the recommendations. I have been looking for natural gels with strong hold because Eco Styler and Wetline dry my hair out if I use them back to back. I live in the south and need a strong hold in the summer. Great video.

    • @ALove4Me

      Who you tellin! Yes, strong hold or not at all in these humid southern streets.

    This review is right on time! I actually googled ingredients for Eco styler this morning and it contains wheat. Unfortunately I’m gluten intolerant and CANNOT mess with it at all!!!! Thank you so much for the review. My CVS carries the Giovanni LA and I will be picking it up tomorrow.

    I agree with Red seouls; I love Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic! It holds your hair and in my opinion, that what's counts. This will be my reference when I run out of the gels I currently have in my stash.

    I use Treluxe hi definition gel and love it. I also use Jessicurl Spiralicious Gel and I get definition, hold and crunch; used it last week and got 6 days out of my wng. I used the CRN Lavender gel and I was not impressed because it did not hold past one day, so CRN Curlmaker is still my go to all year round. I need to see if I can find that Giovanni Gel. Thank you for sharing.

    Great Video, I have the Fro'zen grip but haven't tried it and I will have to revisit the Treluxe Hi Definition again because I don't remember it being great for my 4c hair. I was surprised that you didn't have kinky curly curling custard on the list because I bounce between KCCC and UFDCM as almost the same products with very similar results for me. But I am in Colorado and I remember when you were here and you did braids due to the dry climate. I have been following you forever and love your content.

    • @ALove4Me
      @ALove4Me  Před 5 lety +4

      I find KCCC doesn't have a lot of hold or the same longevity as UFDCM

    @curlynella1011 Před 2 lety +3

    That uncle funkys does not survive when stretching your hair and too light weight. It was fine when freshly applied but after it was drying up I know it wouldn’t hold much and I was right. Excellent for twists though even though it remains sticky for a few days.

    Even though I hate that Giovanni gel, I know that you can get it at the mega Bed, Bath, and Beyond stores as well. Someone told me I couldn’t say drip and grip was natural because of the few unnatural ingredients. 🙄

      Why do you dislike the Giovanni gel? I have some but only tried a little bit on a section but am not familiar with how gels work either. Maybe I still have time to return it if there's something specific that is an issue. Thanks

    • @WhatTheKink
      @WhatTheKink Před 5 lety +2

      Sable 711 My experience won’t really help you. Try that gel out! It just doesn’t clump my hair at all and I don’t like the smell. Leaves my hair looking like there isn’t any product.

    • @sable7114
      @sable7114 Před 5 lety

      @@WhatTheKink I only tried it on a small section of here and I've never done a washing go so I don't know about clumping and I don't know what to expect. Seems like crunch is supposed to be a positive thing as well, not certain if I know what that means when it comes to hear either. Doesn't sound like a positive thing but it must be. Thanks for your response and I'll try it on a bigger section of here next time. Just also wondered if gels are supposed to be shampooed out frequently, are they damaging? Or can I wait until my usual wash day which is generally Lee about 3 weeks.

    • @sable7114
      @sable7114 Před 5 lety
