WYDH ebook: www.blackcurlmagic.com - Навчання та стиль
Thank you for this information. There is so much to learn about my natural hair. It is truly a journey!!
Great video! So glad you mentioned henna damage. I literally shaved my whole head last time due to henna damage…I know exactly what you mean about the dryness and the raised cuticles.
Yes! I should have done that. Just get it over with.
Awesomeness! I'm not sure if you mentioned when and how long you've been on this journey. But looking at your gorgeous cut & curls you should definitely be the Model/Poster Child for this method. I've listened to a lot of UA-camr's feedback on WYDH and so appreciated you referencing and sharing from the original ebook along with w/your personal experience and product critique.👍🏿💙👌
Thank you! In the video I think I had been using their techniques for a little over a month
You shared that info well 👍 ...I was curious about the ebook...hold on to your copy bc it's going to be considered the first informal version of the 2nd edition...sure would like that copy myself even though I'm getting the 2nd edition asap!! These ladies are quite inventive. They're making their mark in American natural hair history. Seems like they see our or curly tightly hair as their canvass. They are definitely on a mission. And as their destiny moves them from over the chair to Chairwomen over the entire operation world- wide. They're going to need ambassadors to keep the legacy going. Why not though? There was room for sassoon, Paul mitchell, redkin, Mary kay, Liz arden, etc...there is room for the AA's....I'm just so grateful to be able to watch 2 living legends! I mean they were born for this! I knew it when I saw the first vid...you too are meant to work in this manner...you brought that!!!
I've already taken up a lot of your page but I'm excited about history playing out in my real time...that's incredible...I'm keeping my eyes 👀 on all of you stylist who love love love doing hair...this is your turn at greatness!!!!

HA! Thank you for sharing these, they gatekeep the hell out of them on Instagram so it’s nice to see what products they actually recommend since they’re really rude to people who are just curious about them.
They emphasize it’s not so much about the products (except they do recommend quality products) but about technique. Therefore, they want you to join See Some Curls to learn the why’s and how’s. I joined and I really do recommend people doing so. You can cancel at anytime.
@@Simplylockd I would if I didn’t already have the perfect product/routine going on. I’m able to give myself the curls they have to teach their clients how to achieve.
I don’t know if they’re rude but I think what it is is they set very clear boundaries that they are not telling people how to take care of their hair over the Internet. Their logic is I don’t know you , I’ve never seen your hair they don’t know what condition it is in . I think as professionals they just they just said we’re not going to do that, you need to either go to somebody that we recommend or come see us . Because they feel like their technique is worth it and that you should pay them
I absolutely agree! They are professionals and clearly great at their craft. You pay for professionalism and expertise. UA-camrs get paid too. But most often they are giving out inaccurate information.
Have you tried CM with ic fantasia as a topper?
That combo gave me lots of shine and hold. Ic fantasia is approved by black girl curls and a little more affordable than other gels on the list. But a really nice combo
No I haven’t. I may do so though. Thanks! 😁
Love the video. Straight forward about product recommendations. I really need this. Now I have a fresh start🧡
Thank you for watching 🤗
I haven’t mastered getting my UFD Curly Magic down to my roots yet and enough water.
I like applying my products outside the shower. I section, spray warm water from root to tip, then apply CM from root to tip in about 1 inch sections but I then rake my fingers through vertically to ensure every strand (down to the root) has product. Just take your time 🙂
Your hair looks great!!
Thank you!
LOVING this cut! ❤️. Thank you for the product tips.
Thank you for this. I’m thinking of starting the process but had no idea which products to use
Great! Do it! I’d also highly suggest joining See Some Curls 30dayhairdetox.teachable.com/ to learn application techniques and the way of using what/when.
Thank you for making this video
Thank you for watching 🤗
Can you send the link to Amazon for your hooded dryer? I agree, my hair is thriving since I stopped the butters and oils
Professional Adjustable Hooded Stand-Up Hair Bonnet Dryer with Timer Swivel Caster Rolling Base for Beauty Salon or Home Use www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6UA87S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_P0ETDR7Y3AQ2N3JXYN1Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you beautiful
@@Simplylockd Thank You
You’re welcome ☺️
your short cut is beautiful. no one ever video on just low porosity white hair, is protect to be restricted from low porosity best products for low porosity white or gray hair, does white course hair like creams or gels but thanks for this great video
Hi Josephine. Porosity only matters in coloring services and not product selection. Choose your products on the outcome (definition or volume) you are trying to achieve based on your style (wash n go, twists, rod sets)
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you! Very helpful
You’re welcome 🙂 I’ll be doing an update soon based on their new release of the book. But they didn’t add to the product list. They took away from it.
@@Simplylockd Interesting. Looking forward to your update.
thank you for this i cant afford to buy the book right now
Wow thank you so much for sharing this information!! Is there a hooded dryer they recommend? Now that my hair retains moisture it takes forever to dry.
Thank you for watching 🙂 no, no particular hood dryer
Amazon has dryers but I think I should be writing the English manuals bc I couldn't get it...understand them...
Curl Junkie Repair Me is AMAZING!! You will like it.
🤞🏽 hoping 😁
@@Simplylockd That’s also a product I’ve considered trying but with their philosophy I wouldn’t t need it unless somethings wrong with my hair. If I still folllow Iamblackgirlcurls methodology and start blowing out my hair let’s say in the winter before styling 2x a month would it be then helpful to protein treat my hair once a month? My hair is otherwise not damaged, tightly coiled, no scalp issues, normal density and strand size. No henna.
Only protein if needed
Thanks for the video! It was super informative. I know I’m one of your comments you mentioned using wetline as a topper gel instead of ICH for your wng in the video. What are all the products then that you used together? Was it only UFD and wetline for this wng in the video? I’m trying to find new product combos because at the moment, I use UFD, ICH, and mousse def and my hair only lasts about 4 days maybe🤦🏽♀️ However, I recently used ORS hair paint wax and since it’s a stronger holding product, my hair still looked great at 7 days and honestly could’ve been longer but I just deceived to wash my hair anyway. So in that case, I want to find a better holding gel and/or a topping foam as well for my wng. Thanks!
Hey! 🙂 I used As I Am original leave in, CM, and then the Wetline. It was cute but I do feel your hydration factor is better just using CM & ICH. I’m currently back using that because I saw a change in my hair with using the plastic gel. If your style is only giving you 4 days it’s because of 1) your technique 2) how you preserve it at night, or 3) your hydration level. I’d suggest keep using CM, ICH & mousse def. If it needs redoing at day 4; Redo it. Eventually it’ll start lasting the 7-10 days 🙂
@@Simplylockd Thanks so much! Yeah I’ve been trying to work on my technique but I’ve tried several different ways and it’s still not holding up so I need to figure that out😅 Also, about how long would you say it takes you to style your hair? I’ve been doing the detox ever since April and it’s still taking 1.5 hours for me
Cleanse and condition about 8-10 minutes. Setting 30 minutes. But my hair is short 😂 even though the shorter sides and back is what takes me the longest. Ensuring every strand has product
Love you hair!
Thank you 🤗
thanks for the info...hair looks fab!
Thank you! 🤗
Great video. I just started the 30 days without oils. Could you recommend shampoo conditioner and a leave in for someone is on a budget. Thanks
Kinky Curly Come Clean for clarifying shampoo. Mielle Babassu shampoo and Babassu mint conditioner for weekly cleanse. A leave isn’t necessarily needed but you can try Kinky Curly Knot Today or Keracare Naturals leave in. Don’t buy your products from Amazon.
Absoulutely Love the Doux Mousse.
Thank you so much for sharing this info! Do you have any alternatives to the deep conditioners you mentioned?
Hi 🙂 alternative deep cons can be TGIN honey miracle or their moisture rx. Also, Camille Rose coconut water deep conditioner.
@@Simplylockd thank you! I picked up the camille rose today! Very excited to give this challenge a go!
Thanks for this info! I was wondering do you know if the said we can use UNCLE FUNKY DAUGHTER CLARFYING SHAMPOO OR CONDTIONER?
Hi, I mentioned this in the video 🙂 thank you for watching
What’s your product combination for the DE curl enhancing mousse for wash & go style ?
CM as base gel
Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Greetings, Your videos are great! I have a question, I've recently purchased UFD's Curly Magic. Which economical gel styler would you recommend pairing that with for definition? Something protein free. Would Wetline work.
Thank you,
Thank you! Yes, Wetline would work. The wash n go in the video was done using it as my topper gel
@@Simplylockd I am black girl curls advises against Wetline. I don't know them apart by name but one of them said ic Fantasia gel is ok.
They do. But it doesn’t have to be followed to a T. Also, UFD as a base is definitely a buffer from the Wetline
@@Simplylockd And in my opinion if you clarify and switch up your gels and not use Wetline all the time it should be ok right?
Right! I think what BGCs really wanted people to do was to 1) start effectively cleansing their hair 2) stop applying raw oils and butters to their hair and 3) use quality products. Wetline isn’t quality but if you’ve used quality cleansing, conditioning, and base gel or leave in; then Wetline won’t hurt. With the understanding that occasional clarifying will be needed.
Hi @healthoverlength the uncle funkys innersense combo makes my hair super crunchy. Is that common, good?
You may not be using enough water and using too much ICH.
@@Simplylockd okay thank you
Have you tried Hydracurl's Curlformer styler? It seems to have a learning curve but it has no oils in it. I've been looking at it for a while but haven't tried it yet.
No I haven’t. Probably won’t unless she offers professional pricing 😁
It's the "learning curve" for me...thanks for the tip
Thank you 🙏🏽😍
Your hair is gorgeous
Thank you 😊
I subbed
Thank you!! 🤗
Hi, do you have an alternative to the AG Balance Shampoo? I’m sensitive to scents and it’s too strong for me. I know it’s considered an all-purpose shampoo. Any recommendations? Thank you.
Sure. The Babassu shampoo by Mielle
What is a topper gel? And what's the purpose for it?
Hi Crystal. Joining See Some Curls would give you a far better explanation than I can. There are different toppers used for particular reasons. I use ICH to protect my hair from humidity.
@@Simplylockd ohh ok.
The See Some Curls digital library didn’t make it that clear why toppers are needed until they added an old live video from the now closed digital salon. They have since removed that video. So joining is not going to explain very well.
A topper is an additional gel used to help against environmental factors that can cause issues like frizz. You typically are looking for a gel topper that is an anti humectant. The base gel (usually botanical) are filled with humectants that can pull moisture from the air or allow dry environments to take moisture from your hair. So essentially it is a gel the provides a shield from the elements and allows you to wear a wash and go for 7 to 10 days.
I hope this wasn’t too confusing. I initially thought a topper would give shine or provide additional softness. 😆 They don’t do anything like that. They are not finishing products which the A’s don’t even recommend.
@@danyale06 great explanation! Thank you so much❤
Is you hair colored? Why the Innersense color line if your hair isn’t colored?
Conditioning purposes
@@Simplylockd Thanks.
Omg your hair looks like your a pro stylist, finally a stylist with great hair! Lol Just saying!
😂😂😂 thank you 🤗
Can you recommend an alternative for the I create hold gel? It’s not readily available in my area. I have the uncle funky curl stimulator but I’m looking for one to put on top of it.
You can try Aunt Jackies Don’t Shrink gel or IC Fantasia clear gel
I tried the EcoSlay botanical gel on top of my uncle funky's....I really liked it...But it has to stay in the fridge and you can only purchase on their site....
I won’t be trying that one 😂 because I hate putting cold products on my hair
@@Simplylockd one more question I recently chopped mine to a length of yours in this video. How did you keep from having to read wet your hair bc in the morning my hair is pressed into my head? I sleep with a satin bonnet on.
I just pull (like a claw motion) my hair up and away to reawaken it. Mine be smooshed too 😂
For the AG shampoo is that considered all over shampoo? Also we can use a leave in? I have the Mille organic pomegranate leave and curl smoothie is that good? It smells so good lol
Yes, AG is an all purpose shampoo to be used weekly or every 7-10 days. You can use a leave in but not deemed necessary. CM is moisturizing by itself. And leave ins are considered low level holding agents. Just be sure it doesn’t have heavy oils in the first 5 ingredients. Both of your products probably have heavy oils/butters in them, so not recommended. However, if you just want to use them, be sure to clarify your hair. Probably monthly.
@@Simplylockd I see, I looked at both of the ingredients the smoothie had coconut oil but it’s not in the first 5 ingredients which I’m happy 😊
Does it have castor or olive oil within the first five?
@@Simplylockd it doesn’t just checked
Oh ok! Should be fine 🙂
Is Innersense in the book as recommended products?
Yes
Is uncle funky’s sold at any beauty supply shops for professionals? Are they a distributor to pros?
They do sell to pros. You have to start an account and order $500 in initial products.
Is CurlSmith line recommended?
It’s not on the list but if it’s doesn’t has excess oils and butters in the first 5 ingredients, then it should be ok 🙂
I love their cowash and you can catch a sale from time to time at Ulta ❤️
How dare someone give you a thumbs down?
Girl I’ve made it! 😂
@@Simplylockd you made what?
@@Simplylockd Facts, lol.
If you want more people to watch your videos, please list the items mentioned in your description box.
That’s what watching is for 😂
I love to press pause and get a notepad and pen to make notes. It's also good to document your results from the products as not all products are good for everyone. Make it a personal project #selfcare
Do you recommend using a leave in conditioner?
Depends. For twists, no. If CM doesn’t lock up on your , no. But I have found using a leave in for myself before I apply my CM helps it smooth onto my hair better
It doesn’t lock up, I put it on my hair when it’s soaking wet.
I was doing that too but it still snag on my ends. I just got a new cut so haven’t tried it yet to see if that was the problem.
@@Simplylockd Please update us! I think this is quite interesting. I just be working through the locked up feeling and use the mousse on top to really help smooth and rake through my hair.
I recently got a cut and that has helped 🙂
Hello I am wondering what are your thoughts on Innersense I Create Volume. Have you used it as a topper over UFD CM? Have you tried it with your clients? I am curious as I find that ICH over UFD makes my hair too stiff and hard (feeling of my hair) and too flat for too long for my liking. I wash every 4 to 5 days regardless of my styling outcome because my scalp itches bad after that length of time. I am considering trying ICV. I am going to a CIK stylist in a few weeks and will ask them after they have had time to see my hair, feel it and have a more in depth consultation but wanted to know your opinion. My former CIK stylist ( I moved out of their area) recommended me to use UFD + Design Essentials mousse because I preferred volume over flat hair and to defend against humidity where I used to live.
Hi. I’ve never used ICV. Another watcher mentioned she does and like it. For volume on my fine hair clients, I normally use CM with DE mousse 🙂
The title captured me 😂
😁
I suggest look for fast hair growth fortified shampoo.
Thanks but no thanks 😁 I’ve definitely found my tried and true cleansers
