Wash And Go, To Grow And To Dazzle 2020 Challenge

This is why I find this situation wack. They are trying to say the product we all know and is very well liked has had glycerin and protein in it the whole time? I know everyone responses to protein differently but I feel like more people would say it made their hair hard or stiff if they are protein sensitive and it's really listed that high on the ingredient list.

When I use UFD and it's humid my hair does feel like it's pulling moisture from the air. So has it really had glycerin this whole time? I am confusion.

ETA: a picture of the bottle.

That is confusion. The way my hair and the product reacts to humidity when using the Curly Magic, feels more like how I would expect it to react to the agave (listed on my bottles), it even tastes sweet :look:. They need to hit us with some honesty and clarity, please.
 
I bought a sample bottle of the Quidad climate control yesterday. I did a quick dry wash and go/wash and fro this morning. I think this would be nice on longer hair that wants a fluffy braid out look. Following Aishia instructions, its a must to stretch out afterwards. Otherwise, the hair will be plastered to your head like a helmet.

Although my hair feels pretty lightweight, it does have that light crispy mousse/foam feeling. I don't think there is any way around that feeling. I actually prefer the feeling of soft pliable plastic that gels and custards gives. I want to see how my hair looks tomorrow to determine if I try this again. Mousse Def used alone on damp hair and air dried gives me more definition. I don't even have to stretch or fluff it.

Some time this weekend I'll try sitting under the dryer for Mousse Def alone. I rarely sit under the dryer because it dry pretty fast.

Glycerin is pretty sweet too and edible.

I wonder if the older ingredient list is the one used by the original owners and the new owners just never changed the label or something. I want to know how long has the glycerin, jojoba oil and wheat protein been used in the formula? They cant honestly say those have always be the ingredients since day of inception.

Thanks! I didn't know glycerin is sweet too. But I'd put money on it not previously having glycerin as an ingredient (I know I'm trusting the old list, little comfort that gives). No matter what, my hair always feels crispy and loses definition with products with glycerin. And second to KCCC, UFD (old list) has been a fabulous contender.

I havent washed my hair. Need to though. Im going to be getting a wig installed for the first time ever next Friday so Im going to go into stretched styles next wash day to keep my hair as pulled out as possible. I'might wash today depending on whats going on after work. If not, Sunday after I get off from work.

Knowing me I only wear the thing for a day. I really wanna see how a bob looks on me.

A lace front wig? I know nothing about wigs. I want to see a picture once you have it installed.
 
I am very confused about the UFD labeling changes. If they have had wheat protein all along I would think that would open them up to lawsuits from people who can’t tolerate gluten.

I still have a lot of UFD in stock, but I wonder if I should get more just in case they really have changed the product.

So the first formula didn't have it apparently. The second formula did. And at some point they went back to the first. The new label is a concoction of both??

Thanks for this. I was too lazy to do the research. UFD has some explaining to do.

I wonder what the As have to say about the UFD change. Let me go over to IG….

Basically Aeleise stated that she wasn’t concerned about the jojoba oil but rather the preservatives. She is concerned about those who are gluten sensitive. She either thinks they have been lying and it could explain why some people have reactions to the products or they have changed the formula/concentration.

It’s just ICH. She says there has been a shift in formula. It dried in roughly 40 mins and is crunchy even after fluffing. She hasn’t really trialed this wash and go yet.

Why does everyone have to change their formula???

I thought ICH wasn’t considered botanical gel…
I can’t believe I never tried this by itself, but I think @toaster has.

Ah I can’t remember! I did so many trials with ICH and whatever that innersense leave in and cream are.

I don’t think I have any left to trial.

I know without a doubt uncle funky’s isn’t enough hold for me to use alone. At some point I want to try Jell-O shot alone.

I tried jello shot alone. It was hard to spread the results were good but I prefer it over UFD or KCKT.
 
I did a 2nd round with the fast dry wash n go this week. This time I used Mousse Def as the base and I Create Hold on top. I liked it. My hair dried with nice definition but more volume than usual, which is great for me since I have low density hair. The extra fullness me good. It has a bit of "crunch" to it, which I don't mind. It helps in this Florida humidity. My hair also had a sheen to it, which I don't normally see. I'd use this combo again - and it did dry super fast.
 
Since I’m interested in doing more frequent wash and go’s, I’ve been looking into Anthony Dickey and LouLou. For some reason I’m just not interested in trying Dickey’s products to go along with method. Well, mainly they are expense for how much and how often they are to be used. I swear it looks like he just pour out the entire bottle for everything he uses.

I see on Instagram LouLou has been doing the Design essential mousse and Quidad climate control combo back 6 weeks ago. She is also an advocate of just using leave-in and saying stylers are optional like makeup. She doesn’t often tell her products or at least it didn’t seem as if she did when I last checked her out. I’m back to being curious about what she uses. I’m pretty sure it has to be quick drying since she lives in Miami.

I pinch and zoom in on her pictures when there's product in the background and I'm curious. She uses a variety of things. I'm sure she changes it per client but yeah you're right. She still doesn't explicitly say very often.
 
Lou Lou is the one that changed the way I shampoo. I spend a lot of time getting my hair super wet before I even start shampooing. She says to let the water start to remove some of the product before you even shampoo. She probably added 7 minutes to my wash day, but I can feel a lot of the product just rinse away under the water and I scrub my scalp for a while before I put shampoo on.

I spend more time getting my hair wet as well before shampooing because of watching her videos.
