    Gina girl, I had that same issue with Uniqurl and even mentioned it in one of my videos at the end of 2020. They move really dirty. They take advantage of small creators and ignore you when you bring the situation to their attention. I didn't think they'd have the balls to do it to someone your size though. Complete trash, I tell you. They deserve to be called out.

    The braids are gorgeous!! That’s disrespectful of them to do that to you! Don’t they know u r an attorney!!! Some people don’t care and act like they are professional but don’t know how to keep business relationships!!! You ain’t paying but want to post other people’s work without their permission (copyright) not authorized by the individual is a big NO NO they won’t pay but want free work not acceptable!!! I want to only shop Black owner brands but a lot of them are doing things that I don’t accept period!!! Let’s keep it professional and respectful 💯! They can’t stop your shine love but I hesitate to have a channel cause all my products over 200 are brought with my money and I wouldn’t accept anyone taking me work and posting it for their benefits!!!💯love your channel even though I am not a 4c I rock with some of you influencer cause you guys are down to earth and cool people ❤️

    Please, I'll like to ask these questions. Don't be offended.
    1. Why did you buy it when you know your hair doesn't like glycerin?
    2. Did you use it according to instructions?
    3. Did you use other products alongside e.g. layering and oiling etc?
    4. Were you heavy-handed?
    Thanks🙏🏿

    • @OneSmartFro
      @OneSmartFro  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Because I can still typically get away with glycerin products. I typically lose definition quicker than a glycerin free product. But never within hours of using the product. Take uncle funky daughter. If I use their products a braid will last 3/4 days were a product without glycerin last all week. This was the first product that had glycerin that legit affected my hair within 1 hours of unraveling it.
