Happy New Year Funky Junkies! I am extremely excited to share with you our great news. Starting in February, Uncle Funky’s Daughter
will be available in 70 Target stores nationwide!! As we prepare for the launch, I wanted you to be one of the first to know!
When I acquired Uncle Funky’s Daughter over a year ago, I created several goals for the company. One goal was to make our products more available to you. But, we wanted to do this in the right way, partnering with retailers that value you as a curlista and understand the importance of natural ingredients for our hair. I also wanted to make sure we selected retailers with staying power, so that you could depend on them to be open and have our products when you needed them.
Target lines up so well with all of these things. Our research tells us that so many of you shop your local Target stores frequently for health and beauty items, making it the perfect place to fill up on our Good Funky Stuff!
Our launch into Target in February will feature our top 5 products in package sizes exclusive to Target!
Curly Magic Curl Stimulator (12 oz) - Extra Butter Brilliant Shine Creme (6 oz)
- Supercurl Miracle Moisture Creme (6 oz)
- Midnite Train Leave-in Conditioner (6 oz)
- Thirsty Curls Curl Revitalizer (6 oz)
In addition, Target will feature our Ultimate Curly Girl Travel Pack, featuring each of the above products in convenient 2 oz sizes, so you can look funky fabulous no matter where you are!
Unfortunately, we will not be in every Target store nationally as part of this launch. But, with your support we can expand our availability into even more Target stores later this year. Below is a list of select metro areas where you can find our products in your local Target:

I’m excited that your products will be more readily available, unfortunately, I live in Cleveland, Ohio. The closest Target will be in Columbus. People compliment me on my curls often, I would love to be able to direct them to a local Uncle Funky distributor. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Toni! So Curly, So Kinky, So Straight carries a few select items from our product line. Clevelanders can always purchase via our website and Amazon. With great demand via Target, we are prayerful we will expand to even more stores within Target later this year.
Thanks so much for the support!!1
I am so glad you are coming to Target! Hopefully, you will also consider putting your merchandise in the East Bay Area, which is east of San Francisco.
I am always telling people about Curly Magic and other products. I am always asked how do I get my hair like that…
However, when I mention purchasing online they will not proceed. You should increase your customer base with this rollout!
Thanks so much Mozell!! We will have a couple of stores in that area, so fingers crossed…they will be in convenient locations to you and your friends!
I am so excited that I can get your products at Target. I love how well your products work in my hair!
Thanks for the love Tiffany!
Not very happy about this. Usually when great products such as Uncle Funky’s Daughter go mainstream, the quality deteriorates. I have already seen some differences in the Richee Rich conditioner. Sadly looking for a new product for my hair…
Krista,
I totally understand your concern. I’ve seen this as well with other companies. It results when companies attempt to alter their ingredients so that they can offer lower price points for stores. As someone on who has experienced that before, my commitment is to NOT change our products in an effort to be competitive on price. We have not changed ANY formulations as part of this Target rollout…including Richee Rich. Instead, we have offered Target exclusive packaging sizes.
Richee Rich has not changed since I acquired the company. The only formulation changes we have made was to Curly Magic and that change was to take us BACK to the original formula. Feel free to contact our offices to let us know the changes you feel you have experienced in Richee Rich. We always love to hear from our customers.
Peace and Blessing,
Renee
So glad for your launch but I live in wpb fl u guys are already in various beauty supply stores in Miami why not a target in palm beach country? I am glad I can get products on Amazon but tired of paying shipping also I’m so surprised curly majic didn’t make list over all love your products
Ann,
Thanks for being such a loyal Funky Junky. Curly Magic is indeed being carried at Target. Target selects that stores we initially enter based on their market research. We pray that we do well in this initial launch so that we can expand our store presence in Target to other stores…potentially WPB!!
I am so happy to see your company and this product hitting the shelves. As a 4 year user of thirsty curl and good hair, I find many women complimenting me on my hair and I always direct them to your website. They are amazed that I, a caucation women use your product and get beautiful results time and again. I am so happy I walked into your Houston Texas shop, lucky me. Keep up the good work and good luck on this new exciting venture.
Laura,
Thanks so much for being a loyal Funky Junky! We’re blessed that you walked into our store 4 years ago and have continued to support our brand. We look forward to continuing to service your needs in the years to come! 🙂
I can’t wait really excited to try funky daughter products
Thanks so much!!!
I am excited that the product I LOVE will be in the Target stores. That implies that uncle Funky has grown and more people will be able to experience this superb product. Unfortunately, I live in the Raleigh NC area and the closest one to carry is 3 hours away in Charlotte. The beauty supply stores in the raleigh area are always out . I guess I’ll just continue to purchase online.
Carolene,
Thanks so much for the support!! Fingers crossed, if we perform will in the initial 70 stores, we will be able to expand into additional markets. Thank you for being a loyal Funky Junky!
So excited that you are bringing these great products to the ground and at one of my favorite places to get my hair products!! I am new to your product, since visiting your website I’ve tracked down 1 person in Columbus that sells this..I am in LOVE!! Uncle Funky’s Daughter holds up to what they say they will do! Thank you!
Kveta,
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments! It is a blessing to be able to service your curly hair needs!
I’m super excited, I believe I know which Target it will be, I will drive to Miami to get my beloved Curly Magic yesss!
Yes!!!! Kisha!! Thanks so much for the support and for helping to make our launch a success!!
Congrats. I hope to find them soon in Los Angeles area. I will post pictures to my social media as soon as I find them (MakeupVixen aka TastiRedbone). Congrats again.
Thanks so much!!! We love your posts on social media! We will have the store listing available in the next 1 – 2 weeks!
Really sad this will not be in the Raleigh/Durham NC area. Hate that I have to order online and wait for it to arrive. Has caused me to use other products to fill the gap. Hopefully you will make it to the area
Shirell,
We hope so too!!! With strong performance in the initial stores carrying our line, we will (prayerfully) expand into additional stores. In the meantime, we are always happy to service your needs. We do ship all orders received before 5 pm CST the same day!
I’m very excited to try your products! I am always looking for something fun & new to try & improve not waves. I live in the suburbs of Philly & I hope that some of those Targets (& not just the ones in the city) will carry your product. It will be a huge disappointment if not. Thanks!
G, We will have 2 Target stores in Philadelphia carrying our product line. Hopefully, with a strong performance in the stores which will carry our products initially, we will be able to expand to additional Target stores later this year. So, PLEASE check out the Philly stores carrying our products. With your support, we will soon have it available closer to you!
Where is the store locator page so that I can locate the Memphis, TN Target locations?
Mara,
We will have the store locator page available in the next 1 – 2 weeks. We are waiting until the products are actually in the store to list the stores on our site to reduce the confusion regarding product availability. Keep in mind that products will hit the shelves on February 1st. Thank you SO MUCH for supporting us!!!
I love your products – especially Curly Magic. It’s been my go to gel for quite some time and I’ve recommended it to many friends and family. I drive a bit out of my way every few months to purchase a couple of containers of gel from a small shop owned by and African brother who knows me by name when I walk in the door. He directs me straight to your product line with a big smile… I will probably still go to his shop because of the wonderful customer service that he provides. I was so happy when I found him here in St. Louis, MO.
Awesome Tamara! We know him very well and we are happy that you found him and will continue to support Black-owned businesses!
