Summer is for sunshine, beach days, and… binging shows that make you yell at the screen like it’s the group chat with your besties. You swear you’re only going to watch one episode, but three snack breaks and four plot twists later… you’re fully invested in streaming these guilty pleasures.
Shows like Love Island have a chokehold on us. The accents, the drama, the recouplings, the slow-mo beach walks—it’s peak emotional cardio.
To be honest, it’s not just the love triangles that keep us hooked—it’s the hair flips, the poolside glow-ups, and the way everyone somehow looks camera-ready 24/7. (Teach us your ways, islanders!)
But Love Island isn’t the only guilty fave in our rotation. Here are a few other summer indulgences we can’t help but stream—and the Uncle Funky’s Daughter products that match their vibe.
1. Love Island 💕
What we love: The flirt fest, the romance, the sun-kissed drama.
UFD Match: Curly Magic — because keeping your curls romantic and standards defined through summer’s heat and humidity (while fending off emotional breakdowns) is a real flex.
2. Bel-Air 🤴🏽
What we love: Aunt Viv and Ashley promise to continue to serve drama, style, and beauty in the final season of the “Fresh Prince” reboot. And we’re here for all of it!
UFD Match: Richie Rich — because when life (or your ends) throws you drama, this rich, creamy conditioner made with avocado oil restores your crunchy ends and your ability to throw style shade.
3. Forever ♾️
What we love: A little offbeat, witty, yet deeply relatable—this series dives into love, identity, and what happens after the “happily ever after.” From the original Judy Blume book of the same title, this modern adaptation is the kind of show you can binge in a weekend, then immediately recommend to your curlfriends with the disclaimer: “just trust me.”
UFD Match: Maximum Thermal Protection Kit — Protect your edges and your blowout from the heat because your strands don’t deserve or want that smoke! Keep it sexy and stylish!
4. Too Hot to Handle 🔥
What we love: Watching beautiful people try to behave. (Spoiler: They can’t.)
UFD Match: Defunk — because with all that tension, someone’s gotta keep things fresh.
5. Queen Charlotte 🎻
What we love: The corsets! The slow burns! The drama wrapped in classical pop covers and royal aesthetics. Whether it’s secret rendezvous or ballroom stares that last just a second too long—we’re swooning.
UFD Match: Shining Star — this lightweight shine serum gives every curly quiff a queen’s glow.
