Alicia uses her platform @VotedBestHair to share her journey.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Open. Honest. Insightful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those are three words describing what people look for in those they listen to for advice. There are also three words that describe natural hair blogger and YouTuber Alicia, better known as @VotedBestHair (clever right?). She started her YouTube channel<\/a> in 2012 with the mission to evaluate her own passions and share them with the world one video at a time. Things that some may view as too personal or wouldn\u2019t dare share, Alicia has shared with grace and humility in hopes that sharing pieces of her life to viewers would not only be relatable, but also inspirational to those willing to receive the message. <\/span><\/p>\n

We took a few moments to ask Alicia some things we are dying to know and that new and future viewers would expect to know.<\/span> It’s been 8 years since she started her natural hair journey by transitioning; we wanted all the details.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn’t bold enough to big chop (I don’t have the head for it), so I slowly transitioned by doing plenty of twist outs, braid outs, and roller sets,\u201d she said. \u201cTransitioning allowed me the opportunity to really get to know my hair and to try out new styles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

We know a lot of our Funky Junkies (like you!) wonder how to retain length during your natural hair journeys. Alicia says, and we know you may hear it a lot but, healthy hair is more important than hair length.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t really focus on hair growth as much as I do hair health. \u00a0I think that because I take care of my hair by moisturizing daily, deep conditioning and regular trims, my hair has been able to grow to [the length] it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inclusion and insight are both values here at Uncle Funky’s Daughter. Our products are made with a variety of people in mind, and everyone has a favorite, including Alicia.<\/p>\n

Alicia keeps her UFD travel sizes on hand at all times!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cMy favorite UFD product is Curly Magic<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0This product truly is magical! \u00a0I love the way it makes my curls pop with a single application,\u201d she said. \u201cGlossy<\/span><\/a> is another one of my favorites. \u00a0It reminds me of the curl activator back in the 80\u2019s. \u00a0I appreciate that I can take the bottle along with me wherever I go to add a little shine to my hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

She literally keeps a travel sized bottle of Glossy<\/span><\/a> with her. No joke. She loved UFD so much that Alicia joined our team of Dynamite Divas earlier this year…and it\u2019s such an awesome, fitting union. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love being a Brand Ambassador for UFD because I get to educate women on our amazing products,\u201d she said, also <\/span>sharing a few things she loves about the brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I love most about Uncle Funky’s Daughter is that they have products for every hair type. \u00a0I enjoy the fact that whether wavy, curly, or kinky there is a product that will work for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Funky\u2019s Daughter works to not only keep your hair healthy and \u00a0happy, but to empower women and women! Alicia, as our brand ambassador represents us in doing that.
