So when a co-worker with natural hair recommended she try Uncle Funky\u2019s Daughter <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/curly-magic.html\" target=\"_blank\">Curly Magic Curl Stimulator<\/a><\/strong> a little over a year ago, Ann was initially a bit reticent to go the natural route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI told her \u2018My hair is so coarse. I don\u2019t think my hair can curl like that\u2019,\u201d Ann recalled. \u201cAnd she said \u2018Oh, all of us black people have curly hair \u2014 we just don\u2019t realize it!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, Ann had to take her skin condition into account. She\u2019s long dealt with eczema and skin irritations, and believes the issues were exacerbated by trying so many products in her search for a long-term hair care solution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A chronic inflammatory skin disorder, eczema is thought to be the second-most common skin ailment in the African-American community. While there is no known cure for the condition, it can be caused by several differing factors, including allergies, genetic history and climate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnnMcIntoshChatBoxQuote-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-397\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-397 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnnMcIntoshChatBoxQuote-1-595x72.jpg\" alt=\"AnnMcIntoshChatBoxQuote\" width=\"693\" height=\"84\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnnMcIntoshChatBoxQuote-1-595x72.jpg 595w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnnMcIntoshChatBoxQuote-1-768x93.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnnMcIntoshChatBoxQuote-1-960x116.jpg 960w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnnMcIntoshChatBoxQuote-1.jpg 2059w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLike every other woman, I probably tried everything everybody told me to do,\u201d Ann shared. \u201cIt was a ridiculous amount of products, and nothing ever really quite worked.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fortunately, Ann\u2019s friend was able to assuage her concerns. That afternoon, they sat down and ordered Ann\u2019s very first bottle of <a href=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/curly-magic.html\"><strong>Curly Magic<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>together, and she has been a proud and loyal Funky Junky ever since. In that time, she\u2019s also come to love the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/thirsty-curls.html\" target=\"_blank\">Thirsty Curls Leave-In Curl Revitalizer<\/a><\/strong> to keep\u00a0her style looking fresh.
