A lady walked up to me in HEB and asked me which products I was using on my hair. It caught me off guard at first, but as I diverted my attention from the fresh broccoli, I turned to see a sister with a lion's mane worth of curly hair. All I could say was, wow, I should be asking you! She told me, she gets her hair done at Uncle Funky's Daughter and that she uses their products Good Hair and Supercurl. My attention totally away from dinner now, I thank my lioness angel and made a note to get on over to that Uncle Funky's Daughter asap. (What a funny name!)
I didn't get over there until Saturday at 1:00 pm an found a line of kinky and curly heads waiting in line for products. I stood my ground and watched in amazement. I had found -- KINKY HAIR HEAVEN! I spoke with Ray, one of the owners about my hair being so dry I was afraid the Houston sun was going to set it ablaze. We laughed a bit and he proceeded to tell me about Extra Butter. (Another funny name) His wife, Tonya, was actually using this angel sent cream on her client and invited me in for a look see. (I love her by the way!) She explained my texture and curl pattern which had been puzzling the heck out of me during this natural journey and explained that I needed to twist or braid my hair to get some curly/wavy texture to it. I thought going natural meant I could just wash it and go curly---nah, wash and go kinky is me. She tried a little Extra butter on my hair and I was sold--bought two, one for the sister. We both swear by the products. I can't believe this company is from my city! I have been telling everybody and now I am the angel that walks up to people in the grocery store. Get over to Uncle Funky's and get some of that funk!
