Do you use them? If so, which do you use? How do you use them within your regimen? Please explain why you use them. I noticed that more than just a few people use them and I wanted to know how to possibly incorporate them into my regimen. I'm just not sure of when to use them. Thanks for answering =)

I used to use scurl for moisturising my hair (I'm using now my homemade moist) and I know that a lot ladies here:natural or relaxed use it as a daily moisturizer:yep:
 
I use both S Curl and Care Free Curl Gold.

I'm natural and I wear twists. I use it before I twist my hair at night.
 
I've only used S Curl and I use it when my hair is feeling dry or if I need to detangle/put in a puff my dry hair.
 
These are great for softening new growth and keeping it soft. I use carefree curl gold mist when I wear my hair down. And I use the heavier gel consistency one when I pull my hair back. I switch products from time to time but, this is my one and only staple.
 
I mainly use S-Curl--which I swear by--but when I need something a little watery, I use Sta-Sof-Fro.
 
I have tried them and they were MESS on my hair, let alone smelling like jherri curl juice.

I wear my hair straight and down everyday and these just weren't good for me, at all. I think I would use them if I was doing a braidout or had some human hair braids - I would not with synthetic braids. Other than that they get 1 star and 2 thumbs down from me!

Dido: if i have lots of new growth and i air-dry: i'll apply it to my wet hair: damp hair: then dry hair: my hair is completely soft: as for s-curl: i hate it.
 
S-curl softens my new growth... I use it when airdrying or whenever my hair feels dry.
 
I Love, Love, LOVE S Curl! I usually use it when I'm sporting my wash n' go. It's great as a daily moisturizer when stretching also. AND when I'm wearing a braidout/pinup, it makes my hair very wavy. I love it. :grin: Can you tell?
 
I think I read that the main ingredient in there is glycerine - along with a whole lotta other stuff I can't pronounce - so I just mix up some glycerine and aloe vera juice and we're good to go! I've started looking for the "key" ingredients in products and then going out and buying them all myself at the health food store. So far so good and no fillers!:yep:
 
I use the activator gel and mix it with aloe vera gel/shea butter/very little castor and jojoba oil. It is a great twist mix for my hair. I use the same mix to moisturize the twists at night or the next day.
 
I use the S curl on my kinky twist when I baggy at night. I also like to use it when I am airdrying my hair. It makes my hair feel like cotton.

That's exactly what I plan on doing. Does anyone know if there is a thread taht talks about making a glycerine moisturizer?
 
Love S-curl! Care Free is okay. ;) S-curl is like a wearable treatment for my hair. It is a must for airdrying. I just wish their wd a way that I could use S-curl when I rollerset or after I rollerset. Any ideas?

I love your hair. :)

I use glycerin also. I still use S Curl and Carefree Curl because it's not as thick as glycerin. I might try mixing it with aloe vera juice. :)
 
Oh yes! I just started using s-curl about 2 weeks ago after reading about how good it is for new growth when stretching. I use it once or twice a day on my new growth and also on my ends and I seal the ends with shea butter. I don't like the jheri curl smell so I dilute it with water and use it in another spray bottle. I find that this helps with the smell. I also try to use as little as possible because a little goes a long way even when it's diluted. Also when I wash (either my regular weekly wash or when I co-wash) I use it the same way. If I decide to rollerset I even mix a little in with the water I spray my hair with. I must say it's doing wonders in such a short period of time! Before my new growth was dry and a big tumbleweed mess (i wish i was joking!) but now i have little, tight curls that are moisturized and makes my first time stretch to 10 weeks a lot easier!

I used S Curl but it made my hair shed something terrible. When I need extra moisture I use plain ole glycerin before applying my cream moisturizer and sealing.

ONLY type of moisturizers that work for me

I use them because they make my hair feel like silk

I use carefree or wavenouve which smells best imo

I use them when airdrying, bunning, braidouts, bantu sets, twistouts, braids.....never straight hair or hair that i need heat to achive the style.
