I've used both S curl and care free curl and I prefer S curl. It makes and keeps my hair moisturized all day. My hair hates care free curl cuz it I too watery and light. My hair prefers heavier products.

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 am going to give this a try b/c I am not really liking the 14 in 1 miracle worker by Hawaiian silky(it is leaving alot of building on my hair).
 
I use Carefree Curl. I tried the Gold, but it didn't work:nono:as well for me as the other one did. I use it after I con' poo/oil rinses which is at least 4 times a week. I am transitioning and it is the only thing that will keep my new growth moisturized. I also put it on in the morning before I put my hair in my protective pony.
 
I've tried both types since people rave about them. Honestly for my hair they didn't do anything except leave a funny, kinda "hard or dry" feeling on my hair. I don't know :perplexed I just chalked it up to being one of those things that doesn't work for me.

I use care free curl gold. And I do it exactly as Missi ^^^^ (see bold underlined above). I love that stuff. I get the results shown in my siggy.
 
I use S Curl, when wearing my hair out, as a moisturizer. I apply on wash day to damp hair before combing out my 'fro puff, and then again at night to dry hair as my hair does feel less moisturized by the time the water in it is completely dry. I then put my hair in square plaits and wear a plastic cap for the night. In the morning, my hair combs with ease and the pen spiral coils pop. Hair remains moisturized and I usually don't need to apply anymore till wash day. I use the spray as it doesn't get icky sticky like the gel. Also the spray keeps my hair moist without my having to worry about leaving afro prints on anything I lean on. My hair not only looks soft but really feels soft without being "greasy".
 
My daughter called me from college last month to let me know that she had found a great moisturizer. When I asked what it was she said, Carefree Curl Gold - I was surprised at first as I remember it from back in the jheri curl days but then realized that it made sense for her type hair and the way she uses it (type 3a/b - texlaxed twice yearly and applied to damp hair). She would never use it on her flat ironed hair.
 
S Curl is my staple!!! I could not use the Care Free Curl one because it wasn't feeding my hair that moisture it craved LOL So when I do a wash n go, I spray with S Curl and I'm set. Or I just might pick it out some, and go.
 
I use S-curl only
I use it daily
My hair is 4a natural and if I don't use s-curl
it becomes really dry, and impossible to work with. I also use it at night when I baggie my hair.
I have recently added a little pepperment rosemary, and carrot oil into the mix
 
After trying them both, I prefer Care Free Curl as a moisturizer to Scurl. I always seal them in with castor oil and rollerset. My CFC sets come out much more moisturized than the Scurl sets.
 
Is it true that S curl has some form of protien in it. I read today on another hair board that it has protien in it. I didnt tink it did so I checked the bottle and I didn't see any form of protien listed in the ingrediants but than agian i dont really know much about protien anyway so I thought I'd ask you all.
 
Do you think it 's safe to use s-curl on cornrow braids? I noticed that the product is kinda thick, Do you think using the s-curl could cause major build up in the course of 4-5weeks?
 
I use Sta-Sof-Fro. I have 3b hair... so it needs something less oily and more water-based.

After shampooing and conditioning (daily), I spray my hair liberally with Sta-Sof-Fro, squeeze out the excess, and seal with Olive and Castor Oil.
 
I use S-Curl in the blue and white bottle. I am about 10 weeks post and I have some serious ng. I thought that I might not be able to continue with my stretch this time. I went out and bought the S-Curl, applied some and put my hair up in a clip and the ng was immediately softer and more manageable so yeah it works really well for me. I can go another 4 or so weeks without retouching now I think.
 
Yep. I had the same experience.

Same experience :yep: I just made a thread about this yesterday. S-curl is amazing. I might try CFC though when this runs out.
 
scurl is the bomb. the only reason i stopped using it was because of the price. ive tried WN,CFC and SSF and scurl wins. WN dries out my hair(i got two big bottles full) cfc is too watery to moisturize my strands and ssf smells horrible. Im back on the scurl train:yep:
 
Nope, too much glycerine for me. Products with too much glycerine makes my hair hot sticky mess. Now, I just buy the glycerine and dilute it to fit my hair needs :yep:

Diddo^^^^ I Love S-curl, I always keep it handy, I tried to make a homemade glycerin spray and it just didn't work, But I love the one in The Blue & Gray Bottle and I also Love Designer Touch Texturizing Spray I keep both of these!!
 
I used Care Free Curl Gold for a long time. It was only good until I reached APL, and seemed that It didn't work as well anymore. Once I really simplified my reg, I found I just didn't need it anyway.

I love care free curl moisturizers:

currently I am using care free curl gold. I didn't like the s-curl (blue gel) on my new growth when I was relaxed and stretching... but I may try it again as a natural ! but until then, care free curl suits my hair just fine!
 
care free curl. . . like everyday. . . on the new growth, whenever I moisturize. it's not the only thing I use tho.
 
For those using it on their new growth are you...

1. using it on dry hair daily?
2. parting the hair in small sections and spraying to avoid getting the ends damp?
3. and how are you keeping the roots as straight as possible once you have sprayed?
 
I have used both in my daily spritz concoction.

I use the one called Hawaiian Silky also.

Whatever is under my counter I will add to my mix for the week. :yep:

Em, :look:...please excuse my ignorance but are we talking about the SCurl NO DRIP Activator Moisturizer :look: ?

I use Care Free Curl at the moment, and it's quite good for my new growth, but a bit too watery.

I'm transitioning and I'm still looking for a good moisturiser for my 4a hair.

Yep, that's the one.:yep: I love it. I use this instead of braid spray (braid spray is too sticky and doesn't give me the moisture I need). I also like to use "Worlds of Curls" moisturizer-blue bottle for my braids. I tried Carefree Curl Gold but I think I like S-Curl and WOC better.

Napp, why do you have my ex-hubby in your avatar?
