bumping bc i like this thread, and us 4b ladies are getting some good advice, so far i have concluded that i need s-curl in my life. Thanks for the replies, any other advice is welcome.
I am a definite 4 b, and s-curl has not really worked for me. It seemed too thin and didn't give me the softness I needed. What has? Soft and Beautiful Botanical Lite Cream Moisturizer w/plant extracts. It's actually more like a gel texture than a cream. I'm telling you all, this stuff is great. I use it on my new growth only, at about 3 weeks post when I can feel it, and it really keeps it soft and manageable. I massage it in morning and night and just love it!!! Does anyone else use this? I don't see it mentioned often, but I'm telling you it's da bomb.
My miracle worker is Silk Elements Megasilk Conditioning Treatment for 15-20 minutes with or without dryer. It detangles my new growth and lays it down FLAT! It was so flat that three of my girlfriends asked me if I had gotten a relaxer the first time I used it! I comb my relaxed hair before I get in the shower and comb my newgrowth with the Silk Elements in my hair VERY CAREFULLY!
