pelohello...new fragrance?? I am so not hip lol

I like S curl but I find it makes my hair too moisturized and it ends up breaking. I'm natural by the way. How do you guys use it? Do you saturate or give yourself a light spray?

juicesnberries After I wash, DC/Treatment I part my hair in four sections & spray each section saturated the ends then I flattwist the sections, pin them in place & put my wig on. My hair doesn't suck in the moisture until like the third day of using it then I can go days without having to use it again and it stays so soft & moist...Love this my S-curl...

Yes girl.........Scurl was responsible for my kitchens maintaining length. I slatter that mug on and I'm good to go for a day or two. Whomever made Scurl was on point. That is one moisturizer that really DOES moisturize. I used to hate buying stuff that promised your hair would be oozing with moisture and only a few hours later ya hair was bone dry. Lots of money done went down the drain before discovering Scurl and WN.

I have started using it recently as I am in transition and it is wonderful.

Me! Me! I'm an S-Curl lover!! My mix is 80% S-Curl + 20% Jojoba Oil. I use it to spray my roots during a really long stretch. I also use it for moisturizing, and with the added jojoba oil, I got the sealing covered too!

S-Curl is wonderful stuff.

I used wave nuveau moisturizer when I had my afro, loved it!

You use the gel? I never liked the gel. Found it icky sticky. Love how light yet moisturizing the spray is. I don't seal. That would be messing with perfection. As long as I baggy nightly, I don't need to reapply until after wash day.

Scurl made my hair dry

 

[AXtremeTakeover]

I love scurl! I use it when my hair is in braids, when its out during sew ins... My hair just loves it all year long.

SuchaLady, how did you use it? What's the climate where you are or what was it like when you used it?

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

Just started using it. I like it And it plays well with my Ecostyler.

 

[AlwaysNatural]

Hm, I should look into purchasing this. My roots are always tangled regardless of what I do.

 

[SuchaLady]

It was on air dried hair. I'm in the south with lots of humidity so I thought it would be okay. My hair felt like hay. Nonie

:scratchch That is so weird. SuchaLady May I ask what you had done to your hair before application? Was it just washed? With what? If not, did you have another product on it? Do you have low porosity hair?

 

[SuchaLady]

Nonie I do not remember what leave in I used but it was freshly DCed hair. I more than likely conditioned with Kenra

[kandiekj100]

I really like it. I use it on my relaxed hair when I'm not wearing it straights (buns, braidouts, cornrowed under wigs) and I use it on my son's 4b fro. I use to moisturize his hair and his hair would be dry and hair only after a few hours. His hair stays soft the whole day now.

The only thing is his hair still does draw up and I don't know if there is something I could use with s-curl to prevent that.

I think you should give it another shot. I suggest using it alone. Apply to damp hair and let it dry. (It will feel hard and dry when the water moisture is gone. But now reapply to your dry hair to soften. If you have low porosity, you may have to baggy to get the full effect.

I don't know if you like oils. Maybe the new formula with something about being anti-frizz in the name will work better for you as it has oils in it?

The other thing I was thinking is, products like Creme of Nature shampoo leave a coating on your hair like sap that IMO leave you with hair that is hard to moisturize. I don't know much about Kenra. I have used it in the past but I never repurchased it and don't know why. I find a lot of products popular among WOC just feel like an outward coating with no internal moisture having been provided. I also hate creamy shampoos because I feel they coat hair and make conditioning difficult.

I wonder how your hair would feel if you shampooed with Giovanni 50:50 then conditioned with AO HSR...and then used S Curl first on damp hair, then on dry before baggying for the night? Maybe with the new S Curl?

I don't think you can stop shrinkage with S Curl. Water is a huge component of the product so...

I actually appreciate the shrinkage. Hair product getting all over my skin (neck, face, ears...) is something I cannot stand.

 

[kandiekj100]

Noni, but for a guy with a fro who hair is growing out and not down, and who wants to show off that growth, it kinda sucks. But like i said, great product otherwise.

I also use it on my 4 year old. Minus dad, we are a house full of s-curl users.

 

[LadyPBC]

Is that the product in the white & blue bottle? I used to use some of those items but I think I saw my hair shedding a lot. Would like to try it again - tell me...what could have been making my hair shed? Also - how are you using it (especially if you are fully naturally and type 4-ish)!

 

[SuchaLady]

You're gonna make me buy all those products Nonie. I will retry it because I still have the bottle. I may repurchase a new bottle. I will let you know Thank you

If he doesn't mind you braiding it at night, it can stretch it some. Baggying allows penetration and makes one application go a long way. When you take baggy off, let the hair dry a bit before undoing. Afro will be fluffier. Shrinkage is greatest when S Curl is applied to damp hair. Also there is no need to apply it daily. If hair is soft, it is moisturized. If you don't keep reapplying unnecessarily, I think you will get less shrinkage.

I love shrinkage coz it adds to the versatility of our hair. Perhaps for a change, you can apply something like coconut oil and braid hair to stretch. Don't know if you will get the same softness, but maybe baggying can help(?). Because there will be no water on hair, shrinkage should be less. Then you can let the afro's true colors shine. Making this a one-off event rather than an everyday thing IMO is more fun than it being an everyday look. I like the WOW factor of unleashing the magnificent once in a blue moon.

I feel the same about long relaxed hair. If I had it, it would be bunned all the time. Then one day, perhaps on a night out with the SO, I'd do a bun drop and let the waves cascade down my back framed by the low-back cut evening wear and let that be when I stop traffic. I love the idea of having a few tricks in your bag. Otherwise it gets so old and the day you want to impress or look like a million bucks, you end up looking blah coz it's your work or running errands look.

Why do you think shedding is a bad thing? If you aren't shedding up to 100 hairs on a daily basis, you are abnormal or your hair is not growing. Hair must shed if it is growing. I would be very upset if every time I undid a mini-twist, I didn't pull out at least 5+ hairs...and my twists are skinny!

Also, I comb my hair twice a day (AM and PM) when it's loose. I bet you don't. So of course your daily normal shed hair stays caught in your mane. So the day you apply slippery S Curl and slide fingers along your strands, the ton of old hair that you were stocking up finally comes out (Thank God!). So it looks like you are loosing more hair when really you are finally getting rid of nasty strands that had no business sticking around. All they do is cause tangles and just the idea that people go to lengths to keep them from coming out, makes me gag.

Yes, it is the blue and white bottle. I explain how *I* use it in this thread. Other people also chime in with suggestions so it's worth reading the whole thread: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=526649

SuchaLady, I was able to wash with whatever I pleased but had to baggy as Nonie mentioned to get full benefit of Scurl. I find baggying magnifies anything with glycerin for my low porosity hair.

divachyk, thanks for chiming in. I asked about porosity upthread coz I imagined if moisture could not penetrate the strands easily, the softness that comes from internal moisture would not be experienced. Also the drawing in of moisture that glycerin does would not be appreciated.

 

[SuchaLady]

divachyk Nonie I'm not sure of my porosity actually; Ive never checked. I will try again on naked hair and then again with the baggy method if that doesn't work. I tried the baggy method three years ago and ended up with a wet mess

SuchaLady, my low porosity hair loves baggy. I seriously baggy almost 5 of 7 days. I can actually baggy 7 of 7 without issues.

Nonie, sure thing. I was using Scurl as my daily moisturizer at one point but ditched it after getting hard hair. This was happening even when using it in optimum temps/dew point. Scurl works best (for me) when applied at night followed by a baggy.

Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1 is the TRUTH for some hair

Have read through these posts and was hoping this would work for me. I've seen dew points and humidity mentioned but I dont know what I should be looking for. Where I live at the moment the humidty is 81% and the dew point is -2 degrees. Is it okay to try it out?

Yes. I think you need to be living in a place like Arizona in the summer to not bother. You won't know if it works till you try it.

ETA: BTW, the image of my mom's hair that I posted before to show off the difference the S Curl made to her hair was taken in AZ in spring. So yeah, I take back saying not to bother if in AZ.
