She was quoting you and I replied. Apologies!Lol I know exactly what you mean. I had a similar experience with AVJ. It didn't do anything for my hair. The whole leave juice even made it hard.
No problem. I'm sure all the answers will be helpful.

For me clay defines my curls visibly and reduces the frizz. You might need to finger comb or shingle a bit with it on, in order to get it to define your curls.
I'm going to try again this wknd and use the shinglong method although I think that frizzes my hair. I'm going to-do half shingle half rake to figure it out. I'm new to this completely natural hair thing so still trying to get my method right.

Good luck dear! Plz keep us posted!
. The newer version didn't melt in my hair as easily and soak in, just a different product.
How did u use the fresh curl? Was it a leave in.I liked the Curl Maker when I was natural (transitioning now), I'd say I liked it most for my wet slicked back buns. It gave my hair sheen and made my waves pop. It's cool also for a twist out b/c it gives hold. The product that I absolutely adored from them was the Fresh Curl before she changed the formula. I've gone through bottles of that stuff before she changed it. I even emailed them
How did you use the curlaide? I also wanted to try the spritz but wanted some reviews on it first. I was using the APB refresher spray but I find it dries my hair out.
Really? Have you tried the spritzer? Do you know the difference between almond jai, curlaide and aloe whipped gel?
@DST1913
Oh I couldn't figure out what in the world curlaide was for. Thanks. I tried the butter same as curlmaker and got good results. here is a link to the spritzer
That's what I figured. I suck at twistouts so doubt I will ever use this again@DST1913
I was using it as a Butter. I really didn't see too much difference between that and the Jai'. I liked them both.
Oh ok. They need to manage their site better. It is not listen in Hair total which I flipped through.
Yes a few things arent listed. I went through each section that's how I stumbled on it.
You know you can use the products any way you wish. Results vary by hair type and Time of year.
Yes I know but to save my wallet I wanted to determine what each is normally used for to see why I may need it. For instance I already know I wasted money on the curlaide. No purpose for me since I also have almond jai and moisture milk
Just use it up! No waste!
Thank you! I will be eager to read your review on the Creme Restore and the Algae Renew.
I do not use the Caramel Cowash as an actual cowash because I find it a bit stripping. I am more into using it as a leave-in or a curl-defining agent. But then my hair is naturally dry and very sensitive to anything stripping. I rarely shampoo. I use Herbal Essences Bee Strong conditioner as my main washing agent and my hair loves it. I even oil rinse before using it so you can imagine what my hair is like
MAD curls said great things about it in this video
As @Coilystep has said SOTC is scrunching out the crunch. This means compressing your hair with your hands to break the gel cast. Classically it's done vertically from below to above like the motion you do when you want to apply the Squish to Condish technique or when you are pixie diffusing. But I find that this makes my curls frizzy so I either compress it horizontally or twist a big chuck of hair around its axis.
It breaks the gel cast, makes the hair soft to the touch and bouncy and gives it more volume.
Here is a photo of my hair with dry gel cast on it, which typically makes the hair stringy and hard:

These photos were before I started transitioning from texlaxed, big chopped a part of my hair and lost most of the rest to hair thinning and breakage
I used it as a moisturizer and a leave in. I LOVED the original formula, like LOVED it. It was light but yet so moisturizing in a non greasy way. I haven't found a product quite like that. It used to melt into my curls and detangle w/o that buttery heavy feel of build up.
No balls and it melted in. I put a little bit of each in my hands and rubbed them together then takes through my hair.
This is such a great review! Thank you very much!
The slip is mediocre. While it didn't tangle my hair it didn't really detangle it either. Just the other gives quicker slip. Maybe if I let it sit it would have been better. I found as I worked it through it was better. The tressamme is instant slip. Definitely didn't feel like it was stripping. Who makes the caramel cowash? Was that mane choice?
No it's another CRN product. I reviewed it in my first post. Honestly it's not that stripping. But my hair is naturally dry so it's like it does not want to let go of any of its oils to any cleanser lol.
Do you have a link to it? I dont see it on the site.
So got the caramel cowash and hated it. I used it and ended up using the creme restore after. The caramel one did nothing. It didn't detangle it didn't soften it actually felt dry after I washed it so that's why I use the other one right after. I won't be using it again.
