I have...but I noticed that AV gel is an ingredient...so I'm thinking that might be a culprit with this michigan winter.

awesome. thanks. i have 3 bottles and i just call it the new surge lol
Usually in cornrows and maybe yarn twists or another PS.I also have fine hair...Here is another suggestion that you might have already tried. But if not...Are you only spraying your scalp area. I noticed that when I concentrate the spray on the scalp and lightly message it in (allowing whatever small amount to travel down the hair shaft) and follow up with oil prior to baggying my hair is very moisturize in the morning.
When I was spraying my ends with xcel21 prior to oiling & baggying...I felt like my hair was coated and stiff. Still not necessarily dry but something was off.
During the winter months how do you normally style your hair?
Those that are experiencing dryness, do you follow up the spray with oil...or do you just use the spray with no chaser? I'm asking because I always follow up with oil, and have not had any dryness. But, I also baggie nightly.
NW on scalp only and scalp massage it in. Moisturizer on length. Seal with a butter. ETA: I know baggying is awesome and increases moisture but I rather NW21 work without having to do that.
You can spray it on the ends of your hair, too.I found this thread yesterday & read through majority of the posts on this thread.
Does anybody use it on the length of their hair? I see the bottle says it stops split ends. How can it stop split ends when only applied to scalp?
Regardless I'm buying 2 bottles.

1 bottle lasts me 2-3 weeks. I spray once a day, but I'm a bit heavy handed too.How long is a bottle lasting? Mine last 2 weeks, spraying twice a day. I may be heavy handed cause I have crochet.
I'm not stressing to spray twice a day anymore. If I'm tired or in a hurry, I only spray my trouble spots.1 bottle lasts me 2-3 weeks. I spray once a day, but I'm a bit heavy handed too.
Long term, I'm not sure. I don't do it often, but I never experienced any dryness.Will it cause dryness?
Yes it dries me out. I have super fine 4c natural hair. I spray the scalp only and let the runoff do what it do to the length.
I think part of that dryness is the buildup it causes. I've found a mid week co-cleanse solves it well enough. Also I spray with the liquid detangler for conditioner, SM Kids Detangler and oil seal.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I swore I saw glycerin in the ingredients list. That is extremely drying especially in dry winter months since there's so little ambient moisture to pull from.

1 bottles lasts me about 6 - 8 weeks. I apply the liquid only once per day. I also transferred mine to an applicator bottle with nozzle. Maybe I use less because of the bottle but I do apply all over my head.
