Do You Remember Surge 14 Hair Revitalizer?????

So I broke my rib a few weeks ago, but only had it confirmed today and I have fallen off lately. Took my hair out last weekend and told myself I was going to do my hair....lies.

I have my appointment to get the DE STS treatment on thursday, broken ribs and all, so Ill be straight for a while. Question. Any straight haired people use the cream without reversion? How?
Ouch! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

The cream works fine on straightened hair or stretched hair. I use it on the length not scalp because of itches and buildup and still getting the extra growth. I do it before bed and braid it up.
 
@vanray,
I know you are going to heal well! And...what I want to know is will you be bringing your camera to your DE STS appointment so the person who does your hair can easily take that picture of your hair result for you to upload and share with us here? Side views, back of the head and cropped out face photos are fine for me. I want to see that HAIR!
That's the plan. Haven't had my hair straightened in years so I'm interested too.
 
IMG_6344.JPG Those thicker baby hairs on my hairline have gotten so thick, they are now forming whole curls. I know it's not breakage or filling in of a sparse hairline because my forehead is large. I noticed them today when I wore my head wrap and was able to form these little, giant curls and allow them to peak out of the wrap. I've never had these before. I would attribute them to Surge/Hair Revitilizer.

Love this @Chicoro. Your bantus are so juicy. You make me want to wear this style outside but I feel bald lol.

Thank you, @AbsyBlvd!
Girl, wear your hair how you want! Forget about other people. They will talk about you no matter what. I've been asked if and told that I do have a receding hairline. I don't. I have a huge, broad forehead with a very jagged hairline!

There is nothing more attractive than a person who genuinely feels confident about themselves. You are far more critical of yourself than others will ever be!

I completely ran out of the Voodoo gel, Xtreme gel, so today I put on some water and then slathered on Eco styler. Then covered and set with a plastic baggy cap and a satin scarf. It left a nice shine.

You are not seeing things! That's exactly howmy hairline started back when I was using surge. I'm so happy you're getting to experience it too. :-)
 
A few of the hairs along my forehead perimeter were an inch or so long. It's not very noticeable unless you're styling my hair and I think the friction happened from the bonnets and wig clips. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that they look longer, like 2 or 3 inches longer. I attribute that to spray too.

Haven't been here in awhile. Is anyone getting great results from the cream or just the spray? The spray works for me, but I'm curious about the cream.
 
I was referencing the mousse. It's expensive to get here, but there are ways around that. A few people here have applied it themselves.

It can make straightening easier or just enhance elongation and definition to increase manageability so that's what I'm interested in it for.
I've had the DE STS for a few yrs now and I love it!

Congratulations!
So, in general we Black women age like vampires. And with this Revitilizer were getting furry like werewolves. But seriously- keep going! You are getting results really quickly. I remember when you started using it this year. Good for you.

@belleama,
How long did your curls last? Did they remain after you stopped using Surge? Do they continue to fatter and multiply as your Surge use continues? I love my little curls that have developed on my hairline!

I would love growth like that !!
See, my post office playing. My package "arrived" the 25th and I have yet to see it. I'm ready to fight someone. I have missed out on 5 days of growth :angry2:

You'll be okay! Patience is key. You are just getting a little practice in patience before your product arrives! Let us know when you get your Revitilizer.

Yes, to both questions. Even though I stopped using surge in 2007/8 my "new" hairline remained. Granted it did start getting thinner again but overall it's still where surge left me those years ago. I think the thinning came because I wasn't as diligent with my relaxers and overall hair care. But again, it was not noticeable. 2007/8 - 2017 is just about 10 years. So I can say that it continues growing in any area that surge sprouted hair.

The hairs also keep their thickness as well. It continues to get thick like the rest of your hair even after you stop using it.

Let me know if you have any other questions. :-)

Wow! That is good to know. I will keep on spraying! Than you for all the wonderful, detailed information.
 
So I had the treatment and had a trim and a press.

I'm in love. My hair has never been that easy to blow out and it has never seen soft after one either.

Here's one pic after the curls fell a bit and I brushed them loose. I look like Betty Draper but I like it so far.

I'll need y'all help because I really don't know what to do with this hair now. Like how do I wrap it up for bed and stuff.

More pics to come.

@vanray,
You've got a thick, full, beautiful hairline!

Who is Betty Draper? Your ends are full and thick. You've only got one mobile arm, so it might be hard to wrap your hair around your head. Grapeseed oil tends to be very light, natural and does not grease up or weigh down heat straightened hair. I would suggest that you dab a little oil [something that will not allow your hair to revert] on the last 2 to 3 inches of your ends , and pull your hair back in a pony tail, tuck those ends away from the air then cover your head.

Maybe some of the other ladies may have some better suggestions for you!

Thanks for posting and sharing your photo. I am drooling at the thought of more hair pictures. I am a fiend for fotos! Now, you have an excellent baseline photo to which you can compare your Revitilizer results at the end of the year.

My ends are only full because this is post trim. Lol. I'm glad my hairline is full because when I was wearing it curly it was starting to look a little sparse. Thank you.

Betty Draper is the wife and character on this show Called Mad Men about people in the early 60s.

De sts.. is that the design essentials smoothing system? Is this like a relaxer?
Yes, that's the Design Essential Smoothing system. It's an amino acid based treatment. My hair still has curl texture when I wet it, but the curl pattern is a bit straighter and smoother. This systems seems to strengthen my hair just enough that it isn't fragile and breaks off. It also keeps my hair from reverting, which is the big plus. I'm able to retain length with the DE System
 
:lachen:

By the time you're done with Xcel-21, you'll be serving like Verdine White.

OK, something else I've noticed is that my hair is much thicker now than say it was when I began using Xcel. I dunno if it's just the Xcel (spray and cream) or if it's those products plus the new hair vitamins I added 3 weeks ago (Sports Research biotin and Hairfluence hair vitamins). I noticed the thickness a week or so ago and today I noticed the added growth. I also upped my water intake (a gallon a day though I fell off a couple of days), detoxed (always wanted to try) and went back to vegan diet. I also put my vitamix to work by adding Garden of Life protein and Green Vibrance to my veggie (spinach/kale) and fruit (avocados, strawberries, mangos, bananas, pineapple) smoothies.

I really want to start working out. I have a gym membership I need to use. I think that will help speed things up too with my growth.
