Does anyone use Surge 14 as a detangler?

[kristina]

I just got this stuff for the first time (yes, I'm such a PJ, you know it's bad when you want stuff before you get the stuff you already bought) and the directions claim that it can be used as a detangler and to mend/prevent splits. But my concern is that it has protein in it and I'm trying to limit my protein. Anyone (naturals preferably) using this all over the hair as well as the scalp?

I sometimes use it as a detangler but mainly on my scalp. I use Motions Nourish as a detangler. But Surge 14 is a really good detangler!

I use it as a detangler only.

I started taking out some of the ties at the end of my zillions. The Surge 14 works well for helping me loosen up and detangle the some (not all) of the ties. I'm sure it will work wonders on detangling my hair when I'm out of braids, just haven't tried it yet. I would definitely follow it up with pretty of moisture.

Oh boy, not to rain the parade but I didn't find it to be a good detangler at all!

But, if it's any consolation, I've not found a leave in yet that I've been 100% pleased with when it comes to detangling...

It's definitely a staple in my regimen but I just don't use it for that.

Thanks ladies....so no one have any problem with the protein drying out their hair? I have heard that excess protein makes the hair brittle.

It doesnt work for me as a detangler either.

I use Surge on my hair and scalp twice a day it detangles my hair well.
I follow up with Sta So Fro or Barry Fletcher hair oil to keep my hair moisturized.

In most of the posts that I've read on the Surge (probably ALL of them), the ladies use(d) the Surge inconjunction with some type of oil or moisturizer for purposes of avoiding the scalp irritation problem that plagued some.

That would make it hard to gauge whether it's drying or not based on user response.

I've never used it 'straight' for longer than a day at a time so I can't say but it is fo-sho that excess protein will 'jack yo hair up!'.

I've tried using it as a detangler but it didn't do as good a job as my just for me detangler did...

I usually just apply surge 14 to my scalp and follow up with s-curl moisturizer, doesn't dry my hair out. Sometimes I'll spray the surge on my ends before doing a baggie tech.
