Stop frontin, you know me!
This is what I use on a daily (product posted in my album), and you can balance the oil with aloe gel or hair gel. Not much is needed, so your hair does not have to be greasy.
....and if by chance I am greasy........
Your hair is beautiful as well. Question, how often are you using the juice?

I bought the Care Free Curl Gold today. Washed with my WEN, then used it, and placed in bun. Just took down my bun to reposition, and apply more. This is not the greasy juice I thought. It has a gelish consistancy. With no after product feel on hands. I think this may become my staple with my castor oil mixture on scalp. Simple. 4 products in my regimen. I 
it.
it.

i didnt like the care free gold. it was ok hella diluted but it left me with build up.
i however do like the care free in the yellow spray bottle. my hair seems to cooperate with it but it takes forever and a day to air dry DOWN so up i dont think it would ever dry lol
i havent used it though since i started using HE LTR leave in.
has anyone used this stuff along with a leave in like LTR or is everyone using it by its self.

I have been using the Care Free Gold for awhile and just realized there are 2 different formulas. The formula I have I can't find the ingredients for it anywhere on the internet. Has anyone else noticed this? The ingredients in the one that I have seem better. I have not experienced any dryness at all. The one that I don't use has the urea and Stearalkonium Chloride in it.

I think I am gonna stick with the S Curl one more month. So how it does in April with the warmer weather.

No not yet, but I do like the idea of mixing it with HE LTR, especially because of the yummy raspberry smell.
I'll pick up a bottle of CFG this weekend and try this combination.

Is this the hair and scalp spray? I purchased a small bottle of this to spray my kinky twists with.

i think its just for your hair... let me look at the bottle
*runs to bathroom*
the direction doesnt say nothing about scalp

BY THE WAY!!!!
i tried the activator with HE LTR. my hair is still drying but i seem to have some real nice curl definition. my hair is taking FOREVER to dry though
also, i think it may be too much product. see i like shrinkage because shrinkage=big hair. my curls seem to be more stretched than i like. though i would have liked this in high school when i wanted stretched curls and got a fro instead lmao

I purchased my Long Aid for extra dry hair when I left the board the other day. Here is my pic with it in my hair today:
This is the Long Aid activator gel in my hair. Its only been 2 days since I applied it after a fresh shampoo, I need to give it a few more days and it will look more hydrated.

Hmm...I can definitely see the truth in this. If you think about all the jheri curl heads back in the day, they all had some LONG hair.
Kind of makes me wonder where the "black women can't grow long hair" thing started.

I love the juice (S-curl) I've used it since my stretching and transitioning days so I've been using it for a longggg time *lol*, it's one of my main moisturizers.

I just read a lot of the back posts, and I'm glad to see a solution to the stickyness. I stopped using it for that reason...my hair felt sticky and greasy, and turned into a lint magnet. Didn't even feel moisturized. I'll try the water mix.

Day 2 and I must admit my ends feel really good and like silk. This evening I had to have my hair blown out by my Dominican hair stylist...But MONDAY is S-CURL day again!

Shoot. I bought some CFC Gold. It was lotion. I co-washed, but there was already a bunch of crap in my hair. And then I added that stuff. Bleh. I had that
same gooey feeling on my hands and on my hair from way back when I had a CFC.
I shamppoed and washed it out. It might do better without the co-wash on top of all the other crap in my hair. Or maybe I should have found the spray and not the lotion?

Ah... you are not supposed to use the lotion straight? That might make a difference.

so i was wrong... its not too heavy or too much product. once my hair FINALLY dried i just turned my head over, shook my hair out a bit and then flipped back and i was good to go!
here are the results. please excuse the dirty mirror... i'll be taking care of that tomorrow lol
again, these results are from cfc in the yellow spray bottle with HE LTR on top, sealed with evoo

I couldn't tell you, I didn't even know there was a lotion, I believe most of us are using the spray or the gel. Hopefully some of the other ladies will chime in.

That is some gorgeous hair you have. I love it.
I am going to try this with my hair. 
Do you think the oil part is necessary? I'll try it and see. I will use something light. Thanks for posting.
