S-curl Alternatives?

[julzinha]

Hey Ladies,

As many of you know S-Curl changed their formula and I've been trying to find a quality replacement. Not only in moisturizing capabilities but in price.

I have tried Taliah Waajid Protective Bodifier Mist, it was okay, but it builds up on my hair quickly.

I just bought Lustrasilk Curl Max Activator and will be giving that a try soon.

Any suggestions???

Try Leisure Curl or Carefree Curl...tho the Lustrasilk one you already bought might do the job. I AM surprised that SCurl changed their formulation tho.

I like the cantu curl activator. It's a cream but it defines and moisturizes really well.

Sof n Free 2 in 1 Curl Activator otherwise known as My future baby daddy. I love this stuff.

StaSoFro has a similar spray in a brown bottle that works well in the summer months & I agree with @gorgeoushair, straight glycerin & water will do the trick; add a few squirts of castor oil for additional moisture & softness.

Sta sof fro smells like 1973. Go with the glycerin, water, and castor oil. I'm still mad at scurl for changing their formula. It was the only product I have ever used that instantly stopped my breakage.

Glycerine and water

How much glycerine and water?
Thanks!

 

[gorgeoushair]

You can start with 1 part glycerin to 3 parts water. If too sticky add more water. Keep adding until you find a level you like. You can also add some oils.

Yep, I was coming in here to say 14n1. There are lots of old threads about it, it was amazing.

I took at my braids on Sunday and have used Lustrasilk Curl Activator and it is a HUGE HIT!! I did the Kimmaytube Leave In recipe with it and added a dash of Taliah Waajid Protective Bodifier Mist and my hair hasn't been this soft in a while. The best part was that it wasn't greasy, sticky, and NO build up.

HUGE THANK YOU to @Leesh for recommending the product. I truly felt like I was out of options.
