SCURL IS FOR DRY HAIR!!! lol. You guys, I don't even know how I missed this point. When I started using Scurl more regularly by itself a few months ago, I used it on dry hair every few days before bunning, my hair was as soft as a cloud.
Somewhere along the line, my regimen changed and I started using it straight after washing, while I was actually still in the shower or on damp hair. It worked fine, still better than most things I've used, but my hair wasn't as soft. I blamed in on the winter weather.
We've been experiencing somewhat warmer weather here, but I didn't see any change in my beloved Scurl. So yesterday I decided to do some searching and trawled through posts on here from Scurl users. The people who liked it and found it to work as it should seemed to all use it on DRY HAIR.
I thought about it a little... To me, Scurl seems very water soluble. Whenever I get it on my hands, washing with water alone is enough to wash it away. Granted I always use soap after to make sure, but it's pretty much gone with a water only rinse. You can give it go. Pump a couple of times into your hands, spread it like you would hand lotion. Then rinse it off with water. Pretty much gone, eh? Another example, I had some Scurl stain one of my 100% silk tops and I thought it was ruined! It looked terrible and was just about to throw it in the bin. My mum just soaked in water, and BAM! It was back to normal, like the whole thing had never happened.
So with that in mind, I think when you put Scurl on wet/ damp hair, it dissolves into the water. And as that water evaporates like it would normally, the Scurl dissolved in it evaporates too. So really, the water you think you're sealing in is essentially fascilitating the evaporation of Scurl from your hair.
Anyway, I used Scurl on my dry hair yesterday and lo'and behold. Cloud-soft scurl hair again!!! I also baggied overnight as per Nonie so maintain the softness. I hope this helps those who've had problems with Scurl and encourage them to give it another try if you hadn't tried it on dry hair!
