I LOOKED HIGH AND LOW TO SEE IF I CAN FIND ANY LAST BATCHES OF MISS COOL BUT WITH NO LUCK. I WANT TO USE SOMETHING FOR A DRY SET THAT WILL WORK WELL. I HAVE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT MISS COOL BUT SINCE IT IS DISCONTINUED my chances of finding it are slim. I am wondering if there is a product that can do the same thing that it does? I have never tried miss cool so i cant really compare anything but i would really like something. PLEASE HELP!!!

can they be used on dry hair? i think i actually have the cream wrap from lottobody? i will have to see if it says for dry hair. i'll have to look out for that hindu sheen. thanks.

God bless you all.
 
I tried the Lottabody Creme and it was too heavy. I love this stuff...but only on wet hair. I did a dry set with Elucence Moisture Balance conditioner and it turned out great. I also like Miss Cool and I was looking for something to replace it so I tried this.
 
i posted about the hindu sheen and someone said they had used it and it was cool. search for the thread ( i think it was called "hindu sheen 5 minute set"). they have one now that is not concentrated (you have to add water to the one in the picture). i found that when i was on the hunt for the miss cool.

i'm going to pick it up.
 
Like Sweetcocoa, Lottabody Creme Wrap works really well for me - on wet hair. I never tried it on dry hair. I suppose it could work but I'd imagine you want to dilute it first. I could see it leaving hair gummy if applied to dry hair.

I'm glad for the picture of the hindu sheen but now i have to search for this. i never saw it before but then again i wasnt looking for it so maybe thats why. is this a small tube or a jar like a cholesterol type deal. gosh i spent all yesterday all around nyc looking for miss cool and hoping some store will have some less over. someone even said they saw it at a love store at 72nd street and columbus and i went there and saw none and the guy who worked there didnt know what i was talking about. it didnt help that i didnt know what it looked like either.

I really want to use something for dry sets since i am all thumbs for wet sets and i have read the countless threads and instructions for it. also i currently dont have a working hooded dryer. anywho i hope to somehow find this hindu sheen because i have already mentally decided 3 months ago i wouldnt purchase elucence even though it was on my wish list for a year. God bless you all.
 
hey azull. the non-concentrated kind of hindu sheen is in a taller bottle. they had plenty of both kinds at the beauty supply that i went to. if you look this weekend and can't find it, i'll be happy to mail you one from the windy city. i need to get some cuz some mornings some of my rodded curls look weird.

awww thank you so much. I will try to find this because I can finally touch my hair after months of being in braids. I cant wait till I dont have to wear braids anymore. I mean its nice for a while but with all these product reviews and everything I just want to be able to really care for my hair. I will look out for this in the beauty supply store today. God bless you all.
 
Re Hindu Sheen. It also now comes in a jar. I have used it for years and never diluted any version of it, always use it straight from the bottle/jar. You can wake up, set your hair, shower, dress, and your hair should be fine. In Maryland most beauty supply shops carry it. I have never seen it at Sally's.

Did you find it?
 
AZUL - Re: SETTING LOTION LIKE MISS COOL??????

sadly no. i dont understand. maybe i am in the twilight zone or something but when i go to the same stores people recommend in nyc i never find it. i am wondering if i am just not looking hard enough. shoot and i do need something since my hooded dryer died on me a year ago and AGAIN i cannot find one here that is good quality. tell me what is going on?

i think i have to keep my eyes more open because i dont hear a lot of the ladies here from nyc having these problems but me.

Azul,

I'm wondering if they've just discontinued Miss Cool in your area. I went to the suppy store in my area (Indiana) and they just received a large supply of Miss Cool in a new larger bottle. If you want to try it, email me and I'll send you a bottle.
 
Re: AZUL - Re: SETTING LOTION LIKE MISS COOL??????

where in indiana do you live? i live in chicago and i go to indiana regularly for gas.
 
Re: AZUL - Re: SETTING LOTION LIKE MISS COOL??????

again i believe it is a conspiracy. i went to a site and it said discontinued and i havent found any other sites that have pictures of it. there was a site that had it but i think its free shipping if you buy 50 dollars worth of stuff. i think this is just a sign that my pjism is getting out of control. i'm going nuts over a product i never even tried and dont even know what it looks like.

Miss Cool has been discontinued by soft sheen. I've been looking for this product for 4 years. It's a lost cause.

I do recomend Hindu Sheen. It's my favorite. I use it with a little mouse for my twist outs.
 
Ladies, I'm a it lost. My mom has been buying miss cool for me fort the past several months without problem. Has it only been discontinued in certain areas? B/c nyc seemz to have a large supply of it.....

Please tell me where you buy it. I would love to get my hands on some. I called soft sheen about a 2 years ago and they told me that the product was discontinued. I've never been able to find it on line anywhere.

Sheldeez.com sells a product called 5-Minute Quick Set. The packaging looks different, but it's pink like Miss Cool. I ordered two!
 
Thanks Sassygirl! Aren't you one of the people who really liked the original? Please let us know how it compares. I might have to order some when the challenge is over.

Yes, I used the original Miss Cool 5-Minute Fast Set back inthe mid/late 1980's. Now everyone knows I'm an old geezer!

My hair isn't relaxed anymore, but I'm thinking it would perfect for braid-outs...

My aunt says Lottabody Straight Stuff and Ultra Sheen Creme Satin Press Lotion (not the grease) work for dry sets, too. I haven't tried this yet. I don't see how they could offer any hold...
 
I might have to give those a try too. I love dry sets because they keep my ends healthy and moisturized while making my hair look off the hook.
 
I got the product in the mail this morning. It's been decades since I used Miss Cool. I don't remember it smelling like the sheldeez product (faintly sweet like Kool-Aid or Jell-O...), but it sure looks and feels like it. My hair is already loaded with my usual products. I'm going to try a twist-out on a few sections tomorrow. I really hope this is the same stuff.
 
Sassygirl-

I think this is the stuff Mirrormirror got a few months ago. I couldn't get a list of ingredients from the sheldeez site but these are the ingredients in what Mirrormirror has.

Is this the list on your bottle and is it in this order?

ingredients:
water
glycerin
cetyl alcohol
proplene glycol
myristamidpropyl dimethlamine phosphate
sil amino acids
collagen
acetemide MEA
DMDM hydantoin
mink oil
fragrance
methylparaben

Here is the ingredient list for miss cool.
deionized water
stearalkonium chloride
stearamidopropyl dimethylamine
glycol stearate
ceteth-2
propylene glycol
potassium chloride
cetyl alcohol
citric acid
fragrance
methylpaben
simethicone
propylpararen
