I once thought that Pam Grier had the baddest fro I had ever seen, but baby you got her beat!
“Just let you soulll Glow!” I love this style though, I’m soo going to try this.
I.used S-Curl as my leave-in, then Carefree Curl Activator Gold. The pair keeps my hair hydrated all winter long.
S Curl activator is great when you live somewhere humid or or if you use a humidifier in your home. The glycerin in the spray is a great humectant. I’m considering using this over the summer since I live in the US South and the humidity is HIGH!
So will it protect against shrinkage or does it bring more moisture to your hair?
@@sable7114 humectants attract water, so it would amplify shrinkage (more moisture = more shrinkage).
@@southernrosetiadee it depends on your hair. The more moisturized my hair, the more it elongates. I have 4a hair.
@@apara2005 humectants are not used in preserving elongated hairstyles. This is why people who have heat or tension straightened hair are encouraged to keep their hair as dry as possible between shampoos. The action you’re speaking of is the same with all hair, until the moisture begins to evaporate, which is what happens with humectants. They attract water then, when they’ve absorbed as much water as possible, the evaporation and shrinkage follow. It’s not the initial attraction of moisture that creates shrinkage but the unavoidable evaporation that follows it.
@@southernrosetiadeethat’s the same as saying that wetting your hair will make it shrink which is not the case.. everyone’s curls loosen when wet, the texture of the hair tightens when the water dries and evaporates just like you said how it happens when the hair dries but not while it’s moisturized. It’s different for someone who has straightened hair then wetting it would get the curls to come back but doesn’t mean it would shrink it
This is my go-to moisturizer when my wear in protective styles, and it makes my hair super soft when I use it as a leave-in on wash day.
I JUST bought this bottle yesterday. It’s very moisturizing!!!
FYI, if you mix Amla powder into your deep conditioner, you'll see your curls pop like crazy after rinsing!! Maybe a video idea...😉
I love this as a hair Spritz! Iit’s full of glycerine, it works well where I live with a 70% humidity in the air🙏🏾❤️ … wouldn’t advise it for a braid out since it just asorbs a lot of water and will probably make the braid out poof up in no time❤️❤️🥰🥰
The leave in activator you used is supposed to be be used in the shower on soaking wet hair and then you apply the blue gel after you get out of the shower. Then diffuse or air dry. I also think if instead you use Kinky Kurky Come Clean shampoo, then Uncle Funky’s Rich & Funky conditioner for detangling it would turn out differently. Then use the Uncle Funky’s Curly Magic on soaking wet hair in the shower. After your shower apply Mousse Def by The Doux while your hair is still soaking wet. Then diffuse your hair. I hope this helps. Your hair is beautiful 🙏🏽❤️🖤
Well it helped me lol thanks
@@dawrightleo13 So glad to hear it!!🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰
Your hair just gets better and better every video!!
I know people who used curl activator on their natural curls even back in the day. I don’t get why people would think curl activator is only for curly perms when they are widely sold although curly perms are no longer that common. I personally prefer activator gel but only certain times of year because it’s so high in glycerin. I used Smooth and Shine activator gel for years on my natural hair and loved it.I think they changed their formula because it stopped working as well for me.
OMG girl!!! Hair goals for real 😧 😭
Very pretty can’t wait for the braid out 😄
I love the end result! So pretty 😻
Soul Glo from Coming To America! I've seen it moisturize pretty well on unstretched hair on some family members. Works great in humid areas like the Deep South.
I never used a curl didn't know what it was, but if it give moisture I'm here for that. You're hair looks healthy
Great video I honestly didn’t know this product existed. Thank you for the info!
Your hair is very very pretty! That fullness is everything 😍. I used the S Curl in high school when I was experimenting with my curly hair and I must say it worked pretty well! Question 🙋🏾♀️ what is your nighttime routine with your hair?
I love it! I’m the only one in my family who never got a curl. Men with naturals back in the day used to use S-curl all the time on the ‘fros. I always wondered how they got that glisten!
You might consider Innersense gels and Trepadora curl system. I know you say you don’t like gels because they flake, but these products don’t flake at all and define well. This S curl activator didn’t really do anything.
Your hair is so beautiful
You have all 4s and I see a little bit of 3c
I mean God took his time when creating your hair
This reminded me of my best friend and I back in high school doing each other hair with S curl
I think it is your hair porosity that affects the way these products are working. In this video, I can see that the water and products is sitting on top of your hair strands so you probably have low porosity hair. A heating cap for your hair would possibly help with absorption especially during the conditioning process.
Yes its Old School 😀 but I use S Curl now and then too cause it gives great moisture 👍🏾.
Btw….Your hair is gorgeous ♥️🙂 .
Your hair is gorgeous 🥰😍
I died every time you lifted your hair so you could see/we could see your eyes. Curlies can relate.
Just went natural again a few months ago. Last relaxer was probably at least a year ago. Had trouble maintaining due to health issues, so my hair matted. I put it up in braids and washing it made it mat more. Worried I wouldn’t be able to maintain natural hair, but when I cut off the matted hair, the new growth was clean and not matted. I had 6” on one side and 10” on the other. It’s been surprisingly easy to detangle. I watched natural wash day videos and couldn’t imagine a comb going through my natural hair that easily.
I had no idea it would coil and clump so beautifully (I’m mixed and have every texture from 1 to 4z, the straight ones tangle the coils, didn’t think I had enough of any one curl type to clump). Im so happy with how easy it’s been to style and refresh daily. I have one rough patch in the middle of the back that I haven’t been able to get definition in when dry. I just keep trying different products there, including this same S-Curl. I look forward to your next wash day video.
If you wanted definition, add the product to soaking wet hair. No twist out needed
I love your beautiful curly hair routine 💙💙💙❤️❤️💙💙❤️💙❤️
Kinky Curly Knot today. Trust me, you’ll make a whole lot of videos on how much you love it. They sell it in target
it runs out so fast and its not very cheap lol
S Curl ws my mom's favorite hair product; she used it on her natural hair for years too after she stopped getting jeri curls. I'm gonna have to try this in combination with the Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk. I have a feeling that will be a good pair. TFS!
Can you let us know how that work for you? I love her curl milk!
I never though to use that again. Next time I go to the beauty supply store I’m going to pick some up.I have a big smile on my face … who would of thought???
When I went natural this was my thing! 😁
Yes Soul-Glo!!! Kids can be so mean but bag head 🤣 Booooo😹
It came out good an soft. It didn't look dull. i'm interested in the braidout
I use this on my hair and it helps a little from my hair looking so dry
As soon as I saw your video...I went wow! Your hair is beautiful!! I never had a Jerry curl, and I did not put one in my girls (35 & 36...March & April 36 & 37) hair. You know I got a story... When I was in the army (Alaska), I was the only girl in the hanger (aviation unit) for a year or so. Soon following, a girl came (black)...wait for it... wait for it... She had a Jerry curl. Lol... 😂😂 (remembering the situation) OK... Sorry! Well, we would be in formation in the hanger, and all the men were white and we were two black girls. I don't know what she had in her hair (you said s curl don't drip), but it would always be dripping down on her uniform in formation. I can't tell you how embarrassing this was for me. But not for her (because she never changed anything)... A few of the guys would look at me when she first got there... (don't look at me). Anyway, everybody got used to her dripping hair. I had relaxed hair...thank you. But I can't talk...this guy would give me a ride to the hanger and always complain about my loud perfume...rolling down his window. He would be mad! He was from the Ozarks (something like this). Did I complain when he ate all his food with his fingers...no I did not. Priceless... Y'all should have seen the faces looking at him eat with his fingers everyday in the mess hall. If he was from Africa or an island, no one would have cared. But, he was white from the good old USA. So, I said all this to say you have soft hair. I have 4c hair that fraims my face (it's soft), but the middle back hair is 4c and is hard. It's tempting to try because your hair looks amazing. I actually liked it better fully dry. Great job...
Thanks for the story 😊
Juri curl juice is definitely useful!!! I use Softsheen-Carson gold curl activator on my hair in the dead of winters when it's super dry outside, and it really moisturizes my hair. I have to stop using it come spring because it cause Hygral Fatigue.
Your hair has gotten so big it almost doesn't fit into the camera frame anymore, LOL!! It's looking great! Love to see the progress.
Sometimes i really hate how my hair look like, i'm mixed and look like a white but have the exact same kind of hair than u... Don't know what can i do now i feel like i can only rock dreads, braids or any protective style.
I wonder how this would work with braid outs, twist outs and bantu knot outs
The only thing I know about a Jerry curl is my grandmother had one
U don’t look like u old enough to know about Jerry curls. I got teased too 😂😂😂
Try CurlMax curl activator and Blue magic castor oil hair grease
I like it.❤
Looking good..
We have the exact same hair type
It's moisturizing, but I just wish it had a better smell:-) The scent is kinda old-school.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Your hair really doesn't shrink much does it!
It really doesn't! Still surprises me to this day lol. It just becomes more and more dense instead
This curl doesn't work at all
This is more for wave texturing hair
You are Beautiful 😍 ❤😘
U have tik hair gal wawww!!
I’m a mixed guy (black and white) my sisters have big curly hair ( basically straight) but I have like AFRO AFRO hair like water runs from my hair! I don’t understand! I don’t use products because I was never taught since I’m a dude, can someone explain to me if this has happened to any other mixed dudes ? Cuz I’ve never seen another mixed person with my kind of hair! Not to be rude to anyone I just don’t know what to do at this point
Do you mean it takes a bit for water to soak your hair or that it is normally dry? You may have low porosity hair like mine. Using warm water will help open up the hair to allow it to soak. And what do you currently use as products? 😁
i have the same hair type you do but like after 10 mins of it bein wet itll afro up, i dont use products because i grew up on a farm and around only full white people and my sister has basically straight hair so they use white products, ive tried mixed girl leave in curl gel and it helps but within 20 mins it go back to an afro style, i cant use mixed products because it wont hold and i cant use (black) products because it makes my hair extremely greasy, i have like four different hair styles in my hair like curly parts dry parts and a few straight, my hair is allllll jacked up lol, im not sure what to use to help my hair be healthy.
@@smiittywags7871 A lot of us have jacked up hair (mixed or not...meaning different textures). I have a few 3C pattern hair right at the very top of my head (drives me nuts). I'm fully black with an equal pattern of 4C & 4B and a little of 4A. May will be 3 years, I'm used to it. You even learn a few tricks so that all the patterns get alone. I use no heat...none (not even for conditioning my hair). I understand you not wanting that afro look. I'm fully black but come from a black and white family, so I get it. I wonder if this is why some guys & girls keep their hair pulled back so it won't be an afro? There maybe a product out there that you will come across, but in the end...we all have to accept that our hair is what it is. I've seen at least 4 biracial guys that outside appearance was totally white with totally black hair. Three of the guys young and the other was a mature guy (40's), and they all had their haircut close to their head. Good luck, and thanks for sharing your side of things.
I get you man. Just try products from shea moisture and see what is does for your hair. Its a journey. Im also mixed en because i am a boy, i also grew up without learning about products en using them. Since i began with products my hair looks different, more healthy and more curly. Just try things out.
Joy-elle needs to Interview her mom again cause people think Black moms with mixed kids don't struggle when it comes to hair. Shoot! Mixed hair be the thickest!
What is ‘mixed’ hair? I’m not ‘mixed’ my whole fam has hair thick as this😬
Nope not working for you
Well somebody has to say it!
Girl that ain’t no 4c hair. You are a 3c maybe 4a. Lol
