      I've learned to apply my leave in while I'm in the shower. So my hair would be 15 maybe 20% dry. Then I applt my hair oil. My hair sucks in all that moisture. For about a good 1 1/2 weeks my hair will be moisturized. Since I recently colored my hair, this method works best for me. I'm 4b in the back and 4c every where else

    It's so crazy as someone who was a kid during the Jheri curl 80s days to see people using this product on their natural hair. Who knew? Jheri curls and S curls were chemical processes (almost like 'not all the way relaxed'...texturizer type methods) and the activators were to help you keep the curls moisturized throughout the day. It is hilarious that it works on natural hair and people didn't need the process part. Oh the 80s...

    I used this product in the 80’s and 90’s and this what grew African Americans hair back then because of the moisture that was in your hair. I have been natural for a year and 7 months and I said to myself what can I use in my hair so I won’t become a product junkie, went to my black owned beauty supply store walked around and it jumped right out at me S curl spray and when I tell you that’s all I use and people always ask me how did you get your hair to grow so fast. Hunty that S curl is still that deal. And if you use it while you have protective styles especially braids it is the bomb. Hair stay soft at all times. Your hair turned out gorgeous

      It's good you got result using the current version of these products. The formulas of many of the former "jerry curl" products have been changed from the 80s. Some of the ingredients that made them effective for retaining growth ( mineral oil, glycerin, wheat protein) have been replaced.

    • @flip_lady_t
      @flip_lady_t 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Thank you for mentioning the braids. I use World of Curls activator gel and EcoStyler (the same she used) for my wash and go. Butters, creams, all that foolishness leaves my hair dry as a twig. This is the one combo that has worked wonders (along with olive oil). I was skeptical about how it would do on my braids though, for some reason. I’m about to step up my activator gel game to braids and twists.

  • @MrMzcurlz1

    When of the reasons to Jerry curl was so popular was because of the moisturiser that you put on your hair. Your hair was so moisturized , that it just grew and grew with some people.

      @liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934 2 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      Curl activator doesn't make your hair grow. Your hair constantly grows without curl activator. Afro textured hair tends to be very dry, which causes a growth- breakage cycle. The hair breaks off just as fast as it grows. Curl activator keeps your hair moisturized, which stops the breakage and allows the hair to accumulate length.

    Hey Jess, the young lady that started this Faye in the City, has low porosity hair also and she places a plastic cap on her head for about 10 minutes or if you have a bonnet dryer you can sit under it for 5 - 10 minutes after you put your leave-in conditioner on. Let me tell you I tried it and it made all the difference in my low porosity hair. The amount of moisture my hair was able to get just from leaving the plastic cap on after applying my leave-in was unlike anything I had ever had. My leave-in was not sitting on top of my hair when I removed the plastic cap.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I have had my little girl since she was 2 months old, and she will be 3 in February.
    She has the exact same type of hair you do; I have never known what to do with her hair.
    Watching videos like yours has helped me understand the processes to deal with her hair. I always want her to be proud of her hair, I never want to let her down with not knowing how to care for her hair properly.
    I just love her natural hair and want to just take the best care of it as I can.

    Curl activator is just wonderful! It moisturizes and seals moisture into your hair while giving definition. I used to use it on my natural hair before I got a perm, and after I did a big chop recently (went back to natural), it was the first thing I went in search of. Everyone with natural hair needs to get that good old curl activator. These modern products do not compare!

    Okay. I'm going on 50 and growing up, I got my hair straightened out with a hot comb. Old school. When I was old enough to play in my hair, 12-13, I got some curl activator and put it in my hair. I was chemical free and when I was on the bus, this older lady asked how did I get my hair curly. I told her and she thought I had a Jerri curl. I told her I don't have a Jerri curl or a relaxer. She then turned around and said to me, wow! That worked on your hair like that??!! Nice!!! I didn't use gel just the curl activator and let it dry.

      Still using Blue Magic that comes in the tub. People laugh when I say that's what I use. But my straight face let's them know I'm serious. Some kinda way people evolved from hair grease

    My Mom uses curl activator too on her natural hair and totally agree it works. Doesn't flake up. Glad it works for you too.
