I know you've heard this but be patient and don't try to watch it grow. It'll happen. I really enjoyed my shorter hair. The longer it grows, the longer it takes to style it. I'm about ready to either big chop again or get locs! Thanks again for watching and commenting.
I use this product after I shampoo and condition my hair. Apply leave in conditioner to your hair then apply the product while hair is still wet/damp. Your curl definition will show better.
I finally found the @Curl_MAX curl pudding! It was at a local BSS. The price point is $5.99. The store owners probably thought I was crazy, marching up and down every aisle until I found the Lustrasilk products and BAM - the whole line! #score
I love the Lustrasilk Curl Max . Since the product is new, it is hard to find. I only found it at Walmart and Sally's has it online but I have not been to the to Sally's to see if they have it in the store. Walmart in my area only carried the Lustrasilk Curl Max and nothing else in the product line. I loved the way the Curl Max smells , the way it gave my hair moisture and how it defined my curls. So I highly recommend the product.
Probably but I really don't understand the hair typing system. I have Andre Talks Hair but I just go with the flow. There are so many nuances within a head of hair that one system can't define it all. Thanks for your question and hair love!
Oh yes! I have not used it since being natural though. I used it back in the day when I had a Jherri Curl. I will try it for this summer. Thanks for the update!
Thank you. If I had read the directions, I would have used it differently but the glop it on technique seemed to have worked for me. Let me know if you give it a try.
Caps don't bother me. LOL. Thanks for the comment. My hair, Millie, is very moody. But when I find a product she likes, she responds by behaving and getting all sheen-y. She really loves the Curl Max line.
Love your results! I saw those products in Walmart 2 weeks ago and I almost broke down and got them. You know I have a "thing" for curl activator gels. LOL! Right now, I welcome shrinkage b/c my hair has been falling crazy and uneven with my wash n go's lately. Thanks for sharing this!
LOL. Amazing Shrinkage is right! So far, so good! I keep trying to find the right thing so I can go somewhere and sit down and have a minimalist's lifestyle! But my shelves are thinning out since I have curbed my PJ-ism but I still have a ways to go! I am finding products that work so I am heading in the right direction!
You seem to have a great understanding of what your #naturalhair likes. We don't want it snapping off. I really like this line, but I AM a PJ in rehab! Let me know what you do! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi there! Love your channel name. I'm crafty as well and have a crafting channel. Anyway, I had to subscribe because I'm a new natural and also a crafter...so your channel gives me the best of both.
I would definitely call before making the drive. I just happened upon it and almost passed it up. Glad I gave in to the PJ-ism! Let me know if you find it.
Yes I saw them on Amazon and I don't want to pay the shipping either...i went to two bss and two Sallys and walmart. I think i'm gonna try another one today...its a lil bit of a drive but they may have it...I think I will call them 1st though. Thanks for the review and replying back!
Definitely easy on the purse. I was in Walmart a few minutes ago and ALL the Curl Max was GONE! Mousse, Activator, Spray - everything! I didn't even seen a sign of where it could have been! I walked up and down the aisles to see if I had found it anywhere other than the "ethnic" products. Nope. GONE! I just hope it's due to the Easter frolicking and what nots! I will stay on alert.
It's not very greasy. But it does have water and glycerin but I think it's a good mix. It's not as oily as Stay Soft Fro. Not sure how it would work on relaxed hair since I'm certain it has water in it. Do you wear a curly look versus a bone straight one?
Yay! Do let me know how it works on your hair! I am also IN LOVE with the Let's Jam Custard! I am doing a modified Curly Girl method. Modified because I like to shampoo my hair. Curly Girl because I am using my fingers only to detangle and using the Tresemme Naturals line.
You're welcome! I am a reformed Product Junkie! I've been able to refrain from purchasing new products but when I saw this one, I just could not resist. Good for you that you have not become a PJ! Even if you decide to try things, opt for the sample sizes just to test them out before committing to a jar of junk you don't like! Thanks for commenting! Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks. I remember getting HEADACHES when my hair was BC'd and was trying so hard to rock a puff. The head band would just be too tight and squeezing my head tight! Do not try that. Be patient. One tip though, the round bands tend to roll and the flat ones will lie flat better!
Hmmm. . . I'm completely natural and I'm not sure how it works on transitioning hair. There is a chance that because of the glycerin, it could make the the two textures more manageable. If you decide to try it, let me know. If I hear of any transitioners using it, I'll send you a message. Thanks for your question.
I love the curl activators, I've been using one that is great. Your hair is looking good. LOL @ the choking of the headband trying to put it on..I use to do that.
you (we) will get there, i know the feeling! though i am doing a lot better, my drawers are getting empty and i like that feeling!! i want to get to the point where i have no more than 5 products in my bathroom before i do a hair product haul again, when will this happen?? hoping in July, but we'll see!! :) xx
Thanks for showing this! The curls are poppin and it seems to work really nicely!! There are sooo many new "natural hair" products this yr. I will add this to my to try list. Im so proud of myself I havent purchased any new products in 2012 (Yaaaay) and I have been using up alot of products, but I will be purchasing some new things this month LOL.
I got the product from dollar general and it works well. I apply it to my hair and put in some water from my spray bottle. Also I put on alil eco styler gel and it works for me.
I get the same reaction when I see the ladies with that twisting puff cord around their necks. I can tolerate it on the back of my neck as it is stronger but the front is more delicate and makes me gasp. Yes ma'am. Those products did refresh me quite nice. I am going to try to find the Curl Pudding. There is also a mousse but I have cans of lonely mousse in my stash already! But none has Argan Oil in it so maybe I will end up with the entire line. Maybe.
LOOKS VERY NICE!! A WINNER IF YA ASK ME!! I KNOW THAT S CURL NO DRIP ACTIVATOR WORKS WONDERS FOR MY NATURAL HAIR BUT I HAD TO STOP IT AS MY HAIR AND MOISTURE BALANCE HAS TO BE JUST RIGHT OR ELSE MY HAIR STARTS TO SNAP OFF! SINCE STOPPED USING IT, HAIR STRONG AGAIN BUT OH HOW I LOVED THE WAY IT MADE MY HAIR LOOK AND WHEN I LOOK BACK AT PICTURES, YES INDEED IT WAS A WINNER....MAYBE TIME FOR ME TO TRY THESE 2...........? Thanks for sharing :)
@thecreativelady. YES! I so wanted to explain more, but as usual i knew i'd run out of letters. LOL, looks like something saved for a next video..Yes, i must say in this journey i am looking at my hair so differently now "new born baby yo" lol. My hair dictates to me, BELIEVE! We have an understanding with one another. Sometimes i go all diva on it and sometimes it goes all diva on me.(!) I never ever thought i'd love my hair to the way i do now. Now time 2 share :) Thanks for talking with me :)
Thanks. Seems like whenever I want to do a #naturalhair video, I don't have the camera ready and I'm in a hurry. The hair is usually really cute but I don't have a recording! Ugh! I am going to work on planning them.
Thank sis! I could NOT resist because my hair loves curl activator too, I trust the Lustrasilk line and the price was right! Winner, winner, winner! Your hair would probably be Goo Goo Gaga! LOL!
I saw them on Amazon but the shipping was expensive. I saw another video and she mentioned she found them at her BSS. I have not tried the local one that usually has EVERYTHING!
I bought this today haven't tried it I was a bit iffy because the price was so cheap for such a big bottle I didn't get the spray but I bought the goddess curls moisturizer spray I hope I like it thanks
I love this product! However, it leaves like these white flakes on my hair. And their tea tree moisturizer creates dandruff in my hair. My mom experienced the same thing. But it's so efficient! I'll just have to deal!
Thank you! I love glycerine and water too. It makes my hair very soft. I'm testing using glycerine right now for winter usage. Lustrasilk Curl Max is still a great product for me too. I'm just a Reformed PJ! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I must say...i do have a good feeling............looking back at my hair pics, some kinda activator or spritz is just what my hair needs..........All to be revealed soon :)
OH em Gee! You are my hair twin !! Im sitting here smiling the whole time while looking at your video ! I put my hair band on my hair the exact same way and pull my two curlies down too LOL Im so tickled right now ...anyways good review :)
You can you it on transitioning hair cause i am using on my hair now but i am 10 month post relaxer but its a big help with your two textures so for i love it
Thank you for joining me. I will have to come and check you out. Congratulations on starting your natural hair journey. This channel is going to change it up a bit. My natural hair journey is starting to get lost here so I started a channel dedicated to it on NappyliciousTV. Thanks again and I'm on my way over. Later!
Defined curls usually make the hair shrink. The curler your hair the shorter it is. Its more coiled it sjould be expected. Just research how to stretch your roots a bit thst way you can have definition an length. Good look Hunn

Curl activator is typically for jherri curls but it also works for natural hair as a moisturizer.
I finally found the @Curl_MAX curl pudding! It was at a local BSS. The price point is $5.99. The store owners probably thought I was crazy, marching up and down every aisle until I found the Lustrasilk products and BAM - the whole line! #score
I noticed that the moment, you put the products on your hair, it started to curl and show waves. You have very lovely hair.
I love the Lustrasilk Curl Max . Since the product is new, it is hard to find. I only found it at Walmart and Sally's has it online but I have not been to the to Sally's to see if they have it in the store.

So I highly recommend the product.
That's cute...I bought the Curl Max today and plan to use it on my daughter hair....
Yes. Your method of crossing the band is more practical. I'm going to get this product.
Your hair looks great! It's good that now there are affordable products for natural hair on the ground. Lots of options for the budget.
tht thing refreshed ur curls nicely! lol @ twisting puff cord around the neck! i always clutch at my neck anxiously when i see ladies doing tht!
Natural is beautiful
I called and they did have it so now I have it...can hardly wait to try it!
Don't ya just love those "you never know what's gonna happen moments"? I do. Thanks for stopping by!
Probably but I really don't understand the hair typing system. I have Andre Talks Hair but I just go with the flow. There are so many nuances within a head of hair that one system can't define it all. Thanks for your question and hair love!
Was looking at this product over weekend and will try it over the weekend

Thanx 4 sharing I'm definitely going to try on my daughter's hair.
You are welcomed! I hope it works for your daughter's hair too.

I like the shower curtain. Three demensional/looks like the fur is really dangling on the gowns! But you're the CreativeLady, they probably ARE!!!
Yay! No need to choke yourself making a puff right? Love the curlies on the side. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I thought it would be good for transitioners but I wasn't sure. Thanks for your input and experience with the product.
The spray is really good. I used it on my twists that I just took down. Thanks!
Thanks I'm going to pick it up ! Your hair looks great!
I would definitely call before making the drive. I just happened upon it and almost passed it up. Glad I gave in to the PJ-ism! Let me know if you find it.

Cool! I'll be looking forward to your thoughts about it.
Thank you. I knew I couldn't be the only one.

Your hair looks amazing..I bought the activator at Dollar General last year but didn't know how to use it really. Thanks!
Thanks for showing this! The curls are poppin and it seems to work really nicely!! There are sooo many new "natural hair" products this yr. I will add this to my to try list. Im so proud of myself I havent purchased any new products in 2012 (Yaaaay) and I have been using up alot of products, but I will be purchasing some new things this month LOL.
Yes ma'am! The price is right and it works!
If glycerin products work best in humid climates, what works in dry climates?
I was just saying the other day I miss your hair videos...your hair looks great!
Congrats on the Big Chop! Glycerine can be purchased at Whole Foods and some GNC stores. But I have the best luck with Amazon.
Great video! I just purchased this today for my newly natural hair. You are so beautiful tfs. I subbed to your channel😘
Darn, if I didn't live in such a dry climate, that product (w/ glycerin) would be perfect.
Love the curly puff :)
I got the product from dollar general and it works well. I apply it to my hair and put in some water from my spray bottle. Also I put on alil eco styler gel and it works for me.

Cute - nice curls!

Now time 2 share :) Thanks for talking with me :)
cute curls before and after!
You can actually fine that curl pudding at target in the natural section they have a wide selection of natural hair products.
Thanks. Seems like whenever I want to do a #naturalhair video, I don't have the camera ready and I'm in a hurry. The hair is usually really cute but I don't have a recording! Ugh!
I am going to work on planning them.
Thank sis! I could NOT resist because my hair loves curl activator too, I trust the Lustrasilk line and the price was right! Winner, winner, winner! Your hair would probably be Goo Goo Gaga! LOL!
looks like a nice set of products, it did give you amazing shrinkage lol :)
How did you get your current hair texture, what products did you use? have you got a video on that ?
Thanks :)
I saw them on Amazon but the shipping was expensive. I saw another video and she mentioned she found them at her BSS. I have not tried the local one that usually has EVERYTHING!
Did you get the Lustrasilk yet?
it's the World of Curls Gel Activator, have you heard of it? It is real good, and very moisturizing.
I really have no clue!
Thanks Sis!
Is this okay to use on permed hair where the perm is growing out?
I bought this today haven't tried it I was a bit iffy because the price was so cheap for such a big bottle I didn't get the spray but I bought the goddess curls moisturizer spray I hope I like it thanks
Someone told me that was for jerry curl. Is that true?
Thanks Lady!
sis i feel you about that band choking you....thought i was the only one....lol
I love this product! However, it leaves like these white flakes on my hair. And their tea tree moisturizer creates dandruff in my hair. My mom experienced the same thing. But it's so efficient! I'll just have to deal!
Thank you! I love glycerine and water too. It makes my hair very soft. I'm testing using glycerine right now for winter usage.
Lustrasilk Curl Max is still a great product for me too. I'm just a Reformed PJ! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Yay! Can't wait to see how you feel about it. Thanks for the update.
Thanks @LilBitakaTrecey! You love Hawaiian Silky right?
Girl, I will NOT choke myself in the name of hair! LOL!
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Karla Boyd You're welcomed!!! Thanks for checking it out.
I must say...i do have a good feeling............looking back at my hair pics, some kinda activator or spritz is just what my hair needs..........All to be revealed soon :)
Wonder how it would have turned out had you used your activator on wet hair.. Never seen anyone use activator on dry hair. Nice results.
I have been looking all over for these products...unfortunately, they are not at my walmart.
OH em Gee! You are my hair twin !! Im sitting here smiling the whole time while looking at your video ! I put my hair band on my hair the exact same way and pull my two curlies down too
LOL Im so tickled right now ...anyways good review :)
You can you it on transitioning hair cause i am using on my hair now but i am 10 month post relaxer but its a big help with your two textures so for i love it
i got this at walgreens for 4.99 next to the 15.99 drama..and i love it
Thank you!
MY daughter is 7 months in transition, so can I use it on her hair? I bought the product anyway...
Welcome!
Thank you for joining me. I will have to come and check you out.
Congratulations on starting your natural hair journey. This channel is going to change it up a bit. My natural hair journey is starting to get lost here so I started a channel dedicated to it on NappyliciousTV.
Thanks again and I'm on my way over. Later!
Nope it's a different one I still uses the Hawaiian Silky too! I will do a video on it..
That doesn't work for me. It makes my hair really gummy and the spray is sticky.
I use the curl activator gel with eco styler gel to get the hold from the eco but the curl max keeps it soft.
Just let your SOOOOUUULLL GLOOOWWWW , OH SO SILKY SMOOTHE!!
Love your hair and the result. Are you a 4b hair type?
What is your hair type? Are you a 4b or 4c?
Defined curls usually make the hair shrink. The curler your hair the shorter it is. Its more coiled it sjould be expected. Just research how to stretch your roots a bit thst way you can have definition an length. Good look Hunn
i just did my big chop 6 hours ago where can i get glycerine from by itself?
Do you use a plastic cap at night when you go to bed?
& you DID that puff honey lol
LOL, thank you thablackdiamond Let me know how the goddess curls spray works.
Thank you. 3D yes, "fur" ummm = no. . . feather boa stuff that flies in the air when touched. LOL.
luv the video
I Love it Wonderful!Yes it Excellent
Cute hair.
