I Finally Tried JHERI CURL GEL And... | Luster's S Curl Gel Wash and Go
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2021
- Trying Lusters S Curl activator gel on type 4 hair. Then comparing Aunt Jackie’s gel with Eco styler.
It’s been ages but the time is now. I’m finally putting Lusters Curl and Wave Curl Activator (aka Jheri Curl Gel) to the test!
Here’s the original cocktail for this wash and go: Luster’s S-Curl Activator Moisturizer, Luster’s S Curl and Wave Jel Activator, Wetline Extreme gel.
I’m bypassing the activator moisturizer spray because it contains a preservative that is a formaldehyde releaser. Then I’m swapping out the Wetline gel for a comparison of Aunt Jackie’s Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel vs Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel.
In hindsight, I must say the magic of the S Curl gel is not in the curl definition. The magic is in the moisture retention throughout the week for a type 4 wash and go. It made a huge difference! I highly recommend you try it.

That’s what I noticed as well!
The health of your hair Latoya😍😍😍 the bounce 🔥🔥🔥 is everything for me
Thank you Tsholo. I work really diligently on it!
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I know, I’ve been watching you since day one. You’re one of my favorite RUclipsrs💃🏽
Okay I’ve been trying to figure out for the longest who you remind me of and finally realized tamera housley. Your mannerisms, the way you speak and you kind of look similar🤣🤣. I love your videos girl keep it going!
Haha! I get that a lot. I take it as a compliment. She's lovely!
Yes. And some Rachel True❤️❤️
@@tattedgranny5753 Essence Atkins too
First, you are so prettyyyyyyy. Second, your hair texture and curl pattern is lovely. Third, love your delivery a lot and I am enjoying every bit of this video. 🥰🥰🥰
Aww thank you so much for such a lovely comment!
I clicked because of the dimples and eyebrows. Girl you are gorgeous. Stay bless!
Im shook! Your hair texture is of Mother Eve in Eden!! Wow!!!
The overexposure is very helpful to see your natural curl pattern and whatever changes the products offer.
I haven't finished yet but I'm just hoping you do the hair whip
Yay
I liked this, I think with some finessing it could be really good
If you haven't already, try Uncle Funky's Daughter Curl Magic. It clumps curls amazing on its on (you can add a gel on top if you want, but it doesn't play well with eco styler)...it's less sticky and gross than that luster stuff.
I have tried it and yes it is really good 👍🏽
I love love looooove the lighting in the shower scenes. It makes 4c hair look EXTRA beautiful!! 😍😍💕
🥰🥰🥰 The sun does it best.
It’s up to you, but I recommend sitting under the hood dryer for 30 mins max and diffusing the rest of the way.
The great thing about hood dryers is that your hitting most of your hair all at once-that’s how it maintains the shape of your wng better. But on dense hair, you could spend all day under there and not get your hair completely dry. So be careful not to over dry that top layer of your hair.
Another great result. The faces you make when you're thinking are adorable. Reminds me of my daughter.
Your hair is everything! Love it. Thanks for sharing!
Awww thank you so much!
“Have I been spoiled?!” 😆 in a manner of speaking. The hardest part about a wash n go is the technique. Once you get that down, products make very small differences. Whether I’m doing a $10 wng or a $25 wng...it looks and last’s relatively the same lol that’s my experience anyway.
Edit: A DRYER!!! I got all excited like it was my Christmas present 🤣
I feel the same with a twistout. I got in down, now I can use anything
Yeah, I think your right. As always!
Haha! Yes I FINALLY got a dryer! 😂
Awww...you tried it 🤗...I agree about the stickiness of the s-curl gel but your hair turned out great...per usual 🙂
Your hair has really grown ,its so beautiful!! Your curls are popping!its everything girl,your hair is healthy, wow👏good job!
Thank you Nicole!!
I had jheri curls back in the day and S Curl was my JAM! 🙌🏾
I had a Wave Nouveau 😂😂
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Elite! 🤣🤣🤣
You are such a good vibe sis, thank you for this video❤
Thank you for giving us the deets on your dryer! I've been agonizing over which one to get, because I'm long overdue for one. I plan to do wash n go's this summer too, but can't handle the air drying 🥴.
You and that popsicle in the shower, SENT ME😂😂🤣🤣😹 I have seen people have pretty much the same results questioning if it really added anything, some have said extra moisture but for a wash n go compared to just gel, nothing more. Funto watch you tho lol
That shower cap is what I need in my life rn 😩😫
@Alvina Sandra. I agree- shower cap is key for retaining the moisture. I get them from Dollar Tree [I’m in the US-Chicago]. Then a bonnet at night. Issue for me is not over-saturating and having to sleep on a damp head. Side note: Her eyebrows are goals.
Your hair came out amazing!!!! 😍🥂
Thank you! 🥂
I have kinky type 4 etc, low porosity hair and love the S Curl + Eco combo. I think the first time I tried it, I felt a little stickiness. But each time after, not sticky, not blue... And soft soft soft for at least a week. So far, it's the only wash n go that keeps my hair soft with definition for that long. I've done it on 3 other members of my family (all different hair types) and they raved about the softness as well. Like you said, we all diff hair and it's fun to experiment!
You’re so funny I love watching you !!🤣
That popsicle "interlude" was too funny!
🤣
Aunt Jackie’s is my go to gel I love it
I did this for the first time a few months back and loved it. I felt like I could’ve done better but overall loved it
That's an idea; try some of this over the summer for wng. Could make life more easier.
Hey pretty lady... Love the red and pink lip colour.
Thank youuuuuu! ❤️❤️
Not me eating that same popsicle fresh after a wash n go of my own 👀😂
Does my nephew know you were eating his popsicle in the shower???? Internet Auntie is teeeeeeellllllliiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!!! 🤣😂😹
I’ve done this before, but I don’t do the “praying hands”.... I apply with a chunk of hair like you did, but would pull apart small pieces pinching from root to tip. I got better definition of the curls. I’m also 4c hair
I'd love to see you do the Black Girl Curls wash n go.
Love the hair shake music!
Love, love your videos and the time you take giving information about 4c hair 🤩!! Real talk 🥰!! Have you considered trying Pattern products? I'm going to order Anthony Dickey's hair care line. Thoughts🤔🤔😊??
I haven't tried it yet. I actually don't think I've ever tried a celebrity haircare line yet. I can vouch for ADs line though. Especially the Curly Whip - it works so well (but you have to use a lot)
Ok, so am I the only one noticing the definition in her curls that don't even have product on it yet?!?
Yaaaaasss! I think I need to make a video talking specifically about wash n gos because I think they've upped my moisture levels tremendously. The hype is real lol!
@@LaToyaEbonyHair please do!! I definitely need some moisture retention help!!
Wash-n-go’s, if done correctly, can aid in moisture training. I started moisture training my hair while watching Kimberly Cherrell. I’ve been doing it for months now. My hair used to be so frizzy after washing but now, nothing but definition with no product!!!!!!!
I like the lustre silk curl activator. I usually mix it with some water, in my spray bottle, in order to cut down on the stickiness.
Hair goals! Gonna see if I cam get my 4c lmnop hair that length. In its grey state!!!!!
I am becoming a huge fan of yours
I love your videos
Awww thank you!!
Your welcome
I don't know if I have 4c hair. I just know my hair is nappy LOL
If you haven’t tried the Cantu flaxseed creme gel I think you should do a video on that. It feels like a primer for the hair yet it gives good definition. Love this vid and your hair as usual 💕💕
I did not need to read this...now I want to buy...lol. im trying to so hard not to fall back into my product junkie ways 🙈
@@apara2005 ugh yess same when your really invested in your journey you can become a new product feen 😩😭 but I love it tho and my 800 products
I have been using this since the summer. In addition to being cheaper than all of the natural brands on the market, it has really helped me a lot. I big chopped in June of last year and I’m a wash and go girl with 4 million different types of on my head. There are tricks to using this product.
1. There is a lite version which is less sticky.
2. To somewhat lite on the s curl and heavier on the other gel. I like wet line. The gel creates a caste over the s curl gel and blocks that sticky stuff.
3. After it dries, I usually apply another layer of gel.
After several days your hair will still look great and the stickiness goes away. I even have found that I like my twist outs with it. Once you conquer the stickiness, this is an awesome product.
I can’t use it due to the preservative but your results look great!
I use the s curl with eco styler. You have to play around with the proportion of both. Once you do you will not have the stickiness.
YES. And it eventually dried down. I think it was just a tinge wet.
Your hair looked gorgeous. It came out really well. I will say though I’m very curious as to what your hair would’ve looked like if you used the activator but I understand not wanting chemicals on your hair.
Hi Latoya happy Tuesday 🙂
Happy Tuesday!!! 🌟
I feel ya sis 🖤
To really see a difference you have to still use a leave in conditioner underneath the S-Curl. But I hated the stickiness!! Loved the results but hated the stickiness to the 100th power!
Love it 🥰
I need to take your advice and use what have before buying anything else 🥴😩
It's a tough pill to swallow. I love trying new products, but I hate clutter more 😂
Your eyebrows are soooo thick! Beautiful!
Update! Toya, the african pride honey and coconut oil shampoo was great on my last wash day. no flakes. dunno what happened with the preshampoo. still waiting for u to give that a try. the shampoo is BOMB
I have both the Eco and the Aunt Jackie's gels (along with far too many other gels), and those just don't work in combination with the glycerin in Lusters.. You have to get the Wetline.. Fire combos are combos for a reason.. Idk what it is but something in curl activator is just amplified by the Wetline.. Any other gel I have tried to use in combination just falls flat.. I sadly wasn't as smart as you are, and have purchased an arsenal of gels that are now seemingly obsolete 🥺.. Now that I've found my go-to combo...
I think I will definitely try the Wetline down the line. I just hate having too many hair products the same category in my possession. I'm almost done though, so it will be next. Don't worry about the past purchases. Throw them away if they aren't serving you (or give them away to family). It will create space for more things you love in the future. ❤️
Please try it with wetline or edge booster next. Time😇
Back in the day I used the Scurl for alllll Curly Weaves ..Lol ..It could do no wrong!
I bet your hair looked so good
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Yess everyone thought it was my hair aha! :)
The S Curl is to be used on texturized hair, an S curl Jheri curl. I would use a cold leave in in place of the activator and then add your eco styler or gel of choice.
I feel like her sections were too small when I apply my products for my wash and go I do tiny sections like if I were straightening my hair to make sure the product is on every strand also what type of hair is this?
The internal negotiation 😂
Every other week 😂
Nice video. Put a face towel on the crown of your head when under the dry. The dryer can damage the scalp and cause CCCA, which is a form of alopecia black women tend to get
7:00......😭😭🤣🤣💯
I notice you don't wash in sections. How do you prevent tangles?
I wash my hair pretty often and keep it stretched most of the time in between. My hair rarely gets too tangled nowadays.
Try it using a twistout
Oooooo niiiiiice one.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Let me know when you try on a twistout
How is the detangling process with WNG vs braid outs/twist out?
It’s about the same as long as I wash the wash and go before it gets too dried out.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair ok cool. I was thinking it be longer
This whole time im like you are not in the mood for all of this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You so funny 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Latoya, where did you get the plastic cap?
From Amazon, but I can’t find it anymore! ☹️
Oh ok, thank you anyways
Okay whats the tea because I heard the S Curl activator gel/spray dries out your hair and is bad for your hair long term. Has anyone experienced this? I want to add S curl activator to my curl routine. xx
Hi my love 💕 next time use a fan next to your hair dryer.
*sigh* I need more space. One day I’ll have my dream home with a studio for myself.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair dot not worry you will get it just ask to GOD he will give you to you. 🙏
Interesting darling🤔😳🤔
