I prefer worlds of curls. I've tried s-curl and sta-sof-fro but I don't lile them. Maybe if I could get my hair in a bun, I would like them, but for daily styling without frizz, worlds of curls is good. I want to try Smooth n' shines curl activator in the future. I like LongAid curl activator gel with Aloe Vera MonaLisa New Member. I've never used anything but World of Curls I'd be interested to know who is using this on their down hair days.
I love it for wearing my hair back, but its too Babygurl New Member. I decided that S-Curl No Drip was the best choice for me, its not greasy and it does wonders for making my new growth manageable. Care free curl gold and S-curl.
I use them both and they make the hair soft. I've tried world of curls and I don't really like the smell. Last edited: Feb 23, I like S curl no drip and I use it on my 2 year old daughter's hair I did not think that care free curl gold or Sta-Sof-Fro were as moisturizing. I also especially like world of curls, it is VERY moisturizing but you dont spray it on, you use it like a gel I think spray bottles help you control the application more.
Am I using the right worlds of curl? Mine smells nothing like jherri curl juice. It smells perfumey. Plus, the smell is easily overpowerd by the other products that I use. S-curl smells like jherri curl to me. I prefer S-Curl no drip. Care Free Curl Gold is my gold standard. Peachtree New Member. S-Curl No Drip! Poohbear Fearfully Wonderfully Made. My hair hates S-Curl does not moisturize at all leave my hair dry and tangled.

The water is essential to stop the product just sitting on hair and giving it a greasy look. The second trick is to use very little of the product. The more you load on, the more wet your hair will stay and therefore look. Try to use no more than a teaspoon per quadrant of hair, focus on spreading it thinly and evenly. You can use additional products such as oil or if you wish another moisturiser over the curl activator.
The Downside: Curl activator does induce shrinkage and if you are keen to wear your hair in a stretched out style, it is best to avoid it. If you are however intending to do twists, braids or a tucked in style where shrinkage does not matter, curl activator will be good.
Using Curl Activator to detangle hair Yes, you can use gel to detangle your hair! As curl activator is not a drying gel and can have good slip, it is possible to use it to detangle your hair. In this case, you can use a lot of the gel to ensure good coverage before either finger detangling or combing. The trick of the trade here is to work in sections and apply the gel onto only the hair you are working on.
Twist or braid the detangled section afterwards to cut down on shrinkage and make your hair easier to handle. Curl activator is water based, highly water soluble and very easy to rinse off after detangling. The Downside: Curl activator does soften hair and as a result when hair is breaking during detangling, you may not hear a snapping noise at all. Be very careful when finger detangling, combing or brushing to avoid any unnecessary extra force on the hair.
Do not repeatedly run the comb through the softened hair, stop detangling once the strands and separated enough. Using Curl activator as a Curl enhancer If your natural hair forms clumped spiral curls, it is absolutely possible to use the curl activator to enhance those curls.
Curl activator is very good at creating shrinkage due to the high water and humectant content. This shrinkage is an essential component in getting the curls to the right conformation to create the clumped spiral so do not fight it. The Downside: Most curl activator gels have very little to no hold. If you would like to keep your clumped curl style for several hours, you may need an additional thin layer of a holding gel to help. Alternatively, you could use a curl activator gel that tends to dry a little more and has more hold for example ecostyler gel or fantasia ic gel.
Ladies, have any of you use curl activator gel? What was your experience with it? How controversial!!! Very good article. Those products from back in the day that I have kicked to the curb.

My cousin laughed at me when she saw it with my other hair products. I use world of curls and the story behind that is my mom had a jeri curl and one day I ran out gel and I was 15 at the time didnt know the difference and when I used it I was soo mad cause it made my hairline curl up more not a joyous moment when youre going for the slick look then I realised 2 days later my hair was sooo soft been using it ever since with a few alterations.
Looking at the ingredients it has wheat amino acids. I use Care Free Curl Activator as part of my regimen. I have spent a fortune on natural products but none worked better on giving my hair the curl pattern desired as this old school product. Not only is it very inexpensive but it works so well in controlling the frizz. I highly recommend it. I need something for dry hair. Perhaps I will try it too.
