Sometimes i get oils there- other times i get them at www.thechemistrystore.com  You Know i really don't know the answer to your second question- i just order 7 lbs at a time. The glycerin - i just add a little( capful or two) to my conditioner that i use for co washes. I add more liquid aloe vera but it will thin out some conditioners just a little however it is great if you have hard water- it is very moisturizing. Also when i make my daily spritz- i use a caoful or two of glycerin, maybe half the bottle(4-8 oz btl) of liquid aloe vera- 15 drops of oil then the rest is water. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the web site carrameldiva.

 Do you get essential oils from them also?  Is the lb weight based on the liquid quantity and how do you apply the glygerin and aloe vera and how often?

StaSofFro Curl Activator works well, but S-Curl is the tired and tested one!

Your talking about the Princess?

When your hair is moisturized, its stands a higher chance of growing no matter what kind of moisturizer you use.

I have been interested in using S-curl, I believe the only thing that kept my from purchasing it from Sally's was the smell.  I currently use wave nouveau moisturzing hair lotion; have you ever used this moisturizer, if show does it compare to S-curl?


No, I havent tried it, but I'm curious why dont you like the smell of S-curl No Drip?

Does anyone use good old fashioned curl activator?   You know, the kind for Jheri curls?  I read somewhere that it was a good moisturizer, but I cant get that scary, greasy Jheri curl look out of my head.  Also I'm not sure if you can use on relaxed hair... anyone tried it?
