Hey Mayfletcher, what works for me and think it will really work for you too is lotta body creamwrap. Its not a setting lotion but a setting cream in place of the setting lotion and it works great on hair. Its a really good product that won't dry your hair out and won't leave that hard crunchy feeling. I think you will like it Alot. You can find it at your regular beauty supply stores. God bless you.
