Do You Remember Surge 14 Hair Revitalizer?????

Is this a reference from Tom Brown's movie, "Freaks"?

Funny thing, I happened to see it on Reddit and it stuck with me. Yes, it is a reference to Tom Brown's "Freaks" but I had the Wolf of Wall Street in mind lol

Oh okay!

Just applied cream and APB oil to the scalp. I definitely have to add oil after the cream. My scalp feels dry and crunchy without it.

You didn't ask me but my contribution is whatever part of my hair is loose and free, I randomly part small sections and spritz my scalp. Otherwise, I'm spritzing just my styled partings and hairline.

Ditto,

IME, when you spray the styled parts, depending on how heavy you spray, X21 moves to the un-parted area of your scalp.

Just a repost about the split ender:

Hey again, lovelies... just giving you notice that if you are considering the Split Ender you can certainly obtain an authentic product from eBay! For less than what you pay at the retailer site (including shipping). I got mine last night and it is definitely the real deal and was brand new with the plastic encasing around the box, manuals, distributor poster (if you're a salon owner), etc. The seller wasn't joking in the description of the product lol.

Look for the seller named beauty-pro. Located in NY.

I have a similar question @whosthatcurl. @MileHighDiva, are you saturating your scalp? Are you parting your hair in every section to ensure you get it saturated all over? Or , are you simply just spray whatever scalp area is exposed?

Even though i remove my twists and bun, those parts of the scalp are still there. I spray those parts and KIM. I don't saturate. That got my in trouble the last time.

Thank you!

I don't use the spray bottle at all, I have mine in an applicator bottle with nozzle. I apply to my scalp only for the liquid. I always follow with my JBCO/EVOO/peppermint oil mix. But I've never intended to use it as a moisturizer. For the cream I use on scalp only and edges. Once a week I will apply a small amount of cream on my ends and follow with a butter or oil. I have to be careful with the cream or spray on my hair because of protein overload.

Did it mat from saturating? If so, that's why I re-upped, but haven't resumed use. Matting at the roots is not fun to detangle

I did start notice matting but it's tolerable. My issue was itching. The more I used the worse it got.

Man, that cream sure goes down quick. Or I might be overly generous . I love the way it feels going on my scalp. Still, if I want to have enough to use 2x daily, I need to switch to the spray.

 

[chocolat79]

I've been pretty consistent with use. I took off 3 days last week because I went out of town and I'll take off a few days next week because I'm taking down my crochet havana twists and will get a wash/blow dry/trim and I don't have the cream.

I started doing inversions and after tonight just one more day for the month. 4 minutes with a 2 minute massage. I really won't be able to determine length until my next length check in 2 months since I didn't take pics last time.

@whosthatcurl, uh how much are you using? I've been using the cream for 3 months and have barely made a dent in the jar.

I'm finally starting to feel and see a few of those 'mini-waves' I used to get when used old Surge! They feel different from my normal hair as they tend to be harder, tinier and crinklier (is that a real word?). Initially, at around the end of December, I was a bit dismayed and disappointed because I thought this product wasn't working for me. But, I've been baggying my entire head every night, which keeps my hair intensely, moisturized and moist. Last night, I skipped the baggy. Was too tired.
This morning my hair is dry and that's when I could feel those little Surge waves a'comin' ! I've not noticed any growth, yet. But I have only been using XCEL 21 for about 30 days. In my excitement, I look for progress immediately. In my experience and in reality, I know I have to give my hair at least 4 months to see if something is working for me or not. That would be around April 2017 . Today is wash day!

@Chicoro, I'm right there with you looking for immediate results. That's another reason I wanted braids....hide my hair and hope for patience.

@gvin89,
What kind of braids do you have?

Way more than you
I part and use a finger tip full on each part. I have a big head, thick thirsty hair, and my apartment is as hot as Hades from that good ol' radiator heat.
Edited to change a word: I meant more

Once I wash out my conditioner, I will spray, spray, spray, seal with SSI Seyani and air dry. I will wear a wig next week.

I've given in and finally bought two bottles of this stuff. Hopefully it works for me and my mom.

@beingofserenity I hope it works for you both!

I did my mom's hair yesterday - detangling, pooing, coloring, and deep conditioning - and her major area of alopecia has strands of hair ranging 1-2 inches. That area has been bald (clean and smooth like George Jefferson) for 11 years. I have high hopes for Xcel because she has only used the spray and cream for one month. I wish she would let me take photos to share with LHCF and the company. Hopefully she will have a TWA in that area within the next six months.

OT- Can we change the title of this thread? lol

An amazing testimony! Wonderful for your mommy, too!

Yesterday I washed & was sitting, about to do my hair. Looked over into the mirror & saw this random squiggley clump of hair sticking straight out from my head! It looked like I had an antennae lol the clump is in one of the areas across my hairline that I'm hoping will recover from the years I had locs. Next wash day I will definitely try to get a pic.

 

[BklynHeart]

I have my hair in box braids. I think I'll mix some of the spray in the cream and apply to my scalp. This way it's moisturized and my braids won't get puffy at the base.

 

[GGsKin]

Spritzed my scalp and massaged tonight. Also massaged some into my brows.

 

[Prettymetty]

Still spraying... and I've been looking online for a new wig. So far nothing has caught my eye

 

[PureSilver]

Spraying my scalp faithfully. I June can't come soon enough for my update. I'll wait it out though because it takes a PATIENCE.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Almost didn't do it tonight. Good thing I bought a spray and a cream. If I had to use the cream I probably would not have made it lol. If I'm not mistaken, I think I feel some Surge wavies.

 

[DarkJoy]

back on the spritz!

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Seems like my crown of my head is more itchy than the base of my skull. I need the back of my head to to grow more

 

[LavenderMint]

So the itchies denote growth? I haven't felt itchies anywhere I need the growth.

Usually my head only itches for one of 3 reasons: It's dirty, it's growing, or my nerves are bad. In my case it could be one or all three.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

@MeaWea But I don't think everyone feels the itchies. Doesn't mean it's not working for you. I suppose the only to know for certain is to take before and after photos.
