Has anyone ever used these? Are they worth the money?? I see the Control Gel II received good reviews here, but nothing recent. Just wondering if you can buy them anywhere. Thanks.

I got the Structura Lotion and Control II from CurlMart but I wish I had resisted the impulse. They didn't do anything for my hair and were very expensive.

OK, that's good to know. I was hoping people would say they were not great, because they are EXPENSIVE!! Thanks!!

I also tried the Structura lotion and wasn't impressed. It wasn't bad, it just didn't do anything for my hair. Thank goodness mine was a sample and I didn't have to pay for it.

Isn't it weird how some of the really expensive stuff is among the worst stuff??

Yeah, sometimes "you get what you pay for" does not always apply!!

I found the Structura Lotion similar to Curl Keeper, but I liked CK a little more.

Their Control Gels have to be mixed with Structura lotion. Control II is designed for 3c/4a curls or really tight 3b (they compared the amount of curliness to a phone cord when I talked to a product consultant on the phone). Control I is for looser curls. While I liked the customization ability in theory with the Structura and Control gels being able to be combined per my personal need ratios, I couldn't get consistant results because the amounts needed were so small and the tiniest change in the ratio gave me different results.

I did like their standard conditioner quite a bit, but I had to apply generously to get good results.

I think their products show promise. I just wish they had more sample-sizes/kits to try out their products for myself. Also, they seem to be linked to very specific routines/usage instructions, and it's difficult to figure out without having a salon person demonstrate, at least for me as a visual person.

Has anyone tried the Gel-Mousse? That one is really tempting me.
