LOOB- Dry or wet?

momof3curls · 08-04-2008, 09:49 AM

I had to go to CVS this am to pick something up for dd#2, and I saw the LOOB, and picked up a jar since I have seen it mentioned here so much. Those of you who use it, do you use it wet like a curling cream, or after it is dry to scrunch out the crunch? Do you know if it has any Mag Sulfates in it?

I use it sopping wet...and never thought about using it to STC.

I'm pretty sure there's no MgSO4 in it...

I use it to scrunch out crunch. I tried it like a regular gel once and my hair came out a stringy mess. I don't understand how people can get such great results with it on wet hair

I use it on wet hair over a leave in cond with good clumping. My hair has issues with stuff being put on it when it's dry.

Same here. I've tried applying products to my hair when its dry and it just gives me horrible frizz.

I don't use it too much. I have other products I prefer. However, I can only put products on wet hair.

Using products on dry curly hair, or handling it at all, is just asking for frizz! I reccommend using it on wet hair. I use it when my hair is about half to two thirds dry. Some people use it on dripping wet hair. Anywhere between the two is a good place to start, then work your way drier or wetter to see what your hair needs!

I use it over a leave in, and FOTE on flour sack towel dried hair.

I use it after leave in while my hair is dripping wet. I get about half a palmful and spread it until most of my hair is covered. Then I add gel, then brush to distribute everything. With the texture of Loob, I don't think it'd work well dry. It doesn't have enough hold for me not to use a gel, so I consider it a creme and not a gel. I don't scrunch at all, but I have heard of people scrunching with it.

Well, that depends on the product though. JCN&S is great on Dry hair! Other "oils" in general do well on dry hair.

I use it on wet and dry hair. Sometimes I use it as a curl cream on wet hair. I've also used it on dry hair to kind of tame down frizzies and smooth it over the canopy.

I put the majority in wet hair. However, when my hair dries and if I see some curls that arent formed well or are frizzing, I put it on my ends as sort of a pomade.
