No love for Paul Mitchell Super Sculpt?

One of the things I love the most about this site is hearing your experiences with products. When I don't see people talking about a product, I get paranoid. Am I using a bad product?

I'm talking about Paul Mitchell's Super Sculpt which I put on after leave-in sometimes. I see lots of PM products discussed, just not this one.

Is it no good or am I just missing the praise?

@ajw827, I dunno if that's what my SHS used on my hair when she gave me the ugliest do I ever had after giving me an unsolicited BC. It was a Paul Mitchell setting lotion of sorts. Made my ugly do feel like the old dried up dog poop it looked like. Not a fan of anything Paul Mitchell that sounds like it's made to freeze hair; I get visions of poop baking in scorching desert heat!

lmbo Nonie!

I've never heard of this product. Tell us your experience.

This natural hair of mine is self-sculpting. No need for any molding/freezing products

Well dang....lmbo!!!

Yes I use the super sculpt foam and Love it!! I've been using it off and on for years. A stylist first used it in my hair when I was relaxed, she said she uses it on all her clients. At the time she was natural and that was the one product that she used in her hair. The super sculpt foam also mixes well with the foaming pomade. It gives my hair great definition and plenty of shine! My hair hates any kind of gel, cream, butter, and these are the only two styling products that I can use.

Wherever he is....Paul Mitchel just looked up and around, and shivered. I'm sure of it!

@MrsJaiDiva, @ReignLocks, @Theresamonet, @topnotch1010 You guys are making me laugh and this was no laughing matter. And you know what annoyed me even more after I got over the length loss, the shame of having been walking around looking like who did what and why (waiting for the curls to drop as if that were going to happen EVER! Yeah, my stoopid butt actually believed that nut who did this to me and charged me $80 for it when she said the style improves with time. )... What annoyed me even more was my friend actually telling me "The style doesn't look bad" then adding that she thought it looked fluffy. Fluffy my butt! I was so mad at her, that I actually decided to break it down for her coz clearly she wasn't seeing right. (Yeah, even your friends can't always be trusted; their tastes may be so different from yours.)

BTW, in case you are all wondering what style I had asked for or why I was in that stylist's chair in the first place, it was so she could teach me how to shingle. I know I could've followed the online directions and taught myself, but there's nothing like hands-on training, or so I thought. But the stylist instead decided to show me finger coils--although she didn't give them a name; she just said she'd give me a style that is easy to maintain. (For the record, I have since seen them look OK even on 4B hair when done right but that mess up there? Nah sir! I looked like a mad woman who'd been sitting in a corner picking her nose and twirling the findings into her hair as she rocked back and forth mumbling incoherently.)

ETA: And this, my friends, is why I do not let anyone do my hair; I don't care who it is, my hair is off bounds. I'd rather continue to live with my limited styling ideas. The stylist who did that mess to me came highly recommended, so you can all understand why I don't trust anyone anymore

Damn Nonie that's a shame. Did you pay her?

@Foxglove You gonn' really make me hafta show how stoopid I am making me answer that, eh? (BTW, your question made me crack up because you're such a gentle soul. I thought you were going to ask what someone else asked before: if I whooped her a$$ for doing that ish to me.)

Yes, I paid her. When she finished my hair, (which was all done away from a mirror, that is including the 5+ inch cut she called a trim) she moved me to a mirror to show me the front and then held another smaller mirror to show me the back and said something like "There you go!" or was it, "There!"? Well, it was a statement that implied "job completed". I thought she was kidding and chuckled at her joke. But she beamed as if proud of her work and didn't seem to be playing. I said out loud, "You're kidding, right?" She said, that she wasn't and that the "curls" would drop in a couple of days and that it gets better with time. I didn't think so but hey, I was told she's good at what she does; so maybe she knew something I didn't, hence I had no choice but to pay for the two hours she worked on my hair (including a wash and DC). MY hubby didn't speak to me for days. He (like you) couldn't believe I paid someone money to *** my hair up.)

Needless to say, her promise that it'd get better never materialized. Instead my hair looked just as ugly the next day and the day after and I am sure if I hadn't untwirled that mess, I'd probably have ended up with locs coz it felt like it was matting.

Well, I usually go about 3 months between relaxers and at the end of those three months, I just air dry and wear my hair curly. Super Sculpt controls some of the frizz and crazy curls. It does make hair a little hard if you slater it on though.

Nonie I already was hesitant to go to "natural hair stylists" but your story will remind me definitely never to put my hair in anybody else's hands unless I'm getting braids/extensions

Actually the Super Sculpt is a liquidy gel, not a foam, that's another product. I used to use the super sculpt as my only gel before i stopped using all cones. There are a few water soluble cones in it but YES, my hair loved it. I still have a huge bottle just in case.
