Is the brand of activator you use sticky? I'm thinking that if so, it is because of the amount of glycerine in them.
I have used Care Free Curl dry look, Soft Sheen (purple/gold bottle) dry look, Long 'Aid, and my fav hawaiian silky dry and they all have a degree of stickiness although they all work wonderfully to keep my hair moisturized.
I think that I am going to add my own little concoction of shea/olive/jojoba in addition to Adrienne's idea of gel to the activator and see if that helps.
Any other suggestions?
