I'm glad you asked. I usually use Africal Royale and I switched to African Pride a couple of weeks ago. When I took my braids out, you wouldn't even know that I had used any braid spray. I might as well have been spraying water on my hair. I'm not happy about this because I like my braids to be moisturized. It also made taking the braids out more difficult. Thumbs down for African Pride.
