I'm not officially joining but I just wanna say thanks Adora for reminding us of the glory of glycerine based moisturizers! This is gonna be the KEY to keeping my mom and brother's fros soft supple and moisturized! glycerine based moisturizers are the truth!

So I had some curl activator gel lying around and decided to layer it with the eco styler gel I was gonna use to do my brother's second set of comb coils and it made them sooooo much softer and moisturized! They didn't feel as stiff.... it was awesome and they came out even better then his last set....sooooo exciting.

[I Am So Blessed]

oh, BTW, im still detangling it, its been an hour already, i have soo much more hair to go thru!!!!!, i dont even think im texlaxed anymore , dam. and i want to be texlaxed!!<-whining

 

[I Am So Blessed]

*adora thinks back* oh yeaaaa, i just did that heavy A$$ protein treatment the other night , could that be why??????????

i strand tested for the fun of it, and the hair took so much force in order to break!

 

[Firstborn2]

currently detangling hair half hour already gone, still not done

I thought detangling would be easier for you now that you are texlaxed.

[Firstborn2]

[I Am So Blessed]

firstborn, remember when i cut/trimed my hair? i dont get it...... my hair is growing too fast!! im not complainingGGGGG!! i think i will be HL by the end of the summer!!

 

[I Am So Blessed]

so what are you going to do BC,lol?

hell to the no!!! lol , ima keep growing untill i really get tired of it, wich will be never i hope, but this detangling is somthing elseeee, if you tried to run you fingers thru my hair right now you'd like like .

and then be like "what to doo, what to do with this"....:scratchch ahahah but seriouly i did cry while detangling once

that was like 5 months ago, i sat on my bed like as i cut a knot out

 

[I Am So Blessed]

ok ok im done detangling becuase its fricken impossible to 100% detangle. my hair is 65% detangled right now and i dont currr no more!!! ill finish it tomorrow!! does anybody else have a hard time detangling??? id really like to know, does your hair start to dread up 30mins after you detangle??

 

[I Am So Blessed]

and somtimes i get mad becase I didnt start my hair journey sooner, like before highschool, lol in HS i was hummmmm APL i think. if i only knew about black hair care then. my hair would be below butt cheek lenth, BBC-below butt cheak. ahaha,

[I Am So Blessed]

im about to pull up a hair chart and start making this length t-shirt

 

[OhSoOthentik]

You make long hair seem so fun and carefree.

Lol. This is why I am not in a rush to grow my hair super long. I am appreciating the TWA stage because right now detangling takes only about 30 seconds (if that). Honestly as soon as I put my head under the shower my hair feels like butter. Detangling is a breeze!

yes i knoww, i actually had a twa when i was in 8th grade i had about an inch of hair.

 

[silenttullip]

omg u have sooooo much length I'm only sl when stretched but when I detangle It's frustrating sometimes cause its ready to "dred" so fast. lol I have to add more water and conditioner for assistance

@Adora...aren't you tired?

I'd like to say thanks for this challenge, too...my mom used to have a Wave Nouveau so I remember the SCurl in the bathroom in my family's home but I would never have thought of using it on "un-jherri'd" hair. Anyways, I started to use the SCurl this week and usually I have hair all over my bathroom floor (no matter what I do...I thought I just shed hair a lot) but NO...yesterday when I washed my hair, I had minimal breakage, minimal shedding...when I detangled, there was hardly anything...I combed this morning and the comb was basically hair free. Thank you so much! You and your "juice" are going to save my hair!

Sorry for the testimony, ya'll...

dang..... see this is what im talking about!!

my hair wants to dread soo much that it said "fug that texlax, im reverting" and thats what it did, im kinky all over again

 

[silenttullip]

Lol yea I think our hair is kind of similar I've never texlaxed but I thought about it and then I remembered how when I'd get a total perm it would last maybe 6 weeks before it was like "u think u can straighten me??? muahauhauhauha" even right after the process it wasn't ever bone straight. I don't know some of our hair just fights the flava lol

aahahahahahaha, exactly!!!!!!!


and i texlaxed on 02/16, and look what date it is, 6 weeks later like you said wow

 

[Eritreladiee]

I never thought to just use the mist alone. I too mix the mist with scurl, water and aloe vera. So far so good.



I paid $7.99 no tax for a bottle of scurl that size. Where are you getting it from Eritreladiee?

i got it at zellers square one, i think i saw the s curl for 7.99 as well. i never used s curl or wave nouveau so i just bought based on ingredients and the s curl had mineral oil and petrolatum so i decided to cough up the extra for the wave nouveau. is the bbs store letting the tax slide if you pay cash or something? where is that store? lol! i might have to go there and buy in bulk to last me this challenge. a 250ml/8.5oz bottle is not gonna last long if i'm applying every day. or do you know if they sell large bottles in the bss?

 

[F8THINHIM]

Count me in!!! I'm in the weave it up challenge, but will be applying underneath. I remember when I had a Jheri Curl back in the day and I did get the best and fastest growth/retention even after a few months!
Thanks OP!

 

[liloneonpc]

I have read the whole thread, this is amazing. My question is I am in braids do I mix the cfcg with water to make a spray or do I just apply it as is to the scalp and roots?

 

[silenttullip]

that's a good question I'd probably do the water mix because when glycerin is mixed with water it doesn't try to pull moisture from anywhere else, it's already all nice and happy if that makes sense.

Yes, I had a curl back in the day also and I can testify that the curl activator gel and the spray goes hand in hand in retaining moisture. I too had amazing hair growth from a TWA to APL within like 2 years.
Since transitioning, I have been using the gel underneath my Ecostyler gel. I get great waves that are moisturized and not hard. Since wearing my Senegalese twist and this challenge, I've been using my other juices. I like to mix the CFC, Wave Nouveau and S Curl together in a spray bottle then add a few drops of peppermint essential oil. It's super juicy juice!! I love it!
Thanks for the challenge Adora!
