How did you style her hair when it was only 1 1/2 inch long?I see you used rubber bands but did you simply put rubber bands around it or was it braided?

Hi! I parted her hair in very tiny parts and corn rowed it and put black rubber bands on the ends. It was the only thing I could do. I did that for a few months until I could fit barrettes on them.

Also, please note that I renewed my subscription after 7-8 years of absence because of this thread. I remember when you were relaxed and now wanted to see your natural results. Also, I was the one who initially( I think) proposed the Jheri curl juice challenge years ago to you because I knew you were a regular user( with your funny self!). ...Please don't take that the wrong way,,,,you are the most entertaining one I :flowers:remember , lol.

:meme::sneakyhug:Oh my gosh thank you so much this is *ultimate flattery!* :giveheart: I was/am funny and that is a super complement! And I think you for proposing the Challenge, it wouldn't have existed if not for your suggestion! :rose::rose::rose: And for you to mention that you rejoined because of this thread really warms my heart with such emotions more than words can tell.

As you can see I am still a standing by the juice. "Live by the juice, die by the juice." That was the only reqirment of the challenge :lachen::drunk:. It was so fun back then wasn't it? I always think about them days on here.

I lost my way and relaxed my then WL Hair and fell off the juice and lost all that growth. So now I'm back in action. This time I will follow this thing through and make it to Hip/tail length.

I so appreciate this and thanks a million.:runninghug:
 
Girl... when I tell you my hair has been such a dry disaster that I was going to relax after I had this baby. I live in an insanely dry climate came across your thread the other day and decided to try the curl activator ( I already sealed with blue magic). When I tell you my hair has been moist since Thursday morning (haven't added anything else) I tell no lies. Granted I'm currently not home right now I'm praying this is the case next weekend when I get back. Either way to know I have redemption when I travel is good enough for me and may save me from the creamy crack.

Your hair is absolutely lovely thanks a million times over for sharing.

Yay!! I'm excited that it's working for you! Please keep us posted on your journey and "love peace & Hair grease". :afropick:

My hair stays moist all week long and I think you'll get the same results.

Thank you I did! I took a week off work lol. Today was my first day back after ten days. And my co-workers sang "Happy Birthday" and my supervisor baked me a huge cheese cake that was out of this world! I finally saw "Black Panther". I bought new clothes and shoes. And got to lay around in my pajamas for a few days. I'll call it a good week lol.

^drools^ your hair is beautiful and I am sooooooooooooo glad you started this thread. Feel free to show us more styles, texture shots, in between styling photos, whatever, please!

Also I think I need to get on the curl activator band wagon. Do you notice any change in your hair’s response to the curl activator during colder weather?

I got on the curl juice bandwagon as well :lachen:

My twist on it is to layer a leave in conditioner underneath (I try to use glycerin free, if not no biggie), then put the curl juice on top. Sometimes I’ll add a layer of oil on top or butter if I remember. My new growth stays soft all day, sometimes two days in a row. I’m used to spraying daily though lol.
 
@I Am So Blessed,

Just got all my Blue Magic grease and CFCG sprays and curl activators to last me a few months. My hair is shorter now so they should last hopefully through this coming November. My hair is loving this new regimen.

Oh by the way, I could not find Hollywood Beauty products here in the Bahamas but I ordered my HB cholesterol online from www.pharmapacks.com. Got 3 jars of this since I have a ton of other DCs in my stash to use up.

Man... I saw this thread had been bumped and was expecting a September reveal!

@I Am So Blessed I have much thinner hair than you will the curl activator spray work better for me than the Gold?

I know you didn't ask me but I bought them all, the regular and gold lines. They both have a hair spray and a curl activator. Either one you decide to use, the spray is lighter than the curl activator but to me just as effective.

The spray also helps as a curl refresher when I wear my hair in a wash and go - moist shiny hair for days.

The activator is simply a little heavier, wetter, if that makes sense. The grease keeps the hair moisturized a lot longer than any other sealer I've ever used.

This regimen is definitely a keeper for me. I just wished I knew about it from the inception of my hair journey. I would have been a lot richer :lol:.

I was in Walmart searching for this thread so I could buy some of the products lol. Tgin honey miracle mask deep conditioner is good but the price is ridiculous. If queen Helene can do the same thing for only $5.22, I'm all for it.

@icsonia22, did you ever try the Queen Helene Cholesterol and if so, how did you find it to work for you?

@ItsMeLilLucky,
I tried the bolded after my wash and DC last weekend and it worked swimmingly. Another keeper. I used SSI Cranberry Cream leave-in.

My hair felt silky soft for days. And here I was thinking that this new natural hair journey was gonna be rough. But nope. It's easy as pie.

OK... what's a good cheap leave-in to use?
 
HappilyLiberal said:
About the same as the other products on her list. I don't mind paying more, but I figure if I can get something cheaper that works, go for it!

I used to use this

But it’s easier for me to find this:

I get the second one from Walgreens. About $11-13

Yeah!! :yay::yay: to this whole post! The regimen is a keeper. Grease is the best sealant hands down. I do not grease my scalp, but my ends and strands. Grease holds all that moisture goodness in for a week or more.
