Chelz you keep me laughing:giggle:. I've juiced about 3x already today, the wind is kicking hard today. Sure wish I had a soul glo pik:look:
 
I use S-Curl and put some Eco-styler gel on top and got some really soft waves and coilies. I consider myself a 4b. So some of you ladies with looser texture may get some good definition this way.

Just thought I would share.:drunk:

Happy juicing, Everyone!:drunk:
 
Just juiced! After my overnight DC, it feels really good.:yep: I'm trying to use up my stash so I can experiment with other juices. I've used S-curl for years and Adora convinced me to try CFCG. I never realized there was so many juices until this challenge. It's a good thing.
 
I forgot to add that Big Lots has Right On Curl Activator/Moisturizer for 2.00. I bought the last 6 bottles Sunday.I'm not sure if all Big Lots carries this product, but I wiped the shelves out along with a Skala conditioner haul. I took pics of the haul..I bought 25 bottles of Skala, but my daughter claimed the other half...lol !
 
Been juicing and so far so good. At first it seemed like the wave nouveau made my hair harder, because it doesn't go on as soft as other leave-ins I use, but it's kept my hair moisturized. And I have a feeling that it'll only get better as the weather heats up. When I'm done this bottle I'm probably gonna try some other juice.

eta: and I'll use Marc Anthony's curl defining lotion on my edges to help smooth them down. It's good stuff-- no alcohol, no parabens, etc.

My new love affair with the juice

Ok, so I'm unofficially in on the challenge, because I loves me some oils :grin: and I am still trying to establish a solid regime. When I was natural the first time, I remember using smooth and shine curl activator gel with good results. I purchased a big jar of Long Aid Curl Activator gel and tried it out as soon as I got home. I instantly fell on love. I mean gaga, head over heels in love. My hair has been soft, moist and supple ever since.

Here's a pic of it 50% dry with the Long Aid:



I actually did an updo that lasted 5 days. It could've easily lasted longer, but I get the twitches if I can't see my curlies for too long :lachen:.



When I took my hair down, it felt like fluffy cotton candy :lick:. Even my fiancee couldn't believe it. I held off on my DC just to leave it out so we could play in it.



I've actually tried quite a few juices in the past, but none worked perfectly by itself. I've visited HS14in1, Wave Nouveau, and S Curl. I picked up some Care Free Curl Gold yesterday and am trying that out with a full head baggy. I'll post pics and results tomorrow.

Girl shut up!!! I have a Big Lot 2 blocks from my house, I'm going to check it out after work tomorrow. This is one of the Juices I wanted to try, thank you...
 
@NNA your hair is gorgeous, but I feel you on the long aid gel, I think I like it better then my beloved S-curl. You should join the challenge, plenty of us are using oils...Just don't tell Adora,lol..

Afrikurl and baby Afrikurl updat coming STAT!

This weekend I put kinky twists in my hair and liberally applied long aid to each section. I have been spraying with my home made mist of water, AVJ and lots of glycerine.

Baby Afrikurl is rockin new box braids on hair that also had a generous helping of long aid. Last night before she went to bed. I told her that her hair was pretty. She said kinda like a question... Beads? I didn't put any this week. I will put a little more long aid and seal her ends with shea butter, then bead her up at my little hair princess' request.

checking in...yesterday i used Let's jam styling gel w/ my scurl and my curls were so purrrrty, but I didn't like how my hair felt.

I cowashed my hair this morning and I'm dc'ing right now. Is there something I can mix w/ my gel to make it not feel so buildupie (yeah I made that word up)???

Long aid works wonderfully with Eco styler gel you can do it on wet or dry hair. I prefer dry. You hair will have definition and hold. It won't be as ssoft as the juice alone but not as hard as withthe gel alone.

Wow your hair is beautiful :drunk:did you do the twist yourself?
 
Do you think mixing ic gel and coconut oil into my scurl would be ok? I want to be able to spray all my product in my hair while in the shower still so i can have more of a wash and go...my curls are prettier when my hands don't touch them
 
Hey everybody. Just checking in on you all before I go off to Psych class. I am still juicing my twist with S Curl. Gonna try to keep them in until Sunday. We will see how well that goes. That means I will have to skip my dc on Wednesday night.
 
I juiced last night, dampened my hair in the shower and did a braidout. My hair was very full today when I unbraided my hair - I'm shocked!!

Also my hair isn't sticky, frizzy or weighted down. I didn't have to add any oil - just fluff and go. I'm happy!!
 
i just have a quick question for all the jheri juicers out there?

does it give good slip? like if i was to put it in damp hair will it be easy to comb through ?
 
Ok so I just took my scurl and split it in half and in one bottle i added evoo = ic gel and in the other I added evoo and distilled water. The gel one is for in the shower and the on w/o gel is for when I don't cowash.
 
Ok I kind of "lazed up" and just spray and wrap my afro at night rather than sleeping in twists... does it count?

I'm also going to switch from the traditional S Curl to the 360 styling...

I like the smell alot more than the dark bottled S Curl but I think they are just about the same.
 
Are you going to have a part 2 to this challenge? I'm currently in two strand twists and will be taking them down the first week of May. I'm 10 months into my transition and will be experimenting with twist outs and braids out (I have no idea what my hair type is yet). I will also be attempting a personal no heat challenge for myself. Hopefully it lasts:)

I definitely plan on purchasing Care Free Curl. I know you don't use oils, but I just purchased Boundless Tresses several days ago. Is it okay to use Care Free Curl once a day and BT 2-3 times a week? Don't want anymore products going down the drain.

Thanks and good luck to everyone. Can't wait to start juicing with the rest of you!
 
@xyra. You may want to consider juicing while you're still in your twist, several members do. It's supposed to help keep them moisturized and some other benefits too which i dont remeber at this time. I'm getting a sew in this week and will still juice my braided hair.
 
Checking in, still using the S Curl everyday! Hair is pretty good at holding the moisture that it's providing and the moisture is making it more soft and the ends stronger.
 
I finished my CFC, so I just cracked open Hawian Silky 14 in 1, and I La la la LOVE it!!!!!! Its thick and so very moisturizing.
 
Finally got the soapy smelling 360 Stylin' , yum!

Are you ladies doing anything to counteract moisture overload?

I'm going to do a Keratin conditioner under my steamer this weekend (this is my first week juicing).
