LoL Say yes to the juice!! iLove it =) I've been juicing and I still have breakage.. I think its lack of protein.. I have to do a hardcore treatment every 4 weeks I think bec 6 "& 8 weeks is too long.. =( so when I take these micro/mini twists out I'll be doing 1 but I think my aphogee mite be old =/


I also need to step up my protein. I'm unsure if I need to do it more often or change to a hardcore protein treatment. I'll share my results.

Yay :clap: found yo way back to the thread, now I can remove you off the Milk Carton Have Ya Seen'em List:missing:. Glad you are still juicing, sorry about the breakage but you know very well that you must stay up on your protein....I do a mild protein once a week but of course I'm not protein sensitive:look:.
 
Thanks!!! I am SOOOOOO ready for this to be over. A sistah is tired of writing research papers :ohwell:. However, I HAVE to get the juicing in NO MATTER WHAT because my retention and moisture level has been on point. I mean my hair has NEVER in life been this soft and manageable. Besides I haven't really looked at my hair since I washed it back in March for my length check and my hair was on my neck. Well today after coming home I was looking at my hair after I took it down and I stretched a section of hair down and it touched my shoulder. I almost passed out. The juice ain't no joke I tell you. :grin: No telling how long my hair will be by June when I straighten it.


Hey Shoe:wave:, Congratulations on your graduation, how excited you must be!!! Glad you are still getting your juice on inbetween the studying, The Juicers are a dedicated bunch:grin: Imma pour out a lil juice for ya:beer2:

An avocado and yogurt hair mask is a protein treatment...though you might end up with avocado chunks in your hair...:lachen: Here's a vid,,how to make it then apply it...:grin:

This is how I cleanse my hair, Avocado, coconut milk and honey or avocado, coconut milk honey and egg. I bought a personal size blender from Walmart $11 so I could mix the ingredients, it gives me a whipped cream consistency and I don't have any strings from the avocado left in my hair. But I love how my hair feels afterwards.

:shocked: I like how you stole all my top secret ingredients!! :lol: minus the butter... Girl we use about the same thing except I'm DCing with it, not cleansing.

Those avocadoes in the grocery were so soft that I kept accidentally poking holes in them with my fingers. :blush:
 
Better than ApHogee 2 min? Well idk...but it is an alternative to it, I think you should try it, it feels sooooo good to have an all natural homemade mix in your hair! :grin:


I do love using natural products when I can. I do believe there is a point when too much damage has been done for some natural products to repair it. Once I feel it's under control and back in balance, I can use natural products.

How often do you use this? Is it cost effective? Do you make large batches and store it or do you make single servings?
 
@MyFriend.. please do.. I'd like to hear abt it

@Chelz.. thanks for sharing that!!

Sereca helped me go totally natural, she had posted a blog at the beginning of the year I believe. I was already trying some stuff but my whole reggie wasn't all natural until I came across her blog. I actually like using the stuff out the kitchen. I was 100% natural products until Adora got me hooked on the juice. So as of right now the only commerical product I use is The Juice and lawd help me if I ever come across the Skala Line cuz yes I do want to try that line:grin:.

Hmmm maybe you need a harder protein...I hate to hear that you aren't retaining. I know The Juice has been good to me as far as retention goes.

Well currently I'm DCing twice on the weekends, back to back,and then again in the middle of the week with cholesterol on dry hair...So I would say as much as once a week for an avocado treatment, I havent used the yogurt with it though. So i'm getting a little protein from using the avocado. I wouldnt make large batches simply because it is better off to use it when fresh and also some of the ingredients might spoil after awhile...I just mix a single serving in a disposable cup by taking all the contents out of the avocado except for the big ole seed and dumping it in the cup, then I added a little butter that I melted in the microwave, some coconut milk/cream, and some honey. I dont measure anything and I just stir it up with a spoon in the cup. One avocado should be plenty. :grin:

So Chelz are you discarding the remaining coconut milk? For me when I open up a can of coconut milk, I divide it into 5 1/3 cups and put them in freezer bags and freeze that way I can use what I need with out wasting the milk. Also with the avocados I buy them on sale so I cut them in half and freeze as well, still getting the same bene:look:.

Well I'm too lazy to do all of that now, the coconut milk was in the fridge and as long as it doesnt stink, I really dont care...:lachen: Next time i'm just gonna get coconut cream so that it wont be so liquidy..I actually bought 4 avocadoes and I'll probably eat the other 3. :lick:

I was using distilled water, but I wasn't having good retention with that.

I do hot oil treatments with coconut oil or JBCO
I do tea rinses which I love every week
At first I was doing BS rinses like every 2wks, now I rarely do it, it's been over a month now.

I've juiced Papaya and diluted it with water and honey, the verdict is still out on that, papaya is a protein and I've only did it once:ohwell:.

The Sea Kelp I really like that, I just have to order some more. It cleansed and conditioned my hair.

And what did you style your hair with? you needed to be stylin with the long aid :rofl: Juice is the truth.

See i managed to make this about the juice. :look:
 
Are you back to using the Seaweed soap?

Yeah I've been using it off and on. I like the seaweedy-ness of it. And the little scrub action going on. Lol SO and the kids are tired of being your guinea pigs and testing out new products. They just dont know what they are missing! :grin: Ummm this hair mask smells strongly of avocadoes...:look: that avocado was a bad mamma jamma.
