I'm currently using a simple mix I made at home:
50% Water
50% Vegetable Glycerin
I put it in a fine mist spray bottle & shake it up before applying ... it's been working for the past few days...but it's also been very humid in NYC with all this rain .. I'll be keeping a close eye on how my hair feels when the humidity drops....
hope this helps
Right. Maybe look into this and let us know. I'm sure a lot of companies follow these threads to see what they need to mark up, quick. Stock up on yo juice girl, there's bout to be a shortage. Summer is coming too,
All these heads will be thristy for the JUICE!!!!!

What style are you wearing? I wear a LF with plaits. I marinate the plaits. I never have to take them down for the juice. I do take them down when I DC.

Usually I would have taken them down by now. So I am trying to figure out if I want to re twist, or take these down and dc then re twist, or what. I dunno....between school and work, I would have to find the time.

Thank you so much! When I wear it big and picked out, can't NOBODY tell me nothing.
So I'm currently finishing up my D.C. Wow. This juicce is the truth! I had 3 day hair, you guys, I NEVER HAVE THREE DAY HAIR! If I didn't get the urge to D.C, I probably could have gone all week with that puff!
And it greatly reduced the hair I would see afterward!

I read through a few pages of this thread and couldn't take anymore, and I'm a patient reader.
Ladies are you alright?
Haven't any of you read through other older threads with ladies experiencing product overload - glycerine intolerance? Glycerine can have adverse effects to the strands as well when overly used. For example, when there is no low/no humidity for the glycerine to extract from the atmosphere, it begins to extract moisture from the strands.
I'm not downing your party, but this thread is missing something (from the here and there pages I've read). Generally ladies do ALOT and I mean alot of research sometimes ad nauseam: ingredients posting, ingredient interaction risks, ingredient effectiveness - esp. for hair type; and this goes on in the challenge threads too.
I guess Grand Puba comes to mind right now.
and no I will not say "long live the juice," LOL!! - but I love it for you if you are keeping your length.
I will let you get back to doing the "running man"

Sign me up! I will be using Hawaiian Silky though...
You make some very valid points. I was wondering how people would incorporate "The Juice" in differing atmospheric conditions?
Hi HijabiFlygirl
Thanks for making us aware of some of the things you mentioned. I think the bolded goes back to each individual knowing or learning their hair. I live in a very dry state, however, I wear a baggy under my LF, which helps to hold in moisture, I sleep with a humidifer, and I'm in a wet sauna 3-4x per week.
I think there has been enough challenges on this board that if anyone was unsure they would surely speak up
LHCF women do not hold back Would you like to join us?

I'll be increasing my protein usage to counteract the possibility of moisture overload, notice that Adora's DC is primarily protein based so i think that's why she has been using the juice for so long with no adverse effects, that's probably something worth noting cause moisture overload is real. But no DC or anything has ever made my hair this 'juicy' so drip drip!!
Firstborn2
Stop frontin, you know me!
Right I use a protein once a wk, and my hair is doing just fine.
I live in a dry state and I have no problem with glycerin. Since I've been on this journey, I now read ingredients on products. Glycerin, urea, etc. are in a lot of cosmetics, hair and body products. Most moisturizing conditioners have humectants.
I hope everyone in the challenge will retain 1.5 inches by July 1, 2010. Some will, some won't, but we all tried and supported each other on this juice journey.

High Humidity
In high-humidity conditions, such as summertime in the southeastern United States or the tropics — where the relative humidity can easily reach or exceed 90 percent during the day — there is a tremendous amount of moisture in the air. This can be disastrous for curly hair. If curly hair is dry and damaged, it is very porous, and easily absorbs water from the air. In high-humidity conditions, this can cause curly hair to swell so much that cuticles are raised, making the surface of the hair very rough. These cuticles can then become entangled with cuticles of adjacent hairs and create a huge, tangled mass, which is prone to breakage. Also, curly hair swollen by excess water can lose its curl pattern, creating the dreaded summer frizz.
Low Humidity
In extremely low-humidity conditions, such as a cold, dry winter air, there is no appreciable amount of water in the air for the humectant to attract to the surface of the hair. In this particular type of climate, the best one can hope for with most traditional humectants is for them to prevent evaporation of water from the hair into the environment. Also, under these circumstances, there is some risk of the humectant actually removing moisture from the cortex of the hair itself, creating the problem it was intended to prevent.
That’s why in dry climates it is important to use conditioning products which rely on strong moisturizers rather than traditional humectants. However, it is interesting to note that new humectants are being developed that perform well even in low humidity (such as hydroxypropyl bis-hydroxyethyldimonium chloride and dihydroxypropyltrimonium
Effects of Relative Humidity on Hair and Humectants
The laws of thermodynamics have a daily influence on our hair. There is a driving force in nature for everything to be in a state of equilibrium. Molecules that exist in an area of higher concentration in contact with an area of lower concentration will move toward the area of lower concentration in an attempt to reach an equilibrium state where the concentration is the same for both areas. For example, dry hair exposed to a very humid environment will become gradually immersed with water molecules, as they diffuse from the air (an area of higher concentration) into the hair (an area of lower concentration). Curly hair is especially susceptible to this type of diffusion because it is naturally more porous than straight hair.
Hair exposed to very dry air without protection can lose its moisture, develop an unpleasant texture and can become unruly, flyaway, and frizzy. It also can become more prone to breakage and split ends. Conversely, unprotected exposure to excessive moisture and humidity can swell the hair cortex, causing the cuticle scales on the exterior of the hair shaft to become ruffled and giving hair a coarse, unpleasant texture. Clearly, neither scenario is desirable.
A baggy is not really gonna help you hold in moisture actually. Your hair will only soak up so much of anything, regardless of how much you put in it. Ever wonder why you can see the conditioner still sitting on top of your hair, and flowing down the drain? Hair gets what it needs and the rest is wasted.
Dont want to rain on the parade, so please drip on, just putting my thoughts out there.

Hiyab, you're right.
Everything must be done in moderation.
I have been using glycerine (mixed with other oils) for a few years and my hair has not suffered, in fact, it has thrived. I apply it after every co-wash, but i have cut back on co-washing to just twice a week.
I wouldn't use straight glycerine on my hair everyday and I have noticed my hair was feeling 'different' after prolonged use of care free curl.
however, I think my mix is wonderful for my hair.

Ladies and Soul Glo guy,
Is this what you guys are using? http://www.sallybeauty.com/curl-Activator/SOFTSH31,default,pd.html Its Care Free Curl. I want to know what I'm buying at Sally's. The ingredients look decent. The Soft Sheen Care Free Curl Curl Activator has mineral oil and I'm not sure if my hair will like that.

Yea Happily Me. That mix has worked for me in the past too. Last summer was great for a glycerine, rose water, JBCO, EVCO, EO mix. In the winter I can't do it though, it makes my hair feel "brittle" (for lack of a better term). I rely on water based leave-ins in the winter time. Even as a natural, I experienced the same thing.
