Btw, I'm using this pic below, from after my hair cut last weekend, as my starting pic for this challenge. My goal is to not update my fotki, or do a length check, until this challenge is over.

Hello Ladies, After some thought, I would like to join your challenge. I've been test driving the S-curl for the past week. Must admit, I wasn't too impressed. I have used SCurl before during my stretches on my roots only. Just cant get use to the wetness. I was finding that I still needed to follow it up with a more emollient moisturizer. Wet just doesn't do it for me.

BTW, back in the day, I had a Jheri curl, but even then, I wore mine dry, with vitapoint instead of activator.

I was going to skip this challenge but found myself at the drug store and decided to pick up the CFCG, since that's suppose to be thicker. My hair was much, much happier with this product. :grin: Moisturized not wet!!! Potential staple.

Thanks Adora, I don't think I would ever have tried it otherwise. So add me to the list. Will try to post starting pc tomorrow

You know I find it so amazing how everyone can have different result with the same product. When I use S-Curl, my hair is soft and moisturized, but not wet. I am glad you found a keeper for yourself. :grin:
 
Semo, I know you just cut your hair. Are you going to grow it back?

Yes. I am definitely wanting to grow my hair back to WL (and beyond). I didn't intend to get so much cut this time around (you know how that goes).

I even purchased some hair vitamins to help with growth. I'm optimistic that I will be back at my former length before long. My hair grows pretty well on its own. But considering the vitamins, and that Spring/summer gives me a growth spurt, I'm really hoping to recover the length soon. :yep:

Tried to stretch the curls out :spinning::spinning::spinning:




:kiss3: Gorgeous hair and the color is sooooo pretty!!!
 
@ Cuteness, thanks for the compliment. I am not in the challenge though. I do use Donnie's softening lotion regularly, but the products in this challenge make my hair sticky and or dry. I enjoy the posts in here, so I am a lurker I guess. ;0)
 
Still juicing with my braid spray. I'm ready to try a different juice, but I've got way too many products to buy 1 before using all of another one. :ohwell:

Is anybody using the juice that has glycerin and protein listed on the front it (one of the care free ones in the gold bottle)? I was wondering if I should try this to prevent moisture overload.

The one in the spray bottle? I have these two:

It's kinda light and moisturizing

Still juicin. :3 My hair looked so awesome, after I left a bit of condish, put a bit of gel on and went back under the shower and then SHOOK like a wet dog? LOL. My hair was wash and go hang down wearable!

Still not bold enough to wear down yet, when I get a bit more length! :e Then I came out the shower and did my spritz.
:D :D!
 
@Chelz is the s-curl gel moisturizing?

Yeah it is. To me the consistency is very light compared to other gels. The consistency is similar to my CFC juices :grin::grin::grin: The first time I sniffed it I thought it smelled kinda manly:strong::strong:
but I didnt notice that when I used it. Here are the ingredients...



Deionized Water (Aqua) , Glycerin , Propylene Glycol , Polyquaternium-11 , Panthenol (Provitamin B5) , Hydrolyzed Collagen , Carbomer , Triethanolamine , Imidazolidinyl Urea , Methylparaben , Benzophenone-4 , Fragrance (Parfum) , Blue 1 (CI 42090)

It's like a jelly juice or a juicy gel...:look:

:lachen::lachen::lachen: Try it out and let me know what you think!

:orders:Welcome to the Juice reggierisk!!!!!

:flowers::yahoo::woohoo2::yahoo::flowers:

....................:welcome2:
 
So after watching this thread reach damn near 60 pages and almost 200 challengers (can't wait for the reveal!) i tried some juice....OMG! Who knew the magic that I would find in Care Free Curl Gold?? IMMEDIATE non-greasy moisture.
I would have never bought this product myself but my Mama (who is clueless about hair care but a true PJ) has a bunch of products under bathroom sink that she's only used 1 or 2X.

We'll see how this goes....
 
And, juicing updates:

- I tried a higher concentration of glycerin in my homemade juice- no bueno. Was more moisturizing with less. I'm going back to less & adding a touch of rosewater this week.

- I tried not using so much coconut oil as adora suggested in OP (I'm talkin' boutcha like yer not here!). It helped at first b/c I was using waaaaay too much and that was why my hair was getting really dirty just a few days post wash. But I discovered I need a little bit. I am going to keep prepooing with it, but I am going to try just a little to seal ONE day after washing, not every day.
 
Still juicing strong, i love the effect my juice mix has on my wash and go, so soft and ...juicy lol ok i will stop saying that

I can't juice anymore. My hair is feeling too crispy. So, last night I got tired of the dryness (yes, the dryness is from juicing:eek2:) and put some ORS Olive Oil lotion in my hair. I promise I heard it exhale. It's actually soft now. So, I tried but I'm done.

Lesson learned: don't backtrack on things that stopped working a while ago just because they are working for so many now. I'm just happy I didn't get another bottle.


Blessings to you all.


And for the record, I was using s-curl. However, I get the same effect with all juiices (Sta sof fro, proline, CFCG). The ingredients are basically the same anyway. I just prefer the fragrance of s-curl to the others.
