That's why i make my own juice, MondoDismo. the curl activators worked for a while but then my hair starting feeling 'different'.

i mix glycerin with olive and castor oil with some fragrance.

it's good all year round :yep:
 
I went to my fave BSS last week and scoured the aisles for all the latest products and read about all the ingredients in CFC and Wave Nouveau, as well as HS 14N1, which I'm not familiar with. I decided to go with a bottle of HS, and ladies the first time I used it, I FELL IN LOVE! It doesn't smell bad, the price is good, and I love the ingredients. I didn't have to dilute it. I spray all my Jheri juices on my hands first (if they're not diluted, or directly on hair if diluted), then rub hands together and apply.

I did that with the HS, and my waves was poppin! This is a keeper for me...my hair is still soft and moisturized DAYS LATER. So, I am using S-Curl Text. Spray (blue & gray bottle) with some oils & condish mixed in, and mildly diluted with water (so it's not too thick), and HS 14-N-1 straight. I apply er' 2-3 days along wit my other sprays n stuff (rosewater, hair tea, etc). My hair is so wet and almost drips (though it's braided when I apply the products), but it sure is healthy, shiny, soft, and breakage-free!

OT: I was interested to find a book in the library called, "Hair Story: Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America." I didn't know the original "Jheri Curl" was invented by a White boy in the Midwest, and mimicked by a man who came out with the "Tomorrow Curl," which was later called a "California Curl!" It also went on to talk about the inventors of CFC and Wave Nouveau systems and hair care products. From pre-slavery (i.e. while we were still in Africa) to year 2000 A.D., it covers everything in Black hair. I would recommend every Black woman read it. I can't put it down I'm learning so much! Wow, ya learn something new er'day. :)

I'm so glad I started this challenge. I had no idea what to do with my hair and stumbled upon this right after picking up Scurl from Sally's to try. I love my hair...yall

Thanks for the suggestion! I just "ordered" it from the library. Can't wait to read it!
 
How much are you all paying to get your juice fix? :lick: :grin: Here in Canada, land of the overpriced regardless of how well the dollar is doing, I pay $7.50-$8 for the 12 oz bottle. :wallbash: Crazy since I go through a bottle so fast.

But it's so worth it, I can't get over how SOFT it is! I keep running my hands over my hair and then mess up my keyboard! :lachen::lachen:

Adorax2, nice cut girl!! It looks super full and you'll get that length back in no time!
 
OMG.....I do NOT feel like reading pages and pages to catch up...somebody give me a brief summary of whats been going on??

I'm doing my S-Curl ya'll....im trying to get used to using it on the length of my hair......i find it works pretty nice when in im braiding for a braidout or a french braid.....i tried doing two french braids....but forget that bc when i tried to do the second one...i ran out of patience and nearly threw a tantrum :tantrum::hot::pullhair:....i got SOOOOO mad....:grin:...so i just did some plaits for a braidout....got up today and took them out...it didnt turn out like i wanted.....so i just bunned it up with a Flexi-8.

I think i'm just gonna stick to bunning for the next couple of weeks until i stabilize.....my girl Enyo understands...(HEY GUUURL:wave:)

Hey Adora-squared!!!!....i know u said we can't use oil.....buuuuuttttttt:D

I used oil...Proclaim Natural 7 Olive Oil....after using Scurl on my length...this helps get rid of that slightly stiff feeling some ladies might be getting....but it still works wonders on my ng!

Have that book and loved reading it as well!
 
I made my own juice this morning. It's about 20% glycerin, 80% water, plus a few drops of Morrocan Oil. My hair has never felt so smooth and hydrated. I did a cowash this morning to reset my curls. I had combed them out the other day and it was a mess. I had to take back the Hawaiian Silky. It was too oily.
 
My sister came by my house today and I told her about this thread. I got a hold of my 9 year old niece and co-washed, sprayed some s-curl & care free curl and her curls came out beautiful. I told my sister that I didn't want this stuff to work LOL but it does! She said that she's going to buy some care free curl too.
 
DH is out with his friend so baby afrikurl and I are all juiced up with the conditioning caps on.
A small update... My rollerset was only cute for a few hours... All the moisture made it revert. I cornrowed my hair later that night. Still rocking those and juicing regularly. I just got some knock off setting lotion from the dollar tree. It's called Ultra body. I'll give it a shot the next time I want to do a rollerset, cause Adora said that she uses lotta body with her juice.
 
Hmm, this thread seems slow.... I hope everyone's having a good weekend!!! :)

I juiced today! I didn't spray liberally like I usually do though because I flat ironed on Thursday. I want to see how long I can make it last. I sprayed in my hands and ran it through my hair. Then, I added coconut oil to my ends and tied with a scarf. My hair's happy :yep:
 
I'm not going to say I'm in the challenge... but I purchased the CFC moisturizer ... a small one... it looks like it has the right consistency... i didn't care for the other two - the "instant activator" and "activator".

Has anyone else used this?

come on girl and joined us :grin:! you know you want to :look:/

i use the cfcg and i just put some in my hand and rub it on my hair. from roots to ends :yep:, my hair keeps well moisturized all day
 
I'm sitting here at work mad cause I aint got no juice with me. I left my durn bottle of juice at home!


That's aiight tho! As soon as I get home.. I'm going to twist and twirl.. do the jherri curl.....:spinning:

Hold up... this is off topic, but I'm mad for real... this lady at work just asked about my hair and stood next to me and :fart:. It took everything I had....:fistshake:. Lil nasty.....

Anyhoo, I'll be juicin when I get home!:grin:

:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen: oh my stomach hurts cuz i cant laugh no more :lachen::grin:
 
I am unofficially in! (I suck at challenge follow-ups. Pics, updates, etc.) Thanks again Adora for answering my questions.

I started with the juice this week. I purchased the CFC gold. I guess I really had some pretty negative assumptions about the activator because I was expecting a hot, greasy mess. I was pleasantly surprised by how non-greasy it is.

I am having some trouble though with this strange build-up. It looks like little pieces of rolled up gel in my hair. I just took my hair apart from a twist out so I can wash it, and I have to say that it VERY soft and had few tangles. I love that aspect because I usually have a much more difficult time taking my hair down. I definitely can see the early benefits, but I can't deal with the gel rolls. Any suggestions? Note: I am using oil to because my hair needed a little more "weight" than the CFC provides. Could this cause the trouble?

Thanks!

:band2::band2::band2::orders:welcome!


and i dont use oil for that reason. thats why i put in the rules "no oil" but then changed my minds becuase everyone loves their oil, for alot of women, the oil is great :yep:, i wash my hair twice or 3 times a week anyway so this does not happen to me because of the wash.

i hope this helps. im glad that your hair is well moisturized too :grin:. i can never go withouth cfcg or illl be dry :lachen: thanks sooo much for joining!!!!!!!
 
Ok I need help since I'm a juice newbie. I have dc in my hair that I'm about to rinse out. Do I just spray the scurl and go after I rinse my hair? Also I cowash quite frequently is that ok or do I need to chill on that? My hair does fine without cowashing daily I just like washing my hair...lol


i usually wait untill my hair drys a little and then juice, but to each his own :yep:. you have to do what you feel is right for your hair, and co washing is just fine:yep:.. thanks so much for joining!!
 
So im thinking about trying CFCG after i finish S-curl...i can't get down with the S-Curl on my length and ends....but it does WONDERS for my newgrowth. I need to find a juice that's not so sticky...more of an oily type.

Is there one like that?
