I am such a huge PJ ..I seriously need rehab :nono:

Yall know I've been having decent success w/ my homemade juice (50% water + 50% Vegetable Glycerin) but NOOOOOO curiosity got the best of me! I kept wondering whether my homemade juice was giving me the best possible results so I went in the BSS today and purchased:

S-curl No Drip Activator
Care Free Gold Activator
Worlds of Curls Comb Out Activator (Extra Dry)
Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 Activator
Long Aid Activator Gel (Extra Dry)

along with some other non-juice related goodies :grin:


So far I CAN'T STAND the scent of the S-Curl & the Long Aid! These companies really could put in some minimal effort with some yummy fragrance oils - I MEAN COME ON! I can't say they stink per se but they smell like ..well just not pleasant :nono: If I end up loving them I'll have to add some of my own fragrances ... so far I think the Hawaiian Silky smells the best out of the batch ..

I still have Softee Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry) on my list b/c I could not find it today

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME !!!! :ohwell: I'm secretly hoping none of them work so I can stick with my simple (cheaper) recipe!

Why didn't you smell them in the store? I be taking lids off sniffing stuff. the Long Aid does smell like old school activator. I guess they don't want to mess up the formulation. If you don't want it there are to juicy heads here that could use it.

How many products does one have to have to be considered a product junkie? I ask because one of my girlfriends stopped by my place for the first time. When she went in my bathroom she says, "OMG look at all these hair products". I didn't think I had a lot compared to what i hear some of the Ladies on here say they have. What do you all think? Do I need to scale back a bit?

Is that everything?if so I don't think it's that bad. I have stuff under the sink, in the closet and in one of the kitchen cabinets. I honestly am on a mission to use everything up and stick to the basics .. the only product I bought is the past 4-5 months was my juice and that was because I ran out.

welllllll now that ive

1. caught up
2. juiced
3. wiped down my damn shoulders and computer chair from said juice...

*In Wendy Williams voice* HOW YALL DURRRRRRRRRRRIN lol
 
I just cowashed and I'm juicing as I typed this....I wasn't going to cowash tonight, but once I hopped in the shower I couldn't help myself,lol...
 
I did a beer rinse today with a Heineken. It was an old beer that had been in the fridge a while so perhaps that's why my hair felt straw like. I've juiced like 4 times today. I want to juice before bed but alas, I don't want to mess with the pillow case.
 
Today we have sand storm but I am still juicey I have my baggy over my juicy, with stocken cap and wig so the sand will not affect my juicying.
Tonight is my cowash night we will see how that goes I will be using the tea rinse will update later.
Thanks for the info firstborn I did a lot of reading about using the tea so I am game on using it. I will try the peppermint and white tea mix see how that goes.
What amazes me is the more I read on LHCF the more I learn about so much natural stuff and I have it right infront my eyes.

I am a PJ:blush: I buy the products when I read a lot of revues where people say it work I am still trying out things so I guest that is why I buy so much and when I have to make space I give away and buy more then I catch myself buying what I gave away because I read where it work so good for something else LOL:wallbash:. Plus all these different challenges I buy enough to last me through them so I do not run out. One day I know I will scale back but not now I am still in the learning phase. I just order the Mega Tex and OCT so I can start that challenge OMG:spinning: .....HHG:grin:
 
Posting my starting pic's. I washed & DC my hair on Monday & put it up a few knots and forgot to take pic before doing so. Today since it will be over 80 degrees I decide I will wear my own hair out instead of putting on my wig. I remember to take a few pics...so here they're.

BTW, I'm juicing everyday.

I usually smell things in the store b/c I have a sensitive nose.. BUT the PJ in me just grabbed all the juice I recognized from this thread and rushed to the cashier before I could talk myself out of it LOL!! :drunk:

I used the LongAid Curl Activator Gel yesterday after a wash n go and my hair felt soooo soft .. it still feels nice today! I hated the scent but it's gone now .. i think I will add some fragrance/essential oils to it so I can endure it while it's drying in my hair... I do LOVE how my hair feels

I still have to try out some of the other juices I bought.. I noticed that the Softee Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry Hair) has very similar ingredients to the Long Aid .. the formulas are not the same but I wonder it they work similar .. I've heard the Softee smells good but that's subjective so I'll have to see for myself .. I could not find the Softee yesterday so I'm still on the hunt :grin:

Long Aid Activator Gel (Extra Dry Hair)
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Triethanolamine, Carbomer 940, Oleth-20, Methylparaben, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Panthenol, Aloe Vera Powder (Aloe Barbadensis), Fragrance (Parfum), Ext. Violet 2 (CI 60730)

Softee Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry Hair)
Water , Glycerin , Hydrolized Collagen , Aloe Barbadensis Gel , Oleth-20 , Triethanolamine , Propylene Glycol , Methylparaben , Diazolidinyl Urea , Fragrance , Ext D & C Violet #2

Anybody have experience with the Softee?

She's cute but but very monotone which = boring for some people. Her hair is nice but I definitely like yours better, Adora.

No, but that's all she could see in plain view. I have some stuff in the shower (mostly shampoo's maybe 6-7 bottles) , some stuff in the medicine cabinet, and also a few hair toys and some items in my armoire in my bedroom. Oh and some stuff in my closet. I still don't think I am as bad with the PJism as some people. :yep:
 
I'm still on this!
I juice at night and in the AM.. Started mixing my cfgc with kemi oyl (Trying to get rid of this)..

Yesterday I prepood w/ wheat germ oil= a cheapie con.. then washed my cornrows with ORS aloe and then did a quick condition with mane and tail while in the shower.

My hair is moisturized :yep:
