It was raining so I decided to use the s-curl. My hair was so soft all day long. It's still super soft now, and I applied it hours ago. There was none of that odd crunchy feeling I get sometimes.

I actually returned the hair lotion I got and decided to duke it out with real juice. Since I ran out of the other bottle I had my sister buy me some s-curl. Yes, I'm wishey washey. Don't judge me:look: Can't help that my hair is finnicky.

Slightly OT: It was hot as hades yesterday, today it was cold as heck (and raining very hard on and off), and tomorrow it's supposed to rain and snow. God gives me great opportunities to test products in different types of weather...all in the same week :grin:

Yeah I was thinking the same thing :yep:

:ot: Now back to the juice!!! :blush:

Hmmmm...I wonder whats down below...hmmm :scratchch

:sekret: Write small like this! Oh I forgot about Hair One! Have you tried the V05 Kiwi Clarifying Conditioner or Suave Clarifying Conditioner? I look for cheapie stuff cause I'm not gonna pay $10 for hair one when my natural hair is hip length...:nono: And the giovanni smooth as silk conditioner is pretty good, i havent tried the shampoo though. Okay, now back to the juice!!! Lets think of something juice related to talk about. :sekret:

Ohso you are doing good Ma, I see growth and it is definitely fuller.Three cheers to the juice.,lol

Thanks, Babes! I noticed its getting fuller also. You can't see my ear as clearly through it now. I am learning to accept the fact that I have fine hair, always have, so I have to work with it. That's probably why I don't like to straighten though. It makes it more obvious that I don't have full thick hair.

I know exactly what you are talking about because my hair is the same way, it wasn't until I came to the board that I actually learned that my strands are not thick but fine just highly dense. I was always told my hair was thick, that was a lie:look:. When I straighten my hair also looks thin, that's why I'm desperate for TBL

FB is that Tail Bone Length? If so, does having TBL look better when you have fine hair?
 
Well Last night I DC which I did for 6hrs while completed work and went to the gym. When I rinsed my hair felt good but of course the shedding had me like awwww. I had to put in my Herbal Essence that make my hair feel so nice and the smell is like wow.

Then I did the tea rinse I use peppermint tea when I did that no hair came out OMG no hair came out. I did not rinse it out
My hair was not dry it still felt good.

I then moisture, juiced, seal, add silk rollers to ends and wrap my hair with the silk wrap.

This morning my hair was still soft. I juiced again, add my MN mix and castor oil, baggy and slap my wig on and off to work. Note the hair that came out was next to nothing.

Thanks again Firstborn for the tea advice I will use it twice a week until I am satisfied.
 
co signing on that burts bees is drying as all get out! I think it has to be sulfate free and moisturizing .. like trader joes nourish spa. I am about to juice and sleep with my plastic cap.Tomorrow I'm gonna take this cornrows out and hope my braid out is fly. I can't believe I've kept them in for a week but I'm proud of my self and my hair has never felt better.

On sunday I went to yoga and after we did some back work , my mat was slippery. I almost fell in in triangle pose. I have yoga again tomorrow but I have learned my lesson.... keep the juice, wear a scarf!
 
Been juicing with WOC activator gel the last few days. I've been very busy with making deliveries so I've been baggying with "the juice", under a stylish hat.:yep:

Yes, Burts Bees is a fool for that one :ohwell:
Show us your braidout if it comes out ok :grin:

I need to do some yoga :look:
 
OK Ladies for the past few days I've been co-washing daily w/ my new TRESemme Naturals Moisturizing Conditioner (silicone free) LOVE IT! And I've been applying the LongAid Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry Hair) to my hair when it's soaking wet and putting my hair into a puff ..

I stated before that I hate the scent of the LongAid so I added some yummy fragrance oils to the jar (Coco Almond + Chocolate) .. so far my hair is loving this juicy gel! .. I've been using silver dollar size amount throughout my whole head mainly scrunching my ends and smoothing along my edges .. it feels weird going on wet hair at first but it dries soft to the touch and it's not sticky at all!

I'm kind of scared to try all the other juices I bought the other day on my juice shopping spree :perplexed ... but I'll try another one on a day I have no where to go just in case I hate it and have to wash my hair again :yep:
 
I juiced last night. I really like the smaller bottle of s-curl I have. It's 12 oz (8 oz. bonus size). Then again, it could be because the bottle is full. I can't stand how empty s-curl bottles just seem to "cave in".

Mainly I prefer the 32 oz. bottle. It has a flip top.
 
Heeeeyyyyy! I'm still juicing. I've been lurking but not posting. This thread has been calling for my attention but I have to stay focused in school. I'm taking a break this weekend...kicked the kids and dh out! Yayyy! It's gonna be me, my hair, this thread, my juice, my dc (by the way I'm looking for a really good moisturizing dc, any recommendations?) some crabs and a pepsi! :lachen:

I can't wait!

how often are yall buying the juice???
Click to expand...

The juice bottle I just finished was 16 oz. and lasted for about a year and a half. I obviously used it on an inconsistent basis.

I would guestimate that a 32 oz. bottle of juice would last me about three-four months.
 
I didn't join the challenge but I have been following along with you guys and using S Curl No Drip on me and my daughter's hair. This stuff is the best! Thanks AdoraAdora for this challenge.

Thank you for sharing this info, I'm going to buy the long aid gel friday, I will purchase some fragrance oil incase I can't deal with the smell.
 
Still here, still juicin!:grin: Getting bored with my braids though:ohwell: It's only been about 2 weeks now and I want to get a least 4 weeks out of them:ohwell:
 
I took out my cornrows I been juicing in all week and I have a cute defined braid out. I'm surprised because last week my twist out did not hold the shape.
I took this on my husband's cell phone so it's a little grainy.
I almost don't want to go to yoga cause I know it won't look like this tomorrow
