I need to get in on this one, so pls add me. Had to go buy the biggest bottle of wave nouveau I could find. Just got a D-blow out so this is a good time for me to take pics for my start point. Just have to learn how to post pics, I'll have it all worked out in 3 months LOL. HHG all

What wave noveau are you using? is the daily humectant the same as the juice??????

 

[beans4reezy]

Yes, if you are co-washing that may be the reason. It helps to let the product build up. When people had a jheri curl and washed their hair, it took a lot of time to get re-moisturized. For me, at least 5 days of saturating my hair. During the challenge I will co-wash and shampoo only as I feel my scalp needs it. HTH

This is a really good point. Thank you.

How do you ladies use your Care Free Curl? Do you put it in a spray bottle, or massage it in using your hands?

I realized that my homemade moisture spray (aloe vera juice, glycerine, rosewater & protein) was modifed jheri curl juice.

So far I've purchased Care Free Curl & S-Curl but the S-Curl is working much better for me. The CFC dried my hair out, so I'm wondering if maybe I'm using it wrong...

As for the oils...nobody betta TOUCH my dang oil. y'all. I'm serious!

ETA: I've found that my glycerine based moisturizers only work with I apply them to dry hair. If I put it on soaking wet hair or freshly washed hair my hair will come out dry. But if I dampen my hair with it (like day 2 hair) it dries soft, shiny, and moisturized....Anyone else experienced this?

Hey ya'll I'm new to Long Hair Care Forum, but I think this challenge is just what I need. I recently did my big chop (in Dec.) and I'm having a hard time finding a good and simple regimen. Right now I'm wearing braids, but the braids are to heavy for my hair, and the braids are breaking my edges off. Anyway I think this would be great for me to try. Also my sister just moved here to Omaha, NE with me and her hair is breaking off alot so I looking for something to grow and keep our hair. Well I'm in!!

Does Hawaiin Silky 14 in 1 (White bottle w/green writing) counts as "The Juice" too?

i just looked this up, and right away after seeing the ingrediants, YESSSSSSSSSS, THIS IS ALSO "THE JUICE"

i think some of the ladies on here said they have replaced scurl spray with this,

instead of glycerin as the second ingre, its clycerin. i think they are the same.

 

[princessdi]

I want in; please include me. I plan to use Hawaiian Silky and once that's gone I'll try Carefree Gold Activator. Let's RETAIN, RETAIN, RETAIN!!!

One question though, do you saturate the hair until it's completely wet, and if so, will all the moisture cause the hair to break?

 

[OhSoOthentik]

Doesn't CFC have protein in it? That may be why some are experiencing dryness with it (you could possibly be protein sensitive). I am trying to research and verify it its true or not. Be back later

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Idk if my hair likes that stuff...
Especially by itself...I'm addicted to sealing with coconut oil!! Can we still do this?:scratchch:

ok, i think its time for a rule change *goes off to change a rule* the heads up.

 

[Adaoba2012]

SO how are you ladies styling your actual hair throughout the day? I know yall aren't walking around dripping all day

Well the s-curl is a "no drip" formula..

I don't saturate my hair with it, just re-dampen it enough to get my sleeping flatness out. Then I shake, fluff, and go.

It give my hair a sliiiiightly coated feeling, but other than that it's so soft and luscious I don't even care. Peeps shouldn't be sticking their hands in my hair uninvited ANYWAY.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

:woohoo:Adora for starting the juice challenge!
I put the CFC in my hair yesterday after my cowash and this morning my hair was very dry, brittle and there were some broken of hairs too. I don't think my hair likes something in it as my hair is never like this...I don't know what I did wrong I diluted it with water and everything...please advise cause I've really been looking forward to doing this challenge.

hummm:scratchch.......... you know what jozze, care free curl might not be for you, if i dilute mine with water, my hair comes out dry too. there are so many other juices to use, such as the righton, or hawiian silky 14 in 1. i know theres more, i just cant think of all of them...... im going to find some more jheri juice and post them, (if i can)

 

[PistolWhip]

Sign a sista up! Sounds like a great challenge.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Thanks AdoraAdora for taking this on. I never knew that my simple question as OP would lead to this.

It was simply a question I had for many years but never fully put it to the test long term.

I'm definitely IN this challenge ...it will force me to stick with it for 3 months.

and i want to thank youu and the other ladies for the shout out!!! and nominating me to start this challenge

That sounds good because I was thinking about using it to spray the braids underneath my weave every night. I just didn't want to have it leaking on the hair and looking a HAM. Hmm...:scratchch I don't know if I'm going to join this challenge but I definitely will lurk...thanks!

 

[JuiceMobsta]

Yes! Count me in...I already have some care free curl and some s-curl no drip from walmart just sitting around!

mmmm coconut oil

ok, i think its time for a rule change *goes off to change a rule* the heads up.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

what do you mean no oil? in terms of what? in our DC or no sealing?

i ment, no sealing. but i have changed the forth rule, and permitted coconut oil, since most ladies on this board cant live without it .

this is not the 80's. you wont come out looking like this--
my hair is not greasy or wet, it actually has no shine. its just moisturized

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Adora--when you were around shoulder and APL, what daily style or styles did you wear when juicing and cowashing?

Thanks!

i was rocking a half wig, all day everyday for 6months. after that, updos with hair glamps

dang you ain't playin ... i see you already signed me up. i haven't even posted yet, i've just been thanking people. seems like i've been doing this forever. my homemade moisture mix is basically a modified juice. i used to use straight wave nouveau finishing mist & lotion, but got into making my own spray.

the basic recipe is:

get a 16 oz spray bottle, fill 1/4 (of the bottle) with wave nouveau finishing lotion, 1/8 veg. glycerin, 1/8 aloe vera juice or gel, 1/2 or rest of bottle with distilled water. shake & go. you can play with the amounts of ingredients if this mix doesn't work for you. drop in some essential oils, castor or jojoba, flax seed gel or fragrance.

store bought moisture spray recommendations:

african pride braid sheen spray, care free gold, wave nouveau finishing lotion or mist

no, not wet, but moisturized.

Awww thank you so much sweetie! I'm sorry that I'm such a big about my hair. I'm just so ignorant about the juice. I just rang my Mom and asked if she every used any kind of jheri juice in my hair. She said my Nana once used Stay-Soft-Fro in my hair when I was about ten. She sprayed it in before we went to church and by the time we got home my hair had turned into a sticky fuzzy matted ball!
And I quote:
"It took a half a jar of Queen Helene {Cholesterol}, an hour under a heated cap and two hours of combing to detangle that mess! And to make it go from bad to worst, you were screaming the whole time!

So, I don't know what's going on with my hair and juice. I'm gutted because I really want to find a way to incorporated into my regimen but if I can't I'll just have to accept that this is just the way my hair response to juice for some weird reason.

He's hot even with the 80's curl!
