Congratulations lovely lady!!!! 
I Am So Blessed
I'm easy going.
How did you style her hair when it was only 1 1/2 inch long?I see you used rubber bands but did you simply put rubber bands around it or was it braided?
Hi! I parted her hair in very tiny parts and corn rowed it and put black rubber bands on the ends. It was the only thing I could do. I did that for a few months until I could fit barrettes on them.
Also, please note that I renewed my subscription after 7-8 years of absence because of this thread. I remember when you were relaxed and now wanted to see your natural results. Also, I was the one who initially( I think) proposed the Jheri curl juice challenge years ago to you because I knew you were a regular user( with your funny self!). ...Please don't take that the wrong way,,,,you are the most entertaining one Iremember , lol.
Oh my gosh thank you so much this is *ultimate flattery!* 
I was/am funny and that is a super complement! And I think you for proposing the Challenge, it wouldn't have existed if not for your suggestion! 
And for you to mention that you rejoined because of this thread really warms my heart with such emotions more than words can tell.As you can see I am still a standing by the juice. "Live by the juice, die by the juice." That was the only reqirment of the challenge
. It was so fun back then wasn't it? I always think about them days on here.I lost my way and relaxed my then WL Hair and fell off the juice and lost all that growth. So now I'm back in action. This time I will follow this thing through and make it to Hip/tail length.
I so appreciate this and thanks a million.

I wished you happy birthday @I Am So Blessed today lady but I guess you were not really checking your tags for today and that's okay. It's your birthday. Hope you had a great one today.

Girl... when I tell you my hair has been such a dry disaster that I was going to relax after I had this baby. I live in an insanely dry climate came across your thread the other day and decided to try the curl activator ( I already sealed with blue magic). When I tell you my hair has been moist since Thursday morning (haven't added anything else) I tell no lies. Granted I'm currently not home right now I'm praying this is the case next weekend when I get back. Either way to know I have redemption when I travel is good enough for me and may save me from the creamy crack.
Your hair is absolutely lovely thanks a million times over for sharing.

Yay!! I'm excited that it's working for you! Please keep us posted on your journey and "love peace & Hair grease".
My hair stays moist all week long and I think you'll get the same results.

Thank you I did! I took a week off work lol. Today was my first day back after ten days. And my co-workers sang "Happy Birthday" and my supervisor baked me a huge cheese cake that was out of this world! I finally saw "Black Panther". I bought new clothes and shoes. And got to lay around in my pajamas for a few days. I'll call it a good week lol.Girrrl it was your birthday. You can miss a post or two and is expected. I'm just happy to hear you enjoyed it

I got on the curl juice bandwagon as well
My twist on it is to layer a leave in conditioner underneath (I try to use glycerin free, if not no biggie), then put the curl juice on top. Sometimes I’ll add a layer of oil on top or butter if I remember. My new growth stays soft all day, sometimes two days in a row. I’m used to spraying daily though lol.

@I Am So Blessed,
Just got all my Blue Magic grease and CFCG sprays and curl activators to last me a few months. My hair is shorter now so they should last hopefully through this coming November. My hair is loving this new regimen.
Oh by the way, I could not find Hollywood Beauty products here in the Bahamas but I ordered my HB cholesterol online from www.pharmapacks.com. Got 3 jars of this since I have a ton of other DCs in my stash to use up.

I surely wish I could use CAG in the colder weather. It is the business for me in the spring/summer.
Your hair is lovely.

Man... I saw this thread had been bumped and was expecting a September reveal!
@I Am So Blessed I have much thinner hair than you will the curl activator spray work better for me than the Gold?

I know you didn't ask me but I bought them all, the regular and gold lines. They both have a hair spray and a curl activator. Either one you decide to use, the spray is lighter than the curl activator but to me just as effective.
The spray also helps as a curl refresher when I wear my hair in a wash and go - moist shiny hair for days.
The activator is simply a little heavier, wetter, if that makes sense. The grease keeps the hair moisturized a lot longer than any other sealer I've ever used.
This regimen is definitely a keeper for me. I just wished I knew about it from the inception of my hair journey. I would have been a lot richer

@icsonia22, did you ever try the Queen Helene Cholesterol and if so, how did you find it to work for you?

@ItsMeLilLucky,
I tried the bolded after my wash and DC last weekend and it worked swimmingly. Another keeper. I used SSI Cranberry Cream leave-in.
My hair felt silky soft for days. And here I was thinking that this new natural hair journey was gonna be rough. But nope. It's easy as pie.

OK... what's a good cheap leave-in to use?

I only like Inahsi Naturals Aloe and Hibiscus leave-in and any of the leave-ins sold on www.SheScentIt.com. I have tried others but they all left me unimpressed.

How cheap is cheap to you?

About the same as the other products on her list. I don't mind paying more, but I figure if I can get something cheaper that works, go for it!

I used to use this
But it’s easier for me to find this:
I get the second one from Walgreens. About $11-13

to this whole post! The regimen is a keeper. Grease is the best sealant hands down. I do not grease my scalp, but my ends and strands. Grease holds all that moisture goodness in for a week or more.

(My two cents) Queen Helen is ok. I think HB is a little better for my hair. I'm also 4B/4C thick stranded w/high-medium density.

Thank you Missy Miss! (What I would have called you in person haha).
I use curl activator all year round. To add, I live in Jersey. It gets so cold here.
