Jheri Juice - Care Free Curl Gold Instant Activator

I've seen lots of recommendations for Jheri Curl as a moisturiser. I've had an old bottle sitting around and not used. Mainly because the spray aplicator doesn't work well and I also forgot I had it. I decided to transfer the contents to a generica spray bottle. I did flat twists and sprayed my hair liberally with this Jheri Curl juice. I've forgotten what brand. I then took out the flat twists and decided to rock a braid out. I think it came out pretty good. I've been using this stuff for about a week and it makes my hair feel soft but not greesy. I still notice breakage though, tiny little hairs all over my shoulders. I'll probably do a hard core protien treatement at some point this week. All in all, I'm pretty happy with my braidouts. My b.f loves them.

On year on...

I'm one year into my hair journey today. I still haven't perfected my regime.My hair still breaks during my wash days, despite all the deep conditioning I do. Last November I decided to relax. I put a lot of generic petroleum oil in a bottle to base my scalp but I definitely over did it, because when I relaxed my hair, it was only texlaxed. I used Elasta QP. After 12 mins, I could see my hair was not relaxed. At 20 minutes, it was still not relaxed. 30 minutes later and I gave up and decided to wash the relaxer out. I straightened and found my hair was breaking. I've decided to ease off on any chemical treatements until Feb while I sort out the breakage issues. My hair is quite thin and see through. I'm using a combination of a phony pony and wigs to get me through. I've given up on the vitamins. They did nothing for me at all.
