The Jheri Juice Challengeeeeee!!! Lets get our retention on point!!

[song_of_serenity]

My hair came out nice today! The longer it gets, the more it hangs so I'm glad I got bold and did my first wash and go. I actually left the back down though shrinkage is like...75%
The sides

The top

The front. It's an entirely different texture the top and middle is loose and the back is much tighter and is ONLY starting to get some hang.

Did the typical. Left in a bit of Trader Joe's condish (didn't wash fully), raked through ecostyler (which has glycerine high in the ingredient list) go back in the shower, wet hair, squeeze and SHAKE LIKE A WET DOG and then spritz with my CFC water mixture...then shake again. xD

My hair looked shiny and healthy. I can't wait to get more length to make up for the shrinkage. Drip drip.

Lol. I may have to try this. But I'm worried that the spray won't be moisturizing enough on it's own. My hair needs a certain amount of moisture to not look crazy and I worry that sprays aren't heavy enough.

I usually need a creamy leave-in no matter what else I put on my hair. Especially since I don't co-wash and only usually put moisture on my hair on wash day and maybe a few times in between.

Maybe I'll try the three together first, and if my hair doesn't act crazy, then the next time I'll try the juice alone. It's hard work prying me away from my usual routine. Plus, I intended the juice to be in addition to what I'm already doing (and not so much a replacement). Sort of a finishing spray to add a last bit of moisture boost.

Hmmm that combo might make an even better leave-in...the Garnier curl juice or juicy Garnier

Baby, Baaaabaaay!!! This thread is dumb *** long!!! Whoa! My first post, I got caught up around the first on tha month, and I gotta be feeling to take my pics.

I'm still doing my Long Aid gel curl activator for extra dry hair, and taking my vitamins.

Here's a photo from last month. My 3 month growth progress. Its amazing how I never knew my hair was curly until I went natural and especially since I put in the activator. This day I had just washed like a day or two I think before I took this, so it wasn't good and activated.

Hi Juicers Happy Easter, well whats left of it. I'm so glad to be back home, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the juice. I thought I'd packed it but left it at home . Anyways I'm sitting here juiced up with a plastic cap on my head, my hair is drinking it all up. Let me go back and read what I've missed!

 

[Firstborn2]

@Serenity, OMG I have a crush on your coils . I love the way you are styling it, good job Ma.

Thank you, I felt JUST like that dog! Honestly, shaking really makes a BIG difference and helps avoid the frizziness of towel drying!

 

[Firstborn2]

Yeah it is. To me the consistency is very light compared to other gels. The consistency is similar to my CFC juices The first time I sniffed it I thought it smelled kinda manly
but I didnt notice that when I used it. Here are the ingredients...


Deionized Water (Aqua) , Glycerin , Propylene Glycol , Polyquaternium-11 , Panthenol (Provitamin B5) , Hydrolyzed Collagen , Carbomer , Triethanolamine , Imidazolidinyl Urea , Methylparaben , Benzophenone-4 , Fragrance (Parfum) , Blue 1 (CI 42090)

It's like a jelly juice or a juicy gel...

Try it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks for the ingredients I'm going to the BSS tomorrow and pick this up along with the Right On. I really need to be making my own thoughI swore off commercial products until Adora got me hooked on the juice.

How do you like that Long aid gel curl activator? I saw it in the BSS the other day along with a 100 other juices

 

[Firstborn2]

So after watching this thread reach damn near 60 pages and almost 200 challengers (can't wait for the reveal!) i tried some juice....OMG! Who knew the magic that I would find in Care Free Curl Gold?? IMMEDIATE non-greasy moisture.
I would have never bought this product myself but my Mama (who is clueless about hair care but a true PJ) has a bunch of products under bathroom sink that she's only used 1 or 2X.

We'll see how this goes....

:woohoo: another juicer!

Did it last all day or did you have to juice and shake some more?

 

[Firstborn2]

How much are you all paying to get your juice fix? Here in Canada, land of the overpriced regardless of how well the dollar is doing, I pay $7.50-$8 for the 12 oz bottle. Crazy since I go through a bottle so fast.

But it's so worth it, I can't get over how SOFT it is! I keep running my hands over my hair and then mess up my keyboard!

Adorax2, nice cut girl!! It looks super full and you'll get that length back in no time!

Wow girl I'm sorry you have to pay so much for the juice that's just crazy, do you think it would be more cost effective if you made it yourself?

 

[song_of_serenity]

Did it last all day or did you have to juice and shake some more?

LOL! No, the shaking is just to keep it from frizzing from towel drying. I just did it once in the morning before church and I'm good. It should last all week, I'll probably just spritz and shake in the morning for moisture and to loosen up the flattened bits from rolling around asleep and I'm good to go.

It naturally curls on it's own but we all know that when you use glycerine based products, ANY kind of frizz is a no no!

 

[Firstborn2]

Juiced!

Smoochies

:blowkiss:

Hey girl how was your weekend?

I know you didn't ask me but LOOOVES the long aid.. In the green jar. I was using it long before the challenge but now (for almost 2 weeks) I've been using it exclusively. My hurrr is super soft. My princess has soft hair too.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!! We missed you FirstBorn! You know we gotta hold it down for Adora. How was the weekend getaway with the SO? I bet u were like without the juice. And Imma need that review on that heat cap PRONTO or I WILL SET IT OFF this time

 

[Firstborn2]

who else makes their own juice? what's your recipe?

I don't yet, but more and more as I go back through this thread it's looking likely, I may trying yours with macadamia nut oil and wheat germ oil.

Chelz you are so adorable It was nice we were at a bed and breakfast on the coast thanks for asking. He was trying to get his romance on so I didn't want to break out with, Um baby, I left my juice at home we need to go back. It was a rough 1 1/2 girl but I survived. I promise I will give you a review tomorrow, I'm sitting her looking at it now.

 

[Firstborn2]

I have been a lurking juicer and was wondering if anyone mixes their juice with something so they dont have to smell like an old man

I dilute mine with water sometimes that's about it.

Thank you hun for the review and you use it as a moisturizer by itself?

Oh and...I Got My Hurrrrrrrr Done!!
