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

[Enyo]

lol hey myfreind, my scalp itches 90% of the time, its itching right now, when i eat, when i sleep, when i bath, when i cook, when i eat, when im typing on lhcf, when im watching tv, when i detangle, when im shopping, when im walking and talking. all the time, could this be why my hair grows extra fast? i have no idea

My hair itches like crazy when I'm having a growth spurt. I used to think my scalp was just dirty, but even after a wash with a gentle shampoo I still scratch like a dog. It doesn't happen all the time. Mainly in the warm weather then I'm taking my vitamins. Those are generally the months when I get 1+ inches of growth. It's cool your hair does it all the time.

I am still juicing, all the glycerin (juice and eco) is making my coils clump together so much even when i wash and finger comb them out...I think this may be a sign that my hair is getting moisturised from within..

I am such a huge PJ ..I seriously need rehab

Yall know I've been having decent success w/ my homemade juice (50% water + 50% Vegetable Glycerin) but NOOOOOO curiosity got the best of me! I kept wondering whether my homemade juice was giving me the best possible results so I went in the BSS today and purchased:

S-curl No Drip Activator
Care Free Gold Activator
Worlds of Curls Comb Out Activator (Extra Dry)
Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 Activator
Long Aid Activator Gel (Extra Dry)

along with some other non-juice related goodies


So far I CAN'T STAND the scent of the S-Curl & the Long Aid! These companies really could put in some minimal effort with some yummy fragrance oils - I MEAN COME ON! I can't say they stink per se but they smell like ..well just not pleasant If I end up loving them I'll have to add some of my own fragrances ... so far I think the Hawaiian Silky smells the best out of the batch ..

I still have Softee Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry) on my list b/c I could not find it today

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME !!!! I'm secretly hoping none of them work so I can stick with my simple (cheaper) recipe!

Hey ya'll, haven't been on since Fri because I've been moving the past few days *whew*. Still juicing!

Lol

The pj in you was itching reaaalllll bad today girl! Now you'll have juice for days But they do have like a 100 juices on one shelf at some of the BSS...I was like wow..really? Just figure out which one(s) you like best and then you can narrow it down a tad. I'll probably have both S curl and CFCG

 

[JuiceMobsta]

Hey ya'll, haven't been on since Fri because I've been moving the past few days *whew*. Still juicing!

Hows the move going? Dont lose the juice along the way!

 

[so1913]

Ok see now So1913 we're seeing :eye: 2 :eye: you work with me, I'll work with you, I really didn't want to send the Souuul Glo Patrol on my very own hair idol

Aww, nah girl, I'm trying to stay clear of the SGP lol lol.

 

[so1913]

OMG...I never want to move again! And I only moved from the 1st floor to the 4th in the same building and it sucked lol. Had to get the old one cleaned out and the new one set up. My body aches, I'm exhausted and ready to pass out at work today...BUT I'm almost done unpacking, and the juice is unpacked and ready for use!

 

[twinkletoes17]

My scalp itches too! I haven't even used my new Boundless Tresses yet. I wonder if I'll be able to handle all that growth.

My spray bottle's empty. I have to make my juice concoction again! haha!

*off to the laboratory*

 

[I Am So Blessed]

yea, its itching right now. it itches 90% of time, i think the 10% when its not itching is when im acturally washing it. but after teh wash, here comes the itch 3mins later, and then all night untill im sleep. lol my hair grows and growss!! i honestly dont think i get an inch a month , but i come close to it

What kind of tea I have lots I do not want to use the wrong one? ALso the coffee can you explain it more to me please?

How do I use the tea and coffee?

The caffeine from coffee and tea is suppose to slow down shedding (excessive) I say excessive shedding because my hair still shed but it isn't the large amount it had been, I would have like 2 big balls of hair, after being in braids for 6wks, now I have 1 med size ball. I used the tea as my final rinse and I don't rinse the tea out of my hair, some ppl do, to me it's an individual choice. You have to find a tea that works with your hair, some can be extremely drying. I started with Lemon and Black tea my hair didn't like it, now I use A mixture of Black, Green and Peppermint tea, my hair loves that. My hair feels so strong and it's not drying. I started out doing 2 rinses a week now I'm down to 1, going to continue to use the rinse because I like it.

Do a search there are a few threads about Coffee and Tea rinses, it's a lot of info in them.

Who you tellin'? That's how I wound up here. Make one post and they just insert your name up in the challenge You have no choice but to be like :master:

That's how we roll

 

[Firstborn2]

Awwww he feels guilty Let him be... Tape a pic on him as he sleeps:

Ok so I called him today at work so the pic of the S-curl would pop up on his cell phone and he fell out laughing. He was like you have really lost your mind over this jheri curl juice. He didn't confess to moving the juice, he just said lets call a truce, so I guess I will have to leave it at that. I still think he did it though

 

[Chriselle83]

Just checking in... still juicing everyday... I haven't missed a day.

I have tangles tho... but I found that I dont have to wet my hair everyday and sleeping with a bonnet helps a lot.

I use Long Aid Activator Gel. I have CFCG but I dont like it as much.

I know I need to go back and read the thread but how are we dealing with tangles and knots? I'm getting less but I'm worried I'm losing length. THX

ok ok ok ok i have to ask. how do you get it straigter, on my next texlax im going to leave it on longer so it can be straighter,


if yall could only see the way im typing this lol lol.

 

[SmilingElephant]

ok ok ok ok i have to ask. how do you get it straigter, on my next texlax im going to leave it on longer so it can be straighter,

Yeah you might need to leave it on your hair about 15 minutes to get it straighter bc you started from natural....usually the maximum time on the relaxer instruction is for 20 minutes...or is it 15?? I don't read the papers no more but when i used to it was like 20-25 minutes...but thats when i was relaxing bone strait.

if yall could only see the way im typing this lol lol.

I don't even wanna know....
