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

[JuiceMobsta]

So I did not twist. I went to bed to "rest a bit" and woke up at 11. LOL. My hair was a matted mess but Lord knows, it was soft!

I had washed with trader Joe's shampoo, d.c'd with alter ego and then towel dried. Sprayed it down with my cfc gold/water mixture and went to sleep.

Oooo that Alter Ego garlic dc? I needs to try that!


P.S. @ FirstBizzle dont say shizzle, I am not a pj, you are.. (insider)

 

[JuiceMobsta]

So far so good, I'm going to apply a lil more before I leave this house today, SO loves the S-curl gel, he was using a lot but I told him he didn't need to much he only have maybe an inch of hair.

Guess I was trippin...

 

[afrikurl]

chelz you need to wipe off your hands after juicing, your fingers are slipping too much. lol

 

[maxineshaw]

I bought a new bottle of s-curl, 32 oz. I also bought 6 oz. tube of World of Curls Curl Activator.

I have the one on the right-for extra dry hair.

Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, PEG-75 Lanolin, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Fragrance, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Phosphoric Acid, Yellow #5, Red #33, Blue #1, Red #4

I'm wondering, can I use this product by itself as a moisturizer? The only "gel" thing about it is the texture, and the ingredients look pretty good to me.

Has anyone on here used it?


I'm a little afraid of using it. I had a really bad breakage incident due to gel (this was when I had a relaxer way back in '99, but the impression was everlasting).

I must say I'm sooooo glad the S-curl is working for you! what gel were you using the time before that broke your hair off? I think as long as it is the juice, it will be just fine.

Wow, that was a long time ago. Let's see...popular gels in junior high...probably Ampro. I know it was something brown. Had to be Ampro.

What's really interesting is that I had the common sense back then to deep conditioner once a week, moisturize my hair in three layers (leave-in conditioner, moisturizer-usually oil-based, then seal with oil on my ends). No one taught me to do that. I based how I used it on the texture of the product. It was just obvious to me, and I had excellent results. However.....

For some stupid reason I decided to do what everyone else was doing-slick my hair back in a bun with gel all over my hair. I don't even think I needed the gel. It was just the look I was after. Anyway, I kept the gel in and didn't wash it out for a week. I might have kept reapplying it-or perhaps I reactivated it with water.

Anywhoodle, by the end of that week, my ends were eaten up. Gone. Been afraid of gel ever since.

I have no desire to use gel in my hair ever again. I just thought this was a jheri juice in gelatin form-at least that's what it looks like based on the ingredients.

I've rubbed some on my naked hair and my hair is screaming "no!! s-curl me!" Not really. My ends are quite smooth. I've read some threads on the forum about this product and s-curl. Some said they used both together with great results. Guess I'm just nervous based on the word "gel".

Question for you juicers:

I'm watching this thread from the sidelines with amused interest, but really want to try out more glycerin containing ingredients because of this. I ordered some sodium PCA some ago. It's a humectant like glycerin, so will it work like glycerin if I put it in my leave-in spray (homemade?).

Thanks ya'll.

LOl not like that is a bad thing but he doesn't need a hand full of juice to get the job done.

I was about to say, chelz is feeling a lil emotional right now

 

[Firstborn2]

@MondoDismo, I use the long aid gel and most recently the S-curl gel and yes Chelz I like it. But when I apply I wet my hands with water rub the gel in my hand and apply it to my hair, I like doing it this way, it keeps my hair moisturized all day. In the words of Taj, " I had a Juicay Day"!

You know I think you should give gel another try...forreal though, as long as you know it doesnt actually 'harden' your hair...cause back in the day when I used some L.A. green styling gel(horrible on dry hair) it made my hair stiff and I was dumb enough to try to move my hair without wetting it first..needless to say some hair in my bang area broke right on off...like it was nothing! Anyways just make sure you get nice conditioning type gels, as in "the juice", with glycerin...all that good stuff! Like S-curl gel, Long Aid gel (yeah i said it), Fantasia IC gels,etc. Even that Smooth N Shine pink rasberry smelling mineral oil as second ingredient super shine conditioning gel in the black jar is better than that brown ampro!

Technically it could be classied as juice because of the ingredients, I have the PCA and although it kept my hair moisturized, it doesn't work for me like Jheri Juice. Like the shedding, shedding has slowed considerably since I started using Jheri Juice. So I'll say, if your hair is responding the way you want with the PCA then use it.

Girl hush! Read my reply to Mondo, I specifically mentioned your baby daddy of all gels.......nooooo not Long aid, S-curl!!

 

[Firstborn2]

Hey Yodie, I LIVE for my cowash-n'go bun. I add my juice to it, smooth it down with activator gel and bun it up. That's how i've made it through my 2- year transition. Wet hair is wonderful!

I'm out of Hawaiian Silky, so I made my own "Br*nze Juice." I mixed glycerin, coconut oil, tresemmee moisture rich conditioner and water and poured into my Hawiaan Silky spray bottle. It feels and looks like juice alright. I wish I had some herbs to throw in there, i'll research and report back. BTW, straight glycerin didn't do right - but it's awful cheap at the BSS.

I'll let you guys know how Br*nze Juice works.

This sounds delish Plz keep us posted.

Yup datz him

A friend asked me about this thread last week and although I had seen it, I had not read it until now. Interesting concept. DH used S-Curl back in the day until it broke him out. I do have some in my stash (don't recall why I bought it) but I'm still uncertain about using it daily. I never did like the smell.

I will be watching this thread.

ETA: I have not used my S-Curl in nearly 2 years. I was still relaxed (25 weeks post) and rollerset with it back then. I guess now that I'm natural I will have different results - assuming it's not expired.erplexed

[JuiceMobsta]

Yup datz him

It was at first use huh?

You said you buy the Fantasia IC gel for mother but you never tried it? Idk son, it might give long aid a run for the money

Oh and whats up with the soap son, you gotta give me the updates. Come on son!!!

Kool, try it out and see how it goes, some of us had to try a couple of different brands until we found the one that agreed with our hair, so even if the S-curl doesn't work try another brand or try making your own juice. Keep us posted .

No I think I may have used the IC once or twice on my edges. But I buy it for my mom's and she loves it, it's the only gel she will use. she has a twa and she claim it makes her curls pop!

The seaweed soap I love, I'm introducing it to the family tomorrow lol I already gave SO the heads up and he gave me the sideeye. He says, I don't know why you always make me and the kids suffer, what did we ever do to you. I'm in love with the Black soap, I use it strickly on my face and neck and I noticed results almost immediately, I don't know if I'll make them use it, but it will definitely be a staple.

Salt-less butter is just butter without the salt. They sell it at grocery stores...


there's an old thread on using salt-less butter...

 

[taj]

I'm about to juice it up. I'm using glycerin, aloe vera juice and rosewater mixed. Once this is finished, I'll try the Hawaiian silky 14 in 1 (or something).

 

[MiiSS kECiia]

LoL Say yes to the juice!! iLove it =) I've been juicing and I still have breakage.. I think its lack of protein.. I have to do a hardcore treatment every 4 weeks I think bec 6 "& 8 weeks is too long.. =( so when I take these micro/mini twists out I'll be doing 1 but I think my aphogee mite be old =/

 

[ladysaraii]

I bought some CFC Gold since I haven't tried that yet, and I might try mixing the S Curl with water to see what happens.

I also made a new glycerine mix.

Water, AVJ, glycerine + 3 drops each of tea tree oil, peppermint oil, lavendar oil, and rosemary oil

I used less AVJ & glycerine than before so we'll see hwo it goes. I saw a recipe that used 1tsp of each but that seemed too little
