I wanna join
I am tryna have Adora's hair by next year (or at least close to it)
My shortest layer is like SL and the longest layer is barely scraping BSL.
I want MBL-WL by next year DAMN IT!

My only issue with the juice is the smell. Do any of you guys know of a juice thats smells a little less jheri curlish? If you know what it mean. I really can't take the smell, and I am pretty sure my BF will kick me out of bed :lachen:

Any ideas ladies.

I use Wave Nouveau and no odor issues IMO
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

YAY! JUIIICE! I might as well join this challenge since I've been juicing for a couple months now. I mainly use CFCG, and it's been treating my hair great (especially when I seal with some JBCO...moisture for days). I picked up some StaSofFro the other day too, so we'll see which one I like better.

I have a question for you ladies: What do you use in the winter or if you live in a drier climate? I live in NY so the humid summers are very glycerin-friendly. But I feel like I need to start thinking about what to do during the winter when glycerin might have the opposite effect. I don't want to have to stop juicing...TIA!
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

Add me. I lurked through the first juice thread, this will be my first challenge! I'm super excited I am using CFCG now and a mix I made..

I am currently in crochet braids, i spray my hair with a glycerin mix (water, glyverin, ao gpb, olive oil, aloe vera juice) I juice morning and night and/or whenever my hair feels dry. I'm transitioning, 25 weeks post.

I have been using S-curl mixed with aloe vera juice and water. It has been working great, but I wanted to try out something else.

Hmmm some people juice all year round without any problems:yep:, also someone had mentioned how honeyquat can be used as a substitute for glycerin as it acts the same except it is supposedly even more moisturizing than glycerin.:lick:
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

Well ya'll I've been juicing and my trainer wants to know why I aven't gained any muscle...Just kidding! LOL

I grabbed the CFCG and also the African Pride braid spray with tea tree and peppermint. I got my hair cornrowed which makes it so much easier to get my juice on and I have to say, that juicing 2-3 times a day really has my curly coily ends looking great and feeling like SILK! I even had one corn row try to unravel itself because the hair is just so soft and frictionless! I'm so happy I found you all and decided to stop lurking!

Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

I'm in. This is my first challenge and I need it since I can't get pass BSB straight for the life of me.

Juice has been a part of my regimen since last year. I was a faithful Long Aid girl, but recently started using sleek and shine's curl activator. Loving it!
I think I might pick up a juice bottle though for extra nightly moisture. I've been eyeballing that S-curl juice....

I'd be very careful using honeyquat when the humidity in the air is lower than 65%. It could cause your hair to dry out something terrible.

Maybe those persons living in such weather might want to consider baggying to keep the moisture locked in the hair but rinse it out when you remove the baggy and the hair is again exposed to the low humidity.

Just a thought to try out. I live in the Bahamas so we rarely have low humidity issues here even during the winter months.
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

Juiced my braided hair this morning with BRX Braid Spray.
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

Is it just me or does the juice get better the more you use it?

You're welcomed Chelz. Honeyquat is a lot more moisturizing than glycerine but the one thing to remember is that all humectants work the same way. And if honeyquat is a lot more potent, then it is doubly true for it to dry out the hair even more than glycerine if the conditions are not right for it to work properly.

Okay let me explain. Humectants...glycerine, honey, honeyquat, aloe vera gel, etc, work best in humidities higher than 65%. Their job is to pull moisture out of the air and into the hair/skin.

Now here is where the tricky part comes in when the humidity drops too low. If there is not enough moisture in the air, then the humectant will pull moisture from whereever it can.

Unfortunately, that would be your scalp and hair, thus, drying them out. So now the reverse takes place. Hence my caution to you all to be careful how you use any humectant during extreme humidity drops. HTH!

I need to start looking up humidity levels daily...
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

am i using too much juice because my hair is constantly damp?

is having continuously damp hair bad for a relaxed head? i style by finger combing and grazing the brush along my edges, crown and nape as needed. i loose bun daily by square dancing the position of the bun.
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

Thank you Aggie for this useful info. I always thought my hair hated glycerin but now I think it was due to new york cold winters is why glycerin didn't work.

I also use my juice mix. It's a work in progress, maybe I'll add honey to it.
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

Just juiced my ends with Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1. Giving this a try since I used up my S-Curl (with added castor oil and olive oil) in one week! Keeping it juicayyy!
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

Question... I'm just getting into the juice, lol. Would Elasta QP feels like silk gel qualify? It has glycerin as it's second ingredient.

Gracias :)
 
Re: Part 2 of The Jheri Juice Challengeee!!!! Want retention?? Well Come on in!!!! ;-

My juice seemed to be losing some power, so i mixed Wave Nouveau finishing lotion with Aphogee prov-vit leave in conditioner and Elasta QP Mango & olive oil butter - now my juice's ante is up!

I thought you said this was gonna move slow? How is 18 pages in one week slow? I'm already behind.

Baby Afrikurl is also still down. I put box braids in yesterday, Her hair is noticeably longer. I think she retained about and inch and a half. Her hair used to reach the top of her shoulder blades, now it reaches the bottom. Poor thing, her shoulder blade length is only a few inches. We are also officially on RED ALERT, cause the Long Aid is running out.

I bought some yarn and I have some curly hair that I bought a while back. I will start at a new school on Tuesday and I can't decide if I want to do yarn braids first or interlocks. I think I will get some Right on because it will be easier to use in either of those styles.(And I used to use it when I had a curl):grin:

I want to keep my hair juiced and up, up and away for the rest of the year.
