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

[RockCreak]

Morning Girls....still juicing.

I'm so glad I finally found a combo that works for me.

No more poo for me!

I use V05 con for cowashing, silicon bambo for dc - shake and let the hair dry.

Then I apply a light coat of vatika oil mix with CFCG instand activator and bamm!

This will be my new regi for now!

Off to cowash and dc.. be back after homework!

Forgot to check in

I haven't juiced all month, I been so well moisturized that I been afraid of moisture overload

I'll try to start this week

 

[MsPlatinumbsf]

Have you used the Beemine before? Can you give a review on it, I want to try it.

Honestly I started using it in March I read the reviews from the KISS and BH site and decided to try it and I have been loving it so far. I use the moisterizers, conditioner, juice and growth serums.

 

[MsPlatinumbsf]

i really wanna join this challenge, but living in dry, southern California....i'm scared of "da juice!" don't wanna dry my hair out.

any arrid climate folks having success with jheri juice?? (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, southern Utah?????) ....anyone?

I am in Iraq real desert burning sun and I am juicing big time no problems

 

[jayjaycurlz]

I like it too! Right now, I revisited the cfcg and activator because I want to use it up !

 

[Firstborn2]

I first bought S-curl in the fall after I had seen 2 ppl on youtube/internet say that it was a good moisturizer. But I hadnt really used it much at all

What are you ordering this time? I might have to go lurk on the sites...

Goodnight girl! I mean...Good murnin

Chelz I end up ordering 2-1gallon containers of coconut oil and 3bottles of the salmon oil, before you say anything it's for my whole family. I wanted to purchase raw african black soap and seaweed soap but I couldn't decided on a site, So I'm up this morning trying to figure it out.

Yeah I feel you on that, I do protein once a week to avoid that.


ETA: Ok these monkeys are getting on my nerves time to change,lol

 

[30something]

I juiced a few hours ago and omg! It felt so greeeeasy and an hour later it felt so dry What happened? I only sprayed twice. Maybe its not humid enough.. says its 33% humidity outside... maybe thats why? I have no clue

It was S-curl no drip activator.

 

[nicey]

I have the spray. I did try putting some coconut oil in the bottle, but the spray just drowned out the smell!? Maybe I didn't put enough.

Do you have the spray or the one you pour in your hand? I have the one you pour and I love the smell...doesn't bother me or dh one bit.

 

[nicey]

I never got to smell what CFCG smells like but I like how S-Curl no drip activator smells. Maybe you can change the brand or... try out soupgoods.com. They have a nice selection of fragrance oils. http://www.soapgoods.com/Fragrant-Oils-c-87.html?osCsid=56201d0f5d8782c2525b2b4a76d32c11

I thought about changing the brand too. I dunno, maybe I will just use a bit more essential oils in my CFCG. I will also have to do the cowash more using some good smelling conditioner. Thanks for the website. I will look into it.

 

[MsButterfli]

hey ladies, whos using Wave Nouveau with success? i picked some up today before work because i didnt see my beloved S-curl in this particular store.. guess since im at work i can test it out n see how i like it now lol.. I actually had Wave Nouveau back in the day...for all of 2 weeks cuz my hair grew like crazy...hmmm this can be good....*evil snicker* lol

 

[EbonyLockss]

I am using Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 and I am relaxed and I am wondering to use this without weighing my hair down. Do yall use it everyday or on wash days when your hair is still damp??

 

[maxineshaw]

Have you tried any other juices?

Yes. As I've previously posted (and btw, I'm not knocking your question), I have tried just about every juice. Homemade juice, storebought juice, Juice and Berries. Just ain't workin' for me.


As a matter of fact, I am in the process of a thorough detangling session. This is done using my Tresemme conditioner (and I haven't had to do it in so long that I forgot how awesome this conditioner is :Copy of 2cool: ), a widetooth comb, a denman brush, and banana clips to separate the hair. I just rinse my hair with water, and I apply a ton of the conditioner. I love that it has a pump on it. I use the widetooth comb first to detangle, and then I go over it with the denman.

I do not do this in the shower. I do it in front of my vanity mirror.


I used to do this when I would sleep on my hair (which I don't do anymore). I did sleep on my hair last night. However, it was because of how the s-curl did my hair. I washed and dc'd my hair last night. Then I applied the s-curl, and it did not go over well with my hair.

What I've noticed happens with this product is that it is really difficult to comb my hair. This product encourages dryness and serious knots and tangles in my hair. It was feeling okay when I sealed it with the Black Earth African Healing Oyl. However, I could still feel the dryness. And the straw that broke the camel's back was the tangles after the washing.


I am going to bow out of this challenge gracefully. I tried. I really tried, but my hair just is like "go back to the oil-based moisturizers".


I hope you all do well with it though.

ETA: Ok these monkeys are getting on my nerves time to change,lol

What protein do you use? I have the ApHogee 2min reconstructor, ORS Replenishing pak, lustrasilk/lekair cholesterol, coconut milk/cream, and I might get the Mane N Tail shampoo and condish for if I ever decide to shampoo, all of these are light protein...some of the juices have a lil protein in them though. I dont know about yall but that cfcg was on point the other day... me some cfcg. Adora was right

Those monkeys were over there driving FirstBorn wild!

Ok now Miss Firstborn, you've intriqued me with this salmon oil, please do tell. The PJ in me is doing flips right now, are you putting over your juice?

...Maybe it was the way you applied it/how much you applied or how you sealed it/what you sealed it with??? I'm sorry it's just not working well for you erplexed

I am in Orange County and I have been very impressed with the results.

Now what is bugging me right now is the amount of gray hair showing up, it looks like a wild fire. I am hoping with the gray the rest of the hair is growing also.

I did a complete twist of my hair and I noticed that it took me much longer to twist each individual meaning there was more hair to twist. Not saying CFCG is the only reason for this but I noticed it.

Not going to rave yet, but like I said I am impressed with the results so far.

Thanks - I was wondering. I NEED something to help with retention - but I've been soooo scared to try any glycerin based products because of this dry climate (especially when summer arrives.) My ends are dry enough - I don't need something zapping more moisture from my hair.

What juice are you using??

I live in Los Angeles and I've been juicing since January and I haven't had any negative issues with using jheri juice expect picking one that my hair likes. I've finally started to retain all of my growth since using it and I haven't had any issues with dry or crunchy hair. HTH

Thanks - very helpful. What juice does your hair like???

 

[JuiceMobsta]

Ok now Miss Firstborn, you've intriqued me with this salmon oil, please do tell. The PJ in me is doing flips right now, are you putting over your juice?

I know you didnt ask me but...I think its meant as a supplement?? :scratchch

 

[JuiceMobsta]

I juiced a few hours ago and omg! It felt so greeeeasy and an hour later it felt so dry What happened? I only sprayed twice. Maybe its not humid enough.. says its 33% humidity outside... maybe thats why? I have no clue

It was S-curl no drip activator.

Hmmm try sealing it with something when you juice, like an oil or.... a lil grease. Juicing at night gives my hair time to dry and then it doesnt feel so super juicy, but its still moisturized And I only juice some nights because other nights I am lazy. Oh and I dont leave my hair aloose after juicing, I twist it into bantu knots for the night.

Has it weighed your hair down before? Just use smaller amounts. I think most of the other juicers are using it either several times a day, once a day, or every other day.

 

[CocoGlow]

I know I said I was going to start doing wash n gos everyday - cowashing & putting my hair into a puff BUT I learned my lesson!! .. the tangles & knots after only one week were scary and yesterday's detangle session sealed the deal for me ... my dense fragile natural 4B hair cannot take it .. I'm sticking to stretched styles and continuing to keep my hair stretched during the washing process .. I loved washing daily and it was good while it lasted but I'm trying to formulate a way to wash often & still keep my hair stretched

Now onto the juice .. so far the Long Aid Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry Hair) is my fav! ..
I did not get any lasting softness from the:
Hawaiian Silky 14n1
S-Curl No Drip Activator
Carefree Free Curl Gold Activator
Worlds of Curls Comb Out Activator ..

The Long Aid works the best for me..maybe b/c it's in a gel form ...I'm still on the lookout for the
Softee Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry Hair) since the ingredients are similar .. I'll compare it to the LongAid

I asked before but does anyone have experience w/ the Softee Curl Activator Gel?

 

[JuiceMobsta]

Chelz I end up ordering 2-1gallon containers of coconut oil and 3bottles of the salmon oil, before you say anything it's for my whole family. I wanted to purchase raw african black soap and seaweed soap but I couldn't decided on a site, So I'm up this morning trying to figure it out.

check out this website...they sell giant doo doo balls of black soap as well as shea butter in solid or liquid form, cocoa butter, & carrier oils.

Those other juices might work better if you use a sealant after juicing
I havent seen the Softee Curl Activator Gel i dont think...maybe it was in the BSS i went in the other day or maybe super walmart has it? Ill see if I see it anywhere 2morow.

 

[JuiceMobsta]

I had wave nouveau like 2 years ago and I remember not caring much for it..but that was long before I started my hj so maybe it was just user error...

 

[JuiceMobsta]

I thought about changing the brand too. I dunno, maybe I will just use a bit more essential oils in my CFCG. I will also have to do the cowash more using some good smelling conditioner. Thanks for the website. I will look into it.

I have the cfcg and ummmm...I dont think that smell is going anywhere anytime soon cause its not light...I dont mind it at all though. I'm thinking S curl has a lighter smell, maybe you could try that. Just go in the BSS and start sniffing all the juices...

 

[MsButterfli]

lol you shoulda saw me today in the store askin the lady "u dont mind if i smell this do u?" lol...them folks in the wholesale district can get kinda funky lol..they had no CGCG just the regular ones..the second store had my s-curl in the hugemongous bottle, 3 for $25...we'll see how the WN works since they were 3 for 12 for the 8.5oz bottle...i love goin there..ya'll product junkies would prob go ape**** in there lol

 

[maxineshaw]

Nawh it's the juice. I'm really disappointed with it's performance. I really wanted it to work.


And I've been wanting to post a different picture of Eriq La Salle because of your siggy He needs redemption from that Jheri wig.

Can't believe I haven't seen a single pic of Sam Jackson. He's got the best Jheri curl wig I've ever seen
