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

[Firstborn2]

Firstborn you are PURE comedy. But uhhhh, guess what? S curl no drip + vatika oil on BKT'd relaxed hair results in the silkiest, softest, most luxurious looking braidout I've ever had. Girl, random folks were stopping me yesterday telling me how pretty my hair was.

Plus, I've NEVA been this many weeks post relaxer (due to the BKT), but because of the juice that new growth is as soft as butter. I was planning to BKT the NG this weekend because I've had so much growth, but shooooo I'm going to a Spa Week weekend instead. At this rate, I won't BKT again for a couple more months.

I was just coming in here occasionally because y'all are so funny with these soul glo gifs, but errrrrrm ... I'm now a juicy braidout convert!

What I do is juice down with Scurl, followed by a bit of that Mizani H2O nighttime stuff (can't remember the exact name). I part my hair in two, do a double twist on each section, pin curl it on each side, slap on a plastic bag, tie on a scarf and I'm out for the night. The next morning, I take it down, put a little Vatika oil on it (focusing on the ends mostly) and I'm out. Easy and so purty (if I may say so myself), plus it stays soft all day. Because the cap retains such moisture overnight, I'm not juicing again in the AM. My hair is not drippy, not wet, not mushy ... just nice. I'm liking this so far ...

Ok well there you have it folks Ms Soulfusion herself has been a Soul Glo luker and she is coming out the closet OK Juicers let's roll out the red carpet for our newest member Ms Soulfusion not only does she get The Jheri Juice Lurker award she also gets a group hug:reddancer::reddancer:Welcome my dear.

Hey yall still juicing, so I the BSS had soft and free, has anyone used it yet?

 

[jry2lnghair]

[Beverly Ann Properties]

Just checked into the site and saw this post. Please count me in. I am a juicer. S curl and Wave Nouveau.

 

[soulfusion]

lol @ firstborn. why did I think I was gonna sneak up in here, drop my little experience quietly, and go back in Juiceville lurkmode?? lol! You started my day off with a laugh girl and ain't nothing else funny right now, because I overslept. Have a good day!

 

[biancaelyse]

Is anyone having to cowash more from juicing?? My hair felt really coated. I think I'll apply this on my 2nd day hair in the morning and then co wash that night.

 

[twinkletoes17]

I was M.I.A. a few days. School and work kicked my butt severely these last few days. I actually had to look for this thread

Anyway, I'm still juicing everyday. I'll be washing my hair today and juicing my hair afterwards

 

[Nappy_in_the_City]

I woke up today and my fro resembled having a real jheri curl. The ends had a distinct curl and my hair was SHINY!

 

[Blessed2bless]

Juicing and waiting to take out my braids in May 1 then i'll do my before and after.

 

[Vshanell]

Is anyone using this?

A few years ago I went to a stylist to get braids w/ a pony puff left loose. She did the braids and the pony then sprayed this in. I didn't even know what it was other than i knew i could smell jheri juice of some sort and i remember thinking i was gonna have a greasy mess to wash out later because she piled it on! Well it dried into the softest, silkiest curly puff I've ever had in my life! I went back and asked her what she used and I've been hooked ever since.

 

[CocoGlow]

Juiced last night w/ my Long Aid Curl Activator Gel (Extra Dry Hair)....1st I co-washed & applied conditioner as a leave-in then applied the Long Aid on top of that & twisted my hair in medium sized twists ... I did NOT like the way my hair felt initially when I applied the Long Aid on top of my leave-in, my hair felt much softer & pliable w/ just the leave in by itself...it was actually harder to twist my hair once I applied the Long Aid...but when I woke up this morning my twists were soft & bouncy.

I think next time I'll twist w/ just the leave-in alone and then apply the Long Aid once my twists are close to dry or dry all together. I don't like the feel of the gel on soaking wet hair but it still works wonderfully either way

Hi Ms Biancaelyse, I'm not having that issue, how many times a day are you applying it? Maybe you don't need to juice as much as some of us do.

Thats how we roll baby.... so um Ms Classychic can we add ya to the list?

 

[Nappy_in_the_City]

Wow.
Is this the biggest challenge in LHCF history?

 

[maxineshaw]

Even though I said I was out, I've been experimenting with s-curl lately. I can't help it. I really want this product to work.

The experimentation paid off. I've finallly figured out why my hair felt so crispy-it's actually my water. I live in an area that has extremely hard water.

I originally tried to correct the problem with Porosity control, but to me that stuff is not great at all. Now I'm doing acv rinses, and that works extremely well-far better than anything I've tried. I'm going to experiment with a "chelating" shampoo" next.

I don't know why it took so long for this lightbulb to go off. When I was at NIU, I had the same problem. My hair felt really dry and crispy. No matter what product I used, I couldn't keep my hair moisturized (oddly enough this is when I first went natural in 07', and I loved me some CFCG). Then I realized it was the water. But they have well water, and out here I don't. The water is still extra hard though.

Right now I am juiced. I did seal with Black Earth African Healing Oyl. That was hours ago, and my hair is still soft. Normally by now it would be hard as a brick.

So far as I know...

I'm up to juicing twice daily... I can juice for about 3 days straight before cowashing!

My scalp has been itching like crazy... Does anyone else's scalp itch?

Yes. Yes and Yes. I posted about a week ago that I had the itches, Adora said she itches all the time. We can only hope that it's due to hair growing.

 

[LivinMyLifeLikeItsGolden]

I am juicing twice a day...errryday!!! I just got my hair colored yesterday so I hoping for CFCG to really help me retain moisture. I am going to be cowashing and DCing at least every other day to get the strength and moisture back in my hair.

 

[NaturallyMo]

Just checking in. I'm still jcing away. I did another updo for the work weekend. I have one quick question. Is anyone else juicin' their kids??? I'm juicin' both of my girls twice daily. So far, so good. My oldest is 4B/C and is in 2 strand twists right now. Believe it or not, U=I think her hair is trying to reject the juice. IDK, any suggestions? It just still seems really dry no matter what I do. My youngest is a 3A, so she's no problem. Her hair is shiny and defined until she rolls around a little bit.

 

[afrikurl]

@ newly natural again-baby afrikurl is a proud challenger. we use long aid all day every day. I also use a homemade spritz

[Jewell]

So far, so good in this challenge! S-Curl Texturizer Spray (blue & gray bottle) & HS 14-N-1 are doing well on my hair still! I apply on dry hair, and use them after a wash to help detangle. It makes it sooo much easier than just using a watery leave-in and cream leave-in. Now I use a juice and a cream applied to my hair, and the tangles/matts melt away! This has to be one of the best inventions for hair (as in products) besides shampoo, condish, oil, & gel!
