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

[Evo-ny]

Wow, thanks for the info, you guys! Our winters are devastatingly dry, so if I didn't just learn about what happens during that time, I'd probably end up with a twa by next Christmas XD

 

[Firstborn2]

I took my hair out of braids, I'm going to give it a rest for a month or so, give my husband a chance to enjoy my hair then back up it goes. My hair has been in braids for 3weeks and let me tell you I had a very small ball of shedded hair. At 4wks I would have like 2 fist full of hair. Viva la juice

I just discovered the wonders of diluted s-curl.

I bought a 2 oz. travel size "Fingertip sprayer" bottle from Wallyworld. I filled it about 1/3 with s-curl and the rest with water.

Talk about pure softness. I think I just heard my puff exhale.

Anyhow, I'll be using this as my daily spritz. It's more convenient and not as thick as straight up s-curl. The mixture is still quite thick, but it comes out of the bottle as a fine mist. Makes it perfect for braids and twists.

I'm ditching World of Curls and sticking with s-curl. I think I might just call it a staple. At least I don't have to worry about Luster's changing the ingredients. Probably been the same since the dawn of the Jheri Curl.

Well, speak of the devil.

Before:

Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Acetamide MEA, Ceteth-20, Oleakonium Chloride, Stearakonium Chloride, Panthenol, Simethicone, Imidazolindiny Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance

After:

Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Acetamide MEA, Ceteth-20, Oleakonium Chloride, Stearakonium Chloride, Panthenol, Simethicone, Imidazolindiny Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxycitronellal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Eugenol, Amy Cinnamal, Limonene

Why, s-curl, why???

No really though, why? From what I can tell, they appear to be apart of the fragrance formulation. However, they weren't listed in parentheses after the word fragrance. I can't tell if they are the fragrance complex, or in excess of whatever ingredients formulate the fragrance.

:woohoo:I got my Skaala...I got my Skaala...

I can't help but think of this.

I have to give this up It makes my hair too frizzy and it feels sticky

Awwh, that's too bad. Can't blame you though. From the looks of your siggie, whatever you were using before worked perfectly fine.


Still juicing with my diluted s-curl. I'm happy my twists have expanded. It feels good to not rinse my hair everyday. My ends will thank me for that.

 

[Firstborn2]

Ohhhh *ell naw, DS did S-Curl change the bottle as well? I guess I will be headed to the BSS tomorrow to buy up all the 32oz bottles with the old formula, I'm not ready to give up this product!

 

[a_shoe_6307]

Still juicing and still loving it. I actually did a wash n go today with my juice. It actually turned out pretty good. Not too frizzy, but not weighed down. I'm in love with the juice y'all. Even converted SO to using it.

Now back to my papers. Been on here too long already...

 

[song_of_serenity]

Looks like the juice is helping me retain! I put the twists in last week so it's been one week, two days since twists. But aprox a month of juicing!

Just at chin to under chin.

Check the ends, longer and thicker down to the ends, and I used less hair in the "after," too! If found my hair was a bit longer if I measured WITHOUT the hair twisted (since the length was wrapped around itself with the other hair) but I got lazy with it.

So it helps retention indeed and now that I am in twists, I'm sure it'll help even more! :3
My ends do need trimming (knots and a few splits, boo!) as I haven't trimmed since my transition (9 months in!!)

 

[Firstborn2]

The truth is in the juice, Looking good Serenity

 

[JuiceMobsta]

Don't give up so fast, have you tried making your own or trying another brand, CFCG worked for me the first 3wks and then it went south, my hair end up liking S-curl and Long Aid Gel, but a lot of women are having success with a homemade version. Don't give up on Da Juice

MmmmHmmm. Sure.

Tha Juice is my recital, tha juice is very vital, To juice and slide then catch my ride, It's Juicayyy is the title. (uh uh uh here we go,)

It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.

I met this Care Free Curly, it made my hair all curly...went to the store and bought some more I had to leave there early. Pink oil is really sleezy, all it just says is buy me, then spend some time and coat your hair I said "It's not that Juicy!".

It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.

In tha house the people grunt and try to play it off
They really sneak and use tha juice cause they cant get enoughhh
And in the bathroom its a pity cause tha Juice cant hide...
Spotted mirrors,juicy floors, even juice in their ride...

It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.

When I wake up juicy takes up nearly all of my time
I'm not blingin',phone stopped ringin', cause I juice on a dime
I'm not slackin',people nappin, cause they just dont kno
Always eyeballin my juicey, while my hairs to the flo'
I keep my Juicy in my purse at all times of the day
Pink oil dissed me so I dissed it now its going away
I aint lyin, people spying cause they want my juice
They still gone use it then get hair down to they kaboose

It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.It's juicy to slip N' slide to slip N' slide then catch my ride its juicayyyyyyyy, juicy juicy juicy.

I'd love to share and I dont care but you can get your own
Stores have spritz and lots of grits but we just leave it alone
It's real Juicy yall, and we dont quit
You keep juicing on, And this is it!

 

[afrikurl]

*singing along* Juice-aaaaaay!

 

[maxineshaw]

Ohhhh *ell naw, DS did S-Curl change the bottle as well? I guess I will be headed to the BSS tomorrow to buy up all the 32oz bottles with the old formula, I'm not ready to give up this product!

Nope. The bottle I saw was the same old blue and white. The only thing is I believe they just specifically stated what the fragrance was made of instead of just ambiguously stating "fragrance".

Like I said, I think they just need to learn the value of parentheses. I have half a mind to write them a letter asking what's up.


No need to clean out the BSS Firstborn2. I'm already looking to put a hurtin' on the person who took all of the Pantene Relaxed and Natural masks in my area. Probably one of y'all pj's:swordfigh

 

[afrikurl]

Um chelz I like how you tried to slide that long aid up in there with everythang else. You aint slick. All them side eyes and slipping fingers to make "corrections"...... got you wondering.... it's ok. start off withe the small green one and take it from there.

Girl I'm nervous I finally found a product that is helping me to retain my length and they want to go and mess with the formula . Just incase, I'm still going to pick up about 6 or 7 32oz bottles

You better step away from the Pantene and mess with the Skala it's the truth.

Omg! I cant breathe...

Uhhhh yeah my finger slipped then too, I didnt mean it! I promise!! But naww I saw Long Aid sittin up in wolly world lookin all pretty like...and there was some GIGANTOR jar of it too...I was like hmmmmmmmm:scratchch You could dip ya whole head up in that Long Aid jar! Bout 3,000oz!

 

[JuiceMobsta]

I have a confession to make, I've been unfaithful to the juice. I juiced my hair but I got a free myhoneychild product at the meet up and I twisted baby afrikurl's hair... without juice. I made a new spritz with nettle and glycerine that I will use to keep it moisturized through out the week. Forgive me juicegods for I have sinned.

All you can do is pray for forgiveness afrikurl, pray Yes lawd!!

Girl that sounds like my juiced up braid out. When i took it down i literally gasped, the waves were so pretty! All silky and shiny, i was like omg. As the day went on i was like what is this on my head?......but it's soft. All those waves turned to cotton candy.

Girllllll!!!!! Tell me about it! I was like....whhatttt is that thing on my head?? My bantu knot out turned into a big ole POOF. I'm gonna try to figure out a style where even if my hair goes wild during tha day it will still be obedient. Down boy down! Bad Poof!!
