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

[Optimus_Prime]

is our hair suppose to look wet?

yes.

If it's not too late, can I join? I just bought a big bottle of World of Curls. I doing the braid challenge as well, and for the first time ever, I have breakage while wearing braids. I thought it was the Infusium 23, but I'm not sure. The World of Curls will be my new daily braid spray.

I have a big bottle of this that I bought out of curiosity, but I don't know what to do with it. Do you just put it in a spray bottle and spray it on?
How do you like it?

OMG, checked this thread yesterday before going to bed and this morning the amount of pages added!!!!! I think we are all going nut!
Adora, do you realize that you have started a global phenomenon
i was checking your fotki and your hair grow faster than weed.
it is amazing that your regimen is so simple, and I have decided to try it on my daughter hair.
Adora please answer my question, with so much hair how do you manage low manipulation, do you twist/plaits at night time??? when you wake up in the morning do you brush your hair, do you wear any protective style? i just can't get my head around the low manipulation, with so much hair!
Come girl spill the bean

Dear Juicers,


I see you're all enthusiastic about your Jheri Juice challenge. That's cool. I can't help but worry about you though. Please check the ingredients of your products? Check to see if there's anything flammable in them? Because, MJ was a juicer and we all know what happened to him At least stay away from open flames or sparks or something. I'd feel awful if one of you showed up talking about how you're posting from the burn ward



Love,

lamara

Deleted.....saw this issue was already resolved??

 

[ms.blue]

Just checking in, I juiced this morning.

 

[OhSoOthentik]

OHSOO girl your twist are gorgeous

Oso left =( Iwanted to tell her iLike the twists... iwanted to post my PS but I don't have a computer =/

Thanks Keciia. I don't stay gone for too long. Glad you like them.

 

[OhSoOthentik]

I'm jealous, I didn't see one frickin girl scout hustlin this yr...My coworker usually does them but she is tired of the mixup drama and being stiffed with to many boxes. Next year I better get some .

I got mine from a co-worker. If I find anyone else selling them I will let you know and I can send you some.

GM Ladies:
Just checking in. I juiced me and dd's hair last night and I baggied for about an hour before tying my cornrows down with a satin scarf. I've seen various posts from other ladies who juice and baggy 24/7. I just wanted to know if anyone in this thread was doing it and how effective have they noticed it for their hair?

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

Count me in!! I have a homemade leave-in w/S-curl, water and NTM that I can now use daily since I have a protective style going. I'll incorporate using S-curl alone, b/c it works wonders for retaining length and healthy ends. It got me from SL to APL with baggying my ends and protective styling only. Now that I'm transitioning in this pixie cut, its much easier to use S-curl and baggy my entire head.

How quickly did it grow?

My friend,
I'm sorry I just found this. IMO SL to APL was my fastest growth spurt, it took me about 7 months. APL to BSL, I never reached, I got close, but my ends thinned out terribly, b/c I got hooked on wearing my hair down, instead of continuing to bun. I have an APL pic, I'm looking for an SL pic. My APL pic on here shows my length attained from Ayurvedic powders in tea rinses. Will post an update here when I find those pics, it will give me an exact timeline.

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

Your avi is gonna make me chop my hair off!!! I am LOVING that style!! So pretty!!

Smiling Elephant, thank you for the compliments!! I would gladly trade with you right now!! LOL. I love the cut and the highlights, but now I'm ready to grow this thing out and its a tough stage to do that in. The summer cut bug always "bites" me. It's crazy how scissor happy I can get when the short shorts and summer dress come out. That's why I know I will BC before Labor Day Weekend.

 

[Khaiya]

Goodness, dont ya'll sleep? I went to bed at midnight thinking "yeah, its slowing down in here so i can go to bed," i wake up an there's 3 more pages right thru the nite! Ya'll dont play no way no how

I'm hoping the juice can get me to APL, i have 1.25 inches to get there so let's see if i work really hard and do wat i know i should, if i can get there by the end of this challenge, that would be GREAT!

 

[NikkiGirl]

Am I doing something wrong. My hair really doesn't feel that moisturized. I got the one in the gold bottle. Any recs would be helpful. Thanks.

 

[g.lo]

I Just caught myself talking to an imaginary friend about the juice!!!!!:superbanana:
See what this thread is doing to me, and i even dream about it

 

[fancypants007]

when i rollerset i always use juice, i add it to my spray bottle with lotta body,

I rollerset yesterday using 1/3 CFCG and then added water and lottabody according to directions on bottle, 2-3 parts water to 1 part lottabody. I filled up my spray bottle 1/3 full with CFCG and then added water mixed with lottabody. I rolled my hair, sit under dryer for 40 minutes, and when I took down my hair much later than day, my hair was very soft. I don't know how to rollerset that well, but my hair was full, soft and even though it was still wet in some places, it was soft.

 

[Eritreladiee]

That's odd...I've had 3 bottles of Scurl. 2 from sallys and one from walmart and none of them ever had mineral oil or petrolatum in their erplexed

Oh ok, then probably I'm mistaken and it was another product.

 

[Khaiya]

Am I doing something wrong. My hair really doesn't feel that moisturized. I got the one in the gold bottle. Any recs would be helpful. Thanks.

Do you dilute it? I think some ladies were saying it works better diluted? I dunno cause i use mine straight but then again i use S-Curl and Wave Nouveau Finishing Mist so i have no experience with the CFCG. Maybe you should try one of the other juices? I dunno.

 

[CoutureMe06]

Hi! I would like to join...Can you have single braids with extensions and juice?? Which would you recommend.

I've been using taliah waajid protective mist bodifier at least once a day and coconut oil to seal. Lightly co-wash when needed to get rid of build up.

I've also been using Boundless Tresses (not lately bc I forget) but I added sweet almond oil and pepermint that I use 2-3 times a week. I cowash to get rid of the dryness and built up from that.

I've been wearing my braids for 1 month and a few days but it looks like I've been wearing them for 3. I have an inch of growth so far and plan to take down the end of April. I plan to get the BKT to stretch my curls.

I did the BC in December. I don't measure my hair so I don't know how long it is. I know when I blew it out before getting the braids it really stretched. I'm going to start taking pictures and will make a thread.

I believe I am 3C/4A.
Thanks guys!

 

[BostonMaria]

Adora, I love your new siggie! I have to admit, your hair has just grown like a weed since your dance off first post LMAO There must be something to that juice. Maybe I'll give it a try in the summer time when my hair is co-washed daily.

 

[lamaria211]

ok so heres my start

 

[babyleaf]

I know I am late but this is good...real good.

I was in the bss about 2 months ago and ran across a juicy juice, said to my self..why not.

I love it....my hair feels ultra moisturized......but I have to say, that phrase made me laugh out loud...

"live by the juice, die by the juice!"

seriously, you guys are funny!!!!

 

[KittyMeowMeow]

Morning friends,

I juiced last night with glycerine & water. I also went into the bathroom after my roommate had gotten out of the shower and I could feel my hair and da juice soaking in the moisture in the air. I did 3 braids- the first one I juiced and braided before going in the bathroom, the other 2 I did in the bathroom.

My hair feels moisturized all over (my kinkiest areas needed a juice touch up this AM).

The one I did before going in the bathroom (1st photo) looks the smoothest (usually it's the other one):



Looks darker & more moisturized in real life, but you get the picture...

 

[~NanCeBoTwin~]

I took the plunge and purchased a bottle of S-curl based on the recommendations of one of my hair idols "Toy"...I'm not going to officially join the challenge but I'm going to give this a try and follow along with you ladies...

Good Luck and HHG!!!

 

[AvaSpeaks]

Question: Do any of you ladies use the "jheri juice" on wash days? Like right after you wash?

 

[Enyo]

Am I doing something wrong. My hair really doesn't feel that moisturized. I got the one in the gold bottle. Any recs would be helpful. Thanks.

CFC Gold doesn't work alone for me either. I use ORS Shea Butter first an then juice on top of that. It makes my hair really soft shiny. Try using your moisturizer (not an oil) first and then mist your hair with the juice.

Question: Do any of you ladies use the "jheri juice" on wash days? Like right after you wash?

I do. I wash, DC, squeeze out excess water, then juice.

 

[Ozma]

Okay AdoraAdora, let meeee in thisssss challengeeeee!

I got my juice mix ready and I will start after DCing today. I'm using CFCG/ water/Alba moisturizing cond. daily.

 

[seemegrow]

Add me to the list i''m going for broke

 

[Blessed2bless]

I do. I wash, DC, squeeze out excess water, then juice.

This is what i do except I don't wash. I'm in braids so I dc 4 to 6 hours with baggy and rinse, squeeze out water, then spray with Inf. 23, juice w/ CFC no drip and then seal with brx braid spray. I did this last night.
