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.

The gold bottle didn't work for me, I had to switch to S-curl, try adding water and maybe some oil if not, then you may have to try another brand.

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. :yep: 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...

Your braid out is so pretty.

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

I use mine on wash days, I wait until the water dries out a lil before I add it to my hair.

Your hair looks great kittymeowmeow, very moisturised.
May I ask waht ratio of water to glycerin you use? I'm going to be making my own juice too!
Click to expand...

Thanks Firstborn & Sapphire! I am not sure about the ratio since I just eye it- I am def going to start measuring though because sometimes it turns out better than others! If I had to guess, I'd say 1 tsp glycerine to 1 cup water this time. I wonder what other ladies do...I think they might use more glycerine? I heard someone say 4 parts water to 1 part glycerine. I might try more glycerine next time since I had to get my hair pretty wet before the ends felt smooth/slick. What ratio do other homemade juicers use?

Also, everyone - how do you know when you are "juiced"?

Thanks for the info KittyMM, I was thinking 1/2 and 1/2! lol plus I want to add aloe juice/gel from a plant I have. I'm defo leaning more towards that 4:1 water glycerin ratio :)

I normally add it on my twists followed by shea butter and castor oil. Yesterday I just put the juices and my hair was dry later. I think it is buildable and after several applications you get the effect. i rejuiced last night with my JCC and slept. this morning it feels like normal

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!!!

ok ok im done detangling becuase its fricken impossible to 100% detangle. my hair is 65% detangled right now and i dont currr no more!!! ill finish it tomorrow!! does anybody else have a hard time detangling??? id really like to know, does your hair start to dread up 30mins after you detangle??
Click to expand...

I use to have a hard time, especially around the parts that were underprocessed. But when I was prepooing with aloe vera gel (I no longer prepoo, I DC for at least 8 hours and I add aloe vera gel to my conditioner) my hair is becoming alot more manageable. I wanted to give you an update when I used ORS and aloe vera gel together as a DC. I noticed as I was applying this mixture to my dry hair, it made my hair soaking wet. I applied my plastic cap and wig and went off to work. When I came home 10 hours later, I rinsed out and i had little white specks all in my hair. I don't know if my proportions were not right, or if the aloe vera gel was bad. I couldn't figure it out because I have been prepooing with aloe vera gel for at least 6 weeks and I had no problem. This was the first time i have ever added it to conditioner and the first time I ever used ORS replenishing pak. I used equal parts of each. Anyhow, I am trying to get these white specks out of my hair which is not an easy task. I did a DC Saturday overnight and this time I used 1T aloe vera gel and added it to 4T of le kair aloe conditioner and I had no problem. I'm sharing this with you because if you use aloe vera gel start off using only 1T added to conditioner. With all that hair you have, I don't want you to be struggling with little white specks all in your hair. I love love love aloe vera gel because I've noticed good things happening to my hair and one of them is less detangling, more manageable hair.

morning ladies!! am I the only one usin JUST JUiCE?

I'm just using juice now too, giving the oil a break cuz it always makes my face or my back break out in pimples so i'm seeing if i use just juice if the acne will stop. If i feel like i need to seal though i will.
 
ok ladies add me please.... ok im too tired to go thru this wonderful thread, other than the jheri juice do i need to add anything else???? thanks bunches!!!
 
I washed and DC'ed yesterday. Used my juice concoction as a leave-in! Just sprayed liberally and bunned last night. This morning, my hair was showing me some affection :) Soft, moisturized, supple, mmmm....

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

I have had much success using S-curl while I had microbraids and my dd currently has individual box braids and I juice her braids too. However, I used S-curl with NTM Silk Touch Leave In and water. Its a great moisturizer that grew my hair and kept it from terrible shedding and 0 breakage when the braids were removed. I don't think you'll have any problems using your choice of "juice" alone either. You may want to try and small portion first, I can only vouch for S-curl.

Hope that helps!

I should really try making my own juice as well, maybe my SO will stop calling me Jheri Curl :grin:
