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

[dicapr]

Lurking and juicing.

 

[Taina]

But 4 real let me ask yaw'll . . . or rather let me see what's up? Anybody experiencing, umm, crunchiness? I don't even know if that's what it is? Maybe it's a lil stiffness . . .???? Well, I dc all night. Before I go to KH I'll co-wash and see what's up. Only thing I'd been doing differently is my juicing just thought I'd see if anyone else experiencing this.

Thanks.

P.S. I still recall when I used Wave Nouveau hair lotion my hair being soft, supple and THE BUSINESS so I know juicing IZ da business. Right now I'm using S-Curl so it just may be that my babies love WN.

Yes indeed. with the care free curls gold, but it just happen when i apply it to my dry hair, or when i apply it to my wet hair but no comb after.

With the wave noveau does not matter how i apply it, is always soft

Hey ladies..I've been enjoying the weather all weekend.

^^^I've noticed crunchieness when I used it by itself however; when I mix the CFG Instant moisturizer with the CFC Gold Instant Activator.... it's much softer.

I just tried it Friday and yesterday... I like it. I still like the S-Curl to. Usually I'll add some ORS Holding pudding or KCCC to my hair. Today, I'm am just going to try to wear the CFC products and see how I like it.

I have a juice testimony y'all. I know I said but I have to get back on this. I'm going to go back to trying CFCG, or maybe even Wave Nouveau (one of the few juices I've never tried). Thanks for all the suggestions btw. Y'all are so helpful, but I can't stand making my own stuff (..well..anymore )

Anyhow, on with the juice testimony. So, I did post about how dry my hair was feeling. HOWEVER, I just washed and deep conditioned my hair (I used Black Earth Total Body Shampoo and Black Earth Enhancing Herbal Conditioner. I used my Gold N Hot Heat Cap for almost 40 minutes).

I have never seen so few hairs, and the only thing I did differently was juice. I read the s-curl bottle, and it says "it contains glycerine and vitamin B5 which work together and eliminate breakage".

Seriously, I'm a believer, and I'm willing to go the rest of the challenge.

Absolutely, and I'm using s-curl too. Sometimes when I touch my hair, it feels super soft. Sometimes it feels dry and crunchy. However, like I said in previous posts I've gotten this effect with every juice I've tried (Proline, Sta Sof Fro, CFCG, S-Curl-those are the only ones I can remember trying).

Then again, it has stopped any breakage and excessive shedding. I haven't shampooed my hair in a while, so I'll report how it works this week on freshly washed hair.

 

[DarkChyld]

who else makes their own juice? what's your recipe?

 

[I Am So Blessed]

hello fellow juicers!!!!! what do you guys think of starting a new thread for starting pictures?!!!!! please let me know what you think,

this thread is getting too long to keep up

 

[I Am So Blessed]

I have not been on here just for like two days and is so much to read I luv it.
I am juicying still I already brought more juicy so I cannot run out the PX have S-Curl juice so I stocked up.

I know the juicying is good because back in the day people with jerry curl used it and they would have nice long hair too.

yup girl. and they was swinging it!!

yes this thread is so long lol lol. i love all my juicers dearly

 

[maxineshaw]

A separate thread for the pics only sounds like a great idea. It is difficult to weed those out because of how long this thread is.

I have been a lurking juicer and was wondering if anyone mixes their juice with something so they dont have to smell like an old man

LOL That's why I've been using S-Curl. It has the most pleasant smell.

Proline and Sta Sof Fro are the worst. I promise they've been using the same fragrances since the invention of the Jheri curl.

 

[JuiceMobsta]

Hey chicas! I took out those twist yesterday and here's a quik pic of the result...the new growth is the only part that has a twist-like texture if you ask me...Can't wait til the natural part is long like Adora's

Hmmmm..I look like the GRUDGE right here yall!!!Run!!

Thanks I used CFC the first day and my hair was kinda crunchy since I switched to SCurl so no more crunch but I am more into fruity smells than whatever this is.

I've been wearing my hair straight since I joined this challenge, so I haven't had a chance to try the S-curl I purchased. But I'm deep conditioning my hair now (w/ Lustrasilk cholesterol and Aussie moist conditioner mixed together) and will try it after I wash and condition my hair.

I'm excited to see how it will work. My plan is to use my regular leave-in conditioner (Garnier Fructis), spray on the S-curl, and then seal my hair with coconut oil. I'm not ready yet to try the "juice" as my sole source of moisture, so we'll see how this goes.

That sounds like a good idea! All the pics have been getting lost in between the juice raves and the pics of food!

:scratchch Try giving the juice one night alone with the coconut oil , if it doesnt work out then do the threesome with Garnier leave-in ..........lol

 

[afrocentric_soul]

So I deep conditioned on Friday with ORS replenishing pack and Vitamin E oil and I've been juicing. I haven't been using heat, so at night I twist my hair into bantu knots and take it loose and style it in the morning. I apply the juice while I'm twisting and when I take it out. I don't think I'm using enough b/c my hair actually feels a little dry and sticky and the same time...if that makes sense...

 

[a_shoe_6307]

My curls have never been juicier girl!

hey girl!! how was your juicing experiance ?

 

[afrikurl]

hi!! you can put on your hair, wet or dry, its your hair you do it how you want just as long as you put it on your hair, its a moisturizers, thats all, you can consider this as a leave in. i never tried the wave nouveau. the juice is great for bunning.. you can wear wigs, weaves, braid while on the juice.

you forgot to add the jheri curl cap! juice loves caps

You might need to dilute your juice a little if your hair is sticky, using more might make it even more sticky

Lol. I may have to try this. But I'm worried that the spray won't be moisturizing enough on it's own. My hair needs a certain amount of moisture to not look crazy and I worry that sprays aren't heavy enough.

I usually need a creamy leave-in no matter what else I put on my hair. Especially since I don't co-wash and only usually put moisture on my hair on wash day and maybe a few times in between.

Maybe I'll try the three together first, and if my hair doesn't act crazy, then the next time I'll try the juice alone. It's hard work prying me away from my usual routine. Plus, I intended the juice to be in addition to what I'm already doing (and not so much a replacement). Sort of a finishing spray to add a last bit of moisture boost.
