Five Juuce products on the shelf. Which one do I use?

You’ve got the hair products. Now you’re standing in the bathroom wondering which one goes first. Fair question. The bottles don’t exactly come with a personal hairdresser attached.

Let’s make sense of five Juuce products: Smooth Enz, Solar Enz, Heat Shield, Double Up Thicken and 20 in One Miracle.

They have different jobs, with some overlap. Owning all five doesn’t mean your next wash needs five extra steps. Start with what you want your hair to do, then choose the product that fits that job. Follow the directions on your own bottle, especially if the packaging differs from the current range.

1. Smooth Enz: when your lengths and ends need smoothing

Smooth Enz is a leave-in treatment for a softer, smoother finish. Juuce’s directions say to distribute it through the mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair. It can be used at the end of your wash routine or as a touch-up between washes.

Think of this as the ends-focused option, rather than something you automatically layer everywhere. Leave it in rather than rinsing it out.

If you’re already using another leave-in, ask whether you need both. More product isn’t always a better routine.

2. Solar Enz: the outdoor-day option

Solar Enz is a leave-in product that Juuce positions for colour care and protection from environmental exposure, including sun, chlorine and salt.

The brand’s application guidance is to distribute it through your mid-lengths and ends for pool or beach days. It isn’t a skin or scalp sunscreen, and it isn’t a reason to skip your usual sun protection.

You don’t need to turn every morning into a beach-day routine. Choose products for the day you’re actually having.

3. Heat Shield: for heat-styling days

Heat Shield is the dedicated heat-styling spray in this collection. Juuce describes protection for styling tools up to 200°C. That is a product claim, not a recommendation to turn your tools up to 200°C.

Use the application directions on your bottle before heat styling. Don’t assume another product’s general protection claim means it is interchangeable with this one for your particular routine.

If you aren’t sure when to apply it alongside your leave-in or styling cream, bring the bottles to your next appointment. We can take the guesswork out of that combination.

4. Double Up Thicken: when body is the goal

Double Up Thicken is a styling cream aimed at fine, flat or limp hair. Its job is fuller-looking body and volume, not the same job as an ends-smoothing treatment.

Follow your bottle’s directions for application. The amount and placement need to suit your length, density and the finish you want. It’s a styling product, not a treatment for hair loss.

If your hair feels overloaded when you use several products, don’t keep adding another layer to fix it. Ask which step can be simplified.

5. 20 in One Miracle: the multipurpose leave-in

20 in One Miracle is a leave-in spray intended to help with manageability, including detangling and smoothing.

Juuce says to use it at the end of your wash routine, spraying onto damp hair from around 20cm away for even application. Leave it in.

The name doesn’t mean you need 20 sprays. The brand’s published directions don’t specify a universal spray count, so use your bottle’s instructions and ask for an amount that suits your hair.

So, what order should I use them in?

There isn’t a verified five-product layering recipe here, and you don’t need to invent one.

Think in jobs:

  • Leave-in care: understand whether Smooth Enz or 20 in One Miracle suits the result you need.
  • Body and styling: consider Double Up Thicken when volume is your goal.
  • Heat styling: check your Heat Shield directions and the rest of your routine before using hot tools.
  • Outdoor plans: consider Solar Enz for its intended pool, beach and environmental-care role.

These are choices to discuss, not instructions to apply every product in that order. Curls, extensions, salon treatments and an already-established aftercare routine may change what is appropriate for you.

Bring the bottles, not the guesswork

If your shelf looks like a small salon and you’re still not sure what to use, send me the product names or bring them to your appointment. A clear photo of the front and the directions on the back helps too.

Tell me how you normally dry your hair and what you’d like it to do differently. We can work out which products earn their place in your routine before you buy anything else.
