My mom went to cosmetology school in the late 80'. Since my little sister had "good" hair, I became the guinea pig. I used to get bullied for having a curl when it went out of style in school. Then one day she decided to give me a relaxer and all of my edges fell out. I spent the entire 5th grade having to wear a headband and a fro because she wouldn't do anything else with my hair to let it grow back out. Boys would snatch my headband off and run away with it! And how can i forget when she finally put the curl back in and in 7th grade she decided to try and hot comb my roots. My scalp was covered in sores and scabs and i had to be taken out of school for 2 weeks due to everyone seeing the scabs. Fast-forward, I've been natural with my curly 4b-4c hair since 2014. Hair was a nightmare for me growing up.
Oh I’m so sorry you went through all that.
Oh my sis. She should of left your hair naturally. Childhood should be happiness for everyone. (We can only pray one day).
I’m so sorry sis 😔
Dang man. Your mama ain’t shit.
I'm so sorry for the trauma you experienced.
A curly perm for yt people is like 95$ and up.so maybe 150 200$ and up on the high end because let is extra steps. But 950 they done lost their mind.
I knew a guy whose mom tried to pretend like her Jheri curl was her natural hair texture. Like Ms. Ma’am I can smell the processed toxins as soon as I hugged you at the door. 😅
My dad has a California curl and likes to do the same thing. I’m like 🤨 now you know your hair ain’t that wavy!
Unfortunately, people be delusional.
😅
@@heatherjohnson7837 😂

I grew up in China (both my parents are black and were working at the embassy there) and even all the way to Beijing Jherri curl made its way! My mom had it for about a year and then decided the upkeep was too time-consuming and dropped it. I still remember the smell and stains lol!! Lovely and very informative video. I ain't going back to no chemicals! This year will be year 13 of me being relaxer-free woohoo 🤗!!
I’m coming up on my 13th year natural hairversary too!!🫶🏾
I’m almost to my 12th anniversary in July!
Too each his own but I’m really loving my natural hair which if you’re using a gel you end up with different textures as your wash and go starts to get dehydrated. The bottom line is everything we do with our hair requires time and care. Believe me I’ve learned this from being natural in the late 60’s-early 70’s.
Very interesting that the inventors of Jherri and Gina are non-melanated people.
They're very clever and quick thinking: black women spend more money on their hair than women of any other skin color.
@ThePeonyB very true! More than half the products made for us are not made by us.........
I’m always surprised when I see founders/creators of companies/products that cater to Black people who aren’t Black. They do a great job only using Black models and spokespeople so you would never know…
Well, melanated people still buy it at the end of the day so they know their audience lol
@ThePeonyB This is true, especially after seeing the documentary, " Good Hair". However, I still rock with natural hair care specialist.
Not for me and my hair. The price alone is a big NO.
Lol right.. these companies are always thinking of new ways to plague our community with overconsumerism and subsequent poverty it’s pretty pathetic
Me too
The price of losing my natural curl and lool is an ultra hell no.
*Laughs in locs*
Nope. Y’all are never getting me. 🤣
😂
I remember having the JC back in the 80s. My hair grew so fast and as I came into my 9th yr of being natural, I finally realized why! It was the same method of natural hair….keeping it moisturized, leaving it alone, and using the baggy method for EXTRA moisture! A recipe for substantial growth!! 👏🏾👏🏾
I totally agree with you. JC are the same method as natural hair.
My mom told me the same thing! She uses the blue and white spray bottle that is intended to keep the Jheri Curl moisturized. I use it AND seal it with castor oil.
@@GoldenSighlence yup!! I have that same bottle in the house now🤭
That's how it happened with everyone I know with a curl
I had a Jheri Curl back in the day. I didn’t keep it wet (I guess I missed that requirement!) and my hair looked like a perpetual wash-n-go. For me, the experience was the same as having a relaxer…except my hair was permanently curly as the outcome, instead of straight. By comparison, my natural hair texture (13 months post big chop) is basically the Jheri Curl without shrinkage and a tiny bit looser curl pattern. That said, no chemicals here! Thanks, but No Thanks! I’ll take my curl pattern in all it’s glory (shrinkage and all!). 🥰
Thanks for sharing your experience!
From what I’ve seen it looks nice for 4-8 months. After that women experience severe breakage to the point where they have to start all over. The Gina Curl update videos alone turned me off this style. The worst part is that after the style damages your hair the stylist will blame you, stating that you didn’t upkeep the style properly.
😯
I was told that from my stylist.
They always do that. My cousin was a hairdresser. She said that one of her coworker accidentally had the hot curlers too hot and broke off a section of the client's hair. When the client went back, she blamed the client accusing her of curling her hair at home, which she did, but it wasn't her fault.
@@1missbridget That's dirty
I actually got a jherri curl 3 days ago because i was so tired of natural hair and the stress of it. I opted for the dry jherri curl option. Yes you can do the wet or dry and i love it. No more stress. Maybe one day ill go back to natural but for now im loving it. I could never style my natural hair. Its always to frizzy or i do a bomb twist out and step outside and poof its tiny afro. I just couldnt deal with it no more. So im trying this out just to say i did it and so far so good.
I’m team “do what makes you happy” 😊
I agree with you I'm thinking of doing the same thing. 😊
I used to have a Wave Nouveau in high school and I didn’t have to constantly keep it wet. I actually wore my hair straight sometimes. You just can’t overdo it with the heat. I know people nowadays who have a WN and the products are sold in Sally’s. I have seen TH-cam videos with women straightening their hair who have a WN. I have been natural for a very long time but I would definitely get a WV over a relaxer if I was doing a chemical.
Jheri Curl is really a brand name. My mother went to cosmetology school in the 80s and what she was putting in white women’s hair were curly perms but not Jheri Curls.
BTW a lot of older WW I know get perms to create volume because otherwise their hair looks flat and lifeless.
I got a Gina Curl by @aceofshanti 4 months ago and so far I’m in ❤❤❤!! My natural hair is 4c and it has always been a struggle to maintain. I mostly wore wigs and braids which damaged my hair and edges. I was over it! Managing my hair now is super simple and I save money on wigs and braids. I love it here 💕 Worth the 💰
No more chemicals in my hair, blow outs, silk presses, fake hair(unless there comes a time when I need it) or braids. I’m 73 and I’ve never had a Jheri Curl but I did go through hot comb presses and relaxers.
$950?! For SHORT hair?! That’s a hard pass for me, dawg, as Randy from American Idol would say.
I’m sure there are other salons that charge less. I just couldn’t find any that were open about their prices on their website.
Not Randy! 🤣
They quoted me $550 for less than 6 inches of hair
@@eyekandy3000 Based on what I could see online that’s pretty accurate…
I considered getting a Gina curl several years ago and did a deep dive to find out more about it. I personally did not like Gina’s backstory at the time of “all the black female hair stylists were mean to me”. It felt like WW tears without much insight on her part of why stylists (and clients) might be hesitant to trust her. There were other interactions between her and the public that gave me a bad vibe (I can’t remember now) and ultimately I decided not to go through with it.
This was a great video explaining the differences.
Glad it was helpful!
I had dreads for 20 years and many natural styles after that. I became tired of natural hair maintenance, then did weaves and wigs, but grew tired of that. Love my Gina Curl! I’ve had it for 4 years. Texture demarcation is not an issue because the hair doesn’t tangle as long as you wash at least 2x a week. I use the original salon Hair’s Talent. Thank you for this video. It is well done and no policing!
I have type 4a hair and got the same results from Uncle Funky’s daughter curly magic after a trim, clarifying and conditioning. Especially if I’m washing twice a week. I remember thinking “why were people ever getting Jeri Curls”?
@@calinola7957 Because everyone doesn't have that hair type.
It’s interesting to see the improvements in the technology for chemical treatments. I’m glad it’s getting safer. Would i do this? Not a fat chance! I remember my relaxed days dealing with those 2 textures. It’s not for me. But like you said I’m glad the chemicals are getting safer for those who want to do that.
Exactly! The people who will do it were going to doing some kind of treatment anyway. Might as well be safer!
Not safer. The main ingredient is the same as in a relaxer. Lye, thioglycolate
Your braids are popping! Very beautiful!
I’ve had my Gina Curl for a little over 2 years now. I love it especially as someone who has to workout daily being able to wash my hair and even rinse it out daily is really nice. I’ve seen a lot of growth and my hair is much more manageable than in my natural state. Tried being natural for a year and buying products and getting my hair braided was unfortunately more costly for me versus getting the GinaCurl 2x a year. ❤❤
You didn’t pay the 950 price tag did you?
Thank you for sharing your experience! Though it’s not a hair treatment I would personally consider, I’m glad you found something that works for you ❤️
@@lototheflo9640 I did because I have long hair. But I was paying more to get my hair braided, wigs and hair products. I’ve tried learning to do my hair myself and unfortunately couldn’t allot the time, especially since I have to wash my hair often. For me the price worked out better for me financially, since it’s 2x a year, versus getting my hair done every month which also takes time away from work and family. That may not be the case for everyone.
Good for you! I get so sick of natural hair people being so judgemental. I had a wave nouveau about 10 years ago, and not 3 months later my hair started breaking off. I am seriously thinking about getting the Gina curl. I'm tired of detangling my natural hair. I'm sick of buying tons of products. I'm about to join you, Elizabeth
Hmm… there were chemicals in perms too that ended up giving black women cancer… I made the realization that relaxers were not only painful but all around harmful… idk what chemicals are used exactly but I don’t want to find out down the line that whatever is being used causes cancer as well…
Yeah, you really never know with any of this stuff. It’s best to do what you can with what you have using products that you trust.
Don't forget about The Hawaiian Silky!
Ah yes! I totally forgot about that one. I bet there’s so many more I don’t even know about lol
Bronner Brothers
Oh LORD that not only pulled my hair out but burnt the hell out me. Nope natural never going back
I love Hawaiian silky! Never had any problems with it. Tired of natural will look into this again. 😊
GINA IS GETTING RICH OFF OF US 😢😢😢TOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
Yes she’s actually getting over on people making them think the curly perm will give u that wet greasy look when it’s not true I have curly perm I paid 180 and it’s identical to the Gina curl she isn’t doing anything spectacular but over pricing
Chiiiile...Everything old is new again...wash, rinse, repeat. lol I never had a Jheri curl, but I wish all these natural hair products and knowledge had been around back when the Jheri curl was in style. I'd probably have hair down to my behind by now...lol
Facts!
That part, right there !
For my hair length that's 200 plus dollars a month plus the cost of regular hair care products. Shampoo, conditioner, leave-in Etc. All this to damage my hair into fitting a certain style that I could accomplish with my natural hair. That's going to be a hard pass
Very detailed information about these chemical processes. You did well Latoya although I will never go back to the chemicals.
I enjoy learning 😊 I had fun with this. Thanks for watching!
Never heard of the Gina Curl, very informative. 👌🏾😊
Thank you for watching!!
Let’s just be honest, this whole process is stepped in texturism.
After my fourth big chop because of breakage, I had no intention of staying natural. I really wanted a Gina Curl , but everybody I was following on YT ended up with breakage, protein overload and breakage, shedding, and most of them have defected. so for $ 600+ dollars it’s not worth it.
Yeah…I’ve seen a few of those videos. I’ve seen success and failure, but I think you’re right to be cautious about the risk. For me it was best to fall in love with the hair I already have. Everyone has to make the choice for themselves…
@@LaToyaEbonyHairit’s hard being forced to be natural but I do want long hair and chemicals keep failing
Basically, its not good long term. 😕
Have you considered having locs? You would get longer hair and still be natural. There are microlocs. Sisterlocs as options.
Definitely do your own research, and don’t feel rushed to make a decision. Best wishes to you on your journey to your best beautiful self! 🩷
I've had a Gina curl twice the first time I went straight to Gina in Connecticut from Tennessee she did a very good job I paid $500 it was five years back cause my hair was very short but my hair did grow but it still thinned out but I cannot say it was her fault because I did put some color on it. But the second time I had it done it was a lady that they had trained and I don't think she was she knew what she was doing my hair was a hot mess it wasn't curled good she put too large rollers in my hair and didn't even ask me what size I wanted I didn't think I had to tell her because I never told Gina and my curls wear good also it did not last long I was not happy plus it's still thinned out even though I took very good care of my hair and followed instructions and got the right products they told me to get. So I have not got any Gina curls since and don't plan to👍🏾💯 even though my hair is very kinky and does take up alot of my time but I will just deal with it.👌🏽
Ahhh history loves repeating itself. The 70s we were natural proudly. Then the gherri curl followed after that.. than full blown perm.
Not only that, many girls try to mimic those textures anyway.. so going permanent with it doesn’t surprise me.
Great video.
girl.. my uncle Parker n'em had them long juicy soul glo'esque curls... all for under 50 bucks with maintenance. I mean he bald now, but still tho... he had it going on... for as long as he could.
When I was transitioning back from my perm to my natural curly hair, I did the wave neauveu (lol my high school coach used to call me Mrs. Jheri curl so he had to inform me of that whole thing) but then they didn't warn me of the upkeep so I ended up shaving my head and starting over there. I love that you always do your research before talking to us.
I love my natural. I'll stick to that. Thanks for explaining. Very informative.
Very informative... I did not even know a Ginacurl even existed. Every time I look at my natural hair I feel so many things but the most consistent is free. I am never going back to a chemical process, I thought I had tricky, difficult hair that would not grow. I am a newer natural who used to swear by the "creamy crack" and for the life of me I can't remember why I used to feel so strongly about that? Since going natural I have not used the words tricky or difficult and I have in just two years surpassed the longest length I was able to achieve with a relaxer and the health of my hair🤯 I'm never going back but I appreciate hair knowledge of all types... Thank you for sharing the details 💯
No thank you. I had a JC when I was a teenager for months. I prefer my type 4 hair, much easier.
Same 🥰
I got the Carefree Curl in the early 1990's when I was 14. Unless I kept spraying activator on it every few hours a day, I had a dry crunchy rat's nest, and it was embarrassing! I'll just stay natural, thanks!
Yes, I agree LaToya no chemicals over here 😂.. great video
Hey 👋🏾 glad you enjoyed my little nerd session lol
There was some kind of curl back in the late 80s/early 90s that could go from straight to curly. I don’t remember which one, there were so many out back then.
So around $950 ? I have too many other uses for that money! But for those that don't mind spending that, I hope they love it.
Everyone values something. Like you said, I hope anyone who invests finds success. Happiness is the goal!
Nah….I ‘m good over here… Thank you.. I love being informed. ❤😊🌷
🤓 knowledge
New growth will still change the look😊
Wow!! Those braids are so beautiful, @Latoya❤ Did i miss the tutorial?😂
Hey 👋🏾 Yes! I linked the tutorial in the description box. ❤️
Thank you for your research.
Thank you for being one of the few TH-camrs who actually took the time to research how it's different from a Jheri curl. I did my research itself when it first came out and the Japanese products she's using are really expensive. Plus Gina has years of experience doing it.
I got a Japanese straightener (basically the straight variation of the gina curl) and thought about the Gina Curl, but dealing with the two textures is too hard for me. I discovered texture releases and between that and braids/twists I'm good.
I had Jerry curl and my hair was growing and the chemicals made me had highlights that were so pretty. My hair was bouncy and nice, wasn't that wet. I enjoyed the Jerry curl era 2010-2013. I preferred it over relax phase.
I hated the one I had after a while. It stunk 🤣 idk which I would prefer looking back…I guess I liked the look of the curls, but could handle a relaxer more 🤔 I’m happy to be out of that era to be honest! Lol
@@LaToyaEbonyHair The saga of the curls. lol My hair smelled sweet this time of year the bees would be on attack . 🏃 🐝

Thank you for the great information
The. HAIR! Omg! Yessss! Love it with the lip
Thank you!! 🥰
Had to do a deep-dive research project to understand what it was. Glad to see this vid! The process (relaxer variation + perm variation) terminology was confusing.
Ahhhh well I was happy to 🤓 nerd out to create this video hehe! Glad it helped!
I am so glad you do your research. PROPS to you LaToya, GREAT WORK! I follow his phenomenal daughter, Cheryl. Great infor. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! 🥰❤️
I didn't know the perms on white hair had a similar process as jherri curls
Yes yes 😊
Same chemicals. For white hair is it more liquid.
Hi there, GinaCurl Academy trained 32 stylist and each one is their own businesses. Gina is not affiliated with any of them. Each one charge different prices. Here at Hair's Talent the home of the GinaCurl Charges $650 and up. Depending on length, texture previous chemical in the hair.
Can someone who isnt a licensed stylist pay you to learn how to do it on themselves?
I just want to smell the gina curl , lol. That's the litmus test for me.
You just now hearing about Gina Curl it been around for over 15 years. I was thinking about it but went natural instead.
A lot of ppl are just now hearing about it especially people that value natural hair. I never wanted to chemically treat my 4a hair except for highlights so I only heard about the Gina thing when it went viral in the last few years.
I’m late to the party! I guess I never looked for an alternative 🤷🏾♀️
I don’t know what some people were putting in their hair back in the 80s but all the NYC train seats where the heads were, were covered thick in a type of grease. Just like that scene in the movie. I used a lot of product back then but nothing that did that.
Thought about it for a hot second until I remembered that price in the title lol
🤣
This is interesting. I’m just wondering doesn’t our natural hair curl with water based products….I’m just saying.
I think the chemicals in this process take that in consideration. Very interesting indeed!
Jeri curl when done and maintain properly will grow your hair, keeping the hair moist is what causes the growth period, that's why Jeri curl is always wet...
This was an awesome video.
Some people better have some serious disposable income for those price points on the Gina Curl.
I had a Carefree Curl back in the day. lol My mom had to be extra careful when I'd wear my hair blow dried. It was team too much. I wonder if the rollers get thight under the dryer like the old school curls. lol.
Your breads look very nice and neat. Kudos to you!😊
Thanks so much! 😊
If my hair strands were thicker I would try it I have fine hair that breaks easily so i discovered as I relaxed once and it ruined my hair I wouldn't put any harsh chemical treatments on it again
I have the Gina curl on the straight parts of my curly hair. I’m mixed and no matter what I always have bone straight pieces around my bangs and sides. My hair is not colored, and I use heat MAYBE once every 3-4 months or longer. So it’s not damaged hair it’s always been like that lol. Anyway, I didn’t know this it was called “Gina Curl” but I know this is what my hair girl did. I love it! She was able to make the straight hair match the rest of my curls lol. I’m always on the go so I love being able to run out the door knowing my hair is done.
I gave myself a halo perm about a year ago when i wore my hair straight. I've since gone natural, but my bangs are currently half 4a, half 1b.
I think i want to do a Gina perm on just my bangs so it can be a bit uniform again.
(I cut off all the other perms hair on the sides and back)
🎤 Just let your soul glow🎶🎶🎶…I hear you girl 😆
🤣🤣🤣 “feeling oh so silky smooth!”
😂😂😂
Hairstylists and influencers are pricing out black women in the name of exclusive luxury. Good luck with that we are good at making sometHing ouT of nothing. We don’t need expensive overpriced hairstyles or systems we will do for our selves
Yes I have curly perm and I paid 180$ it looks identical to this so call Gina curl . It upsets me how people try to get over on us.
Whew chile, that's way to much work for me. And they say natural hair is difficult 😅
Gina = perm
Did you see that girls ends. It was five inches of see through damage from the perm😢😢😢 and the processed it any way
Thank you for making this video because I really am torn from getting it or not but the price is giving greedy vibes like why that much when your hair still can break out and have two textures still
I have low porosity hair and when my hair feels dry rough and hard to moisturize I will do a simple clay hair mask with bentonite clay about two table spoons of apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup of the clay and enough water to get it to a medium paste you can adjust the amount accordingly to your thickness and length but I make sure no not add too much vinegar I notice the high ph in the clay is what helps soften my low porosity hair so if you have higher porosity definitely add more vinegar but it makes my hair so soft and manageable and better able to absorb products I can even detangle my hair while the clay is still wet in my hair once it dries I rinse it out and deep condition no Gina curl needed ❤😅
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO GULLIBLE

STOP PEOPLE FROM CONTINUING TO GET RICH OFF OF ME
I was given a Jheri curl once at the age of 11 the night fore I started a summer school program. Started Sunday night and didn’t finish so we woke up extra early on Monday morning to do the final rinse and activation. I will never forget the feeling of my hair dripping down my back while waiting in a group with my classmates that day. Even in the hot summer sun, it stayed moist until I got back home.
I don’t care how you rename her, I won’t be got again 😂😂😂
No chemicals 🚫🚫🚫🚫 period destroys the hair
Im just finding out about this and I do love the idea but I’d be worried about it breaking off.
I have Jerri curl and my hair does not have to stay wet it dries and looks exactly like the Gina curl I don’t think it’s really a difference just the price .
In my case eight dollars times four boxes. I need a box for six inches of length. It can get rather pricey if I did it myself. Right now it would be two boxes that's if I consider doing it.
Pasty Gen X, here. Gina Curl sounds like the perms Mom made me get until my hair finally burned off. No need to keep it wet, just leave it for a few days.
Dear G-d, I HAAAAAAATED those stupid perms. No wonder I eventually shaved my head.
I got the Carefree Curl in the early 1990's when I was 14. I don't know if it was just my hair, but unless I kept spraying activator on it every few hours a day, I had a dry crunchy rat's nest, and it was embarrassing! I'll just stay natural, thanks!
Love your hair, did you go to a salon?
No, I did it myself. I have a youtube video on knotless braids you can check out!

Welcome to my channel! Thanks for subscribing! ❤️❤️
Design essentials make a great curl product that is not wet. So, I'm confused as to why people are comparing old products when the curl hasn't been wet for decades now. My mom still does them at 71 for her clients that still want her to, even though she's retired since 55. My sister and I are both master cosmetologist as well. We have do curls periodically, and they aren't wet anymore! Gina is definitely using the same steps but seemingly minimized. However, get ya money, Gina. Check out Design Essentials, though.❤
Sounds like a weak relaxer, when I would underprocess mine years ago ie texturized it, it looked a lot like this for about $7. I wouldn't dream of doing this "gina" curl.
This is just another version of paying to have your own curly hair being permed to look curly and wet. WTF are these non melaninated people doing really. I've seen relatives who did this back in the 80s-90s. Leave this chemical spackle alone. 💚
you look like tia mowry
I don't think the Gina curl should be compared to the Jherri Curl of the 80s and 90s, but perhaps the curl systems of today. I haven't seen a wet dripping curl since the Coming to America movie. I am not aware of any curl that requires constant moisturizing. I would choose a $65 Wave Neaveau everytime, it's versatile as well. It can be worn curly or straight and is pretty good as a wash and go. Plus it doesn't take nine hours, maybe three. I'd still like to see the justification to charge $500. All hair needs moisture especially if chemically treated.
I never had a curl but my mom and cousins did. One time after I got my hair washed I had sprayed curl activator all through my hair and went to bed 😂. The next day, my cousin was trying to hit comb my hair and it was curling in some parts and frizzing in others. She couldn’t figure it out and kept asking what I put in it. I didn’t wanna get in trouble so I kept saying nothing. She said forget it and just braided my hair 😂
Your poor cousin, trying to figure out why your hair wasn’t cooperating. 😂
@@Gizelle-cs6ix girl she called my mom. My mom was asking me questions and then my dad came up there to see my hair 😂. I was like why can’t they drop it.
@@dreadams3207 Not the whole family asking questions 😂😂😂😂.
THIS IS A OLD SCHOOL " JERRI CURL " FOR $ 50 POINT BLANK
Exactly this lady is getting over on people talking about a Gina curl and making a killing .
It's the same active Chemical thioglycolate's. Just to different brands.
I think she just skipped the straightening process. The ammonia thioglocolate takes a long time to relax the curl pattern
I thought you were Tia Mowry for a second
I have a Jerry girl back in the hours from the sixth to the eighth grade and 1980s.😊
With the Jerry curl didn’t you have to keep your hair wet all the time? With this you don’t.
You didn’t compare pics of Gheri vs Gina!
Did you get info on how much the touch up is for gcurl?
No I didn’t. Apparently each salon chooses their own pricing model.
I had curl for years and never used a lot of moisture in it.
Right I am a stylist been doing hair for 38 yrs I use wave by designs My clients hair always look like their natural hair after the service I just use mousse after each service with a leave in conditioner I always have them to come back in 5 weeks for deep conditioner Been using this product for 13 yrs
No thanks, i love the curls i have already and the price is too much for me. but it's good to know, thanks sis.
Oh hell nah
🙈🙈
I think it’s a great option for those who want and can afford it but it’s a no for me lol
Though I wouldn’t use it, I’m happy companies are looking for other options outside of sodium hydroxide and relaxers to cater to the people that are going to use hair texture altering chemicals anyway.
The service for a Gina Curl is just 1.5 hrs. It actually takes 7hrs.
