The way I personally view that whole part of Juliette's character arc is that she wasn't herself by the end of Season 4. Becoming a Hexenbiest gradually changed her and took over who she used to be, stripping almost every last shred of humanity she had left. I basically consider evil Hexenbiest Juliette and the old human Juliette two different characters, though when she initially became a Hexenbiest, she did try to see if she could "cure" it. I think the fact that being a Hexenbiest changed who Juliette was got confirmed later in Season 5 when Adalind was extremely fearful about her suppressant wearing off and that she'd become evil again herself, as she stated that being a Hexenbiest changes how you think and feel (for the worse). Later that season, it was also established Hexenbiests and Zauberbiests almost have a biological attraction to power. I'd imagine that turning into one (rather than being born one) exaggerates these effects even more, but it does seem that this natural instinct can be tamed by things like suppressants, who you associate with and choose as friends, etc. Basically to sum up my long comment here, once Juliette's humanity gave way to the side effect of trying to help Nick get his powers back, the human version of Juliette no longer existed and was no longer the one making decisions. Hopefully now that the stick has restored some semblance of who she used to be, she can find some form of inner peace. We'll have to wait and see!
