How long does it take to apply your DC?

[GettingKinky]

I use AOHSR mixed with grapeseed oil and apply it using the relaxer method. It takes me 20 minutes. I usually do it while I'm watching TV, but I wish there was a way to make it quicker. Maybe I should just use oil that's gotta be quicker.

 

[LaBelleLL]

Good question. I've never timed myself or paid attention to the time. Maybe I will next time.

 

[wheezy807]

It takes me 3-5 minutes. I just divide my hair in 4 sections and apply that way.

 

[Victoria44]

Like 30 minutes. I go around the 6-8 sections apply castor oil and then I go back around to apply the DC. I try to be thorough so it takes awhile, and I'm just slow at doing things in general.

 

[Lilmama1011]

I really don't know, because when I have new growth I apply it relaxer style and that probably takes about 40 minutes with me trying to be careful not to pull my hair, but when my relaxer is fresh I can section into four and apply literally in top of the hair and it will soak through the hair , probably fifteen minutes . But just now, I apply but I went around like three times just to coat it again because I wanted to make sure every piece of hair was coated being that I have just had a relaxer and I even combed it through with a fine teeth comb

I never timed it but I think it takes about 10 minutes to apply it.

 

[ronie]

About 10 minutes.
4c natural, SL
Relaxer style in 4 sections.
I do not twist after DC

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Five minutes. I quickly section my hair and apply.

 

[IMFOCSD]

Between 5-10 minutes...

 

[sparkle25]

About twenty minutes for me. Longer if I apply it relaxer style.

 

[DarkJoy]

Maybe 5min. I got short low density fine strands. It's high porosity too so sometimes I gotta apply it twice cuz it absorbs a lot of product the first application and almost feels like there's nothing in it.

About 40 minutes because I apply in 8 sections and detangle each section as I go.

 

[kxlot79]

Less than 5 minutes. My hair isn't short or thin but I just apply my DC kinda sloppily. Or maybe I'm just really fast? Idk. I never use tools to apply products. I section, apply, and squeeze/twist the product through.
Why do y'all use brushes to apply conditioner? I don't get that. I can't imagine using a brush for anything but a chemical service.

 

[Ogoma]

About 5 minutes or so. Grab large sections of hair, apply DC from ends to roots, smooth and rake it through, and twist into a knot.

I need my DCs to have slip.

Takes about 15 mins applying relaxer style

[Angelbean]

It takes me maybe 10 minutes...I take my four sections and apply paying close attention to my ends and making sure all my strands are coated

 

[Froreal3]

10 minutes about 8 sections.
4/b, BSB, density on lower side, but not at all sparse.

 

[ellebelle88]

About 10 minutes in 4 sections. I'm natural.

I apply relaxer style but I don't use a brush. I want to make sure I get my roots really well so I make small sections to make sure they're coated. That's what I mean by relaxer style.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

I too apply my DC relaxer style and it take me about 30-40 minutes. Its my favorite part, plus I get to play in my natural texture......

Usually I...

Part my hair into 4 section from the 2 that I wash in.

Apply my tea mixture to my scalp.

Apply my dc directly on top of it.

Lightly finger detangle

Move to the next piece.

I use the relaxer method and it takes me about 10-15 mins.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

I'd say about 5-10 minutes. I wash in about six twists so I untwist, apply DC and retwist each section.

 

[Ann0804]

About 20 minutes.

 

[Dayjoy]

About 40 minutes because I apply in 8 sections and detangle each section as I go.

It takes me 30-40 minutes for DD and the above is how I do it. It takes me about 10 minutes for myself applying in 6 sections and detangling as I go.

 

[BranwenRosewood]

Less than 5 mins. I'm NL natural, meduim-fine strands, medium density. I just put a lot of conditioner on my hands and rake through without really sectioning. I'm heavy-handed so everything gets covered. I finger detangle as I'm rinsing it out.

By relaxer style I meant one tiny section at a time from root to tips, making sure each strand is saturated. I don't use a brush nor combs, just my fingers.

 

[divachyk]

As a guesstimate:
Freshly relaxed hair - 10-15 mins to glob it on and go
While stretching - 20-30 minutes with using the relaxer method

 

[faithVA]

I feel better now. It probably takes me 30 minutes. I have 6 to 10 sections. It is hard to work conditioner throughout my hair so I have to do smaller sections and work it in.

 

[ManeStreet]

Less than 5 mins. I apply it in 4 sections & twist each section.

 

[GettingKinky]

Today instead of relaxer method I separated my hair into 8 sections and applied the DC that way. It only took 10 minutes instead of my usual 20, but I'm not sure if my hair is well covered.
