***2015 Delectable Deep Condition Challenge***

[Froreal3]

Let's start the new year off right by treating our hair to some delectable, delicious nourishment ladies!



2015 DEEP CONDITION to the MAX!!!

Deep conditioning is an excellent way to provide nourishment to your hair via moisture and/or protein. Maintain that moisture/protein balance and your hair will thank you by retaining length!



This thread can be used as a journal as you chronicle your own deep conditioning experiences.

Be sure to document the following...

​

1. What product(s) did you use?​

2. How long did you DC for?
3. What method of DC did you use (cap, steamer, etc)
​

4. Most importantly – How did your hair respond?

​

Periodically search your posts within this thread to be reminded of combinations that worked really well or not so well for you!​

If you were a DC Challenger last year YOU’RE IN If it ain't broke, don't fix it! If you are new to DC’ing this year, just jump in and POST

[bajandoc86]

I'm IN!!

Will post deets in a few.

 

[spacetygrss]

Woot!

Now, this is a challenge that I actually consistently do. LOL.
Thanks for starting the thread.

 

[myspice]

I'm in! Just the challenge I need!

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Thanks for the tag! I will definitely continue DCing in the new year.

My goal is to DC with a soft bonnet dryer or hot head. I have around 20 or so DCs so I will be using up the stash. I will be alternating a DC with protein with a moisturizing dc. I also have some oils to use up so I may be adding some oils to my DCs as well.

Either way, unless my hair is in protective style mode, DCing will definitely be a weekly thing!

 

[MileHighDiva]

I DC bi-weekly when I cleanse. I will continue to use my Hair Therapy Wrap or Mastex Heat Cap. It may be psychological, but I can't DC with out heat.

I have too many to name , but some of my favorite DC's are Silk Dreams VS, MSI, Shea What! and RCA. Also, Bee Mine Bee u ti ful, and Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm.

 

[DarkJoy]

Ahhhh! Thanks for the tag!

In 2015, I think I'll go back to ceramide oil rinsing and then putting the DC on top with heat. My hair loved that but I got sooo lazy with it and moved on to other things.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will Steam and/or use my Dryer x2 per week.

Deep Conditioners, Tea, Coffee and Oil(s) maybe some Clay, Whiskey, YAM, Candy, Tutti Fruitti and other stuff.

Steamed tonight with Darcy Botanicals Deep Conditioning Mask

 

[wheezy807]

Thanks for the tag. If you want healthy hair, deep conditioning is definitely the way to go. I couldn't imagine life without it.

 

[DoDo]

Will deep condition every 1-2 weeks

I will primarily use Ingredients to die for Organicals deep conditioning creme, and Bask Whiskey Hair Soak

 

[Lita]

I'm in..

DC once a week
Ayurvedic treatments once a month
Mud washes

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[flyygirlll2]

I'd like to join. I'm a sucker for DC's that's why I have so many lol. I tend to DC weekly or at least these days bi-weekly sometimes. I like to use my Hothead if I want to not be stuck in one place or my bonnet dryer. In the new year I'm going to try to use my steamer cause it's been collecting dust.

Hey Gurl......

IDareT'sHair Hey,I just sprayed some HH big city punch & APB ayurvedic pomade to seal...


Happy Hair Growing!

 

[xu93texas]

I'm in again! I DC twice a week. I will continue doing this using my dryer.

My current deep conditioners are AO GPB conditioner, Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm, Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture, Shescentit Curl Moist, and Shescentit Banana Brûlée.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Count me in too!

I DC weekly lazy style putting on a shower cap, bonnet, and then a scarf to trap in my body heat and leave on for at least 30 mins.

I also warm up my conditioner from time to time. I want to be more consistent with that.

 

[Daernyris]

I would like to join.
I was dc'ing twice weekly, then clinicals began and I dropped to once per week. I can really tell the difference.
My hair seems to love any DC that's handmade/homemade
I plan to purchase a steamer this year

 

[lamaria211]

I'm in......
I DC x2 a week either with heat or overnight

 

[Brownie518]

I'm in...

I'm still doing only 1x a week, for now. I'll be moving into 2015 with my favorites:

Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair
Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk
Naturelle Grow Slippery Elm
CD Black Vanilla Smoothie
Claudie's Deep Moisturizing

 

[kupenda]

Happy to be back in for the new year! Barring special circumstances, I will be DCing weekly. My hair loves protein, so I'll be sticking with my Silk Dreams Mocha Silk and revisiting AO GPB. For moisture, I'll be using Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk and Shea What (only ordering multiples at a time, and preferably with a sale). Ive had great success with oil on top of my conditioners, with using heat from my hard top dryer, and with protein twice a month. Im so excited!

 

[toaster]

In it to win it!

I deep condition with every cowash/shampoo, so usually twice a week. Lately I've been using Pantene 2 Minute Masque and loving it.

I need a DC to be super slippy because I detangle as I apply out of the shower (this is the only time I comb my hair), moisturizing, and cheap (because I go through a LOT of product).

I usually use my HotHead for about an hour. I don't think it's actually hot for 60 minutes, but I get distracted/nap, and my hair is always warm and super soft after I DC.

 

[KinksAndInk]

I'm in. I will dc every two weeks when I wash my hair, alternating SM raw shea butter deep treatment masque for moisture and Joico Kpak deep penetrating reconstructor for protein. Those are the only two products I use to dc. I stick with what works and these two have never let me down. I normally dc overnight (moisture) or during the day (protein or moisture) while I'm in class with a shower cap, bonnet and beanie on lol. In April when I switch my washing schedule I'll be dc'ing every 10 days.

 

[Duchess007]

Woohoo! Back in for 2015!

I started doing overnight DCs this year and I think I'll be sticking with that. Other faves from this year that I'll be keeping in my DC regi:

Coconut milk
Egg yolk
Shea butter
Yogurt
Royal Jelly
Aloe Vera
bulking with cheapie conditioners

Looking forward to another year of DCing. Thanks for hosting, Froreal3!

 

[ronie]

Thanks for the tag.
I DC once a week, although that might change to either twice a week or once every 2 weeks. I know that sounds crazy. I am trying to see what my hair prefers this winter: more contact with water (twice a week) or to be left alone for a longer period of time.
I DC with 2 shower caps on clean damp hair, no heat for 1-2 hours. I often leave it overnight out of sheer laziness. Here is my list
Silk dreams RCA
Silk dreams shea what
Joico moisture recovery treatment balm
Carols daughter cupuacu smoothing hair mask
APB ayurvedic mud mask - prepoo only
Curl junkie repair me
Emergencee polymeric reconstructor

Will be trying/revisiting
Naturellegrow herbal blends
It's a 10 hair mask
I don't add anything to my DCers.

 

[Froreal3]

My fav dcs of course are Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk and Razzberry Coconut Affair. They are highly effective and inexpensive. I am revisiting HV Sitrinillah this year. BASK YAM and Blue Roze Beauty Chai Hair Tea have also proven themselves to come along w/me in the new year.

 

[lovelycurls]

Thanks for the Tag! Will continue with my every other week routine, with random conditioners mixed with my homemade oil mixes! ....Favorite part of my hair regime

 

[k_enitan]

I am in!!!

My hair seems to be thriving with the Shea Moisture Yucca mask but I need a truly moisturizing conditioner.... so please note any recommendations will be highly appreciated.

for reference, I stumbled on the old Nexxus Humectress a while back and my hair was in love with it... it was sheer perferction; as a leave-in, as a DC (with oils). Also I used Aubrey Honeysuckle some years back and it was okay for a while but it began to feel heavy and clog up my pores. AOGPB was okay but I think with the shea moisture that would be too much protein.

My hair is 4b/c, low density, fine brittle strands and most importantly highly sensitive scalp that does not tolerate a lot of oils/heavy products.

 

[CarLiTa]

I'll join!! Think I need this to get my hair to the next level this coming year.

 

[natura87]

I'm in. I have DC's to use up. Also my hair could use it in this rough Korean wind.
