DOWNRIGHT DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE 2009 - PART 3!!!

[lennet93]

DC'ed yesterday with GVP conditioning balm for 30 minutes with heat and 1 hour without heat.

 

[flowinlocks]

Today I decided to actually wash my hair with poo, since I hadn't done so in about 2 months. I washed with Joico K-pak, then followed up with a dc of Joico K-pak, Cholesterol, & Jason's natural Biotin cond. Infused with my Ayurvedic powders. Let me just say I think I'm getting to the point where my hair hates regular poo. When I finally rinsed after about 2 hours, it felt NOTHING like when I use my powders to washerplexed It's one of those things, as long as I didn't have anything to compare the poo to, it didn't make a difference, but now that I know..... I don't ever want to go back Even though I'm 9 wks. post, I still have soft moist hair when I'm done with my treatments. It's like the poo stripped all of my hard work away.... I have had the same result twice before when I tried to go back to poo.

Pre-pooed with Pantene R&N Deep Condish Mask mixed with melted shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and honey (my hot oil treatment as well). After poo, I DC with SE Mega Cholesterol without heat for 45 minutes.

Checking in..(hangs head in shame) DC yesterday w/ Pantene Nourish Noir hair mask added honey, EVOO, and Menthi Setvia (sp) Tea. This is my 1st DC in about 2 weeks. I'll step it up....

, you should be very ashamed of yourself joytimes10, I mean 2 weeks, that's just a downright shame. But it's good that you're back on track and decided to step it up a bit. Good luck.

 

[Aggie]

I have so missed being here. Just back from Haiti and I did manage t get in one dc last week.

I am doing an ors repl. pack right now.

Welcome back silentdove13.

Yesterday I washed with ayurvedic powders and tried a new deep moisturising conditioner I never heard of that was on sale at Sally's. It was crap. Left my hair dry

Sorry this happened to you evsbaby. I trust you have another DC you can use to correct this mishap?

 

[Aggie]

Can I be in this with my natural stuff? I don't use any of the conditioners used here. This is what I'll be using if I qualify...

Olive oil/honey for moisturizing
Coconut milk/honey for moisturzing with light protein
Egg whites/yogurt for protein

Girl you know you're in. These are at home treatments that are also acceptable for the challenge. I welcome all natural, organic, commercial, kitchen products, etc, as long as they make a difference in the health of your hair, they qualify.

Yes Aggie and my hair felt great!!! I actually posted what I did in the Protein is my friend thread. My hair felt so much better when I was finished. Hadn't been moisturizing like I should have been after my protein tx's and my hair was breaking and shedding. So hopefully I fixed it.

 

[chebaby]

tonight i am going to pre poo with coconut milk mixed with castor oil and honey and then deep conditioner with silk elements mixed with coconut and castor oil.

UPDATE:
My DC Schedule so far:
1) Jan. 4 - Avocado and Egg Mix - 1 hour
2) Jan. 10 - Sap Moss Conditioner - 30 min
3) Jan. 13 - Tresemme Natural Conditioner - 3 hours (yup, hours!)
4) Jan. 19 - Sap Moss Conditioner + EVOO + Mayo - 30 mins
5) Jan. 27 - Mayo + EVOO - 30 mins (wanted to go longer, but... had to get ready for work... )
6) Jan. 30 - Coconut Milk + EVOO + Tresemme Natural Conditioner - 3 hours. Usually, I'm all hyped about my next move, but now I'm a little erplexed. Although, my hair initially responded well to treatment, my scalp began itching something crazy... Not sure what I might have done to it, during the week, to cause such a crazy reaction. Gonna stick with the basics for a while...

Planning on DC'ing again with my Aveda Sap Moss. My hair LOVES this stuff!

me~

Yes girl tgrowe, moisture is our friend too and I think that many of the ladies that have joined the Protein is my friend challenge will need to start using more moisture or the "hurr" will rebel and it won't be pretty. I sure hope the others haven't forgotten to moisturize and DC.

I went almost 2 weeks without protein because of my henna treatment. My hair throws tantrums when I don't give her what she needs so I try not to take risks with her. I watch my hair very closely, consistently checking how much stretch or lack thereof is in it.

 

[SCarolinaGirl]

I washed my hair with chemistry poo (sulfate free) and deep conditioned with a mix of NTM deep recovery mask, coconut oil, aloe vera and a little mega tek. I then applied some NTM silk touch leave in and coconut oil. My hair is now braided up for my braidout tomorrow.

 

[FunJoy!]

I just bought a 60 ounce jar of SILICON MIX!!! Can't wait to get it, I also bought a heating cap....mmmm my hair is going to eat well!!! YUM!

 

[TdotGirl]

I just finished DCing with SitriNillah & Castor oil for an hour with heat.

Yay for this thread. I've been consistent with this so far and I plan to keep going. Thanks Aggie.

Wow you have quite a schedule going on here lp. I used to do this too but my hair said mama, don't do that to me. Now I just wait for wash day, do my moisture/protein checks, and give it what I feel it needs then. Everyone is different I suppose.

DC last night with Elucence Moisture Balance

I'm very glad to see that you haven't given up on your hair CD, and a new 60 oz jar of silicon mix and a heating cap are proofs of that. Happy growing girl.

No I haven't used that one and surpringly never got that strong desire to buy it, dunno why. I did use Miss Keys 10 in 1 about a year ago but my hair didn't like it so my sis and her 2 daughters finished it off. They don't really pay attention to how their hair feels when they wash it, but I do.

 

[anewday]

I am seeing major improvements in my hair

I think my hair and your hair are sisters, because... Oooh Wee!! She don't like some of what I'm doing no way! I'm just gonna nurture back to good health.

[msdeevee]

Can I join in at this late date.

I think this may be the one thing that I'm sleeping on. I usually get tired of my hair and I usually skip the DC step. I co-wash and use leave-ins and even though my regi has gotten better I'm seeing a setback with my hair.

My hair should be much longer than it is and my ends are dry as dead leaves even with sealing with coconut oil and castor oil.

I'll be using a mix of things until I find what really gives me the moisture I need.

Such as: hot oil treatments, Aveda Damage remedy, ORS, Mizani and so on.

 

[yodie]

I dc'd today with a mixture of WEN Fig and Olive Oil. My hair always feels great after I DC with Olive Oil.

Using OCT/MT made my hair verrrrry dry, but DCing twice a week has really helped.

 

[Chameleonchick]

DCing with MegaSilk/Pantene Mask now
