Didn an Amla treatment yesterday and DCed with Paracute Coconut and Garlic conditioner. The DC was really thick and it felt like my hair would be coated once I rinsed it out, but surprisingly my hair was really soft.
Hey, ladies. Deep conditioned earlier this week with GPB and then
Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose and raw honey and oils. Also hennaed. Going to attempt twist extensions today. Hopefully, they'll turn out all right. I've been watching youtube videos and reading threads on braid maintenance like crazy and I think I have the technique down and procedures down pat. But, first I'm soaking my hair in a mixture of apple cider vinegar and hot water, so I dont' get the itchies.
I'm not big on going to salons or even having other people touch my hair, so if I can get really skilled, it'll solve my problems of having a protective style and keeping my hands out of my hair. I'll keep them in for 3 to 4 weeks. I think that's long enough. I don't to worry about matting.
Last night I quick washed, oil rinsed, conditioned and the result - not bad. It's good enough to hold me over. I didn't detangle last night. Just air dried, threw on satin scarf and today my top layer is nice and smooth but it's like ooo-weee under that layer though. My DC session calls. Likely will do it Mon since tomorrow is Easter.
So I pampered my hair today. I prepoo'd with Avocado Oil, JBCO, & Deva Curl One (trying to use this condish up..)
Cowashed and then dc with ORS Hair Mayo (can't use this stuff by itself so I mix a few things with it) Rosemary Oil, Suave Tropical Coconut, and Jojoba Oil...
My hair felt strong prob. because of the ORS Hair mayo. I needed to follow up with something more moisturizing so I mixed Deva Curl One, raw honey, AOHSR, and Peppermint Oil together. Man talk about stimulating. I felt so refreshed from the peppermint.
I don't feel like washing it out now so I will early in the morning and rollerset.
I am DCing at the moment using LeKair, Giovanni (2 kinds), and EVOO that has been sitting with garliac. I am under the conditioning cap and will be for a total of 45 mins....
count me sooooooooo in for this challenge! currently DC'ing once a week using a steamer. using deep moisture treatments w/o protein since i henna monthly. rotating curl junkie rehab deep moisture and my honey child's olive you. love em both.......and used the curl junkie yesterday
Welcome aboard coyacoy The only strengthening treatment you use is henna? Interesting, Are you natural? I wish I could do that but my relaxed hair loves protein. I do henna ~every 6 weeks and weekly mild protein treatments. Enjoy the DDDC
Finally got my Hair Veda ship notice on Friday --- oh boy, here comes some new goodies. TU next week, hopefully. I'll Kenra again this and next week. Then on to using new prods and keeping my Kenra for deep stretch.
Dcd over the weekend with se megasilk the olive oil version. My hair loves this stuff. I am also glad that I discovered he long term relationship leave in
This stuff is awesome.
Washed with KeraCare moisturizing poo/RedKen Dc/Sealed with Argan,Sesame & Walnut oil....
*My hair shed like crazy this weekend because-I used a pain patch on my arm (caused dry skin/flaky scalp) My skin & scalp /have been doing so well this year...YOU LIVE & LEARN...
*My hair & skin is back on track NOW! I had to do a lite blow dry...It was so crazy.
I'm going to try a mayonnaise DC treatment this weekend as opposed to the 2-step. Any ladies have experience with mayo...the kind for sandwiches not the yellow one with seeds from the beauty section. I'm curious and excited!
Checking in! I'm about to DC on dry hair...well, almost dry. I'm going to dampen my hair w/ aloe vera juice first, THEN DC w/ LS shea butter mango. I'll sit under the heating cap for about an hour.
