Steamed with sweet almond oil, applied Claudie's Protein Conditioner which will remain in overnight, will cowash in the morning with Oyin's Honey Hemp.
 
Thanks @halee_J! So glad to be in this challenge....also in the 'use your stash' challenge and i am targeting conditioners and a great big bag of BAQ henna :yep:
I am natural although with that said my hair wasn't a big fan of protein even when i was relaxed....it could still only stand about one healthy dose per month - go figure, right? :perplexed cuz i hear from a lot of ladies with relaxed tresses that more protein than less is best. also and btw, protein free condish is not all that easy to find :nono:- they are out there for sure but most condish i normally find in the store have protein. since henna is so heavy in protein, i just use it once a month and then a protein free condish for the rest of the month. i have 4b/4a hair and live where it is really hot for most of the year so my hair gets extremely dry...for me it's all the moisture infusion baby! :clap::headspin:

Welcome aboard @coyacoy :grin: 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 :)

DC'ed for 30 mins under a hooded dryer with Curl Junkie Daily Hair Conditioner last night. I normally do 15 mins so it was a struggle to stay under there for an additional 15 (I hate the dryer). Anywho, I'm not sure I like this conditioner as a DC'er nor a detangler. It does make my hair feel real soft after I wash it out. Oh well, I will finish this bottle and then move on.
 
coyacoy it is really hard to find a protein free DC, but I find there are some DC's with mild proteins, like silk and collagen that are moisturizing.The replenishing conditioner from ORS is one, ever tried it? My hair is weird, my natural hair doesn't like protein, but the relaxed hair loves it. The ORS condish seems to work on both. Have you ever done a henna gloss? Now that I'm 7 months post relaxer I find that my ng doesn't like the full strength henna.
 
I deep conditioned with alter ego again. I made my mother try it mixed with the hempseed oil and she keeps walking around the house saying "my hair is so soft". I'm looking to straighten my hair this weekend and see how it turns out so i will be dc'ing with with oil and trader joe's overnight wash it out in the morning and dc again with heat for a 30 minutes.
 
DCing at the moment with Giovanni SAS and 50:50 with a tbs of Safflower Oil.....will sit under the heating cap for like 45mins and cool off for 15 mins

yes, i love a henna gloss!! i haven't tried it any other way actually just becase i know it will dry my hair out something terrible and i am not in it for the color :-)........i haven't tried ORS, but I see it popping up frequently on this board and others (i think one of the 'best dc' threads). hmmmmm, you have me intrigued, halee_J; i might just have to try it once i finish using up some of my other products!

Usual routine...poo'ed last night with my favorite Chargin Valley poo bar and DC'ed overnight with AOHSR mixed with my ceramide oils.

Applied rosehip seed oil, Giovanni Direct leave in, and a tad of KCCC to my braids. Will be doing a braid out later on! :lick:

Lita - :yep: I just remembered that this morning, thanks!!! You know I'mma hit that up!!

:look: I already ran through Jasmines! :lick:
 
DC'ing with Oyin Whipped Pudding and EVCO on dry hair overnight. Will wash out very early in the morning.... and twist and curl for my photoshoot later in the afternoon :cool2:!!!
 
I was about to steam and my steamer overheated and started spitting out water like crazy!!! I had to steam with a towel! :sad: I hope I can fix it.
 
O/N DCd with Kenra. This morning my hair felt super soft. Attempted to roller set. Apparently I was feeling quite accomplished. Yep, that quickly fizzled as the roller setting attempt got underway.

ETA: Received my BFH shipment today. Can't wait to use it!

What Did you Get From Bear Fruit Hair?:lick:
 
DC'd today using curl junkie moisture rehab following my monthly henna....steamed each - henna for 60 and curl junkie for 35....braided it up as my PS using the deep moisture method for the first time.....will see whether the braids will hold up the whole 4 weeks with regular weekly washes and DC's .....:drunk:
 
@halee_J

I took it apart. I'm gonna let it chill for a few days. that tripped me out. But when it got shipped for my move from Cali to ATL, the idiot movers just threw everything in bog boxes. When it got delivered they had me sign something saying I received everything so they could leave and of course I found the damage AFTER I unpacked it!! :mad:
