DCd to day for 2hrs 30mins w/heat with BWC Moisture plus condish

 

[amwcah]

DCed with ORS Replenishing Conditioner tonight

 

[faithVA]

I DCd with AO Blue Chamomile. I really like it as a DC I usually cowash after I DC but I may try using it as DC and then just putting in my leave-in. I like this even better than AO White Camellia.

Is the Chamomile like GPB or is it strictly moisture?

It is not like GBP, it isn't a balancing conditioner. It has mild protein in it. But it is labled a hydrating conditioner. For my hair it seems to be that moisturizes and smoothes the best.

I've had my eye on this one. We don't hear much about this one around these parts. GPB is my favorite, but I think I will try this one too.

The reason I think we don't hear much about it is because it's hard to find. The only reason I even know about it is because I picked it up by mistake. I went to pick up White Camellia and got to the store and couldn't remember the name. So I picked up the Blue Chamomile. But I have been to various stores and online sites and they don't carry it. But its probably because it hasn't become popular and there is little demand. I have tried most of the others and I will be making this one my number one.

 

[mschristine]

I thought I had a couple of uses of my ORS replenishing conditioner left but I ended up using all of it during my last DC session. So I have to get either AOGPB or Giovanni 50/50. I need a balanced DC that's more....natural. Not sure which one I'm going to get....

 

[divachyk]

HV SitriNillah (steamed for 45 mins)

 

[lamaria211]

Anyone here ever use a non DC (cheapie) to deep condition? If so what were your results? TIA

 

[Nix08]

I did a simple DC today (feel like I havent' done a delightfully delicious one in a while).
Tea spritz
Giovanni 50:50 with agave
Steamed....

Well it's not a cheapie but it isn't sold as a DC but I use Redken All Soft as a DC and I love it! Makes my hair so soft

Thanks...I have Redken Smooth Down Butter Treatment (in the tube) have you ever tried that one, it states it can also be used as a leave in

 

[Americka]

I am doing a protein DC - Palmer's Coconut Deep Conditioner. It will be followed by a DC w/ Skala Shea Butter.

 

[JulietWhiskey]

Saturday, I DCed on dry hair for 30 minutes with heat using Doo Gro Mega Thick Reconstructor with keratin. Followed up by using Nature's Gate Aloe Condish, Organic Now! Condish and agave nectar to keep my hair moisturized. Yesterday, I DCed on dry hair for 30 minutues with heat using Giovanni Nutrafix, Nature's Gate Aloe Condish, agave nectar and EVOO. Followed up by using Giovanni Nutrafix as a leave-in, putting my hair in a bun, slathering my ends and elastic with Blue Magic Coconut Grease, using Olive Oil EcoStyler to slick down the front and covering my hair with a satin scarf. I will continue to wet bun through out the week.

As for the Doo Gro, I'm thinking of leaving this behind and mixing a few tablespoons of the Aphogee Green Tea Reconstructor in with my Giovanni Nutrafix to get a monthly protein treatment. Any thoughts?

 

[leona2025]

My hair is feeling super soft and flowy even tho it's airdryed. I washed with Motions Lavish Shampoo (ran out of my Creme of Nature shampoos. I love them) and then I did Aphogee 2 minute for 10 minutes.

I mixed ORS Nourishing Conditioner with some jazzing clear rinse and 2 table spoons of Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise to refresh my color. I Dc no heat for 24 hours rinsed out and a applied my Elasta qp moisturizer, Blue Magic Coconut oil grease, and Oragnix Anti breakage serum. My hair is super shiny and I am loving my high bun today, lol.
