2012 DC Challenge Part III (July 1st- Sept 30th)

[lamaria211]

lamaria211, i was lucky to learn about clarifying very early when i started browsing through lhcf. Therefore, i always clarify the day of or at least a week before i try a new dc. The ones i mention were tried with heat, without heat, from 30mn to over 2 hours. Some with better results than others but nothing consistent or lasting over a couple of hours. SE megasilk dc is amazing on my hair. It makes my hair so soft that 2 days later i have to remind myself to moisturize and seal, kerastase masquintense is my baby daddy, lol. I am just speechless at how it makes even my damaged relaxed hair look and feel until next wash day. Thing is it's just dang expensive. Then there's my beloved ORS replenishing pack: strong, moisturized, shiny hair every single time. Those 3 never fail. I always have them handy when trying something new; in case i get tangled dry hair i just reach for one and problem fixed. That's why i don't bother with anything else anymore. I rotate those 3, sometimes mix 2 of them in 1 session. Maybe when my hair gets in healthy stable state i will revisit the other ones or play with new things, but until then i'm avoiding setbacks.

Im a pj so I have every condish you mentioned or two of them lol I actually have better results now that I dont use poo. I clarified one last time a few months ago now I only use Cleansing conditioners. I noticed adding protein regularly helped my hair retain moisture as well. Im glad you liked the Kerastase I have 3 unopened jars that I plan on trying out sometime soon (when I finish up some of my other ones) that SE treatment is one of my favs!
Maybe youll like One n Only Hydrating Hair Mask its great to. Or Kera Minerals Deep Conditioner Hth

And for protein i was using joico k-pak deep penetrating reconstructor every other week. And it was great. I was afraid of getting a bad product from online sellers. And since i can only get the guarantee of a genuine product at an authorized salon, i had to drive around until i find one near my place. Not convenient. So i now rotate kerastase masque force architecte with kerastase age recharge every 2 weeks. Those i can order online through the kerastase website, and i get free samples with each purchase. I want to invest in that line for about 6 months since my hair seems to respond well to it. Then i will look into something cheaper to keep my hair healthy. Thanks for the advice though. You just reminded me that when i skip my protein treatment, my moisture retention just sucks. Now i get it.

I have had my eyes on that one and only hydrating mask for the longest. Maybe i will pick one up at my next visit to sally. I will sure let you know how it goes.

sckri23 i have a couple of dc that either did not work well with me or did nothing for me to continue use. Most of them are sealed and i have never used. PM me if you are interested in any of the following. Macadamia nut deep repair masque ( open used only once; i used up the first jar with no results have no idea why i bother opening the second one.), 2 bottle of AOGPB, one bottle each of AOWC and AOHR all unopen brand new, ordered from amazon, one unopen jar of Agadir moisture mask with keratin, proclaim intense hydrating masque 16 oz jar. The following are about half full: Alterna 10 masque ( first 2 jars were great, but the third one was horrible. Don't know if my hair got used to it or if i got an old product.) Although the product looked similar to my previous purchases, it didn't give me the same results. Bee mine Be-u-ti-ful deep conditioner, and Shea moisture deep treatment masque. I'm in NY so if you're from the area shipping shouldn't be too bad.

Im in nc but ima pm you after my vaca
