washed with ORS Aloe clarifying, gonna DC with Sitrinillah and ORS Replenishing.... went swimming and im doing damage control lol
 
DCing with Mizani Intense Moisture treatment mixed with emu, sunflower, olive and JBCO. I am toying with the idea of leaving it in overnight.
 
I DC'd on Friday with Natures Therapy Mega Moisture. Sadly this conditioner didn't do much for my hair :( I tried it overnight and with heat but it wasn't as good as my faves CON Intensive w/Argan or Silk Elements Intensive Mayo. I'm glad I finally used it all up, all it did for my hair was make it smell good...
 
Oh I also bought some bioinfusion deep conditioning masque from Walgreen's and was wondering if anyone else has used it. The ingredients sounded great. It contains Coconut Oil (which is the 3rd listed ingredient :) and Olive oil. Plus it's paraben and sulfate free, so I figured I'd try it :yep:
 
DCed on dry hair for 4+ hours, no heat using Giovanni Smooth as Silk Reconstructor, agave nectar, honey quat, SAA, glycerin and olive oil. I detangled, rinsed and use GSASR + glycerin to twist my hair and sealed with Vaseline.

SN: adding glycerin to my lotion has does wonders for my eczema! My hands are looking and feeling brand new!
 
Dry DC last night for about 1 hour with giovanni SAS Deeper Moisture....I still really like my Giovanni:yep:
 
Will be DC'ing by doing a black henna application, followed by an herbal tea and coffee rinse, and my deep treatment mask (will probably use ORS replenishing pack mixed with Vatika and Brahmi oils).
 
I've been deep conditioning in the shower in place of cowashing and my hair is loving it during these hot steamy months. :yep:

@IDareT'sHair and @Shay72 Do you ladies put conditioner in say a bowl then add the agave and mix it before adding it to your hair?
I'm lazy I normally just layer on my products.....

I always thought it was odd that you layer. I have a color bowl that I use. I mix everything in that and then apply. I know you didn't ask me but I thought I would add my 2cents:lol:

I think I'm going to DC on dry hair with steam tonight.
 
Nix08, I combine all my ingredients vs. layering whenever I'm playing mixologist. I've somehow convinced myself that combining ingredients makes the perfect blend vs. layering might cause one ingredient to absorb less/more than another. Crazy, I know.

Looks like I'm the only lazy one around here:look: When I layer I do it in a 'special order' though:perplexed: The other day I mixed it all and I mixed up way too much, :nono: so went back to my layering.

ETA: The reason for you @divachyk not layering is the reason that I actually layer. I layer it in order of which ingredient I want more concentrated. This hair journey brings out all kinds of madness:grin:

I try to mix it right in the same container if I can. I'm that lazy. If not I have extra bottles and jars that I can mix stuff in.
 
Sitting under the dryer with ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment. I will follow-up with the Balancing Moisturizer and DC with NTM Hair Mask or SE MegaSilk Moisturizing Treatment.
 
dc'ing with shea moisture restorative. i also slathered some of my crazy oil & butter mix that ive had for a long time on top. havent used it in a long time either, there's oyin burnt sugar pomade, castor oil, sunflower oil, cocoa butter...and some other stuff i dont even remember...it's been that long since ive used it.

will rinse in the morning before work and wear it in pinned back ponytails to stretch my hair for twists after work in the evening.
 
Dcing as we speak with my tresemme naturals conditioner mixup with avj glycerin and Shea , with heat. Need to inject some moisture back into my hair after trying Dabur Amla oil and my hair totally rejected it. I had to shampoo three times to wash it out. It was the mineral oil that did not jive with my hair.
 
I haven't been as diligent with this as I was at first.

Last weekend I did a henna gloss with AOHSR, EVOO, avocado oil, and honey added to my premixed & thawed paste of Yemeni henna, amla, bhringaraj, brahmi, chamomile tea, honey, and AVJ. I'm trying to decide whether to keep henna in my regimen at all since, even with extensive steaming and overnight DCs, all it's done so far is make my hair (more) dry and hard(er). I'm leaning toward using up the last of what I have and switching to a rhassoul DC.

I'm contemplating trying a gloss one more time this weekend with egg and a little fenugreek and only leaving it on for an hour or so, but I'm not sure I want to use henna in any concentration so soon. Though I initially thought it didn't do anything to my texture--I was enjoying defined, clumped curls at first--I'm now noticing more completely straight strands than ever. :ohwell:
