It blows my mind that I have been so inactive on LHCF that (1) I missed this challenge for almost a FULL year and (2) I let my subscription lapse :blush:

In any event, please count me IN for these last few months! Nix08

I've been wigging with 10 cornrows for 4 months. I take them down and put them back up periodically and blow dry once per month. I would love to add some DCing to the mix. I have never done so consistently. :nono:

My products: Coconut Oil & Trader Joe's Nourish... or Giovanni if I can't get to TJ's. I'll be baggying this evening. So excited!

Since this is my first time, I appreciate any tips/tricks!

karlajamaica Welcome to the challenge:welcome: We are glad to have you join us:yep:

I dc on dry hair (before I wash) because I hate jumping in and out of the shower. It has been very effective for me. It also allows me the opportunity to use tea or avg to dampen my hair so that I don't have to use as much product.
 
I mixed my yogurt DC mix with VO5 Shea Cashmere. This is my recipe:

1 c. yogurt powder or whole/coconut milk powder
.5 c. Egg yolk or whole egg powder
.5 c. honey powder
.25 c. keratin powder
.25 c. Royal jelly powder
2 T sea kelp powder
2 T silk peptide powder
1 t aloe leaf x100 powder

Whisk dry ingredients together until fully incorporated.

Add in wet ingredients:
1 c. Coconut oil
.5 c. Olive oil
.25 c. Aloe Vera juice
.5 t carrot seed oil
7 drops rosemary
6 drops thyme or basil
5 drops peppermint
Water, as needed to reach desired consistency.


In this case, instead of adding water, I stirred in two 15 oz. bottles of VO5 and got this:

It felt awesome going on and bulked up my mix so much that I have enough for 3-4 applications.

That looks like awesome mix!! Where'd you find the keratin powder and carrot seed oil?

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
I don't remember where the keratin powder came from. It's in a plastic bag with no reference :-(, so when I run out I'll have to switch to hydrolyzed keratin or hydrolyzed protein, which you can get from www.makingcosmetics.com or www.lotioncrafter.com. The carrot seed oil I got from www.fromnaturewithlove.com with an order of a bunch of other stuff. Next time I'll probably shop around more. Amazon has it, and it may even be cheaper if you have Prime. I got 55 lbs of shea butter on Amazon, so it's becoming my go-to. :-)

DCed with Keracare Super Reconstructor followed by Affirm 5 in 1 Reconstructor per the instructions. Hair is nice and soft again.
 
DCing with AO Swimmer's Conditioner on the left and AO Blue Chamomile on the right. AOBC goes on smoother. Sitting under my heat cap now though to see which has a better final result after rinse.
 
I'm doing a heated DC under my bonnet just cuz I have so much DC left. I stored it in the fridge, so when I scooped it out, it was the consistency of whipped ice cream, but super easy to scoop out.

Why do I want to eat all my mixes? :-/

Duchess007;19101191[/USER]]faithVA So which one was the winner?

I'm going to have to do it again. I bought a new Mastek heat cap which is lousy. So after 45 minutes, my hair was still cold. I like the way the AOBC feels going on over the AO Swimmer's Conditioner but I couldn't tell the difference when I rinsed. I need heat though to get the effects of a conditioner.

That's my short answer :lol:

Wonder what's wrong with your heat cap? I was looking at getting one but... er... apparently my head is rather large. :-/

Anyway, now I'll know not to buy this one. I just use a bonnet for now. Are you using a heat cap so you can be mobile?

I hate a dryer :nono: I had a hot n gold which worked well. I had it about 4 years and it stopped working a few weeks ago, so I bought this one because it had good reviews. It is definitely smaller. With the hot n gold I could get it on with 6 croc clips in my hair. With the Mastek I can't have anything in my hair. The Mastek got really hot but when I felt my hair it was a little warm but completely cold in the back. The Hot N Gold never got hot but my hair would be very warm.

I am going to buy another Hot N Gold this weekend. Going to see if I can find a discount coupon for Sally's.

THANK you for this because I had to FORCE myself back in the shower to rinse last weekend. Something about finally getting dry then getting wet again.
 
Hello Delicious Ladies!

Okay, so I knew that as a DC newbie there would be a learning curve, but I learned A LOT this week.

1. Firstly, it would have been wise of me to carefully assess my hair needs before diving in with a high moisture regiment. It quickly became apparent AFTER the DC that I am in dire need of a protein treatment--yikes! So, even though my hair was super soft it was also super streeeeeetchy. Uh oh. RIP to the hairs I lost in the struggle.

2. I really have to stop going so long between detangling sessions.

3. While I am in cornrows (wigging) I think I will be better off lightly spritzing my hair with moisturizer and a sealant and DCing the ends only. I will try a full head DC every time I take my hair down.

I feel that following a full head DC I should be able to detangle with a wide tooth comb and remove shed hairs, which I can't do when I'm braided up.

Just applied TJ's Nourish conditioner to my ends and topped with coconut oil. The next time I take down my hair I will do a hard protein treatment then DC.
 
Steaming with SSI Riche Moisture Masque, Joico Moisure Recovery Treatment Balm, Roux Porosity control and KeraVada Amla mix for 30 minutes.
 
I've been horrible with this challenge and my regimen for the 1st time ever during my hair journey. Well after the detangling session I had yesterday I'm back to business starting with some TLC! I'm DC with Vitale Hair Mayo then following up with Organix Macadamia DC 15 each under the dryer.
