2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I would like to Join, I will DC my hair 1x per week using VO5 Moisture Milks Conditioners at this time. I plan to change my DC just finishing up my V05 and hoping to DC 2x a week. This is the first year I am doing challenges, I have a question I notice a lot of people DC with steam or heat is that better for your hair?
Thanks,

 

[Nix08]

Sunshinelove32 heat helps take the dc to another level. The idea is that the heat raises the cuticles on your hair shaft which would allow better penetration of the conditioner. Granted you will find some who disagree I would encourage you to try your dc with and without heat and let us know which you prefer

Nix08 Thanks so much, I have done it without heat for years. I will try with the heat this year. Is it better to get a heat cap or a steamer? (sorry I am clueless about the heat)

 

[Nix08]

Sunshinelove32 I have and love my steamer and I would recommend one. .. however.... there are some who find them useless and an unnecessary expense.
I'd want one to try for myself personally so I'd get it and gift it away if I didn't like it. BUT if you could try one at a salon that would be ideal.

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

Nix08 It has been over 2yrs since i have been to a Salon, I maybe better off purchasing a steamer. I am going to do some research, and hopefully I will have one by the end of this month. I will keep you updated.

 

[Nix08]

Fair enough Sunshinelove32 I haven't been to a salon in a while myself

Nix08 Can you please recommend a steamer? I've also been thinking of purchasing one because I think it'll make my transition easier. TIA

 

[Nix08]

SugarRush a popular one is the LCL steamer from salonsrus.com. I'd recommend a stand up one. The heautiful (sp? ) or other table top's I've heard doesn't get the nape well.... there are ways around that though.

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

Looks like I'll be getting a standing steamer from what I've been reading . I'll check out the LCL steamers and hopefully get one by the end of the month. Thanks Nix08

Has anyone ever thought about sitting under a lamp if you dont have a hooded dryer or am I thinking too far outside of the box??

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I'm jumping in again ladies. This challenge helped me to keep track of my DC's so I'm becoming more consistent with my DC's. I'll be DCing once a week with my own DC mix or Cantu Deep Conditioning Treatment Masque, with heat or without heat for more than 30 minutes

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

I'm in again for all sessions!
DC 2-3 times a wk depending on the NG status, alternating moisture and protein under my dryer for 30-45 minutes. I like the health DC gives along with retention and how manageable it makes my hair and NG.
I brung in the new year with Vitale Corrective Conditioner for 30 minutes.

 

[mschristine]

I'm in!! I'm relaxed and looking for stronger hair and more retention. I will DC once a week with heat..just got a heating cap a few weeks ago. I'll be alternating between ORS hair repair nourishing conditioner for protein and Nexxus Humectress for moisture

To those who use Joico moisture recovery to DC, are you using the version that comes in a big blue bottle?

I currently use the blue bottle conditoner to cowash (love it!) but I've never used it to DC because it doesn't say deep conditoner on the bottle. Also, the directions say to leave it on for 5-10minutes.

How do you guys use it to DC? Do yiu just leave it on longer? I would really like to know.

TIA! Also, can you please @ me if you reply?

Eta: can you use it on dry hair and still get good results?

belletropjolie - I've used the Joico Moisture Recovery Balm to DC, and let sit for however long. It comes in a tube and I think in a jar.
