2014 Deep Condition Challenge

[Harina]

Anyone deep condition on dry dirty hair? Going to remove braids and was wanting to just slap on dc right afterwards. Then wash and conditioner afterwards. I guess it would kind of be a pre-poo.

Harina I only dc on dry dirty hair. It works perfectly for me

Twists are out, will use the SheScentIt Okra Reconstructor and will follow up with either the Hairveda Moist Condition or Avocado Conditioner (used the avocado conditioner last time and it worked out great)

I do need some more moisture DCs for my post Protein treatments after I take my protective styles down.

I do it almost every time because I dc overnight before I wash.

What DCs do you use? How often do you dc/wash? Nix08

 

[Nix08]

I cowash about 3-5 days a week. I DC about twice a week. I use mainly Aubrey conditioners (RM, IN, GPB, BC and CL) to DC along with my own blend of fenugreek paste.
I also tea/coffee/oil rinse during my cowashes

@Harina Do you have fine hair? If I just removed braids, I would apply an oil and detangle before applying the conditioner.

I also condition on dry hair after pre-pooing with Vatika oil.

ETA: Conditioning with AO HSR mixed with SAA and castor oil on ~3in of ends.

Very fine yes. So after I apply the oil, probably will use coconut, I shouldn't wash it out, just put the dc right over it? And you mean finger detangle??

I'm currently using proclaim's argan oil deep conditioner. The last time I used this it was the bomb, now it's just so so.

I'm going to do that Keratin treatment next month because that's the only thing that truly every bulked up my individual strands. Having fine hair can be a pain sometimes.

Dc'd with HH deep c using my Q-Redew steamer

 

[Aggie]

I just gave myself a much needed DC with Affirm Positive Link mixed with Keracare Super Reconstructor and Duo tek Conditioners. I followed that up with 30 minutes of Affirm 5 in 1 Reconstructor which softened my hair up very nicely.

 

[sunnieb]

Dc'd last night with Motions CPR. My hair responded well, but I can tell I'm at the end of my relaxer cycle.

My newgrowth is getting more resistant each week, even after dc'ing. Maybe it's because the CPR is a light protein because my hair felt like butta after the honey dc on Wednesday.

Aggie, why are you mixing Keracare Super Reconstructor with DuoTex?

I'm curious about the Keracare because it has elastin in it. I have DuoTex, but I've haven't used it yet.

Still using up my beloved New Era Reconstructor, which is no longer available.

Please make sure you comb/brush your hair out. I had micro braids one time and I washed my hair. My hair locked up like crazy. I gave up trying to untangle my hair. So I BC after!

 

[nmartin20]

I have henna in my hair right now. I will deep condition my hair with curl rehab or Jessie Curl weekly deep treatment. Which one is the best moisturizing? I will use my hair therapy wrap. Thanks in advance!

MileHighDiva,

Truth be told, I love all the conditioners I used but I do NOT like the liquidy consistency of duo tek or my Keracare super reconstructor. When I whip them together like this, I get the best out of them all without the excessive dripping wetness down my neck plus, the outcome of my hair feels softer this way as well.

 

[Hibiscus30]

Clarified with Kenra then proceeded on with Komaza Protein Strengthening Cream
DC with Darcy Botanical conditioning Mask for 45mins under hooded dryer
Then applied Natural Oasis Honey Balm steamed for 15mins (no rinse)

 

[Pennefeather]

Tried new conditioner today - Nubian Heritage Hemp and Tamanu deep conditioner - 40 minutes under dryer- my hair did not like this. I was hoping that it would be similar to the Carol's Daughter Monoi mask, but no such luck. Both conditioners have monoi, coconut water, but Nubian heritage left my hair tangled and not soft - not hard, but not soft.

Rinsed with Carol's Daughter Monoi instant conditioner to restore moisture, and help with detangling.

I deep conditioned yesterday is Arbonne Pure Vibrance Masque. I steamed it in for 20 minutes and my hair is soooo soft. I am loving it!

DC with Curl Rehab along with my oil mixture. Much better now

 

[Harina]

So doing the layering dc with oil really worked for me. Put on olive and coconut oil, finger detangled, than slapped on my DC, Proclaim argan oil intense hydrating masque, for a couple of hours and voila, soft hair! Except for my front edges. Not sure what's going on there.

I used DC pumpkin seed conditioner as a leave in and Hairveda's almond glaze as a sealant. Great combination.

 

[sexypebbly]

Dc'ed with bear fruit hair pistachio dream dc for about an 1 and 20 min. 20 min with heat

 

[SuchaLady]

SuchaLady at the Wal-Mart salon they sell Biolage aqua immersion. ...I find it to be very hydrating

I may have to look for this tonight. It's an emergency.

 

[felic1]

I am interested in the CD monoi mask. I am not interested in paying what it costs.....

 

[SuchaLady]

Anyone know an extremely moisturizing conditioner that I can get at Walmart? I don't care about price. I am one year post.

How was the Cassia Treatment?
I'm considering it - since it supposedly imparts a nice shine.

 

[toaster]

20 minutes under my HotHead with Vatika Frosting, It's a 10 Conditioner, and my oil mix on top.

 

[uofmpanther]

You too uofmpanther I mixed up my quotes.

I DC at least once a week. For protein, I love Curl Junkie Repair Me and AO Island Naturals. For moisture, I'm still experimenting to find more, but I like Curl Junkie Hibiscus and Banana Deep Fix

 

[naturalagain2]

Didn't have time to post but I DC'd a few days ago w/ Silk elements Megasilk Olive Moisturizing Treatment mixed w/ Aphogee 2 min Reconstructor and Sweet Almond Oil.
I need to lay off the protein my next wash day....
