2014 Deep Condition Challenge

IronButterfly

I ordered the plain Lime. I thought the Lime Cupcake would smell too sweet for my tastes.

I know what you mean about the wait times. Sometimes items take so long that I completely forget I ordered them. Then, SURPRISE! A package in the mail...
 
I am in, late but ready to make some changes. Using Aubrey's twice a week. Recently had five inches chopped I"m really down about it above ear length again
 
I haven't checked in for about two weeks. I just had to wash my hair tonight. I am Pre-pooing with SM purification masque now. I will steam for 30-45 minutes with Bee Mine Deep conditioner along with my oil mix. I will style with Hairveda almond glaze and something. I'm not sure. I am trying to use up all opened products. Wish me luck!!

I was able to finish two products tonight YAY!! Naturelle Grow Herbal blends and SMPM (repurchases). I deep conditioned with the herbal blends for 45 minutes instead of bee mines. Continued great results!!! I was able to style my hair with ease. I love my steamer!!! I styled my hair in twists with Hairveda's Herbal green tea cream(first time using) and Qhemets Cocoa tree detangling ghee(not a repurchase) sealed my ends with Anita Grant's whipped butter monoi de Tahiti.
 
I looked at my previous posts and realized I hadn't used any protein in a while.

I used Millcreek Botanicals Keratin with Giovanni Nutrafix on top under a Baggie for a few hours. I am going to air dry my hair and then DC with Curl Junkie Deep Fix. I am going to start only dry dc'ing and not handling my hair wet unless I am rinsing. I will do this until May and see what happens.
 
Steaming with It's a 10 DC and my oil mix on top. I swear I'm a broken record in all of these challenges, but the product line works well for me so instead of spending money on different products I've been buying hair accessories and rollers.

I didn't dc with curl junkie. I let my hair shrink up when it air dried. I didn't put it in big braids or twists. I decided I was going just braid it up for a braid out. I used ctdg and hair dew.

I had maybe 2 broken hairs. My hair does not want to be messed with wet. Dry dcs and air drying without handling it until dry is the way for me to go. This was exciting.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I DC with Redken Extreme Strength Builder plus on dry hair for 15-20 minutes. I washed with Mizani Thermasmooth shampoo followed by conditioner for 10 minutes under dryer.
 
DC ing with AO GPB under plastic cap for a few hours now... I'll rinse before bed so I can air dry. I've heard so many good things about this "light protein" conditioner, I could really use the extra strength!

I'm under the heat cap with step 1 of the HV Methi Sativa set, I bought on BF.

Now, I'm under the heat cap again with step 2 of the HV Methi Sativa set.

I should have done this earlier due to two steps. I didn't take into consideration allowing my hair to cool off, before rinsing etc. I'll have to scrap the flexi rod set I was going to do, and fall back on "old faithful," my signature braid out, because I'm starting to get tired.
 
I ran out of SSI Banana Brulee halfway through my head, so I'm doing a DC overnight with Banana Brulee on the right and Hairveda Sitrinillah on the left

Today I am dry dc'ing with curl junkie deep fix or whatever it is called on dry hair.

My hair didn't feel hard or brittle after using millcreek keratin with Giovanni nutrafix on top and not dc'ing with moisture.

It is freezing here so I don't want to take any chances with thirsty strands.

Dc'ing now with Silk Dreams Shea What Deux, Porosity Control, Manuka Honey, Peppermint, and Rosemary oil.
 
Rinsed out the curl junkie and air drying loose.

DCed o/n with the mixed chicks DC and I didn't use heat o/steam and def. noticed the difference when I rinsed.

I'm thinking that hot oil treatments have more effect on my hair than deep conditioning. I may go down to 1 DC a week and supplement with h.o.t.s. If anyone has any advice or thoughts on this, love to hear it.

I've definitely noticed more improvement on my hair once I started incorporating h.o.t.s and steaming, within a month I saw more improvement than the time I had been DC'ing with a hooded dryer and no oil treatments.

Oh and while I'm rambling I'll mention that in another week it will be 6 months without heat for me, a noteworthy milestone on my journey so yay me!!
