2014 Deep Condition Challenge

Mixed Giovanni Nutrafix & Komaza Care Protein Strengthener for a treatment. I'm not sure what I'll use as my moisturizing deep conditioner... but I will use my steamer.

Followed up with a mix of Aubrey Organics White Camellia and Honeysuckle Rose conditioners. I'm too lazy to sit under the steamer right now, so I may just keep it in overnight. :look:
 
Used Komaza protein treatment and sat under the dryer for 45 minutes. Rinsed and followed with SM Restorative conditioner under the dryer for 45 minutes.
 
I ran out of my big jug of homemade DC, so I made a mix of coconut oil, grapeseed oil, yogurt powder, whole milk powder, gelatin, aloe juice, and tea tree. I DC'd yesterday for about 3 hours while cleaning around the house.

I think I need to start using heat again... body temp DCing doesn't seem as effective to me. It may be time to try a steamer... I've been dying to get one anyway. ;o)
 
Pre-poo'd with Vatika Frosting under my hot head for about 3 hours. Steaming with It's a 10 DC and vatika frosting right now.
 
Prepooed with HV Vatika Frosting for about 2 hours under Hair Therapy Wrap. Am now dcing with HV Vatika Frosting under SDVS.

toaster. ;)
 
I plan to relax tonight so I'll do a quick DC (as I have an early and full day tomorrow) and a thorough DC on Sunday.
 
I slept in Curl Junkie curl rehab after my henna gloss. I was exhausted. I never do this. This week has been insane due to a tiny, matted,lost Maltese showing up in our fenced (side-eye) backyard, sitting on our patio furniture the other morning. I want to cry from the drama.


I steamed my henna gloss concoction in. I really want to steam again today. I usually follow my henna up with either millcreek keratin or bask whiskey for protein and then curl rehab or bask cocoa treat for my moisturizing DC.






Eta: The dog is still here. $300 dollars for vet bill for a lost dog that isn't ours. That is my hair product money. :cries:

^^^Awwww. You're a nice person. :yep:


Made a new batch of DC last night. The base is 1 cup of Shea + 20 oz (1 bottle) of Spa Haus conditioner (INGREDIENTS: water, glycerin, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate SE, cetrimonium chloride, stearalkonium chloride, panthenol, hydrolyzed soy protein, olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, tetrasodium EDTA, aloe leaf juice, fragrance, citric acid, Methylchlorosothiazolinone, Methylaothiazolinone)

Then I mixed in the powders: 1 c. yogurt powder, 1 c. egg yolk powder, 1/3 c. honey powder, 2 T royal jelly powder, 2 T neem powder, 2 T aloe vera x100 powder, 1/3 c. silk peptide powder.

And the liquids: 1/2 c. apple cider vinegar, 2 T gelatin dissolved in 1/3 c. warmed aloe vera juice, 1 t tea tree oil, 10 drops basil EO, 1 t lavender EO, 1 t peppermint EO

Then the oils: 1/2 c. safflower, 1 c. coconut, 1/4 c. garlic

While that mix was setting, I thickened a can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk on the stove and chilled it in the fridge until it was room temp. Then I mixed 2 TBSP homemade coffee infused oil into the coconut milk and added that to the mixture. I chilled it in the fridge overnight so that the mixture could thicken and set (it was still very liquid-y when I poured it into the storage containers).

This is it this morning (I took it out of the fridge several hours ago to come to room temp):

1 hour protein prepoo with Vatika Frosting and JASON Biotin Conditioner. Will also steam with It's a 10 DC and Vatika Frosting.
 
DC'd with ORS hair repair nourishing conditioner, first time I be used it. Loved it. My curls were poppin, it had great slip, and I feel like I got a protein boost too. I got it in a pack from Sally's. It might take the place of my ORS replenishing pak. I'll DC with that next week and see how I like them.
