2014 Deep Condition Challenge

[HanaKuroi]

I love thick, slippy conditioners. I am about to order another liter of Curl Junkie Curl Rehab for cowashing. I hate, I mean hate watery conditioners. It is so soothing to smooth it on and slick my hair down in six big braids. I will leave this on all day.

DC'd with HV SitriNillah, just used up my last jar. Even though this DC is very moisturizing I won't repurchase - I could only get 2-3 uses from each container plus I'm trying to use only products I can purchase on the ground.

You're using 4-8 oz of DC per session? How long is your hair? Also, how dense is it?

It must be yummy to need 8 oz of DC per session.

MileHighDiva My hair is very dense but it is only APL. Maybe I'm being too heavy handed but the most I've gotten is 3 uses. Also my hair completely soaks it in, most times by the time I'm ready to rinse I can see very little white/condish sitting on my hair

Steaming with: Curl Junkie's Deep Fix Banana & Hibiscus DC'er

 

[sunnieb]

@sunnieb do you put the honey in an applicator bottle and apply or do you mix it in with your conditioner?

Nix08 I use my hands to apply the honey directly to my (extremely) wet hair.

It took me a while of doing it weekly to get it down, but I'm a honey pro now!

DC overnight with SSI Banana Brulee. It smells more subtle to me than the Moisture Riche

 

[KiLLaCarLi]

DC'ing with AOHSR + oils and steam, o/n.
I shampooed and DC'ed Tuesday with MCDC + oils & steam & o/n.

Girl, I'm jelly of you high density ladies! Only getting three uses out of a 16 oz jar is a problem I'd like to have,

What's with the it's only APL? There's a lot of ladies who aren't

I'm tardy to the party, but better late than never...

I cut my hair from struggle WL to full MBL yesterday and I want to get those inches back! (Guess I need to change my siggy pic)

Hadn't deep conditioned in a year, smh, but this morning I applied ORS Protein Mayo and covered with a cap for two hours. Rinsed and then sat with Suave Almond and Shea Butter for two hours.

My hair is smooth like butta!

 

[ChristmasCarol]

Dc'ing with honey right now. Will rinse in about 10 minutes.

I notice that my newgrowth is less tangled now that I'm consistently using honey as a dc once a week. I'm 18 weeks post and haven't had to use a detangling spray at all.

sunnieb

Have you noticed any lightening of your hair since you began using honey?

 

[sunnieb]

sipp100 Yep and I love it! My hair is still dark, but with light brown hues mixed in.

If you don't want the lightening effect, just heat the honey (about 10-12 seconds in the microwave) before application.

 

[felic1]

Deep conditioned yesterday with CD BV smoothie

 

[MayaNatural]

Steamed DC for 45 minutes with KV coffee oil under BelNouvo DT..

 

[Lilmama1011]

Bout to deep condition with quantum conditioner be cause it has hydrolyzed protein, trying to get some protein in there lol

 

[Healthb4Length]

Deep conditioning tonight with AO WC under dryer for 25 minutes.

 

[SugarRush]

MileHighDiva seeing all the MBL/WL ladies here and YT can sometimes change your perception of length

 

[Nix08]

Planning an overnight DC with Biolage Matrix Aqua Immersion on my new growth. Aubrey Blue camomile on the length with Aubrey Rosa Mosqueta over it and a heavy oiling from root to tip.

 

[ChristmasCarol]

Thanks! sunnieb

Actually, I want highlights without chemically coloring my hair. My hair turns sandy very easily in the summer, but since I've been using ceramide oils to block the damaging UV rays for the past few years - no sun bleaching has occured.

AndreasChoice has a tutorial on lightening hair with honey, but I thought maybe she had Unicorn hair, lol.

 

[sunnieb]

sipp100 I love my honey highlights! I posted a pic of my highlights in the relaxed hair honey thread.

[theRaven]
