2014 Deep Condition Challenge

[ILuvCurls]

Hello @Nix08 Thank you for this challenge, I'm new here. My hair is natural and really needs help right now. I plan to DC 2x per week, alternating between Phytokeratine and Phytodensium (hoping that combination will give my hair a good protein/moisture balance).

About 2 days ago, I got so fed up with the extreme dryness, frizz, and flyaways that I decided to try something different. I divided clean dry hair in sections and very liberally applied EVCO plus a heat protectant. I then flat ironed small sections with 1 pass at the lowest setting (140 degrees fahrenheit) to help the oil penetrate for a deep conditioning effect. It also sealed it in. The photo below is the result. I just hope it's not damaging my hair to use heat with so much oil?

I had the most unusal experience yesterday. I did a pre poo with coconut sorbet, and some vatika frosting. I put some ssk okra on the length and then applied a combo of sm antibreakage, md calendula, NG herbal blends, a little black vanilla smoothie and some nubian heritage bamboo mask. I went under my portable dryer for an hour on low. I washed it out with IPN cleanser with walnut, some come clean shampoo, sm moisture retention shampoo. I then did a rinse out. I had so little in my comb an during finger detangling. It was less than a tablespoon. I am pretty sold on the deep conditioning prior to cleansing. Wow!

I haven't used this in a minute, but it never disappoint. I need to put it back in my rotation.

Used my L'Oreal advanced repair balm and my hair was so soft and easy to detangle. It's full of ceramides which are especially good for the hair follicle. Definitely will be using it again.

I deep conditioned yesterday with dove dry oil conditioner mixed with suave Rosemary mint conditioner with castor oil in it and honey

 

[Duchess007]

Am currently DCing with my f.a.k.e. cacao bark. It smells yummy and is nice and smooth. It feels stiffer than pudding, and not quite as airy as a soufflé. I like it but it takes a lot of work to make! Unless it blows my regular stuff out of the water, I'm going back to my usual mix. Gonna try making the YAM first tho.

I did a DC overnight yesterday with the last of my Hairveda Moisture Pro. It is very similar to Hairveda Acai Berry Phyto, but this may leave my hair slightly harder. I think I prefer both as a detangling rinse out, but I would use the phyto as an overnight DC again.

 

[spacetygrss]

I plan to DC with JOICO Moisture Recovery Balm a little later.

 

[naturalagain2]

Used Roux Porosity Control Corrector and Condish for 30/40 secs. Rinse w/ warm water.

Then used DB Pumpkin Seed Condish. I'm currently under the dryer. I plan to DC for 20 mins.
