***2015 Delectable Deep Condition Challenge***

Dcing with SD avocado pudding

Ditto. I'm using it as an overnight prepoo.

I deep conditioned with ORS Mayonnaise for over an hour. I love this stuff Since I have fine hair I will up my light protein treatments to twice a week at least. I used Aussie Moist conditioner for about 10 minutes. I miss my 5 minute Aussie Moist

Is ORS Mayo your light protein? I have fine hair also and I've been doing a lot of steaming deep conditioners w/protein only because I like sitting under my steamer lol... It's been benefitting my hair but when I get out of this kick I still want something that's a light protein that I can just sit on my head and deep condition with sometimes. I've never used ORS Mayo before (don't know how that never ended up in my stash). When I get through my other products I was thinking of trying it out.

 

[theRaven]

CodeRed, I believe ORS Mayo is considered a mild protein for some. When I go home I will look it up under the Black Hair Book. Also there are two different hair mayo brands apparently. When I get home I will see which one I have.

For my hair, it feels like a nice moderate protein for me. Not too heavy but just enough to notice very defined curls that clump nicely.

 

[CodeRed]

I didn't know there were two different brands.... I'm thinking about experimenting with just plain mayo also... we'll see.

 

[CodeRed]

Deep conditioning with sunflower oil over hydrolyzed quinoa protein/aloe vera gel and shea butter mix on temples and nape. Steaming now.

Okay so I have the Organics Hair Mayo and it works quite well for me. In the Science of Black Hair the other product Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise is labeled as heavy protein product.

Yes I hear plain mayo with a few other natural ingredients work quite well. I'm sure on this site and/or BGLH has mayo recipes for protein.

Thanks for that. I think I may have seen it before and it was cheaper than the ORS. Will have to look in to it.

Cathy Howse UBH under dryer 20 minutes (requires heat)
Huetiful Moisturizing DC'er under Steamer

I have sooooo many conditioners to use up but I'm trying to keep my hair braided for 2-4 weeks at a time so I can get beyond APL and DCing in celies causes knots and tangles for me. Does more frequent DCing trump long term protective styling?

Not for me. I've done both. Long term protective styling works better for me.

 

[Anaisin]

Dc'd with APB conditioner for 15 minutes with heat. Made my hair soft but it had no slip and it made my hair frizzy

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Will be DCing later with Bellezza Naturale Orange Sherbet Conditioner after my protein treatment.

 

[Rozlewis]

Dc'ing right now with Claudies Moisturizing DC, Porosity Control, Olive Oil, Peppermint, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Honey under heat for 30 mins.

 

[BrownSkinPoppin]

I used to only deep condition my hair maybe once a month. Now that I've started doing it once a week I rarely get single strand knots

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used: Cathy Howse under dryer (requires Heat)
Also used: Curl Junkie's "Repair Me" under dryer 10-15 minutes
Steamed with: Huetiful's Moisturizing DC'er mixed with J. Monique Naturals Jojoba DC'er

 

[ForestRose]

I will be joining this too. I have decided what dryer I'm going to buy. Still deciding on a moisturizing conditioner. This curly nikki post from 2012 says that the aphogee two step protein treatment and aphogee moisturising balance is the best.

http://www.curlynikki.com/2014/06/top-20-deep-conditioners-for-natural.html
gonna go for the 2 step as my hair is thinning. I want a moisturizing conditioner that I can steam with for 30 mins or so but a lot are 3 minute treatments.

Is it actually possible to steam with an oil (e.g. coconut oil) because science says its impossible? Its hard to find solid scientific facts when it comes to hair treatments. A lot of youtubers and companies are willing to make up science just to sell a product.

Still deciding...

Edit: Forgot to say that I will be deep conditioning every week and potein when necessary.

- DC’ed with Blue Roze Beauty Strawberry DC for two hours under a cap. This is my first time sampling this conditioner and I hate to say that it sucks. Despite its creamy consistency and decent ingredient list, it felt…insubstantial. During application, it didn’t smooth and soften my hair like a highly emollient conditioner would; it just sat there. Upon rinsing, my fears were realized – my hair felt rough and sorely un-moisturized. What a huge waste of time!

- Re-DC’ed with Bobeam Peppermint Condish for two hours under a cap and received soft, silky, highly moisturized hair after rinsing. Perfection!

- Results: Received excellent results with the Bobeam Condish after the bust with BRB’s Strawberry. Had very little breakage and average shedding.

DCd 4 hours with VO5/homemade mix/Sally Beauty Honey Almond

@PJaye

This one has never gotten 'good' reviews.erplexed

The Cocoa Rhassoul seems to be the Crown Jewel DC'er of this Line.

With the Manuka Honey coming in 2nd. I have the Manuka, but haven't tried it.

I plan to use it as a Cowash. I may also try it as a DC'er.

 

[Nightingale]

Steam DCed yesterday.

I tried the Strawberry last year and my hair hated it. I was disappointed as well. The Manuka Honey DC worked much better, had more slip and moisture.

Is the Manuka now in a Jar for real?

When I bought mine, it was advertised in a Jar, but when it arrived it was in a bottle.

IDareT'sHair mine was in a jar. I didn't even know it came in a bottle. I know the Chai Hair Tea was advertised in a bottle but I received it in a jar.

Yeah, my Chai Tea was in a Jar. But my Manuka Honey came in a bottle...

That's odd. I prefer my DC's in jars if that's available cause I don't like having to squeeze a bottle to get the product out, it's easier access.

I know. erplexed

Just like when DB advertised the Pumpkin Seed Conditioner in a Jar, but when it came it was in a bottle.

 

[BrownSkinPoppin]

Deep conditioned overnight with the shea moisture yellow line conditioner. I added castor, grapeseed, almond, avocado oils and glycerin to it. About to go rinse now and hopefully I can air dry before church

 

[spacetygrss]

APB Green Tea, Milk and Honey Mask on my hair now. I'm about to hop under the steamer.

 

[Froreal3]

Dcing with Hairveda Sitrinillah and Jessicurl Deep Treat on either side under Hair Therapy Wrap for 45 minutes.
