Doing a DC overnight with Silk Dreams VanillaSilk

 

[Jade Feria]

On Monday DC'ed overnight with NG Sweet Greens infused with Ayurveda.
Today DC'ed with a mix of CRN Coconut Water Treatment, SSI Curl Moist Conditioner, and MO Babassu Mint DC (containers were running out) 40 minutes under dryer.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

DCing now with Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian DC sealed with Ayurvedic oil and ayurvedic oil on scalp under soft bonnet dryer, will probably sit under here for about 30 minutes.

 

[Rozlewis]

DC'd yesterday with Naturelle Grow's Slippery Elm Bark Marshmallow Root DC under heat for 30 mins.

 

[hothair]

I dc with an EVOO and thyme mix with a lil MSM on my scalp, then yoghurt and honey on hair length. Awesome

 

[Jade Feria]

On Monday DC'ed with APB UCS overnight (by accident. Or laziness.) and it came out so soft and moisturized. Love that stuff. Followed with an Ayurvedic tea rinse.

Yesterday DC'ed with NG Sweet Greens, left on for about 4 hours.

I've already started my hair washing this morning.

So far I:

Shampooed with Keracare 1st lather Clarifying Shampoo
Shampooed with Keracare Moisturizing Detangling Shampoo
Currently DCing with Dudley's DRC 28 Protein Treatment for 20 minutes
Moisture DCing with a combination of Kerastase Chroma Captive Mask, amla, brahmi, and kalpi tone powders and avj.
Leave-in - Bekura Honey Latte Hair Milk

May just bun my hair and head out the door to run some errands.

 

[uofmpanther]

Did a DC overnight with Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk. I still love this DC.

 

[Aggie]

I had to come back and add how I really love the combination I used last. The Dudley's DRC 28 stopped breakage in it's tracks and the Kerastase Chroma Captive Mask mixed with the syur-powders worked wonders in softening my hair and made detangling pretty easy. I love this combo.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

DCing now with MC Halo DC mixed with an Amla Powder blend, and oil under soft bonnet dryer for 30 minutes. I am trying to use up this powder, I have so much of it left.

 

[NappyNelle]

I had a long day of hair pampering.

Shampooed with Giovanni Smooth as Silk / Tea Tree Tingle mix
JOICO KPak Protein Treatment under heating cap
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner under heating cap

Then two long hours with the blow dryer.

 

[Jade Feria]

I used the Carol's Daughter Rhassoul Clay Shampoo and Mask yesterday. Left the mask on for about an hour, then 30 minutes under steamer.That mask is AWESOME! It had great slip, and my hair was nice and soft and moisturized. It even clumped my curls a bit. The only thing is that it's quite heavily fragranced, so someone who's not into loud fragrances probably would be sensitive to it. I personally don't mind.

@Jade Feria

[IDareT'sHair]

Under Dryer:
Ayurvedic Treatment (20 minutes)

[uofmpanther]

Doing a DC overnight with Mielle Organics Babassu Mint deep conditioner. I still love this stuff. It has great slip, smells good and leaves my hair strong and moisturized.

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm doing a 30 minute Masquintense dc with heat. I washed with Organix Tea Tree mint shampoo.

The 2018 Challenge is up! I'll also be back here with my 2017 feedback.

[wheezy807]

Well i hope to carry into next year consistency. But when i did manage to dc, my hair responded really well of course. I'm still shopping my stash but i like Shea Moisture amongst other things.

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm ending the year with stronger hair and smooth, silky ends. I still have a few splits, but I'm not worried about it. I dust my ends quarterly anyway.

I might dc tomorrow night. I'm out of town, but I did bring my hair stuff. I brought Therapiste prepoo and Maskeratine dc both by Kerastase. I'll just use the hotel shampoo and put my hair in celies afterwards. I should wig it a bit longer...

 

[uofmpanther]

When I regularly deep condition, my hair does better overall. It is stronger, more moisturized, breaks less, sheds less, etc. I see way less hair in my shower drain. Mielle Organics Babassu Mint was my favorite by far this year. It's actually in my head right now for about 2 hours.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Weekly DC'er here. Always with Heat. Loved 2017 & DC'ing. Looking forward to the 2018 challenge.

Will stick to primarily hand-made naturals from the usuals (in no particular order) and because they are already in my Stash:

Hairveda Sitrinillah and Methi Set #1
SheScentIt (Assorted)
Jessicurl DT
Annabelle Perfect Blends (Assorted)
Claudie's Hair Revitalization (Assorted)
Curl Junkie Deep Fix & Banana and Hibiscus
Cathy Howse Ultra Black Hair
Naturelle Grow (Assorted)
JMonique Naturals (Assorted)

Ms. Jessies Super Sweet Back Tx
Soultanicals *Afrotastic*
CD's Black Vanilla Smoothie and CD's Rhassoul Masks

Also trying to put a dent in this list. May also pull my Steamer back out and start steaming again. For the past 6-7 months I've been DC'ing under my Dryer.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I have learned that a good DC session sets the bar for my hair's moisture retention for the week. It is also therapeutic.

I have one more use of my MC Halo DC but once I use it up, I will not repurchase. I will be going through various DCs in my stash to use them up, and eventually sticking to light protein based conditioners.

As I said in another thread, I will be adding Colorful Neutral Protein Filler to my current DCs to use them up.

My favorite DC this year was APB Not Easily Broken DC and, even though I will not repurchase unless there is a reeeeaaalllyy good sale, MC Halo DC.

I washed my hair and did a keratin treatment today. I'll wash and dc Friday.

 

[Rozlewis]

DC'ing right now with Mielle Organics Babassu & Mint DC under heat for 30 mins

 

[Rozlewis]

By deep conditioning consistently I have experiences stronger, longer, healthier and more manageable hair. My favorite DC's are anything from Naturelle Grow, APB, Mane Choice and Silk Dreams. These lines seem to agree with my hair. In 2018 I plan to continue to give my hair weekly and sometimes twice a week DC treatments.
