2020 & Beyond Delightfully Delicious Deep Conditioning Challenge

I tried a new curl cleanser by Mizani. I'm not impressed. The texture is weird like a gel and it has no scent. My hair wasn't any easier to detangle either. It's lying smoother, flatter today though. I dcd with the last of my Frizz Ease conditioner.
 
This morning is a busy hair day for me:

-Coffee rinsed
-Shampooed with Mairobi Detoxing Shampoo and Keracare Moisturizing and Detangling Shampoo
-Color with Adore Color Plus for graying hair
-Tea rinsing with a blend of HOPS, Horsetail, Rosemary and Sage under my deep conditioner
-Deep Conditioning with Dominican Magic Nourishing Conditioner for Strength followed with a blend of NG Rose Clay Moisturizing DC and APB Ultra Nourish DC
-Leave-in with Follicle Care CayenaWood Leave-in treatment
-Bunning for the day
-Later moisturizing with SSI Marshmallow Hair Cream and sealing with my Shea Butter blend
 
Overnight under Plastic Cap:
JMonique Naturals Charcoal Deep Treatment

Under Dryer:
J.oico K-Pak Recon

Under Steamer:
MHC Honey Hair Mask
 
This morning's regimen:

-Shampooing with Hairveda Deep Cleansing Shampoo
-Protein Deep Conditioning with Hairveda Step 1 Methi Sativa Tea Deep Protein Masque
-Moisturizing DC with Hairveda Step 2 Methi Sativa Tea Moisture Conditioning Milk
-Leave-in with Komaza Care Aloe My Hair Leave-in Conditioner

-Later I will be moisturizing and sealing with SCurl Curl Activator Moisturizer and my DIY Shea Butter Blend.

-Regarding the above post - I thought I still had Komaza Care Protein Conditioner but turned out that I used it all already :blush:
 
How long do you plan to be in the challenge?
Until the end of the year
How often will you DC?
2-3x a week. On the higher side if I don’t feel like co-washing
What DCs will you use (top 5-10 if you can't list them all)?
1. Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Treatment
2. OverSoyed Jelly Donut Panthenol reconstructive conditioner mixed with Shea Butter
3. Milky Piggy Collagen protein treatment (light)
4. Shiseido intensive moisture treatment
5. Self mixed Shea Butter and Honey treatment (mostly a back up when I run out of everything else)
What's your hair profile (relaxed/natural, porosity, strand size, etc)?
Relaxed. Very very very fine strands but overall rather thick in density. 4a curl pattern. On the high side of porosity, but it does balance out to the more normal side if I’ve been keeping up with moisturizing it.
What goals do you hope regular DCs will help you achieve?
Mostly just maintenance and keeping my hair moisturized

Welcome @PlanetCybertron! That Sbea treatment sounds good! How do you make it?

Yesterday I DC'ed with NG Indian Rose Clay mask mixed with my Ayurvedic Sheabiscus. I'm loving the Rose Clay! It has replaced the Marshmallow Root & Slippery Elm DC as my top NG DC.

I use an already whipped Shea Butter.

I get this brand in particular from Costco: I do have the bigger container. I think it’s 8-10 ounces

I use any brand of honey but I try to stick with farm produced honey from Whole Foods.

Usually 4 oz of Shea , with 2 oz of honey that’s been thinned out with Almond oil to lighten the Shea as well. I’ll have 8 oz that lasts me for about 3 applications. I just keep it in the fridge so it stays fresh.

How fluffy you want it, will depend on your preferences as well. I like mine insanely fluffy so I use 2oz and mix well, apply to hair, and deep condition with a heat cap for an hour.

Today I Used:

-A combination of Hairveda Methi Sativa Tea Steps 1 and 2 while I showered. My hair actually feels better using this line this way instead of separately. Now I won't have to give away the rest of what's left in my stash. Thank goodness.

-I also discovered a great detangler for my hair - and it's any moisturizing cheapie conditioner - I like using two thirds of v05 Moisture Milks with one third of aloe vera gel, vigorously shake to mix them together. This combination instantly softens my hair and makes detangling a breeze.
-It's cheap, it's quick and it works! :yay:

Thank you! Nice and simple.
 
Doing a hendigo treatment for 3 or 4 hours this afternoon. This is my deep conditioner and color in one today. I'll only be conditioner rinsing it out when it's all done with a v05 Moisture Milks conditioner and AVG mixture. Moisturizing with Komaza Care Aloe My Hair leave-in and air drying before bed.
 
This morning I used my combination of Hairveda Methi Sativa Tea Steps 1 and 2 with some leftover SSI Papaya Nourishing Conditioner as my DC in the shower. My hair responded nicely to this one.
 
I had Joico K Pak Reconstructor in for 5 min then I rinsed it out.
I am following it up with Joico K Pak Intense Hydrator. I Put a plastic bag and I am leaving it in for at least 30 min and then I will rinse it out
 
This week I will be:

-Prepooing with JMonique's Dead Sea Mud Wash
-Detoxing with Nairobi Detox shampoo
-Coloring with henna
-Stand Alone Alfaparf Bond Rebuilder followed by the Scalp and Fiber Restorer to normalize the pH
-Tea Rinsing with Horsetail, Hops, Rosemary and Sage tea under my deep conditioner.
-Deep conditioning with a combination of SSI Restore and Repair Hair Mask and SSI Curl Moist Conditioner
- Leave-in with Komaza Care Aloe My Hair Leave-in Conditioner
-Style will be bunning for the week.
