2020 & Beyond Delightfully Delicious Deep Conditioning Challenge

[faithVA]

I used Kerastase Resistance mask last night and left it in ovjernight. It felt wonderful going on. It smoothed my hair nicely. It felt so good I was wondering if I could use it to style my hair regularly and just leave it in.

I'm going to rinse in a few. I am expecting it to feel wonderful.

I’m not feeling great about my hair these days and I’ve been curious to see if there’s been any difference in my hair since trying harder with moisturizing and sealing and DC’ing.

I’m sorry I take such weird pictures lol.

Give it time. After about 6 months of DCing every week, I saw a drastic improvement in the condition of my hair.

Overnighting Tonight with:
JMonique's Burdock Root & Nettle DC'er (on dry Hair - Saran Wrap, Plastic Cap, Durag)

 

[GGsKin]

On Wednesday I used CRN Penetrating Hair Treatment for the first time, baggied and used heat from the blow dryer. Hydrolysed keratin is low in the list but it was definitely more moisture than protein. I like how it performed on my hair but I used way too much gel so my hair feels sticky now.

Steam with:
My Honey Child's Honey Hair Mask

 

[Rozlewis]

DC'd with Silk Dreams Avocado Pudding under heat for 30 mins.

Joico K Pak Intense Hydrator for 25 mins with a shower cap.

Doing an overnight with Mielle Organics Babassu Mint deep conditioner

 

[CurlyWhoCrux]

DCing overnight with a very diluted mixture of a Suave Conditioner (Everlasting Sunshine) and the SM Lo Po leave in. Very unorthodox mixture, but I’m working with what I have. I dilute it enough so that I can spray it directly onto my hair. Topped it with TMC Butter Than This and braided it up.

I think I might be on to something here....my hair is nice and soft and smells good. I didn’t rinse it out. Will tonight when I shower.

Yesterday I DCd on dry hair with CRN Algae Renew (1st try). I left it to marinade for a few hrs uncovered, with the sun as my heat source lol. Upon rinsing, my hair felt soft and sheds were sliding out nicely.

 

[naturalagain2]

Dcing with Keracare Humecto for 20 mins under the dryer. I’m so sleepy so I will put on a scarf and wash out in the morning.
I haven’t DC’d in a month! I will try not to let that happen again.

Been deep conditioning with two products for the last month, But I love it. It’s the Cer100 protein coating treatment by Elizavecca.



The slip is amazing, and it has a salon type of smell but I don’t mind. It’s great at giving my fine strands some weight to them, and does a bang up job strengthening my ends as well.


This is the Ichikami moisturizing treatment:


I used this afterwards and it’s so fruity and light smelling. Super moisturizing. Goes on a bit thick though, but it spreads nicely, so I don’t need that much.

These have replaced pretty much all of my other products since I ran out of my stash I bought back towards the end of April/Beginning of January.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Overnight:
Liquid Gold's Blueberry Hair Smoothie

Under Dryer:
Cathy Howse Ultra Black Hair DC'er

Under Steamer:
Bask & Bloom Brahmi Ayurvedic Hair Treatment

 

[Prettymetty]

I washed with Kerastase Extentioniste. And now I'm deep conditioning with the mask from the line. I bought the conditioner too. I may do a final rinse with it.

The Extentioniste line is the blue/green bottles

Eta I only paid $10 for each bottle. They have since fixed the price back to $20

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Under Dryer:
Tigi Dumb Blonde Reconstructor

Under Steamer:
Naturelle Grow's Madder Root Shea

DCing with a combo of APB Blueberry Cheesecake Conditioner and Sarenzo Amla & Bamboo DC

Used this combo again today. I can't use Sarenzo DCs alone, I have to mix something in every time to give them more slip and moisture.

Is this your before and after? Your hair is looking super moisturized and defined!!

 

[PlanetCybertron]

Here’s the link for the first one. I suggest Amazon just because the shipping so like an entire two weeks faster.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=elizavecca+ion+injection&ref=is_s

Here’s the one for the second one:
Amazon product ASIN B008U3ZGZ8
This one is a different scent from the top one, but so long as it says Kracie, it’s good to go.

Here’s the original site of you want the dark pink instead of the orange bottle:
https://www.yesstyle.com/en/list.html?bpt=48&q=Ichikami+revitalizing+hair+treatment

I just prefer the ones on Amazon since they get here quicker. Just make sure the product info you get is written in Korean or Japanese when you go to look on the back labels. It’s truly sourced from that company if you can’t understand what they’ve written lol. They do have the ingredients list in whatever language you’re fluent in online if you wish to read and check.

Yes... my before is from my Deva Cut salon.... my after was my wash and go.

I think the curly girl technique yielded better definition and volume however my curls are WAY MORE defined and more manageable now.

Wow, congrats on your progress! It looks so healthy and shiny.

Dc'ed last night. I think I have only DC'ed once since 2018 began, lol. I went to reach for my Queen Helene and realized that I still have half a bottle of Salon Care Cholesterol that a family member gave to me last year. I will use that up then it's back to Queen Helene. I find that adding the EVOO to the Cholesterol allows me to do a hot oil treatment and DC in one which in turn is a timesaver. My hair felt like silk afterwards. I will force myself to stay consistent with DCing.

 

[naturalagain2]

Dcing with Shea Moisture Manuka Honey masque for 25mins under the dryer. Oh I added some argan oil on top too.

 

[Prettymetty]

Currently reverse washing: Doing a dc on dry hair with Kerastase Extentioniste and I'll cleanse with Curl Ideal cleansing conditioner. My hair loves reverse washing. Maybe because it's so fine...
