Hi @AbsyBlvd

Is there a reason why you use your clay AFTER your deep conditioner?
 
Hi @AbsyBlvd

Hey @Aggie
Yes, my low-po/ normal porosity hair can't take too much product. I occasionally DC after clay but when I do, it tends to build up on my strands, leaving a dull/ grey cast while wet and eventually while dry. Using clay after DC leaves my hair light and with sheen. I also feel my hair is more accepting to the water of my final rinse, leaving my hair more hydrated until my next wash.

Wow @AbsyBlvd, this makes so much sense :yep:. Thanks for sharing :kiss:.
 
Earlier today I DCd with APM PMM + Mielle Organics BOM baggied, with heat from blow dryer for 15mins and left to cool before rinsing. My hair felt wonderfully soft upon rinsing. Followed with clay.
 
On Monday I DC'ed with a mix of leftover DCs, including APB UCS, NG Intense DC, Kindred Butters Avocado DC, CD Rhassoul Clay Mask, and I added my Sheabiscus DC mix and honey.
I had some of this left. On Monday I added more CD Rhassoul Clay, Sheabiscus mix and honey. Left on for about 2 hours. 30 minutes with heat cap.
 
February was a super busy time for me, and I didn't have time, energy, or motivation to deep condition my hair. In lieu of this, I started using a designated leave-in conditioner from CR and a hair lotion from Oyin, so my hair was not totally ignored But, it's time to get back to it!
Currently DC'ing overnight with a diluted SM mask (can't recall the name, the wrapper is brown I think with a gold top [Mafura one maybe?]).
I also bought the Mielle Organics DC but haven't used it yet. Next session I will.
Also, as just an aside, I've noticed that my hair always feels the most soft if I don't have any product on it and let it air dry a bit to where it's damp.
 
Dc'ed w/ Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Masque and a squirt or two of Camille Rose Moroccan Pear Conditioning Custard. I added a tsp of Amla powder. I added Grapeseed oil on top after applying it to my hair. I stayed under the dryer for 40 mins.

My hair has been so managable it's so crazy like a different head of hair. I can mostly finger detangle now. So happy!
 
Currently dcing with ORS Olive oil Hair Masque Intense Treatment. I'll do this for a couple of hours in my plastic cap. Sidenote, i used Mixed Chicks shampoo for the first time and it was very stripping.
 
I conditioned yesterday with a mixture of Purelogy Essential Repair Restorative Hair Masque and Framesi Color Moisture Conditioner - protein and moisture in one. I had very little time on my hands so I had to combine them - left my hair amazingly soft and easy to detangle.
 
Deep conditioned for the first time with Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner. Surprisingly, my hair really liked it.

I used this conditioner again after coloring. I hope it's moisturizing enough; it seems like my hair is responding well by how quickly curls and waves popped up.
