For all the coloring lovelies who joined me in bootcamp - I just wanted to post my results so far after doing bootcamp for a month. I know there's lots of challenges going on so if you don't feel like posting yet another update I understand, I just wanted to post mine for those that were interested and for those whom it might help.
I got a relaxer yesterday (Motions Oil in Mild, Deep Conditioned with Emergencee, got a Colorshines in Gleaming Copper and rollerset) and my hair appears to have grown a nice amount. Nothing drastic, but it's getting there and it's the longest it's ever been since I've been on the boards. I did not get a trim with this touch up because I want to really retain some of what I've gained and I didn't think I needed one.
I've been doing a milder protein treatment as a deep conditioner every 3 washes (which is adding up to about once a week now - I wash three times a week and conditioner wash with Pantene DMR about one or two of the other days) and moisturizing conditioners for all of the other washes.
My hair is feeling strong, has recovered well from coloring this time around, and I've been wearing it in curls a lot. After a few washes I'll go back to that. I want to do a few rollersets to allow the excess Sebastian's to rinse out some, and then I'll wear it curly again.
These are the protein treatments I've been alternating weekly. They all do the same thing basically and I rotate them just to have some variety.
Dudley's Hair Rebuilder
HI PRO PAC
Nexxus Vitatress Cystine Treatment
La Maur Bone Marrow
Jherri Redding Protein Pac
For Moisturizing Conditioners I've been alternating the following:
NACIDIT Aciete Oliva
Pantene DMR (I always use this as a final rinse no matter what my conditioning regime for a particular wash)
HE Intensive Blends Conditioning Balm
Biolage Conditioning Balm (I'm still looking for the new one)
VO5 Hot Creme
I follow every protein treatment with a moisturizing conditioner. I leave the protein conds. in with heat for 10 minutes. I leave the mois. conds. in - no heat - for 30 minutes whether they follow a protein treatment or not.
I started my vits again too.
How are you guys doing?
