Today will just be a regular co-wash day. My hair is currently in a messy, loose bun. Tomorrow will be officially five weeks post (with ten more weeks to go until my next relaxer). When six weeks post rolls around, I will start dc'ing twice a week, as opposed to once a week.

Wow Girl. Thank-you. That is a very detailed regimen. If only I were as dedicated to working out. Thanks so much for the post and HHG!!
I've been eyeing this forever! Please let us know how you like it!

I've never used it...my hair doesn't like BB's stuff.
But littlegoldenlamb gave a really detailed (and IMO, highly informative) review about it on her blog:

hth.
You should also share your workout regimen. Good Lawd you have been either drinking alot of milk or you have a consistent workout routine. Nice Back! Welcome
My hair was still breaking after my last wash so I did the aphogee 2 step last night followed by emergencee.
I deep conditioned with cream of nature mixed with pantene and my hair feels back to normal. It's moisturized, soft, and strong.
I did a strand test and I had to pull my hair 3 times for it to break.
I'm so happy, I haven't done a real protein treatment since December. I've been moisturizing like crazy but that was too much.
I'm going back to once a week pre-poo protein/ DC with moisture.

just checking in, hi ladies!
wednesday's overnight dc on dry hair worked out well, as expected...i've loved it since i've started it...but....
my mega tek arrived earlier this week and ya know i just had to try it....even though it's got alot of protein, they say, and i'd had a bit of a problem with breakage (they predict another large snowfall today, which my hair cannot stand...and thus, breaks)
soooo...after i took off the overnight dc with my ayurvedic poo's
and co washed with mega tek, finishing with co wash of phyto nourishing mask,
i put some kukui oil on my wet hair before anything else.
then i spritzed some detangling avocado mist from the mega-tek line and today,
my hair actually feels softer than it used to.
we'll see how it hold up with this snow, though....
HHJ LADIES!

Reecie, JJ, Chaos - The Burt's Bees Raspberry/Brazil Nut Conditioner is a keeper! I didn't read the linked review until a few minutes ago, but I agree w/everything she said. I thought it would be more moisturizing and slippery, but it did leave my hair feeling stronger. I'll probably use it a couple times each month. It would probably be good w/other oils added. Next time I use it, I'll add some EVOO and Coconut oil.
I forgot to mention the vitamins I'm taking during this challenge. EPO, Multi-vitamin, Vitamin C with Rose hips and MSM 2,000 mgs.

Washed my hair yesterday. I think I'm going to limit daily moisturizing and sealing to once a day. My hair feels too oily when I do it more than once. I feel yucky.

Doing an old school DC today with some Queen Helene Cholesterol Conditioner. Trying to get serious about my DC game again, even though I don't know how that's going to go since I'll be having a baby any day now.

THanks Ladies I will be keeping a close eye on these, Hopefully by next week I can see if I need a new DC for my you know what, I don't even want to say it any more. LOL thanks again.

LOLOLOL I just got in; I didn't spend but maybe 5 minutes on the forum today, if I went on at all,
<--this is exactly how my day went today. I did get my relaxer, she was getting all her appointments out of the way before she gets her surgery. I would have had to wait until April for my relaxer, BUT good news, she cut only about 1/2 inch off by request, because she said my ends were great, she said you have barely any thing to really cut. I felt so
.I also Passed on the flat Iron and curlers I just dried under the dryer and plopped a headband on, I got this look right here
perplexed
. I said sorry I only have 2 blow dry passes and one flat iron pass and I am not going out tomorrow and have the whole month to go and I've used a BD pass already she was like 
to the Pass. She said I Thought I've Heard everything, now you have passes. then asked again, you sure you don't want your hair curled, Nope!

Dc'ed for 45 minutes, which was accidental. I simply lost track of time. I air-dried my hair and rocked a serious wavy 'do. It was lovely.
