Delightfully Delicious Challenge 2011 (Pt.1)

[Vintageglam]

Welcome aboard! Be sure to let us know what you're using Inquiring minds (PJs on the hunt) wanna know

I have a whole stash of products which I have managed to partly work my way thru last year. I am now moving towards buying and using more natural products for health reasons. Any ways products currently in my stash include Afroveda, Jane Carter, ORS, Aubreys Organics, Giovanni, Indian Powders, Henna, Matrix Biolage, Alter Ego Garlic Condish. I plan to just use what I am feeling my hair needs that day from my stash.

ETA: Did a Henna Super DC today:
- prepoo'ed with Hairveda Stranillah (sp)
- Steamed that in for 20 minutes
- Shampooed with Avalon Organics Lemon Claifying shampoo
- Applied Henna Mix with heat for 1 hr and then 3 hrs without heat
- Rinsed out
- Applied Indigo with heat for 90 minutes
- Rinsed out
- Applied a mix of ORS, Hempseed Oil, Matrix Ceramides
- Sitting under my steamer now with the mixture for 30 mins
- Will then apply leave ins and twist and air-dry over night

I have a few natural products too like Taliah Waajid and Aubrey Organics. Be sure to post how your hair responds to these DCs

Welcome 13StepsAhead! 2x a week, that's what I'm talkin' about, banish that winter dryness

I want in! I will be using AO honeysuckle rose and GVP Nexxus Humetress (I will add EVOO and Honey to them )

You're so in! I love AO condishes, esp the HSR, WC and Island Naturals

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I'm def in!!! I was a part of the 08 to 09 challenge and saw major results.

I aternate between Mizani Moisturfuse with a lil natural honey and Olive Oil Replenshing pack 1x week for at least 1hr.

This challenge definitely brings about awesome results. It's definitely a life saver for the winter months and all that the dryness brings.

I know this year I have to be faithful about posting. I DC every week sometimes 2x a week but I forget to post consistently. Hoping to be motivated by all the challengers posting to keep me posting weekly. I'm going to be a bit of mixtress this year since I have new oils to try out.

 

[Long-n-Strong_Naturally]

I'm in. My regi for Part 1 will be:

Nightly:

Over night dc with very light application of Alma/Palma Christi oils combo


Weekly (3x a month):

30-45 min. Steam with a mix of Queen Helene Cholesterol/Aveda Deep Penetrating Hair Revitalizer


Monthly:

45 min. w/o steam Sebastian's Penetraitt Deep Reconstructive Protein once a month

 

[Aggie]

Thanks for starting this challenge again halee J. Please add me! I will be using my steamer alternated with my hooded dryer and a variety of deep conditioners.

 

[Jade Feria]

Count me in! DC'ing overnight right now.

 

[TrendySocialite]

I'm in as well. Will DC 1-2 times a week.

 

[CrueltyFree]

I'm in. I love my Anita Grant rhassoul condish so I'm gonna do that one twice a month, every other week. The times I'm not using the rhassoul, I'll use my Aubrey Organics HSR conditioner. I may get the GPB as well. I'm still looking for other deep conditioners though (I'm a PJ and I think diversity is important) , preferably all natural.

If I can mail my hair steamer to my apartment, I'll steam with my conditioners as well. I can't seem to find a box big enough so I'll have to do it in pieces.

 

[divachyk]

I'm in. I DC weekly so why not. I have a stash of prod to use up but my staple (right now) is AOWC mixed with 1tbsp roux pc, evoo, hemp and avocada. I DC @ least 1 hr, no heat. I generate heat by placing 4 plastic caps on and then placing a ball cap or beanie over the plastic caps. This alone generates heat and is my DC heat source.

[TheGlamorousLife]

count me in

my hair needs all the moisture it can get

will be deep conditioning with no heat for thirty minutes at least twice a week.

 

[apemay1969]

im in. my poor hair has been neglected. I went almost three weeks w/o washing, dc'ing or detangling my flat ironed natural 4A hair. Just fricking busy. I'll do 1/wk with whatever I got-ors pak, humectress, megatek, other dc's I will pick up. Time to pamper my tresses again.

 

[SuchaLady]

I shall join. I will be Washing/DCing 1x/week with either SE Megasilk or SE Cholesterol. I am still looking for a good protein dc. I am thinking about ORS Hair Mayo. I already have the Aphogee 2 minute but I feel as if my hair responds to this as a hard protein so I will only be using this as needed.

Ummm I also have a OT question
Is it possible that the hair that was not taken care of as well earlier in the year is now reaching the ends and is breaking off? I am thinking a minor trim will solve this if that is what actually is the problem.

 

[chelseatiara]

im in! I will DC monday nights for 30 minutes with whatever conditioner i can get my hands on....

 

[Rossy2010]

Im in, I will Dc every 4-5 days

 

[La Colocha]

I would like to join, i will dc once a week 30 minutes under soft bonnet dryer.

Dc's in rotation-

Sheamoisture dc mixed with oils and honey
Kbn conditioner

Suave almond and shea conditoner mixed with oils.

That mix sounds good, was it on dry hair? I love HSR on dry hair
