Thank you hale_j!

I honestly welcome any and all suggestions regarding conditioning and moisturising - the list on this thread is extensive - I don't know where to start, lol. I admit to being largely ignorant here but I am trying to learn from the more knowledgeable heads here. My hair is growing but I know I need strength and moisture to retain it. :yep: any recommendations?

Also, I've done the porosity test yesterday and my hair floated but I wonder whether this was because I have such fine light strands, it wasn't heavy enough to break the surface of the water??? It definitely soaked up some water as it had fully reverted to a small coil but was still floating...:perplexed: do I need porosity control or not??

ebsalita I use protein once a month/then follow with Nexxus acidifying con to rinse thru/apply a moisturizing con/use a moisturizing leave-in.....

*Porosity control every other month/and use it for couple of seconds,rinse it doesn't hurt..Try it on a little section of hair/see how it responds...Keep us posted...


Happy Hair Growing!
 
Lita:thankyou:

I had a good search and found recommendations for Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturising Treatment, so I bought some and a heat cap, both should arrive by next week. I will buy some porosity control next week (don't know which products - there's quite a few isn't there?) and I'm still looking for a suitable protein conditioner.

Question - Megasilk users - is there enough protein and moisture in Megasilk that I don't need an additional hard protein beforehand? (Folk seem to be using this alone?)

I've only used SE Megasilk once and it just don't make me :lick::lick::lick::lick: I tend to think it was the dimethicone that might have blocked my hair's ability to accept the leave-ins and accept the moisturizing/sealing of my hair the days thereafter. *shrug* Dunno, will try it again and again until I use it all up but if the next few rounds don't go well, then I won't be repurchasing. It comes highly recommended though so it could be just me (:grin:)
 
I missed my hair so much i took out my braids and DC'd my hair with Organics Hair Mayonnaise. It felt nasty putting it on my hair but great washing it out lol my hair looks great right now!
 
Prepoo'ed with Chicoro's mix then shampooed with shikakai bar. I'm currently sitting with a protein treatment in my hair and AO HSR mixed with ceramide oils for DCing soon to follow. :lick: Then back into my rollerset twist I go! :yep:
 
Yesterday Dc with RedKen real control 1hr/applied Nioxin #8 on scalp for 2min/Rinsed with BF Pistachio con/Sealed with Argan & Sesame oil...

*Nioxin smooth silk to blow-dry & lite flat ion...

My hair looks & feels unreal..


Happy Hair Growing!
 
halee_J, I DC'd today with the Roux Moisture Recovery... sat under the dryer for 30 mins then let it marinate for another hour or so. Very moisturizing, and even though it contains collagen and silk protein I would still call it a moisturizer. Not a ton of slip, but my hair felt very soft (and it had been feeling quite rough). I like it. I don't know if I will repurchase it unless I catch a great sale. I still like ORS better.

Thank You for this Review! :grin:

I have this in my Stash, but haven't tried it yet.:perplexed

I shole hope I didn't buy 2 bottles after reading this review.:ohwell: (I don't remember)
 
Im in too :)

I will DC once a week hooded dryer.

Another really good Moisturizing Conditioner is Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol.. Its the poop
 
I am not in this challenge until April 1st but I dc'd tonight with AG mixed with peppermint oil and it felt AMAZING!
 
Last week I used Shea Moisture and it left my hair a dry tangled mess! I had to follow up with a hot oil treatment consisting of EVOO and EVCO to get my hair feeling normal again. Oh well, you live and you learn. This weekend I'll be using Silicon Mix DC for the first time. hope all goes well.

So disappointing when that happens, you have high hopes and then the DC is just :nono: Would you consider going back to a staple for at least 1 DC before trying something else? If I try something and it's whack, I usually wait 1 or 2 DC sessions before I go experimenting again, to avoid a potential setback.
 
I want to flat iron my hair today. I'm going out and I don't know what else to do with my hair. :perplexed I usually wig it up, but all my wigs look like roadkill and I refuse to pay BSS prices. :lol: So I'm gonna DC again today with some ORS to get as much moisture in as possible. Happy Friday ladies!!!
 
Hot oiled my bang with Macadamia & Poppy seed/Argan sulfate poo/Moroccan restorative mask Dc 15min/Rinsed/applied Nioxin#8 to scalp 5min,on length BF Pistachio con/rinsed warm water/sealed with Argan & Sesame seed oil......Full,fluffy,Soft Bang...



Happy Hair Growing!
 
I sooooo needed to wash/DC last night but sistah was just too tied (tired). I will do it tonight or tomorrow. I have an Ulta coupon that I can use. Thinking of buying Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm but I'm afraid of the -cone (think it's Aminopropyl Dimethicone) it has in it. Does that block moisture? I know I asked this before and got varying responses. Just curious. I do feel as though I'm -cone sensitive.

@IDareT'sHair -- think you use this and think it's good, right? Does the -cone impact your hair's ability to receive/retain moisture?

I don't think you can go wrong with this product.:yep: It is a really good product and very moisturizing. I don't know how far down the 'cone' appears in the ingredients, but it is a top notch product and overall a very good line. I honestly think you should try it.

I think you'll be pleased.:yep:

After reading one thread, I just had to restock on some of my Joico. (Girl....you know it don't take much) :sekret:

So, I got another MTRB and the Intense Hydrator (have you tried that?:lick:)

I got Silk Results for Dry & Coarse Hair and I think something else.

I try to keep K-Pak on Hand as a Staple.

divachyk - you didn't ask me but...IMO JMRTB is one of the best moisturizing conditioners out there. :yep:

I'll be doing my hair tomorrow and I plan to DC with BFH Barberry Sage Deep Mask. :lick:
