I have not been cowashing my hair because I have been a little sick. But now that my head cold is just about gone, I am hennaing and texlaxing my hair this weekend but tonight I am giving myself a hardcore DRC 28 protein treatment in preparation for it.
I will be sleeping with some Giovanni SAS Conditioner in my hair tonight for extra moisture and washing it out in the morning.

Don't worry be happy
Everyone has been added up to this point 
Can't wait to see how we all do this year. Remember, consistency is the name of this game 
I love doing this too. IDareT'sHair hipped me onto this (Thanks T!). I used try to mix protein and moisture DCs or alternate. Two steps works so much better
What are your fave protein condishes?
Welcome to DDDC and to LHCF!
Remember to tell us what Dcs you're using
Another newbie! Hiya
How often will you be DCing? What's in ya stash? 
Hey Cutenss! That condish, what is it? How you gon' roll up in a DC thead, drop a DC decked out with a pump and not give a name?
Hey bbdgirl!
You've come to the right place We're here to stay on the DC train!
Ya know, I've been meaning to try that. There is truth to it, because I noticed that when I DC after swimming at the beach my hair is notably softer

Welcome to DDDC and to LHCF!
Remember to tell us what Dcs you're using Count me in! I will be using a heating cap to do my DCs along with whatever conditioners I have stashed. I like to change up what product I'm using depending on what my hair needs.
Another newbie! Hiya
How often will you be DCing? What's in ya stash? I wanna join! I wanna join! :bouncegre I already DC w/steam once a week. I will be using this:

I'm in, my steamer just arrived today so I'm looking forward to DCing with it weekly. I plan to use Dark and Lovely Ultra Cholesterol.

DCs currently in rotation:
ORS replenishing (My baby daddy!)
Matrix Ultra Hydrating balm
AOWC
Do you mix anything (i.e., oils) with your conditioners or just apply straight conditioner.
I'm fighting off a head cold too.
On my week off no less. Hope you feel better! Is Giovanni SAS a better prepoo than say prepooing with oil?I really need to check this out when things settle down with my hair. I'm having a few hiccups with it at the moment -- think porosity issues.
Does alternating protein and moisturizing conditioners take away the need for protein treatments like aphogee 2 min? ETA: Do you find that DCing 2x per with with alternating works better than DC 1x weekly and alternating?I love doing this too. IDareT'sHair hipped me onto this (Thanks T!

Giovanni Smooth as silk
Aloe 80 Organics Daily conditioner
Honey Quat
Rose Hip Oil, Avocado Oil, Jamaican Black Castor Oil, vitamin E oil, a drop or two of neem oil and Rosemary and Peppermint EO. Mix all together and apply to my hair sat under steamer for 30 mins then slip on a shower cap for another 1hour or so.

Sorry halee J 
I guess you couldn't tell what it was. The conditioner is the Sebastain 2+1 Deep Conditioning Treatment. I found it at TJ Maxx. It was $12.99. When I read the back of the tub, I thought hmmm:scratchch And I knew that if I did not like it, I could return it. Well I did like it 
So I am going to buy more tomorrow, if they still have some 
Here is what the back of the jar states:
2+1 A Recipe for Healthy Hair 2 Parts Moisture + 1 Part Protein Hair, like the body, needs moisture and protein to stay healthy and conditioned. Sebastian invented 2+1, an original recipe of 2 parts moisture and 1 part protein, to give the hair what it needs - deep intensive hydration, combined with the power of a protein pack. Normal or damaged hair feels conditioned, silky, moisturized and healthy. At Sebastian, 2+1 equals fabulous!
DIRECTIONS : Shampoo hair. Rinse. Apply generously to hair. Wrap hair in plastic bag and place under heat for 10-20 minutes, let cool, then rinse. Or wrap small sections of hair in aluminum foil and tap each one 3-5 times with a hot flat iron. Let cool, remove foil and rinse. Recommend 2+1 home use to your clients. I have seen Moptop Maven use the foil method here
INGREDIENTS : WATER (AQUA/EAU), CETYL ALCOHOL, QUATERNIUM-18, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PVP, GLYCERIN, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, CARTHAMUS TINCTORUS (SAFFLOWER) SEED OIL, HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, POLYSORBATE 20, POLYQUATERNIUM-37, POLYQUATERNIUM-10, POLYSORBATE 60, TOCOPHEROL, RETINYL PALMITATE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, METHYLPARABEN, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM), PROPYLPARABEN, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, HEXYL CINNAMAL, FD&C YELLOW NO.6 (C.I. 15985), POTASSIUM SORBATE, FD&C YELLOW NO. 5 (CI 19140), ETHYLPARABEN, BUTYLPARABEN, ISOBUTYLPARABEN.
I used it under my steamer, but I think that next time I will use it like then directions state, and sit under the dryer, the use a moisturizing DC under my steamer. I am finding that any condition with protein does better under the dryer, while moisture DC's does better under the steamer, at least for my hair.

Wow! thanks for the detailed description and ingredients

I usually use them straight, I mix with oil on rare occasion.
I call the use of any protein conditioner a protein treatment. I consider Aphogee 2 min a medium protein, and of course the Hardcore 2 step would be strong protein. So my routine is shampoo, protein condish, moisture DC
I find this works better than mixing or alternating for 2 reasons:1. I can better gauge what my hair needs for each step so I don't overshoot protein or moisture.
2. My hair seems to respond better to protein when I do it this way.
Welcome onemoretry
Yes! Another ORS fan! I luuurve that stuff. How often are you going to DC?Glad your DC went well

Tonight I purchased silk elements megasilk moisturizing conditioner to put in rotation. So for moisturizing conditioners I now have -- AOWC, Lustrasilk Shea/Mango Butter, and Silk Elements Megasilk. I have just a little bit of MorrocanOil Intense Hydrating Conditioner and Carol's Daughter Hair Smoothie that I'll be using up. For protein I have ORS replenishing pak, GVP Joico Kpak Reconstructor and Jocio Kpak Reconstruct Conditioner.

Well as I understand it, cones don't block out moisture entirely. It will impede absorption though. But it shouldn't really affect your hair too much unless you have build up. But regular clarifying should take care of that. Your hair will tell you when its time to clarify: it may feel weighed down, dry and not respond to product in the same way
