Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2010 Edition

Back on schedule with my henna treatments. Hennaed this weekend and dc'd with AOWC (mixed with a bit of coco oil and AOSHR). The henna had really dried out a section in the front of my hair and the dc brought it back to life. :grin: After rinsing out the dc thoroughly (had to do so twice), I rinsed with cold water to seal the cuticle (I always forget to do this last step).

I moisturized with QB Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee and sealed with olive oil. I cornrowed my hair and sealed the ends with shea butter. I'll be keeping the cornrows in for the next month and keeping up with my weekly dc's.
 
I washed last night with Giovanni TTT poo, then followed with a mixture of AO GBP, HSR, WC and extra wheatgerm oil. Left my DC on for about 3 hours, no heat.

DCing less often right now due to not wishing to wet and manipulate my twists, cold weather, seeing if my hair is OK being DCd only once every week or every 2 weeks.

Also if I were exercising which I'm not (:nono:) I would DC or cowash more often, I wouldn't have a choice!
 
I washed my hair with L'occ shampoo and con sample, not enough to really test the product so I DC on Monday with Lustrasilk shea and mango for 1 hour with steam, hair felt softer. Will DC with AO HSR and Olive Oil on Friday.
 
Been DCing for the past hour with my conditioner/oil mix. Can't wait to do my hardcore protein and steam treatment when I get back to my home base this weekend!
 
DC'd last night with a mixture of Palmer's Coconut Oil Protein Pack and Redken Extreme Rescue force on dry hair for a bit more than one hour with body heat.
 
Checking in! I've been keeping my hair in cornrows for the past 2 weeks. I redid them individually last night after using Giovanni TTT shampoo and protein infusion deep conditioner. I also used giovanni deeper moisture. I cowash with my conrnrows in. I'm about 10weeks post, but i have some good new growth!
 
Weekly dc. Doing something different this week. I pre-poked wirh Burt's Bees Avocado Butter; I washed with Trader Joe's Tea Tree shampoo; applied Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor for a few minutes and washed out. Applied L'occitane Aromathologie Repairing Mask and sitting under dryer for 30 minutes. I can't wait to see how my hair turns out!!
 
  • Shampooed and conditioned with Skala Shea Butter
  • Deep conditioning with Skala Fruit Cocktail

I am excited about doing a DC tomorrow! Will use Aussie Moist Shampoo and then do a DC with HSR under steam for an hour, then follow up with Gio Leave in and JBCO for the ends and scalp. I hope the above is ok for me.

My hair has grown to 4 inches now and I'm 4 months natural. The growth is slow but it's worth it. well 30 mins to go until I wash this out and I need to put more ORS cond on the list this week to buy. Until next time.
