I know the challenge hasn't started but.....
I dc'd yesterday with the Lustrasilk Herbal Cholesterol. It was total garbage, so I threw it away. I left it in my hair for several hours using just a shower cap (no heat). My hair was so incredibly dry (and felt so gross-my ends were so stiff) that I thought I was going to have to clarify and dc again. However, I used a shea mix (shea and evoo) that I made for my mother. My hair went back to being soft, thankfully.
I went ahea and purchased the AOHR conditioner. I don't think I'm going to be experimenting with protein/moisture balance. I do like the GPB, but I never noticed a difference (as it relates to the whole moisture/protein balance thing-However, the conditioner excellent.)
