Did a treatment with Aphogee 2 step today then DCed under the dryer for 30 min with a misture of Suave Humectant, Ellin Lavir hydrating masque, NTM masque, and 1 tbsp of EVCO. Let that sit for another hour w/o heat. Hopefully this puts my hair in better condition. Been experiencing some breakage lately.
 
I am sitting with my DC in now... Earlier I DC'd with mixture of Leklair Cholestrol + Mane n Tail + NTM Pure Strength on top of dry hair, then I coated my hair with EVOO and Jojoba Oil on the ends. I will rinse out later... probably when I shower before I go to bed.

When I rinse out I will add my Perfect Results Leave-in, not sure if I will airdry fully~ but if I blowdry I will add this after--> spritz with my water-evco-glycerin mix, and seal with Castrol Oil.

Do you have a review of the Mastex heating cap?

I simply love it. I don't have room for a hooded dryer and the heating cap fits into a drawer in my room. You just put on your DC, a shower cap, and then the heating cap. It has an adjustable neck strap, and 3 heat levels. I usually use it on the medium level because it can get really hot. I also tried the Gold n Hot heating cap from Sally's and the Mastex is the best :yep:
 
Currently DCing with a mix of a lot of things lol. Mostly Mane n Tail + Lekair cholesterol, then squirted in a few other deep conditioners

Edit/Update: I usually don't do this but I'm leaving the DC on overnight. I am too tired to get in the shower and it's after midnight. Will update with results when I rinse it out tomorrow morning =) (the first and last time i DC'd overnight my hair was a soggy shedding mess so lets hope it's better this time around!)

ITA. It was an awesome and cheap ($30) investment that has totally helped my hair.

Do you have that section by the plug that doesn't really get warm? I find that I have to rotate my cap in order to get the back/nape area.

Yea I also noticed that it doesn't get hot at my nape area. So what I do is pile my sections of hair on the top of my head so my ends are at the hottest part of the cap

Been missing in action as I was on hiatus. Suffered a setback due to breakage and failing to keep up with this challenge (grad school and baby) because of my schedule. Will be back at it 2x per week. DCed today for 30 minutes under soft bonnet steamer using Sebastian Potion #7 and suave as a base. I cannot tell you how amazing my hair feels; this stuff is amazing.

I do that too and then I flip it at the end to help with the back of my hair. It's getting too hot up here for me to use it as long as I usually do.
 
I DC yesterday with KeraCare Humecto for 20 mintues under my Pibbs and attempted a rollerset. The rollerset didn't really work out but my hair felt soft like butter. :)
 
I used a sebastian cellophane rinse which I then followed up with DCing under the steamer with a mix of keracare Humecto, extra virgin olive oil and honey. I lurrved how my hair felt! I tried natural yoghurt the other day but it left lots of little white specks in my hair, anyone have any tips on how to avoid that?
 
Will be steaming with Jessicurl WDT today. Trying to debate will I continue to buy this since the price is going up. I would need to only buy one a year so something to think about.
 
I DC'd on dry hair all day yesterday using my honey/olive oil/CO mix, then cleansed it with a sample of BBW's Green Tea Cleansing Milk. It left my hair feeling greasy, but it's not itching like when I used the Vatika oil. My ends are full of SSKs, but I really can't be bothered to trim it all myself.
 
DC'ed overnight last night with Giovanni SAS Conditioner for the third time in a row and I hafta be honest, there is a big difference in how my feels the third time around compared tot he first time. It is a lot softer and detangles eeeeeasily too. I really like this stuff. It's time to purchase the gallon bottle:yep:.
 
I haven't been posting for awhile, but I'm still dcing. I'm still trying to find that dc that gives me great results. I just recently tried SE Intense Conditioning Mayonnaise, not sure how I like it yet. I definetly have experienced much softer hair since dcing more often.
 
DCing now with SSI FM (used it up not a repurchase now) mixed with honey, Too Shea!, a lil G3. Had to stretch it to cover all my hair. Have my heat cap on and will probably rinse in a couple hours.

I like the way my hair feels since I did the protein treatment. I can't get away with just protein/moisture balance when I DC I have to actually do a complete treatment.
 
DCing on mostly dry hair. I COWashed this morning so it wasnt too dirty. Tonight I am dcing with AOHSR and steam for 40mins. My hair just needed a lil extra because it has been outside so much lately she was thirsty:)
 
Going to DC tomorrow with Lustrasilk Cholesterol w/ Olive Oil. I'll mix in honey and aloe vera gel as usual. Hope I like it, because it's cone free and the price is unbelievable.
