Ladies...I'm curious. I have been cowashing more often and sealing with CHI silk infusion. I know it has cones and all so I clarify every week. But my hair doesn't feel dry. Should I still DC? I don't wanna overload on moisture.

kupenda If you're clarifying, you should definitely be dc'ing afterwards.

On another note, have you tried shampooing weekly (with regular shampoo) and clarifying monthly? I used to cowash with cones daily and only felt the need to clarify about once a month.

ITA, def DC when you use shampoo, ESP if you're clarifying :yep:
 
halee_J don't mean to hijack the DC talk but what kinda workouts do you do? I'm a bit of a gym rat so I'm always interested in finding out what new things I can incorporate into my workouts.
 
Thanks ladies!

I'm gonna do a light protein with hairveda acai berry phyto for 20 minutes under the dryer with some oil on my scalp. Then DC with silk elements original under a cap no heat for an hour and then 15 minutes under the dryer

bajandoc86 girl, all kina tings :lol: I do most of my workouts at home or outdoors, I'm kinda sporadic when it comes to the gym. I've found some cool stuff online. check your inbox :yep: Oh there's some interesting stuff in the H&F section too, come hang out with us in the RT thread :grin:
 
Just put Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk on & will let it marinate for a few hours. :drunk:

@tiffers @Imoan Yes....The Okra Reconstructor is amazing and definitely worth the purchase. :yep:
:grin:
Imma wait and see if she has a Labor Day or any type of "Back to School" Sales. I want to try the Papaya Conditioner:lick:

Ladies - @tiffers and @Imoan, I agree with T! Love SSI Okra. I will be purchasing another bottle when there is sale. Think I'm officially doing away with Joico kpak. I might use Joico as a fall back plan should I run out of SSI Okra. I've used SSI for 2 or 3 weeks straight (I lose count) and my hair feels heavy, in a good way.

How does the Alter Ego Garlic Condish work? funny I thought I was the only 1 who says condish:lachen::lachen:

@Imoan - did anyone answer you re: this question? You apply it to the scalp and it helps combat shedding. Great product. A bit expensive but worth it IMHO and I think @IDareT'sHair also agrees.
 
Did a HOT with Vatika oil, then steamed with Aubrey GBP. Shampooed with Chagrin Valley Mud & Clay, and detangled with AO HSR & Gio DMC. I kind of want to steam the moisturizing conditioners too, but maybe I'll just let it sit on my hair.

It's official, I'm a steaming machine! I'm so glad I bought it.
 
Imoan hey sorry I didn't reply earlier....as divachyk said, I used it to combat shedding (on my scalp only). I haven't been too consistent with it, so I can't speak to its effectiveness.
 
I am new to the forum and would like to join this challenge since I currently DC once a week. This is my 3rd and hopefully final BC! :clap:

I am natural and I alternate weekly DCs with ORS Hair Mayo and Elast QP DPR-11. I add JBCO, EVOO, honey, and peppermint oil to my DC. I sit under conditioning cap for 30 mins but usually leave the DC in for 2-4 hours. I will post monthly progress pics.
 
I finally washed out my conditioners. I guess I won't be DCing for two weeks or so if I twist up my hair. I'll miss this thread. :(
 
DCing now. Started with an application of neutral protein fillier on clean wet hair. Then covered that with a mix of ORS replenishing pak, Mizani intense moisture, EVOO, JBCO, and avacado oil. I'm away from home so I don't have my dryer or steamer. I just have my head wrapped in a plastic cap and towel.
 
So I cut up four of my almost-empty BFH bottles and it's crazy how much I was able to scrape out! The little bit stuck to the bottom of the bottles was more than enough for my head. And to think that I almost threw the bottles away. What a waste. :nono:

So now I'm dc'ing with: BFH Coffee Chocolate, Pistachio Cream, Honey Apricot Ginger and Shea Almond Coconut mixed with a dollop of sunflower oil. :grin:

P.S.

I'm drooling over halee_J's avi. :drool:

Thank you, I do plan to try SSI Okra, and maybe the Alter stuff after I read on shedding, (trying to learn what shedding).. ? When do you use the SSI Thanks.. I just thought of something I have used Nutrine Garlic Conditioner, I need to see if its the same as Alter stuff....
 
Hi, I've been lurking on this forum for 6 mos. and finally subscribed today:hiya: I really would like to join this challenge. Currently, I wash/cond. weekly and use Keracare Humecto for 2 hrs. no heat and I co-wash with either ORS replenishing pak, Silk Elements or AOHSR weekly. I've been using Aphogee 2 min reconstr. weekly as well before DC. I'm getting ready to stop Aphogee temporarily b/c I just purchased MT. Anyhoo, I've learned so much from this forum and I would love for this to be my first challenge. (DC'ing my way to SL 2012 :drunk: )

Ladies DC'ing never felt so good...it's been a few days since I last steamed and boy did I miss it:cry: I did an oil treatment today, a clarifying wash and now I'm steaming in some Millcreek Keratin conditioner, AO HSR, SAA & Rosewater....and I feel GOOD!!!
 
Howdy xu93texas! :grin: Welcome to DDDC and the posting side of life :) I see you are also a fan of the awesome ORS repelenishing conditioner :lick: :lol: Adding you now :yep:


Nix08 Not being able to DC is torture, but I see you're back on track in full force :yep: Your DC cocktail sounds delish :lick: and it sounds like you're having a ball :lol:
 
halee_J yes it is torture.....it's amazing what some steam and conditioner does for ones mood and overall well being! Forget flowers I want hubby to surprise me with some conditioner:yep:

By the way your avatar pic is beautiful - I love it...is it a twist out or something?
 
It's a gorgeous WnG halee_J!

WELCOME xu93texas! Your avatar hair is so cute.

My hair is still damp from last night's steaming. My hair hasn't been this healthy in a looooong time. I don't feel like twisting it anytime soon, though. :look:

Protein overload :-/. I'm just glad I found out what the issue was. So right now I'm DCing with Tiiva and baba de caracol under a plastic cap and scarf. Gonna go under the dryer for 20 minutes
