Girl I cant believe it has been 2 months already:) So far so good. I am about to blowdry my hair now:) I am also going to use my splitender. This is the only time I use heat and I can really tell my hair is a little longer than the last time. What I like most about the BKT is that because I do it myself I never use 450 degrees. I only use 375(length)-400(roots) and only do 5-7 swipes(less for length). This helps me not have heat damage:grin:. I woke up like a kid on christmas:grin:
 
I DCed this past weekend with ApHogee 2 min and this upcoming weekend I will use Giovanni's SAS.....I am trying to get that conditioner out the way.
 
Has anyone noticed anything different with their hair? Is the DCing helping? I'm a raging DC pj. Can't pass up a good DC at the store lol. And I love sitting under my dryer. I really do find that a good deep condition is yummy to me. Makes me feel all silly lol.

Which reminds me. I want to try silicon mix but the one i saw was $6. Surely their DC isn't actually that cheap? I didn't buy it just cuz I'm used to paying so much more. Thought maybe I was looking at the wrong product. Advice?

DCing has become pretty therapeutic. My hair looks and behaves a million times better IMO. I didn't realize that I had not reached optimal moisture; or that I should be using a mild protein regularly for my fine strands. My hair has much more sheen, doesn't need heavy moisturizer during the week, always wants to be out swanging (as much as natural hair will swang :look:), and feels thicker. It's so much stronger and heavier. I'm so glad I jumped into this round, and especially glad bought a steamer. (I can't shutup about it :grin:)

I think that's the right Silicon Mix. When I used to use it, I would get a huge eco-styler gel sized jar for $10 in East Harlem.

The only 'negative' about this thread are the PJs like IDareT'sHair, tiffers, winona, and Coffee. They're always ravin about some new natural conditioner and I want to try it and smell it. It's not fair. Don't yall understand I'm broke?! Yall are just selfish. :ohwell:
 
kupenda, I cannot do without a DC at least 1x a week my hair just doesn't act right. If I don't DC regularly no amt of leave-in will mositurize my hair, it'll just be frizzy, dry and hella unruly..... and breakage, there will be breakagae :nono: DCing is essential for me.
 
Thanks! I love DCing. I've already planned out at least four steaming sessions for the rest of the year :) and I have a list of new ones that I want. Yay!!

Dc'ing now with Silk Dreams Shea What and Claudie's Garden Oil. Yummeh. :lick:
 
I think I have protein overload :/. It's frizzy and dry, even when I moisturize it. I have been using Aphogee 2 min but then hair started to feel really dry so I stopped. Will DC with SE Mega Moisture tonight and just take it one day at a time.

I think I'm going to DC with the Elasta QP Intense. I should use up the Creme of Nature Jojoba DC. I didn't really care for that too much. It smells good though.
 
Just cut open my BFH Ginger Macadamia and used the last of it mixed with Garden Oil. :lick:

kupenda - Once I started DCing every week, my hair definitely started improving. It got so much healthier and stayed that way. :yep: I love deep conditioning, too, though. :grin:
 
Mixed up henna/amla/maka paste with coconut water, egg and home made ayurvedic oil (castor, coconut, mustard and sesame oils infused with brahmi, fenugreek, henna, hibiscus and maka).
 
Last week I did a clay treatment with rhassoul clay, coconut milk & herbal teas which I use a deep condish treatment! My hair so enjoys those treatments. Don't know why I only do them once a month or so but I will be incorporating them in a regular basis. Yesterday I did my usual poo with Cocoveda shampoo bar and DC'ed with APHSR and my ceramide mix with a splash of olive oil! Hair is feeling good!
 
Today did a preproo, shampoo, and deep conditioned. I DC'd with DPR-11 mixed with EVOO, EVCO, jojoba oil, honey, and peppermint EO for 4 hours and my coils are soft and defined! I wanna try a new baggy method tonight so next weekend I plan on doing an overnight DC and see how that works out.
 
I DCed with Elasta QP Intense after doing the Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor. I don't know how I feel about that. :ohwell:
 
Shay72 Now you know you can't come up in here with the :love: smiley and not elaborate! :lachen:

I gots the Avocado on the way and need all of the reviews I can get! Also, IDareT'sHair told me that you and Brownie518 use Claudie's Deep Conditioner... reviews please! :grin:

Hi,

Just got back from a business conference so I have just been keeping my hair up throughout this weekend. Right now I am sitting with Rusk Keratin Care Deep Penetrating Treatment on my hair under a Mastex heat cap so we will see. I notice as I was applying the conditioner my hair reverted back :) So I am 99.9% positive that I didn't get any heat damage. I cant wait to rinsed this out and will report back. I do the BKT just for manageability not for straightness.

Update: I absolutely love :grin: how it turned out:) My is the same bush that I know yet I dont get root tangles anymore that require me to spend hours finger detangling prior to getting in the shower:) I think later in my journey I might become a straight natural because of how much I enjoyed the ease of my straight hair this weekend but right now I am enjoying both worlds:)
