Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2011 (Part 3)

[MrJohnsonsRib]

Oh yes i forgot about my Aloe juice and honey. This is going to save me a bit of money as i have alot of rinse out condish i need to use up. Thanks hun. x

See this is what I may be able to do. I went through on the weekend and cleaned out my hair bins from wigs, to hair, to clips, to products that take up too much space and did nothing for my hair. I am trying to KISS because my hair is in such a dire state that instead of starting with a buttload of "processes" I should just do things basic like cleanse, protect, and nourish. I get so overwhelmed with all the info that I try to hop on every bandwagon and find myself hating everything I tried. I have a bunch of V05 at the house so I figure I could give them a DC boost with some of the above mentioned ingredients. I want to join in on the challenge because this will be a great revival opportunity for my hair, but I want to make sure the conditioner I use will actually help. I like ORS packet, but I am not sure of the moisture/protein balance in it. Does anybody know if it has strong proteins? I want to make sure I am balanced. Thanks. I will join if I find a proper conditioner to DC with. I have 4 type hair and I think some 3 type in the crown. <-What does it mean when your hair is easier to comb through and has no shrinkage but just this wave? Is that 3 type? The rest of my hair snaps down like an unstretched slinky.Lol! This multiple texture thing is not the business. I don't mind the 4 but give me 4 all over.

After rinsing out the L'anza, I co-washed with the last of my AOHSR and that stuff almost made me cuss, it was so good!

Used a mix of Hairveda's Acai Berry and Bear Fruit Hair's Macadamia Conditioner for my leave-in and my hair was just ridiculously soft.

 

[13StepsAhead]

Hey ladies I dc'ed with AE Garlic mask on Saturday. I' currently in 2-strand twist and will DC this weekend with the HV green conditioner.

MrJohnsonsRib I use ORS replenishing conditioner, aka ORS Pak and I find it to extremely moisturizing. It does have a little protein, but they are mild proteins (collagen &silk) that help with elasticity, softness and moisture retention. It's my staple moisture deep conditioner Oh and just in case you didn't know, that wonderful goodness comes in bottles too

I need to find something to deep condition my braids with.

Thanks. Can I boost the ORS with maybe some honey or some AVJ stuff like that? It's good as is. I was just curious.

You could try it and see if you like it better with extra stuff mixed in, but to me it's pretty good as is.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Steamed today with Tiiva Naturals DC'er

 

[divachyk]

@IDareT'sHair - you're liking that Tiiva, eh? I'll find out firsthand shortly.

 

[Nix08]

Under the steamer now...Aloe and Silicon for about 2 hours dry...added the oils and Giovanni for 15 minutes under the steamer.

 

[Lanea87]

My Wednesday DC will consist of 2 tsp of Amla and Brahmni mixed into 1c of LeKair Cholesterol Plus and 2 tsp of EVOO/Safflower Oil. If I have a hard time rinsing I will use Salon Care Honey and Almond Conditioner, but hopefully I wont.

The recipe I seen called for 4 tsp of Amla but I rather work my way up cause I am just not sure.

 

[reeko43]

Please add me! Reading through to find some conditioner ideas and decided to join the challenge. I find that dc'ing while doing long runs on Saturday have yielded excellent results. Time will depend on how many miles I do which vary. Trying to use up old stash before I go back to natural dc. I will be using ORS and Argan One and Only Hair Mask until used up

 

[Mami_Chula416]

did aphogee 2 step protein treatment then dc'd with silicon mix with heat for 15 minutes.
I love how soft my hair is

 

[Rossy2010]

Did a tea rinse yesterday and Dced with AOHRS mixed with JBCO and EVOO i love this mixture coz my hair loves it

 

[halee_J]

Welcome to DDDC reeko43!


Last night's DC combo of ORS + Joico = Will do this again on Friday

 

[DesignerCurls]

I'm still in
I will be doing a henna treatment and dc'ing soon. Will come back to update with details.

Ok this is my first DC treatment for the 3rd session because I straightened my hair on the 1st. I used color remover on my ends to gently lighten them then rinsed applied henna and amla paste to my whole end. I left that in my hair for 6 hours then rinsed, rinsed, & rinsed.

DC'ed with my usual AOHSR and my added ceramide oil mix... i was glad to see my curls again! My hair was butter soft. And I'm diggin' the two tone colors. I might do another henna in another week to make the red deeper.

The above is my staple for weekly DC'ing but I think I will be trying out a couple of new DC products this session (just to have a back up).

 

[Lanea87]

My Wednesday DC will consist of 2 tsp of Amla and Brahmni mixed into 1c of LeKair Cholesterol Plus and 2 tsp of EVOO/Safflower Oil. If I have a hard time rinsing I will use Salon Care Honey and Almond Conditioner, but hopefully I wont.

The recipe I seen called for 4 tsp of Amla but I rather work my way up cause I am just not sure.

It came out to be 1 tbsp of Amla and Brahmni mixed into 2/3c of LeKair Cholesterol Plus and 1/3 Salon Care Honey and Almond Conditioner, 1/3c of Aloe Vera Juice, and 2 tbsp of EVOO/Safflower Oil.....I added too much Aloe Vera Juice but I was scared that I was going to have a hard time washing out the powder. So next time I wont add the Aloe Vera Juice or not as much. My mix was too much for this DC session but I am fine because I will just have some for nxt Wednesday DC session. I may take half of the mixture that I have left and just add it the the rest of the LeKair I have left over nxt week......Well we live and learn so now I know better as far as how to mix this stuff next time b/c I like thick DC's and this was not at all . I will add to this how the wash out session was and how my hair felt once dry!

My hair feels good as in silky and it is definetly stronger, not super strong but stronger. So I am still on for my Nexxus Emergencee treatment over the weekend.

 

[TeeSGee]

I pre-poo my hair with cheapy condish (garnier) for 1 hr, shampoo and DC'in with Joico Silk results (finishing bottle) for 2 hrs without heat.. will rinse, apply liquid leave-ins, blow dry and bun.

 

[Nix08]

This was my first time using silicon mix in a DC and I liked it except the smell was just too strong. Even after washing it out with shampoo, conditioner and leave ins I can still smell it.

 

[tiffers]

I'm dc'ing now with GVP Joico K-Pak and I liked how it felt when I put it in my hair.

It's so weird because when I was relaxed, my hair haaaated protein.

 

[missjones]

I got Elasta QP's Intense Fortifying Conditioner yesterday. I'll see how that does on my braids this weekend.

 

[Nix08]

Don't think I'll use Silicon mix as a DC again...the smell as already mentioned but my hair doesn't feel as yummy as usual.

 

[katblack]

I did a deep treatment with JASON conditioner and I added avocado oil, rose hip seed oil and castor oil to the mix. It made my hair really soft

 

[halee_J]

Is it just me or is this week flying by? Gonna DC tomorrow night or Sat am with a mix of ORS replenishing and Joico intense hydrator.

It is. LolaKinkz, 160Days2Lose2, and Tastiredbone did reviews on youtube. LolaKinkz did mention that the owner's response to some things said on naturally curly did leave a bad taste in her mouth. Consistency issues I believe. She did send Lola replacements (2 I believe). But I'm the type if I wanna try something I will. I've been waiting for a sale and she had one on the 4th.

 

[divachyk]

Okay so I'm gonna have busy weekend - family reunion stuff. I'll pamper the hair on Sunday after being out and about with family on rural, dirt road FL. ETA: I will be using Alter Ego Garlic to stop post-TU before it starts and something new. Not sure what though.
