Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2011 (Part 3)

[Nix08]

DDDC plan for today under the steamer:
Aloe Vera
Prairie Naturals (SAA) reconstructor
Avocado/olive oil
Giovanni Deeper Moisture Con
During cool down I'll put Burt's Bees pre poo treatment on.

 

[NappyNelle]

I bought a steamer to aid me in this challenge and I can't wait for it to get here.

I tried Giovanni's Smooth as Silk conditioner last week for the first time and my hair felt buttery soft despite still being in twists. After I try this conditioner with the steamer, I'll see if it'll become a staple in my regimen and replace my other conditioner.

 

[Lanea87]

Saturday is wash day so Imma wash with Crème of Nature Professional Detangling- Conditioning Shampoo, apply the Nexxus Emergencee, rinse out then DC with Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner with some Coconut Oil. While still wet apply my LI's and do my braids for my braid out and keep it moving until Wednesday the nxt DC day!

Chilling with my Nexxus Emergencee, I wanna leave it on for 15 mins cause I really need some strength to my hair but not overload. Then imma throw on my DC for like an hour + or so....

 

[Shay72]

Did a steam with cassia paste (cassia,water, cocasta oil), washed out and now dcing with Ambrosia Hair Cocopassion Hair Nectar. Will steam this also.

 

[divachyk]

Steaming with Tiiva on the length and AE Garlic on the roots. This is my first time using Tiiva. Will provide a brief review of my thoughts when done.

 

[myhair84]

DC'ed with Tiiva with some Mozeke Avocado moisturizer on top overnight. Rinsed it out in the afternoon and my hair felt really soft. I then co-washed with Suave Ripe Strawberry condish (I don't like the scent, smells like fake strawberries ) then detangled with Mozeke Grapeseed Detangling Conditioner (love this). My hair was very moisturized, but not overly moisturized. Twisted it up for the week and went about my business .

DCed on Thursday with a garlic mask on scalp and Silicon Mix on hair

 

[divachyk]

My mini review of Tiiva. Okay so I steamed with Tiiva. After I was done, my hair felt great, but that's true for every time I steam. The real test is when I've rinsed the conditioner, applied my leave-ins and air dried. My hair air dried bushy and dull. I have low porosity and try my best to stay away from acidic products. Notice this DCner has aloe vera. I haven't used aloe vera since the kimmaytube LI days. My hair had the same bushy & dull effect way back then also so I stopped using her LI. Perhaps aloe simply doesn't agree with my hair.

I attempted to do a ph test on the Tiiva conditioner but didn't get a good reading. I'll use it once more, if the same effect happens, I will discontinue use because when bushy and dull, my hair tends to be a little more fragile and prone to breakage.

My hair is soft although it's very big, bushy and looks dull. I like shiny sheen to my hair so right now, it will not make the staple list.

divachyk - you made me think about my Okra. I think I'll use that on my Wednesday wash. Then I'll DC with Avocado & Silk.

 

[halee_J]

Thanks for the review divachyk. I said it before but girl your hair is looking just amazing! I'm already envisioning you at full WL

 

[tiffers]

Dc'ing now with Kenra Platinum Shea Butter Reconstructor. Trying to use a lot of things up and this is next on the list.

After rinsing, I'll oil rinse and then co-wash with the last of the Kenra.

I feel so accomplished and proud when I empty a bottle/jar of something.

 

[divachyk]

Ah shucks halee_J - you're making me blush. I see those workouts are creeping up in #. Hi 5 to you for 92 workouts!

Brownie518 - dust off that Okra, girl.

divachyk - Sho will. Just got that 16oz, too

My next DC session will be Thurs night. I want so badly to try something new that's in my stash - like Enso or SSI - but I will see how my hair is responding then before deciding. I might play it safe and bring back the staple - Kenra Moisturizing or HV SitriNillah - in rotation to get me back in sync.

This horrible hot and humid weather tears my hair up so I def. need to play it safe and use some tried and trues.

@tiffers - what was wrong with Jasmine's the first time around. I love my steamer; use it everytime I DC unless pressed for time.

Sorry, girly. I'm just now seeing this!

Well, the first time I used it, I left it on for like, 24 hours out of laziness. When I rinsed it out, I wasn't impressed.

This last time, I only left it in for about 6-8 hours and my hair liked that much better.

She's fickle, what can I say?

 

[Minty]

Add me to the challenge. I going for 2x a week DC.

 

[regina07]

Hi ladies! You've been added

 

[naturalagain2]

Still have my sew in.....I diluted AOHSR condish and sprayed on and DC'd overnight. My scalp feels great and I'm loving this sew-in! I hope I have lots of growth when I take it out in August after my vacation.

 

[Mami_Chula416]

dc'd last night with komaza olive moisture mask, luv the smell

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

Still DC every Wed and Sun. DC last night with my Aveda/Alter Ego/Joico/WGO mixture under the steamer for 30 min.

 

[kupenda]

DCed last nite with hairvedas green conditioner. It's nice with an interesting smell but nothing to get too excited abt. Gotta get my hair blown out today so I'm gonna DC again but with the aphogee 2 min followed by my silk elements mixed with some grapeseed oil

[Minty]

DC with Alter Ego.

 

[divachyk]

HijabiFlygirl - Are you using AE Garlic all over or roots only? My version indicates roots only (or something to that degree). When I first used it, I didn't read the instructions and slapped it all over. My hair felt nice but then later read it was to be applied to roots only. So, I'm just checking to see how you are using it.

Aw, man, that's disappointing. It looks so yummy!

 

[Minty]

It gives great shine so I use it as regular DC - but I do part (about 5 on each side) and apply to my scalp then massage for a bit.

side note:
I've been thinking of using it more often and adding garlic oil drops to it. After reading the *POTION* garlic is all I'm really interested in taking from the "formula"

As long as it doesn't leave a lingering odor, I'm good with it.

 

[tiffers]

Dc'ing now with Kenra Shea Butter Reconstructor (the last of it!) and will leave it on for a few hours.

I've used up four bottles/jars of conditioner in the past few weeks and feel so proud. :woohoo:

 

[divachyk]

1 day post Tiiva usage and it's a wrap. Will gift this to the dh for when he visits my salon for some wifey pampering.
