Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2011 (Part 4)

DC'ing with ORS replenishing conditioner after Bentonite clay treatment. After using the bentonite I really want to use natural earth type stuff like ayurvedic or herbal powders. My hair responds really well to stuff like clay.
 
So I've successfully created my very own deep conditioner. Used it on my friend's hair last week and on my hair tonight and I LOVE IT. I'll keep it in rotation. I would sell it but I don't have that much time on my hands and I know most LHCF ladies aren't keen to online vendors anymore. :look: :lol:

PICS and ingredients in the next post.
 
I made it from natural ingredients I had bought over the months that I just wanted to use up, turned out to be an incredible success! :yep:

My batch filled TWO 16 oz. jars to the rim. I whipped all the butters beforehand

Ingredients:
1 Cup Shea Butter
1/2 Cup Mango Butter
1 Cup Cupuacu Butter
1/2 Cup Coconut Cream
1/2 Cup Avocado Oil
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Castor Oil

I also added about 12 drops of Vitamin E T-50 and kept mixing.

Saturated my hair with EVOO and topped that with Sitrinillah. Been under a shower cap and turbie twist for about 1/2 hour. Not planning on rinsing any time soon.
 
Poranges Hey does ur mix rinse clean out or did u notice any butter being left behind? I have 4b natural hair and that sounds good but shea is always hard to rinse out. I might be interested in trying your mix there.......

I whipped the butters extensively, they were EXTREMELY fluffy when I was done, mixed with the oils and coconut cream the mix turned out very silky and light. Stuff doesn't rinse easily from my hair either but it rinsed easily after 2 thorough rinses. :yep:

I lurve Vitaglo! Never had any problems with them. I'm eyeing that GPB! :lick:

They're the only place I know that have the Large Sized AO GPB's and it's a decent price.:yep:
 
Poranges Would it work better as a Leave-In? And what would you do differently (add/subtract) to get it to Rinse easier?

Either way, it looks really good & like a professional hand-made.:lick:

Go'On Ms. Mixtress!:grin:

I don't think it would be a good leave in, at least not on relaxed hair. The two things it's worked perfectly for me as is a DC and a moisturizer for my ends. It is VERY light. It has the consistency of SSI fortifying masque but creamier, a little slippery.

I did what I usually do. Shampoo, apply my DC overnight and rinse in the morning, it rinsed out clean and my hair didn't feel light nor heavy, just moisturized.

i applied the cholesterol and my hair felt dryish even thought it was soaked. So i put some joico moisture balm on top and my hair felt moisturized and smooth. So i sat under the dryer for 30 minutes. When i rinsed it out i had ZERO slip or moisture. My hair was also very curly and hard to comb. my hair wasnt soft,silky,smooth like it should have been judging from the reviews of these two products.

joico products seemed to work only after my fresh relaxer. it doesnt do anything for my hair now and the lekair was le krap. It was so cheap i think i will just throw the rest out.
 
So far the best dc ive used was silk elements mayonaise.moisture,slip,softness plus it made my hair smell so great! i think i will use up what i have and that will be my staple dc.

halee_J thank u for letting me be apart of this challenge. I have, however, decided to quit. After doing a bentonite clay treatment followed up by a really good deep condition, my hair was glorious. It was so great. But as soon as I start doing my hair (protective style), it dries up as if I never did anything. It does this with ANYTHING that I use. Doesn't matter what it is. Im quitting the deep conditioning thing. It's time consuming and doesn't work. Nothing works really lol. So....thanks and I know it doesn't really matter but just wanted to let you know.
 
Pre-Poo with Shea Moisture /Dc'd with Nutress moisture and protein package. Also used Laila Ali's intensive hydrating shampoo and conditioner for the first time. I normally use Kercare but was curious about this line so decided to try it since a family member bought it. I liked it and think I will buy it but will use a couple more times before I make a final decision on it.

I know the year is almost over but I have been DC weekly for a few months now with great results. Starting this week I will be changing how i DC and also the products that I am using.
How I DC: new to my regimen a STEAMER! I've had my eye on the Huetiful hair steamer for about a year now and my wonderful hubby just bought it for me as my anniversary present! So I will be using my steamer starting tomorrow I will be using that to DC for about 20-30 mins after shampooing.

Products: Also new to my regimen are my products. I will be using Megatek under a shower cap for 5-10mins (I will post exactly how long after I use it). Then I will be sitting under the steamer with Beemine Bee-u-ti-ful deep conditioner (also a first try :) )

I will be doing this tomorrow morning and will post my results!

:wave:Welcome to the DDDC ladies! :)

OsnapCnapp! Don't give up just yet. I've had this same problem. I'm thinking that if your hair feels good after the DC but dries hard, that doesn't necessarily mean that DC doesn't work for you, it could be a symptom of other things like builup or a porosity issue. Sent you a PM :yep:
 
Shampooed with Nexxus Therappe. Currently DCing with a mix of Elasta QP DOR 11, Nexxus Humectress, oils, and ORS Replenishing under a towel. No heat

So today I washed with VO5 Clarifying shampoo & detangled with Organix coconut conditioner. After rinsing I applied Megatek and covered with a shower cap for 7 mins then rinsed. Then I applied Beemine Bee-u-ti-ful deep conditioner and sat under my steamer for approx. 30mins and rinsed. My hair felt moisturized yet strong at the same time. It wasn't as soft as usual but still didn't feel dry or hard/brittle either. I could definately tell the Megatek strengthened it. When I styled (in my 2-strand twists) I noticed literally 2 tiny broken hairs! A far cry from how much breakage I experienced before. And waaay less shedding! YAHOO! I don't think I will use the Megatek for a few weeks just to avoid protein overload.
 
I did a henna treatment and followed with a DCing with Honey Hair Mask (this conditioner is not thick but coconut butter helped a little). I added my ceramide oils, coconut butter, and a splash of avj. Hair is feeling nice! :yep:
 
I was supposed to be AO White Camelia but somehow I got confused and bought AO Blue Camomile. And I didn't feel like taking it back. But I think I will like this one better than the AOHSR. It is thinner which my hair likes. I will have to try it out a few times to really see how I like it.

I did DC with it tonight. I combed it through my strands and then let it sit for an hour then sat under my heat cap for 30 minutes. It felt good when I rinsed it out. But I was tired so didn't really pay attention to how well it did.

I will give it another test next weekend.
 
I would like to join! I DCed my hair last week with Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose mixed with Mega Care's Carrot and Aloe Oil mix. When I rinsed out my hair it felt so moisturized that my hair actually felt heavy. It was my first time using the oil. It smells great! I think it's a keeper.
