Krystle~Hime,

I like catnip tea because it is very moisturizing. I use it in henna pastes and as final leave-in rinse. I buy it at the pet food store because it is fresher and cheaper than the local organic shops. HTH

The website http://www.longhaircommunity.com/ has several posts about catnip and split ends. It is my experience that catnip is very moisturizing and that should help to prevent split ends.

Tues night I overnight DCed with AOWC and cowashed out with HV Moist Condition Pro on Wed.

 

[kupenda]

DCed yesterday with Cantu protein leave in with castor, sweet almond, an jojoba oil added. Under the dryer for thirty minutes. My hair felt great! Cowashed with V05 and gelled down the front. I don't feel like doing my hair. So it's under a scarf that I hope looks pretty lol. I don't even want to see my hair. But I will take the scarf down every few hours to moisturize and seal as needed.

I'm trying to convince my stepfather to steam conditioner into his locs. They look fine, but they can use the extra moisture infusion.

Today I sectioned my hair in quarters and dampened each section with water, then applied Organix Coconut conditioner and detangled, then applied warm EVOO. Placed a baggy on my head and sat with my thermal heat cap on for about 40 mins. Then I took the heat cap off and tied a scarf around the baggy and then placed a winter hat over it and slept for about 1 1/2 hrs. My hair felt really nice after. After shampooing I applied Megatek to only the bottom half of my hair focusing on my ends for 7 mins under a shower cap and then applied Beemine bee-u-ti-ful deep conditioner focusing heavily on my ends and am now sitting under my steamer typing this. We'll see how much my hair appreciates this TLC when this is rinsed out!

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

DC'd for 1hr with CJ repair me under a conditioning cap

I forgot to check in last week when I DC. About to go under my steamer again for this week's session. I have to say that I can totally feel the difference when I take care of my hair like this. These weekly DC are now a must for me every Saturday... I can't imagine not doing them.

You know I had locs for 6 years and one of the things I regretted was applying conditioner to my locs under heat. They left a white residue on the surface of some that I could never get rid of, and when I did my BC I still had locs with the white residue right in the middle part of the hair.

I'm sure there's better and lighter conditioners available for locs today, so I would investigate a bit more and would be extra cautious when doing a DC because it is very difficult to wash excess product out once it has penetrated.

Hope this helps!

ETA: You know, I'm now wondering if the build-up was bees wax. I've been Googling about conditioning dreads. I dunno...

I have a kalpi tone & fenugreek paste in now that I will steam. Then I will follow up with a steam with Claudie's Protein Conditioner.

I'm trying a new thing now where instead of washing my hair twice a week I'm replacing one of the washes with a deep conditioning session. What I do is apply conditioner to dry hair and use my steamer to deep condition my hair. I rinse out my hair, apply my leave ins and then do a twist out. My hair feels so moisturized. I used to deep condition on dry hair with my hooded dryer and my hair used to love it. I thought to myself why not do it with the steamer? It's great, this will definitely be part of my regimen from now on.
