Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2011 (Part 4)

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.

Great tip! I may add this to my regimen as a mid-week DC.

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...

Roots Thanks for sharing! I've gotten him (and his stylist) to back away from the commercial products that cause build up because the residue leaves his hair stiff and ashen. I was planning to dilute Giovanni Smooth as Silk conditioner with water (2tbs conditioner in 8oz of water Klearli), spray his locs damp, and steam for 30 minutes. I was worried about a possible white cast, but I think the dilution will be sufficient. What do you two think?
 
Did my whole hair regimen tonight. Scalp massage to pre-poo, shampooed, then 15 minutes with GPB under a shower cap (no heat), then I DCed. I used a mix of Silk Elements' olive oil conditioner, Tresseme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner, and some AO WC. I wanted to just try the Silk Elements, but I couldn't find all of my sample packs, and the two little pouches I had weren't going to cut it for my whole head. :nono:

With that DC mix, I went under my conditioning cap. I was only going to use heat for 30 minutes, but I got caught up watching House Hunters :look: and stayed there for an hour.

My hair was verrrry soft! I will try the Silk Elements again. My relaxed hair was completely in love, and my natural roots were giving me the thumbs up as well. Only weird thing was I had like 2 fierce tangles (I detangle while in the shower after DCing), but they separated easily. I did a few things differently with today's wash so that could have caused those tangles.
 
^^^Same here. I flat ironed 3 wks ago and haven't wash my hair since. Was too sick to last week. I better get it over with tonight even though my hair still looks and feels good.
 
DCed yesterday with Elasta QP, jojoba, castor, sweet almond oils and Aussie 3 minute

I DCd with AO Blue Chamomile under my heat cap for 20 minutes. I applied oil to my scalp but not to my hair. I actually think I might like this conditioner. My hair came out very soft and was really retaining moisture.

So maybe my buying the wrong conditioner was a plus :lol:
 
DC'd yesterday on hair spritzed w/ distilled water & rosewater, and topped with Mozeke Carrot Protein DC from about 10am-6pm with plastic cap, scarf, hat. I was in & out the crib all day. My hair felt amazing.

Wish I ordered more during her sale.
 
I DC'd w/ Darcy's Botanicals Deep Conditioning Mask mixed with JBCO. My hair felt so soft afterwards. Don't know if it's a keeper yet. I will have to try it a few more times. I like that I didn't have to use much.
 
I have been slipping lately since I've been on vacation. I get back on the grind this week.

@faithVA - I've never heard of AOBC. Is it a keeper? Better than AOWC if you've tried that one?

Hola Chicas Started out with Shea Moisture Ant-Breakage masque on dry hair for about 30-45 minutes then Shampooed with Keracare afterwards Dc'd with Nutress Moisture Protein pack under hooded dryer followed with Shea Moisture Restorative Leave In/Rinse Conditioner. Then air dryed for the first time.

divachyk, I went to the store to get the White Camellia but when I got there and started looking at bottles I got confused. So when I picked up the Blue Chamomile I thought I was buying White Camellia :perplexed: Yes I know it makes no sense. As soon as I got home I knew I had bought the wrong bottle but I refused to drive back.

So I have never tried the White Camellia because I bought the wrong bottle. I definitely like it better than the Honey Suckle rose. It is not as thick as the HSR. I probably will buy the WC so I can compare. But I do like the BC.

But a warning the BC does have a strange smell. It almost smells medicated. But I'm not sensitive to smell so it doesn't bother me.
 
haven't been checking in regularly but still DC'ing weekly.

Usually I use AOHSR and Joico K-pak together. This week I used AOHSR/K-Pack and ORS Hair Mayo on dry hair. Sat under a heat cap for 45 min. Followed it up with Nexus Emergencee and my hair has never felt this good!

Will do a moisturizing DC tomorrow night. Think I may alternate protein/moisture each week during the winter.
 
I've been out of town, so I haven't posted in a while. I dc'd with ORS replenishing pak/ jbco/ and Vatika Dabur oil for 30 minutes under hood dryer this past weekend. :drunk:
 
I meant to write this over the weekend but I got a bit busy due to family but on Saturday I DC'ed with my last bit of Joico Moisture Recovery balm

I think my hair tipped a little too far on the protein side so I overnight DC with AOWC. Pulled hair in a bun (AOWC has soaked in my hair). Will cowash and DC with Kenra tonight.
 
Golden75, a few things....
-DC AND moisturizing/sealing game have been a little lacking lately while I have been on vacation for three weeks. Kinda got lazy and it sure felt good. :grin:
-Used a new protein conditioner for cowashing and it was a bit too strong for cowashing given I haven't been DCing much lately.

I tipped the scale ever so slight, thankfully nothing drastic :yep:
 
Pre-poo for 4hrs with EVCO, cleanse with Moisturizing shampoo, DC with Biolage Ultra Control Deep Smoothing Masque for 2hrs without heat,rinsed added leave-ins. my hair was easily detangled and i loss the least amount of hair, not sure if it was the DC or Seamless combs or combination of everything. I did a ponytail rollerset and airdried overnight.
