Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2011 (Part 4)

[prettybyrd]

I decided to Dc under a plastic cap and scarf while I worked out. This was a great idea! I was a self powered steamer.

I decided to try Darcey's Botanicals Deep Conditioning Mask - loved it!! I followed up with fresh cream and some plaits to stretch for french braids tomorrow.

i am just LOVING Joico moisture recovery Balm! it puts all of my other DCs to SHAME

i tried to dc with praitial silk worm last week and i felt like i needed to dc again with my moisture balm because the praital left my relaxed hair feeling crispy after i rinsed it out!

i dont think i can go back to mineral oil laden DCs after i have had joico

the praitial left my hair very straight after rinsing though so i will probally use it when i get deeper into my stretch

I DCed overnight over the weekend with Elasta QP Intense. I don't think I like DCing with that

 

[choctaw]

I made a henna paste of VP Chawla, catnip tea, neem and sunflower oil. Easy washout with water and no dryness. Oil rinsed using maka infused sesame oil. Applied argan oil to edges, ends, crown and braided to dry. My celie braid is growing

I DC’d this weekend with Silicon Mix .. Its my favorite now, Im never leaving, nothing treats my hair better <3

 

[halee_J]

I DCed overnight over the weekend with Elasta QP Intense. I don't think I like DCing with that

missjones I don't like that as a DC either. It actually feels like a mild protein tx on my hair, so that's how I use it. how did it make your hair feel?

 

[NaijaNaps]

I need to be all up in here.

DC'ing on dry hair with AO GBP is the TRUTH.

 

[youwillrise]

last dc'ed on friday night into saturday morning...will dc tonight. ao wc. will do on dry hair

 

[LaidBak]

DC'd for an hour while working out. Used Silk Dreams moisture cream and avocado oil

 

[halee_J]

Welcome to all of the new ladies I think the mentions may not be working for some, but I have added everyone up to this point

 

[Nix08]

I'm DC'ing now after messing up somehow on my last 'Big Wash' DC'ing now with Aloe Gel, AO WC, hemp/wgo and avocado oil hoping to recover my tresses!

 

[halee_J]

Oh noes! What happened Nix08?

 

[Nix08]

@halee_J I think I over did the protein..I used (rosewater with SAA (protein), AO Island naturals (almond protein) AND Biolage cera repair (more protein)....not only did I steam them in, I then put on a shower cap and a hat and went out The cera repair was the only odd ball part of the concoction....my hair doesn't have the silkiness it normally does.
The lesson here (for all) is to Post in the DDDC thread my plan for my DC so that hopefully written down I can identify where I might go wrong

 

[divachyk]

Nix08 - I journal my hair efforts to look back over what works and what didn't work so as to not make the mistake again. Let's just say I have a "what didn't work" entry for this month.

That's the thing... I use to journal but once I got more active posting I don't write much in my journal anymore I ought to get back to that

 

[divachyk]

DCing with steam on tomorrow with a previously used product. I'm too close to TU time to be trying something new. My options are: Jasmine's A&S, Bee Mine DC, HV SitriNillah or Kenra. Just used Kenra this past wash so I might use Jasmine's. I will prep my hair tonight for tomorrow's wash.

Nix08 - I journal daily during certain periods but I always journal my wash day process, especially when trying new product(s). It's easier for me to reference my journal vs. having to search my postings.

 

[Seamonster]

Nix08 do you have ao hsr? Think wc has a little protein. I used to get protein overload a lot til I learned which conditioners were ultra moisture.

[Nix08]

Seamonster Are you serious???? If AO WC has protein I'm in trouble...I do have HSR. If when I wash it's still hard I guess it'll be HSR for like 24 hrs

 

[Nix08]

Ok, all is well again As I was co washing my hair...I realized that although it was a lot of protein I think I know what the main culprit was my clarifying shampoo or lack thereof of a REALLY good moisturizing shampoo. So until my shampoo is done (check out the restraint) I'm going to clarify, do a moisturizing shampoo then almost co wash...so, use the products I would use if I were co washing, after. Or maybe it was also the conditioner that I used (it's very light/weak...too light/weak) I knew those were not re-purchases anyway but I'll be very good and use them up before I try something different!

 

[nerdography]

I'm going to join since I had a bad habit of never DC. I DC for the first time in a couple years since I recently relaxed. I'm going to be using Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque.

I'm going to DC overnight starting Friday when I get home from work.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

DC'ing for 1hr with QB's MTCG under a conditioning cap.

You can add me. I deep condition every week. Trying to get rid of this l'anza conditioner and i think I'm going to try joico or some other stuff. The pj in me will be out later when i go to ricky's later. Oh joy oh rapture

 

[nicole625]

Please add me!! My hair needs this. I just have to find a good conditioner again because kenra isn't doing it for my hair anymore

 

[faithVA]

Please add me halee_J. With this cool weather I can feel it sucking the moisture out of everything. Not sure what I am going to DC with yet but I will get it together by the weekend.

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

I'm in. I have been DC once a week but now that its starting to get cool I'm back to twice a week. I will DC tonight with Claudie Deep Moisturizing Condish.
