Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2012 (Part I)

Welcome to the Delightfully Delicious Deep Conditioning Challenge 2012 (Pt.1)





​

Want better retention? More moisture? Healthier hair? More managable hair? Wanna stay up on your DC game?

​

This challenge is for you!


​

The benefits of regular deep conditioning:

• One THE best ways to increase and maintain proper moisture levels in the hair
• Improves manageability
• Reduces splits and breakage i.e. great for retention
• Effective way of maintaining protein/moisture balance

We know, but we forget, we get lazy. This challenge is to keep us consistent




Everyone is welcome! Natural, texlaxed, texturized, transitioning, and relaxed heads. Ladies with braids or cornrowed under wigs/weaves come on in!



This challenge will run in quarters:

Part 1: January 1st –March 31st
Part 2: April 1st – June 30th
Part 3: July 1st – September 30th
Part 4: October 1st - December 31st





Da Rules:

1. Deep condition at least once per week, on wet or dry hair. If you are wearing braids or weaves, once per 10-14 days.

2. Shampooing is not required.

3. Deep condition using your method of choice: Heat cap, hooded dryer, steamer, hot towels or no heat.

4. You must DC for a minimum of 30 minutes.

5. Come check in at least once a week to update us on how it's going for you. Also, it would be helpful if we know what you are using as your deep conditioners of choice. This helps to inform the newbies in that we'll know if they are using the correct conditioners for their hair in an effort to avoid protein/moisture overload.

6. Let us know what kind of results you are getting from a conditioner as well, whether you liked it or not and why.
