Scalp massage with fenugreek infused coconut oil and Brahmi oil. Applied ayurvedic paste & conditioner mix to hair and covered head with plastic cap.
 
I want in. I usually DC with Mixed Silk, ORS Olive Oil DC, and ORC Replenishing Conditioner. I might try Argan Oil Restorative Mask and maybe an Aubrey Organics conditioner.
 
Currently DCing (overnight) with CON Argan Oil Intensive Conditioning Treatment. I really like how soft it makes my hair feel.

For those of you who dry DC, do you shampoo after? Or do you just apply a leave in and dry? TIA.

If I dry DC its usually during a time I don't have a lot of product buildup. I would DC on dry hair and then cowash after and then do the leave-in, style thing. I have DC'd and then shampoo'd but for some reason I don't like it:rolleyes: because mostly when I want to shampoo I have a lot of product buildup. Not saying there is anything wrong with it but I just don't think my hair gets the full benefit of the DC, but I could be wrong. But I say try it and see how your hair responds. You may love it and beats having to get in and out to the shower:yawn:.

I DC'ed with Hairveda's Sitrinillah yesterday. I love that citrus smell. Makes my hair so soft.

I usually apply the DC and after rinsing apply my leave in/sealer and air dry.

But when I do shampoo, I do it before the DC. So no dry DCing will occur on my shampoo weeks.
 
The last time I DCd, my shower cap irritated my skin/hairline so badly it was red and ugly for days. I now purchased a set of disposable heating caps that don't have an elastic band or anything. They're very loose around the hairline, and I haven't tried one yet but I'm sure it will be much better!
 
Dry DC'ing now with the last of nioxin hydrating treatment ....still have some random products to use up.
 
Earlier this week I dc'd on dry hair with Aphogee 2minute reconstructor then shampood and then I dc'd with EVOO, Castor oil, Neutrogena Daily Deep cinditioner, and honey. I warmed it up in the microwave for 15 seconds and let it sit on my head(with a plastic cap) for 30-45min

Thanks guys for the advice. I am going to do my first DC this weekend and see how it goes. I won't shampoo after either.
 
I'm in, too, halee_J. Thanks for adding me.

Still looking for my staple DC. About a week ago I had the best DC of my transition (totally smooth, soft hair for days), but haven't been able to recreate it. That's my goal for this year: find a staple DC that will recreate that smoothness.

Hey gvin89 Frequent Dcing with a quality conditioner will do that for you, there was a period when I was growing out some damage and I was Dcing 2x a week to keep breakge at bay. I'm a big fan of ORS replenishing, lots of moisture, a litte protein, I love that stuff.

The theory behind a dry DC is tha applying a deep conditioner to dry hair allows it to penetrate deeper, I liken it to when a dry sponge can mop up more liquid than a damp one. I think it works well, once you have minimal buildup on your hair. It's also very convenient because you only have to get in the shower once.
 
Today I will do a protein tx on the relaxed ends: Joico K-pak + Alfaparf Rigen, then DC with ORS replensishing :yep:
 
I plan to spoil my hair this weekend(i.e. yummy, lucious DCs:lick:), because I am aiming to maintain whatever twisted style I do for 2 weeks. That way I'm not struggling to find time to do my hair, while being on call over next weekend. Also, to be able to not do all that manipulation for 2 weeks sounds intriguing. Of course, my hair is spoiled rotten and may rebel if a yummy DC does not touch her head for that period of time. We'll see.
