DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

[spacetygrss]

Currently sitting under the dryer with Joico Moisture Recovery Balm.

 

[bluwatersoul]

I am DC'ing now with a mixture of ORS, honey, and coconut oil.

 

[tiffers]

futurescbride, it's a Dominican rinse made by a company called Q&S. It's not actually whale sperm, but oil taken from back fat of a sperm whale.

Rinses are meant to give slip, shine and softness. Kinda like a co wash conditioner

I got it from www.roundbrushhair.com

 

[DaDragonPrincess]

Today is my Hair Day, heres what I have been using so far.....


I shampoo my hair, I applyed honey and jojoba oil through my hair down to ends, I let it sit for 20 minutes,then rinsed out.

Then I DC for a hour with my megatek mix.

Then I used my Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor for 10 minutes.

Right now i'm DCing with Creme Of Nature Chamomile&Comfrey Healing Conditioner for 3 hours or maybe more.

After I wash out that, I will apply my leave-ins and rollerset my hair.

[deusa80]

I'm sitting under the dyer right now...

I pre-poo'd w/ a mix of shikakai oil and castor oil.

I co-washed with a Jason's Naturals conditioner...I don't remember the name right now. But I'm pretty sure it's a protein conditioner... I skipped a protein treatment today since I used that.

Today is the first time I'm trying honey in my DC. I mixed shescentit avocado conditioner, honey, avocado oil and evoo.

I think i'll stay under the dryer for 30 mins today.

Hope it turns out well... I'm still trying to work out a good regimine for my hair, but no matter what I've still been DC'ing twice a week.

 

[GoldenBreeze]

ok just shampooed with keracare hydrating and detangling shampoo followed that with keracare humecto. Left that on for 20 minutes(with a cap) followed that with aphogee two minute reconstructor. After rinsing with lukewarm water(couldn't do cold its cold enough outside already) towel dryed and put about a quarter size dollop of lacio lacio and am air drying right now.

someday i will figure out how to put pics in my sig tag but in the meantime i uploaded progress pics to the album on here feel free to peek in

You'll need to upload your pics. to a photo storage site like fotki, photo bucket, etc. Then you can use the link from the photo, and copy and past the link in your sigi, or in a post.

My hair reacts this way to most natural organic poos and that's what this is. I have it too and it's great while it's on my hair but not after washing it out. But once you deep condition with a moisturizing DC, it seems to be okay. There must be something in these poos that helps them to cleanse to a squeaky clean kinda clean but I'm sure they don't really cause any real damage if followed up by a DC, you know?

ETA: I'd recommend that you dilute it next time and definitely don't use too much. I find that a little goes a long way with these natural poos.

Does this include the AO shampoos'? I haven't tried them, but it's good to know just in case. Thanks.

I just DC'd with heat using silk elements megasilk olive. Here's a progress update... I have conditioner in my hair in both pics.

Excellent progress in those two months!! Great job.

 

[trinigal27]

I have been keeping up quite well with my deep conditioning. Today I started taking out my braids, am feeling so tired, think am going to finish up tomorrow. After the braids are out am going to be giving my hair some well deserved deep conditioner ever other day for two weeks then put back in some braids or twist.

 

[Aggie]

Well, don't worry Jax, I only managed one DC this week, too...sigh (de ja vu?). Pre-poo'd overnight with Suave Tropical Coconut condish (smells yummy)...and now I have on Miss Jessie's Deep Conditioner (don't know the name) and the Keracare Intensive Reconstructor...then I'll do an ApHogee Treatment because I have a relaxer next week (I had to cancel the one I was supposed to have today), and then I'll roller set. I took a picture of my hair...there's a big improvement from my avi photo to my siggy photo...and it was only three weeks difference! Thanks for this challenge!

Lookin' good Liege4421.

Hey Aggie, is hot oil considered a DC? I kinda feel like doing one tonight.

I won't call it a DC but there are many women who do them - I am not one of them so I couldn't really give an objective response on this one sevetlana, but I hope there's someone here who can assist with a response for you.....anyone? I am not even sure of the benefits of hot oil treatments as I always thought of oils as sealants and really good scalp massage products, but as a deep conditioner - I have no clue honey. I am so sorry I couldn't help with this one.

[Aggie]

Thanks much for your response, I have some Kemi Oyl that I mixed it with coconut and olive oil. Will report back with results. I hope some one chimes in.

Yeah I know that oils are great for oil rinses but as DCs, I have no idea but I would like to hear of your results though. I hear that coconut oil has the ability to penetrate the hair so this just might work.

 

[Ganjababy]

I just hennaed for 8 hours, co washed it out and I am now dc'ing with NTM mask

 

[GoldenBreeze]

Oh yes, definitely!

Thanks sweetie. I'm strickly a no-poo'er, but I've been considering either shampoo bars or AO shampoo. My hair really doesn't like SLS, or ALS.

Hey Aggie, is hot oil considered a DC? I kinda feel like doing one tonight.

HO is not a dc, because it doesn't really add moisture. It lubricates and makes the hair easier to comb out later in the care process. It is also great if you have a really dry scalp. I use hot oil as a part of my DC sometimes. I'm doing it today actually.

Here's what I'm doing today:

1. Hot oil (sunflower & castor) for about 20 - 30 mins.
2. Add my DC (Terax Crema) right on top of the oil.
3. Put the plastic cap back on, and then put on a towel or scarf.
4. Leave it all on for several hours.
5. Get in the shower, and rinse out.
6. CO-wash.

My hair and scalp are very happy afterward.

 

[Eisani]

DC'd yesterday on dry hair w/KBB Luscious Locks. Cowashed afterward w/Hairveda Moist ConditionPro.

I do something a bit similar. I've been prepooing with vatika frosting for 2 hours to overnight for at least 5 months now--2 times a week. I just added an additional day this week. I am now alternating bw vatika and njoi creations ayurvedic hair butter. I use plastic cap also. I also get under the dryer for 1 hour. Then I either put my dc right on top of the oil or I cowash it out depending on my goals for that day.

I dc'd with a greek yogurt, wheat protein, and cocasta & shikakai oil mix yesterday. 1 hr with heat then I left it on for about 4 hours. My hair felt strong but a little dry when I washed it out. I followed up with a cowash with AOHSR and was good to go.

Thanks you for your response GoldenBreeze. I will try it next time. I do have a dry itchy scalp.

Ok here is the update.

I soaked my hair with the warm oil mixture. Sat under heat for 20mins, then I applied some more and went back under heat for about 15min.

I rinsed, used some shampoo, I did not use any conditioner, just shampoo, My hair was very very easy to detangle. I roller set and air dryed for the most part.

My hair is not happy.. It is a big poofy mess (7wks post) it is little hard, no breakage no shedding at the moment. (boy my hair was big!) It seemed to make my hair shrink alot.

I think where I erred was not using a conditioner even a rinse out type would have offered some sort of softness I think.

I will do it the way GB does it the next time.
No harm done, I will be doing my regular DC tom night after my work out. My hair should return to normal.

Thanks every one.

 

[healthyhair2]

Okay ,so today I DC'd with Syntonics Intensive Treatment. 30 minutes under the heat cap.

Hello ladies, here's an update on what's been going on with my hair in the past week

1. I'm starting to think my hair doesn't like cones. The inner pj in me is happy about this bc I get to buy new cone-free products.
2. Tried AO HSR and love love loved it! Normally conditioners feel good on my hair and then after I rinse it out my hair dries hard. AO HSR left my hair softer than usual!
3. Tried an ACV rinse. I think I like it, it made my hair feel sleeker. But the verdict is still out, I need to try it a couple more times.
4. I self-relaxed for the first time at 11 weeks post. Whooo that was an experience! Long story short, part of my hair is texlaxed but I have learned some lessons that will help me next time, and it's empowering to not have to rely on a stylist.
5. Oh and I dc'ed twice this week once with AO HSR, and second time with a mix of AO HSR, Aphogee 2 min and Castor oil

HHG ladies!

 

[moonglowdiva]

I deep conditioned my hair yesterday. I have been faithful to my ORS replenishing conditioner and SS R&R Hair Mayonnaise. I rollerset my hair. It have some much body. I got that swang. I feel happy about my hair for a change.

 

[tgrowe]

DC yesterday with SE Mega Cholesterol without heat for 3 hours. I had braids for almost six weeks and did an Emergencee Treatment; then I followed it with my SE Mega Cholesterol.

WAAA! Couldn't do that, lol - you're brave! Thankfully no shedding/breakage - hope it feels better after the follow-up DC. I've heard people rave about adding oil to shampoos and then not conditioning - I'm so very scared to try, lol! I'm all to happy to eliminate shampoos though..... but not condish!

HHG ladies!

I LOVE AOHSR too!

At least you are partly texlaxed and not partly over-processed. Good on you, taking the initiative to self-relax! I know I feel great not having to rely on stylists for hair maintenance.... and your hair ends up better cared for, and you've extra change in the pocket to try out the cone-free 'poos!

 

[Jaxhair]

Girls, I have a question about hot oil treatments - do you warm up the oil to a temp your skin can tolerate and apply and that's it? I wanna try this for my pre-wash treatments / dry hair treatments...

 

[sevetlana]

I know right, I think maybe I was too brave, but my hair felt soft. I will not be doing that again for sure. It is a good thing my hair is reasonably healthy ( thanks to this challenge) it can take a mistake or two.
