DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

[sevetlana]

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...

Well I warmed my oil, warm to touch. I gave my mixture about about 3 ten second bursts in the microwave, I also put it in a wide bowl, to reduce the chances of spillage. HTH

...WOW! How much conditioner you have up in your house, girl? . Wish I lived near you. I'd love to sneak a peek at all those goodies , .

LOL! Thanks, Muffin! Here's what I have for conditioners:

*Aveda Sap Moss Detangling Conditioner
*Tresemme Natural Conditioner
*Keracare Humecto Conditioner
*Hairveda Moist 24/7 Conditioner
*I also use Aphogee 2-minute Keratin Reconstructor for DC.
*Lastly, I use CHI Silk Infusion after my DC's. I know that most relaxed heads use this too, but I find that the amino acids work wonders for my hair.

That's it. I just copy and paste my DC's when I'm done to keep a log. I like to go back and see what I used and liked. At first I was trying a lot of different things, trying to see what my hair liked. Found out she ljust ikes a routine.

I'm not going to buy anything else this year until I run out of ALL the conditioner I currently have. Gotta be smart with my duckets...

Okay ladies, I finally took down that sew-in I had and did my hair today. I clarified with Mizani Puriphyl shampoo, followed by GPB shampoo and CON red label moisturizing poo - my hair was really dirty ladies, urghhh!

I then used some GPB protein conditioner for 2 minutes, followed by MT for 5 minutes, then some Ion Solutions Reconstructor for 10 minutes. Now I am sitting under my dryer DCing with AO HSR for 1.5 hours. Don't know what my hair will feel like yet so I'll update later.

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...

I don't do hot oil treatments so I couldn't answer this one Jaxhair, but I do pre-poo with oils. There was this one time I heated some oil in the microwave bearable enough and put it on my hair and scalp, left it on for a few minutes and my hair did feel pretty soft but I did this again as a pre-poo. I liked it then and might very well do that again sometime during this relaxer stretch to see if my hair will respond the same way. By the way, the oil I used was EVOO.

 

[SCarolinaGirl]

Yesterday I prepoo'd for 3 hours with coconut oil and lustrasilk shea butter cholesteral. Then I washed with my aphogee poo and used the 2 min reconstructor. Then I DC'd for 2 hours with silk elements megasilk olive. My hair is extremely soft, I'm lovin this challenge!

3 days ago did henna hair rinse:

1 tbsp Henna
2 tbsp honey
6 oz h2O ( boiled water then let it cool)
olive oil/coconut oil forgot how much

Shook it up and let sit on my hair 2 hours. Results Hair soft as silk.

 

[sky035]

DCed today for 2 hrs using L'Oreal's Nature's Therapy . Detangled beforehand using olive oil. Used a shower cap while I did chores.

 

[SCarolinaGirl]

I cowashed last night with HE hello hydration. I think this will become my cowashing staple. I guess I will rotate the HE, Aussie Moist, and Suave coconut for cowashes.

 

[Shay72]

Okay I finally REALLY realized I am a pj so imma start mixing some products. Right now I am under the dryer with a Yes to Carrots & Patene Relaxed & Natural Breakage Defense Mask mix. One hr with heat and one hour without heat.

 

[Jaxhair]

Well I warmed my oil, warm to touch. I gave my mixture about about 3 ten second bursts in the microwave, I also put it in a wide bowl, to reduce the chances of spillage. HTH

Thanks. I'll be trying this in 2 days time when I DC again.

Yup, I intend to use as a pre-poo/pre-wash too. I just thought, I use oil to do this anyway, so why not 'hot' oil it? I want all benefits there are to be gained, lol!

Ooooh! Gotta try this too! Sounds like the kind of henna trx I could use when braided/twisted up..... If I make a tea out of the henna though - no leaves and twigs, lol!

 

[kriolagirl]

DC'd last night (with heat) with Curls Hair Tea Conditioner. Not in love with it so I can't wait to use it up so I can get back to my old faithful ORS Replenishing conditioner.

 

[MzWill]

dc'd tonite (3hrs no heat) w/jason sea kelp, suave coconut, honeyquat & castor oil mix. hair is soooo soft! dd is flexi-rodding my hair as i type this.

 

[*Muffin*]

Used AO GPB as a DC yesterday mixed with honey and jojoba oil. I DC'd for 30 minutes with heat.

 

[wheezy807]

I'm gonna deep condition tomorrow! Yay!

 

[SCarolinaGirl]

I DC'd last night with silk elements then cowashed with HE hello hydration. Still bunning.

 

[morehairplease]

Deep conditioned overnight and getting ready to poo now.

 

[sevetlana]

I did my DC on Monday, my hair is back to normal.

 

[HairHustla]

Hi All,

I missed posting last week but I still kept up with my DC. I have found that DC'ing with oils really makes a difference so I will continue that. Ok, just keeping up with my hair's homework assignments!!

 

[Aggie]

This morning I did a 5 minute co wash treatment with my Nioxin Intensive Therapy Weightless Reconstructive Masque followed by a cowash of Suave Humectant. I think I need to use some porosity control because my hair is feeling a little unsmooth...I will be 9 weeks post my last relaxer tomorrow and have quite a bit of new growth.

 

[GoldenBreeze]

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...

I usually put the oil in a hot water bath while I'm applying it, then put a plastic cap on and use my heating cap for about 20 - 30 minutes.

 

[GoldenBreeze]

I'm dc'ing now with Terax Crema without heat. I love this stuff! I'll leave it on until I take my evening shower before bed.

 

[wheezy807]

Deep conditioned tonight with a SE Moisturizing Treatment pack. It was heavenly.

 

[Chameleonchick]

DCing with SE Olive Oil right now.

 

[Aggie]

Okay, this morning I did an experiment. I put 3/4oz each of aloe oil, shikakai oil and JBCO in a color applicator bottle and heated it up for 30 seconds in the microwave, then squeezed it through my scalp and over my hair. I scritched my scalp for 3 minutes and put on a plastic cap.

I then mixed 3 TBS each of brahmi and kalpi tone powders with 5 TBS of Miss Key 10 in 1 conditioner, 2 oz shikakai oil and a little hot distilled water and mixed into a very thick paste. After mixing I added it to my pre-oiled hair and scalp and let sit for 2 hours, 1 hour was under the dryer, 1 without.

I proceeded to wash it out under the shower and I kid you not, that mixture was so so soft even as it was washing out. I almost didn't need to cowash it out, but I did anyway with some v05 Free Me Freesia. My hair is still extremely soft from the paste. Now bare in mind, I am 9 weeks post my last relaxer and was a little hesitant at first to use the paste, but I am so glad I did this now. I truly believe it was because I pre-heated the oil before adding to my hair and added more heat under the dryer. Hope this helps some relaxer stretchers.

I am now sitting with a protein mixture of US Duo Tek, Mizani Fulfyl, and Elucence Extended Moisture Repair for 30 minutes and will follow up with a moisturizing Dc mixture of Pantene R&N hair Mask, Biolage Conditioning Balm and heated castor and grapeseed oil.
