DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

Today I deep conditioned on dry hair with Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner for 30 min with heat. I shampooed my hair and added a hot oil treatment(sunflower seed, grapeseed and avocado oils) for 20 min. I rinsed that out and added my moisture mixture which consisted of CURLS Ecstacy deep conditioner and Kenra Moisturizing conditioner.
 
Just checking in briefly - had a minor setback last week due to "color experimentation" lol
As a result am working in a regimen of custom blend mizani hydrafuse/kerafuse. I will be dc'ing this weekend and will post in more detail including regimen and hopefully pics
 
Yesterday I dc'd with heat 1 hour and left the condish in overnight with a plastic cap. It was the condish that is Step 2 of Hairveda's Methi Recovery System.
 
Today I did a prepoo with Mirthe's Oil Shampoo for 30 minutes. After shampooing with my Emu oil shampoo I deep conditioned. Sat under the heat cap with John Frieda Relax intensive reconstuctor-(discontinued). I am going through my stash of stuff:)

You and me both. I am looking for reasons to use them up now:yep:.
 
I think I'm going to henna my hair tomorrow. I haven't done one in a while so it's time. I am 9 weeks post and freaking out because of it but I need a henna treatment....BAD:grin:!!!

I've never used henna (color) -- before (just cassia, colorless) but Lav was on me for the longest to try it...so I shall tomorrow :yep:. Will mix up tonight for use tomorrow. 14 weeks post checking in.

Will do the usual weekly overnight conditioning routine...
keepin it simple..

I only have the regular henna...no cassia...and I think I won't be using it for color tomorrow, just conditioning. This simply mean I won't be keeping it in too long, about 1.5 hours maybe, no more. I just need the strengthening power of henna right now.

gotcha. have a good conditioning session...:yep:
 
ok I just finied dc'ing with mizani renew strength - shampoo hair masque and the capsule. I did a final rinse with roux PC and my hair was very soft and had lots of "slip" I am air drying right now.
There's a thread around here where someone mentioned renew strength as being real "perfumey" and I definitely agree its got this real sweet(ey) smell to it that takes getting used to.
 
DC'ing right now with an aubrey cocktail

white camellia, gpb, honeysuckle rose, lustrasilk shea&mango and some avocado oil.

we'll see how this goes.
 
ooooohhhh

i cant wait until my hair dries

just rinsed my DC
my hair feels phenomenal
really soft.

i'm holding hope that it will feel really good dry, too.

what i did differently? (other than the crazy conditioner mix lol)...i did an ACV rinse before i DC'ed. SNAP!

i did ACV a few years ago when i first became natural...but i remember not being impressed by it...dont remember quite how i used it back then, though.

put some lustrasilk shea&mango as a leave in
and sealed with avocado butter

...((deep breath)) please be good to me?
 
I DC's last night with lustrasilk shea butter and coconut oil. I am seriously thinking about flat ironing my hair today but I'm trying to stay away from direct heat. I haven't done it since my relaxer in mid-Feb. What do you think?
 
I will be on hiatus for a while as I focus on my studies..happy hair growing!!

Thanks you for letting us know you will be on hiatus Lisa. I will keep you in the challenge if you'd like to remain in it and put a note on the side of your name on the front page as a reminder to me.


Good luck with your studies - they come first and do good. See you when you return.

You've done great so far future. There are some that flat iron once a week so once a month isn't all that bad.
 
I dc'd using the home steam treatment method. I had a mix of sitrinillah, r&n breakage defense, and ayurvedic powders on my hair. My hair loved it but not my head. I got a headache and was feeling a little light headed. I think I will wait and steam once I buy a steamer.
 
I have a henna treatment sitting on my hair right now and will be DCing with Mizani Moisturefuse mixed with AO HSR, AO GPB and a little CON Conditioning Reconstructor. My hair is way too porous after a henna treatment and I know this is unheard of after a henna treatment but I am trying to add a little protein to my DC this time to see how my hair will like it. I will also be finishing it all off with a quick rinse of porosity control conditioner. Stay tuned...


I need to look for Essations Instant Hair Mender. I have been hearing good things about it. Anyone else hear about this protein treatment?
 
How funny, I took out my stash of henna today and decided to give myself a henna treatment. On Thursday I gave myself an overnight treatment of Ojon and Mega-Tek.

As I contemplated what to do next , because I also needed to touch up my greys at my hairline, I thought about my henna.

That's one of the drawbacks of being a PJ sometimes you forget what you have. :spinning:

So this morning I mixed up my henna and shikakai and tomorrow I will apply the henna with indigo and sit with that for no less than 4 hours and then co-wash and in the next couple of days I'll DC.
 
You know I will. I can't wait until it's all done:yep:.


Okay...this is how I felt...:yep:

I did the usual overnight conditioning with oil...

rinsed this morning, applied the henna -- I think it wound up being on for three hrs...and that color took...I could see the change...
did a shikakai/amla/aritha wash..

then followed up with the indigo [glad I read about the salt tip - think that made a difference - cause the color definitely took]

Rinsed and now I have SitriNillah and Moist 24/7 on my head for some follow up moisturizing conditioning and I'll rinse that out soon after my nap.:look:

It's been a full hair morning...but it actually wasn't that bad.

I'm pleased :yep:
 
I conditioner on dry hair with a mix of emergencee and humectress. I was not impressed with my hair. It seemed like I lost more hair than usual. My hair was not strong like the norm. I think the humectess was a little much. That was yesterday. Today I put the emergencee on dry hair and rinsed detangled with trader joe nourish spa. That did the trick. I'm going to use my emergencee full strength. I'm happy now.
