DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

[Aggie]

Okay...this is how I felt...

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.

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

I'm pleased

Girl Mona, your whole hair experience sounds delish...I did a henna treatment this morning too and I think I might be needing one of those naps myself.

MEGA DEEP CONDITIONING

My mega DC started with me pre-pooing with amla oil and shae butter. I sampooed with shikakia bar followed by treatment of yogurt and ayurvedic powders for 2 hours. This was followed by a deep overnight condition with Aveda damage remedy mask I followed with roux porosity control and this was followed by silk elements luxury moisturisiong conditioner for 5 minutes. All this was followed by matrix biolage leave in forstifying treatment and sealed with shae butter. My hair feels strong but soft. No tangles, more slip and more defined curls even though there is no curl definition product on my hair at the moment

Checking in. Have been keeping up with my deep conditioning, since I now have the braids out of my hair I have been deep conditioning every other day, with and with out heat for an hour. Now I just need to take some pics to see if my hair has had any progress so far.

Checking in...
Wednesday I DC'd on dry hair with shescentit avocado conditioner, evoo, honey and avocado oil. I think I prefer DC'ing on dry hair..my hair feels better...much softer.
Today I will be DC'ing w/ Yes To Carrots moisturizing mask...I ran out of the shescentit. I'm going to add all the same things to it and do a comparison.

Okay anybody???

Sorry sweetie, no, but I really like CB Smoothie 6-n-1 Reconstructor Creme. Even though it's a protein conditioner, it goes on smooth and feels creamy and moist at the same time. My hair always feels strong/soft after using it, it's hard to describe. I'm natural, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on a relaxed head also. If you try it, let us know how it goes. I'm curious to know if relaxed heads will enjoy it as much as I do.


----------------------------------

I dc'ed overnight last night with a combo of Nacidic Aloe Vera, ORS Rep. pk, and 2 tbsp of EVOO. Rinsed out this morning, and I'm good to go until Tues. or Wed.

Well Ladies, I up and got a sew in (on a whim). I just really wanted to protect my hair. Its my first full head sew in ever (meaning all my hair is hidden away). Unless y'all can tell me how I can go about DC ing with this thing on my head I guess I'll be on a hiatus too. :-(
I moisten my scalp every night with leave in, I oil as needed, and I moisturize my hairline 2ce a day. But the DCing I haven't figured out. I have a net on over the braids so getting conditioner to my to my scalp seems impossible. Any tips?

Thanks so much for responding GB. I really want the Essations hair mender and I have never heard of CB smoothie. Where can I find that on-line?

Oooh LB, I have to admit, when I had in my sew-in, it was tough for me too. My scalp just never felt clean at all because I could never really get to it. For this reason, I hate sew-ins. I prefer braids. If I wasn't in love with deep conditioning my hair, they would be a breeze for me, but they are simply not practical with the regimen I have. Cornrows and braids for me honey. Sorry I couldn't help any more than this however, I think the crown & glory website (www.growafrohairlong.com) has a regimen for weaves. You could maybe check it out and see if it will work for you, okay?

I am DC'ing tonight with NTM Deep Recovery Mask. This is my first time using it. Does any one have ingredients they mix with it? How do you like the results?

I've used it from time to time, and the results are okay. I've gotten better results with other products that last longer. IDK, at $6 - $7 a jar, I expect better results. Also, I have to use almost the entire jar. I've used it straight from the jar, and with added oils. It does work slightly better with oils, but my purpose was to try to get 2 uses out of one jar. Relaxed ladies seem to get more bang for the buck from this one.

 

[chebaby]

I have been deep conditioning twice a week since January, however I am now in Kinky twists so I will not be posting as often. I hope to deep condition sometime next week. I think that I will use a lightweight conditioner such as Bed Head-Moisture Maniac.
