great progress in your siggy..but it says 2009 in both set of pics...is that right?Since I'm trying to avoid reversion, I have not DC'd or cowashed since my relaxer on Sinday. I plan to DC on Friday and I can't wait!

Can I join?
I've been consistently deep conditioning twice a week using steam for the last three months and my hair is really thriving!
I just finished a DC treatment using Joico Moisture with a small amount of unrefined shea butter. I'm now just about to finish under the dryer. My hair feels so moisturised!
I'd say it qualifies as a deep conditioner IF you are wearing a plastic cap over it and under a wig or something like that. I have done that many times myself.
I like the Mastex heat cap. I've had mine for at least 10 years, and have had no problems with it. Previous to this challenge, I used it once a week. Now, of course, I'm using it even more.
IMO, you can. A lot of women DC without heat and rinse it the next morning, and the AOHSR's instructions for use as a DC don't require the use of heat. The only thing you're doing differently is not rinsing it out immediately. If you wanted on somedays when you apply it as a leave-in you could wrap a hot towel around your head and leave it on for around a half hour so the conditioner can penetrate better, but I don't think that's necessarily required.
P.S. I had to re-evaluate my DC'ing routine to save time, too. Now I'm DC'ing on unwashed hair that I dampen slightly. Then I rinse-out/co-wash with the DC that's in my hair and do an ACV rinse afterward. That way I don't have to get in and out of the shower twice. I figure since I co-wash 3 days a week that my hair shouldn't get too dirty in that time period, so there's no real need for me to co-wash before hand. Plus I'll be saving water and conditioner .
Got Amla on my hair right now and I'm watching Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo. In an hour I wil wash it out and do a deep treatment. I'm going to melt some mango, almond and avocado butter and put it in my conditioner, leave it in my hair for a few hours. I'll leave my hair curly for the night and rollerset tomorrow night.
Hey BM, your avi pic is very nice. Your hair is really coming along beautifully.
Thank you for noticing! I've been consistently adding more ayurveda powders to my regimen for the past 2 months and I can see a huge difference in my hair
