DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

Dcing right now. I did an hour with the heat cap and the home steam method. Now I've just been lying around with a turbie twist, plastic cap, and condish on my head. Will rinse out in a few hours. Oh yeah it's a mix of Yes to Carrots Mud Mask and ayurvedic powders.
 
did an overnight deep condition with curl junkie hibiscus and banana deep fix last night and awoke with amazingly soft hair.
 
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!
 
DC'd Monday with AOGPB conditioner mixed w/honey for 30 minutes with heat. Today I DC'd with AOHSR mixed w/honey for 30 minutes with heat.
 
tonight im doing another overnight deep conditioning treatment with curl junkie's hibiscus and banan deep fix. first im going to mist my hair with ojon revitalizing mist first, then slather this on and sleep with it. i love this stuff and just know that tomorrow my hair will be so freaking soft and moistuirzed.
 
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!

Sure you can Cream Tee. I'll add you in now and welcome to the challenge.
 
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:yep:.

Thanks girl - nope, not wearing anything to cover it at all, leaving it as a leave in. Must say though, it leaves my hair so soft and so slippery!

Anyway, I DC proper overnight on Wednesday with a mixture of MT and AOHSR and ayurveda oil on dry hair, covered in plastic. Rinsed out in the morning, co-washed and again applied AO HSR condish as a leave in, sealed with whipped shea, avocado and mango butter and went off to work - hair super soft and moisturised! I'm loving using AO HSR as a leave in condish. My hair seems to LOVE it!
 
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.

Thanks. I'll do some research - I really need a heat something for DCing!

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 :grin:.

Thanks Muffin. I do do proper DCs and rinse off immediately, but I'm back to work Mon-Fri now and work early or late shifts, which means it's either too early a start to do all this or too late a finish - and as it was my first week back, I got a shock to the system and was sooo tired! This was a way I thought to get the fab product on my hair so it does something rather than not doing anything. It worked - my hair feels amazing, so I'll keep doing it and slip in a proper DC at least once or twice a week, like I've managed to this week. Oh, and I also DC on unwashed/dry hair with great success - like you say, it saves time - and water, lol. If you're like me and co-wash nearly daily then your hair and scalp don't get a chance to get dirty - I'd say it's okay. I've not had issues with build up either - I do a clarifying wash at least once a month - that keeps on top of things.
 
Pic of yesterday's DC, rollerset and wrap. Not the best finish, but it's getting there. I guess this can act as my starting pic for this challenge. :)

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 :drunk:
 
Update.
I've been keeping up with my DCs. I DC'ed last night with AO HSR and some oils. I did an Aphogee 2-step treatment on Tuesday and DC'ed with Olive Oil and Keracare Humecto (I am soooo over this conditioner it does nothing for my hair and I have the 5lb tub *sigh*).
 
Deep treated on dry hair overnight with MT and ayurveda oil under a plastic bag and a rubber swim cap. Will wash when I'm done here with HE+Pantene infused with henna, then I'll DC with AO HSR with ayurveda oil for a few hours - think I might just wear a wrap today.

Found my old swimming cap - this thing is fab for wearing whilst DCing! Just wondering if all the oils will make the rubber disintegrate fast though...
 
Hi Ladies,

I am still in kinky twists. Yesterday I dc'd with Garnier Fructis Moisture Works conditioner mixed with olive oil and honey. I like this conditoner.
 
Today I'm trying Shescentit Banana Brulee Moisturizing Cond for the first time..I think I'm gonna add my usual oils and honey and see how that works...

On wednesday I tried another new DC by BioInfusion, it's their Olive Oil Deep Conditiong Treatment... not sure if I like this one so much, my hair didn't feel as soft as some other products I've tried. I'm gonna use up the jar though, but probably won't be buying it again.
