DC'd on Monday 05/11/09 after taking out my cornrows! I used J/A/S/O/N / Vit AEC conditioner, sat under heating cap 20mins. Once again, I'm experiencing a lot of shedding. Even when I don't have braids, my hair sheds like CRAZY!

Maybe it's time to try some garlic treatments - see the recipe in my fotki.

Joico Kpak reconstructor followed by KPak Intense hydrator left my hair hard and tangly. :wallbash: I am over proteinated again!!! :wallbash:
In an attempt to recover I hit my hair with some Porosity Control, and then a modified Kiya Fizzle. I use Motions After Shampoo Moisture plus condish mixed with a generous helping of table salt. That knocked my tangles right out. My hair was still hard though. *sigh* My next ten DCs will me moisture only. The sad thing is my hair was getting mushy. I know I needed the protein. I guess I just have to find a gentler way to deliver it.

Suggestions?

I agree with tiffers about the AO GPB conditioner. It really is awesome but as far as your next 10 DCs being moisture only, I probably wouldn't do that but I would baggy my hair for a few nights with some water-based moisturizer sealed with an oil for a few nights until the moisture level normalizes. OR you could try DCing overnight once with AO HSR conditioner. That usually helps me tremendously without going from one extreme to another too often, ya kow?

Aww hun I was just kidding about the ten part. LoL! Last time it took me about 5 to get back to normal. But I was experimenting with different conditioners, and I didn't realize some of them were mild protein. If for some reason I cannot find the AO GPB I'll use the Banana Brulee that just arrived in the mail. If all else fails I'll go back to SitriNillah, which is how I got over moisturized in the first place.

Shampood with Kenra Platinum Shampoo for Fine Hair

Conditioned for 10 mins with Tigi Dumb Blonde Reconstructor

Under the dryer now with Lanza Healing Moisture Moi Moi Mask. I'll be under for an hour and the condition for 5 mins with Porosity Control :)
 
Today I oil with Navratna oil, washed with the Swastik Shikakai bar for the first time. I have to admit I was terrified of having a hard matted mess. To my surprise my hair came out soft strong and a bit coated, I'm dcing now with AM, TJ Nourish spa, Suave Humectant for slip, Nettle, Amla, Bhrami, & Bhringraj.
 
well i wasnt planning on it but i do need to deep condition this week. and since i shampoo'd this morning, granted with a shampoo bar, im going to deep condition overnight tonight with a mix of kbb deep conditioner and jane carter deep conditioner.
 
I dc'd on Monday with Roots of Nature Shea Butter Green Tea Reconstructor. I used a plastic cap without heat for an hour and got under the steamer for an hour w/o the cap. I mixed the reconstructor with ayurvedic powders. I like that it is thick but I used about half the jar for one applicaton.

I dc'd overnight with a mix of Patene R&N, Alter Ego Garlic, aloe vera,and ayurvedic powders. One hour with plastic cap and heat and one hour with plastic cap and no heat.
 
Hello Ladies...new to LHCF and I am so anxious to see my end results but I know that patience is a virtue, so just looking forward to the journey. Thnx in advance for all the inspiration and much needed encouragement. I see soooo many suprrr delicious hair it's not even funny. Soooo excited...let the fellow hairship begin. :grouphug:
 
Tonight I deep conditioned with TIGI beadhead-Dumb Blonde. I used it with heat for 30 minutes. I love it so much!!! I followed up with Pantenes Natures Fusion-very good. I am really loving Pantene products right now.

Welcome again eocceas:yep:.
 
Hi again, I am a newbie to the site but I have been caring for my hair now for 2 mos. now. Whereas before that I had not even touched my hair, until I went back to the salon...maybe 1 or 2 wks, crazy now knowing what I know. But quite honestly, it was this site that inspired me to pick up my very first shampoo:-). So I along with my hair are thankful to all the woman on here who are so gracious enough take the time to share. So here is my first routine post yay...

I dc 3x a week with every wash/cowash
massage nightly with Bringaraj oil
pre-poo b4 everywash with oils
co wash w/Suave mixed with 1 egg, EVOO or coconut oil, Brahmi and Amla powder
dc w/Lekair Cholestorol
leave-in Giovanni mix w/Bringaraj and fenugreek
moisurize then seal and baggy.

BTW I have incorporated Ayurvedic powders and oils for 3wks and have seen an instant hange in my hair...I love it. more volume, strentgh, manageability and shine.
I will actually be doing my first Henna tomorrow with Karishma...wish me luck. Will def post results.
 
Just checking in. Have been keeping up with my deep conditioner, doing 3x a week. It has been 20 weeks since my last relaxer so am in the process of testing new hair products to find the right on for my hair. My roots are so thick now, thinking of putting in so braids next month to give my poor hands a rest.
 
I clarified and conditioned my hair for 15 minutes with MT (for additional strength) and AO HSR, Now I am henna'ing my hair for 2 hours followed with indigo on my hairline mostly for another 2 hours. (I will use some porosity control conditioner on my hair today as well). I will then DC with CON Ultra Nourishing Conditioner mixed with a little AO HSR for 3 hours, possibly overnight.
 
I have literally traveled all up through NYC today with this conditioner on my head....I know the body heat must've given me a bootleg steam treatment...

fittin to finally rinse out and try out this KBB Hair Milk for my air dry.

*it was a good day*
 
The henna went really well! My hair is so soft :) And the indigo really took this time! I concentrated on applying it to the scalp..but the only bad thing was that I ran out of the indigo. I used 2 boxes! My guess is that I didn't use enough water to make the paste.

Myronnie, your hair is wayyyy longer than mine and I use up 2 boxes of indigo for my APL length hair so I know 2 boxes are not enough for yours. Try 2.5 boxes next time and see if it will be enough then.
 
Shampood with Kenra Platinum Shampoo for Fine/Thin Hair

Dc'ing right now with Paul Brown Hapuna Thermal Ash Masque. I'll be under the dryer for an hour

This is my first time using this masque, so hopefully I'll like the results after rinsing. IDK about it right now, though. It feels like clay that's a little dried out. It heated up apon massaging it into my head :shocked: and after a few seconds, my hair was no longer wet. It's like the masque sucked in all of the water! My hair feels all stiff, like I slapped a bunch of mud on it and let it airdry. It's just dry and stiff :perplexed

But I haven't rinsed it out yet, so we shall see....
 
Pre poo'd overnight, under a cap, with BT on my scalp, Hairveda Whipped Ends Hydration and Dabur Amla Gold on my hair.
I am going to experiment with neutral protein filler in my DC today.

ETA: The protein filler (1 oz) mixed quite nicely with my Kenra (a good sized dollop, 3 oz?). I sat with a cap on and got my heat from one of those microwaveable body wraps, which I wrapped around my head. I sat this way for 30 mins. My hair combed out without me losing a single hair. It seemed strong and soft. I skipped my usual Porosity Control finish because protein filler claims to equalize porosity already. My hair felt great so there was no need for the extra step.

Although I've been bad about posting regularly, I am doing the work. Still DC'ing 2X per week. My last was Thursday with Aphogee 2 min followed by the Morrocan Oil mask. I was originally undecided about this one, but now I know it is not my favorite for moisture. When I finish it up, I won't buy more. I get better results with my two staples, Davines Nounou and PhytoKarite. Will post photos again once I figure out what is wrong with the card reader on my computer.

Alright, here it is the next day. While rinsing, it took some extra effort to get all of the Masque out of my hair but once I did my hair was very soft. It also felt strong. Since there are no cones or "bad stuff" in this masque, I know that the softness came from real moisture and not an illusion. I love that it has such a high concentration of volcanic ash.

After I rollerset, I was highly disappointed because my hair felt as if it were covered in wax or something. It was weird :perplexed. I wrapped it and expeced a HAM this morning. Combed the wrap down a few minutes and my hair is very soft, no more weird coated feeling
