DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

[morehairplease]

deep conditioning now with my Lanza conditioner mix(healing strength, moisture, and ultimate treatment), power boosters in strength and moisture, and oils. I plan on deep conditioning overnight.

 

[ChemistryGirl]

DC'ed on dry hair overnight with AO Island Naturals, cowashed today with ABBA pure moisture, then used Roux PC for 5 mins. This is my second time dc'ing on dry hair and using PC and I think I like it. For the past week my hair has been feeling pretty moisturized and I think it's the combo of Roux PC and my new Aloe vera/glycerin/water mix sealed with castor oil. I'm thinking of joining the PC challenge, I'll have to use it a few more times b4 I decide though.

I saw your other posts about the protein filler but can you tell me more? Is it considered a light, medium, or hard protein? I'm guessing you can add it to any conditioner? Where did you get it? TIA.

I bought it at Sally's. I can't say for sure, but I am assuming its light. From what I've read it can be added to anything, or used straight. Its kinda like using liquid SAA.

I really hate being off my schedule but being a baseball mom is killing me. Normally I would do this on Tuesday nights. I dc-ed with am mixture of Ion Reconstructor, Generic Humectress, and Redken Heavy Cream. I don't know what it is about protein but my hair will not thrive without it.erplexed I'm greatful that my hair is acting right. One of these days I might post some pics, but don't hold your breathe. BTW: I am a full NL some folks may call it CBL.

Did a bentonite clay/okra mucilage treatment Monday and DC'd with AOHSR today for 30 minutes with heat. For some reason my hair was feeling very rough and dry this week and last week, and I strongly suspect it's because my ayurvedic powders have a protein affect, and the leave-in I was using contained protein. I switched my leave-in to one that has no protein, and my hair feels better.

Okay ladies I had a major trim today - 4 whopping inches, YAY! I wanted it shorter but my stylist insisted that I leave enough hair on my head just in case I want to put it in a bun. I think she was right. I do have enough hair left to put it in a teeny weeny bun, lol.

I am back to shoulder length - here it is:

Hey, Aggie! Your hair looks like it has gotten thicker. Great job! I'm surprised you cut it though.

I haven't been posting in this thread like I should but I continue to DC 2-3times a week. I've been using ORS Replenishing Condish or Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol Condish.

WOW! Looks so shiny and healthy . I recently had a good trim, as well. I'm hitting just at APL now, but I love the blunt, even look and my ends appear so much healthier, just like yours do. Never will I neglect trims again. I'll get a trim every 4 months when I relax.

 

[Aggie]

Aggie, I just want to say: Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I have been searching for information about conditioners and which ones contain protein, moisture or both. This helps so much. Because too much of one or the other and a girl's hair growth dreams can be shattered.

Can you share some information about shampoos as well? TIA

Hi jumpingjax1906, welcome to the challenge honey. As far as shampoos go, be sure to look for words on the bottle that says strengthens, fortifies, rebuilds, restructurizes, and look for proteins in the ingredients list but bare in mind most or all them have some kind of protein in them.

Some proteins are moisturizing like hydrolyzed wheat protein, hydrolyzed collagen, silk amino acids, etc. If you see keratins, vegetable or animal proteins, these are stronger and would be considered protein shampoos, especially if the protein is high up in the ingredients list. This is only a little help though. I would recommend reading up on Sistaslick's hair articles on www.associatedcontent.com. Her real name is Audrey Sivasothy but if you put eithe rname in the search field, her articles should come up. They are hugely informative and are very helpful to me on this hair journey.

 

[Aggie]

I probably should have done a search or asked you ladies before doing this but here goes. After doing an ayurvedic tea rinse and cowashing with AM I mixed up somethings for my DC, first let me say, I never use protein...so I started thinking let me try an egg...so I mixed:
Kera Care Dry Itchy Scalp Moisturizing Conditioner
100 % aloe vera juice
jojoba oil
1 egg
Honey
DC'ing for about 45 mins....should I be afraid

Mrs R, just remember, the aloe vera juice acts as a protein as well. Good luck.

Shay, I saw this in Sally's when I was in Nebraska in March.

Looks good Aggie!! Thick & healthy.

Thanks FL, but I still have a long way to go still. I can't wait to have a full head of texlaxed hair. So far I only have about 3 inches.

 

[Aggie]

Hey, Aggie! Your hair looks like it has gotten thicker. Great job! I'm surprised you cut it though.

Thanks Platinum. I'm surprised I gathered up the nerves to cut it too, but I have no regrets because I am loving the thickness. I am newly texlaxed, so I am trying to slowly trim off all the bone straight hair.

 

[Aggie]

Thanks Muffin. The bolded is about right for me too. I trimmed in January and now again in May, next one is due in September although I am not relaxing for about a year or so. I want to stretch for as long as my hair would let me. At 17 weeks post, I am still doing very very well with honey and olive oil, epsom salt and conditioner mixes, acv rinses, beer rinses, and of course, deep conditioning.

Aggie the cut looks really good. I think leaving it longer was a good choice so that you could put it up and get your hair off your neck and it still look good. Congrats on your transition.

I can't wait to see your results. I was thinking of doing a mild relaxer the next time I touchup instead of regular, to add some thickness to my hair. I don't want to waste product. what do you think of leaving the regular on half the amout of time?

For fine hair, mild relaxers are best suited but I think the regular left on half time and some oil added to it would work well for your fine hair. Add about 3 tablespoons to it and still cutback the time to half.

Actually I don't have fine strands, their normal. I don't necessarily want texlaxed hair. Just not bone. If that makes sense. Lol, don't quote me on this because I might decide I want bone back. We'll see what happens.

 

[tiffers]

On Monday I clarified with Aloe Rid and dc'd for 45 mins under the dryer with ICON Inner Moisture At-Home Mask

In that case, half time, no oil needed to get a more textured result. Good luck with it honey.
