DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

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

Love the new cut Aggie....

My hair actually turned out great. It felt strong to the touch and still moisturized. But because I rarely use protein I baggied for the first time today using HS 14n1 and EVCO, and I'm glad I did since you made the point about the aloe vera juice (thanks had no idea it behaves as a protein). I'll probably do a straight moisture DC overnight tomorrow night.

Would some of you ladies be kind enough to post some RESULTS of doing this? I understand what you are doing, but what is it doing for your hair? I have asked on several occasions but the thread just keeps rolling along. Thanks. bonjour
 
Tonight I deep conditioned with Redken Extreme and followed up with Kenra's Moisturizing Conditioner mixed with Olive Oil and Honey.

I am 4a/b with fine strands. My hair and scalp are more moisturized. My grass breaks less and although it's very soft, it's pretty strong. My shedding is below average and over all I'm pretty happy with my it.

My favorite cons are HE's LTR, Lustrasilk shea butter con mixed with honey and molasses (my DC), and WEN. These three are my absolute faves so far. I finish with rosewater/glycerine mix and coconut oil. I've tried a few pricier things but these work best for me.
 
I DC'd last night...pre-poo with Victoria's Secret So Sexy Moisturizing Condish (smells so nice), and then I did an Aphogee 2-step with Keracare Humecto after.
 
Likes da cut Aggie :yep:

I may be joining you....just waiting to see how my middle section does over the summer then I'm going to go ahead and cut the left and right sides if hasn't caught up to the progress of those sides.

I told my cousin it seems like I've been bit by bit, trimming away the fully relaxed hair and easing into the texturized hair...I like the texturized hair much better.

I don't think I ever should've been using even a regular relaxer all these years :(

I'm going to be in a steam room tomorrow during my spa outing, still debating if I will get in a bootleg steam treatment then. Will definitely get my overnight dc in tmrw though when I get back in..

First of all I am addicted to dcing and condishes so this is a great challenge for me. I alternate moisture and protein dc. My hair is always moisturized and really, really strong. I dc 2x/wk. 1x/wk with heat and 1x/wk with steam. I mix ayurvedic powders in my dc also. My hair looks shinier (is that a word?) too.
 
I dced over night. I did it with heat then I went to bed was to tired to wash it out. Gonna do that now and blow out my hair.
 
Dcing right now with CD's Black Hair Smoothie mixed with ayurvedic herbs. Got plastic cap on for about 2 hours. Will take the cap off use steamer for about 1 hr.

Thanks a lot for the support Mrs R and Mona.
 
deep conditioned today on dry hair for 3 hours with and without heat with kbb LL hair mask.
then i co washed with a mix of AO GPB and trader joes nourish spa.
 
As I always say I stray for a while but always end up going right back to my ole faithful.. I'm DC'ing right now with my beloved Kera Care Humecto.
 
dc'd last night with ORS Mayo on dry hair overnight. Washout this morning with Design Essentials moisturizing poo and put yes to carrots on my hair for 30 minutes while I got the baby ready. By the time I stepped back in the shower to to wash out Y2C, my hair was so soft and no tangles! I just used the shower water - no Mecbo comb! Y2C is some seriously moiturizing conditioner, I'm going to use it at least once a week for a nice treat. I did my WnG and sealed with a few drops of Sabino. My hair was light, blingin' and so soft today. I got lots of compliments at work today.

tiffers, how did this work for you? tia, tishee
It was really good, I enjoyed it. It softened my hair right up when I applied it, I figured it was the argan oil going to work :grin:

It has fab ingredients too, pretty much nothing but oils and cetyl alcohol. No cones or anything. My hair was very moisturized after rinsing. Not very much slip though, but I wasn't expecting slip, just moisture :)

I think I'll get the shampoo as well. If they have a leave-in, I'll probably get that too. It's good stuff!
 
I haven't checked in for 2 wks, but I've been DC'ing twice a week. All is going well. I dc'ed last night with ORS Repln for an hour. My next DC will be on Monday. Have a great weekend, and happy Memorial Day ladies. :)
 
Pre Pooed with Patience Hair Growth Oil and a little Beemine on my edges.

Washing my hair one lather.

Doing a protein treatment Apoghee.
Then restore with Balance moisturizer from Apoghee.

Then do a braid out for church Sunday.
 
Prepooed with Navratna oil, pooed with Shikakai bar, dcing with ORS, AM,Suave Humectant, Amla, Bhrami,Bhringraj, Nettle. I will airdry & seal with Cantu leave in and Vatika.
 
On Wednesday I DC'd with shescentit Olive & Orange conditioner. I used the sample and I really liked it! So this one will be another keeper.

I'll be DC'ing tomorrow and will be using my other shescentit sample, super soft honey conditioning rinse. I'm hoping I like this one just as much.
These both smell really good btw!
 
Technicall where I am it's Sunday, so I deep conditioned my hair yesterday with a mixture combination of Ion Reconstructor, Redken Heavy Cream and Generic Humectress.
 
On Wednesday past, I had my stylist give me a nice porosity control conditioner before trimming it down. I forgot to update before.

I would DC once a week before I joined the boards or this challenge. However I DC 2x/wk now and the advice I get from the ladies here on different techniques, additives, and products to use has been the best thing to happen to my hair. I find the Protein is my Friend & Cowash challenges along with this one have really helped my hair become more healthy, moisturized and be more manageable.
Hope this helps and answers your question.
 
Okay, this is my first challenge and my first update. So here goes: I DC on dry hair with a mixture of Mizani Moisturefuse and Nariobi Humectress. I covered my hair with a plastic cap and took a nap for about 1 hour, next I sat under a hooded dryer on med heat for 20 mins. I washed with KeraKare Moisturizing Dandruff shampoo and used Nairobi Soft Finish as my leave-in. Next, I roller set using very diluted Lottabody with a few drops of Pantene Relaxed and Natural Conditioner added. My hair is very soft and managable. I like the way it feels. I will update next week. I hope to be able to post pics soon.
 
Hey! I DC overnight with Nexxus Humectress. Then when I woke up in the morning I made a mixture of Avocado and Coconut Milk and added that to my hair with a hot towel for an hour. My hair felt heavenly!
 
Deep conditioner earlier using AOHSR. In the future I'm probably going to try AO White Camellia. Anybody try that one?

I LURVE the White Cameila ! :love: I feel it outperforms HSR when it comes to Moisture/Conditioning. From what I hear, the Rosa Mosqueta is also a good AO Conditioner.

I can't wait to see what you think of it.:grin:
 
deep conditioned overnight last night with kbb ll hair mask mixed with vatika frosting. this morning when i rinsed my hair was sooooo soft.
