DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE - PART 3 CONT'D

Having a Shescentit wash day to try out the Tea Tree and Grapefruit strenthening and reconstructing condish. Pooed with diluted Castile soap. Cowashed with the Super Soft Honey Condish- it is very thick and smelled great not quite like the Avocado Condish but close. Did an ACV rinse and now I have the Tea Tree condish in now 30min without heat 45min with heat. Bout to wash out and follow with the Banana Burlee. Going to do some small twists today and see how long they last.
 
DCing now with AO GBP - applied about 5 hrs ago. I feel like leaving it in but I'm scared of protein overload. Need to decide what to CW it out with... I just wanna go to sleep though!

Okay today I will deep cowashing with quite a bit of powders:

1 Tbs of shikakai powder
2Tbs of bhringraj powder
2 Tbs of amla powder
2 Tbs of kalpi tone
2 Tbs of brahmi powder

I add my Fenugreek rinse to it with a few drops of rosemary and peppermint essential oils, 4oz of coconut and shikakai oils and 5oz of HE HH.

Right now though, I am pre poing with Lily of the Valley aloe vera gel mixed with some OCT and Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor with heat for approx. 30 mintes. I'll be adding my ayurveda cowash paste right over that and rub it into my scalp for sure for stimulation. I will keep it on an additional 30 minutes.

Then I'll cowash it out with the remaining HE HH and maybe some V05 Free Me Freesia Conditioner.

Following will be either a DC of Giovanni SAS or Joico Body Luxe.

ETA: I ended up using both the Giovanni SAS and the Joico Body Luxe because the Body LUxe felt better on my relaxed ends and the SAS felt better on my new growth, (I spread a little honey over it) but still an awesome combination that left my hair very very soft and manageable.

The next thing I did was a final flat beer and jojoba oil rinse and washed it with cold water. I finished off with Beauty Without Cruelty Leave in. That was lightly fragranced, all natural ingredients and felt really great going on as well. Thanks again Terri for blessing me with this little treasure:yep:.

Okay here's my update on the entire treatment today. All I can say is WOW!!! I will be doing this treatment again and again. I had enough left over for another day so I'll reduce the ingredients by half for the next ayurveda deep cowash. I need to add these steps to my fotki album.

I believe it may have been the pre-poo or it may have been the ayu-cowash, but I had virtually no breakage and I have over 4" of new growth on my relaxed head. I am stunned with the results and can't wait to do another one. I will however try to space the aloe vera/Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor pre-poo treatment out at 2 week interval or as often as needed. That was a very effective pre-poo for breakage.

My hair feels very strong and yet soft and lush:lick:.
 
Last night Condition with Aussie and I used MT for 30min. After I did porosity conditioner , then sealed with shea butter condition, and twist hair overnight very soft soft hair .

Yesterday I pre-poo'd for 2 hours with coconut oil, olive oil and 3 drops of ylang ylang. Then I rinsed and deep conditioned with Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose for 3 hours.
 
I've got a mix of ORS Mayo and Miss Keys 10 in 1, sealed with oilve oil on right now. I'm going to leave it on overnight, rinse and CW with NTM condish in the morning for moisture.
 
Ladies, how are you all? I haven't posted in a while because I've been really trying to do some soul searching. I have finally made a decision to go all natural but this is my dilemma now. I have been caring for my hair now for 5 months..."with the help of all of you of course". I have about 4.5 in new grow and the rest is permed hair, which happens to be appx. 3" away from BSB. This is my question...do I have to do a big chop in order to maintain proper hair care regimen or can I continue to grow out my hair to WL (my goal) with the permed hair still attached. It's a lot of hair ya'll so I'm really torn.
Please help!:spinning:

Hi, I answered you in the thicker hair challenge but here's my response again:

I'm at similar crossroads as you eocceas. I am also transitioning (to Texlaxed hair) and I have about the same amount of new growth as you do and about 4-5 inches of relaxed ends. When I started out in January (my last relaxer), I had my stylist cut off 3" and again in May, she cut off an additional 4". I was at BSL when I decided to transition and now I am back to shoulder length. The distance between my neck and BSL is pretty long so it takes me longer to grow my hair to that length than you I think.

I recommend doing what you can actually handle. Some ladies like Prospurr for example, kept her relaxed ends until she reached a certain point with her transitioned texlaxed hair. She did cut it a tiny bit at a time because for her it was better and she also did not want to have too much of her hair off her head at one time. She did bun her hair as a protective style to retain her length.

I was cutting off big chunks of hair at a time because for me, this was better. I think you may want to consider doing it the way Prospurr did hers or better yet, check out her fotki to see what her regimen is. It just may be the right fit for you.

I have plans to texlax my hair again after I have about maybe 7 or 8 inches of natural hair on my head. In the mean time, I will continue to have the straight relaxed ends cut off. Henna, fortunately, is keeping my new growth hairs a little bit manageable.
 
man i cant wait until sunday so i can deep condition. i will do a mix with bananas, honey and either coconut oil or coconut milk.
i just cant wait.

Thnx hon this helps tremendously, will go on her Fotki now.
 
I wash my hair every day. If I do a deep condition, won't I just wash out my conditioner and will it still do its job?

I condition before I wash to cut down on the amount of product buildup I get and it works. But I want to know if the conditioner is still working.
 
Deep conditioning right now on dry hair with a mix of AO HSR, water, a little MT and coconut oil. This is my 2nd DC this week. Plan to rinse off after a few hours and will apply more AO HSR (finishing a bottle) and leave that as a leave in (my hair loves this!).
 
DC'd Thrus with a mix of SE olive oil DC, Sitrinilah (sp?), honey, MSM powder, Vakita Oil, Growth oil mix, Tea Tree oil, and I think thats it. My hair came out soft but strong which is what I was hoping for since I was putting it in flat twists and twists.

Many ladies DC on dry hair before shampooing but I would recommend after washing out the shampoo, still use some moisturizing conditioner for a minute or two to combat any dryness that may result from using the shampoo.
 
I'll be DCing this evening after washing out my leftover karishma henna treatment I had in the fridge a week ago. I don't know what I will be using yet though. I'll update afterwards.
 
DC'ing overnight with a mix of joico body luxe/moisture recovery, lustrasilk shea butter & mango cholesterol and bramhi/vatika oil mix.
 
I'm spending the night with my beloved Ovation Cell Therapy. I've been paying too much attention to my WEN and now I need the strength of my first love. :yep: :giggle:
