Yesterday I pre-poo with my oil mix that now has JBCO. Chelated with ORS Aloe Poo, then did the Cherry Lola Tx. My hair felt extremely strong and was very shiny. I rinsed and CW with Y2C and followed up with a moisture DC with Sitrinillah (with heat 1hr). My hair felt so good after this. I didn't think my hair had been craving protein but I guess it did. I'm going to do a heavier protein treatment once a month to keep my hair happy, healthy and strong.
 
I wasn't going to do anything to my hair until another 2 weeks but my braids were not laying and flowing like I wanted it to so I washed it and DCW'd it with a Mills Creek Biotin and Keratin Condtioner mix so that it could flow better. Now it feels so light and wonderful:yep:.
 
I did henna with Nupur 100% natural mehendi mixed with water ,castor oil 3 drops ,Vit E 3 drops ,carrot oil 3 drops ,jasmine oil drops ,acoconut oil , Alma oil all my oils came from the Indian store . Then I DC mendex porosity my hair feeling good. I increase my DT daily because my hair is growing so fast and I have a wedding in October and I want to wear my hair. My regimen is simple but consistence.No more bald patches thank God and thank LFHC, DT and Nupur Henna is the best for me , hair so soft.

As you all can see, I'm pretty new here. I've been natural for about 6 years. My hair is -just above the bra connection. (somebody please direct me to the index of acronyms so that I know what people are talking about when they abbreviate)

Here's my problem. All these years, I thought I knew how to dc. I would get a LeKair Cholestoral DC, wash my hair (these days I co-wash) apply the dc, put on a plastic cap and leave it for about an hour.

Now days, I want to step it up with more consistent conditioning. Today, I have Aubrey's dc in my hair. I first cowashed with Aussie and some coconut oil mixed in it. Then I poo'd with Nioxin-this is a medicated shampoo that I must use occasionally due to a medical condition, but save that for another discussion.

Next, I cowashed again then I mixed the Aubrey dc with some castor oil, honey, jojoba oil and more coconut oil. I've applied a plastic cap which I will leave on for an hour and then I will sit under the dryer for about 20 minutes.

So, I'm sitting here rereading the instructions for the Aubrey dc and it reads that this product is supposed to be applied to dry hair for 15 minutes BEFORE a shampoo! I don't know how I missed this! Since when do you apply a dc to dry hair? So my question is have a totally messed up my dc? Please tell me about your process.
 
DCing tonight with a delightful mixture of Silicon Mix, Profectiv Deep Conditioning treatment, and about 1 tablespoon of Macadamia Nut Oil. Since I'm coming up on 8 weeks post, it's critical that I start deep conditioning more than once a week. Summer's ending; it'll get harder due to the cold weather...

No you have not messed up your dc. A lot of people dc on dry hair and a lot of people dc on wet hair. It's a personal preference. Do what works for you.
 
my hair loved the avocado treatment i did. 1 whole avocado, half can of coconut milk and 1 tbs of honey. my hair LOVED it. i put the other half of coconut milk in the freezer and will co wash with it day after tomorrow. then i will use the rest of my avocado treatment on sunday. i did the avocado treat for 2 hours on wet shampood hair without heat.

next week i will move on to trying out bananas again since i have a blender now. it will prolly just be bananas, honey and oils. i will use it as a pre poo.
 
I am henna'ing my hair at the moment may leave it on over night or wash out and DC over night.

I will use GVP NH, Castro and EVOO, and maybe the rest of my CON-purple conditioner.

Welcome to LHCF Here's the page you're looking for Choirgirl. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=255441. It's the page that's useful to all newbies and you'll find the commonly used LHCF acronym link on that page as well.

By the way, not everyone DC the same way. You can DC on wet or dry hair and get wonderful results. DC'ing on dry hair is essentially a prepoo and when I do it this way, I normally don't have a whole lot of time on my hands and it helps save time.

I would DC on dry hair, lightly poo, then lightly cowash withthe same conditioner that I DC'ed with on dry hair. I think that you have been doing some things wrong, for example, you DC'ed then cowashed, then poo'ed, then DC'ed again. This is too much manipulation of your hair.

You can simply decide to do it the way I do it as stated above or pre-poo with some type of oil and you can sometimes mix it with a protein conditioner and leave it on for about 30 minutes, then poo, then DC as normal with heat, wash out, add leave-in, dry and style as you usually do.

You may want to add a porosity control conditioner to your regimen as well. It really helps your hair to maintain a good moisture level. Whatever you do, listen to your hair, if you need protein, use it nad if you need moisture, use a moisturizing deep conditioner.

If you have more questions, just ask away, someone will chime in for you, okay? HHG!

Whoa Che, this sounds really delicious:lick:. Let me know how it turned out, okay?
 
Took my sew in out last night.
- Nutrine Garlic condish
-Aphogee 2 min
-Aphogee Deep Moisture shampoo
-CoN Porosity Corrector
-Mizani/EVOO/JBCO/Almond oil/KBB DC/mix--30 mins with heat
 
I didn't DC this weekend so I'm doing it now. DC'ing on dry hair with ORS repl pack with 1 T sunflower oil added for 1 hr with no heat.
 
Still DCing weekly - now it's every Saturday after swimming. I wash with condish and sodium bicarb and DC with AO HSR + Qhemet's Heavy Cream which I leave in. Seems simple but it works so well for me, so I'll carry on.

Che--I will be trying both of these out. I need to run past the store to get some avocado. I have banana that will be ready to go by the end of this week so I will use that to make the dc on Friday.

Did a cassia gloss on Monday. My first one. I think I noticed a little shine. I will repeat again in 2 months. Today I will steam with BPT Wheat Conditioning Cream.
 
Sorry. Been bad with posting. I had to look for my name to see if I was banished from the challenge, lol. Anyway, I pre-pooed overnight with AOGPB, egg yolk, and goat's milk, and then today I DC'd for 30 minutes w/heat with AOWC mixed with grapeseed oil and honey. Then I allowed that mixture to dry in my hair before rinsing it out and moisturizing, as usual.
 
Did a protein treatment with Aphogee 2 step and DC'd with Ion Moisturizing Conditioner last Monday and did a braidout that I'm rocking right now. Will wash on monday. I need to baby my hair my for a while I used a new henna and my hair feels different (dry and weird). So I need to be careful to avoid breakage.
 
Pre pooed with Hesh Shikakai oil, then shampooed with my Shikakai bar, then dced with AM,ORS,V05, Bhringraj,Brahmi, Nettle, & Horsetail.

Will be steaming with the dc Che mentioned--banana, honey, oils. I may do an overnight with it we shall see.
 
DCing now with keracare humecto (new thicker formula) and Olive Oil under my microwave conditioning cap. My NG has been giving me heck the last few days. So I put a nozzle tip in the conditioner bottle, made small parts in my hair, then squeezed conditioner right down into the NG. I also squeezed a generous bit of olive oil in there as well.
 
DCing now with keracare humecto for 30 minutes with a heat cap.
Also DC Tuesday night with sebastians moisture shine for 45 minutes with a heat cap.
 
DCing now with:
- Mizani reconstructing masque
- Mizani microfusion penetrating treatment
- a bunch of conditioners I mixed together (Pantene, SitriNillah, Phyto, Kenra Mc)
- EVOO, almond oil, JBCO mixed together

Sitting under my conditioning cap. 30 mins.
 
i pre pood/deep conditioned with the rest of my avocado treatment. then shampood with black soap and then conditioned and detangled with oyin honey hemp conditioner. i then w&g with kbb hair milk and cream and my hair feels so darn good. i cant keep my hands out my hair i mean it feels damn good.
 
Just detangled with Giovvani Tea Tree. I'm going to CO wash, and then DC with ORS rep pk mixed with 1/2 T sunflower oil and some Ojon ultra hydrating. I have to add to the pack of ORS, because one pack isn't enough for my hair. I'll DC for 20 -30 min with heat, and 30 w/o heat.

ETA: When I don't add to the ORS pack, then I just use two packs.
 
DC'd tonight with AOWC for 30 mins with heat, and then another hr and a half without after a quick wash with Giovanni Tea Tree poo.
