Last night - rinsed hair with water thoroughly before tea rinsing (black, horsetail, nettle and rosemary herb) and DC'd on top of the rinse with AO WC. I love how soft my NG was after the tea rinse (I'm still in my tiny braids no hair added).
Mixed a crazy concoction of Jasmine's Babasu butter conditioner, Lustrasilk, coconut oil, hemp seed oil, 1 drop of ylang ylang oil, and God knows what else and left that on my hair for 2 hours.
Just did an Aphogee Two-Step Treatment (last one was mid August) and followed it with the Balancing Moisturizer (not sure if I like the Balancer?). Now sitting under the dryer and DC'ing with a mixture of GVP Humectress Deep Moisturizing Condish and SE Mega Cholesterol Treatment.
I just finished my DC tonight and am about to roller set. I've been using Burt's Bees Avocado pre-poo lately which seems to work well, and I followed with my KPAC clarifying shampoo and cuticle sealer. Then I did 15 min with heat and steam technique using KPAC protein conditioner then followed that with 30 min under heat and steam with a blend of Davine's Nouno and Alter Ego Garlic. After all this time and effort, my hair had better be delightfuly delicious.
I pre-shampooed with Organics hair mayonnaise then shampooed with VO5 moisturizing shampoo. Then I applied the ION reconstructor and SE megasilk moisturizing treatment for 30 minutes. I steamed deep conditioned under a hooded dryer with a moist steaming t-shirt around my head while under a plastic cap.
Checking in for today ladies....pre-pooed with mild protein conditioner for 2.5 hrs., used ayurvedic cleansing conditioner, and did a quick cw/acv rinse while in the shower.
Under the steamer now with a dc from Verbena. This will most likely be the first & only time I use because I needed the entire jar. Not a good investment to me.
Prepood with EVOO under a baggy. Dcing now with Keracare humecto and EVOO.
On a whim I colored my hair with permanent color. That's the first time I've done that since high school. I'm hoping my already rigorous DC regimen will keep my hair from being damaged by the color.
Today I did the Aphogee 2 step protein treatment. I then did a quick condition with Aphogee Balancer/Moisturizer for 5 minutes. I then did a deep condtioning with Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturizing Treatment & EVOO for 30 minutes under the hooded dryer.
I DC'd with Ovation Cell Therapy for 6 hours w/o heat first, rinsed w/Ovation Creme Rinse and then DC w/steam using my AOHSR.
I put my hair into 2 twists and tied my hair down to airdry. At 12 weeks post and wanting to stretch to 15 weeks, I'll do this until my touch-up at the end of the month.
This weekend is my weekend for DCing. I have so many new products I want to try out but I have no clue which ones I'll start with. I have some time before the weekend to ponder this a little more:scratchch:.
Currently prepooing with some Joico K-Pak DPR right now and will be DCing soon. I clarified my extension braided hair with BWC Rosemary, Mint and Tea Tree Conditioner, followed by Avalon Organics Biotin with B-Complex Thickening shampoo mixed with a little caffeine powder. I will leave this in for about 20-30 minutes on my scalp for stimulation.
Will update afterwards.
ETA: I finally deep conditioned with a mixture of Mizani Moisturefuse and Mizani ThermaSmooth Conditioners and now ending with Aussie Moist Conditioner as my leave in. My hair smells wonderful.
