DOWNRIGHT DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE 2009 - PART 3!!!

[bluwatersoul]

DD#2 used the remainder of my Sitrinillah last week
I should never have let my DD's discover it erplexed

I did however finally go out and get some AO HSR

I dc'ed with it for an hour, no heat. I kept in on my head while I went for a workout and 3 mile run

The smell is a little intense for me...but WOW

I love this stuff. I am even more in love with the ingredients. This will be a new staple for me, and will definitely help while I wait for more HV!

Hi ladies.

I didn't join this challenge because I can only DC once a week. Right now I have some eggs/EVOO/Cholesterol mix on my hair. I'm leaving that for two hours then I will DC for 15 mins with heat.

 

[Aggie]

DC with Cathy Howse Protein for 20 min and Keracare Dry Itchy Moisturizer for 20 Min. Scalp felt great..afterwards..but what do you think Aggie? Next time I was just going to condition on dry hair with Lekair for like 30 minutes or use my Alter Ego rebalance..idk

The first DC session is a good one you have here cicilypayne although I'm not familiar with the ingredients of Alter Ego Rebalance...could you share the ingredients?

This is a moisturizing DC for sure and you are right on target cicily. This should be fine.

I just co-washed with GVP moisturizing conditioner and now I am DC'ing with GVP conditioning balm. Will stay under the dryer for 45 minutes. I'm trying to up my moisture to be on the safe side since I did the aphoghee treatment on wednesday.

 

[DaDragonPrincess]

DDP, is that your starting pic in your siggy? If it is, you have a great start.

Yes I was gone to say that, I will use it as a starting picture. Right now I been DC with Megatek and a Motions Moisture Plus™ After-Shampoo Conditioner , I got to buy some more of my Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special, Other products that are good is Kera Kare,and Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil products, I always use my Pure Virgin Olive Oil to seal my DCs. And wrap with plastic bag when I run out of plastic caps, I recently purchased a 100 pack of plastic caps,so thats a good amount for me for now,lol. Thanks sweetie

My goal for 2009 is to make my own deep conditioners! I just bought a bottle of AO Honeysuckle Rose and added a bunch of different oils plus aloe vera juice just for kicks LOL I hope its not too late!

 

[MonaLisa]

Friday evening for 2.5 hrs - Hairveda Moist 24/7 and Cocosta Oil...

Saturday evening for 1 hr: Shescentit Fortifying Hair Masque/Joico deep conditioner reconstructor
then follow up with moisture again..

 

[SouthernStunner]

Hi Ladies, just checking in. I am still in kinkiy twist and will be until March but I am still DCing at least once a week. I cant wait to see my hair again.

 

[Lanea87]

Imma use the bottle tomorrow and add some honey and oil, how does that sound? If I like the bottle I will def. get the tub..

Ok I DC today the 3rd time this week. This time around I used KeraCare (in the bottle), GVP Nexxus Humectress, honey, and the rest of my Vatika.
I really didnt care for this mix b/c the KC was too watery for my liking, I will invest in the tub some day.
I started doing a dry DC, but after I washed it out I had this white stuff in my hair. So I ended up washing with my CON green and conditioned for like 1 min with CON purple.

Hi Ladies,

It is never too late for the DC challenge. Welcome and have fun. Which products will you be using mahogany_horizons? Also, any starting pics, please post them up so we can see them and cheer you on to new longer lengths, okay?

I will doing my third DC tomorrow too. By the way, Vatika oil has coconut pieces in it and I discovered that when I was trying to squeeze the last drop of the oil in the bottle on my head and I couldn't get it out, so I pulled the top off and poured and sure enough - there were little bits of coconut in the bottle. Then I realized that Vatika oil must be a type of ayurveda coconut oil. Oh and yeah, get the KC tub size, much better thicker consistency

I dont think I can keep doing all this DC'ing a week. Imma drop it back down to once a week every other week.
1 wk: 1x/wk
2 wk: 3x/wk
3wk: 1x/wk....and so on.
I will cornroll my hair in the morning and get ready to put on my LF.

 

[Romey]

I DC'd with ORS Replensihing Pak. Due to my hectic schedule, I was only able to DC once this week.

 

[Aggie]

I pre-pooed again overnight with my MT/MN and essential oils mixture all over my scalp and hair - I soooo love this tingling on my scalp. I washed it out this morning and followed up with a 5 minute straight MT treatment. I am now sitting with some Aphogee 2 step mixed with some CON Reconstructor on my hair until hard. I will be DC'ing with Kenra MC and Biolage Hydratherapie Cera-Repair doused with about 1/2 a teaspoon of salt...can't wait to see how it turns out.

Okay ms_b_haven, whatever is comfortable for you is fine. I see you are in the KISS challenge too so you should do what you feel is best. I am only doing 3 DCs a week now because I am over 11 weeks post my last relaxer and I need to keep my new growth as soft as possible for as long as possible but strengthened all at the same time.

When I relax, I'll be back to my usual 2 DCs a week until I re-install my extension braids when in that case will go back to once a week. I have a method that I use that gives me great results and I encourage everyone to do the same for their hair. Good luck honey.
