[chebaby]

i deep conditioned overnight with carols daughter black vanilla smoothie then shampood with black vanilla shampoo, then did a treatment with joico reconstructor then deep conditioned with ORS replenishing conditioner with heat for 30 minutes.

 

[Aggie]

I love this challenge. I deep condition twice a week with ORS replenshing pack and I love it! I'm going to try the Alter Ego Rebalancing DC considering I use Megatek and OCT.

Hi Keenas, would you like to officially join the challenge? If so, I can add your anme in on the front page, okay? Let me know honey.

 

[mahogany_horizons]

Oh yeah, I am too.



You're welcomed honey and no I don't DC with olive oil but I do pre-poo with it.



Oh yeah, I added you in right after you pm'ed me.

HEY LADY THANKS SO MUCH I will keep posting my progress!

 

[Tarae]

DC'd today with GVP Conditioning Balm. I don't know if I like this stuff yet. I hope it works as well for me as it does for others.

 

[Golden75]

DC'd w/ Kenra MC. Still under the dryer, roots ain't ready yet, but my hair feels amazingly soft! Can't wait til its dry so I can really feel it up!

 

[naturalness]

Ok, I am a huge product junkie-actually I think I may be getting better. I have a ton of conditioners and some are unfamiliar brands. Anyways today I deep conditioned without heat for 30 minutes. I used Phyto Organics Humectin mixed with Relive Trattamento Ristrutturante(Deep conditioner-made in Italy). My hair is very soft and smooth.

I finally got my hair trimmed. I am so loving it. My hair dresser encouraged me to take care of my hair so I can reach my goal. I asked her tons of questions. I got a relaxer, a dc, a trim and a rinse. I will continue with my dc on a regular basis. But dag my hair looks good. If I did this right, here is a picture of me and my brothers at their bday party last night. I am about 2 inches or so from shoulder length hair.

 

[GoldenBreeze]

Getting ready to rinse out my DC. I used a mix of Kenra MC, Biolage HydraT., 1 tbsp EVOO, and 1 tbsp turkey red castor oil, and kept it on for 30 min with heat and 1 hr w/o heat.

 

[Lanea87]

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.

Ummm I would love to try this with 2 step Aphogee and 2 min, how do you think that would be. That darm stickiness is killing me, I need something that will give me time to apply. Is that CON Reconstructor a liquid or cream like a conditioner?

 

[Lanea87]

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.

See when I get a relaxer I can try to the the 2x/wk but all this NG is killing me and I be feeling like I am losing alot of hair when I do the DC process.

 

[Forever in Bloom]

Deep conditioned again with AO HSR for about 40 minutes under my bonnet dryer. I this stuff. My KBB Luscious Locks Mask (6 jars ) will be here sometime next week, but until then, I will be using this. I plan to re-purchase about 3 more bottles this Friday

 

[song_of_serenity]

I'm in!!!! I'm getting serious with my hair for 09! Just about to wash my dc out! (Alter ego garlic)

[SCarolinaGirl]

I'd like to join this challenge. I've been dc twice a week for the last 2 weeks and my hair is so much softer. I need to add a starting pic to my fotki.

 

[Ozma]

DCing right now with Lustrasilk Shea Butter and Mango +evoo (1 hr under plastic cap and towel, no heat)

before dc, I did an oil pre-poo, and cleansed with Elucence Moisture Benefits

after dc, I will green tea rinse, leave-in, seal and bun

 

[SCarolinaGirl]

Here are my starting pics...

Oh shoots, I forgot to update on this in here. I did in the "Protein is my friend" thread. ASny hoo, I realized that officially my hair simply hates Aphogee 2 step protein. When I used it about 3 months ago, I still had hair coming out in the comb and this time was no different. It was terrible.

I had a far greater success with my beloved Duo Tex than with this mess. I got up, picked up that nasty stink crap and threw it in the garbage without thinking about it twice. I will be using the Duo Tex a few days before I relax my hair, maybe Wednesday if I decide to go ahead and relax this coming Sunday. Still not sure about that yet...

I must point out though that my hair still loves the Aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructor.

The trick is to clear up the hair by combing before washing. I do not comb while my hair is wet, this is looking for trouble. What I do is separate my hair a little with my fingers while it's wet for it to dry faster under my dryer using cold air. This works better for me. Then I try to gently comb it out after it's dry.

This is what I did too. I tried a bottle that another member sent me to try out and I liked it so much, I decided to order a couple more bottles online and I have no regrets where this conditioner is concerned. I just love love love it.

You weren't mad, were you Aggie girl? I mean, just kicked that Aphogee to the curb.

I haven't joined this challenge b/c I'm so bad about DC but I did DC w/ ORS replenishing pak, olive oil, and castor oil for 4 hours on Saturday (no heat, just a plastic cap and towel to trap my body heat). Then I rinsed w/ diluted poo(amazingly easy detangle) and conditioned w/ HE LTR. Did a wet bun and my waves are luscious. I'll be DC again tonight w/ ORS Hair Mayo.

Well joytimes10, that's why we call it a challenge. Looks like you should be joining this one if it actually is a challenge or you. There is a great support system here that will help encourage you in your efforts to give your hair the love it's craving from you, okay? Are you game?

I've been so bad w/posting! But I have been keeping up w/my DCs. This past Tues I dc'd w/AO GPB, honeyquat, suave coconut condish & castor oil under the dryer and let me tell you...my hair loved it! It was the first time in a long time I had bounce & swang. So needless to say this is definitely a keepa for those times when I need a lil protein boost. I finally got my vitacost shipment last week and I couldn't wait to try the AO HSR because of all the positive feedback. I dc'd w/it and nothing else overnight Saturday and I love it! I do think I add a lil oil to it this week. Gonna try the AO Island Naturals tomorrow, can't wait!

MzWill I want to definitely hear your review on the AO Island Naturals conditioner. It's still sitting in my save for later wish list at vitacost.com. I hear that's the AO line for relaxed and natural hair too and it was more expensive than all the others.

Ooooh, Ok that explains the price difference! You know folk done got hip to the fact black women spend a reported $20 billion on haircare, er'body wants their share.

 

[hairsothick]

Deep conditioning now with Humecto. Will DC again when my other hair stuff arrives.
