anyone find that with this challenge they need to clarify more? i find my hair feels really built up with stuff quickly now...

Well if you are doing more with your hair, ie, adding more products to it on a regular basis, then yes you would need to clarify more but I wouln't recommend sooner than every 2 weeks.

I forgot to check in last week but I deep conditioned once on Saturday over night with ORS replenishing conditioner, Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor, olive oil, castor oil, and honey overnight. This week I deep conditioning on last night with Dr. Miracles Tingling Deep conditioning Treatment in the pack. I worked pretty well. My hair is soft and manageable. I was only able to deep conditioning for 30 minutes without heat. It recommended 30-60 minutes on the pack. I will try it again once I take my kinky twist out in a couple of weeks. My mother is putting kinky twist in my hair as I typing this (I will post a pic in my fotki once she is done) therefore I will only deep conditioning once a week. I think I will continue using ORS replenishing conditioner

Kinky twist didn't turn out the way I expected. They are not as full as I wanted them to be but she did a good job for never braiding or twisting with extensions. We evaluated what we can do next time to make them better next time.



Have a great week ladies.

I just received my order of Ovation yesterday so I DC'ed and used it. I have to rinse out today. I hope I'm as successful as many of you seem to have been with Ovation.
 
I prepoo'd with Aubrey's HSR mixed with Dabur Alma lite oil. I shampooed with ABBA's Pure Moisture shampoo and deep conditioned with CURLS Ecstasy Hair Tea conditioner-30 min, with heat.
 
did a much needed protein treatment yesterday with Nexxus Aloxxi (sp)
DC afterwards with Healty Hair Soy Milk. Hair back to feeling strong again.
 
I havent been feeling well , so I didn't wash my hair yesterday which is my wash day,so today is wash day, I will shampoo with Motions,DC with megatek, and use the 2 minute reconstructer by aphogee. I miss yall, just been sick,and now i'm back online. :drunk:

Welcome back DDP, glad you're feeling better honey.
 
Checking in- Prepoo AO GPB mixed w/ 1 egg, a few oils, SAA, honeyquat about an 1hr. Wash 1x with porosity control shampoo, 1x w/ Kenra moisturing poo (luv that stuff). DC'd w/ Kenra MC mixed w/ oils, SAA, honeyquat. Under the dryer w/ rollers. My hair felt great wet, true test is when it is dry.

OOOOHHHHHHH GIRL!! YESSSS!!! YESS!!! This was me! Remember the stretching and gummy hair before relaxer thread, this was me. I did feel like i noticed some build up.

I always deep condition twice a week, but what was different about my reggie this time, was that I had so much new growth due to stretching, and so I was only lathering once and not twice when I pooed.

Led to build up.

I had to clarify before my relaxer.

You may have to lather more times when you wash your hair.

I know it might be counterintuitive because you want to keep the moisture from the conditioner, but with the use of a good leave in you should be alright.

I had to clarify before my relaxer. This is actually recommended anyway. I always clarify my hair 3 or 4 days before a relaxer.

Actually no it's not counterintuitive MH. It is best to clarify your hair when it's needed so that the products you use on it will work a lot more effectively. Hope this helps.
 
yeah, i usually clarify and do a protein treatment about 4 days at least before a relaxer...but i guess i will probably try next time to shampoo twice then deep condition. the DC really does put alot back into my hair and i think my hair needs to be "cleaned" a bit more before. :) thanks you 2.

You're welcomed honey and good luck.
 
AGGIE, I am glad to know that it's a good idea to clarify before a relaxer. I was unsure, and the reason is because I wanted to make sure that my hair wasn't too stripped. HOWEVER, I am very happy with the way this relaxer took!! SOOOOOOOOOOO happy...so I will be clarifying right before in the future.

I'm deep conditioning right now with an olive oil treatment...its been about an hour I am just too lazy to go wash it out. Hair feels so much better now that I got a trim a couple of days ago.
 
Under dryer with a mix of moisterfuse, honey, evoo, epsom salt and some pantene mixed in becuase it was too watery. DH thinks I'm nuts and my 3 yr DS asked if I was cooking for my hair!:lachen:
 
I'm dc'ing with AO White Camellia. This is the first time I've used this one. It says it's for frizzy hair, and mine is certainly frizzy, so {{fingers crossed}} I hope it works well. I'll leave it on for at least 1 hr without heat, and may add heat for 30 min.

I didn't think there were any LHCF ladies in my small mostly white town, but my neighborhood co-op was all out of AOHSR. This leads me to think that there may be at least one other lhcf'er here in this poo dunk little town. I asked one of the sales clerks to put a couple of bottles away for me, and give me a call when they come in.:yep: So look out nikko's cousin who ever you are. It's on!:lachen::lachen:

I DID MY HAIR TODAY. I DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT TO THE BSS. I HAD TO USE WHAT I HAD ON HAND. B4 I JUMPED IN THE SHOWER I PUT JOICO KPAK ON DRY HAIR. RINSED AND COWASH WITH MANE AND TAIL. APPLIED K PAK AGAIN. RINSED AND :burning:GIRL THAT WATER STARTED GETTING COLD. SO I HURRIED UP :roadrunner:AND PUT SOME MORE KPAK IN AND HALF WAY RINSED OFF AND .......:peek:I END UP RINSING THE REST OUT IN THE SINK TANGLING MY HAIR SOMEWHAT .
AFTER DETANGLING MY HAIR I PUT APOGHEE LEAVE IN AND THE GREEN TEA IN AND A STOCKING CAP TO AIRDRY. I WOULD SAY I'M VERY HAPPY THE WAY MY HAIR CAME OUT:trophy:ITS DRY NOW AND FEELING REALLY BOUNCY
 
I'll be henna'ing my hair in the morning and that will be my strengthener for the week. I'll update on it afterwards. My henna is already mixed and the color will be releasing overnight. I need it to release for at least 8 - 10 hours - I'm using Jamila henna tomorrow. Naturally I will be DC'ing for a few hours tomorrow after the henna treatment. I'm off, so tomorrow will be a full day devoted to my hair:grin:.
 
Please add me to this challenge. I am using NTM Deep Recovery Mask which is not listed.

I just received my order of Ovation yesterday so I DC'ed and used it. I have to rinse out today. I hope I'm as successful as many of you seem to have been with Ovation.

Sorry, I totally missed the first post. By the way, Ovation is a protein rich conditioner and just wanted to say that you should follow it up with some moisturizing deep conditioner to balance out the protein, okay?

By the way, welcome to the challenge:grin:.
 
I miss DC so much after having a break for the last two weeks. I am still not ready, I will be rocking a braid out for the week (hopefully)

I will DC long and hard the moment I get a chance to.:grin:
 
I got some LeKair Cholesterol from Wally world a while back I don't know what I was thinking cuz I forgot it smells like relaxer to me. Blech. So I used it today to finish it off...added 1/2 c. honey 1/4 c. olive oil. Used heating cap and after 3 hours I am going to rinse it out using co-wash.

TQ

My hubby thinks I'm nuts too, but so be it. I keep telling him he'll be proud of me and my hair someday soon when I unleash it to the world and it looks all awesome and big - and I believe it will!
