I DCed with Alter Ego Garlic treatment last night for the first time. I clarified (nexxus aloe rid); shampooed (kenra moisturizing); reconstructor (Aphogee 2 minute); and then applied the Alter Ego. It smelt surprisingly good! I can't really describe the fragrance, but it was NOT garlic. I kept it in for about an hour while I worked out. My hair felt soft and there was minimal breakage/shedding when I blow dried. This will stay in rotation until I stop using mega tek.

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.
Girl Mandy I saw that cute braid out you're talking about and I loved it. You are really rockin' that look honey

I agree. I feel the same way about AE garlic treatment. Love the smell and how my hair responds to it but I will only be using it as long as I'm using OCT/MT. I like to make my own garlic oil concoction. It doesn't smell too good but dannnnnng! It works!

I dc'd yesterday for an hour with ORS. I airdried to reduce the amount of heat I use this year. Well this morning, when I took down my braid, I looked like a lion. I didn't expect that much puffiness. I am either going to re-wash, and rollerset or flat iron this evening.
I may hold off on the airdry thing until I get beyond APL.

Girl Romey, my hair is so fine, I live for this kind of poofy hair days
. You are lucky honey
.Eisani, I just henna'ed my hair this morning with Jamila henna and already washed it out too with suave cucumber and melon conditioner and Roux 5 in 1 shampoo (sulfate-free). I am now sitting under my dryer with some Mizani Moisturefuse mixed with AO HSR and coconut oil for a couple of hours or so.
I am going to be attempting Macherieamour's saran wrap technique for the first time today
. Wish me luck with that ladies.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
This thread is moving soo fast I can barely keep up
I hope my hair grows like this lol. Thanks for the advice. I did follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to up my conditioning and keep from getting sick in this cold weather.

I went to the Dominican salon today and used my GVP Conditioning Balm. I'm still on the fence with this stuff. It's not enough slip for my hair at all but my hair still feels decent when I use it.
It might be one of those that I need to mix with something else, just to get rid of it. Maybe it'll work better when I'm not like 10-11 weeks post. Don't know.

Okay, so I'm sitting here w/henna in my hair and was brainstorming. I put my condish in a container getting ready for my after henna dc and decided to make a paste to add to it. In my container I have GVP Conditioning Balm, Jessicurl WDT and a bit of AOHR mixed together. In a separate bowl I made a sofrito for hair that consists of:
1 tbsp Red palm butter
1 tbsp EVCO
1 tsp shikakai pwdr
2 tsp amla pwdr
I took some of the paste and stirred it into the condish and added a bit of raw African honey. It looks good! I'll let yall know how my hair turns out, but it sounded yummy to me!! I'm thinking I can add my "sofrito" to any dc if I make a large batch.

DC'd tonight, switched up my regular routine a bit because my hair has been seeming just so dull.
Pre-pooed my hair by massaging neem & brahmi oil into scalp then applied an oil mix on length of my hair, sat with that for about 4 hours. Shampooed in 3 rinses - 1st wash with Aritha Shampoo Bar, 2nd was with KeraCare Dry Itchy scalp because my scalp has been so itchy and dry and the 3rd wash was with KeraCare Hydrating and Detangling Shampoo. I DCd with Alter Ego energizing and rebalancing masque on ends and a mix of Giovanni Sleek and Aussie Moist for 1 hour with out heat, then rollerset.

Your hair came out pretty, Aggie! It's so black too! I used the Yemeni henna tonight for the first time. It released a LOT of color and my hair is crazy vibrant even while wet so I'm really curious to see the dry results tomorrow. I'm sitting under the dryer dc'ing now and I'm beyond tired. About to jump in the shower to rinse then go to

Why didn't I think of this before? I am Dcing with Capilo Suela y Canela and Silk Elements Mega Silk and I put a plastic cap on and then went out side but put my beanie on. Came inside left it on cleaned up, just took it off and of course my bag is pretty warm. I know it makes a lot of sense but usually I just have a plastic bag on for a couple hours if I can't get under the dryer.

Just checking in, I did a cowash with Suave Humectant, Aritha, Neem, & Shikakai. Then followed up with dc of NTM,1/2 pack of ORS, ABM spiked with Bhrami, Bhringraj, Amla, & Fenugreek. I let this sit for an hour under a plastic cap. The end result is soft, thick, moist hair with tamed NG. (I'm going on 9 wks. post)
