Checking in..(hangs head in shame) DC yesterday w/ Pantene Nourish Noir hair mask added honey, EVOO, and Menthi Setvia (sp) Tea. This is my 1st DC in about 2 weeks. I'll step it up....
Welcome back silentdove13.I have so missed being here. Just back from Haiti and I did manage t get in one dc last week.
I am doing an ors repl. pack right now.
Sorry this happened to you evsbaby. I trust you have another DC you can use to correct this mishap?Yesterday I washed with ayurvedic powders and tried a new deep moisturising conditioner I never heard of that was on sale at Sally's. It was crap. Left my hair dry
Can I be in this with my natural stuff? I don't use any of the conditioners used here. This is what I'll be using if I qualify...
Olive oil/honey for moisturizing
Coconut milk/honey for moisturzing with light protein
Egg whites/yogurt for protein
Today I decided to actually wash my hair with poo, since I hadn't done so in about 2 months. I washed with Joico K-pak, then followed up with a dc of Joico K-pak, Cholesterol, & Jason's natural Biotin cond. Infused with my Ayurvedic powders. Let me just say I think I'm getting to the point where my hair hates regular poo. When I finally rinsed after about 2 hours, it felt NOTHING like when I use my powders to washerplexed It's one of those things, as long as I didn't have anything to compare the poo to, it didn't make a difference, but now that I know..... I don't ever want to go back Even though I'm almost 9 wks. post, I still have soft moist hair when I'm done with my treatments. It's like the poo stripped all of my hard work away.... I have had the same result twice before when I tried to go back to poo.
Pre-pooed with Pantene R&N Deep Condish Mask mixed with melted shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and honey (my hot oil treatment as well). After poo, I DC with SE Mega Cholesterol without heat for 45 minutes.
Yes Aggie and my hair felt great!!! I actually posted what I did in the Protein is my friend thread. My hair felt so much better when I was finished. Hadn't been moisturizing like I should have been after my protein tx's and my hair was breaking and shedding. So hopefully I fixed it.tgrowe, you had a great moisture day today, it seems.

UPDATE:
My DC Schedule so far:
1) Jan. 4 - Avocado and Egg Mix - 1 hour
2) Jan. 10 - Sap Moss Conditioner - 30 min
3) Jan. 13 - Tresemme Natural Conditioner - 3 hours (yup, hours!)
4) Jan. 19 - Sap Moss Conditioner + EVOO + Mayo - 30 mins
5) Jan. 27 - Mayo + EVOO - 30 mins (wanted to go longer, but... had to get ready for work... )
6) Jan. 30 - Coconut Milk + EVOO + Tresemme Natural Conditioner - 3 hours. Usually, I'm all hyped about my next move, but now I'm a little erplexed. Although, my hair initially responded well to treatment, my scalp began itching something crazy... Not sure what I might have done to it, during the week, to cause such a crazy reaction. Gonna stick with the basics for a while...
Planning on DC'ing again with my Aveda Sap Moss. My hair LOVES this stuff!
me~
I just bought a 60 ounce jar of SILICON MIX!!! Can't wait to get it, I also bought a heating cap....mmmm my hair is going to eat well!!! YUM!
I just finished DCing with SitriNillah & Castor oil for an hour with heat.
Yay for this thread. I've been consistent with this so far and I plan to keep going. Thanks Aggie.
Where can I buy Silicon mix???
Thanks Aggie, I just remembered I thanked someone the other day for posting A site. Have you ever used it???
I'm very glad to see that you haven't given up on your hair CD, and a new 60 oz jar of silicon mix and a heating cap are proofs of that. Happy growing girl.
I am seeing major improvements in my hair
Yeah...I was so close to giving up, But I re-evaluated my regimen and my hair can't take too much manipulation, It's VERY THICK.....I love this challenge Every time I see it i do a DC....I WILL NOT GIVE UP
Wow you have quite a schedule going on here lp. I used to do this too but my hair said mama, don't do that to me. Now I just wait for wash day, do my moisture/protein checks, and give it what I feel it needs then. Everyone is different I suppose.
