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

[Aggie]

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.

I get like this too SS. After having my braids in for about 5 weeks, I get antsy and want to take them down just so I can see my hair again.

 

[Whimsy]

I want in. I need to remember this. However, I'll be DCing once a week.

Okay Whimsy, welcome to the challenge and please post a starting pic and the products you'll be using okay. I like to put the DCs the challengers are using on the front page to help out our newbies. Thanks in advance and enjoy the challenge.

My plan for today: prepoo with vatika frosting, wash with CON (green), dc overnight with Sitrinillah.

ETA: Looking back I guess I forgot to post that I dc'd on dry hair with Moist Condition Pro on Thursday. Sometimes I get caught up reading posts and forget to post myself .

Okay, Aggie. I almost, almost gave up and relaxed this weekend. But a protein mixture saved my hair and my sanity. I mixed an egg with Pantene R&N Deep Mask and coconut and olive oils for a deep protein treatment on Thursday night. I followed that with SE Mega Cholesterol Moisturizing Treament and Aussie Moist for moisturization. My breakage and shedding has decreased tremedously. Thanks for the encouragement. I will DC with UBH Sunday followed by my SE and/or Aussie Moist. I am learning that in order to stretch my relaxers I NEED protein AND moisture.

Aggie, I'm thinking about getting braids this weekend. Do you recommend a certain DC for this. I love how my hair feels since I've started cowashing and DCing more.

 

[GoldenBreeze]

Awesome starting point for you too GB. Let's do this.

Thanks! I did a big trim just before those pics, and trimmed more than I intended to. It's okay though, because I know I'll have it back by the end of the year.

I know that's the truth! I'm natural, and I NEED protein AND moisture. I've always used both, and my hair is happy because of it. My hair is definitely not protein sensitive. It's all about the balance.

I wash and cond. w/ mane and tail last night then followed up with a dc with cholesterol w/ heat for about 30 min. This is my first time using mane and tail I hope my hair likes it.

 

[Healthb4Length]

I shampooed with ABBA Moist and deep conditioned with a mix of Aubrey Blue green algae, ORS RP, SE Mega Moisture, and OJon Tawaka. Just awesome! Great Slip! I plan on doing a rollerset afterwards.

I've only been using WEN and Hair One cleansing conditioners as they can be used as both a cleanser and a deep conditioner. Additionally they can be left in the hair as leave-ins as well. For me, it was so easy to have such a simple regimen for my braids.

I would add a lttle Infusium 23 to it when I felt like my hair needed a little protein boost for a few minutes and still follow it up again for moisture without the Infusium 23 Repairologie for an additional 30 minutes without heat. I used my braid spray mixed with 5-6 pumps of WEN Fig CC, just a little bit of Infusium 23, glycerin, and some Eqyss Premier Botanifying Spray all mixed up together as a daily moisturizer. I have a lotta stuff and trying to use them up. My new growth was so so soft while I was taking the braid down too. So well worth it.

For my next braid session, I will alternate the above DC with AO honeysuckle Rose and AO GPB balancing Conditioner just to mix it up a bit. I will still cleanse my with the WEN and Hair One though.

[sevetlana]

I am sooo excited I did my Dc all day yesterday and i rollerset to day. My hair is light and fluffy feels so moisturized I think I may have found my dc for the moment. I used Vitale mayonnaise mixed with suave daily moistures honyquat and silk amino acids.

My hair was tangled I think because I slept in the concoction, but I took my time and detangled in small sections when I was ready to rollerset. But my hair responded well to this treatment.

I have a pic in my album if yall interested.

 

[Butterfly08]

I DC'd today for 60 min under my Pibbs with Aveda Damage Remedy Treatment. I also had some VS So Sexy, Redken Butter Treat and Kenra MC, so it was one big happy family of cons. Will wash and set now.

YEsterday was a swim day for me, so I clarified my braids in the am with diluted tri - swim, followed by a chamomile tea rinse.

In the evening I dc'ed for two hours or so with AOHSR - maybe 90 minutes without heat, 30 minutes with. Rinsed in the shower and followed up with MT on my scalp, some bhringraj,moisturized with HV ends and sealed with cocasta. Tied my brids up and went to bed.

I took them down this am so they could finish airdrying and my hair is super moisturized and very soft. I am loving this extra attention to dc'ing!

[mahogany_horizons]

I DIDN'T SEE THAT I HAD BEEN ADDED TO THIS CHALLENGE.

I am so happy.


Tuesday- Deep conditioned with silk elements cholesterol for 1 hour, and with silk elements moisturizing treatment for 1 hour. Just used a plastic bag with no heat.

Friday-Deep conditioned with silk elements hair repair mayo for 30 minutes under the dryer. Because that was a protein I followed it up with silk elements moisturizing treatment. I left it on for 10 minutes under the dryer then cooked and cleaned up the kitchen. When i washed it out I imagine that an hour and a half had gone by.
