Deep conditioning overnight, Whose doing this and how's it working for you?
Click to expand...

@Lucia, haven't done this in a while but now that it's warm and I'm wearing a lot of wet buns I plan to go back to doing this once or twice a month. When I've done this in the past my hair was always left super soft and moisturized.
 
So I decided to give up Deva everything. My hair grew out of its shape and I've been wanting my more blunt ends back. So as I had planned, I would be growing it back, but now it will definitely be without regrets. I will also be giving up the products. They are super expensive and my hair has been on the dry side with them. I want to start using my oils again. Lastly, I think I'm experienced a bit of protein buildup from the Heaven in Hair conditioner (which is awesome) but I was doing it weekly under the hooded dryer and clearly that was too much.

Now I'm trying to remember what I was using before. I'm thinking of going back to my ayurvedic routine and see how that goes. I remember having good progress back then.

Thanks for crushing my hopes and dreams. I have to do some more research but so far all of my products are falling in the 3-5 range and I'm not really seeing anything in the 1 category that I want to use.

I just want everyone to be aware when making product decisions, it's one thing to not know and run into problems, but if you're at least aware you can make an informed decision.
The trick is to minimize the accumulated amounts you use to a level you're comfortable with. I still have eco styler in my closet, but my staple everyday products are either all natural or 80% natural. It's hard to find an equal substitute for eco styler, I'm still looking. In the meantime I've greatly reduced my use and dependence on eco styler gel. A close second for me is kinky curly custard for wash n gos, 3rd is Camille rose naturals curlmaker gel that is all natural (flax seed? Or marshmallow root? is main ingredient) and I don't get the dryness on my ends like eco styler. I've reduced eco styler use to my edges only and only when absolutely necessary. I've beeen trying out and using pomade style edge controls, butters, and aloe vera gel and a headband or scarf. HTH

So I've been experimenting with some new products because I need main staples and 2nd and 3rd backups. I don't have time to start from scratch every time some wise guys get the idea to water down their products with cheap and crappy ingredients.
Now I couldn't get to my hair for like 3.5 weeks Yasss! It was Tangled and dryyyyy! Also I knew my ends were due for a trim.

1. Hot oil treatment with coconut oil.
2. Scalp Cleansing and exfoliation with Devacurl build up buster and scalp massager
3. Shampoo tgin Moisture rich sulfate free shampoo
4. Squeeze out excess water before applying Ouidad Curl Recovery Melt Down $$ it also can melt down your wallet. This is an intensive elasticity treatment that is self heating follow directions carefully.
5. Rinse out, deep Moisture with tgin Honey miracle mask
6. Cut from 0.4-1.5 inches in some places most of my hair was ok with s and d. I believe I had more splits and knots due to neglecting my hair for such a long time.
7. tgin leave in conditioner, daily Moisture butter, and oil. This oil is one of the best smelling oils ever. Hair up in protective style.
Some parts of my hair are slightly shorter but I'm sure I'll get that back plus more over the summer. I'm moisturizing, scalp massaging, oiling, several times a week. I'm alo still using Ayurvedic teas and due for a henna treatment soon.

I've been wanting to try that Ouidad your review has given me the push I need! Sounds like your hair had a fantastic spa day.
 
Inversion with Ayurvedic oil and scalp massager
Henna tea followed by leave in conditioner
PS style I don't think I'll be doing many wash n gos this summer. I need get max retention
 
Well I tried something new for wash day today. I'm still trying to get over my protein overload, so last night I applied coconut oil and ghee to my hair. I'm not really sure how well they worked, so I'm going to have to keep experimenting with that. Today, I created a rhassoul clay mask, which I heard from several youtubers helps with protein overload. I put a ton of stuff in it, next time I'll have to make more because I didn't get to full coat all of my strands. I let it sit for about 10 minutes than washed, applied Aussie 3 minute moisture, detangled and styled my wash n go. My hair's still wet right now so I'll see what I think about the final result.

What I noticed with this mask was that my hair was much easier to detangle, it felt like there was a protective layer. What I'm looking for is a itch free scalp at the end of the week and less tangled ends. So we'll see.

You may want to use olive oil, avocado or jojoba oil for pre- poo oil treatment because coconut oil preserves and maintains protein in the hair strands. Coconut oil is good for everything except protein overload. Once that's balanced you can use coconut oil again.

My tgin review
So let's start with the shampoo
It does what it says it does mildly cleanse the hair and get the scalp really clean. I mixed it I mu hands with water to dilute a little and rubbed it into my scalp I didn't put shampoo directly on my length I let the suds flow down then rinsed.
Now I'm no fan of shampoos none of them but sometimes they're a necessary evil. So this shampoo did cleanse my hair but not so much that my hair was completely stripped like say neutrogena clarifying no residue shampoo that stuff it way harsher than this. Although my hair was left slightly dry especially in my normally dry/frizzy areas that I have to use more product on.

Conditioner: tgin triple Moisture it's pretty good actually I also like it as a leave in cause it's moisturizing and clumps my curls better than their actual leave in conditioner.

Leave in conditioner: this was a let down for me, I wanted it to have more Moisture in it like Camille Rose Naturals Moisture Milk (seriously that's become a bae, holy grail fav) it always works on wet or dry hair. So the tgin leave in is more like a lock in the Moisture thick lotion, (like a better ingredient version of lusters pink oil cream it sits on top of my hair but doesn't sink in) your hair has to be drenched for it to retain any moisture with this. It works but not on dry or damp hair.

Miracle honey hair masque: really good its thick, it's moisturizing and leaves hair soft, rinses clean, smells good. I used thus fir 30 m under a heat cap.

Daily moisture butter: First love the smell, while the shampoo and conditioners are pretty much a clean fruity fragrance this smells like mild nice exotique flowers. This is very thick very moisturizing and works as a good styler too.

Oil: Mix of Argan, coconut, olive and more... stronger exotique flower smell than the conditioner but it dissipates after applying to a mild perfume. It's a light smooth oil and a nice blend of oils, she did her homework. Love the smell though and it can double as a body oil. (The perfume is not as strong as say Nubian heritages co wash (which smelled like cheap perfume and liquor) it's a better fragrance and much milder.

These products are thick and better quality so a little goes a long way.
What's great is I don't have to remoisturize my hair during the week, my hair stays moist all week I get 4-5 days, I haven't tried a wash n go yet we'll see how it works.

Henna body art quality no metallics 3 hours
http://www.mehandi.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=124

Cleanser: Shikaiaki paste I didn't make a thick paste I made it thin almost like a thick tea that helps it rinse out easier especially when you have curly hair. 15-20m

Deep conditioner: Camille Rose Algae Renew 30m

Leave in: CRN Moisture Milk

Sealer: CRN Moisture Butter, coconut oil, homemade Shea mango butter mix on ends. (My ends were extra dry last wash day so I'm going overboard with protecting my ends).

I had to do some light dusting using MCs method above, I'm paying for over neglecting my hair. Good news is that my shorter hairs are growing out catching up to the longer hairs and my dry frizzy spot is getting better retaining moisture Ive been using more product there than the rest of my hair lately.
My hair feels great, moisturized and soft.

You guys my hair came out so nice today (well yesterday). Here's what I did:
1. Pre poo with Oil mix for several hours
2. Shampoo w/ Maui Moisture Hydrate
3. Condition w/ Maui Moisture blue bottle
4. DC w/ MM Hydrate DC w/ low heat (30 mins)
5. Detangle, lightly rinse out conditioner
6. Style with SM Curl enhancing smoothie and Ecostyler and air dry

I think SM smoothie was the real game changer. It made my curls more defined and somehow caused the gel to not dry hard. My hair is super bouncy and soft.

Overall my hair is recovering from the protein overload. I'm still getting a few little broken ends but it's improved from a few weeks ago. Also, I did a mini length check and despite the setback, my hair is still growing out pretty well. My shortest layer from my December Devacut, which was APL, is now at BSL and the majority of my hair is around hip length. For now my plan is to keep trimming at HL until my shortest layer at least hits WSL.

Sounds like you're making good progress.
How's the curl enhancing smoothie ? Is it mousturizing, curl clumper?
