GROW YOUR HAIR LONG WITH DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE 2008 - PART 2

Post a picture of the sponge you have because I'm not too familiar with that name. The sponge I am referring to is a sea sponge - the sponge that grows out in the ocean. In the Bahamas, I think we have areas where sponge grows and we have divers that collect them, cure them and sell them in the stores here (they are very expensive too) but you can purchase them in places like bed & bath, okay?

Oh ok, I understand the type of sponge you're talking about. Mine should be made up of natural materials since it is 100% cellulose, but it's not a sea sponge. I will look in bed & bath, I hope it's not too expensive.
 
Just checking in. DC'd yesterday on dry hair with NTM Deep Conditioner mixed with Sweet Almond Oil with heat for 30 minutes. I like this conditioner much better than Elasta QP DPR-11 for moisture. I will do this again this weekend.

Hi ladies...I've joined the challenge. I've been DCing with heat 2x a week since Feb. I started DCing with heat for 1 hour but I've cut back to 15-30 mins. I've seen good growth so far. I DC'ed tonight for 30 mins with heat. The pics in my siggy and avatar were taken after styling.

ETA: DC'd with Pantene R & N Breakage Defense Mask (on edges and crown) and Elucence Moisture Balance Condish. Added essential oils of Peppermint & Rosemary. DC'd under conditioning heat cap.

Ooooh, Chile! Your hair is so shiney and healthy looking. It looks so soft and full. :yep:
 
DC'd yesterday after I worked out; I put Nexxus Phyto Humectress I think... it's deff a Nexxus Phyto contioner anywho... I put condish on dry hair, sat in sauna with a cap on my head for 20 mins and my hair is very soft. I'm usually a Kera Care girl, but I keep Nexxus stuff in my gym bag so I can use it up.
 
I DC'd last night with Doo Gro Deep Down Intense condish mixed with a little honey and EVOO for 40 min under the dryer in a steam towel wrap.
 
I am finishing up my dc on dry hair with KC Humecto. I have been under my bonnet dryer for 1 hour. I will cw/rinse and do an oil rinse in just a few minutes. Next dc will be on Friday or Saturday.
 
Tonight I am sitting here dc-ing on dry hair with Kenra MC mixed with Biolage fortetherapie cera-repair PRO treatment and half a cap of honeyquat. I like how it feels on my hair so far. I'll see how it turns out after I wash it out.

ETA: I'm upping my dc's this week because immediately following my henna treatments, I often have to do so to really soften my hair the way I like it to be. The henna treatments undoubtedly makes my hair very strong however, I usually have to restore the elasticity the week following through frequent deep conditioning or co-washing. My hair likes deep conditioning a lot better than co-washing though.

Ok I just picked up some mizani moisturefuse and I'm doing my 2nd dc of the week. Oh just an FYI if you use mizani shampoo and conditioner. I bought mine from JCPenny and they were having a buy one get one for 99 cents shampoo and conditioner sale. I didn't intend to buy the shampoo as I am a con shampoo lover, but I figured you can't beat that.
 
Good Morning,
I did an overnight DC. I missed my Sunday DC because I wanted to wear my Frohawk through the week. I rinsed with Mizani Hydrafuse this morning and then closed with an oil mixture. Scarved wet and went to work. I will DC again Sunday evening.
 
NaturalSigma, I'm LOVING the frohawk!!! Stunning!

I DC'd last night - forgot to put it in before I worked out, so I left it on for an hour or two. My ends definitely appreciated it!
 
I just wanted to let you guys know that I d/ced on Tuesday with humectress mixed with hot oil. I sat under a hot dryer for 20 minutes.
 
I dc'd with keracare mc 25 mins and then did a protein treatment the next day with nexuss emerg. for 20 mins and dc'd after that with keracare mc.

I'll do another dc with keracare on saturday.
 
DCing right now on dry hair w/ Lustrasilk Shea Butter mixed w/ Silicon Mix.

I'll leave it on for about 45 min or so.

How is the texture of your hair changing MissTical?
Click to expand...


When I say that I don't mean from overnight or since starting this challenge. I noticed a change in texture when I switched from Pantene products to Kera Care in 2001... that was my first step to using better products. My hair was softer, not as tangled, and had body beyond belief... really. Fast forwarding on to now... tomorrow makes 24 weeks post relaxer for me. My hair is very manageable.... there was a time that if I hit 8 weeks I didn't want to comb through my hair... but my staple products were ultra sheen hair grease, Luster's pink oil moist., and some kind of Curling Wax... (it was red); I also washed and conditioned my hair every 2 weeks, but curled, crimped, and flat ironed damn near daily. Again I'm 24 weeks post, I've been co-washing and/or rinsing 3/5 x a week. My hair loves me for it, I rarely use heat; though now... I can let my hair air dry with a leave in and it's soft, I have 3 maybe 3 1/2 inches of NG but with a little Jason's Aloe Vera gel it loosens up to the point where I actually like my natural hair... it's soft and wavy not kinky and "nappy" as how I viewed it before. So with all that written it's no longer dry and too kinky to comb through, my coils are looser and soft.
