Doesn't that have a lot of protein in it? Maybe that's why your hair was a little crunchy. It's good that you focused on moisture today also to offset the protein.

Oh yes, my hair did not like that either. Okay, I see why you clarified your hair then. Also, please try to use a water-based moisturizer on your ends before sealing the ends with oil okay? I mean with something like BB oil moisturizer hair lotion or BB growth lotion, these are very good and then seal with the castor oil or any good carrier oil. There are many others but these are my faves. I also like salerm 21 with B5 or lacio lacio but only when I could use a little protein. I also put honeyquat in them then apply to my hair. Good luck honey.

ETA: See reviews on the different types of filters and also you'll see that the Sprite is the best model thus far: http://home.roadrunner.com/~reviewguy/shower_filter_test_results.html
Also I bought mine from this site: http://www.showerx.com/sphioudemahe.html, but I think you can get them from home depot.[/QUOTE]
Funny that you should mention this. I just purchased the Sprite filter from Home Depot on Friday. I came home and researched the reviews and you are right, it received great reviews. I am excited about it.
OT: Aggie, your hair growth and progress is amazing. I was checking out your comparison shots and not only is did you get great growth, but your hair is noticeably thicker and healthier. Congratulations!

Do you have a hooded hair dryer? If not, the steam treaments are fine too. I am waiting for my hair wrap turbans to arrive right now so I can incorporate some steam treatments once a month between my regular DCs.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have not seen those products here in Jamaica yet, but I will look for something with similar ingredients.
ETA: That honeyquat looks interesting where did you get yours.

Nope..I can't find one here and it's too expensive to ship here. Planning on getting one this summer and just having it as part of my luggage.

I had to peep in here real quick and say hellllllllllllllllllllllllloooo 
Hoping all the hair chicas/cousins are doing well with their goals and prepping for the infamous summer spurt.
I thought about you guys as I slapped some conditioner on my hair earlier....it's still marinating...will wash out in a few hours.
confession...I realized that I am 8 weeks post touch up today...
since I've been running around looking for a place and moving these past two months..I've done nothing extra with my hair...
condition wash and/or deep condition, air dry, lightly moisturize, slap on a wig. Literally, that's all I've done for two months.
My hair looks like Buckwheat jr. and the next month is looking pretty low mani as well...but the conditioning will always take place each week..
*waiting to see how my head is gonna look come touch up time...*

I'm in Aggie girl. Put me up on that list!!! I was dc-ing so 2-3 times a week from September to December but I was advised that I was manipulating my hair too much. Duhh, I know better now.
So I am trying to find a DC without ANY protein in it. I bought Redken All Soft Heavy Cream. Its just alright. It didn't wow me with that uber butter feeling. But shoot I spent $17 on it so I's gone use it up.

I just bought this too and I feel the same way. I expected so much more. I actually like my ORS pak more than the Redken.

Hey hair twin, how you doin' girlie? Haven't seen for a minute, how's the moving coming on? Well at least you have been doing something to your hair and not totally neglecting it. Good to hear from you in any case.

I read a couple of great reviews yesterday on the Paul Mitchell Super Charged Moisturizer in another thread. What excited me was when they said it works like Mizani Moisturefuse and that excited me as I am always looking for great water-based DC's. That's now on my wish list for my next DC purchase. I will buy it small just in case. If my hair likes it, I'll re-order a large bottle of it. I think I'll take a closer look at the PM moisture line of products while I'm at it.

oooh I love this stuff, the tingling feeling is amazing. It works well when used properly and as intended. I still follow this with a moisture-rich deep conditioner because it makes your hair a little hard because it strengthens the hair this way. I have the complete set the conditioner, the dew and the lotion creme moisturizer, all nice IMO. The dew is great when misted on hair before using a flat iron for shine and smoothing the cuticles. I like the lotion moisturizer because it has no protein in it and best used after a protein treatment to provide suppleness in the hair. This line of products is definitely one of my staples. I bought the small complete pack from www.honeyfig.com to try it out first, now I have to re-order the large set

Well as for my update, I co-washed using my special ayurveda mix in my fotki and here is the link to it: http://public.fotki.com/LadyAggie/my-product-lists/agathas-recipe-corn/agathasayurvedacowa.html This is the softest my hair has ever been after a co-wash - seriously.
Now because I'm in the OCT/Mega Tek Challenge as well, after washing it out, I shampooed with my MT premier shampoo first and added MT creme rinse together and rinse out. Then followed by some diluted Nutrine garlic poo and conditioner.
I deep conditioned with Alter Ego garlic treatment mixed with some MT avocado mist and honeyquat - I never detangleded until washing out the AE garlic treatment and I only had about 4 hairs in the comb. My hair was soft the whole time.
I want to encourage those who haven't gotten one yet, to go out and get a Sprite HOC shower filter, seriously, this filter is awesome. My water is sooooo soft now and my hair is loving me for purchasing it.
ETA: See reviews on the different types of filters and also you'll see that the Sprite is the best model thus far: http://home.roadrunner.com/~reviewguy/shower_filter_test_results.html

I will look into this because the water where I live in Miami is very hard. Thanks for the info.

Yeah I am looking for super slip to the point when I rub my hair I don't recognize it and or I start to pet myselfI just bought this too and I feel the same way. I expected so much more. I actually like my ORS pak more than the Redken.
I have the Paul Mitchel Super Charged but it has soy protein as the fourth ingredient and I am avoiding protein all together. Since you are doing the OCT challenge, I would keep up with what you have. Wait to buy it, and it's just ok to me. I used it a co-wash. The PM Detangler provided me with more slip and it's not even a DC.

DC'd overnight with ORS Hair Mayonnaise. I also recently bought a Denman brush...I liked how it felt on my scalp, but I'm going to monitor it to see if I get excess shedding.

I think that would be fine as Mizani Moisturefuse and my Kenra moisturizing conditioners also have some protein in it but it's a very mild and moisturizing type of protein (hydrolyed wheat protein) which our hair actually needs. So I don't mind it so much as long as the moisture level supercedes and overpowers the protein level
. So you say that the Detangler is better huh? Okay, I may have to revisit my decision on these. Anyway, for right now, my Pantene R/N hair conditioning mask and my Alter Ego garlic treatment as far as I know do not contain protein. My hair really loves them. Thanks for the review tt8. You just saved me from spending some cash needlessly.

erplexed I had no idea that I needed wheat protien. I am gonna go back and get my Kenra mask girl. I thought I had to avoid protein all together but it just needs to be wheat protein and not the first three or so of ingredients?
