:lol: I bought some new stuff I saw in the health food store. I only bought the sample size for like 2bucks. Its a neem conditioner for dry irritated scalps and it actually smells really good. If it works alright, I will buy a bigger bottle later.
 
I shampood with Porosity Control, and I'm sitting under the dryer dc'ing with the Fortifying Masque from shescentit. I'm gonna condition for an hour :yep:

Ummm....somebody tell me if I'm wrong....:look:...but that sounds like a lot of protein being used...which may have led to the dry, hard feeling after using.

You definitely need something that would provide a balance of moisture to your strands after using those two products.

I agree! That biotin conditioner doesn't sound like the best thing top follow-up Aphogee with. What conditioners are you using to co wash?

Girl, get you some Kenra MC! That stuff is the truf! :yep: :grin:

ITA with MonaLisa, this really is too much protein. You need to increase your moisture and put down the protein conditioners for at least a couple of weeks. You may need to baggy 2 or 3 nights a week as well until the moisture balance and elasticity is restored.
 
I've been deep conditioning 2x a week sometimes 3 times. I deep conditioned last night with Nexxus Humectress. 1hour.

I ran out of Keracare Humecto which i love so much. anyway so far so good.
 
hey i fell off a bit but i'll be back dc'n on jun 1st...unless i get my order in b4 hand. i've been running out of conditioner.
 
Hi Aggie~ I sent you a PM…. I’m a late bloomer BUT count me in. I’m also signed up for the cowash challenge so this will fit right in. My question is how much condish do you use? B/C I can use up a cheapie condish in about a week, week and a half. :ohwell:

This is definitely a challenge I can do. I do this already, but had a minor trim set back so I'm focused on length as much as health. I'll post some new starting pics soon.:yep:
 
YES FINALLY I AM DONE WITH ALL MY IB AND AP EXAMS.
woo. now to pamper my hurr :yep:

So i may do an overnight prepoo with some oils incorporating avocado oil in the mix just to try it out..then tomorrow i'm washing and dcing with conditioner plus coconut milk and some other goodies :D
Hm i should probably make my coconut milk today so it can be nice and fresh tomorrow :lick:

A week and a half is about right for me too.
 
I am right now DC-ing with some Schwarzkopf professional bonacure Repair treatment that a friend gave me, some Biolage professional Hydratherapie Cera-Repair treatment, and a little UBH conditioner on dry hair to soak it right up real good. I'll keep this on for about 30-40 minutes tonight and wash out before bed.

When I'm cowashing, I can easy go through a thing of cheapie con (16 oz? 14? ) in a week - assuming I'm CW'ing 3 days a week.

When I DC - :look: I measured, and I usually use ABOUT 10-12 oz of whatever it is I'm using. My hair is THIRSTY - which is why I almost always mix the really 'good' stuff with a cheapie - otherwise, the pocketbook, she would be in trouble.

DANNNG to the bolded! Wow I'm assuming it's because your hair is uber thick! More power to ya girl! Just another excuse to become a conditioner/product junkie :drunk:
 
DCed last night with hair mayo, then Mizani moisturefuse. I was checking out these handmade products today....The name is Oyin, Oh WOW, this stuff looks good for my TWA. I am gonna have to see if they have a DCing Condish. I will be stalking the Qhemet site as well. Anyone used these products before?
 
I did a homemade caramel treatment for the first time last night. I don't see what's so great about it. :sad: Then I followed with Elasta QP DPR-11 overnight. :lick:
 
I DC'd with Phyto Organics Balsama Mudd/Nexxus Color Ensure (I don't have color but I love the smell of that stuff) overnight. I'm going to wash it out and bun it today.
 
Last night I DC'd with Queen Helene Cholesterol & Doo Gro Deep Down Intense Conditioner mixed with 2 tsp of coconut milk, honey and JBCO. Stayed under the dryer for 45 min with a steam towel wrap.
 
so i haven't DC'd since tuesday...that whole hair breaking fiasco threw me off, so i am bunning till sunday so i don't have to think about it. but i did want to share - i went to trade secret looking for the kenra deal and the sabino moisture block. the chick had never heard of MB so i didn't get that but i DID get two liters of kenra mc! the pj in me is soooo happy right now.

i got a hair compliment too that i'm gonna chalk up to DCing and baggying - i've been dragging my mom through the stuff i learned on LHCF and while she laughs at some stuff, like the OCM/ACV skin combo, i caught her staring at my ponytail the other day, then she was all "wow, your hair looks really good" - i flat ironed my hair, then baggied for the first time with some BB castor oil moisturizer (that stuff is really good, i can't believe it has been hiding in my closet all this time). i felt all warm and fuzzy.

so yeah, can't wait to use that kenra this weekend with my new john frieda color glazes.

Oh lilsparkle, I am so happy you are getting your hair back to normal honey. Keep it up so we can hear some more of your success stories.
 
Can you still be on the challenge if you deep condition for less than an hour? I found my staple DC ( MOP Extreme Moisture mixed w/ orchid complex, shealoe, castor oil, SAA, Coconut Oil and Hibiscus), but it makes my hair mushy if I moisturize for too long.
