Im getting my hair braided on Tuesday(hopefully) just some simple cornrows w/extensions and i would like to continue on this challenge. Any ladies with braids? If so whats your regi???

I wore braids for 8 weeks the Crown & Glory way from www.growafrohairlong.com. I did tweak it a little though by putting diluted DC on my hair and braids using a sponge and cover with a plastic cap and DC with heat for 1 hour. Sometimes I got lazy and slept with the DC in my hair overnight and wash the following morning. I would run a little water over it to remove the DC in the shower and allow to air dry. I only did this once a week to every 10 days though because I didn't want it to fuzz up too quickly. I did keep up with my moisturizing every day.

Thanks for adding me to the list! I've deep conditioned my hair for the past month and a half. I've used Mane n Tail conditioner, cantu shea butter and garnier frutis (i had some product to get rid of before i can buy anymore lol) my hair loves this stuff. I recently flat ironed my hair (avatar) to check for length and its grown about 1.5 inches since last month. So i'm gonna keep this up and start using Claudies Hair Revitalizer Gro Elixir and see what happens!

I'm a deep conditioner hog and you ladies are naming all these great DC's and my wish list is getting longer and longer. I don't know if I can resist much longer. Now it seem I want everything "Redken" and "Giovanni". I don't own anything in these two brands but now I want them.

***Covers eyes with both hands*** "Don't look Aggie, don't look".

DCing now with my trusty alter ego. I will also add other alternatives to the list as well.

How far into this do you guys usually do a protein treatment?

Well on normal circumstances for me, I'd do a light 20 minute protein treatment once a week with aphogee 2 minute or AtOne reconstructor, followed by a moisturizing DC for 45 minutes. I am currently in the Mega Tek challenge and I henna my hair now so I don't need to use protein quite as often anymore. Once every 3-4 weeks is sufficient for me for now. I don't even need the hardcore protein like I did before either.

Hello ladies~ I DC’ed Friday night w/ Sally’s generic brand of Nexus w/ a little coconut oil and evoo (hot oil treatment) I baggied overnight w/ my hair in braids.

I had a feeling tiffers, lol. I couldn't believe you were dc-ing your hair 5 days a week. You and I and a few others here are all in the co-wash challenge for 4 months as well.

Hi Janelle,
Which alter ego dc are you using? I'm thinking about buying one.


Also, is it alright if I join this challenge? I need all the help I can get right now. I'm getting length but I am not liking the health of my hair right now. It looks horrible to me. I am currently dcing with NTM deep conditioner.

ETA
i'll be dcing for 60 mins.

 

[youwillrise]

hey there lovelies.

i dc'ed last night

i 've decided to test out daily dc'ing to see where it takes me.

(or if it takes me anywhere at all haha)

I believe she's using the alter ego energizing treatment but I'm not sure. I use the alter ego garlic treatment and it's quite yummy to say the least.

By the way, welcome to the challenge, I'll add you in right now.

 

[ebzonix]

hey girlie!!!! what's poppin!
i just remember u and ur cute purple hair

hay! I was wondering where you'd run off too! Yeah, I'm kind of late, but I'm touchin up my color for prom. You already know about that situation, but man has your hair grown. Been doing the DCing for too long?

 

[Aggie]

Time to update again, today I felt like my hair had a little build up in it from all the co-washing and decided to clarify my hair with Mizani Puriphyl shampoo mixed with a little Mega Tek Premier poo and creme rinse, washed out, then pooed lightly with some diluted garlic poo.

I washed that out and now I am Steam DC-ing with Pantene R/N hair conditioning mask, mixed ith some Biolage cera-repair fortetherapie treatment and virgin organic unrefined coconut oil. I will Steam DC tonight for about 30 minutes with heat under my hooded dryer. I'll update on the results later.

ETA: I Steam DC-ed for 1 hour instead of 30 minutes and my hair is finally done. I must say that my hair really was steaming hot and some of the steamy hot water from the turbies was starting to come from under my cap and down my back. Next time I'll wring it out a little more. I love it a lot. My hair really is very soft, thank you SJ for this at-home steam treatment. This is the perfect DC for an after henna treatment. Now I'm air drying with cool air from my hooded dryer before going to bed.
