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

[lilsparkle825]

just finished multitasking...used the time it took to take out my sister's yarn twists (2 hours) to DC with kenra mc, no heat. currently banding my hair.

 

[sevetlana]

DC'ed on Sunday, will be doing it again on Saturday night.

 

[Silver]

I started deep conditioning again. I deep conditioned last night, using a phyto organics humectin and a heating cap (braids removed). My hair felt great, and really moisturized, with no breakage. But then I tried a henna mix for the first time and it hardened my hair and I got breakage, but way less than normal.

Washed today with Alterna Hemp Shine poo then dc'd with shescentit's olive and orange conditioner sealed with JBCO. My hair was pretty tangley after rinsing, so I co washed with Tresemme Smooth & Silky. Used a litte bit of Smooth & Silky as a leave in, sealed with Fantasia IC's Olive Oil Serum and threw my hair back in a bun

I was lazy and didn't feel like pre pooing before washing. I noticed a huge difference when I shampood without pre pooing with Jehan oil first. My hair was dry and hard after shampooing. I won't be doing that again

 

[tycoles]

I am DCing right now th motion CPR. I used the ORS pak first, with heat for 20 minutes, but decided to go ahead and try the motions too.

tiffers what's in the jehan pre-poo oil? My hair is feeling hard/dry after shampooing even with me pre-pooing with a co/oil. I plan on changing the water filter this week once I purchase a new placement and see how that works.

 

[youwillrise]

i'm going to put twists in my hair tonight

i'll still be dc'ing in the twists because even when i'm in protectives...i cant help myself lol

i think i'll try to leave these in for 2 weeks?

Tiffers, thanks for biggin the Jehan pre poo oil up. I purchase it have used it twice and am really liking how my hair has been turning out. It's been helping with the shine and when I'm done with my hair it's nicely moisturized and smooth.

 

[25Nona]

Dcing right now. I first used Mizani Chelating shampoo, i needed to do it after my relaxer a week ago. This wash I deviated from my belove Nacidit mix and used Alter Ego hot oil treatment with garlic. (I fault gym for this one, she talked about the energizing mask so much that I went in search for it, but could not find it, I had the hot oil treatment on my long to buy list, the last store I went it had the large container on sale for 23 bucks so I caved, as you can see I have no will power ). I sitting with it now. I have to admit, my hair felt wonderful when I put it on, so I probably sit with it over night and wash out in the morning with KeraCare hydrating poo sit with Humecto for about an hour wash and then set. (fingers crossed)

I get it from www.shescentit.com and it's the best! I've tried pre pooing with olive, coconut, rice bran, castor, Hot 6, amla and more. None of them worked.

Jehan is just so wonderful! It keeps my hair lubricated and moisturized and easy to detangle. It also makes my newgrowth more managable, and I have less breakage now that I've been using it for a few weeks. On top of all that, the smell is fantastic!

Since you have hard water, have you tried using a chelating shampoo? That might help

 

[moonglowdiva]

I d/c with a mixture of:
ORS Replenishing Pak
generic humectress
queen helene cholesterol & hot oil treatment
I sat under a hooded dryer for 30 minutes. I am very pleased with this combination. It works for me.

I'm so happy you like it!

I really am in love with this oil! It helps so much with moisture retention, shine, managability.... And it just keeps getting better the longer you use it

 

[Seraphina]

I've been following the challenge, but I keep forgetting to check in. So, I was supposed to go out tonight, but I'm sick, so I'm sitting here with ORS Replenishing Pak and Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol. It's been on about an hour and a half. I'd love to keep it in overnight, but nothing ever stays on my head, so it'd be a mess.

 

[Moisture2608]

Today, I pre -pooed with a castor-olive-coconut oil mix. Then, I washed with Aritha hair soap. I lathered and rinsed twice. Then, I applied some Amla oil and Vatika oil and and put some UBH conditioner on. I sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes. Then, I rinsed and put on some Nexxus Humectress moisturizing conditioner. I sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes. My hair is very, very soft!

 

[Aggie]

I did a hardcore aphogee treatmet today, firstly because I hadn't done one in several months and secondly because I am also in the co-wash and steam conditioning challenges that are keeping my hair super soft but now I want to add some more strength to it to keep my demarcation line strong. I only slowed down on using the hardcore aphogee because of the Mega Tek challenge I'm in.

I followed the aphogee treatment with a liberal amount of Pantene R/N hair caonditioning mask and now I'm deep conditioning under my hooded dryer for an hour.

 

[Mrs. Verde]

DC'd last night with a mixer of Nacidit Olive Oil and cholesterol conditioners.

 

[yodie]

DC'd today with castor oil and Panetene Nourishing Nourir.

YUMMY!!

man these were my staples before i found kenra mc.
feel better soon!

 

[miami74]

Hi ladies. I DC'd today with ORS Replenishing pak mixed with coconut milk, honey, JBCO and a few drops of rosemary oil. I did that for about an hour. Then I followed with Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol for about 20 min. I'm airdrying now in a rollerset.

 

[myronnie]

Prepooing with ORS Mayo mixed with aloe vera oil and castor oil for about an hour then Dc'ing with Proclaim Aloe&Shea mixed with mango butter, aloe vera gel, and avocado oil.

I want to use sweet almond butter but for some reason i keep gravitating towards hempseed, mango, shea, and avocado...hmmm

 

[IntoMyhair]

Dcing with herbal essences LTR with evoo on top with out heat until 10pm . Than just rinsing and letting hair air dry for my weekly bun. Putting in ntm mask as my leave in than coconut oil to seal it all in.

My next DC day will be either tuesday or wednesday than again on sunday. I think i will use some protein sunday. I will more than likely do a full condition wash than Dc on sunday. I am also thinking of detangling only once a week.

 

[Mandy4610]

DCed today. ORS mayo for about 2hrs without heat. Oil treatment 30min and DCed again with heat for 45min with Keracare Humecto. I hope I did not do too much. My hair feels good, so I guess it's ok, we will see.

 

[JerriBlank]

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.

What's all that? That sounds supa good!!!!
I know about the other stuff,but the other ones are new to me?
Where do you get that and what does it do?

Okay i have to confess that i fell off of this...the reason?
I got me some OJON!!!!!!!!
It says that it is a treatment that worke like a dc,but you shampoo it out.
My hair has been feeling so good that i can't bring myself to shampoo it out

I just leave it one for a full day or two,rinse or shampoo,slap some elasta qp fortifying conditioner(this is soooo good,esp. for the price) on there,might get under the dryer,might not,lightweight rinse it out,and start all over again

I don't know if i am doing too much,but i keep this treatment on my hair do your hear me??
I want to slow up because i don't want my hair to act up and start hating it,but it makes my hair feel super good!

 

[DivaD04]

I did that too!

So Dr. M has a purpose after all!

I dc'd this morning for an hour w/ my mn co this moring.
JK, do u like ur steam cap? Girl, I get to caught up being online or watching tv to keep it on for only 15 min. shoot 45-60 min. can go by so quickly. i would always say, ok i'm going to take my cap off and time would just fly.

That is a good idea. I've been holding off on doing any protein DCs since I did the henna 2 weeks ago, but I haven't done any type of protein treatment since I relaxed 4 weeks ago. How soon after henna would it be safe to do so? I don't really have much breakage, but I am shedding a little, so I'm assuming it's normal.

 

[JustKiya]

DC'd this weekend with a slightly more protein mix than usual under my new heat cap! I forgot to get the plastic gloves, so my towels weren't as steamy as they should have been, so I can't weigh in on the steamy bit yet. I do have to say though, that my ends felt like the REST of my hair for once, instead of feeling a little drier/crunchier than the rest. So, that was pretty impressive.
I'll have to scoop up some cleaning gloves at the grocery store today.
