I deep condition twice a week overnight with Elasta DPR11 and sometimes if I don't have anything to do on the weekend I would deep condition for five to six hours. I added silk protein to my condition mix, on saturdays I rinse and then condition with hello hydration. I restarted using red palm butter again on my ends. I love how my hair comes out in the morning when I do that. I basicallyl wear my hair in a pony puff every day its very seldom I do anything else to it. Its my preferred style. only somedays I twist and then untwist it and others I wear it very curly and other days normal. My hair is in great condition. I haven't seen any new growth and its been a month of using it and several months of using Ovations. I am not discouraged I am pushing onward. I hope by atleast Christmas it will be armpit.

Question...please aswer ya'll, last time my question didn't get answered, but i was wondering...when ya'll get preggos, do ya'll continue ur reggie. I used to get on about doing my hair w/ my first preggs so I started to let a friend keep me in braids but now I just found out today I scored a + on my hpt so I'm wonder what will my upcoming months will be like for my hair. I'm asking here b/c my dc day get's most of my time when it comes to my hair.
TIA...
Congratulations!! I was pregnant back to back a few years ago. (My kids are 10 months apart). I had to go on bedrest in the hospital for several months with the first. So, I had braids put in for 3 months. Unfortunately, no washing, Dcing or anything. My hair grew a lot though. Next pregnancy, right after the first one, I was in braids for the first trimester and washed biweekly. Then I relaxed in the second trimester. Washed and dc'd biweekly at the salon for the whole second pregnancy. HTH.

thanks for your honesty aggie
, and thank you miami74
for answering. b4 reading this post, earlier i literally sat in the shower and cow my hair w/ comb and put some curls whipped cream on and a hair scarf. i do have an african braider's number who does a natural's braids (some baaaad braids)...i'm a little reluctant to go to her b/c of other folks ruffness. my delimma for my dc's and cow are the fact that there are no salons out here for women...okay except one, on my compound, but i DARE NOT let these women come near my hair b/c they don't do afro type hair. thet touch our hair like their scared of it and it's not cool...maybe i can get my hubby to do it...tee hee!

Hey Aggie,
I need a little help. I don't want to manipulate my hair so much, so I was wondering if I could switch up my routine. I want to DC on dry hair with heat for an hour/bun it and be done. Then the next day wash it out with ovation system and dc on wet hair. Do you think I will still get the benefits from the challenge or is it too much.

Yes I agree with JK, as long as you're DCing that should be fine as long as you don't intend to do this everyday, then that would be too much manipulation.

New to the challege. Hey everyone....
I DCed on Sunday night with ORS OLIVE OIL PAK. I DCed last night with REDKEN DEEP FUEL for damaged hair (my ends were fried from using an at home colour - Natural Instincts 6 months ago, a major setback!
) and I am trimming the ends of slowly. My hair has never felt like this before: soft, moisturized, silky, and I highly recommend it... I am texturized about 4 -6 inches now. Will get help to post pic.

thank you! i'm pretty sure the extra DCing has something to do with it...my hair doesn't feel nearly as dry as it used to.

You're welcomed.
Now my DC update: I hennnaed and indigoed my hair today and I must say it was a long day for me. Indigo is haarrrrd to apply but I did it right this time and it came out superb. I love the results a lot. My henna and indigo regiments are in my fotki if anyone wants to check it out. Next time though I think I will mix them together instead of applying them separately - it takes tooooooo long.
Now I'm sitting under my hooded dryer with some of my beloved Kenra MC, some Kenra Volumizing Conditioner and some heated virgin coconut oil on my hair. Smells quite yummy. I will DC for a while, maybe 2 hours tonight before going to bed.

Hi Ladies,
Well I DC'd last night. I found the Alter Ego energizing and rebalacing, and I have to say it was
. I switched up my products. CVS has Pantene 3 for 10 so I purchased the clarifying shampoo, moisturizing hair rinse and the detangler. With this wash I used them all. I did one wash with the Pantene clarifying shampoo, and washed once with KeraCare Hydrating shampoo..after that I use Apogee 2 min, and slapped on the Alter Ego rebalancing condish with my heat cap for 1 hour. After I rinsed it out, I used the Pantene moisturizing rinse that says leave on for 3 min, but I left mine on for 5. Washed out applied my Lacio Lacio and the Pantene detangler, roller set and let the roller set air dry. When I was done my curls were bouncy and behavin. I loved the curls so much that I went all day with just the curls from the set, something that I never do.
So overall the alter ego will be added to my staple list, both the rebalincing masque and the hot oil.
