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

Okay ladies, I see everyone is having great success so far with deep conditioning and I think I actually have a lot fun myself. I eagerly look forward to my deep conditioning days like a little child with a new toy:grin:.

Today, I did my famous ayurveda co-wash for about an hour and a half, washed it out with some CON ultra moisturizing poo, then I mixed up a concoction of Elasta QP DPR-11, Loreal Mega Moisture conditioner, and a little hot almond oil and some fenugreek tea for slip. This mixture has been on my hair now for 45 minutes and I will be washing it out in another 30 minutes or so. I usually DC longer and co-wash often on days following my henna treatments for obvious reasons. I'll update on the results after I wash it out.
 
Just finished washing my hair with con and I'm now dcing with ORS pak. Not using heat to dc because its just too hot for all that! I am going to dc without heat for about 3 hours, then follow up with a HE hello hydration and mizani moisturefuse combo.
 
Today I'm going to dc with Proclaim Aloe&Shea mixed with hempseed butter, avocado butter, shea butter, avocado oil, and aloe oil.
 
Hi ladies. I prepoo overnight with Lustrasilk Shea Butter Plus Cholesterol mixed with coconut milk, JBCO, coconut oil, olive oil, honey. This morning I shampooed with Godrej Shikakai 3 in 1 soap bar and did a quick ACV rinse. I DC'd with Silicon Mix mixed with JBCO, coconut oil & honey, for 45 min under the dryer in the steam towel wrap. Airdried in a rollerset.

Okay I promised that I would update on how my hair would respond to the above concoction and here it is:

The Elasta QP DPR 11 - I realized does not have any water in the ingredients list and I don't know why unless it's under a scientific name that I don't recognize - came out really well with the hot almond oil, fenugreek tea (acted as my water) and the Loreal mega moisture conditioner.

My hair was surprisingly very soft after rinsing it out. Thing is I could still smell the fenugreek tea, so I rinsed the smell out with some cheap v05 conditioner and it's great again, smell and all. I especially like the slip my hair has right now, WOO HOO!!!.

i will have to try this minus the coconut milk and oil and using regular castor oil. i am always looking for new things to add to my lustrasilk, even though i cannot buy anything new this month.

but once july comes...i'm on JBCO and coconut oil like the cops on rodney king.

Redken Real Control line:

Conditioner: Its made with Shea Butter and kind of takes on that smell (which I really like). It's super creamy and smooth and doesn't require a whole lot in order to coat the hair. I was able to easily finger comb my hair once it was in. My hair is dry now and its still really soft...my ends feel as soft as my roots do, and thats not normally the case. 100% Shea butter is one of my staples that normally works really well for my hair, so I guess this is also the case in a conditioner. To be honest, its a problem because I can't keep my hands out of my hair. I keep squishing my curly afro puff ponytail because its so soft and spongy. At first I was thinking that there was no huge difference compared to the All-Soft line, but now that its dry I see that there it a little extra umph (they had us 3/4's in mind). The ingredients are as follows:

Aqua/water, cetearyl alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Amodimethicone, cetyl esters, Parfum/fragrance, Methlparaven, Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 Methicone, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Shea Butter, Trideceth-6, Benzyl Salicylate, Chlorhexidine Dihyro-Chloride, Butylphenyl Methlpropional, Poloxamer 407, Dodecene, Linalool, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Cetrimonium Chloride, Wheat Amino Acids, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Limonene, 2-Cleamindo-1,3-Octadecanediol,Citronellol, Oleth-10, Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate, Lecithin

I have no idea what these ingredients mean...so I'll wait to hear from some of my hair big sisters.

Real Control Intense Renewal:

I parted my hair and slathered it on like I was putting on a virgin relaxer (sorry, I was excited to get this new product). I then slept in it overnight with a baggie on my head. When I washed it out I got decent slip, but moreso, I noticed how little hair shed and how defined my curls were.

Ingredients: Aqua/water, Cetearyl alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, PEG-180, Candelilla Cera/Candelilla Wax, Amodimethicone, Cetyl Esters, Parfum/Fragrance, Methylparaven, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Trideceth-6, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Shea Butter, Benzyl Salicylate, Chlorhexidine Dihyrochloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, PPG-5-ceteth-20, Wheat Amino Acids, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Limonene, 2-Oleamido-1, 3-Octadecanediol, Citronellol, Oleth-10, Disodium Cocoamphdipropinate, Lecithin

HTH Ladies. :grin: Please let me know if I'm putting poison in my hair

Thanks for posting. Yeah, I am going to have to find it. My hair loves products with amodimethicone in it. The fragrance is a little high on the ingredient list but I will still try it out.

I've been a mixologist since a year ago lol but i only used castor oil, coconut oil, honey, and EVOO. So i wanted to try some new ingredients. Right now i'm LOVING the hempseed/avocado/shea butter mix it's GREAT my hair is so soft and moisturized! I'm not really wowed by the sweet almond, shealoe, or aloe though..and the mango butter is soo gritty that if i don't melt it completely i get pieces stuck in my hair, which isn't nice :nono:
 
This past week I d/c'ed with

1. Pantene Relaxed & Natural Breakage Defense Mask (name?) for 30 min with plastic cap and heated towel

2. Frizz Ease Critical Repair conditioner for 30 min with plastic cap and 30 min with plastic cap and heated towel


Let's grow ladies :yep:

Way ta stretch Mona. I am only gonna be stretching about 10-12 weeks from now on - my hair is growing too fast now to stretch my relaxer any longer than that.

I'm laughing to myself a little because this is the least attention I have paid my hair in over four years. I feel in the back of my mind that I should be doing more, but I just don't have it in me or the time to do so right now:ohwell:.

I do miss just surfing the board, mixing up stuff and chilling under the dryer - hopefully in a few weeks I can get back to that :ohwell: Y'all be talkin bout stuff and I can't keep up no mo...:nono:

:lol:

I'll have to save my Aphogee treatment to next weekend...

And don't think I didn't peep the siggy pics purty lady!
G'won island divaaaaaaaaaa...:grin:
 
DC'd tonight with Alter Ego Energizing & Rebalancing cream for 60 minutes, rinsed and will overnight with a KeraCare Humecto mix.

ew. i heard people say that about bananas...i dont want birds or bugs circling me like i'm in season or something. i use castor oil and EVOO...i got some shea butter and whipped it with some oils (love it), thats about as fancy as i get. i also have some honey i bought but haven't figured out to put it in yet, so i will probably add it to my DC on tues or wed. thats quite an idea...maybe i will buy an avocado! see look at you, inspiring the feeble masses.

oh yeah, your blog rocks. i sat here for quite some time reading it.

Hi Ladies...I'm preparing to relax later this week so last night I prepoo'd/clarified with a Suave Humectant and Baking soda mix (applied like a relaxer)...did a protein treatment with Ultra Sheen Duo Tex and DC'd with CON Nourishing Conditioner.

My hair felt clean, strong and moisturized.
 
Okay I know I said that I'd wait until at least 10 weeks to relax but this morning I got up and got the urge to relax this extremely under-processed hair of mine after only 4 weeks. My new growth was not behaving and I was having a little bit of breakage from the last relaxer which I didn't keep in long enough.

Well my hair is now relaxed and appears as though I did a far better job this time. I am now sitting under my dryer with some Mizani Moisturefuse deep conditioner on my hair for about 45 minutes. I'll update after I wash out the DC letting you know for sure how the relaxer came out. I gatta admit, I'm excited.
 
aggie: i'm going to take a break from dc'n..i'll post on monday when i'll come back to dc again, i have to sit in bed and not move until my next doc's visit...monday morning.

ya'll do a c for me:grin:
