[bravenewgirl87]

I feel off ladies. But, I'm back in the game. My hair need protein more than anything now bc of the challenge. Anyone has a recommendation for a strong protein conditioner?

ITA with Shinka and also you could try Nexxus Emergencee. Nexxus Emergencee and Aphogee 2 Step treatment for damaged hair are hardcore proteins. The UBH is a moderate strength protein.

As a side note, I incorporate some protein treatments throughout my moisturizing deep conditioning sessions, for example, once a week I would use a mild protein treatment like Aphogee 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor, but since starting the OCT/MT challenge, I barely had a need to do them so I would do a mild one every 2-3 weeks instead now. I also henna my hair every 3-4 weeks and that provides some strengthening for my hair as well.

Our hair needs some protein so I would recommend that you incorporate them on an 'as needed' basis, okay? Some ladies hair is sensitive to protein and usually would pre-poo with a mild protein conditioner instead of using it as a DC. HTH.

I like Nexxus Emergence for hard core
and Motions CPR for moderate

My Alter Ego just got here!!!

Gym, did you ever use it as a leave in?

The kids are still wide awake, so I'm gonna tell them to stay in their room and play and watch cartoons so I can wash my hair. No problem with that, right?

Yep! Worked great. I rolled it on rollers and let it air dry over night. My hair was very soft and didn't frizz.

Okay ladies, I promised that I would update on how my relaxer turned out well here's a pic of it:

I think it grew some more ladies . I'm in need of a trim, but heck my hair grew and I'm happy with that. Oh I did a corrective on the texlaxer I had during my last relaxer session and now my hair is regular relaxed again.

Very Nice Aggie!

You think, I KNOW it your hair has grown. Excellent progress!!!

 

[tiffers]

I used the Alter Ego. It mousturized a little, but made my hair tangley I soooo wanted this to be THE conditioner for me, I've never read a bad review about it, so OF COURSE it would have to be all stupid in my hair. My hair always acts so stupid! Argh!

After I rinsed, I co washed with Tresemme Moisture Rich. Then I sprayed on some Green Grape Mist, put on a little Salerm b5 and rollerset. Sitting under the dryer waiting for my hair to dry

Oh, forgot to add that I dyed my hair today I was incredibly bored, so I decided to switch it up a bit. I used Dark & Lovely Color Flash Mousse in the color Rasperry Yum. It was super easy to apply, but since it's semi-permanant, it didn't lighten my hair all that much. I'll see what color it really is once my hair dries. *sigh* Nothing's going right with my hair today

Lookin good, Aggie! Of COURSE it grew, girl! Looks so soft and healthy! Is that from a rollerset or flatiron?

Thanks GymFreak, Mrs. Verde, and tiffers and it is flat ironed. I don't know how to trim my own hair, so I will have to wait for my appointment to see my stylist next month. I will have to cancel the relaxer appointment and just make it a trim and style only appt.

Are you clarifying your hair more tiffers. The co-wash challenge has me clarifying my hair more often and using my ACV rinse/Citric Acid rinse more (recipe is in my fotki) often to correct the pH of my hair and remove build-up. Whenever my hair isn't behaving, it's often due to excess build-up.

 

[sevetlana]

Your hair is so nice Aggie!!
Checking in I am dcing now with heat.

Is it possible that your hair was tangled from the color?
I did a rinse once and my hair was just a tangled mess afterwards. Maybe next time the condish will work better.

Your hair is looking good Aggie

DC'd Sunday with Keracare MC for 30 mins. I used a new leave-in added coconut oil... twisted my hair to airdry... put on my satin cap and went to bed.

 

[bbdgirl]

DC with Joico daily moisturizer. Ewww...I don'tthink that I will use again or repurchase. I will be trying to give this away. I am sure it is a good DC but my hair felt very strange, stiff, and weird.
Anyway I rinsed that out and then clairified and co-washed with Garnier Moisture works. my hair felt soft after that, and I airdried after applying Giovanni Direct leave in, Garnier length and strength leave in and sebastians potion #9. I applied cocnut oil allover for the shine and
I sealed the ends with castor oil and elast qp mango butter. No more frizzies and my hair so soft and supple and shiny!!

Go Aggie!!! Your hair is growing at the speed of a runaway freight train

 

[myronnie]

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.

awww thnx for the compliment about my blog!! That really makes me happy
teehee yesss i inspire product junkie creation muwahaha
Ive used bananas before and i suggest never using whole bananas because i got so many pieces stuck in my hair..but my hair was moisturized
the honey i put in my dcs a couple of squirts does it.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

DC'd last nite w/ Aveda DR (big ups to my cuzzo Brownie!!!) for 40 mins while working out.

 

[missnurselady]

Those who use the ORS Moisture Replenishing pak, how much of the pack do you use for one dc?

 

[lilsparkle825]

the whole one.

i did a short DC last night with honey, EVOO, castor oil and herbal oil...i think next time i will heat the honey cause i had a sticky mess on my hands, literally. when i washed it out my hair was kinda tangly but i think thats just cause i havent done anything to my hair since i washed it two days ago.
