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

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?

Aphogee treatment. or UBH 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.
 
My Alter Ego just got here!!! :yay:

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? :look:

Yep! Worked great. I rolled it on rollers and let it air dry over night. My hair was very soft and didn't frizz.
 
:yay: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 :yay:. 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!
 
I used the Alter Ego. It mousturized a little, but made my hair tangley :cry3: 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 :eek: 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?
 
Very Nice Aggie!

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

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.

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 :yep:
 
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.
 
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!!

girl, if your hair doesn't need a trim i say don't get it until bsl...i'm loving your length...keep it up!
 
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 :drunk:
teehee yesss i inspire product junkie creation muwahaha :evilbanana:
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.
 
DC with NTM (30 under dryer) & Aphogee 2 min treatment (for 10 min) on 6/3 and 6/8

Those who use the ORS Moisture Replenishing pak, how much of the pack do you use for one dc?
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.
 
Your hair is so nice Aggie!!:yep:
Checking in I am dcing now with heat.

Sat under the dryer for 20 mins with a mixture of Kera Care Humecto Creme and Mizani Moisturefuse Moisturizing Conditioners. Now I am sitting under my new hair steamer for 30 mins.
