I really couldn't you tell you if this is truly effective as a deep conditioner. I think that it may dry out and not penetrate your hair the way it should. The whole idea on wearing that plastic cap is to keep in moisture for the duration of the DC, but then this is just my opinion. If I was to do something like this, I would wear a plastic cap under a wig tightened to capacity and go for it but I don't know if you wear wigs.

^^^Aggie, I've done the same thing. Worked out with a plastic cap under my wig. I loved it. I felt like I was incognito.

I'm dc-ing as I type with Kenra Nourishing Masque. I returned my Redken All Soft to Ulta today and tried to find the Real Control cause I wasn't impressed with the AS. Ofcourse they didn't have it so I'm back with the KNM.

How did the Henna Steam Go Down?

I'm henna'ing now, so I most likely won't henna again for at least another three months or so - I'd love to hear how yours turned out, though.

Hey Mz. Kiya... I kept scrolling foward for your henna steam results... I am planning to do on on Friday.... Post your results.....!!!

I was thinking of doing henna with my heating cap and then DCing afterwards with the steam... on second though. I want to use the heat to help the henna penetrate my hair and then a good DC with shea or avocado butter mixed with my Pantene R/N and steam. My hair should have perfect moisture / strength balance after that (guessing)

DC'd last nite w/ Aveda DR w/ a baggie (w/o heat) for 40 mins.

Where do you ladies get your DCs from? Drug store, BSS or order online?

I just got through jotting down some brands from some of the earlier posts, but I went to two nearby BSS's and didn't see anything close to what you ladies use. (The fact that I barely remembered the brand names didn't help much either.) I mentioned the Aubrey Organics to the chick in the store I went to yesterday and you'd think I was speaking another language.

DC today w/a banana, coconut oil, evoo blend for 3hrs. Washed w/ Tresseme condish...Sealed w/ coconut/jojoba oil blend. Hair air drying in chunky twist...Hair feels nice and soft...

[d-rock]

I'm DC'ing tonight! Actually, I've been doing it at least twice a week and co-washing daily the last week. My hair is in love with some conditioner. Last week I used Silk Elements Mega something and Palmers Deep Conditioner and tonight I'm using Creme of Natures DC. The one in the pink bottle.

Hi

Where do I sign up for this challenge, or do I just jump on board.
I have used the apoghee 2 min. reconstructor for the first time last night and placed a cap on and left it on for like 8 min. I thnk it said 5 max.. but my hair felt great.

I washed with Giovanni deep moisture poo.
Then I left on the conditioner, Giovanni con.
made bantu knots and allowed air drying..
sealed with my recipe & biolage hydra seal.

my hair feels great.
Next time I wash .. Imma just do a conditiner wash and deep cond. w/ ors olive oil replenishing pak.

Im scared to use straight olive oil b.c the spray makes my scalp itch something awful.. well see.

My bad, I thought I had!!!

It turned out REALLY nice, actually. My hair felt - hennastrong! - afterwards - I think if I had left it on for another 30 - 45 minutes, I might have actually overdone it.
It definitely 'refreshed' my color (not that you can see it all that well, anyhow) and for sure gave me the henna upgrade in thickness and strength - my hair feels GOOD.
I definitely think I can do this every three months or so, and my hair will be happy.
Have a towel handy, cuz I was leaking hennasteam juice from the back of my neck!

I did follow it up with an overnight baggy (cuz I didn't want my hair to dry out and I didn't feel like dealing with it anymore) and a caramelsteam treatment the next day.

How do you style your hair when you co-wash daily?

It depends on the brand but duane reade (sp), online, BSS, Ulta just off the top of my head are a few places to check. If you googled them online you can see where to buy them. HTH

BSS, or online.

I'd suggest for some of them, you might want to go online, check out their websites, and see if they have a list of retailers.... that might be the easiest way to find new stuff, if the BSS doesn't have it...

Hi, for Aubrey Organics, go to either the Vitamin Shoppe or Whole Foods. If you don't have those in your area, try the nearest organic grocery that sells health and beauty aids as well.

Hi Connie, Are you joining the DC challenge? If you are please pm me and let me know to add you okay?

In answer to your question however, most of the DCs mentioned here are bought online. You can google some of the ones you've jotted down and order them that way. Thereare some that can be found in your BSS store as well. Aubrey Organics can be found at the Vitamin Shoppe or again at online stores.

 

[Aggie]

How do you style your hair when you co-wash daily?

I don't - I wear wigs right over my hair after I'm done co-washing. Try co-washing before going to bed, that may be more practical.

How long did you steam your henna? I'm glad to hear it came out good!!

 

[gymfreak336]

Deep Conditioned with ovation cream rinse and redken butter treat this morning

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I don't - I wear wigs right over my hair after I'm done co-washing. Try co-washing before going to bed, that may be more practical.

Wigs are great that way aren't they? I'll always wear them even after I reach my goal length as protective styling, to give my hair a rest when it needs it... or for when I get too busy to style it up just right.

 

[lilsparkle825]

this thread is crap (not really guys) cause now i want some butter treat! AND A HEATING CAP! and i cant get em till NEXT MONTH!

:throws tantrum:

but since i dont have any...i did the aphogee 2 min for 5 min to see if it helps with the breakage. it was a little worse this week, probably from all the cowashing i've been doing. right now i am DCing with kenra mc mixed with warmed-up honey and EVOO using the homemade steam thingy (turbie twist and plastic cap). its been an hour but i will leave it on for one more.

 

[Cien]

I haven't checked in a minute...but I've been co-washing/deep conditioning and rollersetting at least twice a week!

Since I was in the nobuy challenge for May, I haven't purchased any new conditioners since then. I've been using what I have, mixing them up, and adding that magic elixr---SAA!!!

I truly believe SAA is the key to a great deep conditioner. (for my hair!)

Adding a bit of it to my conditioners is leaving my hair extremely soft!

-------

anyway--tonight.

Deep conditioned with a concoction of LeKair Cholesterol, Silicon Mix and Herbal Essence LTR. OH!

 

[Healthb4Length]

DCed today and did a caramel/protein treatment for 30 minutes with heat and followed up with a moisturizing treatment (ORS RP) for 30 minutes. My hair felt strong and soft.

 

[tycoles]

Just finished my second dc of the week using a mixture of HE Hello hydration, and mizani moisturefuse without heat. Left mixture on for 2hours before spraying with glycerin mixture and washing out. Now sitting here airdrying.
