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

Yes, I love it! It would be great for everyday co-washing, but that may get a little expensive.

my relaxed ends bugged out from all the moisture *i think*, so since you are a natural who DCs 2x a week is your hair ok? i just BC'd and i am wondering if i should stay with the frequent DCing and cowashing, or if just one or the other should do. of course i will wait and see but input is the best!
 
I've been really busy, so I haven't checked in for a couple of weeks. But, I've been dc-ing 2x a week with UBH and then I follow up with a moisturizing conditioner (Nexxus Humectress or Keracare Humecto).
 
I DC'd today after rinsing my ayurvedic paste. I used Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol Plus mixed with a little coconut milk, 2 tsp of melted raw shea butter, coconut oil and JBCO. DC'd for 45 min with the steam towel wrap method under the dryer.
 
Just finished my first dc of the week. I prepoo on dry hair with ORS Pak, followed by con shampoo, and finally nexxus humectress ultimate moisture conditioner. I've read so much about the nexxus I had to try it and it is working well.

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.

So I didn't relax as planned...my NG matches with the UPA Clip pretty good, so it's allowing me to stretch. Because of all the daily moisturizing and sealing I decided to clarify with my "baking soda treatment" (mentioned above) again. I poo'd with CON Green. Afterward I DC'd with CON Nourishing Condish with heat (my trusty heat cap) for 20 mins.

I can feel my hair on my neck now! :grin:

Wow daephae your UPA clip is gorgeous. I love it. I'm tempted to cut my hair down to your hair length so badly and I just might but I might do so next year. I really want to see how long my hair can grow to this year before I do. I want to cut it or the thickness and protective style with extremely low manipulation next year, ie, no co-washing and 2 DC treatments a week.
 
I DC'd over the weekend with some outdoor-work-in-the-Memphis-summertime-heat added (:lachen:) - simple mix this go around (Elasta, Premier, and some honeyquat), as I'm not really feeling like meddling with my hair (every summer, this happens - what's up with that?) - and I'm experimenting with some new styles.

:ohwell: Not really feeling todays - it's a little too Dino for me. :lachen: *sigh* Ahh, the curse of a big ole melon head.

hey Aggie...your hair is so beautiful! Why do you wanna cut it?

BTW, thanks for the compliment. I love the UPA clip. I've worn it everyday since I got it!

I've been feeling the same way!
 
DC'd last night. I pre pooed with an oil mix, did one wash with Pantene's clarifying shampoo and one wash with KeraCare Hydrating and Detangling shampoo. I did a Apogee 2 min treatment and for my DC I slathered on some of my Nacidit Olive Oil concoction mixed with SitriNillah Deep Conditioning Masque with heat for 30 min :lick: :lick:.
 
DCed today with my hair steamer for 30 minutes. Used Miss Key 10 en 1. My hair feel very well moisturized but strong. I really love this product :lick:
 
Checking in...DCing right now with some Redken and a heating cap

I truly love this challenge :love2: My hair has become so much softer.
 
Do you think I can dc the night before my touch-up?(like tonight) I know I waited last minuted but I had a few things I had to wear my hair straight.:ohwell:

I have done this twice before tt8 but I found that I burned easily when I did this because I usually massage my scalp when I wash so for me this is not a good idea. I'd say wait a day or two in between unless you base really really well okay?

For the thickness and my ends are growing into a "V" which I don't like. I prefer a blunt look at the back. I know I'm actin' all crazy:spinning: but this is what I like.
 
I gave myself an ayurvedic rinse this afternoon with a mixture of
2 TBS of fenugreek,
1 TBS each of brahmi and bhringraj powders,
1/2 teaspoon of aritha, and
1 teaspoon each of shikakai and amla powder,
3oz Vatika oil,
64oz filtered water all boiled down together,
Allowed to cool and poured unstrained over pre-oiled hair and scritched scalp in the shower,
Left on hair for 5-7 minutes and washed out.

Surprisingly my hair was very nice and soft.

Poo-ed with CON ultra moisturizing poo, treated my hair with a little protein - UBH con, left on for 3 minutes, washed out and now I'm DC-ing with Pantene R/N hair conditioning mask for 60 minutes.

Today I washed out my blowout, deep conditioned for the first time with KeraCare Humecto, and followed up with Salerm21 Leave-in.
I'm thinking of visiting different salons and having them DC my hair.

Hi pinayprincess, I see your post but are you joining the challenge with us? If you are, please pm me and let me know so I can officially add you to the front page, okay? HHG.
 
:ohwell: I need a heavy protein treatment followed by a moisturizing dc. I think i'm going to try emergencee. I used aphogee before and it was ok I think...

I want to henna but I also wanted to use a clear rinse or something like color showers, but that's a no no....right?
