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

Relxed yesterday with Profectiv and it was pretty good

As some of you know, that Optimum Oil conditioner effed my hair UP! After 4 months of constant dc'ing, co washing, steaming, chelating, clarifying, my hair was STILL messed up. As a last resort, I decided to relax ALLLL the way to the ends to hopefully change what that conditioner did. I know, I know :eek:

But it worked! As far as I can tell, my hair is mostly back to normal :grin:

I dc'd after relaxing with Alter Ego Energizing and loved it! My hair feels a lot smoother, I don't have as much breakage and it just feels so much better! Woohoo!!! :yahoo:
uggggh....

Whoever thought up that Optimum Oil line needs their *** beat! That whole line sucks!
 
Proclaim Aloe&Shea+Mango butter+Avocado butter+Camellia seed oil+Castor oil+coconut oil..gonna keep it on for like 4 hours then rinse out.
 
Finally sitting here with my Alter Ego Garlic Treatment mixed with some Spectrum Organic coconut oil on my hair under my dryer. I think I'll keep it on for an hour and a half or two tonight because I just finished henna'ing my hair mixed with indigo today. I always love the results of henna on my hair:lick:, nice and soft and strong all at the same time.
 
I have not checked in for a couple of days, but I have been faithfully DCing. I did two overnight DCs this week:yep:

I plan to do one more this weekend.

Girl believe me I know. I haven't really bought anything for 2 months now except my co-wash conditioners the end of May. I am okay with products for a very long time. I may not even need to re-order a staple until October or November.

i have been off the buy nothing challenge what?...a day?...and you got me wanting to run out and get some of this.

are you melting it before you use it? i melt my honey and raw shea butter so maybe i will just throw that in the container with those.

lilsparkle I live in the Bahamas, there really is no need for me to melt the coconut oil because it is so hot here. Even when I purcahse it it's already half melted in the store here, lol. You have a really great idea here in mixing the coconut oil with your shea butter. I have some shealoe butter that doesn't melt here but I kinda like it like that for shine and keeping down my flyaway hairs. I rarely mix that in anything because I have some shea butter oil that I use for mixing purposes. You won't regret getting this coconut oil, it smells so good and it feels really good when I put it on my hair too.

:look: (can't remember if I updated recently, but Aggie has me running scared! :lachen:)

DC'd/ing overnight last night with a nice Elsta/Premier/honey/honeyquat/saa mix. I still haven't decided what I'm doing with my hair this week, so it'll stay soaking until I figure that out.

Hrmph.
 
I haven't checked in recently but since my last post here, I have dc'ed 3 times. I just did a dc last night with ors replenishing with heat after I clarified.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about. Thanks for checking in ladies:grin:.
 
Hey ladies,
I relaxed today, and I am happy with the results. she followed my instructions, even did a before neutralizing protein treatment (apoghee 2 min), I must say it turned out superbly. My hair is fluffy and noice, she did relax me bone straight either. :grin:

All in all I am happy, looks like this hair thing will work out after all. I did sit under heat for 15 min with ORS replenishing pack.
I wont be able to do my two Dcs this week but I will do one on Saturday. By next week i will be back in the swing of things.
You ladies are the best!!!

I will post pics in my siggy when I get a hold of camera.

:lachen: me too!

my next DC is tonight...i will use one of the new lustrasilks i got from sally's since they are 1.49 through the 30th. i had the shea butter, which is now all gone, and i purchased the olive oil one and the aloe vera one. i will mix it with honey, EVOO, and raw shea butter.
 
yes I have been slacking off as far as posting goes...but you know I have been DC'ing twice a week.

As far as the reviews:
Freeman sea kelp moisturizing conditioner; I have been cowashing with and using as a leave in, it is very thick and mositurizing. It is great for taming new growth.

Elasta QP DPR 11: I know that everyone is already up on this conditioner. I didn't use this is as a DC but as a moisturizer for my ends. my hair feels so strong yet soft. Its really thick. I will give it another try as a DC and let you know what I think.

HE LTR leave in: I used this for the first time after my touch up last week. I used 2 quarter sized amount with a dime sized amount of Sebastian potion #9 and my hair is so soft and moisturized, HE LTR leave-in is the truth!! I will def re-purchase!!

Hmmm, I've never seen the Freeman sea kelp before - I like the review on taming new growth, I might need to look into this beause of the OCT/MT challenge I'm in.
 
I want Joico's moisture line so bad, but I have to curb my PJism for now but I am eyeing this line relly closely:yep:.

I did too for a while and actually finally made myself go to Trade Secret to purchase it. I just hope that it works for me because I am so tried of buying and returning I NEED some staple products stat.
 
I finally caved in and got the Kenra MC.
I used it yesterday and :blush: I love it already. I hope my hair continues to love it.

I have a free afternoon tomorrow so I think I'm going to use it again and do a rollerset. Thanks to everyone who recommended it.
 
Hi Everyone!
I'm late to join this but I'm eager to partake in my first hair challenge. I'm twisting my hair for the summer (gotta beat this humidity anyway possible) then curling my twists for some interesting effects. I need a thicker conditioner then the Salerm I'm using. Anyone else using good ol' cholesterol conditioner?

Any other recommendations for a hydrating/moisturizing conditioner?

Thanks so much!
