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

curlscience said:
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!

run to sally's and get the lustrasilk (its on sale through tomorrow); i use it and like it as a low-end DC. my favorite is kenra mc though.

others like the pantene r&n mask or nexxus humectress as well.
 
Deep conditioned with Hairveda Sitri-Nillah hair masque with heat for 90 minutes. This is the BEST deep conditioner ever!
 
Aggie I will be back soon enough, I'm waiting for my order. I'll be back dc'n 2x's a week, I had to revamp my reggie as you know i'll be relaxing as well.
 
OK, now that school is over (I teach) and I am wearing my own hair, I am jumping on the bandwagon. I deep conditioned yesterday for 6 hours with ORS Olive Oil replenishing pak. My hair was so soft and slippery afterwards. Then I put in Fermodyl 619 leave in tx and air dried. Yummy! This will be every two days for me!
 
I have been on vacation, so I haven't posted in a while, but I'm still faithfully dc-ing. I've been using UBH conditioner and following up with Nexxus Humectress; I want to try KeraCare Humecto.

Welcome to the challenge jerseyjill, I will add you to the challenge right now. Remember to check in at least once a week, okay?
 
Ok ladies I have been lurking on here for a few months and I have learned that some of the things that I have been doing by accident made my hair grow. My questions are what products have a lot of protein? I also want to know what a co-wash is? What can I use for deep conditioning and what is HE LTR? I am a product junkie and have been way before i found this website. I have dudley, elasta qp, aveda, organix, mop, sexyhair, nexxus, fantasia, WGHO, jojoba oil, aloe vera oil, carrot oil, pantene R/N mask, giovanni, and the list could go on and on. I need help to establish a regimen. I want to join this challenge as it sounds interesting. I want to grow my hair down to my waist but I need help. My hair is a little above BSL and thick. I dont know what hair type I am, I just know that it's thick. Also want to know where you get affirm, silk elements and phyto relaxers from? I know this is a lot but I need help. TIA.
 
Yesterday I DC'd with Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner mixed with coconut milk, honey and JBCO for 45 minutes with the steam towel wrap method under heat. My hair has a nice sheen to it. I'm sorry you are not seeing me post much, Aggie, but I have decided, starting this week, that I will reduce my washes to 1x a week. I need to reduce manipulation big time because I am experiencing some demarcation line breakage and shedding at 8 weeks post with my transitioning to texlaxed hair.
 
I haven't checked in a while but have been sticking to the challenge using up some products that I have. DC'ing right now with Fantasia IC Reconstructor. Will DC again on Wednesday. I almost stopped with the challenge because my hair did not seem to like too much manipulation, but shortly I saw that the DCing 2x a week was better after all. I just had to use a more detangling shampoo or conditioner when I was 8 weeks post relaxer.
 
Shampood today with Profectiv's Neutrolizing Foam poo. I really like it! The foam is different, it smells yummy (like banana cream) and cleans well without stripping my hair. I wonder if it's a chelating poo :scratchch If it is, it'll definitely become a staple for when I clarify/chelate once a month

I'm under the dryer now, dc'ing with Redken Butter Treat. I'll be under for an hour :grin:

Okay I will be able to answer some of your questions but not all. The products that have protein is vast and extremely extensive. It would be best to give you a link that you can check in the ingredients list of each product you purchase and here's the link http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=114629 .

Now the Aveda moisture line, Organix, Nexxus Humectress, and Pantene Mask in bold can be used as deep conditioners. Deep conditioners tend to be very thick and creamy and not watery. The HE LTR stands for Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship I think. I don't use it though but many ladies are having great success with it.

As far as building a regimen - check out this link http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/288340/hair_regimen_building_for_newbies.html?cat=69 . In fact check out all the articles by Sistaslick here http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/83046/sistaslick.html.

I hope some of the ladies can chime in on the relaxers you're asking about. You could just do a google search as well. Silk Elements ca be found at Sally's beauty supply store. I saw affirm on www.amazon.com. I hope this helps.
 
Had a minor / major setback :sad:depends on how you look at it but I was able to dc this evening.
I mixed Generic Humectress:lick:, ORS Replenishing conditioner:lick:, Ion Hot oil:lick:, and Queen Helene Cholesterol Treatment:lick: together and applied it to my hair. I sat w/o heat for 15 mins and then got under the dryer for 20 mins. My hair is so happy:yay:. I figure we all have minor setback. My hair didn't fall out or anything like that it was my body that was out of wack.:ohwell: All is well now!!!:yep:
 
DCed today with my protein cocktail. I think I may have ODed on protein because my hair was hard! I used a moisturizing conditioner afterwards (shescent's fortifying mask) but it barely helped:ohwell:. I knew I over did it with proteins so I'll be sticking with moisturizing conditioner for my next DC.

i bought a TUB of this stuff for 9 bucks, used it once and i hate it. maybe i should spike it...but then again it has mineral oil in it so i dont want it anymore. BSS has a no return policy of course.
 
Sorry I haven't been posting as much as I should. I'm still DCing 2x a week with heat. On last Saturday night I DC'd with CON Nourishing Condish. I'll do the same tonight.
 
Hi Aggie,:newbie: here. Im in on this challenge. I will be DCing 3x a week using the Pantene R/N mask.I do not know how to submit pics yet, but when I do I will be posting begin pics.

You know, I was contemplating buying the tub, but being it was my first time using it, I bought the smaller bottle. Glad I did because my hair felt so dry in the days following my DC. For this reason, I washed again last night! I couldn't see myself going for 1 week with such dry hair. This stuff doesn't work for me either :nono:. Oh well, we live and learn.

I DC'd last night with ORS Hair Mayo for about 30 min with no heat. Then cowashed with Suave Tropical Coconut. My hair feels more moisturized now. Thank heavens!
 
Sitting here with my usual DC in. Spiked this one with a little citric acid since my ends were feeling rough - I skipped my usual rinse after the weekends DC. :nono:
