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

[Aggie]

Any suggestions on where I can find the Kenra online? Is amazon the best place? TIA.

I order them from www.sleekhair.com. This is a really great site and has a lot of other branded products I think you'll love like Joico, Abba, Nexxus, CHI silk infusion, etc.

 

[Aggie]

I'll join this one as well. I really need to do this.

Welcome lovinmylocs.

 

[Aggie]

Can you count me in too? I got to BSL the first time by doing this. Now that I am trying to get back to BSL I'm going to do it again.

Welcome candiel.

I've jumped onto the steam challenge so it's only right that I include myself in the deep conditioning challenge.

To stick with it I've formulated a regimen for May, my initial month and for the rest of the summer. The month of May wiLL consist of a strICK dc regimen and scalp treatment schedule.

SO PLEASE ADD ME!!!

 

[Tamrin]

Aggie can I jump in. I just took out my twists today (posted pics) and I need as much DC as I can get. I plan on relaxing in July. Until then I have to keep from getting breakage. Im currently 1 day from 16 weeks post. I will DC twice a week.

Hi highlyfavored2008 and welcome to the challenge.

To all challengers, please have a starting pic ready to be posted on May 1st. If it is the pic in your siggy then let us know that too. If it is in your fotki and it's locked, please enable the fotkis so we can view your progress. Thanks ladies for your kind co-operation.

 

[Evalina1]

Hi Evalina1, I only wash my braids using poo every 10 days to 2 weeks believe it or not. I wash my hair using the Crown & Glory technique with diluted poo from a large applicator type bottle and sponge my scalp and hair with it over a large bowl. I condition this same way but I leave the diluted Kenra conditioner on my hair, put on a plastic cap and go under the dryer for 45 minutes to an hour, then I proceed to sponging on the infusium 23 leave-in treatment and braid spray. The sponging action actually feels really good on my scalp.

I use kanakalon synthetic hair and I treat it using the C & G way in hot tap water and a cup of regular vinegar for 15 minutes, allow to dry a day and use the next day. You should visit the site if you are seriously thinking about wearing braids at www.growafrohairlong.com.

As for cones, they can be found in almost all conditioners but you'll find that the cone-free ones are mostly organic, however Kenra and some Nexxus products are cone free and so is Giovanni Tea Tree triple treat conditioner, Aubrey Organics, and Desert Essence Organic conditioner.

Check out the conditioners you can purchase on this site for many cone-free conditioners - http://www.vitacost.com/Conditioner-4. Also see this link for CONE-FREE conditioners: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=196051.

Also read through this thread I found on LHC for various cones and which ones are good, which ones are not, etc., http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=13. I hope this was helpful to you. Please save the links in your favorites and/or print out for easy reference.

YOU ARE THE BEST! I LOVE THE WAY YOU REALLY TAKE TIME OUT AND EXPLAIN THINGS TO SLOW PEOPLE LIKE ME.

Shartarip, you're on a roll. I mix my Elucence mb conditioner with hot oils too. For me it gives better slip this way.

ETA: Welcome to all new challengers.

 

[Aggie]

YOU ARE THE BEST! I LOVE THE WAY YOU REALLY TAKE TIME OUT AND EXPLAIN THINGS TO SLOW PEOPLE LIKE ME.

You're welcomed Evalina1. When I first joined LHCF, I got help from lots of the ladies here and now it's a pleasure for me to help others who are new to the board.

 

[Tarae]

pretty hair in the siggy!

Thanks a lot, ElleDoll.

 

[Jada]

Please add me to the challenge. I'm going natural without a BC so this will be great!

 

[Blessed2bless]

I'm in for the first 3 months.... doing my hair 2x a week is a challenge for me.. I'll commit until August to see how it goes. Count me in.

 

[Aggie]

Welcome Jada and Blessed2bless.

 

[Lavendar]

I'll be starting off the challenge tomorrow, May 1st, with a protein deep conditioner with heat cap for 60 minutes. Good luck to all the challengers!

 

[Duchesse]

I Dc'in tonight w/ORS hair mayo, then co wash in the morn.

 

[sevetlana]

Checking in.
I am sitting under the dryer now with pantene R/N mask.
I put a little oil on the ends of my hair (olive and castor oil) and pooed with diluted ORS creamy aloe. I will roller set and air dry.

ETA: i used a little cantu shea butter leave in on my wet hair, now my hair feels sticky, might be little too heavy for my hair.

 

[princessnad]

DC'd last night with Lekair cholesterol (moisture) mixed with EVOO. Next will be with ORS hair mayo (light protein). I will switch off between these two whether I do it 2 or 3 times per week (overnight everytime). In the morning I do cardio for 40-50 minutes for the heat then rinse.

Aggie, do you think DCing overnight is too much/ will lead to moisture or protein overload? I decided to switch it up to prevent this but my hair is in need of intense therapy without getting overly expensive products so I decided on overnight. What do you think?

 

[IntoMyhair]

Hello ladies
I deep conditioned on 4-29 with lakair cholesterol for upteen hours. If i had to guess 5 than did a wash with kenra moisturizing con than a final rinse with WRTC.

My starting pics are below. I have also decided to wait until after summer to do the deep cut. So at the end of this challenge my hair may be shorter.






My new growth the amount that has grown since putting in the plaits about a month ago.








I am 90% sure that i am taking my plaits out saturday. That will be my 2nd Dc for the week. Even if i do not remove them i am still going to DC.

 

[miami74]

I will be getting a touch up this Saturday, so my first DC for this challenge will be then. I will also DC sometime next week. I will post a beginning pic around the weekend after my relaxer.
