Hi Ballerina Bun, your hair is just thick and lovely in your siggy. Yes there are a lot of people DCing their hair and I agree, it does wonders for the hair.

Okay I got up this morning and clarified my hair a little with my garlic shampoo and conditioner, then used my Premier Botanical Poo and Creme Rinse, followed by some UBH conditioner mixed with some KeraCare Humecto deep conditioner. I will DC for 45 minutes today.
I was not crazy about the KC Humecto conditioner the first two times I used it but today I love the way it feels on my hair. The last time I used it, it felt kinda coarse going and I had to use some hot oil to give some slip but this time it went on very smooth and silky like. Hmmm, I wonder if it was because I clarified my hair first this time
.
ETA: Yup, the KC Humecto turned out great this time. I was gonna use it up and not repurchase it but I think I'll keep it now.

Checkin in. I d/c-ed with ORS Replenishing Conditioner,LeKair Cholesterol, and a hot oil that I made with some of the oils that I have been collecting.

You're more than welcome! It's all about passing the knowledge along, right?
Nope and nope.
ACV cleans, does not clarify.
BS mostly clarifies - product buildup only, and some of the more stubborn silicones it can't touch.
The only 'home' thing I know of that is supposed to chelate is citric acid, but I just saw a passing reference to that.
You know I was in da kitchen looking for stuff with citric acid in it!
Just kidding! But really! My next dc is Thursday sooo giddy-up horsey! I guess I'm back on the wagon. Thanks JK!

Nope, acv and bs will cleanse your hair, but not chelate it. Your best bet would be to get ORS Creamy Aloe from Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, etc.
It'll be well worth the money, trust me
Hey Sweetie!
I was just in walmart yesterday! My next dc is Thursday! It'll (ORS) be worth a try. Thanks for the suggestion..
Re: co wash/ deep conditioning
Yeah, my hair is natural. I think I might try DC twice a week, and co-wash twice a week... I'm joining the challenge a little late but I want to make sure I stay on my regimen. Thanks

*lol* The only thing I know of that might have citric acid in it (mostly straight) is pickling salt, I think it is. Or, that 'crystallized' lemon juice stuff?
Otherwise, I think you have to order it online - oh, no! Urm...... beer shops will sell it - places where you would go to get supplies to brew your own beer or mead? I'm almost certain they sell straight CA too.

This is my first challenge and I'm finding it's not that bad. With all my swimming and running I rinse/wash my hair often and the only change has been adding the extra DC step. I've now had a paradigm shift in how I take care of my hair (light bulb moment here). I'll DC overnight with my plastic cap and do my hair in the morning. Thanks to originator of this challenge (sorry I can't recall your name)!

Checking in -- I deep conditioned on Sunday with Organix Coconut Milk Split End Mender and Organix Coconut Milk Self Heating Oil and sat under my Ion dryer for 20 min. My hair was so soft and luscious looking. My aunt picked me up for church and she said that my hair looked really nice.
I wished I could post a pic. I will hopefully be able to post pics by end of week. I love Organix!

Good idea, I think I'll do the same thing myself because I feel the same way too.

I DC'd over night with Alter Ego Garlic Hot Oil Treatment with some added JBCO. I then rinsed out, washed with a touch of CON red label with the Premier Creme Rinse & the Fenugreek Tea Rinse (Aggie's recipe). Rinsed that out, then put in a little more Premier & left it in. I then sprayed with diluted Rehydrant spray, MT'd my scalp & messaged, then put in a touch of JK's idea of making a creme moisturizer from conditioner, SAA, butters, etc (I forget the exact recipe for now), & then I put a dollop of Survivor Detangler. That was 5 hours ago. My hair is so soft. It still looks a little dull to me, though, so I have to figure out how to get some sheen. I also cannot figure out how to get more curl definition. I want to try KCCC (Curly pudding didn't get it for me), but since I cannot buy anything this month, I will just play with ALL the stuff I do have. (I still think it is a matter of putting the right product with the right technique. It seems to elude me at the present.

What butters did you use, Rhapsdy? Some butters tend to leave a bit of a film, I think.
Okay, I'm really lazy tonight - I didn't even mix anything up! I used the Premier Cream Rinse straight tonight, for the first time. I can't wait to see how my hair turns out - I plan on leaving it in overnight and giving a light detangle to my hair tomorrow.

Co-signing...
massaged some Vatika oil into my scalp and hair, layered on the dominican conditioner and the ORS Replenishing ..(I'ma have to let Gym know...I think my hair just fell in love again when I put that ORS on my hair...will see if it was just one night stand or the real thing by the morning when I rinse out...)

I used as my base, the Earthy Divas beauty butter recipe which had mango & shea butter. I may have added other butters (you know how I love to mix), so I will have to pay attention. Maybe I'll see if I can find the recipe I got from you & use the specific butters you mention. Which butters tend to leave a film, may I ask?
BTW, I was thinking of trying some things straight, too. Maybe find out how my hair likes some stuff plain, you know? LOL
Thanks

Okay I mega sagged already and right on top of that I put some Pantene R/N hair conditioning mask and some AE garlic treatment on dry hair, put on my plastic cap and going to bed like this like JK I am too lazy to wash this out tonight. So DCing overnight tonight, first time in a long time. I think my hair needs it right now too. It does feel really good and soft right now

Mona thsi sounds like a nice combo too. I like it, let me know how it turns out. Is that the AE Energizer con you're talking about?

It's a dom conditioner that actually was mentioned on the board and I didn't even realize it...crece pelo
I'm steady smelling the orange oil in the ORS replenishing. Glad Gym pushed me to buy it...
I will be drifting off to sleep...

Whoa, looks like Redken is making waves in this challenge. If I try a new DC it's going to be by Joico. I read some product reviews on www.totalbeauty.com on a lot of the poos and conditioners we use here and that Joico got rated a 10 for most or all of their products. Redken got an average rating of 8 I think.
As far as the more natural line, the ratings for Nature's Gate got a 10 for most or all of their products and Giovanni averaged around a rating of 9. I'll go on the site again and check out some other brands and see which ones I really want to purchase. I do liike Natures Gate and I want to try the Giovanni Smooth as Silk line as well. I am looking for a good leave-in and Giovanni Direct got a really good rating of 9. I'll update on them later.
This site could be helpful to newbies starting out and looking for good DCs, okay? Check the site out when you get a moment. They rate a host of other stuff like makeup, skincare items, etc.

My hair was my friend yesterday. I did a prepoo DC/cowash wish ORS mayo and Oils. Washed that out and then I did a DC with Keracare Humecto and oils. I blowdried my hair and I must say, That was the best shine I have had since my BC.
Oooooh congrats Many, now that's what I like to hear

Oh by the way, I slept with some Pantene R/N mask and AE garlic treatment sealed in with some shea butter on my dry hair last night and now I am DCing today with heat for another hour with the mix still in my hair. I don't know how my hair is going to turn out, but I'll see when I wash it out and update afterwards.

I think people have had issues with shea butter. *thinks* I rarely use them straight though - so it might have been the proportions, too. I can't imagine the conditioners would leave a film (oh, were they all cone-free? That might make a difference)......
*lol* Yeah. I'm not feeling much better, so I'm staying home today, and my hair is still tied up. I might start messing with it once DH is off to work.
