I haven't posted/updated in a while. I had kidney surgery on the 16th and just got back from the hospital on Thursday. My hair is a dry, matted mess!:sad: I DC'd with ORS pak and Shea Butter Cholesterol overnight last night, and my hair feels better, but it's gonna be a while before I get it back to pre-surgery shape. I think I'm gonna go buy a heating cap this week. If anyone has any suggestions for something super rich and moisturizing to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. TIA:drunk:

Wow, so sorry to hear of your hospital stay, and I hope you (and your hair!) recovers fully!

Almost anything mixed with honey, I'd have to say - maybe even left in overnight.


I finally rinsed out my hair, then I lightly oiled it, and I'm leaving it to dry, now. I think I'm going to put in two strand twists this go around.... *nod*
 
Sera, hoping things are much better with you now post-surgery.
Yes, a good overnight conditioning should give your hair a lift...:yep:


I rinsed out the cassia/amla mix, with the assistance of WRTC, then applied the banana brulee condish... will be overnighting with it...

I'ze tired now.
 
Re: CONDITIONING CHALLENGE

DC'd yesterday afternoon. Same products: for the dc'ing I use Cathy Howse's, big ole bottle of product, has peppermint in it (lovin' it), and protein.

Hopefully these "challenges" will continue. I am really feelin' 'em and they help keep me on my toes re. my regime, you know.

Cousin A,

I did the same thing recently...did a tiny trim...got rid of the V that I keep getting (which keeps going to the bra clasp) -- it's not going to help me any in my hair goals to keep trimming it off -so Chicoro may have something there and I'm just going to leave well enough alone over the coming year...then a small trim again next summer.

Thanks for the backup support Mona. Okay I'll just think about getting it dusted next month then.

Okay...I left the Avocado condish on longer than I should've...
so I could feel the tangles forming...

went to the A-team detangler combo of Pantene RN Mask, HE LTR and WRTC which is now marinating on my head. I'll let that sit for awhile and rinse.

I think that's it for me until the weekend and I'll start all over again..
 
Okay I fell off but my ends are ummmmmmm evident that I dont DC:nono:. So today I dc'd with Pantene R&N breakage defense masque. I'll deep condItion again on Wendesday.
 
:sekret: Dang......I haven't been in here for like a minute... :look: But I have been DCing. I am actually doing it right now with the last of my Joico K Pak intense hydrator and some lillte packet of conditioner from a haircolor kit. I'm going to rinse it out right now cause it's been in for over an hour. I think I may blow dry just out of pure curiousity b/c I didn't realize how major my shrinkage is until I was playing with my hair earleir today. :grin:
 
I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been DC, I DC yesterday with aubrey protein, kenra humecto, and some oils
 
Okay ladies I DC'ed today with some Mizani Moisturefuse and almond oil today. I am going on vacation to Canada in a few hours so I probably will not be updating for about 2 weeks or so from today.
 
Checking in. I DCed yesterday with AVEDA DAMAGE REMEDY :lick:. Every time I use this product I am amazed! Even my DH commented that my hair looked so healthy :spinning:. Anyway, I am trying to stretch my texturizer until October, so I am hoping to keep these DCs up until then.

I will JK and I know for sure I will miss all of you. I don't know what kind of internet access I'll come into when I get over there, but if I do, I'll try to check in at least twice. I have about 4 hours of sleep to get now, so I need to hit the sack now.

I just got back from vacation yesterday and I miss all the fun already. Have a Blessed and wonderful trip Aggie! See ya soon!:wave:
 
dc yesterday with joico moisture recovery but it made my hair feel wirery and thats a no no since i am 10 months post. my new growth must be soft if nothing else. so i slipped a lil fekkai shea butter conditioner in my hair and it brought it right back to life. oh how i love fekkai :lick:
 
Relaxed and DC'd tonight. I bought UNA's moisturizing masque, I'm really liking it it's very moisturizing. I picked up the smaller tub, to see how things turn out, I'll give it another couple of trys before I pick up the tub.
 
i co-washed with mop c-system hydrating conditioner. i dc'd with mop reconstructing conditioner for 45 minutes. i'm loving my hair right now. i then did a braidout. i almost can't wait till Thursday.
 
aw man I missed aggie! well I am on my phone so gotta make this short...took out the twists cause the MT growth was that serious. if I can get a clear pic I will post tomorrow. anyhoo I got a nice kenra mc and evoo session in...i tried to add an egg cause I saw a little breakage during the takedown but it was just nasty looking...eww...but I didn't rinse my bowl so I guess there were remnants. 4 hours, no heat, now I am drying in flat twists.
 
Checkin in. :look:I'm in growth and length mode now and have ceased all use of heat including hooded dryer. I am making a conscious effort to stretch past 9 weeks. I have ceased shampooing 2 x per week and reduced it to 1x per week and I co wash twice a week now. I am dc-ing by leaving my conditioners on for a minimum of 2 hours. I d/c-ed Saturday with a mixture of Roux Mendex and Generic Humectress. I did that on dry hair. I cowash with GF Moisture Works. It stinks but I love it. Oh yeah. I am airdrying now.:grin: My hair feels better now than it has ever in my whole life.:yep:
 

Have a ball, Aggie!! :wave::cheers: And yeah, what she said, Lav. your hair siggie is absolutely GORGEOUS, omg, what a beauty to behold. Keep up the good work, lady.
