[tiffers]

Welcome back Aggie!!! We missed you!!!

I was supposed to wash and dc today, but I'm just too tired and lazy

[Aggie]

Thank you Agggggggggie!!!

Welcome back! Thread wasn't the same without you

WELCOME BACK AGGIE!!!!! Glad you had a good time on vacation!!

I've been slacking, myself. I DC'd over the weekend, and that's been about it - traveling puts such a damper on my hair care.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Aggie! Welcome back chica, you were missed!

I did an overnite DC w/ Kenra+castor oil... my hair feels very nice.

Thanks everyone for the welcome back and it's good to be back home and back to taking good care of my hair. Canada's dry air was drying out my hair really badly and it was breaking off in clumps as a result. Now I have to fight hard to keep what I have left. I had nose bleeds and my lips peeled badly because of the dry air too. I also had to lotion up several times a day to keep my skin hydrated as well. It was rough on me over there especially coming from a very humid country like the Bahamas where the air is filled with lots of moisture. I will prepare myself a lot better for my next trip.

 

[Aggie]

Thanks I have always been amazed by how you all can keep up with everyone in a challenge and sign up newcomers!

I'm really lovin' your siggy pic Oneya. Just beautiful.

 

[chebaby]

i deep conditioned this morning with a mix of fekkai shea butter hair mask, coconut oil and honey.

Sounds like a nightmare!!!

Glad you're back home. Time to pamper yourself

aggieeeee! welcome back! it just wasnt the same without you...hope you had fun despite the dry air. climate/humidity changes are always killer.

i am DCing tonight...didnt get around to it yesterday like i thought i would, ended up going to the ER instead, but now that i'm back on track with my *health* i can get everything else back in order as well. a good DC, and maybe a face mask and fresh coat of nail polish, is a nice way to melt away some stress and pamper myself.

Thanks lilsparkle and yes I did actually have fun but I was really home sick by the 5th day over there.

A Big Muah to all of you, my lovely sistas. I can't thank you enough for all the support you give me and others.

Hello All,

I don't post often so I hope I did this right. I would love to join this challenge. I have been doing this on my own without knowing about this challenge.

Last Relaxer - 7/24/08 - Elucence No-Lye
Deep Conditioners that I use for prepoo (overnight) - Phytospecific Milky Reconstructurer , jojoba oil (mix with conditioner-sometimes), Nexxus Humectress, Paul Mitchell Super Strong Treatment, Nexxus Keraphix, Ellin LaVar, AO GPB, AO Blue Algae (Just got the AO and used the GPB once - pretty good stuff) and Dark and Lovely Dry Hair Healer (my cheapie)

When I shampoo out - I use a light conditioner like Nexxus Ensure or Paul Mitchell Extra Body Rinse

I will have some picture as soon as I figure out how to do it

Hi sqzbly1969 and welcome to the challenge. I will add you in right now. I see you have some really great products here and most of them looks like they are protein based. Be careful with DCing with too much protein, they will harden your hair over time and cause severe breakage. Use more of the humectress for sure I know is moisturizing, but the others I am not too sure of as I haven't heard of them like Ellin Lavar, AO Blue Algae, and Dark & Lovely dry hair healer. I don't know what ingredients are in those ones. Anyway, happy hair growing, we're glad to have you join.

Oooh goodie, you are so welcome to join us Tasha. I will go ahead and add you in now seeing that you will start the challenge in the morning, okay? By the way, DCing twice a week is fine.

 

[Aggie]

Hi SMC, welcome to the challenge as well. Have lots of fun with it. I will add you now as well.

Hi Ladies,

It's been a while since my last check in, but I am faithfully still washing and DCing 2 times a week. I switched my poos to herbal poos, Indian powder tea rinses or shampoo bars and that has been working out so far. I DC'd on Tuesday using Lanza Moisture treatment, and I'm not sure what I did but it left my hair feeling really coated so I ended up washing and DCing again tonight. Before I deep conditioned I did a clarifying shampoo to rid the greasy feeling, then washed with Earthy Delight herbal shampoo, after that I conditioned with Sedal Ceramidas Treatment concoction mixed with SitriNillah Deep Conditioning Masque and a pinch of salt and I'm sitting under the dryer now, but just for handling it to rollerset my hair feels much better.

Hello ladies,

I deep conditioned my hair last night with ORS hair mayo then applyed my leave in and air dry my hair feels great.

 

[cecilie]

Thanks Kels for your concern and yes I will definitely nurse my hair and skin back to health over the next couple of weeks.

 

[Lavendar]

Last D/C was Wednesday. Needed something extra since my hair has been really dry lately from working out. AO GPB, Honeysuckle Rose, Grapeseed oil, and SAA on dry hair with heat for a couple of hours did the trick.

 

[Blessed2bless]

Dc'd overnite w/ORS.

 

[lilsparkle825]

i am currently prepooing with this old bottle of pantene R&N intensive moisturizing conditioner...i know i will shampoo after this but i am still contemplating whether i want to break out the hood dryer for a DC with kenra mc & heat. it would be a welcome treat since i had these cornrows in for about 2 weeks but its soooo hot!

still going back and forth between rollersetting, banding then flatironing, or just doing good old two strand twists. UGH i wish i were still stuck in a style rut.

 

[MonaLisa]

Doing an overnight mix of Elucence, Vatika, Palm and Caribbean Coconut Oil.

Will follow up with Deep Conditioning mix of Banana Brulee and Pantene RN Mask then do follow up rinse with Elucence.

It will get better...
