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

I clarified my hair this afternoon and my new growth I see is out of control now so I will be relaxing it on this coming Sunday and I can't wait. I am doing an Aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructor treatment now for about 15 minutes, then I'll be DCing with Alter Ego Garlic Treatment mixed with Salerm 21 wheat germ mask and Pantene R/N hair mask for 45 minutes afterwards.
 
I did my first ever DC today with Organics Hair Mayonanise for 30 min the I DC with Tresemme Remoisture Conditioner for an hour and I am now air drying.
 
DC'd again yesterday in an attempt to get my hair back to normal. kenra mc and evoo, 30 min no heat.

ETA: i found out why that kenra mc/shea butter/honey/EVOO DC wasnt working out. my hair doesn't like butters!!! i discovered this after baggying overnight with shea butter the other night and waking up to dry hair. WTF, now i have half a thing of it left that i gotta figure out how to use up. that whipped shea butter/EVOO moisturizer i made worked a bit better so i think i'll try that again, or i'll give it to the sis. her hair loves that stuff.

oooh thanks for the review Mandy. I saw that in a bss store here and wondered about it. I guess if it softened your natural hair so well, it should really turn my relaxed hair to butter, huh:grin:?
 
Update, I just relaxed my hair with some leftover Design Essential Relaxer I had. I had put a cap full of SAA and a teaspoon of coconut oil in it. I still have a half a tub of it still left over. I had bought the 4lb tub and I am now sharing it with my 10 year old niece. I really like this relaxer but I can't find it anymore. No matter, cause I'll be getting the Mizani Butter Blend entire relaxer system when this is finished anyway.

Anyhoo, I just finished deep conditioning my hair for a whole hour and a half with mizani moisturefuse conditioner. My hair is very soft and silky right now:lick:.

Just a side note: I had trimmed a 1/2 an inch off the bottom of my hair earlier in the week and I didn't know how to tell my megatek sistas about that. I know that we shouldn't be doing any kind of trimming before Sept 1st:nono:. Sorry ladies.

It sure will Aggie! I am not sure if it is meant to be a DC though b/c the instructions say to leave it on for 3-5 mins, but I used it as a DC and its all good!

How thick is it? Is it thick like mizani moisturefuse or kenra MC or keracare humecto? If it is, then you should be able to use it as a DC. I will look into this in the bss store when I go back, maybe tomorrow.
 
i deep conditioned with nexxus keraphix for ten minutes and then nexxus humectress for about 30 min. with heat and then about 30 min. more w/out. i'm looking forward to seeing the results.
 
I don't know about the NourishSpa. I mean, it's not BAD, but it's not crazy impressive like I expected it to be. Reminds me, honestly, of one of the Suave Natural's cheapies, but with a higher price tag. *shrug* I've got plenty of it though, so maybe I'll find some sort of way to get it to show me it's full potential. :lol:
 
I haven't tried them yet but many many many of the ladies here have been raving about the Aubrey Organics White Camelia and Honeysuckle Rose conditioners. I have them on my wish list to purchase though. We don't have them here in the Bahamas so I will have to order them online from www.vitaminshoppe.com. I am also in need of some cone and petro-free deep conditioners just so I can mix them up a bit.


Hi Aggie,

i just ran across this challenge. wish i had seen it months ago :sad:. i may have to join when a new one starts up.
also, since you're ordering the aubrey products online you may want to check out www.vitacost.com, prices are cheaper & shipping is pretty fast. i used to shop vitaminshoppe but started using vitacost after doing a price comparison online.
 
I've just finished rollerseting after DC'ing for 2hrs with Tresemme Remoisture Conditioner and doo grow stimulating growth oil and my hair feels ohh so silky. It is actually accidentally underprocessed virgin hair and it feels far better than when it was fully relaxed. I just hope it stays this way when it dries.

Can anyone recommend a good leave-in for underprocessed hair?
 
my review of my DC mix - Lustrasilk Shea+Camellia seed Oil+Avocado Butter+Honey
I left it in overnight and then rinsed it out in the morning. My hair was so EASY to detangle! Even my roots that have a lot of underprocessed hair! It softened my hair tremendously also :) Lustrasilk has become my new staple moisturizing DC

I DC'd Saturday with a mix of Pantene R&N Mask and Silicon Mix. I went a week with no DC, or anything really, because I planned to relax on Saturday but changed my mind.

My hair was a mess but after that DC (no heat for a/b 40 min and heat for a/b 30) there were hardly any tangles and my NG was no problem. I'll never do the no mani thing again though.
 
deep conditioned friday night overnight with shescentit banana brulee and did the same again sunday night.
i love the banan brulee conditioner:lick:. i only got the 8oz and im running out so i think im going to order 2 16oz jars. is that too much:look:


eta: im tripping. i forgot i deep conditioned saturday too. i hate kenra mc but i have to use it up, so on dry hair i mixed kenra mc with coconut oil and honey and left that on for 5 hours without heat and my hair was sooooooo silky and soft. i might invest in a liter kenra just to mix with some natural goodies because i need to keep my natural hair moisturized and my relaxed ends smooth and soft.

I tried that before and it was a big mess for me too. I don't know if it's because I'm relaxed. Tangles gone to bed. The only time I can do that is when I'm in braids or cornrows.

Oh crap, how could I forget about vitacost. I purchase most of my vitamins and some of my essential oils from that site and yes they do carry a anumber of other things I like. Thanks for the reminder. I noticed that they have Giovanni as well. I want me some Giovanni too:yep:.

BY the way, you could still join now and finish off the final quarter of the year strong with Dcing:grin:. Let me know if you want to join and I'll add you in, okay?

Thanks so much myronnie. I do see this here in the Bahamas and I liked the ingredients in the Shea something formula, I can't remember.
