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

Forgot to say add me Chica :yep: Won't be able to really start until next week.

Will do a good deep conditioning Saturday evening.
 
Deep condition today using UBH conditioner, 30mins under heat cap and another 30mins without heat.

Starting point is the pic below, am hoping that the back of my hair gets a bit of growth by the end of this challenge:yep:.

My second DC tonight over night with NTM mask. Did not take out my plaits but still Dc'ing will redo some plaits in the afternoon.
Ntm plastic cap and scarf on head as we speak. About to do some housework for heat lol.

Side note: The shelf i put up in my bathroom and a mirror on it with the applicator brush Honeydew posted about months ago. I was able to apply my DC to my new growth real good. I can finally see the back of my head!

I would do it tonite but my mom is going to a 70's party so she took it....
im deep conditioning tonite
 
I DC'ed #2 today wit ORS in the bottle and I mixed a little aphogee 2 miniute.. I put some oils on first then I put the mix of ors and aphogee DC'ed with heat for about 15 or 20 min. Then I rinsed with cold water then pooed with mildly diluted PC poo and rinsed with warm water. Then I DC'ed again with Pantene R/N mask mixed with PC condish. Roller set and air dry. I have not taken down all the rollers yet but so far so good. The hair does not feel sticky and heavy like when i used that cantu stuff.

Later Ladies.
 
That's okay honey, welcome.

Ummm...:look:....*taps Aggie on the shoulder*

Forgot to say...um...I'ma need my special pass from the previous thread transferred over to this one....[I stand by my overnight conditioning being the equivalent of doing dc'ing twice a week]

:look:
 
I just discovered dpr-11 this past weekend at the bss!!
I can't believe i am just finding this! Cheap and with excellent ingredients.
I mixed it with this stuff
http://www.sallybeauty.com/Masque D... Creme/VENITN01,default,pd.html?cgid=Products
my second time using it and my hair is still soft after two days:yep:
I'm really loving this!
I just found out ,by going to a dominican salon,that my hair loves some linseed oil,so that was what i was looking for when i found the Venetian Blends at Sally's.
I'm really happy:grin:
I can not find the Elasta DPR-11 anywhere in my area!! I thought it was discontinued :ohwell:
 
Sweet! I got my DC in tonight - I mixed up some Eqyss Cream Rinse and Elasta QO and honeyquat and some water together, and poured it over my head. I added the water because I'm in two strand twists, and I didn't want to do too much manipulation to them, and the waterier conditioner just soaked right in.
Then, I put on a showercap, and worked out for 45 minutes, so that made my scalp heat up, and added a nice heat treatment to the mix. :woot:
Rinsed it out, applied MT on my damp scalp, sealed with some Brahmi oil, and I'm done!
My hair feels very smooth and soft now, and it looks pretty shiny, too.

That sounds like such a yummy treatment!!!!

Overnight...this is more than okay.
 
I got a touch up yesterday and my stylist DC'd my hair with ION Moisturizing condition 20 min. under heat. I will do 1 or 2 more DC's sometime this week. My starting pic for this challenge is in my fotki and below

My stylist does this too and I always turn the knob and add another 10 minutes on my DC treatments for a total of 30 minutes if I let her do my hair.


Also I have just DC-ed with diluted Nexxus humectress mixed with a little porosity control conditioner and is now allowing my braids to cool air dry under my dryer. They dry a lot faster this way.
 
i did an hardcore Aphogee Treatment today along with dc'ing with Humecto and Humectress since I ran out of Humecto for 40 minutes.

I dc'd earlier in the week with Motions for 40mins. So far so good. :spinning:
 
ya'll i think i need to add a protein co to my mane. I have been using a mix of my thermasilk moisture, cmp, acv, spp...but i was wondering what do ya'll think when it comes to a 4b'er...what kind of protein should i get? I don't want to o.d. on moisture...all though it keeps my scalp from being tender:grin: anyone have any suggestions? i'll have to make purchases over the net so going to the store out here will be a :nono: womp womp womp:grin:

Ha! Great idea! I will do this next time.

I would recommend that you start out with something mild like either ORS replenishing Pak, or ORS Hair Mayo, or AtOne Reconstructor, or Aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructor because they can be used once a week for 15-20 minutes followed by DC-ing with your deep conditioner for 30 minutes to an hour if you wish.
 
Thx Aggie. I was hoping alphogee was in the mix...i wanted to try it but not w/o any recommendations though. so if i was to use this do you think i should use my baking soda,acv,n lemon to strip my hair of hard water build up b4 using the protein? i'm thinking about start back using bought water again b/c the water over yonder is harsh on my dome. btw, i'm cow everyday...missed yesterday n today but i'll bb on it tommorow tho.
