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

DC'd tonight with TJ's Replenish and a touch of Premier - I'm proud of myself, because instead of being lazy and doing an overnighter, I rinsed it out, megassaged my scalp, and sealed my twists. I was hoping they would be mostly dry before I went to bed, but it doesn't look like they will be. *sigh*
I really need a satin pillowcase.
 
how ironic, before I joined this I was deep conditioning every day for about an hour since April and time i joined this challenge I started deep conditioning once a week and now once every two weeks( I was too poor to afford all that conditioner). I guess I'll have to drop out, but I will say that my hair feels and looks better since I stopped deep conditioning so much.
 
DC'd with ORS olive oil deep conditioning - yesterday. Today I broke down and bought the bottle, instead of the individual packs. It's going to be a staple so why not. also bought dome Mizani H2O nighttime tx.
Does that count ad DC'ing? LOL.
 
Dced with Lustrasilk Shea mixed with Hempseed Butter, Avocado Oil, and Castor Oil

I'm really falling in love with Lustrasilk :D I'm doing an overnight DC because i need a lottttt of moisture from neglecting my hair because i was sick :(
 
DCed on Friday morning with Paul Mitchell's Instant Moisture Daily Treatment for 20 minutes on dry hair, before jumping in the shower. I stopped using Miss Key 10 en 1 (and will not reuse) because the smell was begining to bother me. I mixed it with Nature's Gate conditioner. I liked the smell and the feel of my hair after I applied my regular products. My hair was felt incredibly soft and moist. I will keep in rotation for a while.
 
Wow its been a while since I posted in this thread. I have been dcing, but some weeks I have only been able to do it 1x. I got a relaxer last week, so I dc'ed yesterday. I used my aphogee 2 minute reconstructor followed by Redken total control intense renewal. Will dc again on Wednesday.
 
pre-poo'd, washed, and DCing overnight with Pantene Relaxed and Natural Deep Conditioning Mask mixed with Honey. I think my hair is really loving the extra attention.
 
Sorry to hijack your thread you guys, but just had a quick question. I already do weekly steam treatments, but is it safe to do steam treatments twice a week? I was reading an article from a stylist who recommends that people shouldn't overload on the steam treatments as it could have an adverse effect on the hair.

I've learned to take what stylists say with a large pinch of salt, but just thought I'd ask. :)

To much moisture will overmoisturize your hair and cause it to break. However, too much moisture is different for everyone. If you see any adverse affects like the hair being mushy or too stretchy, use a mild protein treatment and see if that helps. hth.
 
I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been DC'ing 2x a week I DC yesterday with Nature's Gate Herbal conditioner, Coconut oil, milk, apricot oil, and vegetable glycerin

Hey ladies! I'm baaaack :grin: My phone was cut off, so I wasn't able to visit the board.

While I was gone, I was super lazy. Water (or a comb for that matter) haven't touched my head for like two weeks :eek: I just kept a du rag on my head 24-7. No moisturizing, nothin :ohwell:

Today I decided to quit bein a lazy *****. So I pre pood for a few hours with Jehan Pre Poo oil, shampood with Elasta QP Conditioning poo and now I'm under the dryer with Lustrasilk Shea Butter & Mango on my head. It's my first time using it. Hope I like it :crossfingers:

I'll be under the dryer for an hour

Tishee, how's your dryness? Found any miracle conditioner yet?

Lustrasilk shea butter with mango cholestorolnis just plain yummy, if you ask me:lick:. I love love love it. I think I will be adding it to my henna gloss treatments as well instead of the Queen helene cholestorol one.
