Hi, Ladies, haven't check in for awhile - busy with work - but have been faithful with dc 2-3 times a week. I was first worried about overmoisturizing but my hair seems to love it. Yesterday I was at Sally's (know I had no business going in there, the PJ that I am) & they were having a sale. So I bought several different kinds of conditioners. I tried the Silk Elements Megasilk olive moisturizing treatment mixed with the megasilk moisturizing treatment (they had a buy one get one free sale so I bought one olive & regular/plain moisturizing treatment). You have to be careful with this brand because some of their moisturizers have mineral oil as the second conditioner.
I washed with Lady Aggie's Ayuverdic CW recipe & then dc'd with the mixture of the 2 Silk Elements conditioners. I have been saying I have not found "IT" when it comes to dc. But, I just may have found it. I did not put anything else in with this cause I wanted to see how it did without mixing in oils, saa, etc. My hair loved it. I will do it again to see how my hair does. But it felt soooooo good. I am sure I will be keeping these products in my reg. Now I have all these other conditioners I purchased. Oh, well,
I can use them up with my cw since I cw daily.

I got a wash and deep cond at the dominican salon yesterday. I kept trying to see what products they used, but couldn't figure it out. My hair came out so soft, moisturized, and full of body.

I haven't checked in here in awhile, but I'm finally DCing with some Alter Ego Garlic treatment under a heating cap. I can hear my hair saying "aaaahhhhhhh". I'm loving it. This is definitely my staple DC.

Wow who woulda thunk!! I joined this challenge..... Aaaaaaand totally forgot.
I'm back in line here, and stepping it up for the next three months leading up to my 1 yr LHCF Anniversary. My goal is to be at or near APL by then.
So today I washed w/ Dove moisturizing shampoo for damaged hair w/ repair serum (like it because it doesn't have any harsh sulfates and doesn't strip my hair. Plus the price was right), applied porosity control in the shower and a mix of Aphogee 2min Reconstr., Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Conditioner, and salt and let that sit on my hair for 5 mins in the shower then rinsed. Then I applied this new DC that I found at Sally's - Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturizing Conditioner (mixed in a little more salt as well). I'm sitting under heat for about 30 mins and will roller set.
I will post a review of this conditioner because it's on sale at Sally's for buy one get one free, and if it's the bee's knees, then some of you may wanna run and get it! lol.
I will definitely do my dc's 2x a week.

Hi Foxie, long time no see, welcome back.

Hey, foxie, that's the one I mentioned in my post. I love it. Made my hair super soft. I have used it again & got the same results. I am planning on adding baking soda & lemon or lime juice next time. Silk Elements daily moisturizers have mineral oil in them so I did not get those. But the "treatments" were mineral oil free. I hope you have a good result also.
And welcome back

i'll be deep conditioning 3 days a week (every other day)
now that the colder months are coming.
mondays (1 hour - dry hair, no shampoo afterward)
wednesdays (1 hour - dry hair, no shampoo afterward)
fridays (overnight - dry hair on week 1, no shampoo & baking soda clarified hair on week 2)
orrrr it might just be because i'm really loving the effects of the lustrasilk shea? hahaha.
i dc'ed with it again last night
same great results
possibly even better than the first time?
i did it on dry hair this time
so maybe my hair soaked up more of the goodness.
i was going all around after work trying to find places so i could stock up on this
but it looks like i'll have to go back to sallys to get it
too bad i dont live as close to sallys as i used to
i did hit a sallys on the way home yesterday (a different one)
but they didnt carry it. DANG!
i'll be going back to the other sallys this weekend
and i'm going to buy 18 million jars.
orrr...look to see if they have the 5lb jar. haha

Girl runrunrunner, you are too funny here. So you used it on dry hair, huh? Hmmm, looks like that's how I'll be using it too.

I'm still on - I was lazy, and skipped Wednesday last week - and by Friday, my hair was TALKING TO ME. Telling me about myself and my neglect, too.So, I've learned that lesson, and my hair going to get a special DC treat this weekend!
girl JK, you and me both been gettin' the lazy bug, thing is though my hair is cornrowed and I am not due to take them down until next weekend. I know I know, I should know better than this, but I am very very lazy right now and I have my hair on a lil vacation for a couple a weeks, okay?

I dc'd with a mix another member came up with... honey, aloe vera gel, jojoba oil and ao honeysuckle rose. I love it. It felt so moisturizing and rinses really clean. Also, it makes the ao much easier to apply.

Shampooed with Mizani Butter Blends shampoo and deep conditioned with Silk Elements Olive Moisturizing conditioner for 1 hr with heat. My hair felt like silk!

Checking in! Ok did a wash/dc 3x this week with Silk Elements Mega Silk Moisturizing conditioner one day, then the Silk Elements Olive Moisturizing Conditioner the other... On one of those DC days I did a hard core protein with Nexxus Emergencee because I just felt my hair needed it. Saw a few splits, and wanted to prevent more... I did a S&D and it's all good.
I'm dedicating myself to roller setting now. So I wash/DC and then roller set w/o straightening the roots. I'm going to lay off all direct heat until the end of the year. I'm striving for APL and perfect ends.

I should have joined this challenge!My hair is dry, dry, dry.
Girl, you can still join!! This is one of those challenges that will NEVAH end!
I DC'd this weekend with caramel - I think (once again) I'm on the hunt for a new DC. I need something ultra rich, ultra moisturizing, super deep. Or, I might just need to clarify.
