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

[Ganjababy]

I can see/feel a huge difference in my hair since I have been deep condioning my hair 2-3 times per week. I cannot keep my hands out of my hair. My hair is lush and softer. When I do not deep condition my hair it becomes hard and washed out looking. When I do deep condition my hair it looks darker and more lush and is soft to the touch.

I deep conditioned Sunday with a Joico Moisture mask.

Today I tried a tresseme moisture mask for coloured hair.

I am trying to phase out shampoo but I have so much shampoo. For the last 2 weeks I have not used any shampoo and wash my hair with suave condioners insead- or any other cheapie or poor performing condidioner. I prefer suave though, it makes more of my curls more defined for some reason.

Girl evsbaby, I am also trying to phase out (sulfate-rich) shampoos and thank goodness I mostly have CON green and red labels left to finish off and they, to my knowledge do not have any sulfates in them. I am still trying to keep even these down to a minimum in usage. A lot of the other shampoos, I gave to my sister and nieces. They ain't complainin' about that at all.

i was going to hold off on wash day but i used oil sheen two days in a row and my hair feels a lil rough. so tonight i will pre poo with shescentit's fortifying hair mask or coconut oil not sure yet, then wash with wen sweet almond mint, then deep condition with sitrinilla(for the first time) with heat for 35-45 minutes. i hope my hair likes it. i will also be trying out a new foam wrap(design essentials) so i hope my hair likes that too.

I did a prepoo with Alter Ego Garlic to combat this shedding. DC'd with a mix of Pantene Mask (haven't used this in a while) and Banana Brulee. My twist out feels great.

I just got a relaxer on Saturday and want to start deep conditioning my hair at least weekly since I had major breakage and had to get it layered in order to save some of my length. I hated to see my hair go, but it looks and feels a lot healthier now. How long should I wait post relaxer before I deep condition?

I am right now pre-pooing with some MT mixed with castor, jojoba and a few drops of tea tree and peppermint essential oils on my scalp and I put some straight MT on the strands of my hair covered in a plastic cap and turbie, and I think I'll keep this on for a few hours before deep conditioning later, with what? I don't know yet, will update later.

But for now my scalp is feeling nice ands tingly with this mixture on it.

 

[tiffers]

I relaxed and dc'd last night with Kenra MC

Oooooh tiff, your hair growwwwwww a lot!!! Also, did you color it or something?

 

[JustKiya]

I'm steaming my hair with some MT, and honey and SAA and a buncha other conditioners all mixed in together - I've been under here for about an hour, and I'm going to try for two - assuming I don't fall asleep.

 

[25Nona]

Man, I haven't posted in a while, but I'm still DCing, relaxed last Sunday after a 13 wk stretch, during that time I even co-washed and wet bunned. Sitting now with Motions CPR, will chelated and dc, with a conditioner mix overnight.

 

[DaDragonPrincess]

I'm always DCing, I DC family members and friends hair too sometime. I will be DCing tommorow when I wash my hair. , I may do it tonight.

 

[JustKiya]

Finished with my DC, my hair feels good, but I can't tell if it's just luxuriating from the steam bath, or if using the MT as a DC helped, some.

 

[Aggie]

I used aphogee 2 step treatment on my hair tonight. I haven't used this treatment in a long time. I did a 5 minute MT treatment and now I will be sleeping with some DC of Biolage Conditioning balm on my hair tonight because I am too tired to hop back in the shower to wash it out at 1:45am, just ain't happenin' tonight. I'll update tomorrow, oops, that is, today...

 

[tsturnbu]

girl, its 1:49 am here, and i am not washing the dc out either. i am going to sleep with my dc and just wash it out in the morning...

Girl you know it. I got up this morning and saturated my hair with some more DC, but this time I added Schwarzkopf Bonacure Smooth Express on top of the Biolage Conditioning Balm I slept in last night and now I am using a little heat for maybe 20 more minutes.

I want my hair to look like a weed until Christmas so I can appreciate what it would look like for the holidays, wierd, I know, but that's what a want, so I am stretching my relaxer, I'm 10 weeks post today and I have 8 more weeks to go, so all this DCing, my hair really need right now.

 

[Healthb4Length]

I DCed with SE Olive moisturizing treatment on my hair for 40 minutes (no heat) and then I finished under my steamer for 20 minutes. My hair was feeling good, loads of slip. I'm so far into my stretch but this challenge has kept the breakage and dryness at bay.
