i don't have any citric acid...i could look into that tho and i just ordered some Aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructor last night or i think the other night from one of aggie's suggestions. i've been adding silk peptide powder to my co and coconut milk power...if i read correctly somewhere it said that spp has a lil protein in...ehhh right??? well i'm plan to add the aphogee to my dc's once a week and i'm thinking, well, yeah i'm thinking a protein treatment once a month.
okay cough up a homemade recipe! if thats easier than me ordering online and then pay for double shipping, i'm game.
DivaD04 please remember that aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructor is a protein conditioner and if you use it once a week, still follow it up with a moisturizing deep conditioner, okay?

I DC'ed Sunday on dry hair w/ ORS Mayo for about an hour.
Might DC again tomorrow but I think it might be time to end this stretch this weekend. IDK yet.

I dc tuesday and saturday of last week. I used aphrogee 2 min. for 30 mins and then keracare humect. 20 mins and rinsed and did tlc sunsilk for 2 mins. My water is very hard here... so i purchase a showerhead water softener b4 i do another dc this week. Once my dh installs it i'll do this process again.

I am under the dryer as we speak. I'm DC'ing for 30 minutes using Queen Helene Cholesterol mixed with EVOO, JBCO & Coconut oil. I am using the "steam towel wrap" technique that I learned from Southern Tease's blog (www.maneandchic.com ) DIY Techniques/Methods. I applied my conditioner, put on a plastic cap, put on a hot turban towel and then put on another plastic cap. Finally got under the dryer for my 30 minute DC. I think I will do it this way each time I DC. I'm loving this! I'm planning to DC again on Thursday.

I'm in! Just pm'd you ... I think I need this. Quick question though ... After deep conditioning, can I use a leave in conditioner (motions)? Or would that be too much conditioner? Because I read somewhere about too much conditioner making your hair limp and thin.

It is absolutely recommended to wear a leave-in conditioner becasue it acts like a type of shield/protection for your hair from the elements, sun, wind, etc. It has the same effect as putting on SPF protection on your skin. Some leave-ins can double as daily moisturizers as well, like lacio lacio and salerm 21. Don't skip this step if you can help it. HTH.

If you just had a relaxer, it is advised that your next wash should include at least a 20 minute protein treatment followed by some moisturizing deep conditioning for at least 30 minutes. This helps to fortify the cuticle bonds of the hair after the damaging effect of the relaxer, okay?

I cannot make recommendations on the coconut milk personally because my hair does not respond well to it and I have not tried silk peptide powder. I have tried silk amino acids and I do like that one, however, you should still get a MDC to make sure that you dont OD on protein.

juss did a good 'ol DC with pantene mask. I measured my hair and I'm about two inches from MB...so that's my new goal!
Good Luck on achieving your next hair goal Moni_Kerr.

I used my Ayu powders Sunday night and D.C'd with Alter Ego garlic for about an hour, no heat.
Tonight is wash day again, and I'm sitting here with Alter Ego on my head again, but only for 45 minutes this time, again, no heat. I used to have a dry spot at the front of my head, that seemed to be there like a DAY after washing, but since I actually took time to D.C, it's gone!
Hoping to make APL by next touch up (June 7th) I know this will help. HHG, ladies!
ETA:
I see I SHOULD invest in a leave in as well!
~*Janelle~*
P.S
Any other D.C's I should try?
Open to suggestions!

Currently sitting under the dryer DC'ing with Nacidit Olive oil DC (added some castor oil). This is my first time using it, so we see how works.

Wow!!!!!!! We were definitely thinking alike on this one, because I DC'd with the same thing except I added honey and rose mary to mine. I added to dry hair and sat with my heating cap for 1 hr. I followed up with my KeraCare hydrating poo, and 25 min of Humecto with a plastic cap only, then rinsed. My hair has been pretty wacky lately, but as I was rinsing it felt really soft and moisturized. One thing I know for sure is that I had wayyyyyyyy less breakage than what I've been havin. I'll see how things work out after I'm done under the dryer, but so far from what I can tell this is definitely a keeper.
