-subscribing-

even if i can't join there are LOTS of great tips in here! i have three different hair types i'm trying to learn about (mine, my mom's and my sister's) so this is awesome. i will try to start when i buy some more DC. good luck ladies!
 
Really? Deep conditioning... *I can't remember the last time I had one; it's time*

Your hair is very pretty... :)

I don't know if I can stand thicker hair, though.
 
what does silk peptide do?

I've gotten mine from fnwl so here's their exerpt:
Silk Peptide Powder consists of 18 silk amino acids.In formulations, the skin protein can be absorbed into the skin and hair to provide moisture balance and to promote suppleness, shine and elasticity. It imparts a silky, smooth feel to the skin. Use at 2 - 5% by weight in creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, bubble baths, shower gels and other skin and hair care products.
 
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.

thx aggie, the mdc has been on my mind so i will grab one. i've been looking 4 saa 4 a month now where can i find some?
 
:ohwell:5-4-08 I dc'd with Mizani Hydra fuse. My texture felt weird.
5-7-08 I dc'd after washing my hair. I dc'd using avacado,mayo,peppermint oil, gylcerin, aloe, msm, honey and 2 dollops of Mizani Hydra Fuse. My texture was weird again. I think I am going back to DC before I was my hair always comes out softer.
 
Gotcha Aggie, I was thinking of doing my Aphogee Treatment havent had one in about 3 months. Do you think thats too strong or will I be ok?

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?
 
Dc'd last night with Affirm 5in1 and then Mizani moisturefuse. I am trying to use these two up so I can use ORS mayo and Keracare Humecto exclusively.
 
Mandy4610 how does the Mizani turn your texture? I can't get rid of mine quick enough I have the jumbo bottle :wallbash: not to mention I have some infusium 23 I need to get rid of. I want to start using LeKair Cholesterol Plus for my dc I wand to try out the ORS to. I don't want to become a PJ.
 
I forgot to update:
Sunday: DC with Garnier color shield
Tuesday: DC with DOO GRO (really good), no cones either!!! yay

MY hair hates mizani hydrafuse too. I had a whole 32 oz bottle that I gave to one of my nieces.

Either of the Aphogee treatments would be okay especially if you haven't used any protein in 3 months. If you have the aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructor, it;s mild enough to be used once a week or every 2 weeks.
 
I did my dc on dry hair last night. I used the Elasta QP DPR11 and my hair still feels a little hard. I put a little NTM anti-frizz creme in and it softened up. Also baggying right now. I can't wait until the weekend. I am gonna buy some of that Mizani and hope that makes a difference. I think I will dc on Saturday and use a clairfyer to poo.
 
I Dc today and got my hair pressed!(dont know how long that will last) but my sister came to me and she said i dont know what you are doing to your hair but whatever the crap that you are putting on your hair is working...it was dark in the room and she started to yell turn on the light turn on the light i can tell it has grown your hair has never been that long:look: my mom called me from her job asking if it had grown i told her yes even though when my hair was natural i would tell them that all the time oh well....:ohwell:
They would always laugh at me but now....well you should know the rest!
 
First dc of the week with lustersilk aloe vera cholesterol been on my head for about a hour now will rinse out in the shower around 11pm.
I will dc again on sunday to make the 2 a week quote.
 
I just dc'd with one of shescentit's conditioners, can't remember which one.... But my hair smells :lick:
 
I have to say I'm lovin the way my hair came out with the Nacidit Olive Oil condish concoction I made. I'm going to stick to using it the next few weeks and see if it continues to make a difference.

I'm DCing again tonight, as I speak, with Queen Helene Cholesterol mixed with ORS OO Replenishing pak. I will DC again on Sunday. I'm DCing 3xs a week. Is that too much?
 
Will be DCing today with Shescentit's Fortifying Mask for 1hr (30 Minutes with Heat and 30 without), afterwards I'll rollerset. I just love the smell of this mask and how it makes my hair feels.
 
Did my first deep condition yesterday with silk elements mega choleterol ... I have the aphogee 2 min reconstructor as well so I think i'll rotate them. Use the silk elements deep conditioner with my weekly shampoo and then aphogee with my mid week deep condition.

My starting length is here : http://public.fotki.com/topsyturvy86/

I made a new album just for it so I can track my progress prolly every 2 weeks :yep:

Hi tycoles, I am making a new recommendation on the Elasta QP DPR 11 and that is to chuck it. I think that either the formula has changed in that conditioner or something else is horribly wrong with it. Many ladies are not getting good results with it. I find that when I use it with a hot oil rinse then add the Elasta QP DPR 11, then put it on my hair, it works a lot better this way. Perhaps try this method first and if it still doesn't work, then chuck it.
