How many DCs do you use???

[tricie]

Hi, ladies, This is kinda of a weird question, but when you all DC, how many DCs do you use at a time? It seems like a lot of ladies' regimens only have one or maybe two. I know I use at least 4; is this a bad thing? I really like the ones I use, and since they are all moisturizing, I don't see how it could hurt, but I like to get the opinion of you experts out there! Thanks (again), ladies! Darn it, the smilies aren't working!

Even though I have about 20 DCs in my stash, I only use one or two at a time. Just never really saw the need to use more than that, especially since I always DC with heat.

I only have two, one NTM and one by Garnier Nucrtisse (sp?) I'm using up the NTM, and then I'll go on to the Garnier.

When you say at a time do you mean in one application? Like mixing two? I always wondered why ppl would do this other than to make a conditioner that does not work well by itself more effective by mixing it with another. But I would see no need to do this one the ineffective conditioner is used up. Why not just by more of the one that works?

Thanks for the responses, ladies!Tiffers, one of the ones I use is NTM Sassyhair, I don't think there are any weak ones that need help, I guess it is just a habit, really. At this point, I don't know which one works better than the other. I suppose an experiment with just one at a time would be in order! Thanks! Anyone else??

Yes I think you should try using one at a time to see which one works best. I think using one for a period of time will let you know. Maybe for about a month depending on how often you wash.

I'm an extreme PJ. I use around 3 to 8. (Mainly, because I have so many and I am trying to use them all up.) I do wonder if it's bad to use so many at a time, though. I haven't had any ill efects however.

I have a few DC, and I use them at different times depending on what I'm aiming for. Even though their all moisturizing, one may strengthen more than the other or moisturize more and then there's that one that does the right amount of moisture and protein. Plus depending how many wks post I am helps me decide on what to use also. I don't think it's a bad thing as long as they all serve there purpose in having healthy hair.

I own many, but at any one time I just use 1 - 2 at the most.

I only mix 2 together @ a time! I've got a lot of DC's as well. If it's working for u don't change it. I know @ my Cosmetology School when we do a scalp treatment we mix @ least 2 together.
