Yes tickledpinkies I have noticed that as well. Satin my booty! That's why I use a real 100% silk scarf under a black "satin" cap when the weather is cool enough. I can't be doing that in the summer, though, or else I'd fall out!

I'm so happy to see so many ladies putting their products of choice out there! I'm going to comb through the last few pages and make sure I add you ladies to the challenger list.

Let's reach our goals with soft, strong, healthy hair!

My hair does feel incredibly soft Sheba - like butter. I thought that it was too soft as I was moisturizing the braids so I unravelled them just to check the moisture level. I detangled a couple of the sections and I had 3 shed hairs and a broken one. I did the stretch test on each of them and found something amazingly interesting.

The strands while I moisturized them felt over-moisturized but as I did the stretch test, the strands did not over-stretch or immediately break. They had a very healthy bounce to them as I tugged at them. I was very impressed I might add - and happy

Woohoo!!! That is indeed something to dance about! I have been experiencing buttery hair also, Aggie. Looking forward to seeing my hair after months of this reggie.

It's on a maniquin head but the technique is the same on yourself. Your hands face that same direction. Good luck!

OMG! Where did you get this lovely wig and what is the name of it? I want one just like it. Can I get it online?

I'm so late...my bad, I got mine from an eBay vendor, I told some other LHCF ladies about it as well, so now she only has one left! but you can find it here she's really affordable and I'm sure if you message her, she can find you another. I paid (with tax and shipping) $45 for mine and everywhere else it's at least $65 with shipping, so give her a shot! She also has super fast shipping: from VA to CA in two days!

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Okay I have a question because since this is such a different style of treatment I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the different methods.

After rocking the braids for about a month. You shampoo the air (I will diluting my Dr. Bronners Peppermint Soap in black tea so that I can get my tea rinse in and cleansing agent from the peppermint soap). I will put it in a squirt bottle so that I can get it all in between and on top of the braids.

2nd Step: I will have a diluted mixture of Suave Humectant, Cholesterol, Oil, & Warm Water, Silk Amino Acids and Wheat Germ oil in a squirt bottle and place that all over my tresses.

I will sit under a heat cap for about 1 hour and then rinse it out with cool water.

Question: Am i completely rinsing out my DC? or am I leaving some in there (similar to the DMM). Orrrr if I rinse it out completely I can just continue to re-moisturize my hair with my moisture spray (CFCG in a spray bottle with some Aloe Gel and SAA).



Next I plan

****Very Important**** ​

For those of you that will be following LadyP's regimen please please remember to remove all shed hair after wearing any braid style for an extended period of time (one to two months). Remove shed hair before wetting or washing loose hair after take down.

Why is it so important to remove shed hair before wetting loose hair? I find it easier to move through my natural hair when it's wet

For those of you joining in with LadyP's Deep Moisture Retention Challenge, please answer the following questions:

What is your PS of choice? Half Wigs
Are you natural or relaxed? Natural
What are you using for your DC of choice for the deep moisture method? Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner
What are you using to seal before braiding? Vatika Oil
What are you using to wet your hair before DC is added? Water / Infusium / Africa's Best Curl Keeper
How will you moisturize and seal while PS is in? What products? Africa's Curl Keeper / Infusium / Vatika Oil
How often will you wash? What method? What products? 1x a week with Ayurvedic Hair Powders & 1x month with Shikakai Shampoo Bar
What will you use for your hard protein treatment? and how often? Aphogee 2 Step every 6 - 8 weeks
What else might you add to reach your goals? I take mulit's, hair skin & nails vits and msm daily. Trying to increase my water intake and I just started using mtg 3x a week.

The Deep Moisture method is when you section off your hair for braiding and dampen with leave in/water/etc to open the cuticle. Then you put your DC of choice on that piece of hair. Massage it in until the DC is absorbed and then seal the DC with some sort of oil or grease. Braid as normal and then leave your braids in as long as you plan to. The DC is not rinsed out until your next shampoo or cowash, really. And even then there is plenty of moisture left behind! That's why we need the hard protein treatment every 6 to 8 weeks to combat all that luscious moisture

Would it be too much to baggy a few days out of the week? My hair gets dry underneath my half wig or will the deep moisture method change all that?

Hey there bklynLadee

LadyP would seal with oil or grease while step 2 is still in your hair and then braid it up for the next month. No need to rinse it out, thus named the deep moisture method. You can continue to cowash, shampoo, etc while braids still in throughout the month. Don't forget to DC while in braids whenever you decide and moisturize with your lovely CFCG spray, Aloe Gel and SAA whenever you choose. Every other month or so you will want to treat your hair to a hard protein treat to keep from getting mushy with all that moisture from the deep moisture method and such. Then braid it back up for another month or two.

Thanks for joining!

I'm in!! I'm in!!

Woohoooo!!! Welcome!

Why is it so important to remove shed hair before wetting loose hair? I find it easier to move through my natural hair when it's wet

I think it must depend on how long the braids have been in. If they've been in 6 weeks or more, I would strongly suggest that everyone remove any shed hair before getting the hair wet because the amount of hair that can shed in that period of time can cause massive tangling and matting once the hair is wet. Did you happen to see that unfortunate youtube where Ateya lost so much hair after a sew in take down? Soooo sad. I've had the same thing happen to me (many years ago) during a braid take down. Ediese warns about it in her weave bible also.. I think she mentioned it's happened to her also.

What is your PS of choice? Half Wigs
Are you natural or relaxed? Natural
What are you using for your DC of choice for the deep moisture method? Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner

That is one purdy regi!!!

Would it be too much to baggy a few days out of the week? My hair gets dry underneath my half wig or will the deep moisture method change all that?

I hope the deep moisture method might take care of that but nothing wrong with baggying a bit to see. Just check a braid here and there to make sure your hair is fairing well.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hi Ladies I have been lurking for ages and am so excited to join you all in this reggie. Well here is what I'm doing.

What is your PS of choice? my cornrow skills are kind of wack so it will probably be single braids under weaving cap with sew in curly afro weave. I'd love to find a afro wig so i can co wash more often but we'll see.
Are you natural or relaxed? natural, 4b/a
What are you using for your DC of choice for the deep moisture method? I'll be trying Ors and dc's from the spanish section of the bss and adding wgo,jojoba,evoo,rosemary,thyme,and cedarwood oil to it
What are you using to seal before braiding? castor oil
What are you using to wet your hair before DC is added? African Royale I added castor oil,wgo, and aloe juice to it
How will you moisturize and seal while PS is in? What products? spray with African Royale seal with same combination of oils I add to dc that i have in a coloring bottle.
How often will you wash? What method? What products? after the first month of having dc in i will co wash once or twice a week with aubreys organics and aloe juice letting it run through scalp. then redo sew in at month 2.
What will you use for your hard protein treatment? and how often? aphogee 2-step every 6-8wks, after taking braids down.
What else might you add to reach your goals? i'm taking msm,royal jelly,women's once a day,maxi hair pills. two weeks out of the month i drink maca with water,third week i drink chlorella/spirulina and last week de and water. What i want to do is single out what is working for me as far as the maca,de,and chlorella in overall health and hair growth. So since I will only be checking growth every 2 months I will do just 1 of the drinks for that time period and compare. [/QUOTE]

Thank you The bolded part is what I am having trouble with. I get the DMM but its the DC process that has me all topsy turvey. I noticed that Lady P mentions that after she DC she rinses her hair with cold water (after a DC). I was wondering-are we completely rinsing out the DC. Or are we lightly rinsing out and following with our moisture spray.

***now that i think of it. I was under the impression that the only time we seal is during the DMM. Are we sealing during the DC process too?

You could do either or, depending on how much moisture you need, I'm sure. I rinse my DC out while braids in and then moisturize and seal. I cowash a lot so my hair gets plenty of moisture.

 

[bklynLadee]

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

hi everyone!

Okay so I did this whole DMM on a Monday, I let it air dry over night. Its now saturday. I decided to do a Deep Condition cowash and seal.

My braids are super fuzzy. I looked in the mirror and said to myself "I'm not gonna make it" as in these braids are not going to make it a full month.

Sigh! I want to do the low manipulation thing but im concerned all this fuzziness it might twist and tangle.

Is anyone else having this sort of trouble? What are u doing to combat it?

 

[sheba1]

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

My hair "crawls" out of braids anyhow and becomes fuzzy almost immediately. Always has... but I figure I'm putting a wig over it now so I don't mind. I've never experienced any tangles because of the fuzziness so I don't worry so much about that. I just moisturize, seal and keep on truckin

Nice wig distorted Barbie . It's very similar to mine which I have in a 1B yak/ relaxed texture. I do not glue mine just securebwith strap at the back and pull out a few hairs at the front.

Did a hard protein treatment today and now doing a steam moisture DC ( I BKT'D yesterday)

I put some flex rods in my wig ready for work tomorrow. When I finish steaming I will do the deep moisture method and then twist up my hair until I get it cornrowed on Tuesday. I really need to learn how to cornrow as I not want to keep paying 30 GBP every 3 weeks
