I love a LOOOONG DC!

[naturalgyrl5199]

The longest I have DC-d was about 20 hours (incl) overnight. My hair is Natural 3C/4A mix. I did a concoction of (rough estimate) 45% VO5 Pomegranate and Grapeseed Oil, 25% Joico Kpax condish (mild protein), 25% ORS Replenishing Conditioner (mild Protein), and about 5% Castor Oil.
The next morning I got up, rinsed the mix out, lightly blow dried my hair (cold temperature/high blast) about 95%, with CHI Silk Infusion, then put it in large braids....I wore the braids a day, then the braid out a day..... the next time I twisted my hair and wore than 2 days and the twist out 2 days........Anyways...I didn't have to moisturize all week. I chose not to co-wash that week as my hair stayed moisturized and very soft. Not greasy or icky....I could have gone about 10 days I think....But I love weekly washes.....

I think I will keep blowing my roots out more often, but I will keep it on a cold temp to minimize the heat......


Anyone else get great results with a super long DC?

I typically DC anywhere from 3-6 hours but occassionally I'll DC overnight.

I prefer to overnight DC but if pressed for time, I DC for about 2 hours (without heat).

I love to dc overnight as well.

I voted less than an hour because I usually don't like the hassle of a sticky substance in my hair, running down to my neck and ears for a long time.

I RARELY deep condition overnight or for long hours because I get the same results along with an extremely mushy feeling in my hair. I would only do this if I'm having a slight protein overload to avoid making it worse.

I always DC over night. I DC overnight probably about 2x a week. The next morning my hair has enough slip that I can detangle easily.
