Me and my hair hates overnight DC. I get better results from a 1-3 hour DC with heat session. I hate wet hair to go to sleep. ugh.
Am I the only person that does both sometimes? I'll steam, get lazy, cover with a shower cap and a knit BSS hat and go to bed.
no girl , I steam all kind of ways ... don't catch me in the grocery store and pull of my hat (knit) or scull cap at grandmom's, library... I'm prone to DC (on dry hair) anywhere, everywhere.... and for any period of time
but I always always do these extra long sessions on dry hair only... otherwise mushy hair will prevail
now, my steamer seems to stimulate my hair follicles or scalp
(I always treat my scalp b4 steaming).... i told the ladies in the bc to waist length challenge to go hard or go home!!! ya girl means bizness
iri i think africanexport is doing a free steamer contest.... u should enteri only DC overnight (i have some in right now)...even when i use the hooded dryer, i stay under the dryer for like an hr or 2, and then go to sleep and rinse the conditoner out in the morning...i still want a steamer, but i'd probably steam and then put a plastic cap on and rinse out the DC in the morning anyways, which makes me wonder would that be any different than just using the dryer...
im on break, so i'll probably be DCing overnight whenever i feel like it for the next month, but usually i wash friday night and apply my DC and rinse out saturday morning and let it airdryUm, I know this may sound crazy, but I'd like to know when is everybody doing this overnight dc- on weekends? During the week? Assuming that everybody works during the day, do you all dc overnight and get up the next morning, wash/rinse hair and head to work? I have been thinking about this for a minute.

Yes To Carrots should be fine-I have used it as a leave inI want to try this next week before I straighten. But I'm planning on mixing the Roux Porosity control with my Yes To Carrots, is safe to leave it on all night?
I really wanna try this but im scared the DC is gunna run onto my face and break me out. Anyone ever have this problem??

i ran out of my good DCs and im not buying more for another few weeks, but last night i used tresemme naturals mixed with grapeseed oil and honey and the results were fab...i think you can use cheapies and get good results if you doctor them up a little bit with your favorite oils or other ingredientsFor me nothing beats overnight DC. Althoughts, I must say that it has to be a quality conditioner. Normally cheapies don't give the same results when used overnight.
I DC overnight as well...but really it's more out of laziness then anything...
How long have you guys been using your steamer?

I'm the same. After washing my hair yesterday morning, I applied my DC, wrapped my hair with a plastic bag and silk scarf, and then just left it to get on with my business. I was tired and slightly ill all day so I didn't even bother to wash out the DC until this morning. And it was came out wonderfully moisturised and soft

@ the bolded.... This is the beauty of being on a hair journey and learning what works for your hair
Everything is not for everyone and I hope Newbies pay attention to that. If it aint broke dont fix it.
Personally my fine hair cant handle overnight DC'n without becoming mushy. And my hair adores steam of all kinds, I had to learn this over time though. But it takes time to learn your hair type.
Kudos to you honey! I look forward to more post from you I alway on the lookout for mor twist styles and what not.
I don't know if this is just directed at OP, but I use a conditioning cap and a turbie over top of mine.
