Summer '09 Deep condition every other day challenge

[ChemistryGirl]

I've been keeping up with my DCs. Last night I dc'ed on dry hair with Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm for about 2 hrs.

My hair is six weeks post and it feels like 12. its so freaking thick thanks to this challenge!

Dc'd overnight with Alter Ego Impac Garlic condish. It's officially my favorite DC out of the three I have (Hairveda Sitrinillah and AO HSR). Hy hair feels great. My 16 weeks post roots are moisturized and laying down nicely.

I have to stop touching my hair today.

I'm over here "dipping" -- If you don't mind, Shay who is this product by? Sounds like something I would like.

I conditioned this morning, but not necessarily DC. I worked last night and was very tired this morning. Plus I tried some different products, since I am ROCKIN my BKT. But I will be ready to DC on my next DC day, which is Saturaday

Taking a break (not because I'm lazy this time) because I've got breakage and I have to figure out the cause. I'm going to stop doing most things I'm doing then try to slowly re-introduce or tweak. With this challenge -- maybe I'll stop doing the overnight DC's and just stick to 30min-1hr. We'll see.

ETA: Question, does anyone know if leaving conditioners in for long periods of time (overnight every other night) is known to cause breakage? (specifically AO HSR, Hairveda's Sitrinillah, and Alter Ego Garlic -- which I love)

With regard to protein, I've done the Aphogee 2 step six weeks ago, and this week, and the Aphogee 2min once or twice about a week or two apart (followed the instructions with both).

[panamoni]

DC'd yesterday with Alter Ego Garlic condishoner

 

[**SaSSy**]

Still DC and co-washing regularly!

 

[Optimistic]

DC yesterday with ORS replenishing pack, olive oil, and condish. for 1 hour no heat.

 

[panamoni]

DC'd yesterday with AO HSR.

Followed the instructions and did not use overnight. I had MUCH better results. It's really annoying, because I hate to go into the shower just to wash my hair in the evening. I tried sticking my head in the shower and not fully going in...needless to say, my bathroom floor was soaking wet. Maybe I'll try the kitchen sink next time.

Anyway, just leaving it in for an hour or two under a shower cap produced a nice result.
ACV rinse worked perfectly for detangling and the Salerm 21, Elasta QP H2 leave-ins finished it off nicely. Airdried under a scarf overnight. My hair is perfect (as perfect as you can be 18 weeks post using no direct heat). Bunning.

I shampooed with Kenra MS, followed up with Emergencee and then left MOP Extreme Moisture on my hair overnight….

Going forward I will still be washing/conditioning every other day -…will DC overnight on dry hair with either AO HSR or AO GPB – wash in the morning with Kenra MS and follow up with Kenra MC -
