^^You should apply the DC, immediately put an oil or butter on top of it (I use shea butter), then cornrow your hair. Your hair probably hardened b/c you didn't seal your hair after applying the DC.

Hope this helps.

^^^ what if I can't cornrow my hair (it's too short, I bc'd)?

hmmm....that's a tough one lol. Can you finger coil it, or maybe put twists in it?

Week 1 and my 2nd set of flat twists are holding up so much better than the first. But I havent put direct water on them yet. I think I'm going to try to wash with diluted shampoo and conditioner w/ a cap on and see how that works out for the braids. Unless I just continue cleaning my scalp w/ the witchhazel....hmmm

QUESTIONS!!!! Please help

1. I understand the inital DMM of starting the braids but I am still unclear about maintenance. So you are moisturizing and sealing daily? You are doing a whole head baggy how often?

2. When you wash you hair weekly, are you apply the conditioner and then rinsing it out? Or are you massaging in conditioner and then sealing like you did when you put the braids in? Are you shampooing weekly? (or is shampooing up to you?)

I'm taking down my beehive tonight, can't wait. I decided to just do my own braids and since I don't know how to do a beehive cornroll I will do regular ones or single braids and connect the ends.

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

Thanks for stopping in and answering all of our questions LadyPanialo! I was afraid of the mildew issue also, that's why I was cowashing so often And the baggying was just b/c my hair is soooo dry. I recently joined chicoro's newsletter this weekend and the first email was on proper protein/moisture balance. I've been doing it wrong al of this time! I would just apply the protein treatment and get under a steamer or rarely do protein treatments at all. I'm now buying a soft bonnet dryer so that I can use the dry heat for my protein treaments, and use the steamer (wet heat) for my moisturizing treatments.

I'll then do the DDM.

A few more questions just to clarify for my reggie:

1. is it ok to use vaseline as the heavy grease? Yes
2. When I wash/dc weekly do you suggest any specific products or should I just dilute and use w/e is in stash I like Kenra poo & KENRA MC
3. Should I dc with a protein or moisturizing conditioner? And should I use the bonnet or steamer with either while in the cornrows? DC w/ a moisturizing conditioner under the bonnet.
4. Is it safe to use the ORS shampoo to cleanse the scalp as needed throughout the week.Sure, but no more than 1x week
5. Is it fine to spray the hair nightly with a spritz then seal with JBCO or should this only be done after the wash? please don't wet your hair daily/nightly.

Sry for all of the questions, just really scared after last night's mishap and I want everything to be kosher this time around.

NO, don't moisturize daily, or you will get matting and possibly mildew. I don't do a whole head baggy at all, that's someone else.

Shampoo your cornrowed hair 1x weekly using diluted poo in a squeeze bottle, or you can rub the poo between the cornrows. Yes, rinse it out. Do not massage in product and seal while your hair is in cornrows or it will matt.

Thanks alot! I did the ddm with vaseline this past weekend and my braids still feel nice and moisturized. I think I'm going to re-braid every 2 weeks tho b/c I'm so scared of matting. I think I'm traumatized by my experience, I lost sooo much hair during every step of my wash/rebraid process

I worry that you will cause matting from the constant wetting. Since your hair is just so dry, it would be better for you to do 2 DCs per week with heat than what you have been doing. Obviously the constant cowashing isn't working.

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

i only started cowashing this week, i find if i don't moisturize my hair often or detangle it gets knotted badly...

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

Ok, so I took my beehive down last night after 6 weeks, applied lots of conditioner and olive oil, then detangled. I didn't shampoo yet bc I just flatironed the front of my hair on Monday for my halfwig. I put the back in 4 single braids and connected to make two braids. It looks like I'm averaging almost an inch a month. I will know better next/this year as I'm in the inch a month challenge for 2011. My end of year picture is below. I will post another picture with my progress shirt.

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

So here is my real progress from April 13, 2010 when I BC to today after 8 1/2 months. I was 3 1/2 on my progress shirt in April and today I'm at 9 inches on my shirt. So 5 1/2 inches gained. I'm VERY pleased!

This sounds like a porosity issue to me more than anything....

You can try Roux Porosity Control

i have that and use to use it all the time, to be honest i didn't notice a difference...

Yeah you sound just like me, it doesn't seem to work for my hair either. But so many others have had success with it, so I figured it would be worth the try if you haven't used it.

I need to moisturize often bc my hair gets really dry, so I would suggest rebraiding every two weeks or so. Bc if you moisturize often and leave the braids in for a month you'll experience matting and hair loss like I did. Also a really great DC that I recently fell in love with is Aussies deeep 3 minute miracle treatment. The immediate moisture it gives is awesome.
