GROW YOUR HAIR LONG WITH DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE 2008 - PART 2

[tiffers]

I've been shedding exessively lately. Like golf ball size balls of hair erplexed I couldn't take it anymore, so this morning I did my first garlic treatment. I blended some rice bran oil with a bunch of garlic. I applied way too much though, cause it was drippin all down my face and neck. That stinky crap was EVERYWHWERE! I had planned to leave it on for a few hours, but after an hour of constant wiping and dripping, I had to shampoo it out

Shampood with Aterna Hemp Shine poo, dc'd with Alter Ego Energizing con for 30 minutes with heat and an hour while working out

Used Salerm 21 b5 as a leave in, sealed with Garnier serum, rubbed in some Bee Mine and bunned it up. I lost a lot less hair! I'll be using garlic until the shedding has stopped

 

[JustKiya]

I've noticed a bit more shed too - but I'm not sure, because I'm messing with my hair daily, so - I don't know. Next week, I'll have to do a weeklong hair collection plan, and I've been thinking about the Alter Ego stuff (cuz I am not, not, not putting homemade garlic oil on my hair - - I wish I could, but no. ).... but does it have any cones in it?

I could almost get over the mineral oil/petro products, for the sake of something that would reduce the shedding, but cones require shampoo, and I'm just not going there.

And it did just jump up a bunch of degrees, so it could just be seasonal.....

Tonight is DC night!! I'm debating whether I want to do another caramel treatment (maybe with a lil steam? ) or if I'm going to go for my usual, boring DC.

*sigh*

We'll see how I feel, tonight.

That garlic smell is NO joke! My room still smells like garlic! I think the scent seeped into my dresser or something!

I don't know about the Alter Ego conditioner, I did a lot of research and people rave about it. But that price? I'd rather put up with stinky garlic www.beautyofnewyork.com has all kinds of garlic shampoos and conditioners, have you looked at their selection yet?

Do a carmel treatment tonight! Give your hair some good lovin

Hi just checking in, Im DCing right now on dry hair(first time) w/ Pantene R/N mask for an hour w/ plastic cap. I do have a question , since its on dry hair do I rinse out or do I shampoo out? anybody! thank you.

 

[lakers1fan]

OK Aggie thanks for the info in regards to my questions. I apologize for taking so long to respond; having technical issues beyond my control. I think I know where to begin. I have tried the deep conditioning and it seems to be changing my hair, for the good. I thought my hair would not like it because i'm used to the old school of once you get a perm, don't wet it until it's time to wash it! but i think my hair is liking the moisture. I may join the challenge. I just need to learn how to post my pics.

 

[Mrs. Verde]

I DC'd last night with Nacidit Aloe Vera Deep Conditioner. Slept in it last night and worked out this morning with it still on. Hair was nice and soft

 

[Brees_hair]

Went to the salon today and they deep conditioned my hair with a product called UNA. It seemed to do well for my hair as I have alot of new growth, when the stylist roller set my hair she didnt have to rake through the new growth. I want to try it a few more times to see if it a keeper.

Otherwise I use silcon mix, alter ego garlic conditioner or 10 en 1 deep conditioner mixed with a hot oil treatment.

When I DC on dry hair, I do lightly shampoo it out and add a little more of the conditioner after shampooing for about a minute or two, rinse again and air-dry or style as usual.

Maybe you should start a fotki for now and learn to post up your pics here later. I believe that's what I did when I first joined although posting up pics is really not that hard if you already have a picture album stored on your computer with your hairs pics.

-You simply click onto the User CP button on the top left of the screen,
-click onto "edit signature",
-then click "browse", - from here go into your picture folder stored on your PC,
-click onto the pic you want to use then press okay,
-the pic will then in your siggy here. If you want to view how it looks before adding it, press "preview signature" first.
-If it's what you want then press "submit signature".
-Voila, there you have it.

HTH.

An official welcome to the challenge shortyluv. Have fun with it. I don't have any right now but I love ORS mayo myself and I can't replenish this month because I'm in the Buy Nothing for July challenge. I love the way it's curbing my PJism.

I massaged my scalp with a generous amount of megatek this morning then covered the rest of my hair with a mix of ors replenishing and humectress. Let sit for an hour, shampooed with giovanni smooth as silk and did a quick condition with the matching conditioner.

[Ganjababy]

I am trying to get off my bum and go and condition my haar........feeling lazy but will do

 

[SailorSuccess]

I DC'd last night using this regimen:

Do about 6-7 loose braids throughout my head (got this tech. from the groafrohairlong.com)

Pre-poo-(just added this last Sun.) apply honey and EVOO to dry hair with a plastic cap for about an hour

Shampoo- half cup of water mixed with 2-3 capfuls of Design Essentials Moisture Retention Conditioning Shampoo or Mizani Botanifying Conditioning Shampoo

Deep Condition- apply Queene Helene Cholesterol Hot Oil Treatment and ORS Replenish Pak (sometimes mix with Mizani Moisturfuse Moisturizing Conditioner) put on plastic cap sit under dryer for 30 min or walk around for 1 hr.

Rinse

Leave-In and Serum- mix half water/half Design Essentials Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner in a spray bottle, spray on and then apply B&B Growth Serum or Mizani Thermastrength Strengthening Serum

Seal with Coconut oil


I let my hair airdry overnight. My only question is: When I woke up this morning my hair was hard on the top but soft on the back. Any reason why this might have happened? Also, my hair didn't have as much shine and sheen as I was expecting. Any suggestions?

Well the Queen Helene Cholesterol has mineral oil in it and that's what's causing the hard feeling in your hair. I usually only use QH Cholesterol in my henna mixture, it works really well this way. I have also deep conditioned on dry hair with it mixed in some evoo or jojoba oil with heat for an hour and it works well like that as well.

You can also use it pre-poo'ing your hair. I didn't want to throw mine out so I found all these alternative ways to use it. I do love it the most in my henna treatments though. When I'm out of it, I will not be re-ordering it. I like the Tresemme remoisturize conditioner with B5 for the same purpose in my henna mix.

The Pantene R/N mask you're using will provide the moisture your hair needs. If you can find some Kenra MC or Mizani Moisturefuse conditioner, then use those, okay? I would also recommend some Redken All Soft Heavy Cream or the Joico brand moisturizing conditioner. Abba Creme Moist is great too.
