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

[rhapsdyblu]

I am sitting under the steamer "as we speak". LOL I pre poo'd over night with a variety of oils & butters. Then I CW with Agee';s CW recipe with Fenugreek tea rinse. Now I have a mixture of Alter Ego Garlic Treatment, with some Irish Moss Gelee I had left over, honey, EPA, & jojoba (I know I said I was gonna stop mixing but something just comes over me...). So I am wiping sweat from my brow & glasses as I sit here under the steamer reading the boards. I've tried wrapping cotton about my edges before I put on the plastic cap, but this steam is waaayyyyy too powerful. But my hair loves it.

 

[Aggie]

Please add me to the list I am getting into the routine of deep Conditioning weekly, My deep Condition and wash days will be Saturday or Sunday. I deep Conditioned and Wash yesterday I used 12 en 1 Shampoo after that I used 12 en 1 rinse, Apretadora protein for 20 mins wash and then used 12 en 1 Conditioner with a mix of proclaim Cholesterol for my deep condition and Lady Fior leave in olive oil cream conditioner for my Leave in. I'm going to try to keep this up every week.

Welcome JOI, I'll add you now.

I did a Pantene Pro-V Replenishing Mask this morning and it was GREAT. I'm at my mom's house and she has a water softener, so that could be the reason that I'm so much more in love with the mask this time. The slip was crazy.

This is so correct joyandfaith. I encourage everyone who does not have a water filter/softener to invest in one. Your hair will thank you for it. I have great results after a henna treatment or ayurveda rinse every single time because of it. Get the Sprite model, they are very effective at cleaning out 99% of the mineral deposits in hard water compared to less than 40% for most other brands.

DC'd with Nexxus Humectress overnight on Thursday and all day today.

 

[sevetlana]

Have not checked in a while. I dced twice last week. I have been dcing now for most of the day.

 

[MonaLisa]

Tonight: Conditioner mix (Pantene RN Mask, Profective and some mish mosh of leftovers) on head for 1 1/2 hours under plastic cap.

 

[Healthb4Length]

Saturday night I washed with ABBA shampoo and DCed with Fredrik Fekkai (sp?) Intensive Shea Mask. My hair felt nice and moist but I might have to cowash today because this weather is making my hair so nasty!

ok...so i know i have been MIA since i put these twists in, but now that i have been using MT for a week i know i need to DC - but i have casts on my legs and rinsing in the shower is out

while i try to figure out something...i DC'd my mom's hair last night with kenra mc and EVOO, then she decided to BC on me then this afternoon i got my 13 y/o sister to mix up some DC for her twists. i literally said to her "lets see if you can mix up a good DC" and 10 minutes later she was back with the creamiest looking concoction of kenra mc, honey, and EVOO that i have ever seen. i mean, i do these mixes a lot, but while mine look lumpy hers looked exactly like vanilla pudding. i was shocked and i told her so!!! i applied it to her hair (mainly the first 1/3 of her twists of course) and she is now watching MTV with a plastic cap on...and all i can do is look at her and smile. she will rinse in the shower around midnight. i love LHCF not only for what it has done for me but obviously what it has done for her as well.

AWWW! This sounds like such a special moment with your lil sis. Thanks for sharing lilsparkle. I'm so happy to hear that even our extended families are benefitting from lhcf.

My sister came into my room tonight asking me when are we gonna be henna'ing our hair "AGAIN and when was she gonna get to put the white stuff on her scalp AGAIN?" (White stuff is my MT by the way)..... I was like "huh?" I asked her if she knew how much this stuff was costing me? She says "How much" I says "You don't really wanna know.....seriously" She **rolls eyes** says she'll pay me, but I know that she won't.

 

[Aggie]

Anyway, I decided to do a quick conditioner tonight with my whole OCT system. I used the shampoo first, then put the cell therapy on for about 10 minutes and then my creme rinse and my hair smells so wonderful right now but it isn't as soft as I was hoping it would be so I guess I would have to DC with a moisyurizing DC tomorrow. It feels kinda strong actually which is still good.

henna-ing with your sis sounds FUN, i may have to look into that! i already wanna do it when i get to APL, so maybe she will want to join in since it doesnt require heat and is not really a chemical...she told me when she was 11 that she was NEVER gonna use another chemical on her hair, and heat is out of the question as well. all i could say was EXCUSE ME little lady...lol

i know when i go back to school in august i will have to get them their own bottle of MT or at least let them know where i ordered it. maybe by then it will be working so well that looking at the bottle wont freak them out, cause right now i definitely have the black bottle hidden so that all they see is the applicator bottle...i dont have time to explain why they are using horse products, at least not yet. LOL

but she saw me adding the oil to the MT...btw last time i did 4oz MT and 20 drops oil and we went through it in a week, so this time i did 3oz MT and 1oz oil...and she was watching very intently, so i am sure this is something else she could do. i have her apply my MT to my scalp and i do hers. she even did my mom's the other night, and was eager to help me make our braid spray...smart kid, she is.

Your sister already sounds like she is a young mixologist in the making and you are a great teacher. These are moments to treasure with our siblings.

DC tonight with Pantene RN mask. It was glorious, as usual. I fell asleep with it on though, so what started out as an hour with heat ended up an hour with heat and 3 hours without. My hair still came out moisturized and great, so it's all good.

Your hair is beautiful sandyrabbit and welcome to the challenge.

 

[chebaby]

does using the ojon restoritive treatment overnight count as deep conditioning?
tonight i am going to do this as i have been doing so every three days for the past couple of weeks . my hair comes out so smooth and soft and silky...yum.
i just went and got the big jar today . its well worth it because the small jar last a long time and the jar is so small. and i am apl and still dont have to use a lot.

 

[MonaLisa]
