Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2011 (Part 3)

[kupenda]

Ladies...I'm curious. I have been cowashing more often and sealing with CHI silk infusion. I know it has cones and all so I clarify every week. But my hair doesn't feel dry. Should I still DC? I don't wanna overload on moisture.

kupenda If you're clarifying, you should definitely be dc'ing afterwards.

On another note, have you tried shampooing weekly (with regular shampoo) and clarifying monthly? I used to cowash with cones daily and only felt the need to clarify about once a month.

ITA, def DC when you use shampoo, ESP if you're clarifying

halee_J don't mean to hijack the DC talk but what kinda workouts do you do? I'm a bit of a gym rat so I'm always interested in finding out what new things I can incorporate into my workouts.

 

[kupenda]

Thanks ladies!

I'm gonna do a light protein with hairveda acai berry phyto for 20 minutes under the dryer with some oil on my scalp. Then DC with silk elements original under a cap no heat for an hour and then 15 minutes under the dryer

bajandoc86 girl, all kina tings I do most of my workouts at home or outdoors, I'm kinda sporadic when it comes to the gym. I've found some cool stuff online. check your inbox Oh there's some interesting stuff in the H&F section too, come hang out with us in the RT thread

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

DC'd last night for 40 mins with Jasmine's Hibiscus mask.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Steaming with Enso Naturals Cacao Deep Recovery Treatment.

 

[tiffers]

Just put Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk on & will let it marinate for a few hours.

@tiffers @Imoan Yes....The Okra Reconstructor is amazing and definitely worth the purchase.

Imma wait and see if she has a Labor Day or any type of "Back to School" Sales. I want to try the Papaya Conditioner

Ladies - @tiffers and @Imoan, I agree with T! Love SSI Okra. I will be purchasing another bottle when there is sale. Think I'm officially doing away with Joico kpak. I might use Joico as a fall back plan should I run out of SSI Okra. I've used SSI for 2 or 3 weeks straight (I lose count) and my hair feels heavy, in a good way.

How does the Alter Ego Garlic Condish work? funny I thought I was the only 1 who says condish

@Imoan - did anyone answer you re: this question? You apply it to the scalp and it helps combat shedding. Great product. A bit expensive but worth it IMHO and I think @IDareT'sHair also agrees.

 

[NappyNelle]

Did a HOT with Vatika oil, then steamed with Aubrey GBP. Shampooed with Chagrin Valley Mud & Clay, and detangled with AO HSR & Gio DMC. I kind of want to steam the moisturizing conditioners too, but maybe I'll just let it sit on my hair.

It's official, I'm a steaming machine! I'm so glad I bought it.

 

[bajandoc86]

Imoan hey sorry I didn't reply earlier....as divachyk said, I used it to combat shedding (on my scalp only). I haven't been too consistent with it, so I can't speak to its effectiveness.

 

[lovestarr]

I am new to the forum and would like to join this challenge since I currently DC once a week. This is my 3rd and hopefully final BC!

I am natural and I alternate weekly DCs with ORS Hair Mayo and Elast QP DPR-11. I add JBCO, EVOO, honey, and peppermint oil to my DC. I sit under conditioning cap for 30 mins but usually leave the DC in for 2-4 hours. I will post monthly progress pics.

bajandoc86 and Imoan, I think it's very effective but I've read a small few indicate it wasn't. I enjoy the product.

 

[NappyNelle]

I finally washed out my conditioners. I guess I won't be DCing for two weeks or so if I twist up my hair. I'll miss this thread.

 

[tiffers]

Welcome to the forum and the challenge, lovestarr!

[LaidBak]

DCing now. Started with an application of neutral protein fillier on clean wet hair. Then covered that with a mix of ORS replenishing pak, Mizani intense moisture, EVOO, JBCO, and avacado oil. I'm away from home so I don't have my dryer or steamer. I just have my head wrapped in a plastic cap and towel.

Welcome to DDDC lovestarr

NappyNelle like tiffers said

I'm going to DC on Fri or Saturday. I gotta go and re-up on my Alfaparf rigen I forgot how much my hair loves this stuff

 

[tiffers]

So I cut up four of my almost-empty BFH bottles and it's crazy how much I was able to scrape out! The little bit stuck to the bottom of the bottles was more than enough for my head. And to think that I almost threw the bottles away. What a waste.

So now I'm dc'ing with: BFH Coffee Chocolate, Pistachio Cream, Honey Apricot Ginger and Shea Almond Coconut mixed with a dollop of sunflower oil.

P.S.

I'm drooling over halee_J's avi.

 

[halee_J]

Thanks tiffers it's a wash n go from a few months back.

Thank you, I do plan to try SSI Okra, and maybe the Alter stuff after I read on shedding, (trying to learn what shedding).. ? When do you use the SSI Thanks.. I just thought of something I have used Nutrine Garlic Conditioner, I need to see if its the same as Alter stuff....

Hi, I've been lurking on this forum for 6 mos. and finally subscribed today I really would like to join this challenge. Currently, I wash/cond. weekly and use Keracare Humecto for 2 hrs. no heat and I co-wash with either ORS replenishing pak, Silk Elements or AOHSR weekly. I've been using Aphogee 2 min reconstr. weekly as well before DC. I'm getting ready to stop Aphogee temporarily b/c I just purchased MT. Anyhoo, I've learned so much from this forum and I would love for this to be my first challenge. (DC'ing my way to SL 2012 )

Ladies DC'ing never felt so good...it's been a few days since I last steamed and boy did I miss it I did an oil treatment today, a clarifying wash and now I'm steaming in some Millcreek Keratin conditioner, AO HSR, SAA & Rosewater....and I feel GOOD!!!

 

[halee_J]

Howdy xu93texas! Welcome to DDDC and the posting side of life I see you are also a fan of the awesome ORS repelenishing conditioner Adding you now


Nix08 Not being able to DC is torture, but I see you're back on track in full force Your DC cocktail sounds delish and it sounds like you're having a ball

 

[Nix08]

halee_J yes it is torture.....it's amazing what some steam and conditioner does for ones mood and overall well being! Forget flowers I want hubby to surprise me with some conditioner

By the way your avatar pic is beautiful - I love it...is it a twist out or something?

 

[halee_J]

Nix08 @ DH surprising you with conditioners. Thanks for the compliment, it's a WnG.

 

[NappyNelle]

It's a gorgeous WnG halee_J!

WELCOME xu93texas! Your avatar hair is so cute.

My hair is still damp from last night's steaming. My hair hasn't been this healthy in a looooong time. I don't feel like twisting it anytime soon, though.

 

[winona]

DCing with Mastex heat cap for 1hr(then sleep with scarf overnight) with Silicon Mix Bambu in preparation for tomorrow's BKT

 

[tiffers]

winona The big day's here already?!

Are you excited?

 

[kupenda]

Protein overload :-/. I'm just glad I found out what the issue was. So right now I'm DCing with Tiiva and baba de caracol under a plastic cap and scarf. Gonna go under the dryer for 20 minutes
