Don't sleep on deep conditioning dry hair...with heat!

[sareca]

I love that everybody's experimenting and making it their own.

 

[NYLegalNewbie]

Gonna jump on this bandwagon starting tomorrow

I just bought Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner as well as Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Shampoo and Conditioner.

I'm sooooo exciiiiited! And I just can't hiiiide it!

 

[dillard]

ok... LOVED it!!! I noticed a lot less breakage... like practically none. This is the first time in 4 months that I've had such little breakage as I washed and set my hair. Also, it seems to have made my NG much easier to comb through. sweet!!

Okay, I'm sitting here with this in my hair now - this weeks treatment was protien, so I'm using my usual moist protien mix.

Am I the first natural to try this (I'll have to read back through). One benefit of getting your hair wet first is that it's SOOO much easier to work the conditioner through, though, I must admit after I got it in there, it softened up pretty nicely.

Don't own any sort of heating device ( ) so I'm doing the ole shower cap/hot towel/shower cap/scarf trick.....I'm about to go and refresh my towel, as I think it's cooled down.

I tried it today with Keracare Humecto in the bottle. I didn't use as much as I normally would on wet hair which was surprising to me. I sat under the dryer for 20 minutes and rinsed it out. And my hair wasn't breaking anymore like it was for the last few washes and it felt reallly soft and moisturized. I like this conditioner better on dry hair. I think I'll do this once a week for now on. Thanks for the tip.

 

[sareca]

I'm sitting under the dryer now. Another 10 minutes and I'm going to bed. I'll rinse in the morning.

Happy it working for ya'll.

I'm one of those crazy nuts that does hot oil treatment and dc w/ moisture and heat while braided. I done it for years. I always did it on dry hair, but I usually mixed the conditioner with water to help it penetrate the braids better.

You are the greatest. I'm def gonna do my DC's while in braids. thanks

 

[LadyZ]

I actually did a deep condition on wet hair with heat for 20 minutes and my hair was soft like butter... I am bouncing back from protein overload...

 

[curlycraze]

ITA. This is how I DC always.

 

[NYLegalNewbie]

Tried it today...

Used Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner. Sat under dryer for about 20 minutes. Followed with Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Shampoo and Conditioner. Applied my home made scalp massage oil mixture and applied Nexxus Headress leave-in and sealed with about 2 or 3 drops of castor oil. Combed it through and then let air dry.

Normally, my hair can get pretty crunchy when I air dry, particularly if it's not in a bun.

All I can say is WOW! Not only is my hair nice and soft with a pretty sheen, but I noticed a lot fewer broken little strands. The hair that I have noticed has clearly been shedding (quite normal at wash time for me). AND the waves from the texlaxed parts of my hair are so nice and defined!

Gotta keep doing this for sure

 

[InnerSoul]

*OMG* thanks Sareca!!

I just did this last night and I love this technique!
Who wants to get in and out of the shower? not I!!
My hair did feel softer, and I will be doing this from now on. I was worried at first because I had some product build up and I was thinking "won't the build up get hot and leave a sour,burned smell into my hair?"

well it did not leave a smell.. besides after deep con., I shampoo'd in the shower with my Nexxus Therappe and followed with my Nexxus Humectress.. I had less hair breakage/shedding to show for!!
then once I got out the shower.. I proceded with my usual leave-ins and oils, then bunned and tied down with scarf!

This is now part of my hair regimine

 

[Miss*Tress]

First henna, then oil rinses, now this. You are revolutionizing my hair care, sareca. Plus with the exception of henna, I haven't had to buy any new products. You are a genius!

 

[sylver2]

im glad it works 4 u. Ive tried it and my dry hair uses almost the whole bottle of conditioner..so can't do it. great technique.

 

[lennet93]

I did this yesterday and OMG I'm in love I deep conditioned with ntm mask for about 20 min under my dryer, then I rinsed it out, my hair felt lovely and I oil rinsed with rosemary oil as well followed by ntm conditioner. I put some sunsilk straighten up, leave in and vatika on my hair and let it air dry. My hair has NEVER felt so soft and moisturised, my breakage/shedding was minimal. Even DH commented on how my hair felt. Sareca you are the ish.. I will be doing this for now on!

Um, excuse me *taps rara's shoulder* this technique is meant for mortals.

Seriously tho...put the usual amount it will get "wetter" while under the dryer. I don't know why but don't use enough to make it t feel wet. I've also toyed the idea of slightly diluting it and and spraying it on but I haven't tried it.

 

[caribgirl]

I have been doing this from day one of my journey. I think I got the idea from Lexi's fotki. I add a few drops of peppermint oil to the conditioner, add some EVOO, mix with my finger, zap it in the microwave for 5-6 secs, apply it to my dry hair (which is not combed out at all) and sit under my dryer for at least 15 mins. My hair feels so wonderful and my scalp loves the tingling form the peppermint oil!!!!!!!! I can then jump into the shower and rinse out, squeeze out excess water with my hands and apply my leave-ins, and seal with EVOO. I airdry in a pony and I'm done!!!!!!

 

[Miss*Tress]

Are some of you not shampooing or otherwise washing out the conditioner? Just rinsing?

 

[sareca]

It's basically a prepoo so you can shampoo afterwards. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

 

[JustKiya]

Sareca, I have GOT to give you mad props for this!!! :notworthy :notworthy

Not only does my hair feel softer, more moisturized and conditioned than EVER before - I also managed to cut a GOOD bit of time (and steps) out of my routine.

I can take my hair down, put in the conditioner dry, let it sit, THEN detangle, braid, and THEN rinse it out, and let my hair dry. Bam! Then, when I'm ready to put in my weekly style, I just take it down, and it's STILL soft and moist and ready to be worked with.

Talk about seeing the LIGHT! This is going to make things SOOOO much easier for me.

 

[ItsyBitsy]

I agree this is a great technique. Out of pure laziness i've been doing this for about a year now. I hate getting in & out of the shower.

 

[gorgeoushair]

I've tried this; twice with CPR and once with GPB. I'm not sure if this gives better results than doing it the original way. The jury's still out on this.

The results should be immediate. Are those protein conditioners? If they are try switching to a moisturizing conditioner. I occasionally use protein but I found moisture most effective.

I thought it was interesting the J.K. Lazartique line revolves around deep conditioning on dry hair. The pre-shampoo conditioners are meant to be left on 20 minutes to 2 hours or longer, whereas the post shampoo conditioners are meant for a few minutes in-shower.

I'm such a hair nerd, I love to read up on stuff like this.

This is truly great. I have been trying to fight the dry ends and to keep my hair soft. This technique has my hair so soft amd moisturized including the ends and no breakage.

I use Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner and Afrcan Angel Coconut oil, I then rinse it out and shampoo with Beauty Without Cruelty Moisture Plus Shampoo and then condition with NTM Deep conditioner while shaving and soaping. After rinsing and sqeezing out the water I add Rusk Smoothing Conditioner(great for stretching keep roots soft) and seal with African Angel coconut oil hair and scalp conditioner( this is the bomb keeps hair very soft, seals in moisture very well and has a very nice scent. I picked this up at a Dominican hair salon, the ingredients says coconut oil and essential oils). I then roller set, air dry and voila nice soft curls. At the end of the day my hair is still soft and moisturized.

Thanks for recommending this. I just finished my deep conditioning off to rinse out.
I will see how it works during winter when my hair tends to get very dry.

I am looking forward to my wash day. I am going to try DC w/ heat on dry hair for the first time. I think I'll follow with an oil rinse too.

They're both a mixture of moisture and protein.

 

[HoneyA]

I tried this for the first time and I loved it! My hair feels like butter. I wish I'd done this before. Better late than never...

So you don't think this works well with protein conditioners? I haven't used it with a protein condish yet, just my moisture stuff. But I'm doing a friends' hair on Sunday and she needs a reconstructor. So I was going to use this method on dry hair w/ ORS Mayo.

It does. I just don't get that buttery soft feeling like I do from moisture, but it works. I really don't deep condition any other way now... reconstructors, protein, moisture... it all gets put on dry hair.
