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

[lilsparkle825]

Yes, I love it! It would be great for everyday co-washing, but that may get a little expensive.

my relaxed ends bugged out from all the moisture *i think*, so since you are a natural who DCs 2x a week is your hair ok? i just BC'd and i am wondering if i should stay with the frequent DCing and cowashing, or if just one or the other should do. of course i will wait and see but input is the best!

 

[sevetlana]

I am dcing now with a cholesterol. Did a Protien treatment before. It will soon be relaxing time.

 

[Aggie]

Okay evsbaby, welcome to the challenge, I'll add you in now.

 

[morehairplease]

[Mrs. Verde]

DC'd overnight with Lustrasilk Shea Butter cholesterol, no heat.

 

[Moisture2608]

I've been really busy, so I haven't checked in for a couple of weeks. But, I've been dc-ing 2x a week with UBH and then I follow up with a moisturizing conditioner (Nexxus Humectress or Keracare Humecto).

 

[miami74]

I DC'd today after rinsing my ayurvedic paste. I used Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol Plus mixed with a little coconut milk, 2 tsp of melted raw shea butter, coconut oil and JBCO. DC'd for 45 min with the steam towel wrap method under the dryer.

Prepoo/cowash with a mix of conditioners and DCed with Keracare Humecto

 

[tycoles]

Just finished my first dc of the week. I prepoo on dry hair with ORS Pak, followed by con shampoo, and finally nexxus humectress ultimate moisture conditioner. I've read so much about the nexxus I had to try it and it is working well.

Friday nite w/ Pantene R&N mixed w/ castor oil for 40 mins w/o heat.

Hi Ladies...I'm preparing to relax later this week so last night I prepoo'd/clarified with a Suave Humectant and Baking soda mix (applied like a relaxer)...did a protein treatment with Ultra Sheen Duo Tex and DC'd with CON Nourishing Conditioner.

My hair felt clean, strong and moisturized.

So I didn't relax as planned...my NG matches with the UPA Clip pretty good, so it's allowing me to stretch. Because of all the daily moisturizing and sealing I decided to clarify with my "baking soda treatment" (mentioned above) again. I poo'd with CON Green. Afterward I DC'd with CON Nourishing Condish with heat (my trusty heat cap) for 20 mins.

I can feel my hair on my neck now!

Wow daephae your UPA clip is gorgeous. I love it. I'm tempted to cut my hair down to your hair length so badly and I just might but I might do so next year. I really want to see how long my hair can grow to this year before I do. I want to cut it or the thickness and protective style with extremely low manipulation next year, ie, no co-washing and 2 DC treatments a week.

 

[JustKiya]

I DC'd over the weekend with some outdoor-work-in-the-Memphis-summertime-heat added lachen - simple mix this go around (Elasta, Premier, and some honeyquat), as I'm not really feeling like meddling with my hair (every summer, this happens - what's up with that?) - and I'm experimenting with some new styles.

Not really feeling todays - it's a little too Dino for me. *sigh* Ahh, the curse of a big ole melon head.

BTW, thanks for the compliment. I love the UPA clip. I've worn it everyday since I got it!

[tt8]

I have done this twice before tt8 but I found that I burned easily when I did this because I usually massage my scalp when I wash so for me this is not a good idea. I'd say wait a day or two in between unless you base really really well okay?

For the thickness and my ends are growing into a "V" which I don't like. I prefer a blunt look at the back. I know I'm actin' all crazy but this is what I like.

 

[Aggie]

I gave myself an ayurvedic rinse this afternoon with a mixture of
2 TBS of fenugreek,
1 TBS each of brahmi and bhringraj powders,
1/2 teaspoon of aritha, and
1 teaspoon each of shikakai and amla powder,
3oz Vatika oil,
64oz filtered water all boiled down together,
Allowed to cool and poured unstrained over pre-oiled hair and scritched scalp in the shower,
Left on hair for 5-7 minutes and washed out.

Surprisingly my hair was very nice and soft.

Poo-ed with CON ultra moisturizing poo, treated my hair with a little protein - UBH con, left on for 3 minutes, washed out and now I'm DC-ing with Pantene R/N hair conditioning mask for 60 minutes.

 

[pinayprincess]

Today I washed out my blowout, deep conditioned for the first time with KeraCare Humecto, and followed up with Salerm21 Leave-in.
I'm thinking of visiting different salons and having them DC my hair.

[SoSweet08]

I want to henna but I also wanted to use a clear rinse or something like color showers, but that's a no no....right?

 

[Mrs. Verde]

DC'ing w/ Kera Care Humecto (no heat and overnight).

I dc'd with this the other night. It was a different feeling. I didn't have to use alot, it was light, and in the end my hair was very soft.
