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

[miami74]

I prepooed with egg whites and ORS Hair Mayo for 1 hour. I followed with Pantene R&N Deep Conditioning Mask. I cannot believe how much slip the Pantene gave me! It's my first time using it and I am in love! Now I see what all the raves were about. My thick roots has never has so much slippage! This is definitely a keeper. I'm drying in a rollerset now.

Pre poo with Redken Extreme Rescue Force, pood with Porosity Control. Sitting under the dryer now with Kenra MC mixed with honeyquat. I'll be under for an hour

I'm relaxing this Friday cause my hair's just breaking too freakin bad, so I'll have to put a hold on dc'ing for about a week

 

[youwillrise]

i havent been around in a bit

i had ran out of my kenra mc for a while

and just got some today! hooray

i still have the DC on my hair

i washed and then slathered the kenra on gently towel dried hair, put a plastic bag and then put a heated towel on top of it, then another plastic bag over the towel and then another plastic bag over that with a scarf and a bonnet....left that on for a while...then removed the towel when it cooled and put back on all of the bags, scarf and bonnet.

i have no idea if any of that makes any difference...i guess we'll see

i'm about to go rinse.

it's been over 2 hours

Hmmm, it's amazing how our hair is so different. I actually had to minimize my co-washes because of the same reason. I now use my ayurveda co-wash about once week now and DC twice a week.

I came up with a spur of the moment concoction: SE megasilk moisturzing trmt+evoo+avocado oil+honey. I put on a cap and let it sit for about 45 mins. My hair was sooooooooo soft and silky, I couldn't keep my hands out of it!

Deep conditioned today with a protein conditioner (Hydratherma Amino conditioner) for 30 minutes and followed up with ABBA Moisture conditioner for 30 minutes. My hair felt very strong and conditioned. I followed up with a rollerset.

dc this morning while working out with silk elements moisturizing treatment.

I did the most last night I oiled my hair with Shikakai and Amla oil, then did and Shakakai rinse followed by and ACV rinse. Shampooed with All-Soft, followed by an Aphogee 2 min reconstructor and then DC'd overnight with Redken Real Control.

I had some time on my hands

Sounds a lot like when I have a lot of time onmy hands. I think I'll be dc'ing between today and tomorrow. I also need to henna my hair this weekend too. I'll see.

Co-washed with Pantene R & N Condish (will discontinue after this bottle). Applied Joico Silk Result and left to air dry.

I've been DC-ing twice a week (on Fridays and Tuesdays) DC'ed tonight under my bonnet dryer with Redken All Soft Heavy Cream/Roux Porosity Control. Soft as butta and almost no breakage while detangling. I gotta learn how to upload pics

 

[sky035]

Oh I forgot that I have this conditioner, I have to pull this one out too and start using it again. I, like Lavendar, needs to stop sleeping on my products. I think I will DC with this one next.

Do you like the smell of Miss Key 10 en 1? I would love to hear whether you like the results it gives you, since you mention that you have not used it in a while. I love the performance of this product, but I must say that I find the smell really bothersome . I am so sensitive to smells. I will use this great thread to get some ideas for other DCs.

Lisa, is this the pantene r/n in the tube or the mask? I like the mask in the jar not the tube. The tube conditioner is not a DC IMO.

The smell of it doesn't really bother me that much and I must admit it didn't give me the slip I was looking for however it DC's well when mixed with some hot oils (jojoba or almond oil or evoo) and a few drops of peppermint essential oil for added stimulation.

Sorry for the confusion of my post . I did not actually DC with the Pantene R & N. I only co-washed tonight as I am off to the beach tomorrow and will BC when I return. I posted my starting pic, so the reference to the Pantene R & N is just to let everyone know what I used to achieve the result in the pic. Hope this is a bit more clear...

Oh okay honey, understood now.

I DC'd Tuesday with Redken AllSoft (w/o heat), and used my Salerm21 leave in afterward.

Has anyone ever heard of a "Japanese Deep Conditioning" treatment? I spoke to a hair stylist in Manhattan about it; apparently it's a new service where they put 3+ conditioners in your hair. It was a $70 process, but she said your hair felt like Silk after.

It's pricey, but of course it peaked my curiosity. Anyone know anymore info?

Sorry Pinayp, I haven't heard of this.

DCed today with Aveda Damage Remedy (plastic cap, no heat for 40 minutes) treatment for the first time. Did not go to the beach, it is raining . Followed with Joico Silk result conditioner, as my hair often feels a bit hard with too much protein. I must say that I am very impressed with the DR..... I have been reading tons of reviews on this forum about this DC and now I see what the hype is about. I will continue to use, but will alternate with Miss Key 10 en 1 and the Redken Deep Fuel until these are used up. When these are finished I will try some other DCs recommended in this thread. However, I will always keep the Aveda DR in rotation in spite of the price.

Relxed yesterday with Profectiv and it was pretty good

As some of you know, that Optimum Oil conditioner effed my hair UP! After 4 months of constant dc'ing, co washing, steaming, chelating, clarifying, my hair was STILL messed up. As a last resort, I decided to relax ALLLL the way to the ends to hopefully change what that conditioner did. I know, I know

But it worked! As far as I can tell, my hair is mostly back to normal

I dc'd after relaxing with Alter Ego Energizing and loved it! My hair feels a lot smoother, I don't have as much breakage and it just feels so much better! Woohoo!!!

 

[joyandfaith]

I'm so excited...LHCF really works I just now decided to do a length check since I've been here 2 months and I can tell it's grown. I never really posted a proper starting pic, so I'll post this one and go from here.

Congrats honey.

I have henna on my hair now and will be DC'ing right afterwards with Alter Ego Garlic Treatment.

 

[joyandfaith]

Thanks Aggie!

I keep hearing about this Alter Ego Garlic treatment. I really want to try it. Is it supposed to be used for moisturizing or to prevent shedding?

I am very happy to say that it has both slowed down shedding and moisturized my hair equally well. I am indeed very happy with this product and like most of the ladies said, it's a little costly but definitely worth the money IMO, .
