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

[Mandy4610]

I have not DCed for days...I am on vacation so I am cowashing every evening and then just leaving the condish on while in the shower.
I am in the mountains......mountain bike riding.
I am contemplating DCing under the helmet.....
Nay.....If I get attacked by a bear....I don't want mountain patrol to sit there and try to figure out why I have a plastic cap under my helmet.

Checking in. Have been keeping up with my deep conditioning, now my only problem at this time is a lot of hair breakage, I feel like crying when I see how much hair is falling from my head. Ordered Aphogee protein treatment, hope I get it soon. Guess I should also use a Clarifying Shampoo, can`t remember the last time I did that. It is so difficult finding hair products for my hair where I live. If anyone knows any good online hairshop in Europe that caters for women of colour please let me know. Well am off to Deep Condition now.

I know exactly how you feel trinigal. I live in the Bahamas and even though we have a few things here, we still don't have a lot of those wonderful DC's here that I purchase online, like kenra MC, Elucence, Nexxus, KeraCare MC in the tub and a few others. Thank God for online shopping and LHCF for helping to understand how to use my products once I buy them.

You might want to PM LondonDiva, and see if she has any suggestions - homegirl is a PJ, and she's got plenty of websites/connections on that side of the sea....

Good luck!

Today I decided to use a DC that I have never used as a DC and it's called Salerm wheat germ conditioning treatment for dry hair. I had to clarify my hair today too because of the cones in all my conditioners. I may have to clarify every 2 weeks because of the MT challenge I'm in. I apply MT at least 5 days a week and I cowash and DC and all these products have a little cone in them which is causing speedy build up.

Anyway, my DC is on my hair right now and I'll DC for about an hour today and see how I like this conditioner. So far it went on pretty smooth and silky so we'll see about the final results.

Dc'd today with coconut milk mixed with honey and olive oil for 45 min. under heat in the steam towel wrap method.

 

[pinayprincess]

I DC'ed today wiht Keracare Humecto before my blowout. My hair looked really silky, but all my stylists keep telling me my hair is dry.

I'm anxious to hurry up and get Japanese TR done, so I can DC my hair weekly on a consistent basis!

I've been using Salerm 21 as a leave-in but I'm guessing that the gel that I use isn't helping much.

I'm getting pretty frustrated with people telling me my hair is dry.

It seems as though no matter how hard I try it's stil problematic--DESPITE it being waist length!

I did a DC last night with J/A/S/O/N biotin condish for 10 minutes while I was in the shower...

lmao you are in the mountains and you are still checking in.

oh yeah guys...i SUCCESSFULLY DC'd OVERNIGHT! my pillow was dry and the scarf was still on my head!

 

[Aggie]

Okay updating on the Salerm wheat germ conditioning treatment for dry hair. It actually left my hair feeling really nice and soft even though I DC'ed without heat for 5 and a half hours.

 

[Tarae]

Kenra MC on Friday for a few hours, no heat.
It's official, I love this stuff.

Girl...I gotta keep up with the ladies here...I don't wanna get lost.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief when DH and I got here and they said we had internet.
I will be checking in everytime I take a break from biking.
PURE LHCF ADDICTION.....I KNOW!!!!!

Me and dah (dumb a** husband) got into it. So I drove to CVS to find a conditioner so I could calm my nerves. I was strolling around the hair sections and saw hair dyes. I grabbed Garnier 100% in the color 660 Intense Auburn... It's on my head as I type I'll dc with the conditioner that came with the dye. I'm kinda nervous, but not really enough to care. I'm still pretty pissed, and don't really care about anything right now....

Girl, did it have peroxide?

And I know what you mean about DAH's - make you go off and do some right silliness sometimes, they do.

Oh tiffers...girl I hear you....that totally sounds like what I would do if DH really ticked me off, but girl I gotta tell you it is not the best thing to do..reacting like that. I did part of my BC out of a similar reaction, I don't regret it though......
Can't wait to see how it turns out..I am sure you will be fine....your LHCF sistas are with you

 

[Lavendar]

Yesterday's DC - light protein: AO Honeysuckle Rose and GPB mixed with Hairveda Methi Sativa and Sista2Sista Halt Breakage Conditioner on Dry Hair overnight. Great mix, soft strong hair.

ETA cause i didnt wanna double post: where do you guys get the AO products? i want...i mean, i have to try that honeysuckle rose. i assume it is cheaper than kenra mc.

 

[tt8]

Hi Guys!!!!! Hey Aggie girl!!!
I'm back. Took a little break for myself. I was still on my dc game though! I was wondering if you guys think that I can dc in a sauna (the one with dry heat)??? I just joined a gym and they have a sauna ( l LOVE them) and besides burning 300 calories/half hour could I get a little dc session in also?

[Seraphina]

DC'd today with Lustrasilk Cholesterol Shea Butter, DevaCurl OneC, honey, and EVOO. It's okay, but still not what I'm looking for. I'll keep looking til I find my staple.

I actually cut my hair out of anger/exasperation two days ago. Oh well, I cut off some heat damage, so I'm trying to not be too pissed off at myself. As for the AOHR...you can get it at Whole Foods or Vitamin Shoppe.
Tiffers-how did your color come out? I'm dying to see it.

 

[morehairplease]

dcw with Joico mositure recovery co.

I shop on www.iherb.com for AO and a lot of my hair and essential oils. They also carry quite a bit of vitamins and Giovanni hair products as well. The prices of the essential oils are amazingly low low low compared to a lot of other sites I've shopped on. Check them out, you won't regret it.

Welcome back tt8, you know we're all happy you're back. BTW, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to kill those 2 birds with one stone. I sure would because I exercise with DC on my hair, so it should be fine in the sauna too.

 

[LivingDoll]

DC'd last night with my trusty CON Nourishing and heat cap.

 

[Blessed2bless]

ckn in Ladies,
