[MonaRae]

Has anyone tried the Hair Detox process SistaSlick outlined in her book Hair Care Rehab?

What's the process? I don't have the book.

 

[MonaRae]

Its a 5 Step process that is to pretty much right the wrong in damage hair.

Chelate
Shampoo
DC
Moisturize
Seal

We all know about steps 2 - 5 (and step 1 for most of us) but Chelating is someting I have never tried.

 

[PJaye]

I do it every month; I didn't know there was a name for it.

 

[Rozlewis]

Monaerae, I have the book but have not tried the detox yet. I want to check it out.

 

[Pompous Blue]

I tried chelating once or twice and did the remaining steps, but did not see any benefit for my hair.

I use a water filter and "detox"/clarify my hair weekly by using a bentonite or rhassoul clay mixture that benefits my hair.

 

[MonaRae]

Rhassoul clay is that what natural85 uses on her hair Pompous Blue?

 

[MonaRae]

PJaye what was the difference in your hair after you started chelating your hair?

 

[Ogoma]

I have chelated once or twice along the way in my hair journey. But, I live in a soft water area so there is no need for that. I clarify and DC monthly.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

I dont want to try chelating because I dont have time for tangles.

I use a mud wash to chelate. My hair tends to be dry and the mud wash seems safer to me than trying to use a shampoo. It doesn't dry my hair out and it smooths it out so it is easy to manage.

So I would say I use a modified process, 4 out of 5 steps every other month.

I use a clay shampoo to detox. Bobeams Cocoa Rhassoul is my favorite, followed by her ACV and Bentonite clay bar. As a matter of fact, im supposed to be placing an order. Lemme head on over there..

@PJaye what was the difference in your hair after you started chelating your hair?

I've been using a chelator for years (once I learned that water could leave behind mineral deposits); and after its initial introduction, I immediately noticed that it:

- Helped eliminate my chronic dryness
- Added softness and sheen
- Improved the efficacy of products (most of the DCs I tried sucked until I began chelating regularly)

I love chelators for their ability to provide a clean slate that enables oils, nutrients and conditioning agents to work more effectively, thereby giving lasting results.

 

[Saludable84]

I don't chelate but I do clarify. I live in NY where we have soft water so if its not a chelator/clarifier or a swimmers shampoo (which aren't that easy to find) you can't really find them here. I've seen chelators on shelves with so much dust, you can't see them.

Please excuse my iPhone

I chelate once a week, for the water in Northern Virginia is not only very hard, it is highly chlorinated. You can smell the chlorine once you turn on the faucet!

I use Shea Moisture purification masque and the balancing conditioner too. I recently tried rhassoul and bentonite too.

I LOVE this HHJ!!
