2014 Deep Condition Challenge

I'm in!

I'm going to stick to DC'ing at least once a week, but I need to figure out protein vs moisture. For the most part, I'll deep condition overnight under a plastic cap and a terry turban. I also have a heat cap and a Hot Heads cap, so I'll probably use these on occasion as well. When I use a heat cap, I usually do a minimum of 20 minutes.

I have a ton of deep conditioners to use in the new year: Blended Beauty Curl Quenching Conditioner, Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment, My Honey Child Olive You Deep Conditioner, She Scent It Banana Brulee Moisturizing Deep Conditioner, She Scent It Riche Moisture Masque, Silk Dreams Avocado Pudding Conditioner, Silk Dreams Chocolate Bliss, Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair, Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk, Hairveda Sitrinillah Deep Conditioner, Curl Junkie Repair Me! Reconstructive Hair Treatment, Hairveda Moist Pro Conditioner, Hairveda Acai Berry Phyto

O yea! I tried Nexxus Humectress Hydrating Treatment (because I was excited about the Ceramide content). I deep conditioned with it under the dryer for 45 minutes. My hair was super moisturized!

Thanks for including me @Nix08

I just DC'd last night... The first stage was Hydrolyzed Collegen/SAA mix spray, tea spray and rice bran/grapeseed oil/msm mix (on scalp only) underneathe SSI Okra Reconstructor. I rinsed that out and did a moisture DC with Hydroquench Systems Peppermint DC mixed with a lot rice bran, grapeseed oils and MSM. This is the only way I can get my "hot oiling" done... my hair hates direct oils... but the good part is that it stretches all my dcs longer. I as much as I hate a lot of steps I had to do this because I really like the Okra DC and it's really recommended to follow the instructions and do a moisturzing treatment after.

I'll not DC again until this coming Sunday. I'm getting a touchup on Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm in! I will use my LCL steamer and therapy hair wrap. I have multiple conditioners that I need to try and finish up. PJ, over here!! I will steam my hair weekly probably 30-45 minutes after each wash. I love how my hair feels after each treatment. Currently, I have my hair in mini twists. I will start my 2014 journey after the take down....

Sunday is 'fenugreek sunday' for me so I just made my paste and froze it.

My other usual dc day is friday, overnight to saturday.

When Scandal is on I throw in another dc prior to my cowash.

Rules for me to remember:
- Dry DC always
- Overnight DC's must be with minimal product so as my hair isn't wet
-Very little protein dc's on my ng
-Concentrate protein on my end
-Steam DC at least once a week
-Apply moisture DC's to ng relaxer style

Wow, I can't believe it's time for the 2014 challenge already! I'm hoping that keeping up with my weekly DC's will bump me to WL by summertime or at least early fall.

Thanks for the tag. I am in this challenge. I promise to post every time I DC. I DC with every wash. The products vary according to what my hair requires at that time. I have numerous Protein and Moisturizing Conditioners that I will be using during the challenge.

Nix08, girl it's a covert mission over here. Those little suckers have been taunting me every time I look in the mirror. I tried to henna/indigo a few months ago. They scoffed at that and turned a lovely copper/gray. So I finally broke out the Oriental Black Bigen (2 boxes). I just washed it out and now I'm sitting under the steamer. Those suckers better be gone when I blow dry and straighten my hair.
