The benefits of regular deep conditioning:

• One of THE best ways to increase and maintain proper moisture levels in the hair
• Improves manageability
• Reduces splits and breakage i.e. great for retention
• Effective way of maintaining protein/moisture balance

We know, but we forget, we get lazy. This challenge is to keep us consistent

[JazzyOleBabe]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I'll join this challenge. I am in for the long haul - the entire year. I dc with every wash once a week. I was in the last challenge but failed to post regularly. Will do better this year. I use a variety of Dc'ers. I mainly use the no heat method but will be using my steamer and hooded dryer for the winter session.

 

[greenandchic]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I am in!

I plan on DCing at least once a week (I wash twice a week). I generally mix my own DC using my conditioner of choice with honey, oils, etc.

 

[Bajanmum]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

Yes, I'm in for 2013!

Saving my place. Not feeling 100% at the moment, but will be back with a list of DC's when better.

 

[DominicanBrazilian82]

Nix08... My delightfully delicious plan is to DC 2-3x/week (always with steam or heat)... I will sometimes add an extra DC as a prepoo, but usually after I have washed/co-washed. I will use my Heutiful steamer once every other week, heating cap weekly and hood dryer weekly. Excited.

 

[felic1]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I am in like Flynn. I will D/C once to twice a week. I will use my steamer when I am at home but am at my mothers to see about her for a season. I only have a heat cap and no heat to utilize over here. I will be using my Marie Dean collection, Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk Dreams Moisture Dreams, Alter Ego, at this point. I want to have some fun this winter. I will go all year!!! Yay!!

[TheVioletVee]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I'm in! I'll commit for a whole year since my plan was to dc regularly anyway.

My plan:
DC at least 2x a week, mostly on dry hair
Try using heat to see if there's a difference

Current products:
Cantu Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque for Natural Hair
ORS Replenishing Conditioner
ORS Hair Mayo

 

[Aggie]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I'm in as well. I will commit to the whole year but once a week. I don't manipulate my hair too much anymore except for daily cowashing, bunning, and I detangle once every 3 days. I deep conditioned after my henna treatment today, by the way. I used Keracare restorative Masque and Design Essentials Stimulations Super Moisturizing Conditioner. It was delicious.

 

[billyne]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

can I join?

I will commit to deep condition my hair once a week for a year. I'm feeling bad that I only use one conditioner- Joico moisture recovery. I'm gonna go shopping!

 

[Atdow71]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I'm in for the whole year.

I plan to continue to dc my hair at least 1x/wk with various deep conditioners like: AOHSR, GPB, lusrasilk & Hollywood beauty cholesterol, SM purification masque.
I usually dc overnight if I'm not feeling too lazy.

 

[jesusislove1526]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I am in for the year since I DC at least 1x per week already.

I use:
Salon Care Professionals Cholesterol Creme Conditioner
Suave Naturals Conditioners
VO5 Moisture Milks Conditioners
White Rain Hydrating Conditioners

I use cholesterol and regular conditioners with oils and also mix honey into them during the warmer months. I primarily use the cholesterol only, but every once in a while I do use the regular conditioners to DC. I DC for a few hours and always on dry hair so it serves as a prepoo as well.

 

[Lita]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I'm in...

*Will Dc 1-2xs a week....

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[Ann0804]

Re: 2013 Delightfully Delicious Deep Condition Challenge (Part 1)

I'm in and I'll be DCing 1-2 times per week mostly using- AO, Wen, and CJ products.

 

[Loves Harmony]

I would love to join. I will commit to dc once a week. Need to get my moist game up

 

[veesweets]

I'm in. Going to DC once or twice a week

 

[uofmpanther]

I'm in. I'm going to deep condition once per week either no heat overnight, for 30 mins under my heat cap, or both, depending on what my hair needs and the time I have.

I don't know all of my DCs yet, but Aphogee 2 min is on the list. I also want to try GPB. I also have a curlkit subscription; so we will see what goodies that brings me.
