I think I haven't used protein in a while. Odd for me! Millcreek keratin and Giovanni Nutrafix followed by either curl junkie curl rehab or bask cocoa treat or Darcy's dc.
I hour for the protein. A few hours for the moisturizing dc.
I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

I'm here!!! Just did my first DC of the year. I've been super busy at work and this is the first time I've had energy to wash. I washed with Shea moisture retention shampoo and DCed with ORS hair masque under my heating cap for about 25 minutes. My hair soaked up all the conditioner! It feels so much better

I mixed a tea blend of a lot of different teas: chamomile, green tea, sage, rosemary, nettle, rosehip and something else. This blend more for the extra conditioning. I added about 1.5 cups of this tea, while hot to 3 tbsp of fenugreek. I then used an immersion blender to blend it and added more tea as needed. I was supposed to add oil but I forgot last week. I could have used more tea but it was ok. It is like a thick gel.
It rinsed out easily and I didn't have any particles that others speak about. I actually didn't take out my flat twist to rinse, so it worked pretty well.

Plan to do a protein DC after my vatika oil prepoo with AO GPB, then follow that up with a moisture DC with rhassoul clay.

Does that smell like garlic or is it unscented?

Today I used Aphogee 2 min reconstructor, and decided to give Shea Moisture deep treatment mask a second chance. I used this two weeks ago for the first time, and was not happy with the results. It didn't seem to really moisturize my hair.
Today, I decided to add some olive oil into the conditioner. I still think that it is strange for the label to say add oil for more moisture. I feel that if you are selling a deep conditioner that is supposed to moisturize, then you should produce something that will impart as much moisture as possible. At any rate, I did add olive oil, combed through my hair, put on a plastic cap, and sat under the dryer for half hour.
At the end of the half hour, I didn't feel that it had helped my hair at all. In fact, I ended up rinsing the condition out in the shower and using Aussie 3 min because I didn't like the feel of my hair. Shea Moisture doesn't provide any slip to my hair. I find that very interesting since I am now using a shea butter that I make in my hair.
I think that I have given Shea Moisture a fair try by using it twice, so out it goes. (I'm probably trying to make room for the Darcy pumpkin conditioner that I keep reading about!)

Ended up adding two other things to my dc. I added Vatika Frosting and honey along with JBCO to the last of my MD Coconut Apricot Creme Condish. My hair feels so good and I just finished applying it. I'm under the dryer now and plan on rd'ing with heat for 30 mins.

Hello All,
Thanks for adding my Nix08 and happy new year everyone. I have been missing for a minute but will never give up my ladies on this board! Checking in to say that I am up for this challenge.
I had a touch up (texturizer) yesterday, with a blow dry, trim and style so I wont be DCing until next week. My stylist said that my hair is way too dry (it is the truth) so I am trying to transition to products with more glycerine and less protein and will have to stock up on some DCs. The only ones that I have right now are Matrix Biolage and a DC from the Kerasoft line that my salon sells.

Dc-ed an hour with BASK Whiskey Soak under heat cap followed by an hour moisturizing with a combo of YAM and Cocoa Bark. I wish I could eat my head...

Dryer deep conditioning w/tea spray/hydrolyzed collagen & silk amino acids spray/SSI Okra Reconstructor (with seaweed) on top. Will rinse that out later and sit under the dryer with: tea spray under HQS Peppermint DC mixed with seaweed & rice bran oil/grapeseed/msm mix.

I used wen to cleanse my hair (for some reason, my scalp seemed to need it) and then applied my trusty food conditioners (avocado, heavy whipping cream, honey, grapeseed oil and banana) but left it in over night. In the morning, I rinsed, and applied a regular deep conditioner (random macadamia nut one just for the scent).
I am going to cut down my treatments because retwisting my hair is now taking a lot longer!
