Yesterday I used AOGPB for 15 minutes or so. I got the rosemary peppermint one, which I'd never used before. It made my scalp nice and tingly! Then I DCed for 40 minutes or so with Oyin Honey Hemp and Hairveda Sitrinillah for a wash n go.

Buuuuut I didn't use as much gel for this wash n go (or oil), and my hair was baking outside all day. So I did an overnight dry DC with Sitrinillah again. :lick:

I :heart2: DCing!!!!! Yessssss!

I know I've been MIA for a bit but......life has been happening. I can say that I've just left my hair alone until this weekend. I henna'd with some amla added to keep my curls. When I finished I had strong hair but man is it dry. Even after DCing yesterday. So today after church I am now sitting with Trader Joes NS and Elucense mixed on my hair with 2 plastic caps on. I might sleep in it since my hair is low porosity and it takes for evah to get moisture in my hair after a henna.

Since I straightened my hair on Friday, tomorrow I'll wash and DC with Giovanni 50/50 shampoo and conditioner. Leave it on for a couple of hours, no heat and rinse in the shower before bed

So I made my own Shea Butter DC (Recipe Here: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=16908703&postcount=20)

I did it as a prepoo DC, which I usually follow up with an after wash DC... there was no need. My hair was softer than I've felt it in a long time (years). I air-dried with a flexi-set that feels like a professional roller set (soft, bouncy and strong).

I also used Ms. Jessies Curly Meringue to set my hair and I'm sure this added to the healthy feel and appearance.

DC'ing has really given me back the soft and moisturized hair that I once had. I'm super excited and super inspired to continue my health, thickness and length goals.

today washed scalp with my shikakai bar, then rinsed with V05 moisture milks. Once out of the shower, I applied aloe vera juice to my hair (after towel drying by wrapping towel around my head), and then applied matrix biolage deep conditioning balm, then sat under steamer for 30 minutes. kept the dc in my hair, and will sleep with it in. hair feels AMAZING!!!

On a happy hair journey
Did a serious much needed DC after neglecting my hair for a week. Did a pre-treatment with coconut oil and a night treatment I finally used up under the dryer for twenty minutes. After a good shampoo wash I did a deep treatment with the Joico MR conditioner for 30 minutes. Thanks to the moisture overkill I was able to detangle my hair without much effort. :)

DC'ed yesterday with AE Garlic Mask with added honey and avocado oil :). Noticed some shedding over the last week and attempting to combat. I didn't do my usual heat because I had some errands to run; however, I did put on a plastic cap, foil cap and a hat for two hours. I think I got sufficient natural heat :)
