Update for Deep Conditioning Challenge

Hello everyone! I hope all is well. It’s been about a month now, and I hope everyone is remaining strong with the DC Challenge.

Now I got a lot of questions from time to time on applying DC to hair and so forth, so I made a new video and you can check it out here:

Here are the ingredients for the Deep Conditioner I was using:

• 1/2 Jar Organics by Africa’s Best Tea Tree Cholesterol
• cap full of Amla Oil
• 1 teaspoon Castor Oil
• 2 oz coconut milk (or 1/2 of a regular tea cup’s worth)
• tad bit of Honey
• 1 teaspoon Patience Hair Growth oil which contains: Biotin, Sulfur, Coconut,Olive,Camellia,Jojoba, Avocado,Emu, & Essential oils
• Vitamin E oil made with corn oil,wheat germ oil and lemon oil and Vit E oils

Hope this helps, and also please comment below and let me know how the DC Challenge is going for you.

By the way I should add, in case you missed the steps: here they are on how to effectively DC:

1. Mix and match to your desire. You alone know your hair best. If you happen to like a few conditioners, now is you chance to blend them together. Of-course you can always make your own conditioner, like the avacado blend posted a few days ago.
2. Saturate the hair thoroughly. The worst thing to do, is deep condition one area of your hair more so than another. While one area thrives, the other suffers from lack of attention.
3. Cover it with a plastic cap or a plastic bag. Let’s face it, you need to trap the moisture in there. Leaving it uncovered allows it to dry up, what good is that?
4. Use Heat! Yes, yes..Heat is your friend when it comes to deep conditioning. Now you only need heat for the first 20mins. This allows for the cuticles of your hair to be opened and receptive to the conditioner you have placed on your hair. So while you have the conditioner in and the plastic cap/bag on, sit under a conditioning cap. You could find many great choices at Sally’s and any Beauty Supply Stores for that matter.  By the way, you can use the heated towel method as well. Instead of the conditioning cap, get a towel you’ve made wet by hot water, that was then placed in the microwave for 1-2 mins. Wrap the heated towel over the plastic bag on your head and then cover that with another plastic bag/cap.
5. After the heat let it marinate…this can be for as long as up to 45 mins if you choose. Point is, give the now warm hair a chance to cool off before you rinse, this also allows the conditioner’s benefits to sit on the hair shaft and be sealed in prior to rinsing.
6. Cold water rinses! But cold is..well COLD!! bbbBRBRBR…Lol..yes yes..Reason for the cold water is to close the cuticle. You’ve just opened it up, now you need to close it so the shaft can be smooth. Think about it, heat opens..then well cold closes.
7. After every good deep conditioning, you need to moisturize well, and also protective styling is a great option. Baby those ends and replenish your hair with moisture.

That’s it..7 Simple steps for you to get optimal results from deep conditioning. It’s UTLC for your hair! (ultimate tender loving care, incase you were wondering ^_^ )
