Deep Conditioning Treatment

Since I'm working on incorporating a new regimen for BG "S" with the Terressentials Mud Wash, I decided to deep condition this week.  This is our first deep condition since using Terressentials.  I think I may deep condition and cleanse the hair twice a month alternating the weeks.
Example:
Week 1 - Cleanse
Week 2 - Deep Condition

Week 3 - Cleanse
Week 4 - Deep Condition
This week, I decided to go with the Greek Yogurt and Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Treatment which I first used HERE.  It's a great protein/moisturizing deep conditioner.  My only complaint is that is can be very messy and smelly.  You can find how I deep condition HERE.

I used the same ingredients with the exception of the shea butter.  This time I used 100% unrefined USDA Organic Shea Butter which I ordered online (I've heard that shea butter was sticky/waxy like but this was my first time actually encountering that).  I always tried to aim for the unrefined shea butter but sometimes its not marked as refined or unrefined on the containers in the beauty supply store so I guess you don't really know what you're getting at times.  Anywho, this mix was thicker and took a little longer to rinse but I must say her hair was super moisturized, I was in awe!!  For my next deep treatment, I think I will try a recipe with shea butter as the main ingredient.  Here are a few pics...

Can you see how moisturized her hair is, I wish you could feel the softness...
After rinsing, I simply sealed and threaded for drying.
 Look at that shrinkage!!!

What homemade deep treatments do you use?

BBH's Frotective Style Challenge (Day 3 & Day 4)



**BBH Frotective Challenge Day 3- July 6, 2012 **

BG "S" wore a Shrunken Fro on this day. She had water play the previous day and had major shrinkage!  No big deal, we just embraced it... 

**BBH Frotective Challenge Day 4- July 7, 2012 (FINAL) **

This Day 4 hair right here certainly has a story! I attempted to do a twist-out by washing and twisting the hair with Kinky Curly Products (Come Clean, KCKT and KKCC), well needless to say it was a total fail :( Her hair was super dry and not what I imagined it to be but I had to swing it...thus this hair style! So, I decided to wash it last tonight...OMG, detangling was an absolute NIGHTMARE! I will be doing some snipping today!
