Hair is Dry, Dry, Dry Today!!


Dunno if it's the warming of the weather or because I've not slept under my humidifier in about 3 days, but I didn't co-wash today, just added a spritz of Jane Carter's moisturizing leave-in spray and a scrunch with my creamy Aloe butter.  At first it was okay for about 6/7 hours.  As the evening wore on, it started to feel drier and drier. :-(.  I decided to pull out the heavy duty deep condish for the remedy. I'm sure those who have Elasta's DPR-11 in their arsenal, know how hard it is to find #1 and #2 the formula has recently been changed to a more liquidy version which those who have tried it have said it is not as effective as the previous buttercreme frosting thickness.  I happen to find a supplier in TX who still has some of the old version, so I ordered 4 jars from.  In rotation, they should last me until next year.  I will sometimes mix my trusty camellia oil in with it, but today I just used straight from the jar, added a bit of warm water to lather a bit and slapped on my plastic cap.  Too hot in here for steam tonight, so I'm under my heat cap and then I will scarf it, sleep and rinse it out in the am.  I'm sure my tresses will be happy come morning!!

Hmm...do share how it comes out. I'm curious. Btw, when did you last steam condition your hair?

Hiya! The last time I steamed was this past Monday. I try to do it at least once a week and go for twice if I have time, especially now in the winter. It came out moisturized, but I can definitely tell the difference and I get more moisture locked in my strands when I steam as opposed to doing the hot cap.
