End of HHJ Obsession/ Devotion
I've considered so many other areas of my life that could use this devotion. This is my goal deadline. I will have to purge all of my unused products and devote my time an energy to the betterment of another area of my life. MBL is my ultimate goal, but I have no idea where my hair will be come December 31, 2013. That will be five years of being hair obsessed.

I can't wait to use up all of my products and get back to my staples. I am slowly using them up. Perhaps, a blog sale in the future....who knows.
Regimen "Try-outs" Dry DC'ing,Joico Moisture Recovery, CHI,etc.
***FORGIVE TYPO'S I WAS REALLY EXCITED.I'LL CORRECT LATER.
1. Dry Dc'c. I have been wanting to do this for such a long time. One of my hairoes uses this method, but it seemed to go against everything I believed in. Well, I tired it and now I like it. I steam dc's with JMR and I was very pleased. Then I cowashed with TRC and I will definitely be keeping this as a staple technique in my regimen now.
2. JMR-Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm- Okay, I couldn't hold it in any longer. Normally, I do a review once the bottle is used up but I couldn't wait. I've used this product 3-4 times thus far. This thick balm is the only DC that I can keep in my regimen as a staple even with it's thick nature. The scent is nothing spectacular or overwhleming. I will use with oils in the future to preserve this product. I am in love again, and Joico is the name. Most know I'm a huge Joico-lover.
3. Airdried courtesy of Sheliese- I Dc'd and cowashed. I then applied my leave in spray, CHI Straight Guard and some oils. I parted my hair in four sections prior to applying the leave ins section by section. I also applied Castor oil at the parts between each section and smoothed the oil over my roots with my fingers. I put a rubberband around each section and twisted it. I tied a scarf around my edges and tucked plaits under my bonnet. I awoke this morning with smooth NG and I was able to comb thorugh it with ease. I didn't have any problems using the rubberbands.Keep in mind I am 12 weeks post with lots of NG and I still have 12 weeks to go.
4. CHI Infra Shampoo- A go!!!! A definite staple. This poo is so moisturizing to me I almost turned my back on my Kenra. Now you know that's something. Kenra MS is the only poo that I've used since the day I found it back at the beginning of my journey. It's a tie for me with Kenra and Chi. I will definitely keep you all posted.
5. Thermal Spa Heating Cap-$15 @ BSS. I love it. I can hear my children when they talk to me. I am not sweating like crazy. My whole living room is not heated up and I can comfortably watch TV or listen to music without any issues. I feel like I get a more thorough dc with this cap. It is sooooooo much better than a hooded dryer when it comes to dc'ing. My NG really appreciates this. Great for summer or winter dc'ing. Heats up quickly.Best $15 I've spent thus far in my journey.
DISCLAIMER- Whether my review is good, bad or downright ugly, I am in no way affiliated with any of the aforementioned products. I am a consumer and I purchase all of the aforementioned products with my husbands hard-earned money. I am a self-made pj without any reimbursement or acknowledgement from any product companies.

Isn't dc on dry hair the bomb!!!Hahahaha...Oh and your making want to hop in my car and pick up Moisture Recovery right now
Yes, it is! I don't think I'm ever going back to wet dc'ing.Well who knows, but I'm definitely going to continue this dc'ing practice. My hair loves this too much.
DCing on dry hair is my fav cause I can cover it up and go to choir or the gym, come home co-wash and I'm done =)
I need that heating cap...I hate the whole set up thing to DC & when sch starts in the fall I won't have the time
I LOVE DCing on dry hair! My hair has benefited GREATLY from this method. Is the hair inspiration your talking about Bronzeg/China Black? lol, thats where I got it from.
@S-hair- I haven't dry dc'd and baggy, just yet. But thanls for the idea S-hair. I bet that will be super moisturizing. I do love this method of dc'ing better than th other way around. My hair seems a little thicker and not as weighed down this way.Now, as for the heating cap. I was about to give up on dc'ing and I had actually skipped a few dc's b/c of those reasons you named. It's too hot and I was already under the A/C to get up under that dryer for 20+ mins. My NG is responding to this cap a whole lot better than my hooded dryer.
@Nikki- Yes, yes it was. LOL!!!! I have been contemplating trying her regimen ever since the early HT days. Glad I did, my hair is very thankful.
