Weekly Deep Treatment Challenge

**LauraLongLocks** · November 11th, 2013, 11:46 AM

I did an SMT two weeks in a row. I ordered some cassia obtava to try as my next deep treatment. I oil every night with coconut, and every morning after my CO wash, I use jojoba. I'm trying to make this weekly treatment into a habit. My hair loves the SMT.

What's an SMT? I tried searching and thinking of what it could mean, but I am not finding anything.

Here you go

The easiest way to search for things on this website is to Google "site:longhaircommunity.com SMT". The search function here especially doesn't handle with words shorter than four letters (though for something like SMT you can search SMT* and get it).

here are terms that use to be on the site but are now only to be found at the wayback machine http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...e&articleid=10 Look up what its actually called so you can search for the recipe. If I find it I'll post it.

SMT - Snowy's Deep Moisture Treatment. A combination of conditioner, honey, and aloe. http://archive.longhaircommunity.com...ad.php?t=14635

Gosh, I've been in this challenge for years and years and didn't even know it. I have a portable hooded hair dryer that I try to sit under for an hour, once a week. If I only have 10 minutes, then I'll give it 10 minutes and leave the conditioner in until bed time when I can finally rinse out. When my hair was shorter, and I colored and bleached and heat dried and what not, the treatments (plus trims) kept my hair in reasonably good shape. I love SMTs, but being vegan, I substitute agave nectar for the honey.

I'm in!

Does my saunaing with coconut oil in my hair count? (1-3 times weekly)

Otherwise it's Kerastase Nutritive masque with honey in it for 30+ minutes in my hair!

Ladies-- ready, set, pamper!

Now that I've dabbled with bleach again I really need to stay on top of weekly treatments. Today I had all morning and afternoon free so I did a beer rinse (using flat beer that we ended up not liking). I did the rinse on dry hair that needed to be washed, let it soak in for a couple minutes, then proceeded to shampoo. I let my hair dry a bit in a turbie twist microfiber hair turban while I mixed up my SMT- man this is the best for using up conditioners! I slathered it all over but was overzealous and made too much so I stored the rest in a jar. I guess I'm going to be doing 2 deep treatments this week! I wrapped it in a plastic bag and put my hair turban back over it and left it in a good hour while I cooked and did laundry. SMTs always make my hair smell really strongly of whichever conditioner I used and it also makes my hair air dry 3x faster than normal at least.
