A deep conditioning regimen should be a part of any naturals hair care routine. To deep condition means to get moisture deep within the hair shaft giving it much needed extra moisture. To get the most out of your routine here a few tips that may be helpful to use.
1.If you have used a lot of product before hand, use of a clarifying shampoo is warranted. This allows the deep conditioner to perform at its best
2. Use of saran wrap or a plastic cap is highly recommended. The plastic traps moisture as well as body heat, opening up your cuticles for deep penetration,
3. If you have one, use a hood dryer. The hood dryer provides extra heat, further opening up your cuticles
4. You may invest any cheap co wash conditioner that you want, but you should spend more time and invest in a really good deep conditioner specific to your hair needs.
5. Remove any excess water from your shampoo or co wash before applying your deep conditioning. The excess will only dilute out your conditioner.
6. Allow your conditioner to sit on your hair for at least 20 to 30 minutes. The longer the better for your hair.
7. Make sure you distribute the conditioner evenly thru your hair, focusing on your tips. Be generous
8. If you plan on de tangling your hair, the time to do it is AFTER you allow the conditioner to sit on your hair for a specified amount of time. The conditioner should help the strands glide over one another,
9. Deep condition on a regular schedule, the drier or more damaged your hair the more often you should do it.
These are just some quick and easy rules of thumb that should make your deep conditioning process more rewarding.
