CONDITIONING AND DO IT YOURSELF CONDITIONERS

[12/22, 12:27 PM] Baby: DEEP CONDITIONERS
Deep Conditioners which are often used once a week at most are usually thicker in consistency and require you to leave them on for a longer period of time, for like 10-30 minutes. The best deep conditioners consist of ingredients that can penetrate the shaft of the hair and nourish your cuticle on a deeper level. Most consist of some sort of penetrating oil (coconut oil, olive oil, or avocado oil).
Deep conditioner has a longer lasting effect compared to a regular rinse out conditioner because it is usually highly viscous. Adding heat to your deep conditioning process/treatment also helps with the absorption rate of moisture into the shaft of your hair.
BENEFITS OF DEEP CONDITIONING:
Using a deep conditioner on a regular basis can help add life to your hair's elasticity, moisture level, color and above all, your hair's health will improve because of the emolients and other moisturizing ingredients in the conditioner.
Another good thing about using a deep conditioner is that it gets the chance to be as effective as possible by being left in the hair longer and hopefully allowing heat to help it
penetrate better. Deep conditioning using heat will definitely help with the health of your hair.
[12/22, 12:27 PM] Baby: HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DEEP CONDITION?
 You should strive to deep condition whenever you wash your hair, especially if you use soap or shampoo because they strip the hair of it's accumulated moisture. Deep conditioning helps to restore the lost moisture.
Those with 4c hairtype should not skip deep conditioning at all as you need all the moisture you can get.
DEEP CONDITIONING USING HEAT METHOD
- Heat a wet face flannel/towel in the microwave. If you don't have one, dip it briefly in hot water.
- Take it out and squeeze excess water gently
- Put a shower cap over your hair and place the heated face flannel on top of the shower cap.
- Seal in the heat from the face flannel by placing another shower cap on top.
- Put a towel around your neck to avoid getting burnt by water drops from the face flannel.
This is called improvised heat. The face flannel will stay hot for about 10 mins. Wrap your head with a bath towel in addition to using the steamy face flannel and shower caps.
- After 30 minutes, your hair should be well deep conditioned.
If you do this often, breakage will reduce and speedy growth is sure!
