I’ve been making my own dc (deep conditioner) well before I transitioned to natural hair. Honestly it’s hard finding a good dc that’ll give you the results your looking for.   I would usually end up combing 2-3 conditioners, a cholesterol, olive oil, honey…whatever products I had on hand. I was doing way too much. Recently though I went back to my old tried and true DIY recipe.

A protective style is a low maintenance hairstyle in which your ends are tucked away, thus “protected”.   A lot of women confuse the two or even worse misuse either style. I’ll go into detail about this on a later post. Loose two strand twists are semi mini twists that are loosely twisted on stretched hair. This style can last 2-4 weeks if maintained properly. Below you’ll find detailed instructions on how I do this style. Step One – Cleansing I recommend that you thoroughly wash, condition and deep condition your hair. Make sure that you properly detangle
