When and Why to Deep Condition

Image
I'll admit wash day for me can be uneventful and tiresome. With my density combined with length, I do not look forward to washing my hair. My only saving grace is deep conditioning.  You see I LIVE for deep conditioners. I also know the importance of when and why one should deep condition so I figured I'd share.  I think most women with natural hair would agree that deep conditioning biweekly or monthly is common. I would however encourage you to up your deep conditioning routine to weekly if you have colored or damaged hair. This also includes split ends or extremely dry hair.  If your hair is damaged you more than likely have high porous hair . Most good deep conditioners are protein based and the protein is what "patches" your hair for optimal health.   There are so many ways to deep condition. On wet or dry hair. With or without heat. How you go about your deep conditioning routine depends on your hair texture, porosity, and current condition of your hair.
