Hello curlies, in today’s post we’re going to talk all about deep conditioning. This is such an essential step in any curly hair routine. If you’re not deep conditioning your hair on a regular basis, you are seriously missing out on amazing benefits.
Benefits of Deep Conditioning
First let’s talk about the benefits of deep conditioning. Curl hair is prone to dryness and brittleness. The natural oil called sebum that our hair produces cannot properly travel down the lengths of our hair. It’s not a smooth path for the oil to travel down. Therefore we have to add that oil and moisture back in through deep conditioning and oil treatments.
Deep conditioning is a hydration boost which adds lots of essential nutrients to your hair, making it softer and healthier. Consistently deep conditioning your hair once every week or for some people once every two weeks will help to reduce how dry, brittle and rough your hair is. A good product I would definitely recommend is the Gisou honey infused hair mask or the Act and Acre conditioning mask
Do you need it?
If you notice that your hair feels rough, breaks off easily, gets tangles or split ends easily, then this is a good indicator that you need to deep conditioning your hair. How often you need to do this is really up to you, but generally the curlier and more corse your hair is the more frequently you want to deep condition your hair.
How to Do It?
There are two main ways of deep deep conditioning your hair. First way is easier but can be more expensive. Simply buy a deep conditioner that your hair loves and consistently use it every week or every other week.
The second way is to make it yourself. This a bit more difficult and time consuming, especially if you don't know which ingredients are best for your hair. Still, it can be a great way to improve hair health and save you money.
Conclusion
Regular deep conditioning will have huge positive affects on your hair by making it softer, shinier, and much easier to manage. Over time your hair will become more resilient to damage and breakage and make your styling process a lot easier.
