The Best Deep Conditioners For Natural Hair

It’s no lie that when we naturals deep condition our hair, we feel a certain type of way! It’s like God himself blessed our hair and anointed it with his (olive) oil

Preach!

If your deep conditioner is not giving you this much life, gurl you deserve so much better! That’s why I wrote this post because every fro should be as soft as soft can be. Let’s get a bit technical first

Conditioning vs Deep Conditioning

Conditioners work on the surface of the hair to close the cuticle and puts moisture back in the hair after shampooing. Conditioners for this are also called rinse out conditioners and usually come with a matching shampoo. It’s left on for 3 to 5 mins then washed out.

Deep conditioners targets specific hair concerns e.g. excessive breaking etc and penetrates deeper into the hair shaft to repair, rebuild and restore. Deep conditioners are also called hair masks, masque, hair treatments etc and are left on longer. Heat will activate the active ingredients and allow it to penetrate quicker.

Technically you can turn your rinse out conditioner to a deep conditioner with added heat but it’s always best to actually get a deep conditioner has it will have more benefits for your hair

How Often Should I Deep Condition?

The answer isn’t set in stone but recommended at least once a week or every wash day for coarser/dryer hair textures. I have 4c natural hair so I deep condition every wash day.

Why Deep Condition

Besides the softness you get, deep conditioners actually target specific hair concerns. They are also packed with nutrients and benefits that regular rinse our conditioners don’t have.

CURL HARMONY 1ST LOOK

Hey loves, how’s everyone doing? So this post will be the 1st impressions on some Curl Harmony products I received last week. I feel as though this post is late lol forgive me.

So I featured Curl Harmony in my product collection series, you can view the post the clicking this link >> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-Bn What’s great about this? Its UK based!

So Nadine the lovely owner sent me the intensive deep conditioning treatment, the buttercream and the curl reviver

I have now used all of them and here’s my 1st thoughts on them

Intensive conditioning treatment. I love the super thick consistency of this! The thick consistency is perfect for my type 4 c hair. I applied it and left for about 20 minutes then an extra 10 mins with heat. Results? Super soft and moisturised hair. My curls came out a little more defined! I then used the buttercream to seal in my leave in conditioner and used the curl reviver for a twist out. That buttercream is good! A little goes a long way. I didn’t have to use my hair lotion for about 3 days because of the buttercream! It’s great for sealing in moisture I highly recommend it. You can actually use it as a hot oil treatment too. I haven’t tried this but next wash day I will and let you know how it performs. The smell reminds me of something else but I can’t remember what that thing is lol. I have been thinking about that for a while trying to figure it out.

Curl reviver was great in defining my twists. This would be the second time a product has been great in giving me definition in my twists. Loveeee. No flakes! No flakes I repeat no flakes lol! I also like the smell of this one.

I applied my Cantu leave in, buttercream then curl reviver. This is a perfect combo!

Next wash day I will be using the buttercream as a hot oil treatment then follow up with the conditioner.
