How to deep condition

As I mentioned in some of my earlier posts, I deep condition my hair EVERY time I wash it. My hair benefits TREMENDOUSLY from deep conditioning.

Deep conditioning makes the hair soft and prevents breakage. It moisturizes and hydrates the hair. If you have damaged, dry, or brittle hair, regular deep conditioning can aid in restoring it.

There are a few ways that you can deep condition your hair, but the method I use most often is with a hooded dryer. I do this not only because it is fast and convenient, but because the heat from the dryer opens up the hair follicles and pores and allows the conditioner to penetrate.

What you will need:




A hooded dryer, and a good moisturizing or protein building conditioner.


Since I wash my hair in sections, I continue to work in sections as I deep condition also. This stops detangling. I apply conditioner all over each section of my hair and re-plait.


Next, I sit under the hooded dryer for about 15-20 minutes on low heat. Feel free to watch TV, read a magazine, work on crafts, ect during this time lol.



Lastly I rinse the hair off in sections and re-plait so that I can style. You can let your hair air dry, style while wet, or blow dry- its up to you!
