Deep Condition

What is deep conditioner?
Deep condition is using conditioner that is labeled as deep conditioner or allowing regular conditioner to stay on the hair for an extended period of time.

What is the purpose of deep conditioner?
Deep conditioner serve as a means of adding extra moisture to dry hair and repairing damaged hair. Deep conditioners make the hair more manageable and soft.

How long should I leave the deep conditioner on?
The least amount of time that is recommended to leave the deep conditioner on is 15 mins. For extremely damaged hair you can leave it on for two hours or even overnight. Once healthy hair is achieved, you can cut back on the length of time that is required for the deep condition.

How often should deep condition be done?
Deep condition should be done at least weekly or every two weeks. For extremely dry, brittle and damaged hair deep conditioned should be done 2 times weekly to get the hair back to its healthy state. Once healthy hair is achieved it is best to keep deep condition every week or every two weeks to maintain healthy hair.

What is the proper way to deep condition?
It is best to deep condition on dry hair than washing the hair first and then deep condition because the hair can soak up the conditioner more when dry. Think of it like a sponge that soaks up more water when dry than wet. From my experience the proper way to deep condition is using any regular condition and mixing it with honey, olive oil or coconut oil.
