Deep Conditioning is SO IMPORTANT! Post #7

Deep conditioning is EXTREMELY crucial for naturals. Here's why...
deep conditioning is used to repair color damaged, dry, brittle, broken off, and even frizzy hair, basically anything you can think of! Deep conditioners are sold at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreen's, and many other places. Deep conditioning consists of adding the product to clean wet hair (sn: Adding product to dry hair causes you to use excessive amounts of the product if your hair is really thick, and adding it to dirty hair defeats the purpose of it conditioning your hair. It's not meant to clean your hair, its meant to repair it.), working it from the scalp, all the way to the ends, putting on a shower cap and sitting under a dryer for 10-15 minutes. If you don't have a dryer, you can always use a blow dryer to add heat.  After that, you rinse your hair out and style as usual! Super easy, just an extra step in the shower for healthier hair.
Here are few of my favorites.
$11.99
$8.99
$5.97
All of the above conditioners can be found at Walmart.

What are the benefits of deep conditioning?
Deep conditioning treatments help moisturize, strengthen, and lengthen your hair, and should be done at last once a week. I've noticed that doing this once a week helps with shedding and breakage because my ends are really prone to breaking off. 
These treatments also make your hair really soft! rocking wash n go's for a week straight can sometimes dry out your hair and cause it to have a rough feeling. In my opinion the ORS hair mayonnaise is better for softening your hair, the Shea moisture is better for actually repairing your hair and the Shea butter masque is better with retaining moisture. 

You can even make your own deep conditioner.Here are a couple of links to my personal favorites. These recipes are super inexpensive as well!
