One of my absolute favorite parts of wash day is deep conditioning. This also happens to be the most lazy, relaxing, and also most beneficial part of the day. Deep conditioning treatments are meant to address hair issues such as dry hair, breakage, color damage, and frizziness. As a lazy natural if I can’t manage to deep condition at least once a week I strive for every other week. These consistent treatments can literally bring your hair back to life. Not to mention it aids in improving hair elasticity and restores moisture to your royal strands.
There are 4 HUGE benefits to deep conditioning regularly:
1. Smooths hair shaft and restores your hairs natural shine
Frequent styling and product buildup can literally knock the life right out of your royal crown. Curls become dull and lifeless. Hair that is regularly deep conditioned remains soft and manageable while maintaining its natural shine.
2. Promotes Elasticity
As you know, dry and brittle hair is prone to breakage. Keeping your hair properly hydrated and moisturized improves your hairs elasticity preventing breakage.
3. Damage Prevention
By providing moisture, improving texture, and penetrating the hair shaft deep conditioning treatments aid in reducing breakage and split ends and improves your hair's overall health.
4. Adds Moisture
The key to healthy hair is MOISTURE. Dry hair is prone to breakage so you always want to make sure your royal strands are properly moisturized. Adding heat while deep conditioning will also strengthen your curls and ensure your hair retains the moisture it needs to remain healthy.
Here’s a list of the TOP 3 deep conditioners I recommend for my fellow Curl Queens:
