Growing Longer and Healthy Hair Tips

Let’s go back to basics: Deep conditioners. Why do we deep condition? Deep conditioning provides nutrients to the hair follicle that it needs to hydrate and nourish the hair for a shinier and healthier head of hair. Deep conditioning your hair will put moisture back to the hair, strengthen, and prevent breakage by increasing hair elasticity. Deep conditioning should be done regularly especially if the hair is exposed to heat styling tools, chemical treatments and other harmful elements. Deep condition can be use as a prevention measure as well. It should be used prior to using heat styling tools, protective styles that will be worn for a long period of time and so forth.

How to:

We recommend starting out with cleansed hair as it lifts the cuticle for maximum penetration.

Add your fave oils for a much deeper penetration. Coconut and olive are the two oils that have been shown to penetrate the hair well. Jamaican and Haitian Castor are among our staple products for deep conditioning.

Cover it with a shower cap. Leave it on for 30-45 minutes or over night. Add heat for a deeper penetration.

Rinse with cold water as it closes up the cuticles for shinier and softer hair as well as moisture retention.

Two of my fave conditioners: 

• Elasta QP DPR-11+ Deep Penetrating Remoisturizing Conditioner
• Queen Helene Cholesterol Cream

I deep condition weekly and add my fave oils, always. I get soft and manageable hair.

What’s your staple deep conditioner? Do you use heat or DC overnight?
