Deep Conditioning 101: Everything You Need to Know
We at Swoope Hair Salon in Birmingham want to help you care for, love, and enjoy your natural hair. One way you can do this is by making deep conditioning part of your natural hair care routine. Deep conditioning can repair your hair and improve its health and appearance.
Deep Conditioning Repairs Damaged Hair
Regular shampooing and heat styling can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to damage. Deep conditioning replenishes these oils and strengthens the hair, preventing dryness, frizz, and breakage. Show your natural hair some love by incorporating deep conditioning as part of your hair care routine.
Deep Conditioning Improves Your Hair Health
Deep conditioning helps to restore moisture and nourishment to dry and damaged hair. It also improves hair elasticity and reduces breakage. Deep conditioning can enhance the overall health and appearance of your hair, making it smoother, shinier, and more manageable. You’ll love your hair even more, and it'll love you back!
How To Deep Condition and What Products To Use
After shampooing your hair, apply a deep conditioner, massage it thoroughly, and wrap up your hair with a towel or shower cap. Let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes, or leave it longer for an even deeper condition. Rinse it out with warm water, then dry and style your hair as usual.
You can apply a treatment or mask designed for deep conditioning. You can also try a more natural, DIY deep conditioning treatment by using coconut oil, avocado oil, or another protein-rich ingredient.
How Often You Should Deep Condition
For dry or damaged hair, deep conditioning once a week can revive your hair and help you achieve beautiful, natural hair styles. If your hair is not very damaged, consider deep conditioning once every two weeks. Oily hair can be made even more oily by excessive conditioning, so if your hair is oily, try limiting deep conditioning to once every three or four weeks.
