HAIR CONDITIONING TREATMENTS

There are several ways to condition your hair. If your hair is dry and tangled a pre conditioning treatment can soften hair and make detangling easier. Apply a thick creamy conditioner to dry hair before shampooing. 

You can also use an oil instead of conditioner. Cover the hair with a plastic cap and hot towel and leave on for 20 minutes or more if you have the time. If your hair is tangled now is the time to slowly detangle the hair in small sections. After all of your hair has been detangled wet the hair thoroughly to remove the conditioner then proceed with your normal routine of shampooing and conditioning. 

If you don't use shampoo you can proceed with your normal co washing routine. If you've used oil to pre condition your hair some find that rinsing with water immediately after causes tangles. In this case you may want to apply a cheap conditioner over the oil first then rinse and proceed with your normal routine.

Another way to deep condition your hair is to apply a generous amount of conditioner to clean damp hair. I apply my conditioners in sections then smooth it through to make sure that all of the hair is thoroughly covered. With coarse thick hair like mine it works better when you work the conditioner through the strands creating a heat as opposed to slapping it on and letting it sit on top of the hair. 

After the hair has been coated you can use several methods depending on the amount of time that you have. Try to do this for a min of 20 minutes then rinse.

Tip: Always follow deep protein treatments with a moisturizing conditioner to restore the moisture level of your hair. If you skip this step this can cause extreme breakage. Your hair will be hard, dry, and brittle

Hair Steamer - you can find deals on ebay it (creates moist heat for the conditioner to penetrate)

Hair dryer- any beauty supply store (use a plastic cap and sit under a dome dryer)

Heating Cap- Mastex heat caps are my favorite heating cap for deep treatments I buy online

Hot towel Method- cover the hair with a plastic cap then wrap a hot towel over it and cover that with another plastic cap(Sally Beauty turbie twist towels are great)

Steam room or Sauna- At your favorite gym treat yourself and your hair to the steam room or sauna while your hair is covered with conditioner

Summer Sun Method- We all know that It's hot outside. Put a plastic cap on your head while it's soaked in conditioner (or wrap it in saran wrap) and cover with your favorite summer hat or fashionable scarf and sit out in the sun. Great way to condition while you're on the beach.
