Today, I am deep-conditioning my hair. I try to do this monthly. Now when I say deep, I sit under the dryer for about an hour and steam my hair too. I thought about making a video to show you all the ingredients that I’ve use but honestly, every person’s hair needs/issue are not the same.
- Deep-Conditioning
What did I use today? I used mayo because I didn’t have any eggs, coconut oil, EVVO, Pure raw shea butter, honey, aloe vera gel, and Queen Helene’s Cholesteral Hair Conditioner.
I will shampoo with Cream of Nature Sunflower Shampoo and rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar.
My advice is to listen to your hair and meet its needs. If it’s dry and brittle, you need to add ingredients to your conditioner that someone with oily hair doesn’t need. So here’s a list of many items that I use and more importantly what they do for your hair:
<!– –><!– –>
- Jojoba oil is similar to sebum, which is secreted by human sebaceous glands to lubricate and protect skin and hair. Jojoba oil conditions hair and prevents it from becoming brittle and dull.
- Avocado oil Softens skin, helps skin and hair retain moisture and fights the aging process
- Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shinny complexion. Coconut oil prevents dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged air and provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair.
- Honey is high in vitamins and minerals, and has wonderful benefits for the skin and hair. Honey is a good humectant and emollient, serving as a good moisturizer and conditioner
