Deep Condition | Part 1
KNOW YOUR DEEP CONDITIONERS
Deep condition. Deep condition. Deep condition often! This is on the list of the natural hair mantra as it should be. Deep conditioning is packed with many goodies for the hair. From providing intense moisture, cutting down on frizz to strengthening hair etc.
In this series I’ll be sharing post on all you need to know about deep conditioners/conditioning.
Let’s begin shall we?
First you need to know the major types of deep conditioners and how to identify them.
TYPES OF DEEP CONDITIONERS
It can be categorised into two.
1. Moisture Deep Conditioner
No matter how good your moisturiser/leave-in conditioner is at keeping your hair moisturised, it just gets to a point where you need to cleanse all that build up and replenish all the moisture your hair lost due to manipulation, weather, colouring, heat styling and so on. This is where moisture deep condition comes in. It infuses the hair strands with nutrients and boost the moisture content, making it flexible and manageable. It also keeps breakage at bay.
To identify moisture deep conditioners look out for ingredients such as water, panthenol, behentrimonium chloride. It may also contain some Aloe Vera juice.
2. Protein Deep Conditioner
It comprises of ingredients like hydrolysed silk protein, hydrolysed wheat protein, hydrolysed keratin etc. Our hair is made up of protein, but general wear and tear break down the protein in our hair structure making it weak. Protein deep conditioners help to temporarily rebuild the sections of the strand underneath the follicle, making the hair stronger.
In the next post under this series, I’ll be sharing the ingredients you should look out for in a good deep conditioner.
