What do you do for deep conditioning?

I really want to try this but it's not the right price for me. I also wanna try the Hair Milk.

I would like to vote for DC on dry hair! It is the bomb!

yes it is!! especially when you are feeling particularly lazy

I love ORS Replenishing Condish. I am thinking of combining it with some castor oil as a DC this week.

@ LadyMika and mommydiva - I just used ORS Replenishing Conditioner for the first time a few weeks ago and I loved it!!! My hair has never felt and looked so good!!

I got it with one of the sample packages.

i do my shampoo regimen first, and if I deep condition, I do it over night with a shower cap and tie the shower cap down with a scarf. Then all night my body heat is working with the conditioner. When I wake in the morning, I just do a rinse, and floow with my regimen of styling. I hope this is helpful [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This week I DC'd with Garnier Fructuis Triple nutrition, it was on sale. I added some olive oil and natural honey and OMG !!! Results amazing. On wet hair, with a shower cap and hair wrap minus the gel packs, the wrap alone made my head warm my body heat alone did the job ! and it was so amazing. I will be adding olive oil and honey to my DC for this summer, it was great because I didn't have to worry about steam heat (hair therapy wrap) I got 3 bottles of that triple nutrition for $ 9 at CVS that was a steal.

i use biolage hydrating balm with the olive oil replenishing pack conditioner that FINALLY comes in a bottle instead of the little packets....that works really well for me

Last night, I used Jessicurl for the first time. I applied it on wet hair, combed through, and rinsed out after 1 hour. I also sat under the dryer for the first 30 minutes. After rinsing, my hair was soft, moisturized and detangled. I will definitely repurchase! I also used the Jessicurl in combination with Darcy's Botanicals.

I am in the middle of a DT right now. I mixed Yes to Cucumbers condish with honey. We'll see what happens.

I'm using 2 small avocado's, coconut oil, and some filtered water. I made a smoothie with my magic bullet. My hair liked it last time with the coconut milk, but I didnt' go out today, so I'll see how the oil works, I ordered a large bucket of coconut oil, I need to use up anyway

I've been meaning to try JessiCurl DT, but my hair is loving kitchen DT's these days

I'm 2 days off my wash schedule, but my hair is still soft and moist, I swear castor oil is amazing ! I will probably add it to DC for this summer instead of directly on my hair when I do sets. Well better to get it done now then later this weekend.

It seems that no matter what I do my hair is super dry after deep conditioning versus just cowashing. I'm thinking about doing away with it all together for now because I simply haven't found a combo that works.

@ LIlith_Eve I def wouldn't throw away DCing, I would look at what products you are using that is causing the dryness. Also the length of time you keep it on and the methods. For example, if you are using a protein treatment and you keep it on too long, it will leave your hair harder and it seems dry. As a rule of them, a protein treatment should be followed up by an moisturizing treatment.

I would look at what products you are using, before you throw in the towel. Are you using heat or moisture in for your treatments ? Are you using too much protein ? When your hair needs a moisture treatment instead ? What's in the product ingredients that is not agreeing with your hair ?


I have been keeping a journal and I track what my hair likes and dislikes so that I can pinpoint what is working for my hair. Really it's trail and error. But once you find what works your hair will thank you. Your hair def needs DC's you just have to figure out what works best at that time. If your hair is feeling dryer then moisture treatment, or if it's sheeding a bit, protein followed my moisture treatment will help. It comes down to getting to know your hair.


I hope this helps

Okay so my hair did like the avocaod/coconut oil mixture, I just kept it on a bit to long. next time a min of 30 mins. My hair got a 'lil hard, but I followed with the garnier fructius triple nutrition which my hair loves ! and it was back on point.
