Deep Conditioning: Your Hair’s Best Friend

0

Deep conditioning is something we know all too well. Depending on your hair’s needs, some naturalista’s may feel like doing it once a week or once a month is sufficient enough. I use Africa’s Best Organics Hair Mayonnaise as my deep conditioner once a month to strengthen and moisturize my hair. The directions instruct leaving it on for 15 minutes but I prefer leaving it in overnight and washing it out in the morning. Overall the product has done wonders for my hair and has contributed tremendously to its health.

Deep conditioners have proven to be quite beneficial for hair over the years. The ingredients are meant to hydrate hair that has been damaged by chemicals, heat, and medications in addition to repairing and providing nourishment. Besides making hair softer and healthier, it is also essential to preventing and fighting against breakage. Popular deep conditioning ingredients include avocado oil, almond oil, aloe vera, argan oil, and sunflower seed oil.
