When it comes to deep conditioning your curls, it takes practice, time, effort, and following a series of steps. It can sometimes be confusing following multiple steps at a time, but it is more crucial to understand why you are doing the steps you are following. This week's blog will explain an effective routine to deep condition your curls, nighttime or daytime.
Step 1
If your curls are in need of moisturizing, start by deep conditioning your hair two days a week. These two days will be your "wash days". I wouldn't recommend washing your hair more than that many times in a week. If you do not have dry and crisp hair, start out with one day a week.
Step 2
On your wash day, hop in the shower with a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. If you are not sure what products to use, I have posted another blog for that. Start by shampooing your roots and the underneath side of your hair. Following this, wash out with cold water. An amazing tip to redefine your curl pattern is washing your hair upside down and use a scrunching motion.
Step 3
After you have washed out your shampoo, follow with a moisturizing conditioner. Again, apply with your head upside down to your ends and the lower half of your hair, in a scrunching motion. Let that sit on your hair for 3-5 minutes, then wash out.
Step 4
Next, after you have finished your shower routine, apply a deep conditioner to damp hair. A popular one right now, in 2022, is the Mielle Babassu & Mint Deep Conditioner. Section off
your hair into parts and lather it from your roots to ends. While doing this, you can take a wide tooth comb and comb the conditioner through your hair to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout each strand. Leave this on your head for about 15 minutes and wrap your head in a conditioner cap. If you do not have this, a plastic bag works fine, nice and affordable! After the time has ran out, wash out with cold water.
Step 5
Apply a microfiber towel around your head or you can plop your hair using a t-shirt. Leave this in for about 10-15 minutes. After, you can take out and style your hair using any product you desire! However, if you are doing this routine at night, apply the pineapple style to your hair and fall fast asleep on your silk pillow case.
