How to conditions Natural Hair
Today post is about deep conditioner’s products that I highly recommend for newbie’s who is just starting out on their your natural hair Journey and those of you who has sensitive scalp.
What are Protein Treatments?Well Still a newbie in the haircare routine you might be confused on what a protein treatment means,so here you go
Protein treatments are conditioning treatments that replace lost hair protein by adding protein to the cuticle layer of hair strands.
This type of treatment is beneficial to the our natural hair strand because it strengthen the hair,preventing natural hair from damaging follicles,strengthening the hair to prevent breakage and dryness,
follow it up with a moisturizing deep conditioner.this would ensure that your hair maintains its adequate protein-moisture balance.
For natural hair,it is recommended that you do a protein treatment once in 2 weeks and also note that applying too much protein treatment can cause your hair to loose its natural texture and make it more like transitional hair plus dull looking,
Below are pictures of products considered to be protein treatments for natural hair,these products are high recommend for natural hair sister who is just starting out,I did used these products in the past that is why I’m recommending them to you,

Use any of these after Shampooing Natural Hair
Divide your natural hair into 4 sections if your hair is medium length or long,After shampooing and don’t forget to remove excess water that may still be in your hair from shampooing,then you should use an old t-shirt to do that,
Apply your favorite deep conditioner on your natural hair as if you were applying hair gel and make sure each strands is well coated with the deep conditioner,try not to neglect your ends,I highly recommend you start from your ends and work your way down to your roots or you should just apply enough product to cover all of your hair which make total sense for you newbie’s
Note: Some natural sister may prefer to apply deep conditioner to soaking wet hair,personally I do both,well you should Do what works best for you.
If you don’t have a steamer no worries because you can just use a shower cap,actually that’s what I usually use to deep conditioning my natural hair, use the shower cap for at last 15-30 minutes then let the product work its deep conditioning magic in,and don’t forget to rinse deep conditioner out well to avoid dandruff and itchy scalp,and voila Softer looking healthy natural hair,
Note: Make sure you read the application instructions.Try Not to skip this part.this stage is especially useful for those with low porosity natural hair like me,
Rinse with cold water but not ice cold water,Usually it helps to close the hair cuticle,
If you decide to use DIY Deep Conditioner Treatment,i will advice that you wash off with a co-wash cleanser after using the DIY deep Conditioner treatment is done,mainly to avoid leftovers product or funny odor out of your natural hair.
Some of your knows how much I love using DIY products,sometimes I will use a co-wash cleanser after using a DIY product that has a strong scents,
Alright let me be forward with you guys who don’t know why I love using DIYS Products on my natural hair,actually I have sensitive scalp and also have sinuses problems,Which happens whenever I use some Company made products,oh well I’m not going to go in details about products that doesn’t work for me,because what works for me may not work for you,
And the only time I don’t have these problems with deep conditioner’s unless it is high quality product and it has natural ingredients,like Free Sulfates,Free Parabens,Free Silicones,Free Petrolatum,Free Mineral Oil,Dye Free,Free Formaldehydes
And we all knows how expensive high quality natural hair products can be,so that is why start making my own natural hair products,and true be told my natural hair love DIY Products especially Deep conditioner’s,plus it is cheaper,
Alright most of the time I usually get my high quality natural hair products during the holidays or if it is on sales and during that period of time I usually turn to DIYS products until I can get my hands on that high quality product for a cheaper price.
Alright here are the high quality products I really like using on my natural hair and would love to work with these companies,
