The Wash Day Series: Step 4 - Deep Conditioning Part II



How do you know what your hair needs in terms of protein vs. moisturizing deep conditioner?

There are a few signs that indicate what your hair needs or lacks

1) Your hair is crunchy/ brittle and dry: This could possibly indicate that you need to add moisture to your hair

2) You hair breaks very easily: Add a deep moisturizing conditioner and follow up with moisturizing and sealing your hair daily thereafter

3) Your hair feels mushy and overly soft: You need a protein conditioner to restore balance to your hair

4) You have not deep conditioned your hair in a long time: Ideally this should not happen but if it does, you could do a pre-poo with a protein conditioner and follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner.

Getting the balance between moisture and protein can take a while, but the easiest way to restore balance is through your deep conditioning sessions.

If you are yet to get the hang of it, try a month or two of weekly deep conditioning so that you can better understand your hair needs and how it reacts to different types of deep conditioners.

As a follow up to our last post, here is a guide to 10 protein conditioners that are under 10 Dollars! Yes, affordable and available locally. I have tried 3 out of 10 of these conditioners (No 1,2 and 4), and they have worked reasonably well on my hair.

Currently, I use ApHogee 2-minute Keratin Reconstructor when I need a protein boost, but my all time favourite is the Parnevu Hair Mayonnaise because it also adds some softness to my hair after using it.

What's your go-to protein deep conditioner?
