How to Deep Condition Your Hair Properly if You Are a Black Female
For many people, deep conditioning appears to be a simple thing to do, spot on? It involves applying a small amount of conditioner on the hair and waiting for few minutes before rinsing, and there you have it, right? If you also think the same way, then you are mistaken, as this is not the correct way of deep conditioning. It is essential to deep condition in the right manner, in a bid to restore moisture on your glands.
For instance, take a slightly worn and cracked canvass and start putting as much paint as you want. When you are done, you will still find cracks and splits on the canvass when the paint gets dry. Same example applies on your hair. It does not matter how good you apply your hair products, they will still look dry and rough if you do not condition them well in the first step. In addition to that, they will also start breaking if you do not take proper care of them.
To analyze whether you are doing the right thing, just check your hair after you deep condition them. If you find them greasy and buttered, then you have every reason to get happy, as you have done it in the right way. Otherwise, you really need to know what things you should take care of while you deep condition your hair.
