Best Deep Conditioner's for 4a/b Natural Hair?

⏳ Limited Access:

Register today to view all forum posts.

I have a mixture of textures mostly 4a/b. And for what it's worth..i didn't REALLY know why some posters would say "body heat isn't always enough". Until this past weekend July 30-31.

I put on one of my concotions as usual and went to braid and maintenence some ladies hair that i regularly braid. Well as usual the house was hotter than you know what( i mean i was a miserable, dripping sweat mess). Well i was ok once i seen the benefit of it. I took off my scarf and the plastics i had on top to let it cool when i got home (i had it on for a total of 5-6hrs).

I usually sit under the dryer for about 1hr and let it sit on w/out dryer for usually another hour. I used the little bit of ao gpb, ao hsr, ors replenishing(getting rid of nearly empty bottles), then i added a drop of some instant con. to get rid of the bottle, about a tbsp of org. honey, eqp dpr-11 (used mostly this) and coconut oil.

I NOW SEE WHAT STEAM MUST BE DOING FOR SOME OF YOU. But i followed Patchouli's(sp?) DC method...so i coated hair and scalp w/ coconut oil also. Well the moisture levels she speaks of in her yt tutorial is what i achieved.

My hair was SOFT and soooo easy to stretch,blowdry and straighten. I can sit under dryer for 2hrs or leave on for 2hrs no heat and i never get these results. I used to sleep with dc on but just haven't had the time or felt like it. When i did(sleep with dc) was the only time i came close to this soft hair experience.

ETA: And i have also been adding rosewater to my hair after i put saran wrap on hair w/ dc.

Pro's: very moisturizing, all natural (if it means anything), moisture last a long time. It moisturize even the most dry coarse parts of my hair. Amazing ingredientd including shea butter, jojoba oil, and wheat germ.

Con's: Smells like hippie grandmother, very thick and hard to get remaining conditioner out the bottle. Bottle design doesn't help its case either. I find its best to transfer some to a tub, or different container.

Tell me about it that DPR-11 was crap. Lekair can also be used as base for a protein conditioner just add an egg and some oil its so versatile.

DPR-11 was one of the biggest let-downs ever. I was so surprised because everyone hypes it up. I think someone did say they had changed the formula though so maybe that's it.

Name of conditioner: Nutress Hair Moisturizing Protein Pack for Extremely Damaged Hair

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): Sally Beauty Supply (in stores & online)
