deep conditioning

[vavouna]

is it okay to deep condition your hair everyday or every other day? I have been doing it every other day, and so far have not experienced any issues. I was wondering if I am the exception, or are there other people out there that do this, and if you don't why not? Thanks.

I personally could not do it as it would be too much moisture for my hair. I need a good balance of moisture and protein. There are some people who DC everyday or every other day and love it. It might be good for short periods when you want to give your hair a real boost of moisture. You'll need to keep an eye on your hair in case it goes mushy though which may happen quite quickly with that level of conditioning.

to get started dc'ing everyday or every other day should be ok but I wouldn't do it more than 1 month straight.

After a month I would stop and go with 1 x week and see how your hair responds...

Great answers ladies. For me, keeping my protein/moisture balance in check is the most important thing I can do for the health of my hair.

I DC 2x a week in the colder wheather, but that's only because I don't co-wash as much. Once the weather starts to warm up I switch to 1x a week and I co-wash more frequently. I think DCing more than 2x a week is a bit too much for ME.

I think you could probably get the same benefits from daily co-washing and maybe DCing 1-2x per week.
