for a GOOD deep conditioning, what do you do??

[Shatani]

do you make something or do you use store bought??? if you make something, whats it made of?? and if its store bought, what do you buy??

 

[tuffCOOKiE]

having dry, 4a/b hair i do a lot of them. At the end of the week, i deep condition w/ Motions CPR followed by Nexxus Omni pak then PM supercharged. So far its worked well. I think i might do w/o the CPR though bc the Omni pak is what single handedly reduced my shedding. I use the PM supercharged b/c omni is a protein conditioner.

As far as others, i dont have time for the ones that you have to leave in your hair for hours. hth

I think it depends on what kind of conditioning you want, strength or moisture? If for moisture, there are many store bought conditioners that are great. You may also try a hot oil treatment, and sit under the dryer. I'll bet you've got some cheapy conditioners under your sink that you could mix up with Extra Virgin Olive Oil - that would save you a trip to the BSS.

Funny you should ask, because I am about to do the same thing...I like to clarify first (use a gentle clarifying shampoo ~ Herbal essences purifying) because I want to start with a 'clean' slate, I want to be sure the silicon products i use aren't blocking any moisturizers. I'm not sure if this really happens, but I want to be safe rather that analyze all the indgredients in the products...

I then shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo (Nexxus Therappe). I'll throw some conditioners together (Suave, Queen Helen's Jojoba Hot oil treatment, DPR-11) along with some EVOO and mix, slather on, and sit under the dryer for a while. I could really just do it with the Suave condiitoners and EVOO. EVOO boosts up any conditioner, IMHO.

Then I'll rinse. If I like how it feels, I'll towel dry and style (airdry in a ponytail). If not, I may throw some other conditioner on top, for slip (Pantene Smooth and sleek, for example). I also like to use my rinse out conditioners for leave ins; Humectress is great for that, but I've used Suave Citrus smoothie mixed with oil (jojoba or olive - others will work too, I'm sure) .

Lately, found that clear, heat protecting serums work great on my wet hair for detangling, also smooths the hair shaft when dry, a nice, silky smooth feel, even where the roots are growing in.

ive been having some breakage and would like to try a home made protein deep condition....im gonna use mayo, eggs, EVOO and a bit of conditioner....or maybe cholesterol....

just wondered what others do

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

For deep conditioning i usually use LeKair or Queen Helene Cholestrol mixed with a bit of Wonder 8 Oil, i then slap on a plastic cap and sit under the dryer for about 30mins. After that my hair feels like butta!

 

[bajanplums1]

Currently for a deep conditionining I:

* DRC-28 (this is no joke hair fortifier)
* Salerm Wheat Germ Mask (b5, wheat germ oil = moisture, moisture)

Non-protein weeks

last week I used Dark and Lovely Cholesterol, two eggs and some EVOO as a pre-poo treament and it cut down my shedding big time

 

[babybemine]

I use Ultra Black Haircare (UBH) Deep conditioner weekly. It's a hot oil & protein treatment all in one! Plus peppermint and menthol for stimulation. It's just fabulous! It makes your hair hard - as will any protein - so a lot of moisturising is required afterwards.

HTH!!

I'm so glad you made this thread! I had a protective style for close to two years, and while I did experience almost a good foot's worth of growth post-trim, I haven't created a consistent hair regimen since then!

Right now, I use Queen Helene's Jojoba Oil and then follow up the rinse with Motions light oil conditioner. I'm a bit of a product baby.. so let's hope I find some new stuff through this forum!

 

[UmSumayyah]

Store bought: Salerm Wheat Germ Oil mask
Homemade: a pre-poo with coconut oil, castor oil, and honey. I just did this yesterday and my hair was so wonderfully soft. I don't know why I ever stopped!

I agree with you on the Nexxus Omni Paks. What is PM supercharged?

 

[Peachtree]

do you make something or do you use store bought??? if you make something, whats it made of?? and if its store bought, what do you buy??

Lately, I've been adding honey to my "warmed" conditioner, put it on "dry" hair, let it sit for several hrs, then rinse. Works like a charm

I used Hollywood Beauty Olive Cholesterol and Porosity Control Conditioner for the first time this week and my hair is sooooo soft. It's wonderful. The porosity control smoothed and sealed my hair (I'll only use that as needed), and the Olive Cholesterol detangled, moisturized, and made my hair so incredibly soft.

HEY! They're the same 5 products just in different combinations! That's not that bad, right? ....right?

i have a couple of conditioners by Bain de Terre that i really didn't care for. so i've decided to use them as deep conditioners. i added EVOO and peppermint oil to them. i heat up a little in warm water, apply to damp hair and sit under conditioning cap for about an hour. this has worked really well for me.
