Naturals how often do u deep condition?

[Napp]

Once a week for me.

 

[Daernyris]

I dc once per week, I will probably be doing it more now that I have so many dc's from my BF haul.

 

[LdyKamz]

I used to dc 1x a week but recently I've been doing it 2x a week, especially since it takes forever for anything to soak into my hair. This has been working well and I've been able to cut out the cowashing which is a good thing since it's been cold as heck in NY.

 

[PJaye]

Similar to westNDNbeauty, I DC every time my hair has been immersed in water, which is once every week.

 

[greenandchic]

DC 1 - 2x a week depending on how my hair feels. I shampoo once a week, alternating with cowashing and DC after every shampoo.

 

[BostonMaria]

Once or twice a month, but honestly I should do this way more often. My hair feels very dry at the moment.

 

[Fine 4s]

I used to DC every week when I first started my haircare routine. THAT was 6 years ago. Now my new goal regimen is to braid up for 3 weeks and let the hair lose (not out necessarily) on the last week and start over. So now, it's 1/month I guess.

If I can find a wig and not have to pay money in a salon for a flat twist style, I'd like to increase it to at least 2/month.

 

[DarkJoy]

DC up to 3x a week. once with a reconstructor another with a moisture product. Mind you these are done afyer a cowash and on for less than 10 min. Third day is full wash day and I will choose DC type(s) based on how it is that day and leave it on 15 min to an hour

I don't think anyone has heard me complain about dry brittle hair here in months.

[ScorpioBeauty09]

I wash my hair every 2 weeks and DC each time.

 

[JulietWhiskey]

I DC every other week, when I co-wash.

It works for my hair and my schedule and I don't have any issues with build-up or dryness.

 

[RegaLady]

Every other week. I wonder if I need to bump it up to every week now.

 

[SpiceUpMyHair]

Are you ladies retaining length and reducing breakage with your deep conditioning regimen?

 

[SouthernScienceNerd]

I voted other because I wash and DC every two weeks. From SL to BSL, I washed and DC once a week. But after that, the length became too much for weekly washes.

 

[DarkJoy]

Are you ladies retaining length and reducing breakage with your deep conditioning regimen?

Yes. I am retaining when I can keep the scissors away.

[Rozlewis]

Usually 1 x week but I have recently started doing it 2 x week due to the harsh winter weather.

 

[vmerie]

Once a week for me and I don't use a special DC. I usually mix whatever conditioner I have on hand with oils and honey and sit under the dryer for 30 mins. I add a protein component to that twice a month.

 

[Ogoma]

Are you ladies retaining length and reducing breakage with your deep conditioning regimen?

It is the only time my hair gets protein so I would like to think it is beneficial.

 

[myfaithrising]

I dc once per week, if I cowash midweek I may apply a mask for a couple of minutes.

 

[Froreal3]

Usually 1 x week but I have recently started doing it 2 x week due to the harsh winter weather.

Rozlewis you are natural now? I didn't know!

 

[Rozlewis]

Froreal3, sorry. I am not natural. I just noticed the title.

 

[Froreal3]

Rozlewis I was about to ask for your straightening tips. Lovely hair still.

 

[Natty_Virgo]

Once a week

 

[Prudent1]

Once a week during the summer. A minimum of twice a week during the colder months.

[Joigirl]

Once a week, but I don't stress if a miss a week here or there.

 

[krissyhair]

Ogoma krissyhair I would label deep conditioning as a conditioner labeled as such or an intense mask, where you would use heat or steam for at least 15 minutes.

If that's the case then never. I don't use heat or a special steam apparatus other than the steam from the shower.

Every once in a while I'll buy or use a product labeled as deep treatment or mask. But I don't always have one on hand. Regular conditioning and oiling is enough for me.

In that case I never DC either.

 

[nemi95]

Normally once a week but I have been slacking. Sometimes I use a product marketed as a DC and sometimes I use whatever condish I have on hand and mix with additional oils and AOGBC. I've been trying to use all my regular conditioners so I won't have such a large stash of products.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

I cleanse my hair once a week but deep condition with steam before and after cleansing. The night before: I'll apply coconut oil, steam it in then leave it in overnight. After cleansing the day after, I'll add my conditioner then steam that in as well. So in a sense, I deep condition twice a week. My hair thrives from that.

 

[grownwomanaz]

I DC 2-4 times a month.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I try to shoot for 1x a week. But, I tend to get 2x a month.
