Let’s be honest, wash day can be a struggle at times, but understanding your hair needs and having the right products on hand is a game changer. During the colder months, it’s even more necessary to keep your hair moisturized by implementing a deep conditioner in your wash day routine to make your hair softer, stronger, and less prone to breakage.
When choosing a deep conditioner be sure to check the ingredients list to steer clear of any harmful ingredients such as phthalates, parabens, or silicones. If your hair is brittle, then you will want ingredients that improve elasticity, like coconut oil, olive oil and hydrolyzed protein. If you have high porosity hair, or your hair is damaged or chemically treated then you will want ingredients that can penetrate the hair like amino acids, and hydrolyzed palm oil. If your hair is low porosity you will likely want to use heat to help penetrate the cuticle to retain moisture.
To help take the guesswork out of choosing what’s best for your kinks and curls, here are the best deep conditioners on the market that are sure to bring your curls back to life in no time.
