A good conditioner should pamper and protect the hair while working to strengthen hair by penetrating the hair shaft tohelp restore lost moisture.
Deep Conditioners is needed to penetrate the hair shaft to strengthen the hair, provide lubrication, and stimulate scalp ciculation You NEED to apply heat to your hair to allow the conditioner to penetrate. Heat causes the cuticle (outer layer of hair) to swell open, which allows the conditioner to go inside the hair shaft. Over conditioning can make you hair limp and unable to style. Hair needs time and the proper enivornment to become stronger. Just like a broken leg, the bone requires time to repair. The cast creates the eniviroment for that to take place. When you regularly deep condition your hair, the conditioner helps to create the perfect enviroment for beautiful hair growth!! No matter what you have read or been told in the past, there are no "instant" or "miracle" cures for hair growth or repair! TO know if you have a good conditioner, if after sitting under the dryer for a deep condition and there is a lot of water in the bottom of the plastic cap, then certainly it is not on your hair and its contents are mostly water. After a good deep conditioner, DO NOT allow you hair to dry without applying moisturizer, especially after you have just conditioned your hair with protein. Protein is very drying to hair when it is not moisturized, but as mentioned earlier it is also one of the requirements for having longer beautiful hair.
*Use only deep conditioning products to improve the condition of your hair.
**Deep Condition at least once a week
***USe a conditioner that strengthens,lubricates,and stimulates.
****Deep Condition the hair for 15-20 minutes, using HEAT to caue deep penetration.
