Deep Conditioning on a BUDGET!

Deep conditioning is very important. It allows your hair to get moisture as well as be really soft and eventually (if not right away) your curls will become more enhanced because they are now moisturized.

Using a deep conditioner actually strengths your hair and makes it easier to detangle. Deep conditioning your hair allows it to repair itself from any kind of damage. You would want to deep condition more often if your hair is really damage to try and replenish it. Now you don't need to go out and buy expensive products for the process. You could use products from your household such as eggs, mayonnaise, honey, coconut oil, amongst other things. Also, you could even visit your local dollar tree or dollar general and gets some products from there.




What I did for my deep conditioner was mixed all my products (hair mayonnaise from dollar tree, my oils, conditioner, and coconut oil) into a bowl and applied it to my hair. However, you may want to work on freshly washed hair that why the detangling process will be easier but you dont have to. What I did was sectioned my hair in parts before applying my mixture. Once that was finished I put my conditioning cap on (if you don't have one you could always use a plastic bag you got at the store) and let it sit for about an hour (you could always let it sit on there for longer. Once the desired time is up wash it out. Apply your leave in conditioner and oils and then your good to go.

For the best results I would suggest deep conditioning weekly, especially if you have time.

My BIG CHOP experiences

Doing that BC or "big chop" can be life changing for some. It's embracing a part of you that has been neglected, mistreated, and forgotten. Perms (aka straighter), wigs, braids, and CHEMICALS, have been covering up what you have been born with (however, wigs and braids are not terrible but worn for a long period of time and too tight can cause damage). Doing the “big chop” is like getting to know your hair and yourself all over again. You have to re-learn how to style and maintain a new texture. It will not be easy at first but with practice and time it will only get better. It is time for African Americans to embrace their true essences and rock that fro. We don’t have to assimilate so much that it causes us damage. Perms breaks off your hair, it’s a chemical. In the long run it does more damage than good. It makes your hair weak and at some point your hair will stop growing really long. This is me speaking from YEARS of experience. Don’t get me wrong your hair is sti...
