This blog post was requested by one of my friends (Hey, Ashleigh!). She went to the salon for some bangs and was told by her hair stylist that she needed to set up another appointment for a deep conditioning treatment. Her treatment was only going to run her about $15, but that meant she’d have to pay for the wash, blow dry and flat iron too (an additional $30). Of course she can go to her stylist for the deep conditioning treatment OR she can be cost effective and do it herself (I’m rooting for the latter). So for all the newbies out there that typically go to their hair stylists when they need a deep conditioning treatment this post is for you!

How to Identify a Deep Conditioner:
Some Suggestions:
Some of my past (and present) favorites (and where you can find them):
GVP (Biolage) Conditioning Balm
Aphogee 2-Minute Keratin Reconstructor (Beauty Supply Store)
How to Deep Condition:
4. Once the hair is completely saturated, cover your hair with a plastic cap (or if you don’t have a plastic cap on hand, then be creative and improvise with a plastic grocery bag).
5. Cover your hair with a towel or sit under a hooded dryer for at least 15 minutes but up to 60 minutes.
6. After at least 15 minutes on your hair: Rinse the conditioner from your hair and Style as usual.
Great post, this will definitely help those who are unsure about deep conditioning.
I feel like hair salons try to fool you in to thinking that having a deep conditioner at a salon is more superior than deep conditioning your hair yourself at home.
I love this post Kim!
So many people don't realise you can do a deep conditioner yourself
Yes, I completely agree. But at the same time, it's their hustle so I can't knock 'em too hard.
Thanks, Lesley!
I have started DC under my steamer, it's great!
Yeah, they're supposed to be great for adding moisture. 🙂
Thanks for the post, really help me to understand what is needed in my HHJ.
Not a problem. HHG!
