Last week I started my hair beat with a discussion of shampoos and conditioners. This week we move to deep and leave-in conditioners…two very important steps for natural haircare.

Deep Conditioners

Like I mentioned in the last post, I wash and co-wash my hair.  When I shampoo my hair, I also like to do a deep condition.  Deep conditioners add moisture and protection to my hair.  I switch between the following:

Pantene Relaxed and Natural Hair Mask - I really like the Pantene Relaxed and Natural line in general, but really love this particular product.  It is a great deep conditioner.  It makes my hair less frizzy which helps when I am ready to twist.

Jessicurl Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment
Jessicurl is also a great deep conditioner.  It’s even better when you apply and sit under the dryer for about 20-30 mins.  After that I rinse and my hair detangles pretty easily.

Leave-in Conditioners

Leave-in conditioners are very important for natural hair, especially mine.  Because I color my hair I definitely need additional moisture.
I need a conditioner to keep my hair looking good well after I rinse and twist.

Here are some of my favorites:

Giovanni  Direct Leave in Conditioner

I like that Giovanni is light-weight and doesn’t weigh my hair down, especially when I am going to add another product to twist with.  It’s also organic and cruelty free.

Infusium 23 Leave-in Conditioner

I used this conditioner when I had a relaxer.  It was great then and even better now.  It’s light and watery which is a plus for color-treated or damaged hair.  Sometimes I add it to my setting lotion when I twist my hair.

Let us know your favorite deep  and leave-in conditioners.

So now we have shampooed, conditioned, deep conditioned and added a leave in.  But we are not through yet.

Next week I’ll share what I use to twist and pluck.  Ready…Set..BEAT!!!

Giovanni is my favorite leave-in too! I also like all of Biostrand’s products.
