Deep conditioning will jump start the curly girl method and get your curls back fast!!
Wash or clarify with low poo or sulfates if first going CG (curly girl method), if needed, if you have build up or silicones in your hair. Just wet your head in the sink if you don't and go straight to deep conditioning. Wet it add heat with a hooded dryer, blow dry, warm towel, or body heat with a beanie and shower cap etc. It's usually better if you wash before and add heat to let the ingredients penetrate. Do a minimum DT (Deep conditioning treatment) in the shower 5 minutes, but it's best if you can do the treatment 30 min to one hr. You can go longer than an hr, but beware of over-conditioning and hydral fatigue when DT too long or overnight. That is not necessary.
Many DT while working out or before the shower and then wash and style as usual. Or if you already washed before DT, then just rinse out and condition (if you need more conditioner) and style as usual.
Best cheap DT:
Rinse out conditioner, honey and oil (olive oil is easy access). You can refer to my oil blog post for more info on other penetrating oils to add. Low porosities and anyone else may benefit from humectants such as adding AVJ (aloe vera juice), honey or agave.
Best store bought DT-
Shea Moisture- Raw Shea Butter Masque (high porosity), Manuka Honey Masque (low porosity or wavy, unless fine)
Curl Junkie Rehab- (anyone but especially fine or low porosity hair)
Best Cheap Low Porosity or wavy DT - GVP (generic value conditioning balm from Sally's), honey and olive, coconut or sunflower oil, depending on what your hair likes. Sunflower is a good option for a cheap penetrating oil that is light and protein free.
