looking for a deep conditioner
Dec 12th, 2004 at 2:42pm
 
Hi all!

I've always used olive oil as my deep conditioner, but lately even when I rinse for ages, I still have a build up of it on my hair and have to wear braids until my next wash day to really get it out.  I guess now that I'm taking better care of my hair it doesn't need quite that much? 

Anyway, I'm looking for a deep conditioner to mix with shea butter, or a carrier oil like jojoba for a bi-monthly deep conditioning treatment to be left on for at least a few hours and possibly overnight.  I'd like something that I can wash out with my CO routine so I don't have to go back to shampoo. 

Does anyone have something they really like? 

Thanks!

Hi Valerie !

I've been using canned coconut milk on my hair.  The brand I use is "Asian passage" - it's in a light green can with an overlay of dark green bamboo leaves.  

It has thick chunks of "coconut fat" - it's not like solid coconut oil at all because it washes out so much easier.

Anyway, I open the can and scoop out the pieces and apply them to my hair (when it's dry).  I then pour what's left of the milk over my hair and leave it for an hour or so.

It rinses out easily with just one application of shampoo - I haven't tried CO with this particular treatment.

It leaves the hair soooooo soft and shiny - and the smell is heavenly.  Try it !  I love it !

AnnaT--
That sounds very neat, I'll have to try it out. 

I live in Denver, but recently visited San Francisco.  It was great!

I haven't really tried there stuff, but I like how affordable it is.  I was hesitant because the only person I know that uses it has shoulder length hair and isn't trying for any longer, but I will have to look into it.  Thanks!

I really, really love Biolage Conditioning Balm.  It is kind of pricey depending on what size you buy, but it can be diluted or just use a little on your fingertips and it lasts forever.  No cones in this one.

HTH,

You can put a bit of the BCBalm in a spray bottle, add distilled water and either a couple of drops jojoba oil or the oil out of a vitamin e cap as a preservative. 

Shake well and you've got a great spray on, leave-in conditioner with no cones and at a fraction of the cost.

How does deep conditioning work anyway? Is it just a conditioner you put in while washing or is it something else that you leave in? I'm confused. Can anyone enlighten me?

When I deep condition I'm looking for something to put on my hair and leave on for anywhere from 30min to overnight, then wash out.

Some things I like to mix with olive oil:

Shea butter
Almond oil
Honey
Eggs
Yogurt
Coffee (because my hair is dark - you could try a chamomile tea or something)

I love all-natural kitchen products!  Wink

aaaaah, almond, i've been putting loads these days to have an excuse to SHAMPOO my length (i use this emulsion with sunscreen which makes my hair seem so much fuller, shinier, less slippery, but it can get a bit too tacky after a few days). i love it! only today i finally tried almond as a leave in (i use refined almond though, it's the only thing they had in the supermarket). i read some people find it gives way more shine than jojoba. my hair's so soft & shiny now, and i am impressed how light it actually is.

I love Biolage Conditioning Balm too,I use it both as a regular or deep conditioner(leaving it on for about 20 minutes then).
Another (deep)conditioner I'm having very nice results with is Jessicurl 'Too Shea',leaves my hair feeling very moisturized but not weighed down at all.
