I also keep saying how much patience it takes. Some days I want to just snatch all this damn hair off my head! Just like I've been putting off washing my hair for three days now. I am just too lazy to put the time in to do my hair. Plus my back has been on a stupid level of pain lately so it hurts to bend over so that I can wash my hair in the sink. I've read it's better to wash your hair in the shower anyway. It's best so you can tilt your head backwards instead of forwards in the sink. I don't care to wash my hair in the shower because I don't like shampoo and conditioner all over me. But anyway, my plan is to cover conditioners in this post. That's if I can hear myself think with my husband snoring loud as hell over there. I want to take Peppa Pig and hit him in the face but I'm too lazy to get up. Plus I don't want to waste my jelly beans.
Daily/Regular Conditioners
Much like deep conditioning, regular conditioning of the hair is super important. Conditioning should be done after washing your hair every time because it can minimize damage and breakage. Conditioners are intended to smooth and strengthen strands by repairing and protecting the hair shaft. Most daily/regular conditioners are only meant to be left in for about 3-5 minutes. There are some that can stay in longer. I use the word daily because conditioners can be used daily if you are one of those people who wash your hair daily. I know some naturals who was their hair daily because they say that's the only way that can deal with their hair. More power to them because I don't have the patience to fight with my hair daily. Below are my favorite conditioners to use right now. I use one of the below conditioners each time that I wash my hair and yes even when I deep condition my hair I still use a regular conditioner. I also use my Hot Head cap (details in previous post) to apply heat for those few minutes that the condition is in.- The Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian Anti-Breakage & Repair Antidote Conditioner - I use this one for strengthening along with the rest of the products in this collection.
- The Mane Choice Easy On The CURLS - Detangling Hydration Conditioner - This one I use when I'm doing a quick shampoo and condition. Plus it contains biotin, which helps to strengthen that hair and encourages growth.
- Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Conditioner - I've only used this one about two or three times. I mainly use it when I visit home since I keep shampoo and conditioner there. It adds the necessary moisture to my curls as well as helps with frizz, which is important because humidity is the devil down South.
- TGIN Replenishing Conditioner for Natural Hair - I haven't used this as much but it does add moisture to my hair and makes it really soft.
- Nouritress Perfect Hair Stimulating Scalp Conditioner - I use this along with the stimulating scalp shampoo. This combo helps stimulate my scalp and it has that tingling feeling that I love! I definitely use this when I feel that my hair is thinning in certain areas; mainly me edges.
Leave-In Conditioners
From my understanding, leave-in conditioners and regular conditioners are somewhat the same. They both can be used daily, help with frizz, strengthen, and condition the hair. They can both make the hair easy to detangle as well. Leave-in conditioners are formulated lightly and they serve as a barrier while the hair is detangled and styled. Below are a list of my favorite leave-in conditioners.- The Mane Choice Soft As Can Be Revitalize & Refresh 3-in-1 Co-Wash, Leave In, Detangler - I use this when I do a quick wash and condition with the Easy On the Curls shampoo and conditioner. It works great as a detangler and it contains biotin.
- TGIN Green Tea Leave In Conditioner - MY FAVORITE! This leaves my hair sooooo soft and makes it super easy to detangle. Plus it smells good and adds moisture which leaves my curls so happy. I use it on some wash days but I use it during the week also when I decide to re-style my hair.
- Mielle Organics Organic White Peony Ultra Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner - MY OTHER FAVORITE! It's made from mostly natural ingredients, smells amazing, and makes detangling a breeze. I use this more now when I re-do my twists of perm rods set during the week. I spray water on my hair, add this leave-in, add some oil & a moisturizer, and then style my hair.
- Nouritress Perfect Hair Leave In Botanical Reconstructor - I use this when I use the stimulating shampoo and conditioner. It doesn't necessarily make my hair soft but I like that it helps to seal the cuticles and repairs the damaged hair shaft. Plus it encourages new hair growth.
