There is one type of wash day product that my kinky natural hair cannot do without and that is a deep conditioner. Deep conditioners are like a spa day for kinky tresses. They give your hair that last kick of moisture and are usually what contributes to softer, more manageable hair following a wash day regimen. As a product junkie, I have been through my fair share of deep conditioners and there are definitely a few that have left a great and lasting impression on my mind and of course my natural hair. Here are 5 deep conditioners that I know your natural hair will thoroughly enjoy.
Naturelle Grow Mango & Coconut Water Deep Conditioner
I’ve dubbed this deep conditioner “THEBOMB.COM” and it’s the deep conditioner that you will dream about a year after using. If you have type 4 hair and you’ve never been able to run your fingers through a section of your freshly washed hair, then I suggest you give this a try. It smells as delicious as it sound and contains a plethora of completely natural ingredients. With ingredients that we can easily pronounce, it’s great for all naturals including ingredient conscious ones. Trust me, you don’t want to sleep on this amazing Christian-based small business (owned by Renee Dawes).
Shea Moisture’ Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow, & Restore Treatment Masque
This deep conditioner is my FAVORITE wash day product from SheaMoisture…so far (don’t forget product junkie here). You know when your kinky hair develops a curly,wavy texture once you put a particular product on it, and then POOF back to its kinky state once you rinse it out? I call that “curl tease”, but it’s actually your hair responding to the moisture it’s receiving from that particular product and I can easily see how this masque hydrates my hair. Some key ingredients in this product are Jamaican black castor oil (JBCO), peppermint, and keratin. JBCO is known to strengthen and thicken hair. Peppermint encourages blood circulation in the scalp which encourages further hair growth. Keratin is an essential protein in hair that contributes to hair strength. With ingredients like these, it’s clear to see why it’s called the strengthen, grow, and restore treatment masque. Perfect for naturals on growth journeys or with thinning trouble spots.
Creme of Nature Argan Oil Intensive Conditioning Treatment
True Story. I needed a deep conditioner to prep my hair for a set of ombre purple kinky twists, but all I had on me at the moment was $5. So I picked up a couple of those one use packets of Creme of Nature Argan Oil Intensive Conditioning Treatment mask. Let me tell you! This affordable deep conditioner did not disappoint. My hair was soft and manageable as I installed my kinky twists. I also got to try it again when I got it again from my curlBOX subscription and it’s confirmed that it’s an awesome conditioner especially for naturals on a tight budget.
Carol’s Daughter Marula (Curl Therapy) Softening Hair Mask
Maybe you like the finer, more luxurious, and often pricey things in life. Carol’s Daughter Marula (Curl Therapy) Softening Hair Mask is right up your alley. Once you snap out of the trance that its heavenly smell will very likely put you in, you will be very pleased to find that it definitely softens your hair as it states it will.
Naturelle Grow Indian Clay Mask
Remember when I said that Naturelle Grow’s Mango & Coconut Water Deep Conditioner will have you dreaming about it long after it’s done? That’s how it had (still has, but shhhh) me until I got the opportunity to try another deep conditioner from this brand. Here comes the Naturelle Grow Indian Clay Mask to ignite my obsession with Naturelle Grow products. Among lots of natural ingredients, this product contains rose clay which is known for removing toxins and impurities without drying out your hair and skin. The rose clay is also what gives this product its pretty pink color. I used this deep conditioner on dry and I mean DRY, flat iron reverted hair and it worked wonders. I got that curl tease (hydration) and my hair smelled amazing. Don’t sleep on Naturelle Grow. You’re welcome! You’ll thank me later.
Give any of these deep conditioners a try on your kinky natural hair!
