Do you want to learn the proper steps to deep condition relaxed hair in order to achieve long, thick, healthy hair? This article will teach you how!

Steps

  1. 1
    Select the proper products for the deep conditioning of your relaxed hair. The most crucial step in the deep conditioning process is choosing the right product for your hair type.
  2. 2
    Use direct heat (with a hooded dryer/or heat cap) with either dry/wet hair, apply a plastic cap, and underneath the dryer until your hair feels moisturized.

    Use indirect-heat. Apply your deep conditioner to dry hair. Ultra moisturizing deep conditioners work wonders on hair. Apply a plastic cap, apply a turbie twist (or hair wrap to secure in place) and go to bed. The next morning, shampoo this product out. While you were sleeping, the heat from your scalp and body produced natural heat underneath the plastic cap. It’s a great way to save time and not spending your precious moments of free time underneath a noisy dryer.
  4. 4
    Determine the duration of time that you will spend on deep-conditioning your hair. Try doing this for about 15-20 minutes.
