Deep Conditioning - It's a Wrap!

Ah, deep conditioning.

Is it weird that I love this part of wash day?

It's the aftermath of the storm that is detangling. 

It's the time where I can slap on a concoction and leave my hair to soak in all it's goodness.

I love a good homemade DC.

Check out some of my faves here & here.

I don't use heat when I deep condition because I don't have a hooded dryer 

& 

if I did, I don't have the patience to sit underneath one for that purpose.

Ain't that deep for me. (see what I did there?)

So I prefer to use my own body heat and slap on plastic bags

(because my hair can't fit under plastic shower caps + it's more economical to recycle the bags)

then a warm hat.

OR

a turban.

I feel one should deep condition and feel  look fabulous at the same time.

The plastic bag situation by itself is not a good look and even though I may not leave my house,

you never know who might decide to Skype or FaceTime.

Do you wrap your hair when you DC or leave it be?

Cinni's Caribbean Cocktail DIY Deep Conditioner

Greetings Lovelies!

We all know the summer wreaks havoc on our tresses at times so keeping our hair moisturized is a proper must doing high temps.

Whether you co wash consistently or spritz everyday, a good deep conditioner goes a long way.

If you've been reading my blog for a bit then you know I'm a huge fan of DIY Deep conditioners because they're fun to do + economical.

This one I dub Cinni's Caribbean Cocktail

doesn't the name alone scream summer? :D

I'm missing Jamaica like crazy and a whiff of this yummy conditioner immediately takes you to the islands

So give your hair a vacation with this creamy deep. Peep the recipe after the jump

Not That Deep...

Hello Lovelies!

So these is the follow up to this post here

The pics were from my pre-pooing the before & after

& I'm going to share what I pre poo'd with for all you lovelies to try!

It's a variation of the one I posted about here

So let;'s get into it.

Ingredients used

-Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque

-Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner (not pictured)

-Tresemme Naturals Conditioner (not pictured)

-1 Egg

-Apple Cider Vinegar

-Vatika Hair Oil

-Burt's Bees Soothing Baby Oil

-Extra Virgin Olive Oil

You can substitute the conditioners for conditioner(s) of your choice.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition is a good option

or you can use yogurt or even mayonnaise.

I just used what I had on hand.

Of course you can substitute the oils for what you like as well.

I love to use EVOO in deep conditioners & pre-poos.

Mostly pre-poos.

MMMMMM YUMMY!

Mix it all in a bowl and apply!

I added the Giovanni SAS & Tresemme Naturals because the mixture was too liquid-y for my taste.

I didn't want to finish my SM Masque so I didn't put a lot in the mix.

Did my Fall Hair Regimen as usual

then the next day after my hair dried in the braids 

I twisted up my hair with Karen's Body Beautiful Creamylicious.
