Important Tips & Ideas about Hair Conditioners - Home-Made-Semi & Deep Conditioners

Make your own

If you like do-it-yourself projects, here are two conditioners for you to try:

Semi-home-made spray-on conditioner

• 1 tablespoon of your favourite conditioner
• 8-ounce (227gram) spray bottle
• Water

Place a tablespoon of your favourite conditioner in the spray bottle, and then fill it up with water. Shake well before using to control frizzes, condition dry ends, or to treat dehydrated hair. Note: for less conditioning, use less conditioner; for more conditioning, add more conditioner.

Home-mad deep conditioner

• 4 teaspoons almond, sesame or avocado oil
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil (available in health food stores and at west Indian grocers)
• 3 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar

In a saucepan, slowly heat all the ingredients except for the honey and vinegar. Remove from the heat; allow cooling, and then stirring in the honey and vinegar. After shampooing, massage the mixture into the hair, comb through the strands, and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water.Keep any suitable re-useable bottles for storing your home-made beauty products. Make sure that mixture created from perishable products or foodstuffs are always in the fridge and used within a few weeks, since they can deteriorate over time.

What are leave in conditioners?

Leave-in conditioners are light moisturizers that are not rinsed out. They come in two forms: cream is applied damp hair, and liquid is misted on damp or dry hair. Because leave-in conditioners are so light, many hairdressers recommended them for people with fine hair. Do not use overly hot water to rinse conditioner from your hair, because it will damage your strands. After rising, wrap your hair tightly I a towel to remove as much excess moisture as possible before applying a leave-in conditioner.

About deep conditioners

These intensive conditioners – sometimes called hair-repair treatments, moisturizing packs or hair masks – boost super contracted levels of high powered moisturizers. They are designed to penetrate the cuticle and condition hair, fill in gaps in the cuticle layer, add a degree of strength to fragile strands and blanket hair in protective lubricants, as well as prevent tangles.Most deep conditioners are used immediately after shampooing and allowed to sit for 10 minutes to 2 hours. Some require that you wrap your head in a towel, other suggest you apply heat to help the product better penetrate the cuticle layer, and others need nothing more than for you to sit around for little while. If your name is merely dry, a treatment every 1 to 2 weeks should be enough; if your tresses are fried you might benefit from a treatment after every shampoo – in fact, you might try replacing your regular everyday conditioners with a deep conditioner until your hair improves.
