looking for a deep conditioner
Dec 12^th, 2004 at 2:42pm

Hi all!

I've always used olive oil as my deep conditioner, but lately even when I rinse for ages, I still have a build up of it on my hair and have to wear braids until my next wash day to really get it out. I guess now that I'm taking better care of my hair it doesn't need quite that much?

Anyway, I'm looking for a deep conditioner to mix with shea butter, or a carrier oil like jojoba for a bi-monthly deep conditioning treatment to be left on for at least a few hours and possibly overnight. I'd like something that I can wash out with my CO routine so I don't have to go back to shampoo.

Does anyone have something they really like?

Thanks!

Hi Valerie !

I've been using canned coconut milk on my hair. The brand I use is "Asian passage" - it's in a light green can with an overlay of dark green bamboo leaves.

It has thick chunks of "coconut fat" - it's not like solid coconut oil at all because it washes out so much easier.

Anyway, I open the can and scoop out the pieces and apply them to my hair (when it's dry). I then pour what's left of the milk over my hair and leave it for an hour or so.

It rinses out easily with just one application of shampoo - I haven't tried CO with this particular treatment.

It leaves the hair soooooo soft and shiny - and the smell is heavenly. Try it ! I love it !

I haven't really tried there stuff, but I like how affordable it is. I was hesitant because the only person I know that uses it has shoulder length hair and isn't trying for any longer, but I will have to look into it. Thanks!

It is kind of pricey depending on what size you buy, but it can be diluted or just use a little on your fingertips and it lasts forever. No cones in this one. HTH,

Shake well and you've got a great spray on, leave-in conditioner with no cones and at a fraction of the cost. SF

Is it just a conditioner you put in while washing or is it something else that you leave in? I'm confused. Can anyone enlighten me? Meg

aaaaah, almond, i've been putting loads these days to have an excuse to SHAMPOO my length (i use this emulsion with sunscreen which makes my hair seem so much fuller, shinier, less slippery, but it can get a bit too tacky after a few days). i love it! only today i finally tried almond as a leave in (i use refined almond though, it's the only thing they had in the supermarket). i read some people find it gives way more shine than jojoba. my hair's so soft & shiny now, and i am impressed how light it actually is.

Another (deep)conditioner I'm having very nice results with is Jessicurl 'Too Shea',leaves my hair feeling very moisturized but not weighed down at all.
