Is Your Deep Conditioner Not Doing Your Hair Justice?

This beauty knows what it takes to keep her hair in glorious condition.

If your deep conditioner doesn’t seem to be doing enough to repair the extent of hair damage as you had hoped, you might want to just try another brand or formula. Before you go shopping for a new one, you’ll be better off knowing what type of ingredients that can help your suffering hair the most.

The best deep conditioners have plenty of fatty acids.  These ingredients are emulsifiers, the oily substances needed to fortify and saturate the cuticle of damaged hair with that needed moisture to rehydrate and repair. Some common ones are stearyl acid, cetearyl acid, capric acid, linoleic acid, pantothenic acid (panthenol), and myristic acid among others to oils like coconut and jojoba.  
                
You also want to make sure to look for smoothing ingredients such as dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxne (silicone compounds).  These help in keeping the hair’s cuticle flat to maximize shine and manageability.

Hopefully, this hair tip will help you find more hair happiness in the future!

What to Look for When Buying a Deep Conditioner for Your Hair!


Regardless of using a chemical process such as hair coloring, perming, or straightening or not, we still may be mistreating our hair through blow-drying or curling with hot styling tools unless you always remember to apply a thermal protecting product.  Even so, your hair is not immune from damage.  The weather also affects the condition of your hair.

The extreme cold that we’re experiencing now in the winter increases the problems from static electricity in the hair to more dry frizz and split ends.  On the other hand, excessive summer sun and can fry the hair and further damage to the point it feels as dry and brittle as a haystack.

To keep your hair in optimum condition, you should play it safe with a deep conditioner at least once a month even if you use a rinse-out daily conditioner. However, you need  to know what ingredients are the most helpful for coating and sealing the hair cuticle to prevent snapping.

When you read the product’s label, look for formulas that have proteins such as keratin,  quats like cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride and silicones such as amodimethicone.

An excellent green formula is the one that I am using right now with Keune’s So Pure Moisturizing Treatment for hair.  It has wheat protein (protein), amodimethicone (silicone), and the cetearyl alcohol behentrimonium chloride (biodegradable quat).
