Demystifying Deep Conditioning

Let's begin by unpacking the term "deep conditioning". While it may seem like a fancy phrase thrown around by hair experts, it is a crucial step for an effective haircare routine. Think of it as a ‘spa day’ for your hair. Deep conditioning provides the hair with the intense hydration and nourishment it needs to keep healthy and beautiful. But how does it work?

A deep conditioner, sometimes called a hair mask’ is an intense conditioning treatment, formulated with rich, nourishing ingredients that can help hydrate and strengthen the hair. It goes beyond your regular conditioner, penetrating deep into your hair to repair damage, restore moisture and strengthen it from within. This results in softer, shiny, and more manageable. Let’s explore these deep-conditioning benefits in a bit more detail.

The Benefits of Deep Conditioning

Here are a few reasons why you should consider creating your own deep conditioning routine to promote healthy-looking locks:

• Intense Hydration: Deep conditioners are formulated to quench your hair thirst, by restoring moisture to dry hair, leaving it softer and more manageable for styling.

• Repair and Strengthen: Beyond the surface, deep conditioning works to repair and strengthen the hair from within, minimizing hair damage from environmental stressors and styling.

• Improved Manageability: When formulated with ingredients that are able to coat the hair shaft and lock in moisture, deep conditioners are able to minimize frizz and flyaways, leaving your hair softer, smoother and easier to manage or style.

• Revives Hair: If your hair has lost its lustre, deep conditioning can help bring back the shine, making your hair look vibrant and healthy.

With these fantastic benefits, we’re sure you’re keen to get started with adding deep conditioning to your routine. So let us get into how you can include deep condition your hair at homes with these 5 simple steps:

How to Deep Condition Your Hair Like a Pro, Right at Home

1. Cleanse First: The first step to reaping the benefits of deep conditioning is giving your hair a deep cleanse with the TRESemmé Cleanse & Replenish Deep Cleanse Shampoo. This shampoo will help remove product build-up and heavy residues, ensuring your hair is clean and ready to absorb all the goodness of the deep conditioning routine.

2. Apply Your Conditioning Treatment: Apply your chosen deep conditioner evenly from roots to tips. Use a wide-tooth comb to ensure every strand is coated and to help remove any tangles."

3. Patience is a Virtue: Leave the deep conditioner in for about 5 to 15 minutes or according to the recommended time on the packaging, to let the conditioner work its magic. Use this as an opportunity for some self-care or simply relaxing.

4. Heat May Help: Depending on the porosity of your hair i.e. low porosity hair, introducing heat may help the conditioner penetrate deeper and quicker your hair shaft. To do this you can wrap your hair in a plastic cap followed by a warm towel or use a hooded dryer on the lowest setting.

5. Rinse and Seal: After the waiting game, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
