DC'ing your child's hair to maintain moisture, health and LENGTH!!
 |
| Apply your deep conditioner generously so every hair is coated! |
If you have a child with textured/curly/afro hair, then please realise and remember this really short mantra...
Conditioner is a CURLS Best Friend! :)
What is DEEP CONDITIONING?
Basically, its when you leave a heavy treatment type conditioner in your hair for a couple of hours or apply a plastic cap to the head and sit under a dryer or steamer with the conditioner in!
Its a deeper type of conditioning treatment. texture hair craves this type of treatment.
Caution ;(
Without conditioning your child's hair, you are leaving their hair, free to get excessively dry, brittle and eventually split-ends and breakage.
After having washed your child's hair, apply your Deep conditioner treatment to the length of your child's strands, ensure that all hairs are covered or rather SLATHERED! with your Deep conditioning treatment of choice.
Cover the head with a plastic cap or plastic bag if that's what you have to hand, and allow body heat or a hooded dryer or steamer to heat up the hair.
Leave it on for a couple of hours, I have left it on overnight on my DD's hair and it has all night to penetrate into the hair and moisturise it INTERNALLY!
Once complete, rinse away and moisturise and allow to air-dry!
Or Stretch blow-dry when your in a rush!
If you incorporate a regular deep conditioning session into your child's weekly haircare routine, you will notice the great impact it has on the health and length of your child's hair!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your information. I recently started this journey last saturday and the only this I missing was DC. It's been a week and I notice a difference already. Questions? Is it a problem if I DC with bee mine, shampoo and co wash with just for me milk and honey and moisturize with just for me lotion and Shea butter leave in by mixing all these products instead of using one line of product for everything? It seems to be working
ReplyDeleteHi, great site!
ReplyDeleteAs most conditioners say to wash out within a specific time(i've not come across one for overnight, yet) do you make your own conditioner for your DD's hair or one that's already made and would it not cause damage to the child's hair if left on for such long periods?
