Brrrrrr. Cold and wind.

Gotta deeeeeep condition those tresses to prevent them from drying out, getting brittle and tangled.
Otherwise, the strands break (I can hear tiny snaps) when I comb them.

Presently I'm using Charles Worthington's Triple Hydrating anti-frizz deep conditioner for thick, dry hair and PhytoKarite deep conditioner.
I DC twice a week, leaving the product on for anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.

I put a shower cap on and apply heat via a blow-dryer for the first and last five minutes of treatment.
That opens the hair cuticle and gets the moisture and conditioning agents deep into the hair shaft.

I'm always looking out for good products with effective ingredients to test out.
Currently considering Redken's All Soft range (this boards fave rave) and the KMS range which has panthenol (a brilliant conditioner) high on the ingredients list.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

What is your deep conditioning routine and what are your products of choice?

Thanks in advance.
Uzi

I deep condition twice a week. Since it's been getting colder, I just put on a shower cap after putting on the conditioner while I'm in the shower. I currently use Paul Mitchell Instant Moisture Daily Treatment and jojoba conditioner.

I like the new icon papillion_purple!!!! I have got a question about conditioning. I have always heard that if you have oily hair that you were not suppose to condition? Any comments! Thanks! Debbie

Yeah, cute icon p_p .

Debbie, if your scalp and hair are greasy, I suggest you apply conditioner to the ends of your hair only (below the ear-lobes).

There are conditioners made specifically for oily hair that will give you the protection and moisture effects without increasing the greasiness.

Best wishes,
Uzi

My scalp is not greasy- I think it is too short for that. My hair is 1/4 inches tapered down to 1/8- and YES I am a female. Someone was telling me to use conditioner on it- so I thought that I would ask! Thanks Uzi! Debbie

Once in a while I use Sally Hansen's hot oil treatment, or do a deep-conditioning with Kolestrol. One of the things that works for me is leaving the stuff in for a long, long time (either several hours or even overnight).

Being ridiculously allergic and sensitive, I have lately given up conditioning the normal way altogether, and my scalp has improved greatly. Just doing the ends doesn´t help, if I want to leave it in for a while, it´ll either find it´s way to the scalp or my furniture. Instead, I´m using almond oil, from day one after a wash. It seems to keep the worst static under control, and the hair just sucks it up.

I learned the hard way the importance of bewaring from drying out the hair!
