Thick, curly, natural hair, can be pretty hard to tame, but once you understand the dynamics of natural hair, you'll be able to better care for it using natural ingredients. This homemade deep conditioner for natural hair uses all natural ingredients that penetrate thick, dry hair better than most store bought products!
Basically, natural hair, or African hair, is different than Asian or Caucasian hair because it is much curlier and much thicker, therefore making it prone to dryness. Because of this, it's also much harder for products to penetrate the hair follicle.
This is why it's super important to use a deep conditioner 2-3 times a week, and especially a natural one at that. Store bought conditioners are laden with chemicals and other ingredients which can further dry out the hair follicles. Keep reading for this homemade deep conditioner for natural hair!
