Comments (12)

For those looking to add strength and moisture to their hair, deep conditioning on a consistent basis is key.

If you are looking to start deep conditioning on a consistent basis or just looking for new conditioners to try, I compiled a list of popular deep conditioners. Most of these product can be found online or in your local beauty supply store or shopping center.

Moisture Based Deep Conditioners - For dry, dull, brittle and breaking hair. For best results, use weekly under heat.

For hair that is not experiencing significant breakage or dryness but needs a little boost in moisture, alternate between deep conditioning with a moisture based conditioner and light protein based conditioner each week.

  • Keracare Humecto
  • Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner
  • Keracare Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair
  • Crème of Nature Nourishing Conditioner
  • Atone Botanicals Reconstructer

Protein Based Conditioners (Light/Medium) - For limp, lifeless, thinning and overly elastic hair.
For best results, use a light protein conditioner weekly until hair regains strength and body.

For hair that is not experiencing significant thinning or inelasticity but needs a little extra strength, alternate between deep conditioning with a moisture based conditioner and light protein based conditioner each week.

  • Nexxus Emergencee
  • Aphogee Treatment for Damaged Hair
  • Joico K-Pak reconstructer
  • Mizani Kerafuse

Combination - Moisture and Protein Based Conditioners - For damaged hair. May still need to follow with additional moisture based conditioner, depending on hair's needs.
