deep conditioner

A deep conditioner is an intensive hair treatment that nourishes and strengthens hair by penetrating deep into the hair fibers. It restores moisture, making hair shinier, more manageable, and healthier. Typically, it is a thick cream applied after washing hair, left on for 20-30 minutes, often with heat to open hair cuticles for better absorption, and then rinsed out with cold water to close the cuticles. Deep conditioners are especially beneficial for dry, damaged, curly, wavy, or afro-textured hair, providing deep hydration, improving elasticity, protecting against damage, and enhancing curl definition. They differ from regular conditioners by offering more intensive and long-lasting conditioning effects and are often used weekly or biweekly for best results.
