I was researching hommade deep conditioning methods on YouTube and I found this. (you can skip to the middle if you want)
She says its her hommade heating cap, but honestly, I love the way it looks so intentional and put together as she DC’s! As you can see… she uses a tee shirt to make a makeshift headwrap and uses it as insulation for her DC’s that she sometimes leaves in for a whole day.
I think this is a great way to stay cute as you DC. Maybe you want to DC for a whole day and dont wanna look crazy or maybe you just dont have time to rinse out your Dc and have to run out. I think this is a great way to still look presentable while your hair is getting moisturized. Hope that tip gave some of you an idea on how to stay cute while you condition!

Hey all! So my regimen has significantly changed to ensure I stay ahead of the curve in terms of hair health. When my hair was virgin my regimen was super basic and my hair didn’t require much. To be frank I DC’d when the wind struck me and pretty much did whatever I wanted lol….but now I’ve stepped my game up to be sure that I still reach all my health and length goals color and all. So here is my new reggie:
- I co-wash much more and shampoo much less. I plan to shampoo maybe once a month or month and a half. I co-wash with Trader Joe’s Nourishspa.
- I make it my business to DC thoroughly with every wash. Its usually Lekair Shea Butter cholesterol with possibly some oil thrown in like olive oil. (I’m gonna start diversifying my moisture DC’s, I know yall tired a hearin bout LeKair lmao)
- I’m going to start a “student on a budget version of steaming” as well (dont worry I’ll post about it loves 
)
- I’ve already begun doing hardcore protien treatments every 6 weeks with Aphogee 2-step.
- If I straighten now, I use my new technique of air-drying in braids prior and eliminate the blow-drying step altogether and only flat iron…this has made a tremendous difference in reducing heat exposure and avoiding that burnt smell you get from having several forms of heat exposure to your hair.
- I’m going to begin doing clear rinses every month to seal the cuticle of my hair and encourage it to lay back down so that it retains moisture that much better.
- My hair is doing really well and feels strong and moisturized most times. As long as I stay on my p’s and q’s I think everything will go well with my hair.
Hope that helped!

- Egg/ Mayonnaise / Olive Oil
- This has been a traditional Hair treatment in Haiti for Generations and its the best! Its a light protien conditioner that will also leave the hair moisturized and leave it with a great shine. This can be a pre-poo or a final rinse out conditioner.
- Ripe or Slightly Overipe Avocado with olive oil
- This treatment is great for providing moisture to the hair
- Honey / cheapy conditioner/with oilve oil (or any other kind of oil) : This is a moisturizing deep treatment
You can find yourself an awesome deep conditioner right there in your kitchen get to deep treating!!
