Today, we're continuing with our natural hair series. One of the most important components of a natural hair regimen is regular deep conditioning. There are some good deep conditioners in the market, but homemade deep conditioner does your strands some good plus you’re sure of no chemicals. Always apply a deep conditioner, freshly washed and conditioned hair.

Apply from roots to tips, utilizing a smoothing motion to ensure thorough application. When finished, put on a shower cap and allow to stay from 30mins to 1hr your choice but it is not advisable to leave for more than an hour. Then rinse with cool water. Here are 3 homemade deep conditioners.
