What Is Deep Conditioning?

Deep Conditioning is a treatment done to add moisture back into the hair that is lost due to the harsh weather conditions (dry air and wind) and other daily factors.

It’s recommended to do a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week to keep your hair in tip top shape.  It is the most important step in your weekly regimen, it will help retain moisture in your hair and keep knots and tangles away.

Weekly trips to the beauty salon for a deep conditioning treatment can be quite costly.  Doing it at home will save you lots of money.
