1. Suave Professionals Coconut Milk Deep Moisture Conditioner: Yes, this is a conditioner that provides deep conditioning. Don’t run from a normal conditioner. Here’s the thing: You can use your regular conditioner as a deep conditioner simply by changing the way you use it. Instead of rinsing it right out after you apply and comb it through your hair, opt for leaving it on for an additional 5-10 minutes. This conditioning system deeply moisturizes leaving parched curls a thing of the past.
2. Dove Quench Absolute Intensive Restoration Mask: If you have curls that are dry and damaged, it’s best to look for a deep conditioner that’ll help nourish your strands. Not only does this mask moisturize your curls without the heavy, weighed-down feeling; it also helps prevent frizz and leaves you with defined curls. All you need is to slather some of this stuff through your curls after shampooing, allow it to sit for five minutes, and rinse. For deeper conditioning, cover your hair with a shower cap and apply a heating cap on top. The heat will allow the mask to penetrate deeply into your curls.
