Why is it important to deep condition natural hair?

I started my natural hair journey about 3 years ago and my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner. During this time I have come to know my hair, what it likes, what it craves and how to fix any ‘issues’ that may arise with it. Yes folks my hair and I have a very special relationship… 🙂

I have noticed that when I deep condition my hair regularly it’s noticeably stronger, manageable and shiny.

For the most part I like to keep things simple in my life. My hair care regimen is no exception.

It’s quite difficult to find good, natural hair care products at a reasonable price (especially here in Europe) so I asked myself… How can I make my own deep conditioner for my natural hair.

How do you deep condition your natural hair?

I have received a lot of requests for my homemade deep conditioner recipe. It’s such a simple formula I never actually thought of posting it here on Natural Fit Foodie.

What you’ll love about this homemade deep conditioner recipe is that it’s made from simple ingredients from your fridge and pantry.

Homemade Deep Conditioner Ingredients & Benefits

Greek Yogurt – provides protein to strengthen, moisturize and reduce frizz

Raw Honey – is a natural humectant – which means it attracts and locks in moisture. Honey softens and smooths hair, boosts hair growth and increases shine

Coconut Oil – strengthens and moisturises

Lemon juice – closes hair shaft and makes hair shine

Lavender Essential Oil – great for all hair types. It helps control hair breakage and improves hair growth. Also great for dandruff.

Tea Tree Essential Oil – is a great moisturizer for the hair. It unblocks the sebaceous glands and encourages the flow of the scalp’s own moisturizing oils while clearing away dead skin cells. Tea tree oil mixed with other essential oils is especially good as a scalp treatment for relieving dandruff.

The best moisturizing deep conditioner for natural hair

I have experimented with many homemade deep conditioner recipes in the past, especially high protein treatments containing eggs and mayonnaise but my hair just wasn’t feeling those. I had sort of given up on protein treatments, until I whipped up this homemade deep conditioner.

If you’ve tried such treatments without luck in the past give my recipe a try! The greek yogurt seems to provide just the right amount of protein.

Protein deep conditioners also called treatments, contain proteins that attach to your hair in the areas that are weak to help strengthen the hair. The protein hardens the cuticle layer of your hair, and also puts a protective barrier around the hair. (Source)

This Homemade Deep Conditioner is the one for me at the moment. My hair is nourished and revitalized with each and every use. I hope it works for you too!

Note regarding ingredients:

How much you’ll need will depend on the length and thickness of your hair. My hair is pretty thick and around shoulder length so I find that I need a lot to coat it well. To be honest I usually wing it with the measurements but I have still attempted to put together a recipe for you below.
