In between hairdressing appointments I’ve been treating my
hair to deep conditions to maintain moisture and stop it from drying out.
As there are various deep conditioning treatments on the
market I thought it would be good to try a few and to see which gives the best
nourishment and shine.
My hair curly and straight
My hair texture is natural I can wear it curly or straight
at its best it’s silky and soft but from time to time it gets frizzy, dry
and needs some love. That’s where the treatments come in handy.
I got all my treatmeant packets at my local hair and beauty shop Shaba Hair & Cosmetics for 99p each.
Olive Oil
Replenishing Pak
How it works – After shampooing apply a generous amount
to hair and comb through apply to sections of hair to make sure it’s
distributed. Place a plastic cap over the hair and sit under a warm dryer for
10-15 minutes or leave on the hair for 45 minutes to 1 hour without heat.
What I thought - I tried the Olive Oil treatment two
different ways with and without heat. I found results were better when sitting
under a warm dryer for 30 minutes, my hair was softer after setting and not so
frizzy when using heat.
This is a thick and creamy lotion that blends into the
hair easily there is a generous amount inside one sachet which is perfect if
you have thick and long hair. The sweet citrus scent is slightly overpowering
it’s one your either will like or not but once it’s on the hair it smells
pleasant.
This was first deep conditioning treatment I used and
after a fair amount of time applying it I felt my hair become too used to it.
I think if your hair really dry and damaged, this deep
conditioner is ideal for use for several weeks to start with. It will replenish
your hair and bring back moisture but after then I’d switch to something else.
Rating 3/5.
Crème of Nature Argan
Oil
I decided to try out Crème of Nature’s deep conditioning
treatment after hearing all about the hype of argan oil.
How it works – After shampooing apply a generous amount to
hair and comb through from root to ends apply to sections of hair to make sure
it’s distributed. Place a plastic cap over the hair and sit under a warm dryer
for 10-15 minutes or leave on the hair for 30 minutes to 1 hour without heat.
This treatment is infused with certified organic argan oil
from Morocco. The presence of vitamin E in makes it a great agent for hair
treatment. I am guilty of using too much heat on my hair and over styling so I
felt hopeful that the vitamin E in the argan oil would restore and repair my
hair.
What I thought - The conditioner can be applied very easily
the lotion is light and sweet smelling. I used this treatment with and without
heat and found better results sitting under a warm dryer for 20 minutes. Once
my hair had been rinsed I found my hair to be soft and frizz free which would
be great if I wanted to air dry my hair to keep it curly.
After setting I found my hair to be soft at the roots but
frizzy at the ends, I think this could be as this product acts like a protein
treatment and benefits the scalp and roots more than the hair.

Dr. Miracle’s Feel It
Formula Tingling Intensive
How it works – After shampooing apply a generous amount to
hair and comb through from root to ends apply to sections of hair to make sure
it’s distributed. Place a plastic cap over the hair and sit under a warm dryer
for 10-15 minutes or leave on the hair for 30 minutes to 1 hour without heat.
What I thought – The formula is like a breath of fresh air
for your hair the tingling sensation on the scalp is enjoyable. It also
contains good oils like avocado and almond, along with vitamins A and E to
improve hair health. Once I worked the lotion into my hair, I put a plastic cap
on for 30 minutes without heat.
After using this packet a couple of times I noticed how my
hair was soft and shiny after setting and it felt smoother compared with the
results using the Olive Oil treatment.
I think this would be too for fine hair as it produces an
oily texture after application but it would be ideal for very dry and heat
damaged hair.

Soft n’ Free Milk
& Protein Olive Oil
How it works – After shampooing, use the entire peacket to
condition hair and scalp. Comb through with a large toothed comb. Cover hair
with a plastic cap and sit under a warm dryer for 10 to 15 minutes, or keep
hair covered for 30 to 45 minutes without heat. Rinse well and towel dry.
On a regular trip to my local hair shop the Soft n’ Free
conditioning treatment packet caught my eye. This was something I hadn’t tried
before and I hadn’t used Soft n’ Free products since I was in primary school
but I thought I’d give it a go.
What I thought – I was impressed with the light and creamy
texture of the lotion. This was easily applied to my hair and didn’t feel too
heavy in consistency.
I placed a plastic cap on for 30 minutes without heat and
after rinsing set my hair as usual with the hair dryer then straightners. I
really like how this treatment left my hair feeling bouncy, smooth and fresh. I
didn’t feel dry the next day or frizzy in texture, this was by far my favourite
treatment to use I even went back to the store and bought four more packets!
