Deep Conditioning

no poo deep conditioning - thenopoomethod.com

 I do a deep conditioning mask about once a month. My personal favorite is coconut oil (see how I use it here). But I also use egg, honey, avocado, and kefir.

Mix your ingredients, apply to your hair, and leave on for 20 minutes to overnight. How long you leave your mask in will depend on your hair, your desired results, and what moisturizers you use. Here are some common options:

  • Honey
  • Aloe Vera Gel
  • Kefir (learn how to make it here)
  • Yogurt
  • Kombucha (learn how to make it here)
  • Egg (Egg add protein to your hair. Too much protein can make it stiff & brittle. Avoid using egg too often. Read more here under “egg wash”. Always use cool water with an egg wash.)
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Beer
  • Tea
  • Coconut Oil
  • Coconut Milk
  • Avocado
  • Banana
  • Castor Oil
  • Argan Oil (read more about argan oil here)
  • Olive Oil
  • Avocado Oil
  • Almond Oil
  • Jojoba Oil
  • Henna (see more in the hair color section)

Depending on what you use, it may be able to wash it out with just water. If not, you can use baking soda, clay (bentonite or rhassoul), egg, or soap nuts to remove the conditioner (see this page for info on each of those options). Egg works very well for me. I condition with coconut oil and then follow with an egg wash (see my full process here).

Note that if you have super dry hair, a deep conditioner is great to moisturize it, but you need to look into the no poo method you use and make some adjustments.

You can use a single ingredient deep moisturizer (one of the ingredients listed above). Or you can mix & match them. Use your imagination! The possibilities are endless. Here are some recipes:

  • Avocado Deep Conditioner from Health Extremist
  • Detox Hair Mask from The Coconut Mama
  • Banana Avocado Smoothie from The Sprouting Seed
  • 12 Masks from Revived Kitchen
  • Ayurvedic Herbal Hair Mask from Conscious Health
  • Coconut Oil Treatment from Holistic Health Herbalist
  • Coconut Vanilla Cream from Thank Your Body
  • Banana & Egg Conditioner from La Healthy Living

    The best I have ever used is the GKhair deep conditioner hair mask. A complete damage reconstructor. Very effective against chemical services, heat styling and other environmental effects. Strengthens each hair strand and repairs from the inside out. Just love it. 🙂 <3
