If we go by the definition, natural hair means the hair that hasn’t been exposed to any sort of chemical and heat treatments. But if we understand it deeply, it’s the afro-textured hair most often seen in Africa. However, a certain population of South and Southeast Asia also has a natural hair type. There many sub-types under the natural hair type but the major problems with all of them are ‘DRYNESS’. Natural hair is more prone to damage due to it’s rough and dry texture, which leads to breakage. But a proper care regime can give them enough nourishment and soften them without using harmful chemicals. One such method is to deep condition them twice a week.

People often use deep conditioning over hair that is chemically-treated to undo the damage. Yet, if you have virgin hairs, you can as well try this method at home to maintain the health of your hair.

A parlor appointment for deep conditioning can be expensive, moreover, it doesn’t offer chemical-free treatment as well. Therefore, you can try this homemade deep conditioner for natural hair at home with the following DIY. This recipe has Argan oil, which is beneficial to prevent and reduce hair fall. And the Jamaican black castor oil moisturizes, strengthens, and promotes hair growth. For the conditioner, you need to find a sulfate-free conditioner and shampoo as sulfate can dry your hair with its propensity to alter the natural oils in your scalp. Yet if you wish to go for a more natural substitute- you can use mashed bananas, coconut milk, and an egg in place of the conditioner.
