7 Best Deep Conditioners for Black Hair

By Jacqueline Samaroo

Deep conditioning could be considered one of the most sacred acts in the natural hair movement. It has proven benefits for helping black hair thrive regardless of its length or texture.

Common Deep Conditioner Questions

Before we take a look at the best deep conditioners for black hair, here are some fast answers to four of those burning questions we tend to have about deep conditioners.

How often should I deep condition my hair?

Deep condition your hair weekly (or at least twice a month) to keep it looking healthy, moisturized, and free from tangles.

What ingredients should I look for in a deep conditioner?

As with all your other natural hair products, look for deep conditioners with natural oils and nutrient-rich ingredients. For example, coconut and olive oil can improve elasticity in brittle hair while amino acids help to repair damaged and color-treated hair.

What products should I avoid in a deep conditioner?

Avoid phthalates, parabens, and silicones. Steer clear, too, of ingredients no one could possibly pronounce.

Should I use a protein-free deep conditioner?

Use a protein-free deep conditioner if you are protein sensitive or have low porosity hair. Protein-rich deep conditioners are good for highly porous, color-treated, or damaged hair. Switching between the two helps maintain your hair’s protein-moisture balance for healthier hair. It also promotes natural hair growth.

Babassu oil is a powerful moisturizer that helps to reduce breakage. It seals moisture into strands for longer when compared to lots of other moisturizing ingredients. If you have protein-sensitive hair or hair that’s suffering from protein overload, then this protein-free option could be the ideal deep conditioner for you. It’s vegan, too!
