I have to agree to Antoinette. And it’s not just true for african hair. I’m european and what she said is also true for my curly, dry hair. Maybe the heat softens the product and makes it a bit runny (deep conditioners have a rather firm consistency usually), so it is distributed evenly and around each single hair shaft. That would be my guess why this method works so well.

I’m disagree with not using the heated deep conditioners. nautural african textured hair is extremely dry and responds well to using a plastic cap and using a warm heat cap for about 15 minutes. I like joico conditioning balm, olive oil replenishing conditioner by oranic root stimulator and also black vanilla hair smoothy by Carols Daughter. both have a lot of oil so maybe that accounts for the difference. I wonder though, how can a warm heat cap be damaging. anyone know?

Mario Tricoci Spas has stylists who are really good at matching the needs of my curly hair to the products that are right for me. They’ll suggest a conditioner that is better suited for my non oily curly hair than say my sister’s straight hair that is more oily.

I have to agree with Kimberly, I recommend to all my clients to use Devacurl, Ouidad, or a similar product that focuses on curls. Here is a good article for curly hairstyles as well http://www.latest-hairstyles.com/curly/
