Welcome to In My Head, a monthly column where we break down the latest and greatest natural hair products to hit our doorsteps that actually live up to the hype. This month: deep conditioners. If there's anything my hair needs after I remove a protective style, it's moisture — and lots of it. In the same way that I have to be a little picky about the shampoos I use after removing braids to ensure I can properly remove all of that product buildup, I have to be equally as selective about what I deep condition my hair with, making sure the formula goes to work on my hair to banish any dryness without sitting on it or weighing it down. I've had a few newer deep conditioners in rotation over the last year, and there are a couple of others that I decided to test on a wash day after taking out a protective style. Ahead, I'll take you through a few standouts. Amika The Kure Multi-task Repair Treatment Image Source: loveamika.com If I had to pick my favourite thing about the Amika The Kure Multi-task Repair Treatment ($28), it'd be how light it is. The product has a light jelly texture that's so easy to apply without overdoing it thanks to the bottle's nozzle applicator. This treatment is meant to be used to reduce breakage and strengthen the hair, but it can also be used as a leave-in depending on how damaged your hair might be.

It smells amazing and has a whipped texture that softened and conditioned my curls on top of making them feel extremely bouncy.

The mask is infused with honey to deep condition the hair and help it retain moisture, and it made my hair feel softer and more hydrated even before I let it sit for around 30 minutes.

This is a deep conditioner that I had to use very lightly and mix with water to thin it out a bit so it could get the job done without weighing my hair down and making it feel heavy. 4C Only Too Thicke Deep Conditioner $23 from 4conly.com Buy Now HairProduct ReviewsNatural HairBeauty ReviewsBeauty ShoppingBeauty Products
