Biracial Hair Care Tips

In addition to regular washing and conditioning with a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, a good hot oil treatment or deep conditioner is essential to repairing and preventing damage done to the hair by chemicals, sun, heat, dry air, etc. Treasured Locks offers several hair repair products.This treatment should be done every 4-6 weeks for best results.What you’ll need:

• Deep conditioner or hot oil treatment
• Disposable plastic conditioning cap (can be bought at any drug store or beauty supply store)

Nice to have:

• Microwave or Professional Conditioning Heat Cap- these are devices that get warm and you can place on your hair to open up the cuticles and allow the conditioner to penetrate. They work better than a bonnet dryer because they produce warm, radiant heat rather than drying convective heat.

To do the treatment

• Wash hair as normal. You can skip the normal conditioning step
• Apply the conditioner or hot oil treatment to the hair and scalp
• Cover with plastic cap
• Place heated conditioning cap on the head and leave on for 15-30 minutes
  • If you do not have a heated cap, you can wrap your head in a towel or use a bonnet hair dryer
• Wash hair thoroughly
