In this blog, you'll discover why deep conditioning is an essential step for maintaining healthy curls. With intense hydration, strength, manageability, and restored elasticity, your curls will thank you for the nourishing care. Read on to learn when and how to deep condition using The One & Only Creamy Conditioner.
Intense Hydration
Curls thrive on moisture, and deep conditioning delivers the ultimate dose of hydration. It replenishes moisture lost due to styling, weather, and everyday wear, leaving our curls bouncy, soft, and oh-so-nourished.
Strengthens and Repairs
Deep conditioning helps repair and strengthen hair from within. It minimises breakage, split ends, and damage caused by heat styling, chemicals, and environmental factors. It's like a superhero shield for your precious curls!
Enhances Manageability
Hello, detangling made easy! Deep conditioning smooths down the cuticles, making your curls more manageable and reducing frizz. Nourished curls result in enhanced definition and promotes your natural curl pattern.
Restores Elasticity
Curly hair tends to be more prone to dryness, which can lead to reduced elasticity. Deep conditioning revives your curls, restoring their bounce and elasticity, so they can spring back to life with every move.
Timing is key! Here's when you should give your curls some extra love with a deep conditioning session:
- 01Regular Maintenance: Incorporate deep conditioning into your weekly or bi-weekly hair care routine. Consistency is key to maintain optimal moisture levels and keep those curls looking their best!
- 02After Clarifying Wash: Because clarifying shampoos are so effective at removing buildup, your curls may feel a bit dryer after washing. ALWAYS deep condition after a clarifying wash to restore moisture.
- 03After Colouring / Highlighting: Deep conditioning is a must after colour treatment. It helps repair damage caused by chemical processes and restores moisture balance.
- 04Seasonal TLC: During dry, cold months or hot, sunny days, your curls may need some extra nourishment. Deep conditioning during these times helps combat the effects of harsh weather conditions.
- 01Wash and Prep: Apply the conditioner to sopping wet hair after your cleanse or cowash.
- 02Wrap it Up: Cover your hair with plastic wrap, clingfilm, or a trusty shower cap, sealing in the goodness.
- 03Build the Heat: Cover your head to build warmth and allow the conditioner to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft.
- 04Wait for 20+ Minutes: Relax and let it work its magic for 20–30 minutes using whichever method works best for you.
- 05Smooth Operator: Once back in the shower, glide your fingers through your hair in a gentle downward milking motion, smoothing down the cuticles for a sleek result.
- 06Squish to Condish: Gather your curl clumps in your hand and 'squish to condish' to further push the product deeper into the hair shaft.
- 07Rinse and Revive: Rinse thoroughly, making sure to rinse the scalp well.
- 08Unleash the Styling Duo: Follow up with Crème De La Curl Creme or Coiling Me Softly Curl Custard and Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel.
In the sun
Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap and sit in the sun. Simple and effective!
Indoors

This is your sign to show your curls some love with a deep conditioning session and watch them become more radiant, stronger, and more moisturised!
