Curly, coily, and kinky hair types naturally struggle to retain moisture. That’s because natural oils from the scalp have a harder time traveling down the spiral-shaped strands. Without regular hydration, curls become brittle, dull, and prone to breakage.
The Solution? Use a Rich, Deep Conditioner Weekly
A good deep conditioner for curly hair doesn’t just sit on top of your strands—it penetrates and nourishes. At Reeta’s Organics, we formulated our Raw Honey & Rosehip Deep Conditioner with thick, nutrient-rich ingredients that revive and soften dry curls.
Raw honey: draws in moisture, smooths rough strands
Rosehip oil: supports scalp health, reduces frizz
Shea butter: protects against breakage
No silicones, sulfates, or artificial fillers
How to Use a Deep Conditioner on Curly Hair
Step-by-Step:
Shampoo with a gentle clarifier like our African Black Soap Clarifying Shampoo
Apply Raw Honey & Rosehip Deep Conditioner generously from roots to ends
Cover with a plastic cap and let sit for 20–30 minutes. Use heat for deeper penetration if your hair is extra dry.
Rinse thoroughly. Follow up with our Moisture Rich Leave-In Conditioner
What’s the Difference Between a Deep Conditioner and a Leave-In?
A deep conditioner is a rinse-out treatment used weekly to restore elasticity, moisture, and strength. A leave-in conditioner is lightweight and stays in your hair to provide lasting softness, shine, and detangling.
Use our Moisture Rich Leave-In Conditioner after every wash to:
Detangle without ripping through curls
Boost softness without buildup
Maintain hydration between deep conditioning sessions
What If Your Hair Is Really Dry or Damaged?
That’s where our Wash Day Bae Bundle comes in. It includes:
ACV Pre-Wash to break buildup and balance your scalp
African Black Soap Shampoo to gently clarify
Raw Honey Deep Conditioner for intense hydration
Moisture Rich Leave-In Conditioner to seal in softness
This bundle is designed to work as a full system for dry, brittle, or over-styled curls.
FAQ: Deep Conditioner for Curly Hair
How often should I deep condition curly hair?
Once a week for most. If your hair is chemically treated or extremely dry, try 2x weekly until it improves.
Can I leave a deep conditioner on overnight?
If it’s made with clean, natural ingredients like ours—yes. But 30 minutes with heat is usually enough.
Can I skip deep conditioning if I use leave-in?
Not recommended. Leave-ins help daily, but deep conditioners repair deeper damage.
Should I deep condition before or after shampooing?
Always after shampooing, especially with a clarifier like the African Black Soap.
Final Thoughts
If your curls are dry, dull, or breaking—start with the basics. Use a clean, moisture-focused deep conditioner made for curly hair. Pair it with a good leave-in like ours, and give your hair what it’s been missing.
