How to Do an Overnight Deep Conditioner on Wet Hair

All hair needs moisture. That is especially the case if you have dry, curly or color-treated hair. Deep conditioners are an effective way to hydrate the hair. To make it really count, apply deep conditioner to your hair and leave it on all night so that it really sinks in. Instead of a commercial deep conditioner, use coconut oil as an overnight treatment. Use an overnight deep conditioner weekly or monthly and enjoy your silky locks.

Things You'll Need

• Sulfate-free shampoo
• Towel
• Coconut oil
• Shower cap

Instructions

1. Apply a dime-sized amount of a sulfate-free shampoo to your hair. Rinse it out thoroughly.

2. Dab your wet hair with a towel to remove some of moisture.

3. Dip your fingers into a tub of coconut oil. Slather it all over your hair. Rub it gently into every strand.

4. Put a shower cap on over your hair. Leave it on overnight and head to bed.

5. Rinse the coconut oil out of your hair the next morning. Use warm water to remove it thoroughly.

Tips & Warnings

• If your hair feels greasy after you rinse out the coconut oil, wash it with shampoo.
