How To Seal Your Hair Cuticle With Acv! | My New Deep Conditioning Routine| Natural Nadine

And now it's time for the most important part, the apple cider, vinegar, guys. This is a no mess in your deep conditioning routine. It restores your hair's pH balance seals in all that moisture and look at the shine, the definition that my hair has after I rinse out my deep conditioner, hey there guys it is natural Nadine here and I am back with another video. This is going to be my deep conditioning routine that I explained in my previous video on how to seal your hair cuticle. A lot of people were asking about this, so here it is now. The first step in my deep conditioning routine is always to shampoo, which is a bit of a weird thing to say really, but I shampoo every wash day. I don't use a co-wash or anything like that, because I need my hair to be squeaky squeaky clean so that my deep conditioner can actually penetrate and do what it needs to do now. I always use a moisturizing shampoo. I only use a clarifying shampoo like as in when I feel the need, but for me I always reach for a moisturizing shampoo. Now, after I'd rinsed out my shampoo, this is kind of what my hair was looking like. Now I don't pre-poo, I don't shampoo and twists or anything like that. No particular reason: I'm not saying it's bad, but I'm honestly so lazy like I just want to hop in the shower and go, but then that obviously means that my hair does tend to be Tangled and dry and matted. Just like that, and as you can see from the state of my hair, it is quite dry quite frizzy. Those ends, look terrible, okay, guys, so press season is coming okay, I promise I'm getting a trim and, as you can see from my roots, dry and matted and just in need of a lot of TLC, you can obviously avoid this by pre-pooing detangling beforehand. But honestly, I am here for a good time, not a long time, so I always deep condition in the shower. So I start off by just wetting my hair as I'm doing here, and this is kind of what my hair looks like when it's soaking dripping wet when my hair has just been shampooed. Obviously, the pH of my hair at this point is about six and my cuticles are kind of on this scale, and so my hair is getting dry very quickly. In fact, it's like I'm run, I'm running my head under the shower and then I come back and my hair is literally like pretty much drying straight away. As I've said before, I have high porosity hair. A lot of black girlies have high porosity hair. So you might find this straight after shampooing, your hair dries quite quickly without any product, so the deep conditioner I'm going to be using is this one by Eden, Body Works and she is thick. She is Thicker Than a Snicker like look at that she don't move. Okay, I love this deep conditioner. It is extremely moisturizing, but I will say is that it has little to no slip for detangling, as I mentioned before. My hair is pretty Tangled At this point and I'm going to sort that out later um, but this is probably not the best conditioner for in terms of slip for detangling, but I don't need slip because I've got apple, cider, vinegar, okay and I'm gon na explain A bit more um further on in that, but this is how I apply my deep conditioner, always in the shower and always on wet hair. So I don't know if you guys know, but a lot of products like conditioners and all of that are formulated to work with water and on wet or damp hair, because when your hair is wet or damp, the water molecules can actually carry the product further and Deeper into your hair, I find that when I come out of the shower and start applying my deep conditioner by that time, one I have to apply more conditioner, because my hair's already started to kind of get dry and two. It just doesn't penetrate the same way as when I apply it when my hair is literally wet. I just find that literally when my hair is wet and I apply the deep conditioner in the shower - it's like instant moisture where, when I come out the shower I feel like I have to then do the whole shower cap and then do the heat to really Feel the benefits where I feel it straight away here now, don't get me wrong. I still do the shower. Cap still use the heat, but I'm just saying that when I apply in the shower it almost doesn't feel necessary I'll. Do it anyway, because that mixtures help but yeah? So as I'm applying this deep conditioner, I do um just some small small detangling. I do apply the product on my roots as well, because my roots tend to be very, very matted and I need them to be softened in order for me to go ahead and start deep and detangling but yeah. I try and just do small small finger detangling and I don't go too crazy. Just what my hair will allow me to do to kind of prevent it from snapping and that type of thing I don't use like tools like brushes or anything like that, because, honestly I just I just don't need it yeah I feel like. I don't need brushes. So, that's exactly why I literally just go in with my hands and just get as many of the um tangles out as I can and, as you can see, there's still a whole bunch of tangles in there. So when my hair is kind of like a semi-presentable semi-detangled state um, that is pretty much one. I know to stop raking my fingers in it doesn't actually take that long. I'D say it probably takes me about 10 minutes in the shower to detangle my hair. I'M not one of those people that has to wrestle my hair to detangle it. So I don't I don't. I don't really have that issue which is very lucky of me but Yep. This is me with all the deep conditioner applied to my hair, and this is what my hair looks like with just the deep conditioner and, as you can see, it's already made such a huge difference of just having deep conditioner in my hair, the softness to the The just overall look and health, but I am showing you guys what my hair looks like with deep conditioner and so that you can see when I add my Holy Grail, my apple cider, vinegar mixture onto my hair and you can just see the transformation. So I always put my mixture dry and I just spray it on top of my deep conditioner, and I think this is where a few people were confused in my last video. They were like. What do you mean you put it on top of the deep conditioner you mix it? Do you like what and the answer is yes, so I've literally just finished, applying my deep conditioner it started penetrating, and this apple cider vinegar, is what is going to seal. That moisture into my hair, so the pH of the deep conditioner that I've used is probably around five. I haven't measured it and I couldn't actually find the exact pH online, where the pH of this apple, cider, vinegar, is three and that is going to help to seal. My cuticles return, my hair to its optimum pH, so that my hair can decrease its porosity things. Like shampoos conditioners, they all increase your hair's porosity by altering the pH. So when you apply this apple cider vinegar, it returns your hair back to its optimum pH and seals. Your hair, cuticle and the good thing about apple cider, vinegar, is that it's altering the pH of your hair pH is isn't easily manipulated. It'S not like adding heat to your hair, which is a temporary way to open your cuticles. You know, as soon as that heat disappears, your cuticle is going to be closed, but pH is a Sure Fire foolproof way to make sure that your hair looks good at all times and, as you can see, I don't hold back with the apple cider, vinegar and, As soon as I apply, this apple cider, vinegar guys, the slip in my hair is crazy, even the most Tangled, even those webbed roots that you saw, they just come out so easily, which is exactly why I don't really need to pre-poo. I mean look at the difference before and after the apple cider vinegar it, you can just see, visibly see the difference but yeah. So I the slip that this apple cider vinegar just brings me just - makes me able to just run my hair run. My fingers, through my hair and just detangle, which is likely, I don't, really need to prepare, and I don't really need to use a deep conditioner that has a lot of slip. I mean it's always nice. I love slip as much as the next girl, but sometimes deep conditioners, that contain a lot of slip. Don'T really last that long, I find that I go through them, a lot quicker, so I would rather use a thicker, deep conditioner and then just let my apple cider vinegar provide me with this slip that I need to detangle my hair in the shower. So that's exactly what I'm doing here and I mix the two together now. I can't really explain what this does, but it creates kind of like a pasty like I don't know, just look how great my fingers are running through my hair right now. It creates this nice, beautiful, creamy texture on my hair, whilst sealing the moisture in you can really feel that the moisture has entered your hair. Basically, and I do go ahead and still do the shower cap method, I still go ahead and use heat. Like I said, heat only temporarily opens up your hair cuticles. So as soon as you take that heat off your cuticles are going to go back to where the optimum pH is and because you've got apple, cider, vinegar on your hair, it still works so yeah I mean that's up to you and yeah. So that's pretty much! It for my deep conditioning routine, I was gon na stop filming here until guys. Look at my hair once I'd rinsed out the product. Look at the shine. Look at the definition. Look at just everything. This is all because of the apple cider vinegar. I do tend to leave a little bit of conditioner in my hair because I don't use leave-ins and that's so that's pretty much it for my deep conditioning routine. I hope it cleared up a little bit more about what I do and why I do it and yeah guys. Thank you guys for watching and I'll see you in my next video bye foreign
