Humectants are ingredients that lock in hydration into your strands and emollients prevent moisture loss by forming a protective barrier around your strands. Deep conditioning restores your hair’s moisture, strengthens it and repairs damage. How long to deep condition hair, you ask? Leave it on for 20-30 minutes for best results.
