Deep Conditioning on Dry Hair

Lately I've been skipping my co-washing step in favor of deep conditioning on dry hair. Being oh so human, sometimes at the end of my hair week I slack off in terms of keeping it adequately moisturized ("It's okay that its a little dry, I'm washing it tomorrow anyway"). So on hair washing day I wind up with medium dry hair that needs an infusion of both protein and moisture.

Deep conditioning on dry hair simply means applying your deep conditioner first without wetting your hair. For me that means I use enough Amla Silk Deep Therapy Restorative Masque blended with Bhaasvataa Oil  to cover my whole head, place a plastic bag on it, put a thermal (Thinsulate) hat on top of that, leave it on for about 20 minutes, then rinse it out. This really minimizes the shedding that I can sometimes see if I cowash medium-to-very dry hair.  As a result my hair is extra sleek and resilient.
