I deep condition for an hour with heat. If I try to dc for any less than 30 minutes, my hair will be like "Uhhhhh, so WTF you think you doin?!"

If I don't use heat, I'll dc overnight

[khrystyle]

I usually don't use heat so I wash and then do what I need to do while I am DCing.

 

[JustKiya]

Usually for at least two hours, and depending on how late in the day I got started, overnight.

 

[Mrs. Verde]

I can't sit under the dryer for more than 30 mins. When I first started the DC challenge I was pretty consistent with DC'ing with heat. Now that the summer is here, it's just too hot to sit under a dryer. I have been DC'ing overnight.

 

[QT]

I haven't use heat for awhile now. B/C 1 it's too dang HOT (even w/ AC) and 2 i'm just too lazy to sit under the dyer. So I will DC for several hours w/ out heat and wash that bad boy out.

 

[RubyWoo]

20-25 min w/heat

I can't stand to sit under the dryer any longer. If I choose to deep condition w/o heat, I usually keep the conditioner for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 mins.

Blaming that sweet baby!
I don't dc w/ heat anymore. Especially now. It's been 100+ for several days these last few weeks.
I will put on the plastic cap and go for an hour to two.

 

[fluffylocks]

I dont really like sitting under the dryer...If i could/did it would be for 45min under the dryer....SO i usually just go overnight 95% of the time or leave it in a couple of hours (like 2-3)

 

[Dee-Licious]

Sit under my steamer for 30-45 minutes

 

[stargazer613]

I dc for about 1-3 hours...........I always warm up my condtioner before I apply it to my hair, put on a plastic cap, then a hot towel over that.

 

[Traycee]

I picked overnight...The longer the better...But the my life doesn't always allow me to deep condition over night ..But I try to squeeze overnight in as much as possible..

Most times I deep condition 30mins with heat

 

[Qualitee]

My hair loves an hour + hates 30 or 45 mins

 

[Neith]

I've tried it all. Overnight, with heat, without heat, 20 mins, an hour...

Perosnally I found that not using heat with the dc results in less moisturized hair. Also I found that using heat for too long results in less moisturized hair.

Now I just dc with heat for 25 mins. It's a happy medium

I'm surprised to see that so many people do it for an hour or more!

 

[Kelly210]

I DC for 25 minutes with a heating cap.

 

[malachi74]

i DC with a plastic cap on for 30 min w/ no heat and then i go under the dryer for another 30-45min. i have to use heat or there's no point in DCing.

 

[chebaby]

normaly i deep conditione with heat for 30 minutes. lately i've been co washing daily so i dont do it with heat anymore. this past week i did it over night and my hair came out , so i will be keeping that up.

 

[lilsparkle825]

i like the way my hair feels after a DC with heat but i can only take 20-30 mins before i die. if i DC without heat it stays on at least 2 hours.

i want a gold processing cap thingy so it can get at least a little hot...now i just gotta find one, cause wal-mart and sally's aint doin' it.

 

[SunnyDelight]

I dc for about 1-3 hours...........I always warm up my condtioner before I apply it to my hair, put on a plastic cap, then a hot towel over that.

that sounds awesome. I'm gonna try that tonight.

I got mine from Walgreens.

 

[tenderheaded]

I prefer at least 20 min of heat then letting the con marinate for 2 hrs, but it's just too hot!!! For now it's 2 hrs under the plastic cap.

 

[Tarae]

15-20 minutes w/ heat.

Without heat, I can leave it on forever. Sometimes I'll put on a cap, then a hot wet towel, then a bag over that and go on about my business.

 

[gymfreak336]

I usually just apply the conditioner, put on a plastic cap and cuddle up on the sofa to watch a movie. If I am using heat I will just keep it on for atleast 15 minutes but no longer than 30.

 

[HoneyA]

30-45 mins usually. Depends on the time I have available. Sometimes I dc for 1 hour if I'm watching tv or something or if I fall asleep. Depends.

 

[cecilie]

I DC during 30 to 40 minutes under the dryer . Cecilie .

 

[LABETT]

I DC with my Mastex Heating cap 30-45 min with great results each time.
I have to have heat.

 

[lilsparkle825]

I dc for about 1-3 hours...........I always warm up my condtioner before I apply it to my hair, put on a plastic cap, then a hot towel over that.

i warm it up when i add honey, evoo and raw shea butter. good stuff.

 

[nichole21]

1 hour with no heat

 

[Gracie]

It depends on what my schedule looks like. Usually it is 45-60 with a heating cap if I'm not in a hurry then I leave it in after the heating cap until if feel like rinsing it which could be hours later or the following day.

 

[Simply_Kelz]

With heat .. about half an hour .. then another half and hour without cuz I'm lazy.

Without heat .. all day or overnight. Sometimes both. <~ Again, pure laziness.

 

[wheezy807]

Depends on how i feel, sometimes overnight and sometimes anywhere from 20-30 minutes to an hour.
