Unless otherwise stated on the bottle or package the answer is no it can not be used as a deep conditioner. It wont penatrate(sp) deep into the hair shaft. Now there are some products that can be a leave in and a deep conditioner one of them being WEN cleansing conditioners. It can be a leave in, a deep conditioner, and a detangler per the directions on the bottle. HTH

I agree, with the poster above. Leave-in conditioners can be made a little more beneficial if you baggy with them in or sit under the dryer. But they won't be able to penetrate the hair shaft properly and be able to function as a deep conditioner would.

I don't know about them being used as deep conditioners but some leave-in products claim to penetrate the cortex of the hair. One such product is:

* Essential for those using styling tools or dryers
* May be used daily, before styling or setting
* Adds Body and Texture
* Stops Frizz and Seals in Moisture
* Protects Color and Curls
* Alcohol Free

Directions:

Wash hair with ApHogee Shampoo and towel dry. Spray or pour 1/4 to 3/4 ounce of Pro-Vitamin leave-in Conditioner onto hair depending on length and thickness. Comb thoroughly. Hair should be evenly damp, but not over wet. Blow dry on low heat setting or air dry naturally. Style as usual.
