Deep condition for 5 hours?

[Redpoetess1]

I was wondering if doing this would be beneficial to my hair or would it cause more damage? I am using Le Kair's Strengthing and conditioning cholesterol PLus. Any suggestions? It has already been one hour.

I deep condition overnight every week and my hair has never looked better. I don't know anything about Le Kair, but too much protein can be bad so be careful if it has lots of that in it.

I don't think it will harm your hair. I have slept in conditioner before and rinsed in the morning. No problems.

Just looking at this ingredient list does it have a lot of protein?

You can leave it in as long as you want if you don't have protein in it. For example if you deep con with butters/oils/cream/it is ok... but with protein you have to be very careful

Collagen is protein.

Oh ok........well what other products do you guys suggest that I keep in my hair and deep condition>?

The only other product I have is Pantene Pro-V Intensive Moisturizing Conditioner (Relaxed and Natural).
Any suggestions?

Should I use the Pantene Moisturizing Treatment for my hair for 5 hours>?

 

[sengschick]

As long as it's moisturizing it should be okay, again w/o protein. What are the ingredients? Oils would work too.

No protein, but lots of alcohol and has cones. As long as your hair has been responding to it well... but I wondering the real advantage. I don't do anything overnight b/c nothing is going to soak in much more than it does in an hour, even w/a plastic cap on all night. If I wanted to sleep in something it would be a heavy oil treatment (shea, castor, coconut and/or EVOO) or some totally natural conditioner like Nature's Gate Original.

I do a Vatika and Amla oil for an overnight treatment. I massage the two oils in, concentrating on my new growth. I let it sit overnight and then wash it out the next day.
