Deep conditioners

[BeautifulNameX]

Ehat is important in a deep conditioner what ingrediant makes it DEEP and what is a good one. i was thinking mixin infusim wit a normal one would that make it deep

I use almost any conditioner as a deep conditioner. Generally the ones that work best for me are the ones that contain many natural ingredients that work well for the hair. I look for essential oils in the ingredient list as well as bonuses such as aloe, etc. Sometimes I come across conditioners with ingredients that read like an Einstein theory. Just a bunch of scientific mess. But it really depends. I've found cheap conditioners that leave my hair feeling better than some of their more expensive counterparts. But I know other ladies have had the opposite effect.

I used to think of them as thick and heavy conditioners. However, I use all types of conditioners, including, Suave, VO5 and White Rain, as a deep conditioners. Basically, whatever gets the job done for what my hair needs at the time.

what ingrediant makes it DEEP

To me it's the length of time that the conditioner is left on the hair and/or the use of heat while conditioning that makes it deep.

I don't flat iron my hair, but hopefully, some of the other members can give you a good suggestion.

In the professional cosmetology world, a deep conditioner is referring to a protein treatment put on the hair and then a plastic cap placed on the client and then the client is placed under the dryer. Some stylists will leave you under the dryer beyond 7 minutes, but after 7 minutes the conditioner has done all that it's going to do. This is called a "deep conditioner" because the heat is meant to open the cuticles thus causing the protein to penetrate (deep) into the hair.

However, on this board when someone is using the term deep conditioner, they are usually just talking about any conditioner used with a plastic cap and sitting under the dryer with it.

I read somewhere that in order for it to perform as a deep conditioner it had to specifically say "deep conditioner" on the bottle. I don't know how true this is but I've been looking for conditioners made only for deep conditioning since I read that. Before I thought you could just use any conditioner and sit under the dryer but now I don't know.

Me too. But IMO some cheapie conditioners that are mostly water such as Suave and V05 can never be deep conditioners. Because for me, no matter how long I leave them on it doesn't do any serious conditioning. But that's just my opinion.

I am on the "No heat challenge", so for deep conditioning, I heat up the conditioner itself (Mizani, QP Intense, and a hot oil), in the microwave, slather it on, put a plastic cap on, then wrap a towel around my head. I usually let it sit for an hour, then rinse with cold water.

Mix cheap conditioners with deep conditioners and see how it works.

Now that it's hot in the ATL, ddep conditioning for me is using ORS pack on just washed hair and putting it in a bun. Then I'll go and lounge around outside by the pool and let the heat from the sun bake it in for as long as I can stand it. Then rinse. Oh so yummy and soft!!
