Deep Conditioning SOS~ Please help/ advise

[teacherjess]

Hi Ladies,
Today is wash day and wouldn't you know it, my trusty hooded dryer I've had since college broke as I was taking it out of the closet... I am sitting here w/ deep conditioner saturated all over my head...Deep conditioning w/heat is a staple in my weekly regimen and I am so upset because I can't afford to buy a new dryer until the end of January til I get paid again...I'm so upset

What I"m asking is in the meantime, would it be alright if I just put on a shower cap, a towel on top of that, and let the conditioner sit in my hair for an hour or more? I don't want a setback just because I can't run out and buy a dryer right away! Please help me hang on for a month. TIA, ladies!

Yes, that would be fine.

when my heat cap broke i used a plastic bag and a hot towel wrapped around it. left that on for two hours or slept in it over night. my heat cap was only 15dollars. works better than a dryer becuase no heat is blowing on your face. so try the hot towel method.

I don't think you'll have a setback from not DCing with heat. Just letting it sit with the shower cap and towel should be enough for it to penetrate fully.

In the past, I have also taken a hot towel and wrapped it around my shower-capped hair with no problem. You're good with or without the towel.

You're good with just the hot towel. Sometimes I saran wrap my hair real tight, and put one of those metallic conditioning caps over that. The natural body heat from the scalp and head will warm up your conditioning treatment real nice for ya!!!

I actually just got a hooded dryer for Christmas so before I got it that's how I would DC and I had no problems at all. The hot towel is an added plus BUT your body heat + the shower cap + 1 hour does an equal job, IMO.

cover hair in plastic cap put damp turbie towel in microwave then wrap around head. you can heat it up about 2 or three times in that hour and will be just fine

Sometimes when I don't have time to sit under the dryer AND exercise, I put in my condish, cover with a plastic cap and my Turbie Twist and then I . My own body heat makes for a nice lil sauna and I've killed two birds with one stone.:210:
