Deep conditioning with heat, how long is enough?

[NYDee]

10mins, 20mins, 30mins, 40mins, an hour, in order to get the ultimate benefit?

I've found that 20 mins is enough for me

I DC-ed with heat for the first time yesterday for 35 minutes. Before, I DC-ed for at least 60 minutes to get the same effects. I have a lot of hair though.

15-20 is usually sufficient for me.

I have found that it varies with the conditioner I am using. I have used Kenra MC and it seemed to work better the longer it sat on my hair. However, I use TW herbal conditioner and I can get great results in 20 minutes.

I also use Kenra and I must DC for at least 30 mins (w/ heat) to get great results . I normally DC overnight though

I like to do at least 30 mins of dcing w/ heat but I have gone as far as 1 hour w/ heat.

I used to dc for an hour under the dryer, but have come to find that 45 minutes will give the same results.

20 minutes. I'll do it for an hour if I'm being lazy and don't feel like washing it out right away also....

Anywhere between 30mins-1hr with heat. For me the 30mins is the minimum.

I dc for about 45 min to an hour. I read in a book somewhere you apply conditioner and sit under the dryer for about 15-30 min, then go apply more conditioner to your hair and sit under the dryer again for about 15-30 min. Ive found this method to be very effective in improving the softness of my hair. Heat timing may also depend on the type of conditioner you use as well. I only use ntm and nexxus humectress and I don't have good results when I don't use any heat or use minimal amounts of heat with these products.

I agree. Pantene gets my hair the softest with Tresemme as a close second, and I only need to DC for an hour, or 30-45 minutes with heat. But when I use Garnier Fructis, it takes longer to get the same effect.

I can barely stand 20 minutes under the dryer because the heat is unbearable.
