Well I get it deep conditioned at the Dominican salon, and they usually set the drier for fifteen minutes. I dont know if thats standard, or a bit shorter.......

since i don't have a head dryer at home, i deep condition longer. usually 30 - 60 minutes, depending whats on tv. plastic cap, warm towel.

i have on occasion deep con'd for longer. i use a set it and forget it attitude and just rinse it whenever. no longer than 2 hours, though. it probably stopped working the hour before anyway.

 

[Vshanell]

Usually 20 minutes under the dryer. I think this is a sufficient amount of time for the conditioner to penetrate.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

between 20-30 minutes. I think this is sufficent enough.

 

[Shaniquah]

30-60 minutes with a hot, hot towel covered with a plastic cap.

 

[Catina72]

1 hour exactly. I wear a plastic bag without any heat.

 

[JazzyDez]

20-25 mins under warm dryer. If I am not under the drier maybe an hour with plastic cap.

 

[EMJazzy]

I deep condition for approximately an hour with a plastic cap...if I'm busy doing something around the house then it's on my head a bit longer.

 

[gorgeoushair]

I usually deep condition for 15-30 min with heat; without about 45 min to 1 hr.

 

[kbody4]

I deep condition for 15-20 minutes.

 

[vikkisecret]

I usually deep condition for at least 45min to an hour with the heating cap. My hair needs it.

 

[SerenityBreeze]

I DC for 45 - 60 under a dryer. I used to do it every week..now I am trying to reduce the amount of deep conditioning because I think I have overconditioned my hair.

 

[Isis]

30 minutes, sometimes a little longer like 45 minutes and always with a plastic cap.

It depends on how long I feel like sitting under the dryer for. I have a soft bonnet dryer and all though it leaves me more "mobile" sometimes I am just too anxious or not in the mood to sit that long. So I guess my time fluctuates between 15-40 minutes. I deep condition about once per week.

[LadyJay114]

20-30 mins w/ a plastic cap

i tried the heat method and it just didnt work for me

 

[MizaniMami]

I deep condition no more than 30 minutes but no less than 15. I also noticed the hotter the heat of my heating cap or hooded dryer the softer my hair comes out.

 

[tenderheaded]

I deep con for 1 hr without heat and 15-30 min with heat.

 

[Legend]

With heat: 30 minutes
Without heat: Until....... Sometimes I leave it in my hair for hours if I'm busy......or watching an interesting movie...or two. I've even left it in overnight on several occasions to no ill effect. But I always use a cap.

 

[A_Christian]

I usually deep condition my hair for 45 minutes to an hour. I sometimes leave the conditioner on for a couple of hours if I feel that my hair needs an intensive moisture or protein treatment.

 

[LABETT]

I deep conditioned for 45 min with heating cap with moisturizing conditioners and 20 minutes hood dryer for protein treatments.

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

60+ mins w/a plastic cap no heat.

 

[londa70]

I deep condition 15-20 minutes with heat. On lazy days I'll wash my hair and deep condition before actually showering. I'll let it sit/marinate as I finish my shower. So that's 10-20 minutes without heat. I read some where that a product only works for so long away. Not sure how true this is though.

 

[ChocoKitty]

I chose 40-60 mins on the poll. However. I usually deep condtion over night or a day depending on what type of activities I have going on. I rarely use a heating cap.

 

[caribeandiva]

i always use my bonnet dryer to deep condition. i usually do it for 15 or 20 minutes depending on how much free time i have. if i really have to run, i do it on a higher setting for 5 minutes. works just the same.

 

[so1913]

Anywhere from 30 min to 1hr....

but I haven't been doing it as often as I should

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Once a week for either about an hour or sometimes (rarely like every 2-3 mos) overnight.
