How long Do you Deep condition your hair

[sassyhair]

without heat- hours, sometimes overnight
with heat-thirty mins

My hair is severely dry at times, so I deep condition for at least an hour. Most times, though, I deep condition for two and half. It does not hurt to do this. My hair is so soft afterwards.

I deep conditon 2x per week for 30 minutes. I do 15 mins with ORS hair mayonaise then rinse and apply keracare humecto for 15 mins.

I deep condition without heat every weekend. On the rare occasion I'd use my heating cap.
Today I think I am going to do my deep condition while I sit in the steam room at the gym, I've never done that before, but I think it might be a great way to look forward to working out each weekend.

A few hours usually.

I usually deep condition while getting on with other tasks, and wash out the conditioner when I can be bothered to.

Wow that sounds like a good idea!

About 15 minutes with a cap on under my soft-bonnet dryer.

 

[babyblue]

usually 30-60 minutes with a plastic cap with no heat. if im in a rush i'll go for 15-20.

 

[sylver2]

really depends. Sometimes overnight in plastic cap if hair seems dry.
Sometimes 20 minutes under hot dryer.
Most of the time 5 minutes in hot steaming shower

I deep condition overnight with ORS hair mayo.

That sounds like a wonderful idea, thanks! Let us know if you try it!

i voted 30 mins,more just seems to leave a coating on my hair

 

[Cinnabuns]

I choose one hour but I leave it on for much longer than that if I'm at home just doing nothing.

 

[FineChyna]

30 mins without heat since i don't own a large dryer

 

[KhandiB]

between 15 and 45 minutes depending on what Im using.. sometimes with heat sometimes without..

Im so inconsistent

 

[curlilocs]

I deep treat for 15-30 with heat.

 

[simplycee]

I deep con every week with heat for 20-30 mins. Lately I have been using Macherieamour's method (ORS Mao + steaming towel + plastic cap)and counting that as my deep con.

 

[Proudpiscean]

I voted 30 minutes (with or without heat) I always use a plastic cap

 

[sugaplum]

60 mintues covered with a plastic cap.

Interesting - I deep treat every weekend for at least 2-3 hours, sometimes overnight if I don't feel like getting in the shower before bed. Leaving conditioner on for 15-20 minutes jsut gets my hair soft enough to comb through without ripping it out - if I want it to stay moisturized for a whole week (even with daily leave-ins) I HAVE to condition it for at least 2hours - and I've noticed the longer, the better.

It might be because I put honey in my conditioner, and that doesn't have an 'expiry' time......

 

[B_Phlyy]

I deep condition for 15 minutes with a heating cap 3 times with 5 minute intervals in between. So it adds up to an hour.

 

[Peachtree]

Lately I've been deep conditioning overnight

Most times about 30 mins

Anything over 30 mins is simply cuz I'm being too lazy to rinse it out

 

[MzOptimistic]

30 minutes with heat is enough...I think anything longer is overconditioning...especially if you are using heat...

 

[hondahoney007]

When I go to the dominican salon they sit me under the dryer for approx 15-20mins.

 

[amy1234]

30 min. under a heating cap every 2 weeks

 

[ladybug71]

Between 30 - 60 minutes.

 

[Ayeshia]

15-20 minutes with heat

 

[pink_n_green_iz_me]

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.

How do you know when you have over conditioned your hair?

 

[sareca]

I'm counting pre-poo time, but I said 40-60 minutes.
