How Often Do You Deep Condition?

[MoniintheMiddle]

Every 2 weeks....when I wash my hair.

 

[MummysGirl]

Not sure if I have posted here... 2ce a week. My hair loves it!

 

[StarFish106]

Every time I shampoo which is weekly. It definitely has helped with my winter breakage issue I used to have for years.

I have not been deep conditioning as much as I used to. I used to with every wash 1-2 times a week.

I was over conditioning, when I combine that with my Qhemet moisturizing. That stuff alone is deep conditioning.

So I would say I do it once a month or so. I tend to do it after my henna treatments which are once every 4 weeks.

In between those times, I just use a rich, high quality conditioner that I let sit on for 3-5 min in the shower and then rinse.

That has not only worked for me, but my hair likes it better than deep conditioning so much.

 

[LongCurlz]

2-3 times a week with AO GPB or Honeysucklerose

Every time i wash my hair, .........which is 2-3 times a week.
But i might cut it down to maybe just once a week.

 

[Smartlady1972]

I dc every other week, bcuz to much protein can dry the hair out.

 

[Candycat02]

Since joining the LHCF I've begun trying to deep condition weekly. Before that it was as I felt like it (rarely, if ever). I definetly can tell my hair is thanking me for it now, its a lot healthier.

 

[mahogany_horizons]

I voted every week but actually D/C TWICE a week, one with heat!

 

[lipyt]

never lol
I wash my hair with shampoo once a week. Put the conditioner in, detangle, braid my hair with the conditioner and pin it up. Then I wash my body. Once I'm done washing, I wash the conditioner out.

I would love to be able to go back to doing it every other day, when time permitted.

However, time does not permit. So I most consistently deep condition my hair about 1-2 times per week, alternating products, heat, and methods as my hair requires.

 

[Butterfly08]

I'm so bad about this! I think it's because I cowash and leave in full strength conditioner as my leave in, so I feel it's unnecessary.

I just started doing it once a week for 30 min with heat. I hope I can keep it up.

 

[La Colocha]

Once a week after i wash my hair.

 

[ResultsMayVary]

eh *scratches head*
.. not as often as I should, I need to do this every week, but now its once a month erplexed

 

[MilaXs3]

I DC 2xs a week

 

[Pandora1975]

Once a week right now. Twice when my hair feels very rough. Once I find a good DC maybe I can level off.

 

[chebaby]

i deep condition overnight almost every other day or at leat 2-3 times a week.

 

[SweetSpirit86]

Oh no! What are you using love? Have you tried mixing? Have you tried adding stuff to it (I looooove avocado oil)? Let us help you!

 

[Nice Lady]

I deep condition at least 3x a week but if I am busy then it cuts down to 2x a week. I deep condition with each wash or co-wash.

 

[trendsetta25]

before and after i shampoo.

 

[MsEllie]

I deep condition once a week

 

[gitana0801]

Once or twice a week... depends on how it feels, but definitely once a week.

 

[Lovie]

I dc whenever I think of it but looking all of your pretty hair and how often you dc I'll be doing it at least once a week. SOMEONE HELP ME....HOW LONG SHOULD I LEAVE IT IN IF I'M USING HEAT? I usually only do 10min but, I think I'll aim for longer. Also, what is OCT and MTG?

You really have to learn which timing is best for your hair. Why not do a check at 15 min? I have DC'd with heat anywhere from 15 min to an hour. You should be able to tell after rinsing if your hair feels softer, stronger, or still the same. Sometimes you can tell before rinsing over time.

OCT = Ovation Cell Therapy

MTG = Mane-Tail & Groom

Both are typically used as hair growth aides. If you do a LHCF thread search you will find zillions of posts about both.

 

[beans4reezy]

Once a week, faithfully.

 

[Truth]

Once a week

 

[dcprdiva]

At minimum once a week.

 

[Luscious Locks]

Minimum once a week. If I'm lucky and I have some extra time I'll do twice a week. No more than that though. I alternate several conditioners though. I'm trying to find my staples.

 

[Sugar]

Everytime I wash my hair, which is every 3-5 days.

 

[Neith]

2x a week
