I heard somewhere, that using a heating cap is better for your hair. i dont know if this has negative effects. I have been doing this for about 6 months, and my hair condtion has improved vs when I did not use heat at all to Deep Condition. Is there something that I dont know??
Is using a hooded dryer to Deep Condition, bad for ur hair??

ITA! I notice a big difference when I use my hooded dryer to dc than when I just sleep in the conditioner (w/o heat). It shouldn't dmamge your hair because it's not really blwoing on your hair-it's heating the conditioner on your hair under a plastic cap.Miosy said:Some conditoners penetrate better with heat

no its good idea. the heat from the dryer opens the hair cuticle allowing the conditioner to penetrate. when you rinse the conditioner out rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle.

My hair does not like dryer heat when doing a deep conditioning. I found that my hair was feeling dry and not as moisturized as I felt it should.
Instead, I use a heat cap for a minimum of an hour over a regular plastic bag. My hair comes out of the cap feeling wet and moisturized (I DT on dry hair). I then rinse initially with very warm water, followed by cool/cold to seal the cuticle. I detangle after the cool/cold water rinse.

Hey lonei, How long do you steam your hair for, does the condtioner get warm in ur hair, do u feel that it still has slip, cause I did a steaming treatment at a salon, and I felt that the conditioner did not quite work as well, maybe I was wrong though, maybe I should look into buyig a portable steamer.
thanks
thanks
