I was wondering the same thing because I dc with it too but I don't think it is one. I have to make sure to keep up with my real deep conditioners just to be on the safe side.
 
I agree. I can see a diffrence when I attempted to deep condition with Suave instead of Keracare or Kenra. My hair does not have the same slip and my ends feel dry after rinsing.

Thanks for the tip. I was under the impression that I could use any conditioner for a deep conditioning treatment. I am constantly learning new things from this site.

I thought the same thing until I tried NTM as a deep conditioner. Needless to say, the results were not the same as using it as an instant conditioner. It wasn't until then I realized not all conditioners can be used as deep conditioners.

I am glad that I used it as an instant conditioner the first time. If I hadn't, I would have thought the stuff was no good.
 
Well I guess I am changing my regimen again, but is all good to me 'cause now I do not have to deep condition every week, I will do it every other week or monthly. A lot of the great conditioners don't need heat/cap so, if I am gonna have the same results anyways with it why bother!

This is a great thread, I already ordered 4 DC "the real thing":look: , so let's see how my hair will react:D
 
Just like a few others, I learned more about deep conditioning after reading Cathy Howse's book. I do use her deep conditioner exclusively but I have others. I noticed that the list in the link contains a few instant conditioners though. For example, I use Kenra's conditioner as my main moisturizing conditioner but I consider it an instant conditioner even though I may leave it on for more than five minutes. The directions do not say anything about leaving it on for a certain amount of time or using it with heat (just apply after shampoo and "rinse thoroughly" :perplexed).

Thank you very much Destiny :) I've been looking for the ingredients but couldn't find anything online.

It definitely seems to be a protein conditioner sine there's silk protein high on the list. I'm going to try this one :D

I have noticed some ladies refer to deep conditioning their hair simply by putting a regular conditioner on their hair and letting it sit for a while. Some conditioners will NEVER DEEP CONDITION your hair no matter how LONG you leave it!

Regular conditioners just work on the surface of your hair shaft --they do not penetrate it. Deep conditioners penetrate the hair shaft to provide conditioning from within. Letting a regular conditioner just sit on your hair will NEVER DEEP CONDITION your hair!

Think of this analogy: conditioner is to rinse/cellophane/henna as
deep conditioner is to permanent color/highlights.
A rinse will not permanently color your hair no matter how long you leave it on your head.

Make sure you are applying a DEEP conditioner when you want to DEEP CONDITION!

I totally agree...i always check to make sure it says leave on for 15 minutes or more!!!
 
I just think that it depends on the person. Me personally, I can't just use any old conditioner in my hair to DC it. It doesn't really improve it and over time my hair gets brittle from lack of protein. But I do know some ladies with long hair (like Yasjencon on youtube) who use plain old conditioner to DC and have grown their hair long and it still looks healthy. I guess you just have to be aware of your hair's needs.

IMO her hair is healthy, but she does absolutely nothing to it. I think every vid I've seen of her's she's got that rag on her head. "Benign neglect" is what they call it over at LHC :lol: Regular old conditioner can work if you always keep your hair in a "bubble" world :look:

**This is not me "hating" or any of those other idiosyncracies, I'm just simply making an observation.**

That is all :)
