What is the purpose of deep conditioning?

What is the desired outcome? Also, what deep conditioner do you think is the best and why (especially if you have fine/thin hair)?

For me moisture. I don't deep condition with reconstructors generally - only if needed.

I like them for moisture and softness.

I like Motions moisture plus conditioner under the dryer. It rinses out well and leaves my hair feeling soft.

I have thick 4a/b hair.

My hair is noticeably softer and requires less moisturizer during the week (which saves me money) when I deep condition. I like Silk Elements Megamoisturizing Treatment and I like Lekair Cholesterol, Oh and my new cheapie fav is Suave Humectant Conditioner.

Def. for moisturizer. I use the shea butter lutrasilk or the herbal one. I also use any of of my cheapie conditioners like suave. Comb through and put on a shower cap and leave them on for a while. My hair comes out moisturized and shiny.

I always thought deep conditioners were for moisture. I enjoy using Aubrey Organics GPB for deep conditionings. I don't use heat. I just smack on a plastic cap.

 

[Softresses]

I like them because they moisturize, and they also enhance the softness and elasticity of hair.

I also usually deep condition to add moisture. Whatever conditioner I have lying around I use with my heat cap to make it a deep conditioner.

Deep conditioning for me is for both strength and moisture depending on the type of conditioner I use. I fixed every problem Ive had from dry hair, to breakage by deep conditioning.
