The molecules in Deep Conditioners are smaller and penetrate the Hair Shaft.
Instant Conditioners do not have the correct properities to do this. And primarily work as an Instant Conditioner.
Although many use Doctored Up Instant Conditioning Mixes with Good Success.
I prefer to use products that are meant for Deep Conditioning. That say: Deep Conditioner, Deep Penetrating Conditioner, Intense Conditioner, Hair Masque/Mask etc....
That way I know I'm truly using something meant for DC'ing.
And they often say, "For Best Results use with Heat" or Can be Used with Heat

1. Favorite DC (is it moisture or protein?):
My favorite conditioners: Aubrey Organics: White Camella, Honey Suckle Rose, GPB for protein.
Moisture is my favorite but I alternate between both for DC-ing so I can keep the moisture protein balance up in my hair.
2. Wet or dry hair:
I did on wet hair but I switched to damp or dry hair last year.
3. Heat or no heat: (if with heat do you use a hooded dryer or steamer)
Yes heat makes the DC better and takes less time 15-20 minutes max I use heat cap and every month or so I steam. I never use a hooded dryer for DC cause it's dry heat and I blow dry sometimes when I flat iron so I keep the dry heat controlled.
4. How long do you DC?
15-20 minutes when with heat cap steamer 30-60 min
5. Do you add anything to your DC? What do you add?
Sometimes I add coconut oil over the conditioner on the length and ends but mostly I just use conditioner alone.
6. How often do you DC?
Every 2 weeks at least
7. Are you relaxed, natural, texlaxed...etc?
Natural
*8. Why do you like this conditioner and corresponding method for your hair?
If there are anymore question suggestions, feel free to let me know.
I've switched products a lot over my HHJ but I use Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner for protein DC and I use Aubrey Organics White Camellia or honey suckle rose for moisturizing DC.

What is the difference between protein and moisture DCs? My hair is very dry. Which method should I be doing more of?
Nightingale
On the Grow and Keeping it Simple
I was deep conditioning on damp or dry hair, with a plastic cap, and a heat cap. Worked great. Unfortunately, my heat cap went missing and I've slacked on my DCs ever since.
Note to self: Buy another heat cap!

1. Favorite DC (is it moisture or protein?):
My favorite is AO White Camellia(moisture) but I use AO GPB(moisture/protein balance) more.
2. Wet or dry hair:
DC on wet hair because it is easier to apply, I have less breakage and I use less product.
3. Heat or no heat: (if with heat do you use a hooded dryer or steamer)
I use a heat cap. Tried overnight and steaming but the heat cap works better.
4. How long do you DC?
30 minutes. I get the same results even if I DC longer.
5. Do you add anything to your DC? What do you add?
No. Just use it straight out the bottle.
6. How often do you DC?
Once a week. But will increase it to 2x a week when my hair gets longer.
7. Are you relaxed, natural, texlaxed...etc?
Natural
*8. Why do you like this conditioner and corresponding method for your hair?
If there are anymore question suggestions, feel free to let me know.
I rinse my hair for easier application. I apply my conditioner like a relaxer in small sections. Then I twirl the section in both directions to work the conditioner in. Because my hair is so curly I found this really works the conditioner into my hair.
I like the AO White Camellia because my hair feels really soft and moisturized in just 30 minutes. But I use the AO GPB more because I am trying to work on my moisture/protein balance. My hair prefers thinner conditioners over the thicker ones like AO HSR.

8. Why do you like this conditioner and corresponding method for your hair?
Like I said, I don't use any one particular conditioner. As long as the ingredients sound hair friendly and it smells yummy, I'll use it. My leaving the conditioner on overnight is laziness. I'll rinse my hair out in the morning, and it'll have all day to airdry.

1. Favorite DC (is it moisture or protein?): Aubrey Organics GPB is my favorite--it's for both moisture + protein
2. Wet or dry hair: Dry
3. Heat or no heat: (if with heat do you use a hooded dryer or steamer): Either or, depending on my mood. I use a soft bonnet dryer to apply heat
4. How long do you DC? at least 20 minutes, usually more like an hour due to laziness
5. Do you add anything to your DC? What do you add? Not to GPB. If I'm using some other conditioner I might mix a couple
6. How often do you DC? I pre-poo every week. Sometimes I will also DC after shampooing, it just depends. SOMETHING gets soaked into my hair every week. I also have a protein-based overnight treatment I use often (Fekkai PM Repair Treatment)
7. Are you relaxed, natural, texlaxed...etc? Natural
8. Why do you like this conditioner and corresponding method for your hair? GPB is very nourishing - perfect balance of protein and moisture. I prefer to use it on dry hair and shampoo out because it can be too heavy if I DC with it after shampooing

1. Favorite DC (is it moisture or protein?): I use mostly Breakage Defense Shampoos. My hair/scalp does NOT like moisturizing shampoos and I've never had a need for protein. My favorites are Tresemme Breakage Defense and Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths.
2. Wet or dry hair: I towel dry but by the time I spray my ACV mixture and massage it into my scalp, my hair's wet again.
3. Heat or no heat: I have a heat cap but I rarely use it.
4. How long do you DC? At least 60 minutes, I end up DC-ing longer a lot of times.
5. Do you add anything to your DC? What do you add? Other than my ACV + oils mixture, nothing.
6. How often do you DC? Ever 2 weeks.
7. Are you relaxed, natural, texlaxed...etc? Straightened Natural
*8. Why do you like this conditioner and corresponding method for your hair? Because it's what gets my hair to retain length!

1. Favorite DC (is it moisture or protein?): I'm going to be a bit controversial here and say imho, AO IN is the best AO condish ever! It has protein in, but my hair is softer than butta afterwards so it's moisturising as well.
2. Wet or dry hair: Both, but I prefer on dry hair.
3. Heat or no heat: (if with heat do you use a hooded dryer or steamer) Heat. I use my micro heat turban.
4. How long do you DC? 1 hour
5. Do you add anything to your DC? What do you add? No need to

3. Heat or no heat: rotate between heat and steamer depending on what i am doing or using- always use heat when doing the protein strengthener treatment
4. How long do you DC? 30 under dryer....20 under steamer...at least an hour for pre poo'ing...sometimes overnight if i get lazy
5. Do you add anything to your DC? What do you add? i add ceremide oils
6. How often do you DC? at least every week - sometimes twice if my hair really needs it

See my answers in red:
1. Favorite DC (is it moisture or protein?): ORS replenishing; moisturizing with a tiny bit of protein.
2. Wet or dry hair: Mostly wet
3. Heat or no heat: No heat ( I find this DC works better without heat)
4. How long do you DC? 60-90 mins
5. Do you add anything to your DC? about a teaspoon of clear rinse
6. How often do you DC? every 7-10 days
7. Are you relaxed, natural, texlaxed...etc? Transitioning
*8. Why do you like this conditioner and corresponding method for your hair?I like to give my relaxed ends a light protein treatment every wash so the moisture DC keeps everything balanced. Adding the clear rinse to the DC makes my hair smoother and less prone to tangles, and because I have very porous hair it helps it retain moisture.

The Alter Ego garlic conditioner has been the best conditioner I have used to date. It detangles my hair, moisturizes, and even adds a little strength. In my opinion it doesn't get any better than that!

1. Favorite DC (is it moisture or protein?): light protein: ORS Replenishing Conditioner. I used to alternate between this and Aussie 3 Min Miracle (also really good, no protein), but ORS is sufficient enough for both moisture & protein for my hair.
2. Wet or dry hair: I usually spritz my hair with water so that it's lightly damp (NOT wet!) before I DC. The DC doesn't penetrate enough with wet hair, and it takes too much product to cover all of my thick hair when completely dry.
3. Heat or no heat: (if with heat do you use a hooded dryer or steamer) None, but that's only because I haven't bought a steamer yet!
4. How long do you DC? Usually hours. I don't really count but I'd say at least two.
5. Do you add anything to your DC? What do you add? No, I don't want to mess with the formula or experiment too much.
6. How often do you DC? 1-2x a week
7. Are you relaxed, natural, texlaxed...etc? Relaxed
*8. Why do you like this conditioner and corresponding method for your hair? Like I mentioned, this DC does a great job of providing protein and moisture all at once. My hair is protein sensitive so I am wary about using too much protein, but this DC gives my relaxed hair the strength it needs during my stretched without leaving my hair hard or brittle. My hair just feels soft & stronger simultaneously. See question 2 for my reasoning as to why I choose to DC on *slightly damp* hair.
