Hi Honeyhips,
You don't have to deep condition everyday, but a couple of times a week would be great if you can manage it. You want to consider a conditioner that will strengthen and moisturize your hair. Please try ORS Hair Mayonnaise if you haven't done so already. It will give your hair strength and soften it. It's really great. You can use this conditioner just once a week and get great results. I know some of the other ladies here can recommend some of their favorite deep conditioning products to you as well. Good Luck! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

What is a 'Conditioner'?
The term "conditioner" is vague. Conditioners fall into different groups according to what you want to accomplish with your hair. People with thin hair need a specific kind of "conditioner", people with thick, dry hair need another...
Here's the rundown, according to Bridal Hairstyles Magazine:
Creme Rinse: One of the first commercial conditioners, these pearly lotions use alum salts to temporarily relax and soften the hair strand. They are wonderful for coarse, bushy hair texture, but are not helpful for thin, brittle or damaged hair. Stir a tablespoon into a cup of water after a shampoo, then rinse out thoroughly. If hair has a tendency to be wiry, combine two tablespoons of creme rinse to two tablespoons of hot water.
Instant Conditioners: Composed primarily of waxes and proteins, these products are applied to freshly washed hair and left on for no more than two minutes, then rinsed off. These products coat the hair shaft with a protein/polymer filk that adds shine and flexibility. They can also help prevent problems in hair that is styled with a hair dryer.
Deep conditioners: Rich in proteins and oils, these thick, creamy conditioners remain on the head for 30 to 40 minutes, usually under a heat cap. They are designed for hair showing signs of damage from coloring, waving, straightening or blow-drying. They provide protein and moisture to restore strength, flexibility and shine. They should be used on a regular schedule, a week after chemically treating your hai. They are helpful to all hair types and textures that are subjected to processing.
Hot Oil Conditioners: Clear formulations of oil and water, these are heated slightly, then worked through the hair. They are wonderful for naturally dry hair, which seems to get drier between shampoos. Dryness due to processing is best handled by deep conditioners.
Leave-in Conditioners: Depending on the formulation, these products add body, restore shine or smooth split ends. They are particularly helpful for frizzy or heat-damaged hair
