What's the longest you've deep conditioned?

[Ronnieaj]

Okay, so I voted 30-45 minutes and promptly broke it yesterday! I did my aphogee treatment and put my DC in, with steam, for 30 minutes. I could've washed, but just decided to leave it in for another 75 minutes while I ate and played on the boards. The only time I get back in the shower is to rinse out aphogee, otherwise I just stick my head over the tub and rinse. If I don't get all the conditioner out, my hair doesn't mind.

A whole weekend. But it was a mixture of Aubrey Organics and a protein treatment. My hair felt great afterwards.

I usually just DC overnight. but one Friday night when I put it on I wasn't feeling the best so I put some hair mayo in took so nyquil and figured I'd feel better and rinse it in the morning as usual but when I woke up I felt like booty. I DC'd the whole weekend until monday morning when I HAD to rinse it out for work that morning.

Mines was 24 hrs, I had Irish Moss in my hair, so I wanted the full benefits of it.

 

[it_comes_naturally]

Probably 4hrs. For some reason, I get sleepy when I put my heating cap on. So I usually just take a nap after I put it on.

 

[Superfly Sister]

12 hours I think....

 

[melodies815]

I did an overnight condition for the first time last weekend. I might do it again for how great my hair felt when twisting, but sleeping in the saran-wrapped head covering was too much for me...I think I'll stick to a couple of hours...

I've DC'd overnight before, so I'm guessing that's about 5-10 hours. I remember watching seeing an interview or a video with the model Jordan Richardson in it, and she said she DC's the entire week. I saw it on youtube. I have to re-watch that video. I remember being in disbelief and wondering how one can deep condition for an entire week, but I guess it's possible.

I do this too. I just leave my conditioner in sometimes, especially if I'm hiding my hair w/a half wig or putting in a wet bun. I don't rinse out for over a week or until I rinse or CW next. It doesn't harm my hair, just keeps it moist.

Between 24 and 48 hours weekly.

 

[Ganjababy]

Overnight...................

 

[natura87]

2 days...I was lazy and forgot it was up there.

 

[CaliDiamond]

Overnight..sooo..I guess 7 or 8 hours. Any longer than that and my hair is pure mush.

 

[Tif392002]

one time i left mines on for about 36 hours. big mistake for my hair... my hair so mushy afterwards, i corrected it with a light protien trmnt... but ever since that, no longer than 15-20 mins.

 

[Diva_Esq]

Overnight to actually "condition" my hair with saran wrap, etc.

I usually have some form of conditioner in my hair at all times, especially when wet bunning.

 

[ladylibra_30]

I picked 5-10 hours...

I do follow that directions for deep conditioning/pre poo with coconut oil and it says to leave on for 8-10 hours.

 

[Bnster]

On purpose I DC overnight and washed out in the morning. I voted 10-15hrs. I done this twice learning from the ladies on the board. I applied it on dry hair but of course adding the conditioner makes it wet. I don't really like sleeping on wet hair, but I think it works. So I will do it again another time.

 

[naturalepiphany]

The longest I've ever DC would have to be a week so I voted 48+. Sometimes I do this a lot especially if I'm constantly braiding my hair. I'll leave my deep conditioner in while I braid my hair and because I do my own individuals/micro braids it takes me a couple days. I always say I'll rinse my braids when I'm done, but I get lazy after doing all that work and I end up waiting a week before I touch my hair again.

 

[ksimmi82]

24 hours…because I was truly LAZY…although I hate sleeping with conditioner in my hair…that means…plastic cap, with paper towel around the edges…then a head scarf tied as tight as possible…and I STILL wake up with conditioner crust on the sides of my face and pillow!!

 

[JerriBlank]

About six consecutive days three weeks ago with L'occitane's repair and shine masque.I just kept reapplying the deep conditioner everyday under the pocessing caps. My natural hair neeeded that. I think it may have been the only time I have seen zero broken hairs in my comb. I will be doing something like that again next week.

 

[Toy]

The longest i ever conditioned for was 1-2 hours.

 

[TLC1020]

Overnight.. Was tired and fell asleep on the couch..

 

[gn1g]

I put some GF deep con tx on my hair about 3 days ago and since then I flat ironed it look: not sure what will happen when I rinse it but it can't be that bad . . . can it.

 

[doobiequeen88]

overnight, about 8-9 hours after i took out some braids

 

[LovinLea]

overnight

i was on a regimen of nightly overnight conditioning and then cowashing in the morning. dry Dry hair after my BC

 

[babayred_86]

pssh probably 2 hrs at the most I'd get sick if I left my head wet to long

 

[poookie]

two days

didn't feel like getting back in the shower & rinsing out!

i've noticed though that my hair never got mushy. i DC'd with a moisturizing conditioner (AO White Camellia) & my hair felt fab. i noticed that the further along in my transition i go, the more moisture i need.

 

[Truth]

5-10 for me only cause I was sleep

Me too, I never have a problem with mushy hair.

24 hrs. and it was really hard to sleep soundly that night. However, my hair was detangled and so soft.
