I keep conditioners in my hair for an hour when I wash it at home, but when I am getting my hair done at the salon it's stays in my hair for about 15-20 minutesWink

When I condition wash, I leave it in about 15-20  minutes. When I deep condition I leave it in for 30 min - hour under the dryer with a plastic cap.

Sakura07 I didn't know it was ok to leave a deep conditioner in your hair over night. I 'm going to try that one day. How did it make your hair feel?

When I deep condition without heat, I leave it on for about an hour, but when I deep condition under a hooded dryer, I stay under there for a bout 30 mins and then rinse.

 I usually wash my hair in the morning, put some conditoner on and go about my day. (especially with it being warm, the sun helps to heat it up)  In the evening, I rinse it out in the shower. My hair feels sooooo soft!
