I use either Organics Hair Mayo because it stops breakage and makes my hair unbelievably soft or Neutrogena's Deep Recovery Hair Mask which also makes my hair extremely soft. I leave both on for about 30 minutes or longer. I don't use heat with either. Sometimes I'll use one before I wash and one after. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

Deep conditioners should ALWAYS be used with heat. Apply the conditioner, cover hair with a plastic cap, and sit under a hood dryer for 15-20 minutes. You can also sleep in deep conditioner overnight, but I find that my hair doesn't get that "ohmyGAWD" slippery, silky softness without heat. My favorites are Phytospecific Vital Force Creme Bath, Salerm Wheat Germ Oil Mask, Kan Kanechomn Jaborandi Deep Conditioning Cream, and Queen Helene Cholesterol Cream. ------------- "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." |

For some reason using it with heat doesn't do much for my hair unless I add oil. I usually put a plastic cap on with a towel wrapped around and lounge around the house for about half an hour. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

I deep condition with two parts john frieda moisturizer and one part extra virgin olive oil, and i try to use my hooded dryer with it each time (usually 20-30 minutes...but only on the medium or low setting which is enough)... i deep condition once a week, at the v. least once in two weeks, and it works for my hair. i prefer using the hood because it seems my hair retains its softness longer when i use it, and the conditioner actually penetrates the hair shaft. |

I use Mane n Tail Deep Moisturizing conditioner and Africa's Best Hair Mayo. I leave each in for 20 minutes and they make my hair incredibly soft . The mayo is great for stopping breakage. I dont use heat when i condition but instead I just put a plastic cap on my head and cover up with a towel.

I tried the intense moisture conditioner and shampoo. I loved them both. They made my hair slick and easy to comb through which is a plus for me? Tried Fructis?? |
