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 minutes ------------- Arita a.k.a Sexyyella316 |

| 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. |

It stays on for about 45 minutes if I'm being lazy and I don't feel like taking out the heating cap. If I do feel like taking out the HC, It stays on for 60 minutes/ ------------- Hair Type- 4a/b *transitioning front of my head* Length-ranges from 5-7 inches =) Products- Garnier Fructis S & S Poo, Lustrasilk Shea Butter Mango Conditioner and Cantu-Leave in =) |

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? ------------- Arita a.k.a Sexyyella316 |

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. ------------- Jazzy aka Chai Goals: SL, APL, BSL

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! |
