What sort of heat do you use when you deep condition?

[Sarahh.]

1. First of all, do you use always use heat when you deep condition?

2. What sort of heat do you use? (blow dryer, heat cap, hot towels) etc.

3. Do you use a special 'deep conditioner' rather than a normal conditioner?

4. Do you add other things to your deep conditioner?

1. First of all, do you use always use heat when you deep condition?

I always use heat because it opens the hair shaft for the product to penetrate and it would not be a deep conditioner without heat.


2. What sort of heat do you use? (blow dryer, heat cap, hot towels) etc.

I use a bonnet blow dryer. I occasionally put a plastic cap on and wrap a towel around my head to genarate natural heat when I have already deep conditioned that week with heat.

3. Do you use a special 'deep conditioner' rather than a normal conditioner?

Always, I use protein or moisturizing deep conditioner.

4. Do you add other things to your deep conditioner?

Never

My answers in burgandy and great thread.

Yes, always

2. What sort of heat do you use? (blow dryer, heat cap, hot towels) etc.
Steam, it is the best way to deep condition imo

3. Do you use a special 'deep conditioner' rather than a normal conditioner?

I use intensive conditioners - they are the only conditioners I own

4. Do you add other things to your deep conditioner?

Not really, but I have sometimes added drops of oil, meadowfoam seed oil and strawberry seed oil, the latter gives the hair a lovely fragrance

Special DC's Right now I love pumpkin puree.Most regular con's are too watery and don't penetrate enough for me.

Nope.As much as I spend on DC's it better come with everything I need already mixed in.

I sit under my hooded dryer or my Space Lady bonnet dryer. I think my deep conditions are better with the space lady dryer for some reason. It seems to disperse the heat better and my hair benefits more from it. I also get to walk around while it is on.

1. First of all, do you use always use heat when you deep condition? 95% of the time i do.

2. What sort of heat do you use? (blow dryer, heat cap, hot towels) etc.
i sit under my hooded dryer mostly; other times i will put on my foil cap for a few hours while i do other things.

3. Do you use a special 'deep conditioner' rather than a normal conditioner?
i typically use deep conditioners, but once in a blue moon will doctor up a "normal" conditioner (like Aubrey Organics HSR or Keracare Humecto)

4. Do you add other things to your deep conditioner?

i add other things about 50% of the time; honey, oils, aloe vera gel/juice...

Not to hijack, but is the Space Lady dryer cordless? And if so, where can I find one? I just googled the term but no results

I think she may be talking about this one....

LOL, we've all gotten a kick out of it. It's by gold n' hot. It's their soft bonnet dryer.

I use heat as well, 20-30 mins, with a shower cap and a soft bonnet attachment piece onto my hand held dryer.

I use a conditioner specifically for deep conditioning, and I usually don't add anything to it.

 

[HoneyDew]

Yep! I love that thing!!!!!!!!!

Girl, the space lady dryer is the term we use here. It does have a cord.
I have mine on an extension cord, so I can clean the kitchen, fold laundry, straighten up my room, whatever. I can even chill out on the couch or bed and read. Love it.

I just prefer that people not see me with it on.
