How often are you deep conditioning?

[Armyqt]

I'd like to know how often everyone is doing this. I have to say that I'm slacking in a MAJOR way in this area. I couldn't even tell you the last time I've deep conditioned. I know it was sometime in the summer of 2003. I know I need to get back at it, because my hair is looking kinda dull and I think that may be the culprit. I used to faithfully deep condition 2x a week. Since that time I've seriously simplified my routine. But maybe it's too simple. I'm gonna start back deep conditioning once a week. How about you guys?

 

[Mija]

every time I shampoo

 

[balleryna]

Yes me too. I deep cond once a week but I do it for 2 days in a row. My hair is rather fine but thick so I do it again that 2nd day for kindof insurance I guess you can say.

 

[honey_jammz82]

I try to at least once a week, I have been doing it twice a week lately though, because I love the results, and I am trying to prevent color damage.

 

[Lindy]

I deep condition every week, with heat (electric heating cap for 20-30 mins.)

I even do my creamy protein with heat too.

 

[Miosy]

2x a week for a hour or more w/o heat.

 

[moneychaser]

Every week, 15 min.

 

[cutebajangirl]

2x a week with heat for about 1/2 hour. Although, last night I seriouslyu contemplated not using any conditioner to see how it would turn out.

I went through a good 2 month period of just doing conditioner washes without deep conditioning which although convenient I grew to hate. Now, as of 2 weeks back, I'm deep conditioning a good 2 times a week. Just did one last night for 30 mins with Kenra

I've noticed my hair thrives better and looks better when I stick with the twice weekly deep conditioning instead of daily conditioner washes.

I used Elasta QP creme conditioning shampoo and really like how soft my hair felt afterwards so I didn't want to condition. My hair felt worse after conditioning anyway. I used Dudley's hair mask.

 

[SingingStar12]

Once a week, after each shampoo.

 

[Allandra]

On average, once a week (without heat though).

 

[katie]

Once a week,sometimes with heat ..sometimes without

 

[Armyqt]

Thanks everyone. I'm seriously slacking here. I plan to deep conditioning on Friday and weekly thereafter.

Faithfully once a week.

I also started back with my hot oil treatments. I haven't been doing them like I used to

 

[pooh123]

Hi Army,

I deep condition at least once per week for 10-15 minutes.

[Faith]

1x/week...I'm getting lazy about it so I do it with no heat, just with a plastic cap on for about 30-60min. I may go back to using heat for 30min.

 

[Ayeshia]

once a week with ORS

 

[ChocoKitty]

Every time I shampoo--at least 1 a week.

 

[missykeyana]

Every time I shampoo -- once a week.

I don't know where I got this tip from, but whoever suggested warming the conditioner, thank you because that is DA BOMB!!!!

 

[SoniT]

I deep condition once a week for 15-20 minutes with a plastic cap and warm towel wrapped around my head.

 

[licutiexx]

Usually 1x a week for about an hour with a plastic cap

1x or 2x a week without heat (plastic cap) for about 45-60 minutes.
