DEEP CONDITIONING can be your hair's friend or its enemy. Although conditioning is a very important part of our hair care regimen, some women believe the longer they leave the conditioner in the better. Meet me at the water cooler, because I have some news for you!
According to hair care experts leaving conditioner in hair for long periods of time, or overnight is extremely unnecessary. Hair hair is weaker and more fragile when saturated in deep conditioner, especially water based conditioners. If left in hair overnight, a person is more than likely going to move around a lot, turning their head a number of times. This may cause a lot of rubbing and hair strands may be pulled in the process, which may end in broken or weakened hair strands. This can cause hair to shed or break over a length of time.
I would suggest that you deep condition your hair once a week after every shampoo. Once you have a pretty solid routine down for your hair care, you may increase or decrease how often you deep condition based on what your hair needs and on your lifestyle.
