I don't believe all deep conditioners have the same ingredient....no more than shampoos. Having a particular ingredient will not make something a deep conditioner.
Not ALL conditioners can DEEP condition!!

I have found that CW with VO5 works best… THEN take a smaller amount of deep condish and let it set in detangled freash CW hair. at first I did try the deep condish with VO5 and it wasn’t bad but by using an actual deep condish I can see a difference.
This provides the best results for me.

I'm at a complete loss
cause I use LeKair Cholesterol too!! always used it as my deep conditioner... for 45mins-1hr? o dear...erplexed I always wanted to try Elasta DPR 11 or NTM... tho. I'll have to compare the difference in the way my hair feels.

Lekair Cholesterol is one of the deep conditioners listed in the original link. I love Lekair. Anyway, it is a little confusing, because a lot of those conditioners listed like NTM and Herbal Essences etc, say to leave on for a few minutes. I know my NTM DDC says something about a "one minute rinse" on the tube.

This sounds so good. Tonight, I'm doing this. I put some Aubrey's GPB on my dry hair and mixed some Queen Helene Super Cholesterol on top of it and mixed them all together with Aceite 3 oil. I love being a mad scientist when it comes to conditioning. Muahahahahaaa....

My jar of Queen Helene Cholesterol says to leave it on for 15-30 minutes. I think that qualifies it as a deep conditioner.

The instructions on the tub of Humecto says to leave it on for 15-20 minutes with a plastic cap. I use it every week as a deep conditioner.

OK - I BEEN KNEW ABOUT THIS BUT WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT NEXXUSS HUMECTRESS WAS CONSIDERED A DEEP CO. AND I WAS CO-WASHING WITH THAT STUFF LIKE TWICE A WEEK IN THE SUMMER. THEREFORE CONTRIBUTING TO ME OVERCONDITIONING.

I use Lekair & Lustrasilk Cholesterol Conditioners, I've always considered them to be a deep conditioners, and I still do. I always leave it in for at least 60 mins or longer.

thanks for reminding... and I had to be reminded of this when I was made aware of the differences btwn the two when I was reading Cathy Howse's book. When I use my deep conditioner that she markets it was specifically made for that purpose(with heat!!) I sit under the dryer for 20-30 minutes. It has made a world of difference!! I still use a moisturizing rinse out conditioner afterwards for slip(especially post relaxer 12wks)... since her deep conditioner has protein. But when I was exclusively using instant cond.'s or rinse out only.. my shafts were silky then turned frizzy.. so I am glad that I found a deep cond. that works for me

Now what if you deep conditon first (lustersilk & organics hair mayo) wash then condition with a rinse out conditioner. Do you still get the benefits of the deep conditioning treatment? Or should they be excuted in the other order.

i have been trying to find out if Aveda Brilliant is an instant or deep conditioner. Does anyone know? the bottle does not state how long to leave on and i'm very curious about that.
oops...i just went on their site and found this:
Quenches your hair's thirst and sets tangles free, even in the most textured hair. Plant emollients restore hair so it looks smooth and shiny. Excellent detangler makes hair feel soft and silky.
• Hydrates
• Conditions
• Detangles
After shampooing with BrilliantTM Shampoo, apply a small amount of BrilliantTM Conditioner to wet hair and work through to ends. Leave on 3-5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and proceed to style.

It does for me. I don't agree that regular conditioner can't deep condition. Just because it says to rinse does not mean that it cannot be a deep conditioner.
For example, Aphogee Keratin Reconstructor used to say leave it on for 2 min and rinse. On many occasions I have used it as a deep conditioner and it works MUCH better.
On the other hand Motions Moisture Plus says that you can sit under the dryer as a deep condition with it. For me, it just is not enough on its own. Sometimes, yes, but it is not hardly enough to deal with all my moisture/protein needs exclusively no matter how long I sit under the dryer.
It's all about the ingredients and I know the ones to look for in my conditioners that will give me great effects while sitting under the dryer.
(NOTE: Aveda Black Malva Users - try it under the dryer for 20 min
