I see that alot of ladies deep condition on dry hair and i was considering trying also. I was wondering when you do deep condition on dry hair do you still use a plastic cap and get under the dryer?

When I DC on dry hair I do it all the ways I would when I do them wet. Sometimes I DC on dry hair with a plastic cap on when I exercise (you should see the steam created from a hot workout under the plastic cap), I sometimes do so while I'm watching TV, cleaning up the house and sometimes when I don't have much time to do a full wash and wet DC, but I also go under the dryer sometimes too. There are no "one" special way I do it and they all work pretty well

I really like the results of deep conditioning on dry hair, but sometimes I need to make sure I have no or little product buildup;otherwise, the conditioner can't really do its job. I will wash my hair and then blot with a towel letting my hair mostly air dry before putting on the conditioner, plastic cap and under the dryer. This gives me excellent results.
Most times, I wake up on Saturday and before going outside to work in the garden, I slather my hair, put on a plastic cap, plop my garden hat on my head, and work for a couple of hours. This also gives excellent results.
I also think there is no one true way, and you need to experiment with a variety of methods to see what works best for you. I have found there are alternatives to sitting under the dryer for 30+ minutes, and I can get things done and do my hair at the same time.

When I DC on dry hair, I put a plastic cap on and sleep with it on through the night and rinse it out the next day.

I DC'd on dry hair last night for the first time. I think this will become a part of my regimen from now on!
I am 11 weeks post and it's getting unruly! So I decided to try DC'ing on dry hair. I applied condish and put on a plastic cap. I DC'd for about 3 hours with no heat (I ate dinner and watched 24). I rinsed, applied Lacio Lacio and went to bed. But when I was applying the Lacio, I noticed how soft my hair was and how soft the new growth was. But I knew the test would be when I rolled my hair this morning.
So I wet and rolled my hair this morning. When it dried it was like SILK! Before I flat ironed the roots and wrapped it. I literally have the same effect as I do when I damp-to-dry flat iron. It's light, fluffy and bouncy! I love it! And with less heat than the damp-to-dry flat iron technique.
I will do this again for sure!!!!!

Can anyone recommend a protein free conditioner to used on dry hair as a deep conditioner? All of my conditioners have protein in them. My hair loves protein, but not on dry hair. My hair rebels.
TIA.
TIA.

No, you would be a flashback from the 80's... in the hood.... Jheri Juice, anyone?

I use Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose or White camellia. They are both extremely moisturizing

I do this too! It forces me to take care of myself (first), first thing in the morning. But I was starting to rethink it. (Still trying to perfect my regimen.) Do you know of any downsides to DC'ing for 6-8 hours?
