I always use heat with a protein conditioner but with cholesterol and moisturizing conditioners I occasionally use heat

I tend to use heat for hot oil treatments only. I plan to use coconut oil on my new growth (in a few weeks) as a hot oil because it helps to straighten it. Otherwise, Ive only used heat for a deep condit once or twice...I didnt notice much of a difference. when I did this, I think I used Nexuus Humectress.

I mostly use them with creamy proteins - and that's only if I have the time. Most of the time though, like you, I simply apply conditioner, put on a cap and go about my business for a half hour or so.
I deep condition far less frequently now though that I condition wash so often. I plan to go back to deep conditioning 2x a week (I only do it once now) when fall hits. No more wash and wear hair for me in the fall, so more heat.....gotta protect my hair against that heat!

Sometimes I do. But I can get the same results from body heat!

I deep condition once a week with Le Kair's Cholesterol and yes i do put on the shower cap and sit under the hooded dryer for about 30 minutes (unless i've just came out of braids, if that's the case, i'll sit under the dryer for an hour) I do conditioner washes once a week with Pantene Pro V (women of color) conditioner.....

Recently I've just been putting a shower cap on while I'm still in the shower and then pamper myself in the shower with a nice body wash and exfoliant, you know--the works. Meanwhile, the shower steam is my heat source.

I used to apply a plastic cap & sit under a hooded dryer for 15-30 mins. I'm going without my hooded dryer for a while... so now I'll warm the conditioner a tid bit b4 applying & cover with a plastic bag for 15 or so mins. So far so good

I don't use heat with smoothing conditioners e.g. LUST, Motions Moisture Plus because they 'perform' better without I've noticed. I do for certain other ones though like Mizani Moisturefuse.
Overall though, I don't use heat.

Does anyone get the feeling that the heat makes the conditioner evaporate, or maybe its just penetrating, sometimes I wonder.

I don't think it evaporates away since the plastic cap traps it. If it does vaporize, it condenses right back down onto your hair which is all ready to receive it. According to Cathy Howse (and I like her logic) the heat allows your hair strands to expand so that the good stuff is absorbed right into the core where it's needed most and where it can make a difference. Maybe it's all in the mind but I do think my hair feels better when I deep condition with heat.
