Should you sleep with deep conditioner on?

Can you leave deep conditioner on too long?

Yes, it is possible to leave deep conditioner on for too long. If left on for too long, the conditioner can actually start to damage the hair, making it dry, brittle and prone to breakage. The best way to ensure you get the most out of the deep conditioner is to follow the instructions on the label and only leave it on for the recommended time.

How long should you leave deep conditioner in?

You should check the instructions on the deep conditioner product you are using for the exact amount of time you should leave it in for optimal results. Deep conditioning treatments are usually done after shampooing, and you should rinse the conditioner out thoroughly before styling your hair.
