    Use indirect-heat. Apply your deep conditioner to dry hair. Ultra moisturizing deep conditioners work wonders on hair. Apply a plastic cap, apply a turbie twist (or hair wrap to secure in place) and go to bed. The next morning, shampoo this product out. While you were sleeping, the heat from your scalp and body produced natural heat underneath the plastic cap. It’s a great way to save time and not spending your precious moments of free time underneath a noisy dryer.
