Deep conditioner-Mixed Chicks

Hello there lovelies~

I hope that you all are doing well, and that you had an amazing Thanksgiving Day.  I have been using a  new leave in for a few months now and  I would like to share it with you.  Let me begin by saying I am not one of those diligent deep conditioner people.  I deep condition about once per month (if I remember), I don't typically sit under a conditioning cap, use a steamer, say the alphabet backwards, or do whatever it is that hair gurus do.  My new deep conditioner of choice is Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner.  I adore this conditioner.  The conditioner leaves my hair quite soft, it smells good, makes detangling easy, and is not too costly.  I try to deep condition at least once a month in order to help my hair stay well moisturized.  I don't have a particular time of the month for deep conditioning (like every first week of the month), but I simply do it when my hair looks like it is getting dry and needs a deep condition.  So, below is my process, which has been working well for me.

• Wet hair completely (all of this takes place in the shower)
• Put a bit of conditioner throughout my hair
• Section my hair into about 4-5 sections
• Put conditioner on each section at a time
• Detangle each section
• Twist each section once I finish detangling
• Leave conditioner on with a plastic cap, stocking cap, and scarf for about 1-2 hours (I have left this on overnight and feel like that is a bit too long)
• Wash conditioner out (leaving twists in)
• Twist for twist-out as normal

I would make a pros and cons list for this conditioner, but I really don't have any cons.  The conditioner works well and is easy to access (buy at Target).  I will say that the smell is pretty strong, pleasant, but strong (and lasts for days on your hair) so if you are sensitive to scents this conditioner may not be awesome for you.   

Let me know if you have tried this conditioner and/or what your deep conditioner of choice is.
