What's the difference between regular conditioner and deep conditioner?
Regular conditioner provides surface-level moisture and detangling for daily use. Deep conditioner penetrates the hair shaft to deliver intensive repair, moisture, and strengthening from the inside out. Think of regular conditioner as your daily maintenance and deep conditioner as your weekly intensive treatment. You need both for optimal hair health.
How often should I use this deep conditioner?
For dry, damaged, or Type 4C hair, use once per week. For healthy hair maintenance or Type 1-3 hair, use every 2 weeks. If your hair is severely damaged, you can use it twice per week until you see improvement, then scale back to weekly maintenance.
Do I need to use heat with this?
Heat significantly improves results by helping the conditioner penetrate deeper into your hair shaft. Sitting under a hooded dryer or heat cap for 20-30 minutes is ideal. If you don't have heat tools, wrap your hair in a warm towel or just let it sit for 30-45 minutes at room temperature. It will still work, just not as intensively.
Can I leave this in overnight?
While you can, we don't recommend it. This is an intensive treatment that works best with 20-30 minutes of heat application. Leaving it on too long without heat can actually cause the hair shaft to over-absorb moisture and become weak. Follow the recommended timing for best results.
Will this weigh my hair down or make it greasy?
Not when used as directed and rinsed thoroughly! The formula is designed to penetrate the hair shaft, not sit on the surface. Make sure to rinse completely with cool water. If your hair feels heavy, you may be using too much product or not rinsing enough. For fine hair, focus application on mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots.
Is this safe for color-treated or chemically treated hair?
Yes! Our deep conditioner is specifically beneficial for color-treated, relaxed, or chemically processed hair. The gentle, sulfate-free formula won't strip your color or damage your treatment, and the intensive moisture helps repair the damage caused by chemical processing.
What are the main ingredients and what do they do?
Aloe provides deep hydration. Honey locks in moisture and adds shine. Olive oil and avocado oil nourish and protect. Shea butter and murumuru seed butter add softness and prevent breakage. Rice protein repairs and strengthens damaged hair structure. Vitamin B6 supports healthy hair growth. Castor oil soothes the scalp and stimulates growth.
Can I use this with other Veganic products?
Absolutely! This deep conditioner works perfectly with our Rosemary Shampoo, Hair Growth Oil, Hydrating Mist, and other products. Many customers use our Hair Growth Oil on their scalp before shampooing, then follow with our Rosemary Shampoo, rinse-out conditioner, and finish with this deep conditioner once per week for comprehensive hair care.
Will this help with hair growth?
While this conditioner is primarily designed for moisture and strength, healthy, well-conditioned hair grows better than dry, damaged hair. By preventing breakage and keeping your hair strong, you'll retain more length. For targeted growth stimulation, pair this with our Hair Growth Oil, Rosemary & Caffeine Spray, or Liquid Vitamins.
Does this work for all hair types?
Yes! Our deep conditioner is formulated to work on all hair types and textures - Type 1, 2, 3, and 4 hair. It's especially beneficial for Type 3 and Type 4 hair, which tends to be naturally drier and needs more intensive moisture. Adjust the amount you use based on your hair length and thickness.
Is this safe for kids?
Yes! Our gentle, natural formula is safe for children. Just make sure to rinse thoroughly and supervise young children to prevent getting product in their eyes.
Why is it free of silicones?
Silicones create the illusion of healthy hair by coating the outside, but they don't actually repair damage and can cause buildup over time. Our formula uses natural butters and oils that actually penetrate and nourish hair rather than just coating it. You get real results, not temporary shine.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or nursing?
Yes! Our natural, gentle formula is safe for use during pregnancy and while nursing. The ingredients are topical and non-toxic.
How long will one bottle last?
For shoulder-length hair using once per week, one 8oz bottle typically lasts 6-8 weeks. Longer or thicker hair may go through it faster. A little goes a long way - you need enough to coat your hair, but not so much that it's dripping off.
My hair is severely damaged. Will this help?
Yes! For severely damaged hair, use this deep conditioner 1-2 times per week for the first month, then scale back to weekly maintenance. You should see noticeable improvement in softness, manageability, and reduced breakage within 2-4 weeks. For best results, also minimize heat styling and chemical treatments while your hair recovers.

We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee. If you use our Deep Conditioner as directed and don't see improvements in your hair's moisture, strength, and manageability, simply email support@tryveganic.com and we'll process your full refund. No questions asked.
