Is it bad to leave conditioning hair treatment in too long?

I have a moisturising conditioning treatment thing that you put in you hair for 30min then wash out. But I find when i leave it in and let it dry my hair is alot more controlled and less frizzy (as my hair is very thick and frizzy), is it bad to leave it in for a day or 2?Is it bad to leave conditioning hair treatment in too long?
You don't want to leave it in too long because it might get mildewy. I leave mine in all day or all night. I think that that is a good amount of time. Good luck!Is it bad to leave conditioning hair treatment in too long?
If your hair is very dry, in fact some people swear by


';baggying';, which is basically sleeping overnight with some type of conditioner in hair with a plastic cap over hair.





But be careful some people experience overmoisturizing from this. Yes, there is such a thing as overconditioning. The signs are below, very stretchy hair. You can counteract this with a protein treatment like Aphogee 2 step or an egg treatment. But then again it's possible to get too much protein treatments. Think of it as a protein/moisture balance. Too much of one means not enough of the other and vice versa. To keep healthy hair you want these two to be in balance.





1. How Do I Perform a Proper Wet Assessment?


It will be difficult for you to wet assess your hair by holding a single strand and pulling on both ends. That type of stress would be considered ';undue'; stress, because no single hair is ever really subjected to that sort of tension at one time. Any strand of hair (healthy or not) that you pull on by both ends has the potential to snap depending on the pressure you apply to it. Hair should be wet assessed by the normal act of combing though it or touching-testing it.


Wet Assessment Break Down


If your hair:


(Wet or Dry) Stretches slighty/returns to original length /no breaking= you are balanced just stick with maintaining!


(Wet ot Dry) Stretching a little more than normal then breaks= more protein


(Wet or Dry)Stretching, stretching, stretching/no breakage yet= more protein


(Wet)- Weak, gummy, mushy, limp hair= more protein


(Wet or Dry) Very little/no stretching then breakage= more moisture


(Dry) Rough/tough/hard/tangly/brittle hair= more moisture
Not sure - ask your hairdresser for the best opinion %26lt;3
