Why would you want to walk around with oils or surfactants in the core of your hairs? You don't. You want to "close" (tighten the chemical bonds at) the hair cuticle, and coat it so the hairs don't dry out or get damaged as much.

They are typically just thickened versions of regular conditioners. Take a look at the ingredients! But if a deep conditioner contains Coconut oil then there might be some added benefit. The truth is, the way conditioners work once it's been on your hair for a minute, it will not penetrate significantly deeper. What's the difference? That could be a question for another time but basically, leave-ins are like regular conditioners but without the heavy ingredients that make conditioner creamy. There is little difference between deep conditioners and regular ones except for the thickness and the marketing story. “Deep conditioners” are actually more of a marketing term.

And if so, is this because of the leave-on time or because of the actual ingredients? And will a rinse off conditioner left on longer (as some instruct to do before rinsing out) act the same/more comperable to a deep conditioner? Between the three, rinse-offs, 'deeps', and leave-ins, what are the differences/do we (generally taking all hair types into consideration) need all 3? Is this question too loaded?
