Deep Conditioning AGAIN...

I am on a mission to find the best way to deep condition my hair. Lately I have been applying the deep conditioner (ORS) on dry hair and either sleeping in it or letting it sit for a couple of hours. I have began to rethink this because i know my hair has alot of dirt in it from this sand. So is that a good idea? Nawww I dont think so. Maybe if I was in the states. So the other night I washed with Shampoo and deep conditioned but instead of washing the conditioner out I slept with it and washed it out in the morning. I figured that would be better since I take a shower at night and in the morning anyways. The results: Moisturized, soft braids! So I think this method is a keeper.
