Because Agave Nectar comes from a succulent plant I'm guessing it has the same moisturising and humidity control as honey ... if you are hesitant try adding less then you would normally have in your DT.

Well, that's good news for me! My mom has a ton of coconut sugar that she doesn't use. In fact, she buys a ton of oils, flours, and sweeteners, most of which she ends up rarely, if ever, using, but they make good raw materials for my hair and skin products
I can't say whether agave nectar works just as well as honey for hair products, but I've tried using it once as a binder for an aspirin face mask and did not like it for that purpose. It was not as viscous and did not moisturize my skin as well. Yesterday, I did make my own shampoo with 0.5 castile soap, 0.25 water, ~0.25 agave nectar, and several drops of argan oil. It dried out my scalp, and my scalp in fact tends to get oily! Probably too much castile soap and not enough oil. I would think that oils or butters should be the main ingredients of your deep conditioner, with agave nectar or honey as a secondary ingredient.

I'm sympathetic to the vegan issue; don't know off-hand what can substitute that's not vegan.
