Shea Moisture Masks?

in Hair Type 2
Ok, so I am new to really deep conditioning, I have only done it once or twice in years. I have read the She Moisture Masks are good so I bought the Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment.
I guess I'm used to the "slip" I get with my conditioners because this stuff just sort of sat on my hair and even though I left it in for a few minutes I don't know that it really did much.
Are you supposed to condition with regular conditioners AFTER a deep treatment? Anyone use any of these (I know they make several of them)...
I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, have the wrong expectations or if I just picked the wrong deep treatment. Help.

Also, the masques aren't to be used for conditioning. A masque is just to hold moisture in the hair. A deep conditioner has the conditioning properties. If you'd like a great cheap conditioner, I would recommend picking up a packet of Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner at Walmart. Don't be scared of the protein, I didn't find the protein did much for me personally, but it was excellent as a general deep conditioner.

Ok, I'm going to take your advice and try a different one. Not really a fan of the smell of the one I have, either. Kinda gross.

I once tried the Curl Junkie Curl Rehab deep conditioner, it cost about $20.00 on amazon it's a bit pricey, but worked really well and left my hair feeling buttery soft.
Even Sally's Beauty Supply offers a GVP Conditioning Balm that works incredible as a rinse out and deep treatment. It's fairly inexpensive.
I hope this helps you! (:

I leave mine on for 5 hours, and I have medium porosity. I probably don't need it that long, but that's just what I've gotten used to. So for you maybe do at least 5 hours, since you have low porosity.

And, I have used both the name brand Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm, as well as the GVP knockoff version and they both happen to work very well in my hair, I must say.

I only wear my hair in wash n gos or buns. Also,
I do not use conditioner on my hair on a weekly basis. And, my hair is A ok with that!
GVP Balm is another good option. I find it doesn't give my hair as much slip. You may find adding olive oil or coconut oil helps.
