Recommendation for Deep Treatment/Conditioner?

I've got 3a-ish hair, medium texture, normal porosity. New to CG, have been exclusively co-washing for the last 3+ weeks and my hair is LOVING it! Every time I wash I have more curls appearing than the time before.
I still feel that my hair is not as soft as it could be, and I know a lot of CGers use DTs. My hair isn't really dry or damaged, tho - haven't used a flat iron, blow dryer or colored my hair in about 10+ years. I'm just looking to further reduce the frizz factor and am thinking that an occasional DT would help.
So, what are good product recs, and also how often? I was thinking maybe starting out once a week or every-other week.
Any tips would be appreciated!

Frizz could come from different things, it could be too little moisture (so than a DT will help), but it could also be too little proteïn, build up, or using humectants in either high or low dewpoints in your leave-in and/or gel. You could check those things if a DT isn't working.
