I don't deep condition often.  About once a month I use Aussie 3Minute Miracle - I leave it in for about 15 minutes. 

I also put extra jojoba oil on my hair before I take a sauna, which makes my hair nice and soft as well.

I used to do weekly deep conditioning treatments with a product from the Body Shop (can't remember what it was called) and it worked nicely. But after I ran out, I slacked off with the treatments. Now I'm lucky if I bother to do one DT a month. The last time I did one I used coconut milk and it worked really well. The only problem was getting all of the milk out of my hair. I missed a couple of spots and those places looked a bit greasy for a day or two.

I use some extra vigin olive oil since it's already in my pantry (but you can use regular...but cooking with it...it's rather bland..extra virgin is better). It's also more economic to by the extra virgin for cooking and for hair, using the same bottle. I also put sweet almond oil and I've tried my vitamin e oil which contains coconut and soybean oils (it worked nicely). I give myself a scalp treatment/massage with the oils once a week and wash it out. Oh and "KeeWee" oil in the African American section of the store is pretty good too. I still find it sad how they don't have more natural things for every type of hair and its only in one section (and its in a separate part of the store sometimes).
