Most conditioners have specific instructions for optimal usage, and exceeding that time might not provide additional benefits.

Leaving conditioner in longer doesn't necessarily mean it's working harder. Leaving conditioner in for an extended period might lead to over-conditioning, making your hair feel weighed down or greasy.

It's best to follow the recommended time to avoid over-conditioning or potential damage to your hair. If you're looking for enhanced conditioning, consider using a deep conditioning treatment instead of prolonging the time with regular conditioner.
