I think it’s the added warmth. Like when you deep condition your hair but put an extra bag or what have you to trap the heat.

What are the purported benefits of incorporating heat? Increased effectiveness: Incorporating heat into your deep conditioning treatment can help to increase its effectiveness, allowing the conditioning ingredients to penetrate more deeply and provide greater benefits to the hair.

Improved hydration: The added heat can help to open up the hair cuticles, which can improve the overall hydration of the hair.

Better product absorption: The heat can also help to improve the absorption of the deep conditioning treatment, making it easier for the curls to retain the benefits of the treatment over time.
