How long do you leave your conditioner on for when washing?

My showers are about a half hour. I shampoo right away with sulfate-free shampoo, rinse, then the conditioner marinates in my hair for about 25 minutes (in a shower cap) while I wash the rest of me and shave. Rinse conditioner while wide tooth comb detangles hair. Then Vinegar Rinse for 1 minute (some dumped over scalp, the length soaks in plastic mug for 1 minute) rinse Vinegar out in cool / cold water for 30 seconds to a minute.

However long it takes me to wash the rest of my body.

The second time I condition, I leave the conditioner in for between 10 and 45 minutes (under a shower cap, of course!!

)

I leave it on for however long it takes for me to detangle, wash my body, and shave, so maybe like 5-10 minutes? The current conditioner I'm trying says to leave it on for 15 minutes, screw that I'm not gonna stand around in the shower for 15 minutes I'll get bored and wrinkly lol

I let it sit as long as it takes me to detangle my hair. My hair is rather fine, so this amount of time seems to work for me.

I will wash my hair in the beginning of the shower and then condition right after. I'll leave the conditioner on for however long it takes me to shower which is 5/10 minutes... Depending if I'm shaving that day or not

I shampoo and then apply conditioner. I probably only leave the conditioner in my hair for about 3 minutes, maybe 5 if I feel like having a longer shower. I take fairly short showers to save water.

I CWC, and my first condition stays on for a couple minutes, while I shampoo; then I wash the rest of my body, then I apply the conditioner again, and let it stay, idk for the length of a song or something around 3-5 minutes.

Same here. Once I've finger combed my hair, the conditioner usually only stays on another two minutes or so. Maybe five, depending on what I'm shaving.
