conditioners function is to lower the hairs ph and to coat the hair, both of those functions are impaired when the conditioner is diluted. if you’ve been told conditioners job is to force water into the hair, you’ve been misled. conditioner doesn’t change the water content of the hair, and water staying in your hair for hours would actually damage your hair. the reason people think it makes the conditioner work better is because water softens the hair, so it will feel more silky.
