Change the way you wash your hair.

[imastawka]

We've all been doing it wrong.

Everyone tends to keep his or her shower routine pretty simple and consistent. Wet your hair, shampoo, condition, wash your body, wash your face, and then do whatever else you need to do to get clean.

But recently, hair care brands and stylists have been suggesting that you switch things up and condition your hair first followed by shampoo

.

This method helps your hair not get weighed down by shampoo, which allows it to have more volume and nourishment. The shampoo works to whisk away any excess conditioner that may cause your hair to look greasy or flat.

Switching your hair cleaning routine is especially helpful for people with fine, damaged, knotty, thin, greasy, or highlighted hair.

I wanted to test this theory before I posted.  I've washed my hair twice with this method

of conditioner first. wash, rinse, wash, rinse......and then I did conditioner again.

The conditioner before the shampoo makes your hair very soft and easier to style IMO.

It also means using less shampoo.  I found that a small amount lathers up a lot.

I also found that it dries quicker, because it hasn't absorbed so much water.

My hair is only ever this soft when I leave the hairdressers.

Try it.  Just once,  and see the difference.

Come back and tell me what you think

I've been using pure olive oil soap, no conditioner, and it's never been better.

Bright,  I have long (ish) hair.  I'd never get the knots out

But whatever works for you is good.

I have just started with Tresomme for dry hair and it leaves your hair very soft as it's not a harsh soap.

I also sometimes just rinse my hair in the shower, no shampoo, turns out soft as well.

Our hair is designed to have oil in it so it repells water to keep us warm so we are not meant to wash it so often.

Finding the right balance of washing and retaining some oil without drying it out gives it the softness.

Let me just say - I hate people with hair.

All my life I have had to live with - hair that is very fine - lot of it - but fine

No hidden body here.

Thought when I got a few grey ones - yea - just a few they would be the type that had ' body ' .

NO - got - Miss Marple - Margie Rutherford - grey ones - fly about grey ones.

Mind you - still very Auburn - natural of course..

Found no matter how you wash it - condition it - it is still not hair to die for.

Try it, just once, Dom.

You might be surprised. 

Then again, you may not.   But what the hey!
