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

grrrrrr      

Use the conditioner first, then shampoo     

How's the Tresemme going?

Kopes - at least you still have hair.

And it seems Ms Stawks is feeling much better - back to the land of the living.

No detangling to be done here.

I'm gunna try and convince the twin grandies they should do their hair this way.

They have below shoulder length hair that is just masses of curls.

They always have so much trouble detangling.  

When they were little, I used to call them 'my curlies'    

I love their curls.                  They love their straighteners.

Oh yeah, i think a few more washes and it'll look Fab!

Very good, only need a small amount and it lathers really well.

Doesn't dry hair out so is softer and easier to manage.

I know what you mean though, I have in the past when I was experimenting just used conditioner to wash my hair and it felt thicker n softer but would go greasier faster.

I imagine using conditioner first would retain some of the oil and not dry it out too much.

Not enough hair to bother, I keep it short that is.

If I walk fast enough it's dry in no time.
