How do you condition your hair???

[**JazzyCoils**]

Usually after washing my hair, I condition my hair from the roots to the ends. I then leave it in for 3 minutes. Is it bad to condition your roots? Someone told me that you are only supposed to condition your hair starting from your ear on down.

The only problem is...I BC'd and I only have ear length hair now

By the way I am a newbie and Im still learning the ropes. I will have my avatar up soon! TIA.

I think you should leave it in longer than that.

I just slap the conditioner on my hair roots and all. I let it stay on my hair while I'm taking a shower and making life decisions, all of 8-9 minutes, and then rinse it out.

 

[Tyra]

Saturate from root to end with conditioner...then I sleep with it in.
I don't know if 3 minutes is long enough, as I usually have mine in for at least 5 hours.

 

[**JazzyCoils**]

Thanks ladies...I actually do deep condition once a week. I agree Ms. Christ3n! I do the same!

 

[JJamiah]

I steam mines in for about 30 minutes , sometimes I still let it sit for an hour. When I use my self heating cap I leave it on for 2 hours.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I make SURE to get the roots...I want all of my hair covered, especially the line of demarcation...and I leave it in for about 10 mins while I finish showering

 

[**JazzyCoils**]

Okay..I will leave my conditioner in longer. I also pre poo with olive oil and jojoba oil over night before I wash. I put on a plastic shower cap, then I put my satin bonnet over that and sleep in my oil befor I was it out the next day. I love it! The results are very soft!

I slather the conditioner from root to tip and leave it for about 30mins to 1hr under a heat cap.

 

[Ms.Christ3n]

Are you talking about regular conditioner or deep conditioner? I was referring to regular 'ole Suave conditioner.

 

[Salsarisma]

^^Good question. Are we talking regular condition or a deep condition?

LOL, I don't use regular conditioner to condition, I just use it to detangle and rinse my hair.

I just assumed everyone was talking about deep conditioners.

 

[lilsparkle825]

when cowashing, i concentrate on my ends, but usually because i am detangling. i apply it everywhere before running my head under the shower head (this helps it "work" better, IMO). it probably stays in about 5 minutes, then i rinse most of it out. what doesn't get rinsed is used like a leave-in and stays in my hair.

when DCing i make sure to get my roots and ends equally. i leave that in for no less than 30 minutes.

 

[Americka]

I apply my deep conditioner as if I were relaxing my hair from root to tip, cover with a baggy and sit under the heat cap for at least 20 minutes. If I am not using the heat cap (which is rare), I let it sit for at least 45 minutes.

 

[Blessedmocha]

I apply Deep Conditioner to dry hair. Leave in for 30mins to 1hr using soft bonnet dryer. I then shampoo and use normal conditioner to rinse/ detangle.
I repeat this every 2-3 days.

 

[Tangie]

I pretty much only use conditioner when dc'ing. I apply it root to tip. I especially concentrate on my roots when I have substanstial new growth to make it easy to detangle.

 

[**JazzyCoils**]

Yes I meant just regular conditioner after co-washing in the shower. when I DC I make sure to drench every strand from root to tip!

I heard that it was bad to condition the roots for some reason. I need to do some research on that.erplexed

But atleast I now know that my DC time needs to increase big time!
Thanks for your opinions ladies!

 

[ladylina]

I condition root to tip for a least 45 mins with heat. I make sure I put a little bit extra on my ends since that is the oldest part of my hair. When i CW I leave on for just a couple of mins then detangle and wash out.

 

[ms.blue]

I saturate my hair from root to tip like if I'm applying a virgin relaxer and dc anywhere from 20-60 minutes either with or w/o heat. Co-washing only for a couple of minutes pretty much like Ms. Christ3n does.

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

from root to tip, unfortunately. it seems to be impossible to avoid getting to the roots. i don't like it because the conditioner always finds a way to my scalp, and it takes to long to get it all off. ♥

 

[Stacy TheLady]

I use my regular condish for co wash (5mins) and DC (2hrs) from root to tip and then some. LOL. **heavy hand here**

I am satisfied with my results and just pointing out: the dry DC is the best

 

[aquafinawetwet]

24 hours sometimes i don't even wash out the conditioner just leave it on and spray some s-curl over it ..and the moisture is ridiculous

 

[Foufie]

I let my regular conditioner sit while I am showering then proceed to use my shower comb and rinse most of it out. I leave in a little for all day moisture.

I learned from AdoraAdora24 to DC on dry hair for at least 4 hours.
