I think we can all learn something from this wonderful lady

[imstush]

I don't rinse all the conditioner out when cowashing but tomorrow morning I am going to try it her way and see how it goes. My head best not look like a white goopy mess

I always thought people did that, especially if they didn't have any leave in. But it shouldn't be white or goopy unless you try to brush it or comb it dry.

It actually keeps my frizzyness at bay. I tend to put coconut oil or JBCO over my hair when it dries.

And she did remind me of Midnight curlz (sp?)

 

[Soul♥Flower]

So does she not rinse out the conditioner at ALL? Maybe I need to stop co-washing and just co.

LOL. that was funny.

 

[Soliel185]

Yeah, ditto. I'd love to try what she said on my little 4a coils and see how it turned out. Her before and after pics were very inspirational.

And the pic of her hair when it's shingled versus when she combs it dry. That was bushy like afro hair! Really showed me that technique makes all the difference in how your curls/coils look.

I'm natural - texlaxed - AND bone straight right now But I could see this working on my texlaxed and natural hair. If I had just seen the pics of her hair now, and not the ones of what it looked like when she was younger I wouldn't have bothered, thinking her techniques wouldn't work for me. But honestly - when she was a teen her hair almost looked like a type 4 - now she's clearly a 3b or c. Interesting....

Cool site.

Has anybody ever saturated their hair w/ conditioner and just left it on? I dunno how that would work out...something to try I guess.

i have been doing that for years. i only recently stopped this and have been considering going back.

I used to do this too, but someone told me it was bad for the hair as it dries it out and makes it crunchy (when i was a teen).

logically, i guess this is what I do when I saturate it was "leave-in" conditioner...why not just regular conditioner? (might save some $ too!)

 

[Dogmd]

God Bless you for posting this... my daughter thanks you too.

 

[TaraDyan]

I never thought about not rinsing the conditioner out of my hair, but this makes sense to me (like a leave-in). I think I might try it.

Thanks for the link, Sam.

 

[Vshanell]

OMG her hair is awsome! Gosh it's so long! This is a great site. Thanks for sharing sam. I'm gonna go stalk, I mean look around now.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering, she just leaves the conditioner in. I wonder if she rinses that out before re-applying conditioner the next time she does her hair. And did I miss how often she does her hair?

 

[~~HoneyComb~~]

That's what I say!! She has some gorgeous hair. I think I'm going to try to just co tonight and comb it out with my denman ...I just have a feeling its going to feel sticky and coated erplexed

Yeah, I'm thinking my hair will also have white balls in it, but I'm gonna try it and see how it works.

Very cool site!! Thanks for posting...and this is my wash day too!!

I'm wondering how often she does her hair too. From what I read it dosen't sound like she's a daily washer though because she says to keep the curly style she braids her hair in one or two braids at night. I can't understand how she keeps those curls when she braids at night. I know mine would flatten out into waves and ruin the whole wash n' goerplexed. Her hair is georgeous and I wish I could stop staring.

Paitiently waiting to hear the results of leaving condish on the hair.

 

[cmesweet]

OK she hasn't trimmed for 10 years, so she has 10 years of growth on her head.

I don't have the patience, I want all that hair NOW!!!

Edited to add: Does combing conditioner through the hair make it look white?

I would try this but it started snowing again...will wait until warmer weather.

Me too ...

I'll probably end up giving it a try this weekend, I'm taking down my braids.

 

[Cleve_gryl]

I'm doing it in about 2 hours...I'll be back in a few hours to let yall know

 

[cmesweet]

I found this

"
Light-skinned-ed Girl: How long did it take for your hair to grow so long? It's beautiful!
Teri: Thank you! I'm such a goofball, I just measured my hair to see how long it is, and my hair got tangled on the metal tab of the tape measure. It's about 28" long. I'd say it took five or six years to grow out virgin hair to this length. I'm pretty sure it's at it's maximum length now, even though my mom thinks it looks longer every time she sees me."

I used to do that and it's when my hair was at it's best. I am going to go back to a variation of this.

 

[Jassy28]

She mentioned that it was the weight of her hair. The ends dont have anything weighing them down, hence the tighter curl.

Her curls seem to get smaller at the end of the shaft (as it gets longer). I have never seen that. I have always seem th opposite. What is her hair type 3b/c?

 

[The Girl]

I have before. It works like curly pudding I guess. Before LHCF, I would do it for wash and goes all the time. If you don't overdo it it dries just fine IMO.

Leaving the conditioner in is what I used to do a few years back. it just made my hair limp as the days went on if I didnt shampoo often. However I noticed if the hair does not have enough water in it, the condish will dry in the hair with white residue if there is more conditioner in the hair than water. so usually my hair is soaked when I app the conditioner. I then wring the excess water/conditoner out and then add a tad more conditioner as a finishing touch.

Most of you have seen this pic but this is my result of using Suave Milk and Honey/ Elucence as a leave in with no other product. I left most of the water in my hair as it was a very hot summer, but this is the airdried result. The more water you leave in the softer and less shrinkage the hair is...at least with my hair

 

[~~HoneyComb~~]

I did the technique 2 hours ago (pics in my album--last 2 pics). I used Tail & Mane Conditioner, but next time I'll use Suave as it might not be as heavy. Anyway, my hair is 90% dry at the time of my pics. When I add gel, it takes all day to dry. My hair feels really soft, not crunchy at all. It also seem to make my curls hang a little more. I'm guessing that the more you do this the better the curls will look. I will put a scrunchie around it tonight, and see if I can get 2nd day hair. This technique might be a keeper, thanks for posting.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

This technique was just "ok" for me. My hair was left white in a lot of places when done that I had to rub out with my towel. I will continue to rinse my conditioner out and leave a little in (maybe leave a smidge more in than before) like I normally do.

 

[PAPRIKA]

Sometimes after I rence conditioner I will add a little glob of conditioner to my hair and then proceed to my water based leave in and rollerset. I will do this or use the Cantu Shea Leave In which is pretty thick for my leave in. Is this the same thing?
