Applying Conditioner

[cieramichele]

How do you apply it (see poll above)?

 

[lovelymissyoli]

...there's no option for slather or a combination of both...

 

[JustKiya]

what she said ^^^

 

[cieramichele]

Sorry guys

 

[Aggie]

I slather it on from roots to tips. I like the ends really saturated though since it is the oldest hair on my head and needs a lot of conditioning. I pay more attention to my roots when I'm stretching my relaxer however.

 

[Qualitee]

I put my con mix in a applicator bottle. I'ts very easy that way

Just want I was thinking...I kinda just slather it on everywhere.

 

[cieramichele]

I pay more attention to my new growth. Im transitioning and I want my natural hair to be in top condition when I cut off the relaxed ends. I am a root to tipper...

This is one reason why I cant let "a little conditioner go a long way. I need my new growth to look like its being RELAXED with conditioner and then the length to be totally covered too.

I never really paid attention. I think from root to tip and then I add more conditioner on the ends when I'm done.

I apply conditioner with an applicator/dye brush from roots to ends. I generally try to focus on my ends because the roots are new hair and the ends are old, so they get the most attention

 

[Sunshine0801]

I apply it from root to ends and concentrate on the ends.

It depends on the conditioner. The V05 Moisture Milk is the one I try my best not to get on my scalp because it leaves crazy buildup! Usually I put on from near root to tip.

This sounds exactly like me too.

That's how I apply mine.

This is what I do. I apply in 4 sections from root to tip, then I go back over each section and really saturate the tips.

 

[wheezy807]

I apply root to tip in sections.

What she said. I slather and smoosh.

that's what i do, but the word smooosh makes me giggle

That's why I could never really get into co-washing, I hated smooshing conditioner into my scalp in place of shampoo, and then later having buildup. Not a good situation for me.

As for conditioning I smother my strands, focusing on the ends but distributing throughout to the roots.

 

[Queen V]

I apply from root to tip, but I put extra conditioner on the ends.

 

[moonglowdiva]

I just put it on thick and massage my root for about 1 min and work it through. I don't have much hair.

 

[Christa438]

slather on the length

 

[wonderstar]

Slather it on from roots to tips, heavily.

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

I apply root to tip in sections.

Same here.

 

[SouthernTease]

I apply like a relaxer with applicator brush
root to tip... this ensures I reach every
inch... very important for transitioners

 

[discobiscuits]

i apply to length only (some does get on the scalp but...)

i've been taught that conditioner is for the hair not the scalp but also, in my case, if i get conditioner on my scalp, it make my scalp flaky or at least itch.

What she said. I slather and smoosh.

What she said!! EXACTLY!! I only have a TWA, can't do much more than just slather and smoosh!

 

[Allandra]

I apply conditioner from root to tip.

When I condition my dry hair, I use an applicator brush to make sure I'm getting all of my hair. I don't use the apply brush when my hair is wet though.

 

[InnerSoul]

root to tips!!!

I made a thread about how people only use a small amount of conditoner---
I use to get my roots, then in sections get the length of my hair and ends, then get my ends again all together---I was using like 6oz of conditoner at a time LOL


And i learned that if you lean your head over (i've only tried while hair was wet), you can get some and apply it to all of your ends, then the length of your hair like 2x and work it through to your ends again, then get your roots
In the end my hair is 100% saturated with conditoner, way less time, and i use waaaay less conditoner

ETA---For me, it also seems easier to manipulate through my roots when the rest of my hair has conditoner on it, its much more pliable for me.---the other times my roots/newgrowth/hair would be/are so thick, i would feel like i was missing sections (and would be), and thats why i would use so much
