Washing Your Hair

[tiffanyoneal]

How long does it take you to wash your hair? It takes me almost 45 minutes to an hour if I am shampooing, conditioning and doing a quick aphogee treatment on my braids.

 

[CurlyMoo]

I shampoo for 10-15 minutes and it's only a scalp massage. When I rinse I let the water run down my hair and I squeeze my hair gently. It takes me a long time to finish the entire process as I like to do other things in the process.

 

[loolalooh]

The actual shampoo takes me about 5-10 minutes. One lather and then rinse.

DC-ing can take 15-60 minutes depending on my schedule, how I feel, how my hair feels, etc.

 

[mscocoface]

Anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending on what I am doing. Longer if you add in deep conditioining, hot oil treatments, and other treatments. And I cowash only once in a blue moon I will use a shampoo or just baking soda for clarifying.

It takes me FOREVER not coz of how am doing it but simply bcoz how I LOVE the feeling of water under my head so my answer won't justify how long I stay in-there lol

I shampoo for about two minutes
Apply conditioner (I usually wash my body while the conditioner sits)
I detangle (it takes about 5 mins for me to detangle completely)
Then rinse. Minuse the shower I could do it in 10.

Umm, not long. If I am doing just a regular co-wash, it takes 5 minutes (if that). If I DC, it takes about an hour.

 

[LushLox]

The shampooing takes the least amount of time; 5/10 minutes. I too, enjoy the water on my hair, so I luxuriate in it for a while. It's the DC'ing, rollrsetting and drying that takes up the time. I like to allow three hours for the whole process.

I wash my hair in sections:
it takes about 3 minutes to wash my hair.
I condition for 10-15 minutes under heat.
It takes me 3 minutes to rinse and detangle.

If I'm just co-washing, it only takes 2 minutes.

Your natural hair is so thick & beautiful. I'm transitioning & would love to know about your detangling technique. Its getting to the point where I hate to wash my hair because it takes to long to detangle.

I have a wash day process, but if I am just pooing it take less than 3 mins.

Thanks
It's really simple. I make sure that my hair is saturated with conditioner first. I comb first with a wide tooth comb, then I use a fine tooth comb, I finish with my denman.

I want to make a detangling video.

My hair takes 5-10 minutes tops to wash. I wash pretty often so my hair is pretty clean.

 

[tiffers]

10-15 mins to shampoo

60 mins to dc

45 mins to rollerset

60 mins to dry rollerset

 

[Toy]

It takes me about 10mins if i'm only pooing.

 

[Oasis]

The actual washing process is nothing for me, especially if my hair is in braids. If not it takes about 10 minutes.

It's the detangling that seems to go on forever.

 

[imaccami]

I don't know how long washing takes, maybe 5 minutes. My entire shower takes 20-25 minutes and during that time I lather twice, put in the conditioner, leave it on while I wash my body, rinse, and I'm out.

 

[Poohbear]

It takes me about 5 minutes to wash my hair and scalp with shampoo.

I don't deep condition very often since I use conditioner as a leave-in. When I do deep condition, I do it for 20-30 minutes.

For detangling, it takes me about 5 minutes as well. What saves me time is detangling all in one section under the waterflow from the showerhead. You have to make sure your hair is DRENCHED/SOAKED with water. I also have conditioner in my hair beforehand when detangling.
