That's how I use mine from time to time. I pre-poo with it and sit under the dryer for a little while, then proceed with my wash, and follow with a moisturizing DC. For me that method works best as I'm not jumping in and out of the shower 50 times. My hair seems to really love it. Sometimes I'll use it as my DC on wet hair and follow with a moisturizing instant conditioner after I rinse it out.
