Applying Conditioner

[RubyWoo]

I section my hair and apply to the ends first and then work my way up. Since the ends are the oldest and most fragile part of the hair, I make sure to put extra on my ends first and then work my way up to the roots. I learned that from somewhere (can't remember where) and some of my conditioners state to put on the ends first and then work throughout the hair.

I section my hair off starting at the backand apply it to the roots first since its the thickest up there then work my way down. My finger combing goes easier that way.

What she said. I slather and smoosh.

this is what i do.....

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

never thought of doing it this way...but it makes sense...this way i know i'm getting deep down to the roots
off to get more applicators

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.

Same here! I have since stopped using it b/c it was just sitting on my scalp

since i'm with everybody else who has a twa...i said tips to roots..but i slather n smoosh it on and it just hits the ends first...lol and that's b/c i don't have to much of an option

On the length. If some gets on my scalp it's okay, but I always learned conditioner on the length of hair and shampoo for the scalp.

 

[Cichelle]

I shampoo my scalp and keep the conditioner mostly on the length. I'm not meticulous about it, but I'd rather not have a lot of conditioner going on my scalp after washing it. A little is fine.

Ends to roots.

I apply in sections from root to tip making sure to add extra conditioner to the ends.

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.

What she said

 

[SEMO]

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

Ditto. No technique really. Just total saturation.

Does it really matter how you apply as long as you get all of your hair covered and concentrate on the ends??? erplexed

 

[MonPetite]

SLATHAAAA'!

 

[iasade]

I condition from scalp to ends!

My stylist saturates the entire hair--preparing it for a deep conditioner--then he puts the rest of my hair on top of my head, puts a clear plastic cap on, and I sit under the dryer for at least 30 minutes.
