CW:how do I do this

[morehairplease]

do I apply the co before I get in the shower or while I am in the shower? How long do I let it remain in the hair?

Thanks in advance ladies

Hey girl,
As far as I know, most folks complete their shampoo process as usual and simply replace the shampoo with conditioner.
I.E. wet hair, "poo" with DDTA or Suave, rinse, con with Humectress or Mane & Tail, rinse, style as usual
HTH...

when I CW, I like to apply a bit of conditioner to dry hair and do a mini-deep condition (usually 30 mins with a plastic cap), then hop in the shower and wash. Works great for me.

My personal results are always better when I apply my conditioner to dry hair and let it sit for several minutes before rinsing it out. I try to leave some of the conditioner in by not rinsing it all out but if I feel as though I have rinsed it all out, I simply add a little after I've rinsed.

This is the method I use and it works great for me.

After wetting my hair, I put a generous amount of conditioner in my hands and work it on my scalp, using the tips of my fingers to scrub away any dirt/oils. Then I put some MORE conditioner on my hands and apply it to the length of my hair. I allow the conditioner to do its stuff while I wash my body. Then I rinse. I use DDTA (Daily Defense Tender Apple Conditioner--available at Big Lots) for my cw's. It's an awesome conditioner and provides great slip.

I love conditioner only washes, I rarely use shampoo. Here is the way that I do it.

Step one: I wet my hair throughly
Step two: I apply lots on cone-free conditioner such as Garnier Fruitis (for fine hair, Suave Coconut, White Rain Extra Body Conditioner)
Step thee: Rinse throughly

Once this process is done I repeat a final time but I don't rinse out the conditioner. I add a little oil to my wet mane and that's it.

I wet my hair then apply the conditioner. I may try the other method recommended hair. In which you apply the conditioner to dry hair then let it sit for a few minutes.

I wet my hair then cw. I may try applying it to dry hair first, sit, then rinse off. I don't apply extra conditioner after doing a cw, I just rinse and style.

I get the best results doing the following:
1. Rinse very thoroughly with warm water
2. Squeeze water out of hair, sometimes lightly towel drying
3. Apply conditioner and leave-in while showering, or for a few minutes if washing in the sink.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water
5. Rinse with cool water

i just started doing co washes and im loving them...i havent had a relaxer since May and i cant comb thru my hair because i have a like a 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch of new growth...im undecided on rather i want to relax my hair right now...so what i do to soften my hair...i was actually the other day was able to plait my hair in braids all over...

1. I put a conditioner on my hair for 30 minutes and put a plastic cap over it.
2. Then i rinse the conditioner out...shampoo the hair
3. Then i sit under a dryer for like 30 to 45 minutes for deep conditioning
4. Then i rinse the deep conditioner
5. apply infusim 23 leave in conditioner
6. apply some oil..tie up in a scarf and then let it air dry

i try to do this every 3 to 4 days...so i'll be doing it today because my hair is itching like crazy...

I usually put in conditioner and olive oil then shower cap for 15-20 minutes before I CW (or sometimes over night) then I get in the shower and rinse, detangle and air dry in a bun.
