CWOW revisited!

[DDTexlaxed]

There was a thread in the past where someone co washed their hair first, used shampoo, then conditioned their hair again. This works for me. My hair just feel awesome right now. Soft and moisturized, even though I botched up the wrap attempt. I wonder if anyone else here does it. The thread was big in the past and I have NO idea on how to bump it up.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

Isn't this awesome!? I do this too and my hair is fantabulous (to me!)

 

[vkb247]

I pre poo with conditioner overnight sometimes. I guess that is the same thing.

 

[FindingMe]

I do this as well... It's the only way for me to detangle my hair and not lose it all...

 

[n_vizion]

Oh yeah..... I remember this method. It worked beautifully, thanks for brining it back up.

 

[Shay72]

Hmm sounds interesting. I think I may try to find the original thread.

Interesting...I may have to try that! Thanks for starting the thread, DD!

I use to practice this method but it caused my hair to be over moisturized at times, since my hair is fine. I now do hot oil treatments as my pre-poo and it works out so much better for me.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I never considered fine hair. My hair is uber thick. I guess that's why this method works well for me.

 

[jazzzmoods]

Thanks! I thought this was just something I did! Seems to work well and helps my hair to be more moisturized

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

My hair isn't thick and my hair loves it, I just do it in moderation so it works out great for me! Plus I keep protein treatments in my regi to keep things balanced.

YES! You found it! Thank you! I didn't post right on how to do it. You have to mix shampoo and conditioner together to do it their way. Oh well, my way just works better for me.

I just revisited this on my dd natural hair a few days ago, and boy what a difference it made. Her hair was tangle free.

^Ohh, ok this is not what I do. I don't mix the shampoo with anything.^

I use plain old cheapie V05 conditioner to detangle first before I wash. Then I use my herbal shampoo (contains sodium laureth sulfate which gets all the cones out for me) and then I use my cone free herbal conditioner.

This just helps me bc I am transitioning and I need help with cones when detangling (especially from my braidouts which I wear a lot), but I can't keep cones close to or on my scalp bc they clog my follicles and I get bumps and my scalp actually hurts after a few days. It does this whenever I try to cowash with a conditioner containing cones and when I use Sabino Moisture block too close to my scalp when straightening my hair. As soon as I wash my hair with the process above, my scalp becomes itch and pain free.

I'm not sure I will mix the conditioner with the shampoo either. I will read the thread. There were some threads that talked about what the two of you are talking about too.

I have never thought of doing this before. I'll try it the next time I wash. Thanks for bringing it up...again.

I actually tried this out by accident... I only shampoo once every 6 weeks or so and last weekend was time to shampoo -- I'm so used to just picking up my conditioners that I put conditioner in my head -- I said oops its shampoo day -- so I let the conditioner stay in a bit then rinsed it out then shampooed my hair then deep conditioned it. it came out awesome soft and fluffy...I wear braidouts mostly.
