Deep Condition Without Washing???

[PurAngl1]

Ok Ladies, I have another question. I want to continue to DC my hair 3x a week until I get the right moisture balance for my hair. However, I do not want to wash my hair that often. Would it be ok to DC and rinse it out without washing or cowashing? I think the constant co-washing is drying my hair out because I am washing all the good stuff out. My hair feels like I didn't put anything in it. It feels stripped and I use YTC conditioner. So I want to DC (on either dry or wet hair), rinse, add conditioner and just rinse, no wash or co wash. Anyone ever tried this? BTW I have chronic dry hair and protein overload. SO DCing often with a moisture DC is essential. TIA

I do this

I put the conditioner in my hair, let it sit for an hour with a plastic cap for an hour, then rinse.

It gives the same amount of cleansing that a regular co wash would, but you got your deep conditioning treatment too.

I have tried this on dry hair and I liked it! I have used cheapie condish and a real "Deep Conditioner." When I used Suave, or HH, it was just like a super cowash, but when I used ORS Replenishing or Pantene R&N mask with honey and oils it was a great quick and easy DC.

I just started doing this exactly the same way on dry hair since reading the DC every other day thread. I didn't join the challenge, but my hair likes this.

i do this all the time (every week to be exact- sometimes 2x a week)... i dc w/heat for 30-60min then rinse out and style as usual... every once in a while i rinse out the conditioner with a very, very diluted shampoo

I do it with deep conditioner and cheapies too. Depends on how much moisture I want/need at the time.

Super co wash. lol. I think I will call it that.

First things first - please STOP using the YTC conditioner. Co-washing should not make your hair feel stripped! Experiment until you find a conditioner that feel your hair feeling great - some of mine co-wash brand favorites include Suave, Rain Tree, Aussie Moist, Giovanni and Aubrey Organics.

Now back to your orginal question - Yes, I often leave a deep conditioner in and only slightly rinse afterwards. You may not want to do this with heavy protein conditioners, but any moisturizing one should be fine.

Good Luck, CD

I don't notice an extra build up... just moisturized hair

Usually I use lustrasilk Olive oil Cholesterol.

If my hair has been deep conditioned recently and I just want to give it a little treat, I use VO5 moisture milks.

ing for more responses, please!!!

 

[poookie]

Yep! totally ok. i do this on the weekends sometimes. On lazy hair days i'll put a deep conditioner in my hair, do some chores around the house, and just rinse it out. no additional washing or conditioning. hair comes out just as soft.

 

[Toy]

I deep condition without washing 2x a week.

 

[remilaku]

I hear people do this alot. I can't do it. If I condition, I have to wash right after or I get product buildup.

 

[La Colocha]

I just did this yesterday and my hair still feels good, I just dc'd for a few hours, rinsed, moisturized and styled. I usually wash, once a week but didn't feel like it yesterday.

I am going to try this with the Jessicurl WDT on dry hair then cowash with curls coconut sublime condish. Does anyone follow up with a co wash condish for detangling and cleansing purposes?

 

[4evershika]

Yup, I do this every week... my mid-week DC...

 

[LivinMyLifeLikeItsGolden]

I do this alot...with a heating cap, with steam, with a shower cap...prb 2-3x per week

 

[sharifeh]

That should be fine! I don't see anything wrong with DCing without washing after.
what DC are you using?

 

[Jas123]

i do it all the time with no problems
