This is great information. I am going to try this the next time I wash my hair. I don't like hopping in and out of the shower.

I did this yesterday. I detangled from a twistout and slathered on my yogurt and honey mixture. It works well for me.

yes. but it was also a deep condition on dry hair because she put a DEEP conditioner on her DRY hair and left in on for more than 15 minutes.

Yeah. I agree it might seem like that.
But that's why it's important to use a true deep conditioner that works by *penetrating* the strand, and not an every day one that just coats the strand.
Also, I don't shampoo aggressively. I focus my shampoo on the scalp and mostly rinse the hair.

This is my problem as well. It seems as though I'm wasting more product because it takes more for my hair to soak it up as opposed to when it's wet. On the other hand, I have done an oil rinse before and this worked much better than using conditioner!!

I think I'm sold! I'm DCing on dry hair from now on! It's a win-win!
Me too! I think this is the most time effective method.
A few months ago, a stylist was giving hair tips in Cosmo magazine. Among other things, he said that dc'ing on dry hair was better because conditioner penetrates a lot more efficiently on dry hair than wet hair. He said you should dc with heat, rinse, shampoo and do a quick condition afterwards. I've been doing it like that ever since I read it, and I love how my hair feels. Convenience AND great results
My beautician said the same thing about rinses & hot oil treatments so, I just decided if those products take better on dry hair it'll be best for dcing also. I've been doing this since cowashing and it's mor manageable and feels soft instead of stiff. she said water can block the hair from getting all it should from some products.

I've been doing this for about two years now and would have it no other way. The conditioner really penetrates on dry hair and it makes detangling a breeze.

Question...when are you all detangling? Are you putting on the dc, then detangling before rinsing it out in the shower, or sometime after?

I detangle before and after. I wait for my hair to dry before I detangle the second time.

Both. I put on the DC and some olive oil and let it sit for two hours without heat under a shower cap and then comb it with a K cutter comb before washing it out. I put my hair in 4 plaits, then I poo and condition for 15-30min then rinse. I remove the plaits one at a time and apply my leave in and do one last comb through before putting it back in large plaits/twists to dry. I've done it without detangling before rinsing and I didnt have any problems, so in my case it's optional but I prefer detangling first so I have less detangling to do later.

Ladies who dc on dry hair... do you use cones? I alway feel like the conditioner won't penetrate effectively through all the oil and moisturizer and I don't use cones that often.

Yup my present conditioners have cones in them. I am just switching over to less cones now, using more organic hair products without parabens, waxes and cones in my upcoming new and improved regimen sometime next year
