How Many Times Do You Lather...

[TrulyBlessed]

...when you shampoo and when you conditioner wash. I remember when going to stylists they would lather with shampoo 3 times before conditioning. I used to do this but now I just lather once. I'm not sure how many times to lather with conditioner for conditioner washes.

 

[Nice]

The dominican salon that I go to for a wash & set usually lather up three times.

 

[California]

I lather once. I wash my hair frequently now. As a child and grown my head would get lathered 2-3 times, very unnecessary if you wash frequently. Maybe needed if you don't wash that often. I lathered/washed once with conditioner when I did do the CO washes.

 

[PrettyBrownEyes]

I lather 2x when I shampoo. I wash my hair once a week.

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

Once w/shampoo Once w/conditioner.

 

[Allandra]

I lather up as many times as necessary (especially since I love cones). I gotta make sure the build-up is all gone (leaving me with squeaky clean hair - which I love).

 

[mkh_77]

Once--I wash everyday.

 

[foxybrownsugar]

if my hair is "sqeeky" clean it feels hard so i only lather once. i wash everyday though in the summer

 

[TKD Vixen]

I lather once when I shampoo. I shampoo every other day to every 3 days.

 

[Chaya]

The directions on my shampoo bottle says "lather, rinse and repeat". I rarely lather more than twice unless I swim at the gym. If I go swimming I usually wash my hair at the gym to get the chlorine out where Ill lather rinse and repeat. Ill leave the gym with conditioner in my hair. At home then ill wash once more and then deep condition.

I usually do it twice unless after a relaxer.... first wash is a cleansing wash and the second is the lather...

 

[Dolapo]

i lather once

 

[brownhaired_bonanza]

I usually later about 4 times. It takes a whole lot of scrubbin for my head to feel totally squeaky clean.

 

[miracle]

Usually 2-3 times.

 

[senimoni]

Usually once. But I have dandruff shampoo so I may lather twice, not that often though

 

[BMoreFlyy]

I lather once. I wash every four days.

 

[hairmaster]

I shampoo hairdepending on the amount of lather I get on the first shampoo,and the amount of hair being shampoo, to play it safe twice.

 

[LiqueXX]

I usually lather twice because I use alot of oils and moisturizers. I wash twice a week.

 

[atl_mulattamami]

For my daily wash I lather up once.

For my weekly wash I lather up once with my clarifying shampoo and then once more with my moisturizing shampoo.

 

[caligirl]

I lather once and I rinse the shampoo off right away...no letting it sit for 3 minutes.

 

[victorious]

I usually lather twice.

I'm shampooing/conditioner washing 2-3 times a week only for the summer.

 

[SouthernGirl]

Once for me - co washing or shampooing.

I cowash daily and usually lather once.
Once a week I clarify and I lather once then, too.

 

[MeccaMedinah]

I lather one time.

 

[Queenie]

I lather once and I don't use a lot of shampoo. I really don't lather w/cond washes. I just slap it in and massage my scalp.

 

[Desert Skye]

I lather twice because my hair becomes limp with buildup and I have those annoying flakes that look like dandruff if I do not shampoo properly.

 

[LABETT]

I have to lather at least twice to get my hair clean.
I lather twice for co washes too.

 

[Jewell]

I lather twice, because I usually use a clarifying shampoo (one lather) followed by a moisturizing shampoo for slip (one lather).

 

[metalkitty]

Twice, just to be thorough enough. I don't feel once is enough for me.

 

[foxybronx]

i lather up 2x-3x once a week..i use a lot of oils on my scalp that give me buildup.
