when you shampoo...

[Lilmama1011]

How many times do you do it? Once, twice or more?

 

[hillytmj]

Twice. The first time is only to the scalp then rinse. I do it a second time and let the suds gently run down my strands. I only use a moisturizing shampoo to do this and don't aim to get it squeaky clean like those commercials; I'm mainly trying to cleanse my scalp. Between the shampoo suds and DC that I do afterwards, my hair is clean.

I used to shampoo twice but since using an applicator bottle to apply the shampoo directly to my scalp, I've been getting much better suds action. I then just work it down the strands

Once is enough for me.

 

[Royalq]

just once. The shampoo i used really creates alot of suds that easily run down my twists.

I think I'm going to do it once. Because even though i detangle before washing it dries my roots out even with a moisturizing poo and when i apply conditioner relaxer style i struggle to seperate at the roots In certain parts. I use roots only applicator bottle so it does get mostly roots

Maybe do a R/O conditioner with VO5 before DCing

I do, and i finger comb under running water and i twist up and clip and put shirt on head for ten minute. It's mostly top of my four sections not the other parts mshoneyfly

Maybe i don't detangle the top fully before washing because if it was the shampoo all my roots would be tangled right?

Twice with creme of nature argan oil shampoo.

Once, with diluted shampoo in an applicator bottle. I focus mostly on my roots and the runoff gets the rest.

Ya'll have inspired me; I'm going to try the diluted shampoo/applicator approach.

It does help getting straight to the root, i think that's why i need to shampoo once

That could be it or your crown may just be the more corse than the rest. Thats the way mine is. The NG in the crown is super coily. The back and sides have a looser, bigger coil

Twice with diluted shampoo in a applicator bottle.

Twice. I'd prob do 3x once in a while if I didn't wash in sections. When my hair was relaxed straight I'd give my hair and scalp 3 washes.

[FoxxyLocs]

Twice. I use too much shampoo but my scalp doesn't feel clean otherwise.

 

[MileHighDiva]

Twice, but keep in mind that I only cleanse my hair/scalp every 10-14 days. I don't go through the wash day routine every week or multiple times a week, like a lot of the ladies.

It depends on how dirty my hair is.
